Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 355: Chapter 230: Why Is It My Fault Again?

"Um."

Carefully observing Jiang Feng’s expression.

"I don’t want to inform the Clan Leader either, but like most sect forces, Purple Cloud Palace would leave a strand of Divine Soul with the disciple to ensure their safety. Seeing that child having troubles, especially being of direct bloodline, naturally causes anxiety in my heart."

"So, they contacted me pretty straightforwardly, young master. I didn’t give you away though, just mentioned that you encountered a Nascent Soul stage golden-haired bear during an external mission and suffered severe injuries after the conflict."

"But the other person who came back with you..."

As expected.

It definitely wouldn’t be Yan Fengchun.

That kid may not be serious but he’s tight-lipped, he probably guessed that it was Wang Yong spreading the word, after all, despite the disaster they encountered on this trip, the fame and merit they claimed was real.

Although Wang Yong didn’t fight, he did contribute by bringing reinforcements, otherwise, everyone in the party would have perished, so it’s pretty normal for him to boast a bit too much.

"Young master, how about you get out of bed and hide for a few days once you are able to? Shall I cover for you?"

Betrayal on the spot.

This comment almost made Jiang Feng spit out the medicine in his mouth, he coughed a few times, and swallowed it forcefully, saying that sending daughters away is like pouring out water, yet you are already turning your elbow out even without being married?

Sneakily looking around, it seemed that every time people discussed conspiracies, they would subconsciously lower their voices for fear of being overheard.

Su Yi was indeed very loyal to Jiang Feng, always considering his well-being, the youth merely dispersed a smile.

"She ended up like this trying to save me, don’t worry, this time I will not retort or fight back, just hoping that the item Xin Yue brought can be useful to Sister Lu Luo, and not affect her future cultivation."

"Um."

Hearing this, Su Yi’s smile on her face brightened some more, indeed her judgment wasn’t wrong.

They are all women, none of whom would wish that the man whose life they risked saving turns out to be ungrateful. Although Lu Luo almost lost her life over this matter, a person who dares to take responsibility is always more appealing than one who likes to evade it.

If Jiang Feng had really run away or shirked his responsibilities as she suggested, let alone the members of the Fox Clan, even Liu Tangxi would probably think less of him.

Happily humming a tune, it actually made Jiang Feng somewhat puzzled, his face was full of worry just moments ago, how could it suddenly turn to joy?

"Which sentence of mine made her happy?"

Full of confusion.

But Su Yi just took away the empty medicine bowl, her small hand traced in the air, and a clear stream of water immediately condensed, also emitting steam continuously under the influence of Spiritual Energy.

It took just over ten seconds to heat the water, and this sight indeed brightened Jiang Feng’s day a bit. Sister Su Yi’s cultivation progress has been quite rapid lately, already reaching Middle Grade Core Formation when in Qingshui County, and had directly advanced to High Grade after returning to Purple Cloud Palace.

This mastery of micro-manipulation of Spiritual Energy and dual utilization of water and fire from the Five Elements was quite exquisite, casually taking out a towel to scrub it clean.

"Huff—"

The steaming hot towel was slapped on the face.

This immediately refreshed the somewhat listless Jiang Feng, relaxing his expression. How does that saying go?

Older people take better care of others.

Not only that, the beautiful woman knelt down and actively began unbuttoning the young man’s shirt, revealing his sharply defined muscles, a flicker of heartache and helplessness passing in her eyes due to the muscles beneath the skin writhing like centipedes.

Twitching, convulsing, tugging.

Just watching was enough to send shivers down one’s spine. Yesterday, when changing Jiang Feng’s clothes, abnormalities were discovered, giving a hint to the extent to which his body had been pushed on this trip, almost every part of his body was like this.

"Young master, since you are willing to meet Xin Yue, let me tell you about our Fox Clan."

"The target of your recent expedition also has intricate connections with our clan, and understanding more about Xin Yue might come in handy when you meet her,"

He looked somewhat surprised; he originally thought these were clan secrets, not expecting them to be so freely discussed. He actually wanted to ask, but he felt too embarrassed to do so.

Su Yi truly belongs to the Fox Clan, though her upbringing and the overall large clan environment aren’t closely connected. Although there is contact, she has met the new Clan Leader only a few times and naturally doesn’t feel much belonging.

The relationship between them is more like having wealthy distant relatives mentioned often by elders at home but never really seen; however, it’s different for Lu Luo, who often visited in the past and thus was certainly closer.

In any case, once something real happens, she would definitely stand by the side of those she is closer to, so Jiang Feng nodded without hesitation, but his mouth was too bitter to speak.

So, Su Yi poured some hot tea, serving the young master with tea while sharing the past of the Fox Clan.

"It’s said that hundreds of years ago, the Fox Clan had a stunningly talented ancestor who shone like a bright moon, guiding the Fox Clan forward, a beauty of celestial fragrance, captivating the nation and the city, but her terrifying strength was even more formidable than her beauty."

"In just a few decades, this ancestor managed to unify the fragmented Fox Clan through various methods, seizing their Demon Emperor’s position and replacing it with what is now the four major families of the Fox Clan."

"Later, this ancestor met someone she admired, said to be a powerful human with heavenly skills. With his support, the Fox Clan’s status in the Demon Domain soared exponentially, and one of the Demon Lords even specifically demarcated territories for the Fox Clans."
