Lin Feng used pure Qi, and instantly the pain in his body disappeared . Lin Feng still had the strength of the Half-Supreme God layer, that hadn’t changed . Chopping wood like an ordinary man was a refreshing experience .
“Should I come with you?” asked Lin Feng when he saw Xiao Qing put her hand on the carriage . She was ready to go down to the leader of the Fortified Village .
Xiao Qing smiled indifferently, “What could happen to me? Have a rest in my house . When I come back, I’ll grill some meat for you,” said Xiao Qing, then left without turning around .
Lin Feng stood in her courtyard and gazed into the distance . He could still smell her sweet perfume . He didn’t go back to the wooden hut right away, instead going for a walk .

After a few minutes, Lin Feng saw some people pointing at him, a bunch of older women . Lin Feng could easily hear what they were talking about .
“Hey, shhh! What if he heard us? I’ve heard that he was a wild man Xiao Qing brought back . ”
“Is that so? She brought back a wild man? Isn’t she afraid? He could be evil and rap…” began an ugly woman . But she quickly stopped talking when she saw Lin Feng was looking at her icily, then ran away . The other women ran away as well .

Lin Feng stood there and watched the women run away . They seemed so petty . No matter where he went, older women pointed at him and criticized him . Lin Feng couldn’t attack them, as they were so weak .
Lin Feng took another path . He realized that people here were poor . The biggest house was a only hundred square meters . Their houses and courtyards were all they had .
Lin Feng explored the area around Xiao Qing’s house, walking a few dozens of li . It was the same everywhere . In the evening, at dusk, mist floated above the village, and the bright red sun set in the west . It reminded Lin Feng of Chinese antiquity .
Even though the village wasn’t in a desert, the place was quite desolate, and there was lots of sand and dust there . Lin Feng liked this kind of lifestyle; people were poor and they didn’t have much, but Lin Feng felt even more alive in such conditions .
Lin Feng went back to the wooden house an hour later, but Xiao Qing hadn’t come back yet . Lin Feng started getting worried about her . It was already late, and the moon was already high up in the sky . With the moonlight, the atmosphere cooled, and Lin Feng felt cold in his heart .
He decided that if Xiao Qing didn’t come back, he’d go to the government offices to look for her .
——
Lin Feng didn’t know that some of the leader’s servants were making things difficult for her, a manager, to be precise . He was in charge of receiving firewood .

“Manager Tian, I brought firewood in time, and the pieces are quite big . Usually, it’s alright, why are you not satisfied today?” asked Xiao Qing, her hands on her hips . She was furious . She hadn’t been bullied for a long time .
Manager Tian smiled mockingly, “I said it wasn’t fine, do I need a reason for that? Hehe, you think you can do anything because our great prince likes you? I’ll tell you one thing; until you have slept with your great prince, you are not one of us . Hehe, you understand?”
“You’re humiliating me!” shouted Xiao Qing furiously, especially when the one who was humiliating her was a short fat man . She was so angry that she kicked the carriage, which rolled towards Manager Tian .
However, Manager Tian had the strength of the sixth Godly Emperor Layer, and even though Xiao Qing was quite strong, she couldn’t compete with him . After a dozen attacks, he grabbed her by the wrists firmly .
Xiao Qing’s face stiffened, starting to panic . Manager Tian looked at her in perverse glee . He grinned, showing his disgusting yellow teeth . “You have a strong temper, Miss . Every day, our great prince sleeps with many different women, you think he remembers you? Hehe, I think it’d be fine if I played with you today . Come to daddy!”
Manager Tian burst into laughter and dragged Xiao Qing even closer to him, as if he had caught fresh prey .
Xiao Qing’s expression changed drastically . Now matter how she struggled, nothing worked though . Manager Tian was firmly holding her wrists and dragging her into his courtyard .
“Manager Tian! Our Great Young Master is calling you!” shouted someone at that moment, interrupting Manager Tian .
Manager Tian’s smile stiffened as if he were a scorching hot flame and someone had thrown a bucket of ice-cold water at him . But the great prince was calling him, so he had to go .

“Miss, I’ll let you off today, but we’ll have other opportunities to have fun,” said Manager Tian laughing evilly and caressing her cheeks . Then he looked at Xiao Qing’s jade hairpin, which stirred his curiosity .
“Hey! Miss, you have such a beautiful jade hairpin, but how could a poor and miserable little girl like you have such a precious item? I’ll take it,” said Manager Tian, smiling coldly . He quickly stretched out his hand to her hair .
“Give it back to me! Give it back!” shouted Xiao Qing . She felt even more humiliated, and sad because it was the first time a man had given her a gift . She really cared about that hairpin, and now that Manager Tian had stolen it from her, she was furious .
However, Manager Tian just smiled icily . He slapped Xiao Qing’s hand and pushed her away . She was blown away and crashed against the carriage . The firewood fell down and scattered on the ground . She groaned with pain and put her hand on her chest . She even coughed up some blood .
“Bah! Stinky miserable bitch! You’re hot, but you’re nothing more than a toy for other men!” said Manager Tian mockingly . He turned around and left the courtyard .
Very quickly, a young man in grey clothes came into the courtyard . He hastily ran towards Xiao Qing and supported her by the arm to help her stand up .
“Miss Qing, are you alright? Hurry up and leave while Manager Tian and the great Young Master aren’t here,” said the servant to Xiao Qing hastily .
Xiao Qing looked at him skeptically and asked, “You’re the one who called him?”
“Yes, I called him to make him leave,” said the servant, nodding and smiling casually .
“You moron! You’ll be in danger, A Qi!” said Xiao Qing . Her expression changed quickly . She was extremely worried for him .
“Sister, don’t worry about me . Hurry up and run! Don’t ever come back here . I have a solution,” said A Qi, pushing Xiao Qing away . Xiao Qing had no choice but to leave, but she was worried about Xiao Qi .
She had always brought firewood to the government offices, ever since she was young . Each time, Xiao Qi received the firewood from her . Time had passed and they had become like siblings . They had gone through similar hardships in life . Xiao Qi was an orphan, and the leader of the village had brought him in and he had become his servant .
Xiao Qi was usually quite afraid, but now Xiao Qing could see that he was a real man .
Xiao Qing wiped the blood off her mouth; she didn’t want Lin Feng to notice there was something wrong . She didn’t know that she had a big hand mark on her cheek…
——
Lin Feng was seated at the gate and gazing into the distance . When he saw that Xiao Qing wasn’t coming back, he got ready to go and look for her .
However, as he was about to set off, Xiao Qing slowly came walking back . When Lin Feng saw her, he instantly noticed the red hand mark on her face and sensed that she was injured .
But Lin Feng didn’t ask anything, he waited for her to speak .
