After Zhang Feng released Mu Xue'Er, he turned around and ran.
Mu Qianqian, who had just been scolded by her own daughter, hadn't even reacted yet, and Zhang Feng's figure had already disappeared.
When Mu Qianqian came to her senses, her first reaction was to say, somewhat wistfully:
"Couldn't you give me a kiss before leaving?"
The answer was obviously no!
She angrily pulled Mu Xue'Er over and said fiercely:
"Xue'Er, how can you side with him like that? Whose side are you on anyway?"
Listening to Mu Qianqian, Mu Xue'Er innocently looked at her mother and said confusedly:
"But that's Xue'Er's dad. How can it be siding with someone else?"
"You...."
Listening to Mu Xue'Er, Mu Qianqian was instantly speechless.
This scene made Yuan Yuanyuan, who was standing nearby, laugh heartily and couldn't help but say:
"Look at you, you're not even as good as your daughter!"
"Yuanyuan, what are you saying?! And you're laughing?!"
Mu Qianqian immediately lunged at Yuan Yuanyuan, playfully grappling with her.
While tussling, she complained:
"Do you know how hard it's been for me on the way here? My feet are cramping!"
"Just letting him get away like that, I'm not satisfied!"
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Mu Qianqian, somewhat helplessly, and said:
"It's not about whether you're satisfied or not. Couldn't you just hold on until you got upstairs?"
"Look, now he's scared off. You don't have a chance, do you?"
"Plus, I drove back from that godforsaken place for over two hours and you didn't succeed. Maybe... go back and watch some instructional videos?"
"Hmph!"
Mu Qianqian crossed her arms:
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not involved!"
"Next time, you do it!"
"W-w-what?"
"Pfft!" Yuan Yuanyuan's face turned bright red upon hearing Mu Qianqian's words, and she murmured while glaring at Mu Qianqian:
"What nonsense are you talking, that's your husband!"
But to everyone's surprise, Mu Qianqian leaned closer, giving Yuan Yuanyuan a playful, mischievous look and said:
"Oh really...my husband?"
"I just have to ask, do you like my husband?"
"You!" Yuan Yuanyuan's neck seemed to turn red:
"What nonsense are you spouting, talking so recklessly, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Saying that, Yuan Yuanyuan also turned and ran!
Mu Qianqian watched Yuan Yuanyuan's retreating figure with a sly grin.
Only Mu Xue'Er, not understanding, looked back and forth and couldn't help but ask:
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Adult matters, kids shouldn't pry."
Not just kids.
Even Zhang Feng himself didn't want to know.
He was currently in some strange space, moving at high speed.
His face was filled with odd expressions.
His mind continually griped:
"What on earth is going on here?"
Indeed.
Since last night, things have been getting increasingly out of hand.
First, Lin Rui sneaked into his bed at midnight, trying to nibble him.
Then, they were nearly caught by Lin Rui's mother.
Before it was over, Ma Xiaotong suddenly appeared and dragged Lin Rui away.
And if that wasn't enough, Ma Xiaotong came back, claiming to help Lin Rui finish some work.
Wow, that was explosive enough already.
In the morning, Lin Rui's mother prepared a pot of nourishing yet dreadful chicken soup, and drinking it was a relentless temptation.
Later, he encountered Qin Huan, who seemed possessed by something.
After barely escaping Qin Huan's grasp, he was once again under Mu Qianqian's control.
It really was....
So uncomfortable!
However, fortunately, it was finally over now.
The medicine from that morning's soup, while now reaching its peak effect.
But fortunately, Zhang Feng was on his own and could suppress it.
Within a few breaths.
The weird scene around him gradually came to a halt.
And when ordinary eyes could clearly see, Zhang Feng found himself back in the room arranged for him in Lin Rui's mother's house!
This startled Ma Xiaotong, who was chatting with Lin Rui and her mother in the living room.
She turned her head slightly to glance at Zhang Feng's room.
Of course, others might not sense Zhang Feng, but Ma Xiaotong could perceive it clearly.
However, she couldn't control her expression; otherwise, she'd undoubtedly show a peculiar look.
There you have it.
Why appear suddenly in the room instead of knocking from outside? How should I explain this to aunty later, with Lin Sister around?
But through Ma Xiaotong's senses, it seemed that Zhang Feng wasn't planning to come out anytime soon.
So, Ma Xiaotong continued to act oblivious, chatting with Lin Rui and her mother.
Zhang Feng, after returning, indeed had no plans to go out.
Because Lin Rui and Ma Xiaotong were both pretty girls with whom he had past entanglements.
And he was now striving to suppress the aftereffects from Qin Huan, Mu Qianqian, and the morning's soup.
So, he needed to avoid them for a while.
It would be best to find something else to distract him!
Like that thermos!
Zhang Feng's palm flickered with a faint golden light.
A purple clay teapot and a jade cabbage were steadily placed on the desk in the room by Zhang Feng.
Then, he opened the thermos on the desk.
A light "whoosh" sounded, and the room's temperature dropped slightly.
Though invisible to ordinary eyes, Zhang Feng could clearly see the ghostly figure in mid-air.
The ghostly figure slowly opened its eyes, impatiently saying:
"Isn't it daytime? What do you want by letting me out now...."
Its words abruptly halted.
Then, the spirit lunged at the desk, exclaiming as it approached:
"Is this my husband's and my Cultivation Origin?! You retrieved it?!"
Just as Zhang Feng was about to say something to the agitated ghost.
The ghost suddenly shrieked with a sharp voice:
"What's going on?!"
"Why is it empty?! You absorbed all the cultivation inside?!"
Hearing this, Zhang Feng was stunned.
Afterward, a sense of unease rose in his heart.
He then slowly responded: "What I got is exactly what you're seeing."
"Besides, I didn't find it in the box; I got it from Gao Xiao."
"What?!" The ghost's voice grew even sharper, almost to a scream, though luckily its tone didn't match human hearing so Lin Rui and her mother didn't hear it.
But Ma Xiaotong, her eyes misty, once again looked toward Zhang Feng's room door.
"How did that disgusting bastard get my stuff...." The ghost's voice continued:
"He absorbed me and my husband's Cultivation Origin? That....could make him the most powerful person in the world!"
After hearing this, Zhang Feng, a bit dismissively, puckered his lips and said:
"His Dantian was already destroyed by me. Can he still cultivate?"
The ghost immediately turned to Zhang Feng, shrieking:
"A Dantian is useless! It's because our Dantians couldn't withstand Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that we sought Cultivation Origin; this Cultivation Origin is our true Dantian!!"
