Chapter 1216 - 1216: The Ultimate Golden Fertilizer Trio

Pei Dengke sending people to Jiangcheng to deliver gifts was something Xiao Feng had already anticipated last night.

So he made a call overnight, telling Qingyue and the others what they should say once someone came knocking.

And choosing to splash dirty water on himself to cover up the fact that he wasn't at home, Xiao Feng was clearly being forced to a certain point.

This was really a last resort. For someone who cares this much about face, if there were any better way, he definitely wouldn't go so far as to ruin his own reputation like this.

As for why Xiao Feng was hiding the fact that he wasn't in Jiangcheng, there were mainly two reasons.

First, to cleanly sever any connection between himself and Xiao Bajia, so no one would associate them with anything.

Second, to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Sure, Kyoto wasn't exactly far from Jiangcheng, but if something really urgent happened, Xiao Feng couldn't just sprout wings and fly back from Kyoto to fix things.

As for public opinion, in Xiao Feng's view, this was like having both fish and bear's paw laid out in front of him—wanting to have both was obviously just wishful thinking.

Of course, when all was said and done, it still boiled down to the fact that he really couldn't think of a better solution.

Since people would come looking, he had to give them some kind of explanation—one that sounded reasonable and could hold water.

So here came the problem…

Say he went on a trip?

No way anyone would believe that!

With Jiangcheng's current tense situation, if he still had the mood to go travel, how big a heart would he need to pull something like that?

Besides, even if, taking ten thousand steps back, Xiao Feng really did that, no one would actually believe it…

Say he just wasn't home for the moment, went out on some errand?

Then whoever came to the door would definitely follow up and ask when he'd roughly be back, or even rent a place nearby to stake out. That wasn't impossible either.

As for other excuses, they'd be even more bullshit—people would know they were fake as soon as they heard them.

So, since he couldn't think of a more perfect reason, Xiao Feng could only trash his own reputation and create the illusion for the outside world that he was in Jiangcheng and might show up at any time.

...

Right now, facing the little girl's sudden attack, Jiang Yixin couldn't help being a bit dumbfounded.

Wasn't everything she had just said what Xiao Feng had personally told them last night?

Plus, it's not like you weren't there!

However, the little girl wouldn't let up, snapping, "Today you have to make yourself clear. Otherwise don't blame me for beating you until you can't take care of yourself in daily life—then we'll see if you still dare smear my Brother Xiao Feng's name!"

Hearing that, Jiang Yixin couldn't help getting angry and said sharply, "Did I say anything that isn't true?

If you really have the ability, call Xiao Feng right now and tell him to come back. If you don't, then don't take your bad temper out on me."

"Quit blurring the focus and changing the subject. The point of our argument isn't even there, okay?" The little girl gave her a look like she'd seen right through everything and said coldly:

"I'll give you one minute. If you still can't produce any evidence, don't blame me for getting rough with you!"

"You!" Jiang Yixin was instantly fuming. She turned her back to the gate and started blinking hard, giving meaningful looks.

The little girl looked utterly disgusted. "Quit batting your eyes at me, I'm not interested in you. So gross!"

"Ha…" Jiang Yixin was stunned.

You call that batting your eyes?

Just then, Lu Yao walked between the two to smooth things over, saying, "Knock it off, both of you. We see each other all the time, day in and day out, you two…"

Before she could finish, she heard the little girl snort coldly. "Your minute is up. Sister Lu Yao, you don't need to say anything.

It's obvious she just thinks it's been too long since I whipped her and her skin's itching. I'll give her a good lashing and everything will be fine."

"You dare say I'm begging for a beating?" Jiang Yixin glared and shouted.

"Hmph!" The little girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, exuding a two-meter aura. "Isn't that exactly what's happening?"

"If I'm begging for a beating, then you're a busted motorcycle, begging for a kick!"

"Heh, and you're a busted tricycle, begging to be pedaled!"

"You—you're a sprouting potato, begging to be peeled!"

"Yaaahhhhhh, you're gonna be the death of me!" The little girl looked like she was about to go berserk. "Enough talk—let's settle this with our hands."

Jiang Yixin refused to back down. "Fine, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

In an instant, the two of them were rolling their shoulders and loosening their legs, already warming up for the fight.

They were stretching their arms and doing lunges, and in the way they looked at each other, it was like there was an invisible bolt of lightning between them.

At this point, even Lu Yao wasn't sure anymore whether these two sworn enemies, who hadn't quarreled for two days, were acting or really about to throw down.

Outside the gate, Fast Blade King was even more confused. Hell, he hadn't come all this way from Kyoto to watch some martial arts show.

"Ahem." Fast Blade King cleared his throat. "Um, could you maybe try contacting Boss Xiao first?"

But after a long moment, no one paid him any attention, as if he were invisible air.

A gust of wind blew past, lifting a dead leaf from the middle of the path into the air. It drifted up and down a few times, then wobbled out of sight.

Fast Blade King stood outside the gate staring blankly for ages, his strongest feeling being…utter bafflement.

He really didn't get what kind of hospitality this was supposed to be.

He'd come all the way from Kyoto. Even if the host wasn't home, they should at least invite him in for a cup of tea and offer some token reception, right?

But what he was seeing was: three devastatingly beautiful women in the yard, each with her own distinct charm—two were fighting, and one was in the middle trying to pull them apart—while he, the guest, was left standing outside in the cold. What the hell was this supposed to be!

Also, just from their stance alone, if you added the "Golden Fertilizer" trio's BGM, it would fit perfectly, zero sense of dissonance.

The true top-tier beauty version of the Golden Fertilizer trio!

Just as the situation in the yard was about to spiral out of control and Fast Blade King was about to call Wei Jianhua, a light cough sounded from inside the house.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was surprisingly effective.

Hearing that cough, the little girl and Jiang Yixin each withdrew their hands, simultaneously snorted, and turned their heads away from each other.

Outside the gate, Fast Blade King couldn't help freezing for a moment.

When he saw the woman gracefully emerging from the villa, his first reaction was astonishment—his gaze was glued to her.

And as she came closer, he felt a faint but palpable pressure wash over him.

This was the power of presence!

And someone who could possess such presence was naturally none other than the always-unseen Du Qingyue.

She stepped lightly over to the gate, smiled faintly, and said, "Sorry, my little sisters don't know any better. Please don't take it to heart."

With that, she reached out and slid the latch open, then opened the gate, turning her body slightly to the side and extending her right hand in an inviting gesture.

"Thank you!" Fast Blade King offered his thanks, grabbed the safe, and was just about to step through the gate.

But the moment he moved his foot, a crisp girlish shout rang out.

"Stop!"

The one who shouted, of course, was the little girl.

After yelling, she didn't care about anything else—she grabbed Du Qingyue and dragged her back into the yard, lowering her voice to warn, "Sister Qingyue, don't you go inviting the wolf into the house. Look at him carrying that safe—he obviously doesn't look like a good person.

If there's a bomb in there…"
