The First Genocide's Grudge

  Qingfeng Town was not big, Shang Liuyou brought Xiaoxian and they hastily entered the town, planning to find a place to settle down and rest for a while. However, they discovered that the people around them had started staring at them. Of course, they were also quite strange.

  He wore a joyful dress, with the wind and dust covering his head, without even opening it, and walked into the inn with Xiaoxian's support, attracting countless people to stop in their tracks. Last night's fight, plus the overnight rush, naturally left their bodies covered in dust.

  A bride who was dressed up looked so disheveled, making people secretly speculate that either the two were eloping or this bride had run away with someone, anyway everyone was whispering to each other, all sorts of speculations.

  While Shang Li Yu went out to check the situation, Ling Feng pulled Xiao Xian over: "Xiao Xian, we can't stay here. Since the Holy Maiden has something going on, we have to go find her!"

  Xiao Xian furrowed her brow: "Ling Gege, I couldn't calculate the Saintess's whereabouts. This is an unfamiliar place for us, where should we go to find the Saintess?"

  "I left a trail of secret signs along the way when I came here. If the Holy Maiden sees them, she will surely know that we have arrived in Qingfeng Town!"

  Xiao Xian nodded: "The Holy Maiden has agreed to meet us here, she will definitely come here!"

  "Little fairy, wait here for me, I'll go find the Holy Maiden along the path we took yesterday!" Ling Feng still couldn't put his mind at ease.

  "No way! Brother Ling, you're pretending to be the Holy Maiden now. If you don't show up, it'll be troublesome when the three princes arrive later! Besides, didn't you hear that person say that the merchants from Guo have already sent people here to welcome the Holy Maiden? When the time comes, if you're not there, you'll definitely stir up big trouble! Let me go instead, my sense of smell is keen and I can run fast!"

  Ling Feng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Alright, be careful then! You must find the Holy Maiden! If she doesn't come soon, once the merchants from Shang Guo arrive, everything will fall apart!"

  "Alright!" Xiaoxian no longer hesitated, and rushed out to Shang Liuyou: "Benefactor, I'm going out for a bit, please take care of the Holy Maiden for me!" Without waiting for his agreement or disagreement, she vanished in an instant.

  When Dai Shang hurried over, he only saw a white shadow suddenly disappear into the distance. His eyebrows couldn't help but furrow together - what kind of lightness technique was that? He had never seen it before.

  "Saintess, are you hungry?" Shang Liuyou looked at the 'saintess' who was sitting beside him, seemingly a bit shy.

  Ling Feng subconsciously withdrew his hand and shook his head. What was he being shy about? He was worried that he would reveal his true nature and be seen through by others.

  Shang Liyou merely said that 'she' had something to consider, thinking to himself that as a grown man, he couldn't stay in the same room with 'her'. If this got out, it would be troublesome: "I'll just wait outside, you rest for a bit. If there's anything you need, just call out and I'll hear you. Later, when the three princes arrive, I'll invite them up!"

  Ling Feng still nodded, still without making a sound.

  Shang Liyou didn't suspect anything else, turned around and walked out the door with a smile, while Ling Feng only let out a sigh of relief after he left, it seemed that playing the role of a holy maiden wasn't as easy as he thought.

  Just as he was lost in thought, his nose suddenly caught a whiff of an unusual scent. He subconsciously held his breath. This little trick also dared to be used in front of him? After all, he had received the true transmission from Wu Nian Lao Ren, so what could this trivial amount of anesthesia do to him?

  Pretending to fall asleep on the table, after a while, one jumped in from the back window and crept up to him, without saying a word, he picked him up and was about to jump out of the back window again.

  Ling Feng secretly pressed a silver pellet and hit the teacup on the table, making a loud "pa" sound. The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!

  "Saintess!" The merchant, Lei You, burst in through the door and collided with Jin Ying, who was carrying the 'Saintess' and trying to leave. Without thinking, he shouted: "It's you again! Put down the Saintess at once!"

  Jin Ying's hand beckoned to one side, and Mu Ying and others entered in a file from the carved flower window, intercepting Shang Liyou who was about to chase Jin Ying. Meanwhile, Jin Ying took advantage of the opportunity to carry Ling Feng and jump out of the window.

  Ling Feng could have easily struck Jin Ying's acupoints, but seeing how hard he was working and discovering the black-clad person lurking somewhere, he decided to observe for now.

  Jin Ying carried Ling Feng on his back, thinking to himself that this woman was incredibly heavy. His lightness skills were not bad, but carrying Ling Feng left him drenched in sweat!

  Of course, he never dreamed that what he was carrying was actually a real big man!

