Chapter 658 - 658: All the Farts Are Yours

The war between the little girl and Hua Ling ultimately failed to ignite.

This left the little girl quite unwilling to accept defeat; she was well aware of the significant gap in strength between herself and Hua Ling.

However, since Hua Ling couldn't use her hands, the little girl felt it was worth a try; she didn't believe she couldn't beat her.

Lin Zhiyan pulled her aside and advised, "Look, even if you can win..."

"What do you mean 'even if'? I totally can win," the little girl replied, displeased.

Lin Zhiyan sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, you can win, but then what? The other side can simply say they lost because they let you use both hands.

If, on the flip side, you lose, then you'll be thoroughly embarrassed. They'll definitely mock you, asking why even with both hands you couldn't win; either way, you lose."

"I get it, but I just can't help wanting to teach her a lesson," the little girl fumed. "Zhiyan, if you were to fight her when she's in good shape, who would win?"

Lin Zhiyan coughed awkwardly, unconfidently said, "About even, I guess."

Considering how even Xiao Feng almost had a slip, Lin Zhiyan was too shy to claim she'd definitely win.

Sure, she had her secret trump cards, but why wouldn't the other party?

The little girl clenched her fists determinedly, "Zhiyan, I've decided, from now on I'm going to work hard and train tirelessly until I make that girl beg for mercy on her knees."

Saying this, she strode towards the door.

As expected, she didn't make it far, pulling back after two steps and jesting, "Well... I'll wait until the stench dissipates before I devote myself to hard work."

"..." Lin Zhiyan.

Meanwhile, during their conversation, Xiao Feng finally understood what had happened in the courtyard, and how the persistent fart smell came to be.

At this point, Zhao Guo'an's expression was quite reserved, like a top student waiting to be praised by the teacher in class.

Objectively speaking, Zhao Guo'an's contribution to resolving this crisis couldn't be overlooked.

It's like in war, where victory is not just attributed to the leading general, but others' contributions can't be dismissed either.

Xiao Feng could read Zhao Guo'an's expression, but he certainly wouldn't let him be pleased; after being so outgoing before, Zhao still expected praise—it was too much to ask for.

"Old Zhao, I really didn't expect it, really didn't..."

Xiao Feng earnestly grasped Zhao Guo'an's hand, patting it with his free hand like a leader commending a subordinate for a job well done.

Zhao Guo'an chuckled, "Don't, please, don't say that. It's all part of my duty..."

Halfway through, Xiao Feng continued, "I truly did not expect you enjoy sniffing farts. Don't worry, while I can't vouch for anyone else, my farts are all yours in the future."

The tone was akin to saying, "Work hard and I'll promote you."

Zhao Guo'an's face immediately darkened, he withdrew his hand from Xiao Feng's grip and briskly got up to leave, feeling indescribably frustrated.

"A week's time is almost up," Hua Ling calmly reminded.

Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, "It's getting close, but it's not yet. If you're in a hurry, you can go back first. I'm not stopping you."

"No way!" Hua Ling stubbornly shook her head, "I'm injured and need protection. It'll only be two or three days; I'm going back to Jiangcheng with you all."

"Hey, my bad temper," the little girl rushed over furiously, "Are you planning to stick around and not leave?"

Hua Ling frowned, "I'm not sticking with you; why are you so worked up?"

"You can't stick with Xiao Feng!" the little girl slammed the table.

Hua Ling glanced at Xiao Feng, then turned to the little girl and chuckled, "Who told you I'm sticking with him? I'm sticking with my eighteen senior brothers; that has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Then go find your senior brothers," the little girl crossed her arms and sneered, "I bet none of them want to deal with you.

That's why you're shamelessly clinging to us, refusing to leave."

Hua Ling nodded, "Well, old aunty, you're quite correct."

"Let me warn you one last time..." the little girl closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "If you dare call me old aunty again, I'll throw the medicine in your face, believe it or not?"

"Fine, I won't call you that," Hua Ling shrugged, then smiled broadly, "Hello, little aunty."

"Ahhhhh!" the little girl screamed, "Xiao Feng, you'd better make her disappear in front of me. I'm putting down the law; today, it's either her or me. You choose."

Xiao Feng laughed, without hesitation, "Is there any need to say?"

"Say it!" the little girl insisted, nodding heavily.

"Alright then," Xiao Feng turned to Hua Ling, "Please disappear quickly."

The little girl instantly beamed, her eyebrows arching like crescent moons, running behind Xiao Feng and massaging his shoulders, giggling, "Xiao Feng, you have great taste!"

"Are you praising me or yourself?" Xiao Feng asked, amused but helpless.

"Oh, it's all the same!" the little girl coquettishly said.

Hua Ling glared fiercely at Xiao Feng, "You'll regret this one day."

She finished speaking, lowered her head, bit the straw in the bowl, and quickly drank the medicine clean.

Then she decisively got up and left.

Xiao Feng was a bit taken aback, feeling as if Hua Ling's actions accused him of being a heartless man before leaving with breakup money.

But it didn't matter; the relationship was already tense, and a bit more tension wasn't a big deal.

After a while, the little girl softly asked, "Xiao Feng, was I too wild just now?"

"Was it?" Xiao Feng turned his head, looking at the little girl with interest.

The little girl pondered, "Although her speech is infuriating, she's not great-looking, and her attire is too revealing, she nonetheless helped us.

Besides, since Hui Yi and the others are her senior brothers, and she's the head of the Demon Suppression Action Team, truly offending her seems not beneficial to us."

"She told you all this?" Xiao Feng was surprised.

He thought that Hua Ling would strictly keep her identity as the head of the Demon Suppression Action Team secret, but hearing the little girl say it casually, clearly that wasn't the case.

The little girl nodded, "Just forgot to mention, her head seems not entirely functional; we asked, and she explained everything."

"So, what do you mean?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Well..." the little girl said reluctantly, "Should I go apologize to her?"

Xiao Feng smiled and playfully flicked the little girl's nose, saying, "No need to apologize, just remember to think things through before speaking or acting next time."

"I knew it, Xiao Feng wouldn't make me feel wronged!" The little girl hugged Xiao Feng from behind, her face lit up with a happy smile.

But just then, with a "bang," the door was forcefully kicked open from the outside.
