"So Oppa really cares about me that much?"

Apparently moved by her relentless questioning, the voice of Feng Huang on the phone sounded somewhat grateful.

However, for Xu Fan who knew this woman well, he knew better than to trust even the punctuation in her sentences.

"Mmm... Oppa is so capable, he should be able to find me on his own."

"Oppa, come and find me, okay? If you do, I'll let you hehehe."

"..."

This woman was clearly mocking his abilities.

Indeed, having left White Crescent, it was tremendously difficult to locate a person in the vast expanse of Jinling City, especially one who was a top-tier mercenary skilled in evading surveillance.

However, was this woman underestimating him a bit too much?

"Feng Huang, I don't know what South Koreans are like, but here in Huaxia, we have an old saying."

"A promise from a gentleman is as fast as a galloping horse that can't be recaptured—you better remember what you've said."

"Just wait until I find you, I'll make you cry!"

"Giggle, Oppa, Feng Huang really doesn't think you have the capability to find me now."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Oppa says he'll make me cry, I'm actually looking forward to it."

...

Continuing this nonsense with Feng Huang would be pointless and only lead to malnutrition for him. With a dark expression, Xu Fan promptly hung up the phone.

Damn it, this woman dared to be so arrogant in front of him. As soon as he found her, the first thing to do was to administer fifty slaps on her butt!

After collecting his thoughts, Xu Fan made another call.

Who knows where Feng Huang was hiding, but Xu Fan didn't plan to look for her himself.

The power of Lingyan Pavilion spanned the entirety of Jinling; impressive as she was, she was still just one person.

Xu Fan simply couldn't believe that his numerous subjects couldn't catch a single Feng Huang.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

The phone was quickly connected, and Hu Busan's voice came through. After a deep breath, Xu Fan said, "Hu Busan, I want you to notify everyone in Lingyan Pavilion to find someone for me."

"Target: South Korean, female, 1.75 meters tall, blonde, bust size..."

Xu Fan carefully described Feng Huang's features from his memory to Hu Busan, who couldn't help feeling perplexed.

The more he listened, the more it sounded like Xu Fan was describing a South Korean female celebrity who had sneaked into Huaxia.

Did his master get into chasing female celebrities lately?

"Hehe, master, Hu Busan understands. Don't worry, I'll have her on your bed by tonight…"

Hu Busan certainly had a knack for being a sycophant. He promised eagerly with a mischievous smile.

Xu Fan, however, frowned.

"Hu Busan, don't say I didn't warn you. When you meet this woman, make sure she doesn't sense your intentions."

"Just tell me her location. Of course, if you think your life is too long, feel free to try getting close to her."

Feng Huang was no pushover; Xu Fan himself had nearly been tricked by her several times.

Although Hu Busan and the others could handle others, they still weren't a match for Feng Huang.

After instructing Hu Busan, Xu Fan then hung up the phone.

By then, it was already getting dark. Zhou Keren and Qin Mengyue had sent him messages saying they had found a restaurant and wouldn't wait for him.

Of course, even if they had invited him, Xu Fan couldn't join them now.

It was about time to treat Duoduo's illness.

Thinking about this, Xu Fan felt a headache coming on. Curing the illness was one thing, but having a fairy hovering over him all the time was another matter.

Oh Lord, why must you torment me like this?

...

By the time Xu Fan reached Mu Qingyan's neighborhood, it was almost eight o'clock.

Throughout the journey, Xu Fan walked with trepidation, God knows what awaited him…

Now at Mu Qingyan's doorstep, Xu Fan was about to knock when he realized the front door was slightly ajar.

Could it be that those reckless people from yesterday had come again?

As he thought this, Xu Fan frowned and walked in.

Upon pushing the door open and entering, he saw no one else and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw Mu Qingyan waiting for him in the living room, that sigh of relief was suddenly held halfway and choked back.

"Xu Fan, you're here?"

"Come eat some 'tofu'."

Wearing a light pink apron, Mu Qingyan now stood in front of the dining table, beckoning him seductively.

This… this is for real...

To be asked to eat 'tofu' right at the door, Mu Qingyan, you're being too forward...

"Qingyan, I have something urgent…"

Touching his nose, Xu Fan tried to slip away, but Mu Qingyan saw him and rushed over with a reproachful expression.

"You can't go!"

"I've prepared for so long, if you don't eat my 'tofu,' it means you're looking down on me."

"Er..."

At this moment, Mu Qingyan tightly wrapped her arms around his, dragging him towards the dining table.

Feeling the soft touches every now and then, Xu Fan felt his body heat up.

Damn it, I'm a man! How could I possibly hold back in this situation!

Hormones surged wildly, and Xu Fan felt he was about to lose control!

However, when he was finally dragged in front of the dining table, Xu Fan was dumbfounded.

"Eat quickly, it's not as good when it gets cold."

Now being pressed down into the chair by Mu Qingyan, seeing the plate of Mapo Tofu and dumplings in front of him, Xu Fan's inner fire was instantly doused…

Mapo Tofu…

Smacking his lips, Xu Fan picked up the chopsticks Mu Qingyan handed him and asked, "Qingyan, where's Duoduo?"

"Oh, Duoduo got tired from playing today, so I let her rest for now. I'll wake her up later."

As she spoke, Mu Qingyan began serving dumplings to Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, it's gotten colder recently. Eat more dumplings. Like the old saying goes, nothing's better than dumplings…"

"Cough, cough!"

Before Mu Qingyan could finish saying this, the dumpling that Xu Fan had just tossed into his mouth was spat out.

How the hell did you become so dirty in just one day!

Where's the virtuous and gentle Qingyan I knew before?

Watching Mu Qingyan covering her mouth and snickering at this moment, Xu Fan couldn't help but swallow hard.

Given their ages, they should probably address each other formally...

"Qingyan, what are you saying..."

Xu Fan's heart started pounding wildly, feeling that tonight might just cost him his life.

"Pfft, nothing's more fun than dumplings."

At this moment, Mu Qingyan gave Xu Fan a chiding glance and said.

That's when Mu Qingyan gave Xu Fan a sideways glance and added, "Xu Fan, you have to stay with me for the night."

Stay with you for the night?

This?

That doesn't seem quite right…