  As soon as he left the town, he discovered those who were following him. He put Ling Feng aside and slowly stood up, looking in a certain direction: "Since you've all come, show yourselves! This place is spacious, I'll settle it with you all at once!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than seven or eight people in black clothes rushed out from the side, all of whom were masked and were undoubtedly men of Shang Li Jun.

  "It's you again! Who are you people? Why did you want to kill the Holy Maiden?" Jin Ying recognized from their physique that these black-clothed men were the same ones who had ruthlessly killed the Holy Maiden earlier.

  The masked A Fei deliberately lowered his voice and said, "We want to kill the Holy Girl, it has nothing to do with you, know your place, roll away quickly! Otherwise, the knife will not have eyes!"

  "You want to kill the Holy Maiden? You'll have to get past my sword first!" Jin Ying's arms shook, and a soft sword appeared in his hand. He was entrusted by his master to safely escort the Holy Maiden back to Xiangyang Manor, so he had to protect her at all costs.

  "You want to die! Then we'll fulfill your wish!" Ah Fei smiled coldly, and with a wave of his hand, all his subordinates charged at Jin Ying with their swords, while he himself walked step by step towards Ling Feng who was sitting on the side.

  Jin Ying's martial arts were indeed formidable, but two fists couldn't defeat four palms. As he caught a glimpse of Ah Fei approaching the Holy Maiden step by step, his heart suddenly felt anxious. In a moment of carelessness, his arm was slashed open by one of them, leaving a long gash!

  No time to care about the wound on his arm, he jumped back and pulled Lingfeng up: "Holy Maiden! Come with me quickly!" Perhaps it was a bit too sudden, the wind blew, and the red veil covering Lingfeng's head flew off!

  The veil flew off in the wind and landed on one side. Jin Ying subconsciously turned her head to take a look, her face suddenly changed, and she immediately let go of her hand, pointing at Ling Feng in surprise and asking: "You're not the Holy Maiden! Who are you?"

  Jin Ying naturally saw the Holy Maiden before, so she recognized Ling Feng as an imposter at a glance!

  Anyway, since it's already been exposed, Ling Feng also felt that there was no need to hide anymore. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly: "Who I am, you don't need to know!"

  A Fei, who had caught up, was also stunned. What kind of woman's voice was this? It was clearly a man! He too pointed at Ling Feng in anger and asked: "You're not the Holy Maiden? Then where is the real Holy Maiden?"

  "You don't deserve to know!" Ling Feng was only a slave in front of Mei'er, but at this moment, he had the same arrogance as other men.

  "Since you pretend to be the Holy Maiden and look for death! Then we'll fulfill your wish!" Ah Fei's anger rose, anyway, his master had ordered that anyone around the Holy Maiden would be killed without exception. Whether they killed one more or one less, it was no longer within their consideration.

  "You want to kill me? You'll have to be capable of it first!" Ling Feng wasn't being arrogant, he was just being crazy. He missed Mei Er and didn't want to entangle with them any further.

  He reached into his sleeve and pulled out the life-saving treasure given by his master, which he always carried with him. His thin lips slightly curled up as he casually tossed it out: "Look at my poisonous smoke!"

  Suddenly a thick smoke rose, and everyone thought it was really poisonous smoke, hurriedly covering their mouths and noses. When the smoke dispersed, they looked around and found that Ling Feng's shadow was gone!

  Jin Ying saw that things were not going well and also took advantage of the opportunity to slip away!

  However, he was still very puzzled in his heart. He had clearly seen the Holy Maiden get on the horse carriage and they had all followed along, yet they didn't even know when the Holy Maiden had been switched out. It seemed that this time, he would be severely punished when he returned to report back.

  At a sudden thought, he turned back and returned to Qingfeng Town. If he wasn't mistaken, the Holy Maiden would definitely appear here.

  But Ah Fei's subordinates saw the iron-green face of Lao Da, and thinking back to his expression when he gave orders, they hastily asked: "Lao Da, what should we do now?" If they return empty-handed this time, it's likely that Lao Da will take their lives.

  A Fei's thick eyebrows gathered slightly, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "We don't know the Holy Maiden. Now that we know she's been switched, the person who came earlier can't go back and report. He knows the real Holy Maiden, so he'll definitely go find her. The people sent to welcome the Holy Maiden will arrive soon. At that time, if Xi Xia can't produce the Holy Maiden, with Xi Xia Wang's cunning, it's impossible for him to make such a mistake. So, we just need to return to Qingfeng Town and wait for the rabbit to come to us!"

  "Great leader is wise!" his subordinate praised.

  A few people returned to Qingfeng Town again, quietly paying attention to every move at the town entrance. Before the real Holy Maiden appears, they will not make any rash moves!

