"My business isn't that important, Sister Xiao-Jiang. I came to In-See City today because I'm looking for skill books or anything related to harp and flute." Zheng-Fu immediately told Xiao-Jiang the reason why he came.

Huh!!?

"The harp and the flute instrumental skill books?"

"That's right… I don't know if Sister Xiao-Jiang knows anyone who has these books or not?"

"Um... I'm not sure either. I'll let someone try to check it first."

"Yes... Thank you, Sister Xiao-Jiang, for your help," Zheng-Fu said with a sweet smile at Xiao Jiang.

Pinch!!!

Ouch!!!

Suddenly, Zheng-Fu let out a cry with a pained expression before stroking his arm since Qi-Fu-Er reached out to pinch his arm with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Ha ha ha!!!

"Both of you look so good together. You're really a match for each other!" When Xiao-Jiang saw that Qi-Fu-Er's expression seemed dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu since he smiled at her just now, she teased her, causing Qi-Fu-Er to lower her head in embarrassment immediately.

"Yes, Sister Xiao-Jiang… The two of us get along really well!"

"You!!!"

After Xiao-Jiang finished her words, Zheng-Fu raised his arms to embrace Qi-Fu-Er before replying with a happy face. As for the girl being embraced by Zheng-Fu, she was prepared to raise her hand and push him away. But when she saw Xiao-Jiang staring at her with a smile, she put her hand down and sat silently as before, without any further resistance.

She was very embarrassed, but at the same time, she felt good that Zheng-Fu had done this.

"Alright, Sister won't bother you two anymore. You guys can stay here today, so you don't have to waste time looking for the inn. Also, this room should be suitable for... Hehe!!!" Xiao-Jiang stopped midway before finishing her words, then laughed lightly as she walked out of the room.

"Wait, Sister Xiao-Jiang! You said, suitable for what?" Zheng-Fu asked, frowning. However, Xiao-Jiang had already left the room without answering his question.

"Sigh... What did Sister say? I don't understand at all. Do you think…" But then Zheng-Fu suddenly realized that he was hugging the girl close to him. And he began to smell the attractive scent of her body that hit his nose.

"Could you just release me?" said the woman in a low voice, without even turning to look at Zheng-Fu, as she did not dare look at him.

"I wanted to let go, but since you are so sweet-scented and soft, I can't let you go." Zheng-Fu turned around, bringing his face closer to the girl.

"You idiot! Release me now! Someone may come and see it." The girl felt so embarrassed that she wanted to bury her face in the ground. Her face had turned completely red.

*Getting a chance like this would be foolish to let go!* Zheng-Fu thought in his mind, hugging her even more firmly. As he hugged her tighter, the more he could hear her heart beating faster, and her nice scent grew sweeter as well.

Tu-tum Tu-tum!!!

"Phew! No matter what happened to you in the past, it is not important. From now on, please remember that I will be by your side and protect you." Zheng-Fu immediately turned into a profound expression and hugged Qi-Fu-Er tighter.

"Hmm." As for Qi-Fu-Er, she replied briefly and allowed Zheng-Fu to hug her like that.

All these years, she had been very lonely and isolated during her imprisonment in the Cult of the Savage Evil until she met Zheng-Fu. After that, everything began to change, whether it was the disappearing loneliness, the growing happiness, or even the trust and confidence that had all come in.

Zheng-Fu was the only one who gave her these things, and not only that, but he also made her heart warm and let her feel the word 'love.'

Bang! (The sound of a door opening)

Oh!

Xiao-Jiang suddenly opened the door and hurriedly entered to find that the two of them were hugging each other tightly, and it seemed that they would soon possess each other. So she said, "Sister's sorry. I don't know that you two are going to have intimate moments... Just tell me when it's done," With a red-faced smile, she prepared to turn around.

"Wait, wait, Sister Xiao-Jiang!!" But before Xiao-Jiang left, Zheng-Fu quickly released his hand from the girl's body. He got up and called for Xiao-Jiang to stop, then said, "What you saw was…"

Zheng-Fu was about to explain the situation that happened just now. But Qi-Fu-Er suddenly stood up after him and interrupted, "As you see, the two of us were in the middle of doing 'things,' but unfortunately, Sister just came in," said Qi-Fu-Er, with a mischievous smile at Zheng-Fu.

What!?

Zheng-Fu turned back to look at Qi-Fu-Er with his eyes widened, instantly shocked to hear what she said just now. He did not think she could accept what he did like that.

"Hehe." Xiao-Jiang saw Zhen-Fu's expression and covered her mouth with a slight laugh.

"Sigh…" Zheng-Fu let out a long sigh of exhaustion when he saw that the two girls seemed to get along so well. If he let them be together more, it would be difficult for him in the future. But suddenly, he realized that Xiao-Jiang seemed to be in a hurry the first time she opened the door, so he asked, "Is something wrong? Why do you come back so quickly? Or did you get what I'm looking for?"

