Chapter 718 - 718: Testing the Law on Oneself

Just as the little girl was about to lose her temper, she suddenly heard someone say, "I do have an idea."

"Let's hear it," Xiao Feng said expectantly.

What he was eager to confirm now was whether there was another way to get out of the mud apart from using Thunder Pattern Steel.

If not, then this thing could be really useful.

At the very least, it's much safer than tying a rope or something, without worrying about the person being caught running away.

With everyone's eyes on her, Jiang Yixin pondered and said, "Her hand can't be pulled out, which means the mud inside the barrel should be solid.

But just now, Qingyue tried it with her hand, and at least the top layer was not solidified.

Why don't we help flip the barrel over and see if we can pour the mud out of it?"

Xiao Feng was thoughtful. He hadn't considered this before, mainly because the situation was different.

Hui Yi and Hui Er were stuck in the mud, while the little girl was currently stuck in a barrel.

"I think it's worth a try." Xiao Feng nodded in agreement.

"Hey!"

The little girl shouted unhappily, "If we follow Sister Jiang's method, won't I be covered in mud?"

"I'm just trying to help you get your hand out sooner." Jiang Yixin spread her hands innocently.

The little girl frowned, "Oh, just save it. I know you can't stand to see me doing well and want to use the opportunity to tease me."

"You've got me all wrong. Even if we're not the best of friends, I wouldn't kick someone when they're down." Jiang Yixin declared righteously.

Then, her eyes lit up as she said, "If you don't like that plan, I have a Plan B."

"What's Plan B?" Xiao Feng asked.

Jiang Yixin chuckled, "Plan B is simpler than Plan A. We get a chainsaw and directly amputate. At least she wouldn't have to squat there all day."

The little girl gritted her teeth in anger, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious. I guess I've been too soft on you.

Just wait, when I free my hand, you'll know the meaning of regret!"

"Really?" Jiang Yixin shook her head regretfully, "What a shame. Both your hands are tied right now.

I'm thinking, maybe I should strike first and give you a good lesson before you can retaliate?"

Just then, Xiao Feng suddenly spoke, "Stop dawdling. Think of a plan together. Anyone who can get her hand out of the mud, I'll reward them separately."

"How much is the reward?" the Martial Monks said in unison, their greed totally revealed.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and said, "It won't be less than a hundred thousand."

Upon hearing this, the Martial Monks all got excited.

But their joy lasted less than two seconds before Xiao Feng added, "But, you can't use Thunder Pattern Steel."

"What is Thunder Pattern Steel?" Du Qingyue, Lu Yao, Jiang Yixin, and the little girl all asked in confusion.

Xiao Feng took out the Thunder Pattern Steel and briefly explained it to the four girls.

Jiang Yixin skeptically said, "Is it really as impressive as you say?"

She pressed her index finger on the Thunder Pattern Steel and pushed down, appearing to "prove it with her body."

"Don't move!" Xiao Feng quickly reminded.

But it was too late; Jiang Yixin's finger had already slid on the Thunder Pattern Steel.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yixin's whole body started twitching, as if she had been really shocked.

This process lasted for about three seconds, and then Jiang Yixin fell straight backward, luckily caught by Du Qingyue's quick reflexes, otherwise, she'd likely end up with a concussion.

Now, Jiang Yixin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot,

and her hair turned into an explosive mess, as if she'd been struck by lightning.

"Hahaha!" The little girl burst into laughter, "Didn't expect karma to come so quickly!"

Xiao Feng felt awkward and told Du Qingyue, "Take her inside to rest."

Du Qingyue nodded and helped Jiang Yixin inside.

Lu Yao stepped forward to help, but was called back by the little girl who said, "Sister Lu Yao, quick... help me rub my belly, it hurts from laughing so much, ouch!"

If Jiang Yixin could talk now, she would probably tell the little girl: This is karma for laughing at me.

There was no choice. Lu Yao had to rub the little girl's belly before going inside to help check the situation.

Watching Lu Yao's retreating back, the little girl called out, "Sister Lu Yao, don't forget to take a few photos for me.

If Sister Jiang dares to mess with me, hmm!

I'll print out tens of thousands of copies and hire some drones to spread them all over the streets of Jiangcheng."

"..."

Everyone present looked at the little girl squatting there with her hands stuck in the barrel, feeling a bit speechless.

You're still stuck in the barrel, and you're already plotting how to retaliate against others?

"What's up with you all?" the little girl asked cluelessly, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Xiao Feng replied lightly, "Nothing, just admiring how pretty you are. Can't help but take a good look, and the more you look, the harder it is to look away."

"Oh!"

The little girl's face instantly turned red, and she shyly said, "Brother Xiao Feng, can you not speak so bluntly in front of everyone?"

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but admire the little girl.

Most others would have been panicking in her situation, but just look at her.

She not only had time to plot against others but also to boast about herself.

When it comes to mindset, few could match her!

"Brother Xiao Feng, quickly help me get my hand out, my legs are going numb from squatting." the little girl casually said.

From her tone, it seemed she was confident Xiao Feng had a way to get her out.

Xiao Feng squatted down to meet the little girl's gaze and smiled, "How can you be sure I have a way?"

"Isn't it obvious?" the little girl said matter-of-factly, "If you didn't have a way to get my hand out, you wouldn't have let me put it in in the first place."

"..." Xiao Feng.

This statement was indeed hard to refute.

But Xiao Feng didn't like this feeling and, seeing the little girl so relaxed, shook his head and said, "This time you guessed wrong. I really don't have a good plan."

The little girl, of course, didn't believe him, rolling her eyes as she suddenly put on a worried expression and urged, "Brother Xiao Feng, hurry up. I really need to go to the bathroom, like desperately."

"Haha, I don't believe you." Xiao Feng replied, unmoved.

The little girl furrowed her brows, her small fists trapped in the mud slowly clenched, and then she suddenly stood up straight, managing to lift the entire barrel along with her!

"Never mind, if you're not going to help, I'll just go around like this everywhere from now on. Don't say I didn't warn you if I embarrass you!"

With that, she gritted her teeth and persisted as she walked towards the house.

Xiao Feng was dumbfounded, was this even possible?

The others couldn't help but laugh, whispering among themselves, soon reaching a consensus.

That is, if anyone can render Xiao Feng speechless, it's none other than the little girl.
