Upon hearing this, Lin Xue'er's gaze towards Qin Feng suddenly became somewhat peculiar.

Whether rural or not isn't important.

Her grandmother's house is also in the countryside, and she often visits.

The main point is the idea of "living off a woman".

No woman respects a man who lives off a woman.

"Sister Yunxiao, I've heard about your situation too, sigh, you've really had it tough." Lin Xue'er expressed her sympathy, and then whispered, "By the way, I've noticed Zhao Yu seems interested in you, he even carried your heavy luggage for you, won't you consider it?"

"Stop kidding, I'm already married, I wouldn't do that sort of thing, and..." She glanced at Qin Feng, then continued, "He's very good to me."

"Is his goodness something you can eat? With your qualities, you could find a towering figure of a man, why settle for such a compromise?"

Lin Xue'er advised.

Qin Feng, with his sharp hearing, overheard her faint voice while eating a ham sausage and said, "Beauty, there's a saying: better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a marriage, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"

"You..."

Lin Xue'er hadn't expected him to hear her, so she stood up and said to Qin Feng, "Come over here with me, I have something to tell you."

Qin Feng knew what she was going to say and followed her with a smile, heading towards the grove ahead.

Not knowing what was happening here, Duke and others who saw the situation became envious, "Damn it, what kind of romantic luck has that bastard stumbled upon? Lin Xue'er, such a beauty, is actually going alone with him to the grove..."

"Despicable bastard!"

Zhao Yu was also very annoyed at the sight. My Virtual Library Empire (*) hosts the original.

"It might be a misunderstanding, what status is Lin Xue'er? How could she possibly fancy that kid, don't worry too much."

Someone commented.

People thought it made sense, but still felt uncomfortable.

What could two people alone in the grove be up to?

Inside the grove.

Seeing no one around, Lin Xue'er stopped walking, crossed her arms, leaned against a tree trunk, and said to Qin Feng, "Tell me! How much money do you want?"

"Money?"

"Stop pretending, aren't you clinging onto Sister Yunxiao and refusing to leave just for the money?" Lin Xue'er sneered.

"No, it's because of her person."

"Vulgar, disgusting!"

"…My meaning is love, it's your own thoughts that are dirty."

"…"

Lin Xue'er was at a loss for words, unable to argue, so she simply said directly, "Alright, half a million, you leave Sister Yunxiao, how about that? Half a million, for someone from a rural area, it should at least save you twenty years of struggle."

"Hehe."

Qin Feng responded with a look of disdain.

Seeing this, Lin Xue'er grew so angry her face turned red, exclaiming, "Don't push your luck, I can at most add another hundred thousand, six hundred thousand, that's all you're worth!"

"If there's nothing else, could you please turn around?"

Qin Feng said.

Lin Xue'er, puzzled, blinked and asked, "If I turn around, will you agree?"

"Not that, I need to pee."

"Pee? What does that mean? Is there water here? What water?" Lin Xue'er tilted her head for a while, still confused.

"…"

Qin Feng was somewhat baffled.

This girl looked sharp-tongued, and rumour has it she's the granddaughter of a master antiques dealer, having frequently been on archaeological work abroad in recent years; one would think she'd be shrewd or at least very clever, right?

How come she seemed so naively silly, almost endearingly dumb?

"It means I need to urinate!"

Qin Feng helplessly shrugged.

"You, you… how vulgar!"

Lin Xue'er turned around, her face flushed red.

Especially upon hearing the sound of Qin Feng "peeing", she felt both annoyed and embarrassed, even covering her ears.

"Alright, I'm heading back now."

Qin Feng fastened his belt and said.

"Hey, we haven't finished our conversation!"

Lin Xue'er called out.

"I never intended to discuss this with you to begin with; I just came here to pee."

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered with her and walked back on his own.

Lin Xue'er felt played and was so angry she felt like her lungs would explode: "What an asshole!"

She too walked back and suddenly felt the urge to "release water," taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around to relieve herself behind a clump of bushes.

When she finished,

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain at the base of her thigh, making her scream.

Qin Feng, who hadn't gone far, heard her and immediately returned. He saw that her thigh had been bitten by a colorful snake and, without a word, stepped on the snake, then grabbed its tail and flung it far away!

"It's alright, there's nothing to worry about now."

Qin Feng said to Lin Xue'er, who was in shock.

"I... I can't move..."

Lin Xue'er said weakly.

Qin Feng took a closer look and saw a bruise forming where she was bitten, frowning, he said, "Damn it, that snake is poisonous, we must suck the poison out quickly!"

"No... No way..."

Lin Xue'er's face turned red with embarrassment.

Being bitten in such a place was too embarrassing, wouldn't sucking on it be like a kiss?

Absolutely not!

"Then I'll carry you to find Su Ruolan, she's a doctor," Qin Feng said. "However, snake venom spreads quickly, I'm afraid by the time we get there, you might be paralyzed, and even if you recover, you might suffer extensive skin ulcers."

"..."

Lin Xue'er became frightened.

She could already feel a loss of strength all over her body and even some numbness. What was more important was her snow-white skin, if it ulcerated, how would she ever get a boyfriend in the future?

"Make a decision quickly!"

Qin Feng urged.

"Then... go ahead and suck out the poison..."

Lin Xue'er said, her face blushing.

Qin Feng didn't hesitate either, he first pressed on several points on her body, and then began to suck out the poison.

In a moment,

The snake venom was completely removed. Qin Feng pressed on the same points again and slapped her on the back, prompting her to involuntarily vomit for a while before it was over.

"How do you feel now?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Much... much better..."

Lin Xue'er responded.

Her body was still a bit weak, but the numbness was gone.

"Let's get back quickly then! Otherwise, there might be some misunderstandings."

Qin Feng said.

"Misunderstandings?"

"Of course, think about it, a lone man and a woman in a small grove for so long, wouldn't people misunderstand?"

"Cut it out, it's just your dirty mind!"

Lin Xue'er looked at him with disdain.

Resting area.

Duke and others, who had seen Qin Feng and Lin Xue'er enter the grove earlier, were getting anxious.

They had been in there for such a long time.

Other than that thing, they couldn't think of anything else they could be doing!

"No way, it's absolutely impossible!" one of them said, "Lin Xue'er has high standards, I heard a young master from Capital City tried to court her and didn't succeed, so there's no way she would take an interest in that loser just after meeting him."

"Exactly, it's definitely impossible, we're just overthinking it."

Duke also said.

At that moment,

They saw Qin Feng and Lin Xue'er coming back, and each of them was dumbfounded!

"How, how is this possible?!"

Duke's eyes widened with resentment.

Because Lin Xue'er was quite weak, she was supported by Qin Feng the whole time. Plus, since the bite was near her thigh, she limped a little as she walked, and her clothes were in disarray.

"Don't tell me... they really did that thing?"

The others were also astonished.