"Ah… I was just teasing you and Qi-Er, and I almost forgot about this! Yes, I've got what you want. I had my people search for skill books related to those two instruments, and they found them, but…" Xiao-Jiang paused her words, hesitating as if to say it or not.

"But what?" Zheng-Fu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"But they're not battle skills, just the skills of playing both instruments. So I hesitate to tell you."

"That's good, Sister Xiao-Jiang. Even if they aren't battle skills, it doesn't mean that they can't be martial arts skills." Zheng-Fu said that with a sly grin.

Xiao-Jiang suddenly wondered what he meant, so she asked with a curious look, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

"That matter, even if I explain, you might not understand. Wait until I've accomplished all those things. I'll show them to you. Seeing the real thing will explain it better than just plain words without seeing the picture."

"Is that so...? Alright. Don't forget, I'll be watching."

"Yes, Sister Xiao-Jiang. Ah... By the way, where are the skill books for playing the two instruments you said?"

"They're sold at a grocery store around the corner near the entrance to the city. But don't worry, I'll order someone to buy it for you."

"Thank you so much. I'll pay you back once I know the cost."

"No, no need!!! Money is a small matter. Compared to what you did to this elder sister at that time, this amount of money is incomparable. You don't have to return it to me!" Xiao-Jiang immediately denied Zheng-Fu because she had not yet repaid him for the issue of her clan seal. And this time, she had fully helped him in return for him.

"But..."

"No buts!"

"Yes, alright!!!"

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Bang!!! (The sound of the door being opened)

Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and a young man staggered in. There were several wounds and dark green spots on his body. He knelt, clasped his hands, and said, "Re... report, sir, madam. Something bad has happened now. A group of Mu-Teng attacked our people and snatched the books that Madam ordered us to buy.

Urgh!!!" When he finished speaking, he spat out a huge mouthful of blood as he was hurt so badly.

"Hurry up and take this pill." Zheng-Fu quickly walked over to the young man and handed him one of his healing pills.

"Ah!!!" As for the young man, when he saw that Zheng-Fu had come in front of him without him seeing when he had come, he was slightly shocked before looking at the pill and asking, "What pill is this?" With a puzzled look on his face, he raised his head to look at Xiao-Jiang before the woman nodded at him. Then the young man took the pill from Zheng-Fu and swallowed it down his throat.

Gulp!

Aaah!!!

Suddenly, after the young man took the pills, the wounds all over his body quickly disappeared, and both the bruises and the pains disappeared as well. And not only that, but his energy level had also increased by one step.

When he realized that, he hurriedly said, "Thank you, Young Master, for helping me!" His face was filled with a smile that stretched almost to his ears as his energy level had raised one level.

"It's nothing compared to what you've done for us. The skill books you are entrusted to bring are what I needed. And they make you get hurt, so how I saved you is the right thing to do," Zheng-Fu said with a friendly smile towards the young man.

Then he became more serious and continued, "Who did you just mention as the one who attacked you?" Even though he knew just now after the young man said who had hurt them, Zheng-Fu still wanted to hear it one more time to be sure.

People from the Mu Clan?

"The bastard Mu-Teng again!!!? They intended to have endless revenge on us, right? Those previous times they secretly intervened in my convoy of goods, making them delayed, I already forgave them. But this time, they dared to hurt the people of my auction house. I definitely won't let them go...

Quickly tell me where they are!?" Xiao-Jiang was furious as soon as she heard that Mu-Teng was the one who attacked her people. This guy did a lot of things, but she let it go. Until this incident happened, causing her to become furious to the extreme.

"Calm down, Sister Xiao-Jiang. Don't worry, I'll handle this on my own." Zheng-Fu patted Xiao-Jiang's shoulder and calmed her down before turning to the young man and asking, "Where are they?"

As for the young man, when he heard the question, he immediately replied, "They are staying at the tavern on the corner of the street, three alleys from our auction house, sir."

"Um... Thank you very much. Now you can go and take a rest. The three of us will go there by ourselves. As for you, take these pills and give them to the others to eat to heal their wounds." When he finished speaking, Zheng-Fu handed a bottle to the young man.

"Yes, sir!!!"

"Alright, now let's go… Let's go get our stuff back!!!"

"Wait, wait, Brother Zheng-Fu! We'll go with just the three of us?" Xiao-Jiang immediately held back Zheng-Fu and asked, wondering if only the three of them were really going by themselves.

"Yes! Just the three of us is enough. A level like theirs can't do anything to us." Zheng-Fu turned around and replied with an evil smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. And it was not just his smile; even his face showed that he was going to do something evil.
