"Hmph!
Barging in and knocking on my door out of nowhere—clearly a scam.
As if I’d fall for sothing so obvious."
Yi Feng, with a touch of pride, returned to his room and sat back down.
Ti to count his money.
anwhile, i Xian'er stood frozen outside, taking a long mont to process what had just happened.
Her delicate fists clenched, her expression twisting into one of barely contained fury.
"You little brat, you’ve got so nerve!"
"I refuse to believe I can’t handle you," she muttered through gritted teeth before knocking again.
"Sir, though we’ve never t, I find myself in desperate straits and must trouble you for help."
"My na is Ye Qing'er of Thousand Leaves Island. I’ve been poisoned, and if you could spare your aid, my island would repay you tenfold—any condition you na, we shall fulfill."
i Xian'er’s voice, urgent yet laced with a seductive undertone, word its way into Yi Feng’s ears.
It unsettled him so much that he kept miscounting his coins.
"Could she actually be in trouble?"
Yi Feng pinched his nose, lost in thought.
If that were the case, turning her away and letting her die would be downright heartless.
As soone raised with the noble traditions of his holand, leaving others to perish wasn’t in his nature.
Maybe he should hear her out.
With that in mind, Yi Feng stashed his money away and went to open the door.
The mont the door creaked open, i Xian'er’s eyes flickered with a fleeting triumph.
"What’s going on with you?"
Yi Feng blocked the doorway, arms crossed, refusing her entry.
"Sir, it’s like this—while training near the Teleportation Island, I was poisoned by an unknown assailant."
"The toxin is flaring up now, and I have no choice but to seek soone to help purge it. I truly have no other option."
i Xian'er spun her tale with practiced ease.
Her brows furrowed, eyes glistening with unshed tears, her delicate fra trembling ever so slightly—a picture of vulnerability designed to tug at the heartstrings.
"That’s rough, but I don’t know the first thing about detoxing!" Yi Feng frowned.
"If I’ve co to you, then you must be the one who can save ," i Xian'er insisted, her voice trembling.
"? How?"
Yi Feng was baffled. "Since when do I have that skill?"
"Then what poison is it, exactly?" he pressed.
At this, the alluring woman before him lowered her head, cheeks flushing crimson, her words stumbling into silence.
"It’s… a love gu."
"A vicious toxin that forces to find a man and… dual cultivate with him within a set ti to expel it."
"You, sir, are not only a man but also exceptional in bearing and appearance—exactly the kind of partner I’ve always dread of. So… so…"
i Xian'er feigned shyness, her voice dropping to a whisper.
"I beg you to dual cultivate with and cleanse this poison."
"If afterward, you find agreeable, I would gladly beco yours."
"But if I’m not to your liking, I won’t demand responsibility. Still, I’d repay your kindness with riches or treasures—anything you desire, I’ll provide."
Her pleading gaze locked onto Yi Feng, wide and pitiful like a wronged kitten.
Her body swayed weakly, subtly leaning closer.
Inwardly, however, she was smug.
There was no way he could resist this.
Sure enough, her body inched closer until it brushed against his.
A smirk tugged at her lips.
But just as victory seed assured—
"Get lost!"
A sharp shout cut through the air, followed by a kick square to her chest.
Caught off guard, i Xian'er went flying backward.
THUD!
The door slamd shut behind her.
Inside, Yi Feng grumbled under his breath.
At first, he’d actually believed her sob story. But the more she spoke, the more absurd it beca.
Beautiful, wealthy, offering herself and paynt?
No strings attached?
This was no different from those "wealthy heiress seeks heir" scams plastered on telephone poles in his past life.
He’d never forget his naive teenage self, dialing that number only to lose his entire month’s allowance.
As a modern man well-versed in anti-fraud tactics, there was no way he’d fall for such a cheap trick.
Absolutely no way.
Still, he hadn’t gone overboard. Without actual losses, a scamr didn’t deserve death.
A solid kick as a lesson was punishnt enough.