  Mei'er and Anan also rushed to Qingfeng Town, and on the way, Mei'er discovered Ling Feng's secret signal, knowing that they had already gone to Qingfeng Town, and couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  The horse ran too fast, and the wound on Mei's shoulder was torn open by the jolting, blood flowing out non-stop, staining her entire shoulder red. However, Mei clenched her teeth tightly, not making a sound, deliberately spreading out her hair to cover up the bloody patch.

  An also immersed in his own chaotic thoughts, only to urge the horse forward, for a time did not notice, until Mei'er cried out in pain, her entire body slid down, he was shocked.

  "Mei'er!" With a swift movement, he brought Mei'er to the ground, brushing aside her hair, and only then did he see that crimson stain. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was pain or anger, she was so stubborn, having lost so much blood, yet not making a single sound!

  "Your wound has been open for a long time, why don't you speak out?" He was angry that she always treated herself so cruelly.

  "What's the big deal, anyway? It's not like I'm going to die!" Mei'er said with a pale lip due to excessive blood loss, but her tone was still as cold as ever.

  "We have to stop the bleeding first!" Ah Nan knew that if he continued to argue with her, he would only get angrier. He pursed his lips and quickly tore off a piece of her clothing, not caring whether she was willing or not, and pulled open her shoulder to bandage it up!

  "Bold thief! Let go of the holy girl!" Unexpectedly, Little Fairy happened to arrive there and appeared right behind them, so she didn't notice Mei'er was injured. Seeing Anan tearing open Mei'er's clothes, in a state of panic, she rushed towards Anan.

  The fox attacked people, no more than tearing and biting. Ah Nan saw Xiaoxian pounce over, fearing that she would accidentally hurt Mei'er, so he hugged Mei'er to one side and used his arm to block Xiaoxian.

  "Hiss! Hiss!" A few tearing sounds cut through the air, and when he looked again, his arm had been scratched by Xiaoxian with several bloody marks!

  "Xiao Xian, stop!" Mei'er saw Xiao Xian hurt Ah Nan, and her heart inexplicably tightened. She didn't care about the wound on her arm, she sprang up and grabbed Xiao Xian's hand that was raised again.

  "Saintess!" Xiaoxian stopped in her tracks, only now noticing the blood on Mei'er's shoulder. Her face turned pale with fright: "Saintess, you're injured?" She had calculated that Mei'er would get into trouble, but she hadn't expected it to be true!

  "I'm fine!" Mei'er bit her lip, although the blood had flowed a lot more than usual, but this kind of injury really didn't amount to much for her.

  "Stop talking so much and let's bandage the wound first!" Anan didn't care about his own injured arm, but insisted on bandaging Mei'er instead.

  Mei'er originally wanted to call Xiaoxian, but her mouth moved slightly, and in the end, she still let Anan bandage her wound. After all, he had almost touched every part of her body, so what did a little more skin contact matter?

  Xiao Xian crouched beside them, looking puzzled. She too sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two of them and blinked her cute big eyes, but couldn't figure it out.

  Until Anan finished bandaging Mei'er, she got up and apologized to Anan: "Sorry! I misunderstood you earlier, the wound on your hand..." Although the fox claw was not highly toxic, if it wasn't treated properly, it would be painful for several days.

  Anan waved his arm and smiled: "Don't worry, this little skin injury doesn't matter!"

  The girl beside him rarely looked at him seriously, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw his profile with a revealing smile, and suddenly a thought popped up: what would the real him look like when he smiled?

  Perhaps feeling Mei'er's gaze on him, Ah Nan also turned back to smile at her, his eyes reverting to their previous playful disdain: "Holy Maiden, I failed in my duty as your escort; consider this wound a punishment!"

  Even the voice returned to its previous vicious tone, Mei'er secretly frowned and said in a bad tone: "You really are derelict in your duty. Little immortal, you should have caught him a few more times earlier!"

  I'd rather tear his stinking mouth apart!

  "Hahaha~~~" Anan stood up, patted the dust off his body, and laughed loudly: "If you want to punish me again, do it now, because in the future, there might not be many chances!"

  It's easy to say on the face, but the inexplicable bitterness in his heart makes him want to scream! Always feeling suffocated in his heart!

  "Xiao Xian, he's a madman, don't mind him, let's go!" Mei'er helped Xiao Xian up and ignored Ah Nan, turning to leave.

  An's smile in his eyes froze as he turned around with Mei'er on his back, and countless complexities flowed through his eyes.

  Feelings have risen and fallen, even if he knows there's no result, but then, how can he stop his own heart? He wants to love, but he is destined not to love!

  If one day she finds out that he has been deceiving her from the very beginning, then with such an extreme personality of hers, she will definitely hate him to the bone!
