Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Professionalism Goes Out the Window When the Robes Come Off
Lin Feng and his women lingered by the sea far longer than they had intended.
Laughter echoed along the shoreline as they swam through the clear waters, their figures weaving gracefully beneath the waves.
From time to time, splashes erupted as playful chases broke out, the atmosphere light and unrestrained.
Soon, a small fire was lit on the shore, and the scent of freshly grilled fish filled the air.
The women gathered around him, chatting and smiling as they enjoyed the meal together.
It was only when the sky began to darken, painted in hues of crimson and gold, that they finally decided to return.
With a wave of her hand, Yun Wanqing summoned a flying boat from her storage ring.
The elegant vessel rose into the air, carrying them smoothly across the vast sky.
Below them, the land stretched endlessly, while above, the first stars of the night began to flicker into existence.
By the time they reached Clear Moon City, dusk had settled in completely.
Lin Feng led the group back toward his courtyard, his expression calm and unreadable.
The lively mood from earlier had yet to fully fade, but as they approached the familiar gates, Lin Feng’s expression grew slightly more serious.
His steps slowed, his gaze sharpening as he finally turned his attention to something unusual that had caught his notice earlier that day.
He stopped. Just outside his courtyard, a figure was kneeling among many others.
The women behind him also noticed and gradually fell silent.
It was a mortal woman.
Her body was thin to the point of being gaunt, her clothes worn and tattered.
Dirt clung to her skin, and her frail frame trembled ever so slightly, as if even the act of kneeling demanded all the strength she had left.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she had not eaten properly in days and perhaps even longer.
She was already standing at death’s door. And yet, despite her condition, her posture had not changed.
She knelt firmly before the gates, her knees pressed into the hard ground.
Her upper body leaned forward, and her forehead touched the dirt in a posture of complete submission.
Her eyes were closed, and her breathing was so faint that it was almost imperceptible, as though a single strong gust of wind could snuff out her life.
But she did not move.
It was as if she had been frozen in that position for hours… or even days.
Lin Feng’s gaze deepened slightly. Without a word, he extended his divine sense.
In an instant, her thoughts were laid bare before him.
There were no complicated schemes, no hidden intentions and only a single, desperate plea repeating endlessly in her mind, like a broken chant that refused to stop.
“Master Lin Feng… please help me…”
Again.
And again.
And again.
The words echoed without pause, engraved into her very soul.
Even as her consciousness wavered on the edge of collapse, even as her body neared its limits, that single thought persisted with unwavering determination.
It was the only thing keeping her alive. Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed ever so slightly.
He already knew why she was here.
“Huo Mian,” Lin Feng called, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
“Your slave is here, Master Lin Feng,” Huo Mian responded without the slightest delay.
She straightened her posture instinctively, her tone respectful and eager, as if afraid of missing even the smallest opportunity to please him.
Lin Feng’s gaze shifted toward the trembling woman still kneeling at his gates.
“Go with this woman and help her take her revenge,” he said indifferently. “But remember this well… do not kill anyone. Death is too easy a release. I have a far better place for people like them than sending them to the domain of death. Just bring the guilty men here,” Lin Feng said calmly, a faint, unreadable smile forming on his lips.
“I’ll take care of the rest.”
Huo Mian’s eyes flickered with understanding. She did not question his words, nor did she dare to.
Instead, she bowed her head deeper.
“Understood, Master.”
Lin Feng continued, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
“After you finish handling her matter, you will serve as Ling Lan’s guard. From this day forward, you are responsible for her safety. Once she completes her daily affairs in her restaurant, accompany her here without fail.”
“Yes, Master. Your will shall be carried out exactly,” Huo Mian replied firmly, her voice filled with determination.
Only then did Lin Feng step forward.
His figure cast a shadow over the frail woman, who still knelt with her head lowered, not daring to look up.
Slowly, he bent down and placed his hand on her shoulder.
At that moment, a gentle yet overwhelming force flowed from his palm into her body.
The woman’s eyes widened in shock.
Warmth surged through her limbs like a rising tide, spreading from her shoulder to every corner of her body.
The weakness that had once weighed her down began to fade rapidly.
Her pale, sickly complexion flushed with life, and her frail figure gradually filled out as if time itself was reversing.
Her dry lips regained color. Her dull, lifeless eyes brightened.
Even the aches buried deep within her bones vanished without a trace.
Within just a few breaths, the dying woman was completely transformed.
She was no longer the pitiful figure on the verge of collapse.
Instead, she looked like a person reborn, her body brimming with vitality, her skin smooth and radiant with a healthy glow.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she felt the miraculous change. She could scarcely believe it.
“I… I…” Her voice trembled as she instinctively touched her own face and arms, as if confirming that this was not a dream.
The woman immediately lowered her head to the ground, her entire body trembling not from weakness this time, but from overwhelming gratitude and awe.
“Thank you, benefactor! Thank you, benefactor!”
Huo Mian stepped forward, glancing at the woman with a faint, knowing look.
She then turned to the woman and gestured for her to rise.
“Come. Tell me everything on the way. From today onward, your enemies… will have no place left to hide.”
With that, Huo Mian led the woman away, leaving Lin Feng standing quietly at the courtyard gates, as if everything that had just occurred was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.
