"You don't have... problems in that area, do you?" Zhao Guo'an said in a tone as if he had discovered a great secret.

He then nodded to himself, "That's it, I was wondering why you're so calm around so many beauties, turns out you have the heart but... bam!"

Midway through his sentence, he took a solid punch from Xiao Feng, and two streams of blood rapidly flowed from his nostrils, dripping onto the table.

Zhao Guo'an was stunned by the blow, not even feeling pain at first, just hearing a buzzing sound and his mind went blank.

"Old Zhao, don't blame me, I'm doing this for your own good. The way you speak without thinking, if I don't hit you now, one day you might end up being killed without knowing why," Xiao Feng said coolly.

What do men hate the most? It's when others say they're not good enough, and Zhao Guo'an dared to take the risk, which matched Xiao Feng's previous evaluation of him—someone forever on the edge of seeking trouble, like Wang Lubo.

"Do you really think I can't beat you?" Zhao Guo'an stopped his bleeding and shouted angrily at Xiao Feng.

"Yes," Xiao Feng answered directly.

"Fine, today I'll show you that you cannot judge a book by its cover!"

Leaving a harsh word, Zhao Guo'an started rummaging through boxes and drawers, looking like he was preparing to unleash his final move.

"Cannot judge a book by its cover?" Xiao Feng repeated Zhao Guo'an's boast and couldn't help but chuckle, "The seawater is pretty chilly."

Zhao Guo'an ignored Xiao Feng's mockery and continued searching through the drawers until he finally pulled out a jade porcelain bottle, "Inside this is a laxative I made. If you take it and can hold it without 'going wild,' I'll do whatever you want afterward."

Xiao Feng pondered for two seconds, "Whatever afterward, isn't it already like that now?"

"..." Zhao Guo'an was speechless, thinking how he'd been cooking, driving, and staying up late researching that golden orb all because of Xiao Feng.

After quite a while, Zhao Guo'an, with his face reddened, dared himself to challenge Xiao Feng, "Will you dare to take it?"

"I won't," Xiao Feng replied crisply, then waved his hand, "Get some rest, you have to make breakfast tomorrow morning."

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the balcony, leaving behind a graceful back.

"Damn it..." Zhao Guo'an felt like crying, thinking how someone can be shameless to such an extent.

...

The night faded, revealing a hint of light on the horizon, and everyone woke up early to wash up, ready to greet the sunrise.

After freshening up, the little girl thoughtfully moved Xiao Feng's stool and chair to the yard, and even made a pot of tea on the table, being exceptionally attentive.

Xiao Feng pretended not to see this, washing his face and brushing his teeth, going about his business indifferent.

Those who didn't know the little girl's nature would think she was a very obedient and sensible young lady, but Xiao Feng knew better. The little girl wasn't that easy to deal with; there must be something behind this sudden attentiveness.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Feng sat down, he heard footsteps behind him.

The little girl ran up to him and started massaging his shoulders, softly asking, "Brother Xiao Feng, does this feel good? Want me to apply more pressure?"

"Just say what you need," Xiao Feng said without any change in expression.

"Why would I have anything?" The little girl replied while massaging, "Brother Xiao Feng, you've been so good to me, always taking care of me, this is what I should do."

Xiao Feng turned his head, suspiciously asking, "Really no reason?"

"Oh, right!" The little girl smacked her forehead, "I didn't think of anything, but since you asked, Brother Xiao Feng, I remembered a little something."

Just as Xiao Feng knew her well, she knew him equally well. If she didn't speak now, she might lose the chance entirely, so the little girl readily went along and dropped her act.

Xiao Feng gave a "just as expected" smile and said, "Go ahead, I'm curious about what kind of small matter makes Miss Mu serve tea and massage shoulders."

"Massage the legs?" The little girl immediately ran to Xiao Feng's front and squatted down, rolling up her sleeves.

"What are you doing?"

Facing the little girl's unusual behavior, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.

"Massage, of course," the little girl replied matter-of-factly, "Brother Xiao Feng, don't move, I'll give you a good massage."

"Let's talk about the real issue first," Xiao Feng stopped the little girl, not daring to let her massage his legs, as her demeanor seemed more surgical than serving.

"Oh, okay." The little girl agreed, then smiled seductively, "Brother Xiao Feng, do you think reputation is important to a person?"

Xiao Feng didn't rush to answer, afraid there might be a trap waiting for him, and considered carefully before replying, "Most of the time it is quite important."

"Then you shouldn't go back on your word, right?" the little girl persisted.

Xiao Feng didn't commit, "Depends on what the matter is."

Failing twice to get the response she wanted, the little girl stomped her feet impatiently, "It's really something small, something you can do with a snap of your fingers."

"What do you really want to say?" Xiao Feng put down his cup of tea and looked the little girl squarely in the eyes.

The little girl instinctively dodged his gaze and then lowered her head, "I... I want to go with you to find the descendant of the miracle healer."

"Just that?" Xiao Feng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Didn't I promise to take you along earlier?"

"This is because of special circumstances, as we all moved to sleep in the living room because of those bad guys," the little girl rubbed her nose, "I'm afraid at some point you'll say you're worried I'll be in danger and then find an excuse to not take me out."

"So you were trying to lead me to say those words to trap me using my own words?" Xiao Feng shook his head with a smile, "Despite your young age, you're quite clever."

The little girl suddenly looked up and said mischievously, "I don't care, you promised to take me, you can't make excuses to back out."

"I never intended to back out, but I have a request," Xiao Feng put forward a condition.

"Alright, alright!" The little girl grinned from ear to ear, "As long as you let me go along, I'm willing to cooperate in any way, Brother Xiao Feng, just tell me."

Xiao Feng beckoned the little girl to come closer and whispered, "When we're having lunch, you just say..."

The little girl listened to Xiao Feng and nodded repeatedly, agreeing readily, "Rest assured, I'll complete the task!"
