Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 362: Chapter 234: Are You Here to Pick Up Girls on Our Mountain?

"Heh, they say that once we reached Shuipang County, one could simply gaze out and see a mass of sinister dark clouds floating over the county, truly terrifying."

"Upon discreet inquiries, I discovered that the people were all discussing a high monk, who lured all the pregnant women to the county government, deceiving them to go up the mountain."

"Mr. Jiang and Senior Sister Su, both skilled and courageous, disguised themselves as a couple with a conspicuous pregnant belly to investigate, but little did they expect, they had barely taken three steps out when an unexpected change occurred!"

"Suddenly, Senior Sister Su’s face changed, and she sat down on the ground, clutching her belly and sobbing her heart out!"

"Crying and creating a scene, she asked Mr. Jiang, in case of a difficult birth, whether to save the child or the mother! She even threatened suicide by death! If we hadn’t seen with our own eyes how she stuffed that pillow under her skirt, I’m afraid everyone would have been fooled!"

"And Mr. Jiang was even more nonchalant, facing the pointing of a thousand fingers without flinching, steady as a mountain, just releasing his grasp, his hands suddenly pointing at Senior Sister Su on the ground!"

"You wretched woman! Speak! Whose bastard seed is in your belly? The timing doesn’t match up from when I favored you that day to your current pregnancy. You surely have committed adultery with the coachman at home; I have long suspected you two of having an affair!"

"Speak, is it true or not!"

"In a flash, the whole city was shocked; men and women, young and old, even children who could barely walk, all turned their eyes to the pair."

"Yet Mr. Jiang remained motionless, his eyes furious and wide, standing at the moral high ground, commanding respect, remarkably dashing!"

His words were forceful and resounding.

Had he had a token in his hand at this moment, smashing it against the table, he would truly possess the aura of a storyteller.

Bai Yu sat demurely on the chair, legs together, hands placed on top of her thighs, her behavior and manners very ladylike. Although her family background was ordinary and she had experienced great calamities, her composure and wisdom were indeed very endearing.

Her eyes widened, and upon hearing Yan Fengchun’s words, her mouth twitched and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Bai Yu’s laughter was hearty and attractive, immediately raising her sleeve to cover her lips, but from those narrowed, laughing eyes...

She was almost laughing herself to death.

It might sound rather abstract, and even a bit cognitive dissonance inducing, but in her impression, Jiang Feng and Lu Luo were just such peculiar characters. They would squabble over anything on a day-to-day basis, words flowing out without hesitation.

But whenever something happened, or they needed to take things seriously, both of them would become incredibly reliable, and up to now, they have never made a mistake.

Seeing Bai Yu’s reaction, Yan Fengchun shook his head and continued on with the tales of their adventures, he simply couldn’t help it as the impression was too profound.

Especially Lu Luo, with a big belly causing a scene and then Jiang Feng gritting his teeth and shouting "Whose child is in your belly after all," that scene had shattered his poor understanding of the world.

It simply didn’t seem like an act; this was Yan Fengchun’s highest accolade to these two human emperors.

After discussing amusing incidents, there were also the insights he gained along the way, including the various Buddhist magic treasures, techniques, combat details, spells, and divine skills, etc.

"That demon monk Jin Shan was actually a disciple picked up by masters like Guang Xian, Guang Neng, and Guang Pu from the Vajra Temple."

"Although his realm was ordinary, his methods were truly ruthless, having stealthily stolen countless magic treasures from Vajra Temple, leading our group into a bitter battle."

"With the Buddhist bell in his left hand and the Demon Tower in his right, underfoot was a square Grotto Heaven, his evil aura enveloping the skies. It is said to be the land of the Grotto Heaven that once Saint Monk Guang Xian used to refine demons, leaving one in awe."

"That utterly heartless demon monk fused infants into one, forcefully breaking through to the next realm, and with a wave of his hands summoned the Eight Great Vajra Protectors, hacking and slashing, even using the Ten Light Formation to trap us in it, refining us alive."

"In the nick of time, I held the Vajra Umbrella wide open in front of them, providing protection..."

That’s what men are like, always wanting to show off in front of a girl they fancy.

Had Bai Yu shown any impatience, he, being adept at reading faces and moods, would have immediately changed the topic. But Bai Yu was instead looking at him with widened eyes, intently listening to his recounting of their journey, undoubtedly reinvigorating Yan Fengchun’s spirits.

For Bai Yu, a woman of such temperament, what intrigued her most were all sorts of skilled fighters, magic treasures, and the martial arts - realms she had never explored herself. Just hearing others talk about them made her heart itch uncontrollably.

She almost wished she could grab a sword and personally take on that demon monk, and her excitement only amplified when she heard about arrays and the Eight Great Vajra Statues.

Gurgle—

The wheels rolled over the gravel on the ground.

One foot stepped on the pedal behind the wheelchair, the other on the ground, and with a push, the wheelchair slid forward for a dozen meters.

Repeating this action was like a child playing with a scooter, looping around Swordmaster Peak. She tiptoed to peek into the distance and saw the two chatting merrily. The pile of gifts they had brought was directly taken to the storehouse by Su Yi, leaving plenty of space for the two.

"Didn’t he say he was coming to find me? Seems like this kid is just using a pretext for something else."

She muttered to herself, tone full of disdain.

Ah, such brotherhood.

But Jiang Feng wasn’t tactless; he wouldn’t ruin the lovers’ moment, consciously steering his foot-propelled wheelchair away from the path.

Ever since returning from Shuipang County, this kid had been much more attentive toward Bai Yu, often finding excuses to wander up the mountain and even intentionally pretending to be busy so that Yan Fengchun would replace him to spar with Bai Yu.

Well, it seems to be working quite well so far, not to mention anything else.

He really has a thick skin.

"Looks like Young Master Yan is having a good time, using our near-death beating as a way to flirt."

"True to his princely upbringing—a wastrel indeed; can’t do anything else, but leading women astray is his forte. His grandfather married four wives, and that big grandson of his has kept no fewer than ten concubines.

"Maybe next time I’ll swing by Prince Yan’s Mansion with a big belly? Heh heh."

The wheelchair nearly crashed into a tree.

It seems some things never change. Even having become this way, Lu Luo was still full of mischief, especially thrilled at the thought of these sneaky undertakings.

"You really should accumulate some virtue. After all, he is the Young Prince. What if the old prince sees you tarnishing his grandson’s reputation and decides to slap you dead? What then?"

"No worries, I’ll just wear the token the Peak Master gifted me around my neck. Hmph, even if they had twenty times the courage, they wouldn’t dare touch me!"

"You really are..."

"Taking advantage of someone’s power?"

Her voice was still a bit hoarse, but filled with smug satisfaction. Her pretty face and body were wrapped in bandages, but judging by her tone, taking her out for a spin today was the right decision—it swept away her bad mood from the past few days.

The wheelchair kept gliding and, before they knew it, they had entered the courtyard. It was only then that the two of them realized that the previously empty pavilion now had two women sitting and two standing.

The standing ones were naturally Lin Jiangxian and Su Yi, while the seated individuals were Liu Tangxi and...

"What!?"

Heart startled upon seeing Jiang Feng pushing Lu Luo into the pavilion, Xin Yue merely smiled lightly.

"Young noble, we meet again."
