Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Catching the Adulterer

"How terrifying must that entire lake be!?"

This was Jiang Feng’s first reaction.

Thinking of the endless Spiritual Energy Lake made his scalp tingle, and there was Liu Xianzi, holding a three-foot green blade, tearing straight through the sky and the Spiritual Energy Lake...

What realm were these two people in?

Divinity Transformation? Refining Void? Or Unification? Or perhaps even Mahayana?

"Young Master, may I now have my item returned? Without it, Su Yi is afraid she cannot go out today."

The beautiful woman just smiled playfully at the young man in front of her. Although this lad was young, his self-control was indeed good. If it were any other peer, let alone meeting her, even being glance seductively by Lu Luo would probably cause their legs to lose control and their souls to be enticed away.

This boy had been in the brothel for over a month yet was still just a novice.

She had observed; Jiang Feng would sit in the lobby every day listening to music, and the girls in her house liked to flirt with this young master for no particular reason, yet this youngster remained indifferent.

He had spent at least six or seven nights in Lu Luo’s room without being taken advantage of, and similarly, on the few nights he spent at her place, nothing happened; not even any minor advances.

She was confident that there was nothing physically wrong with him because she had secretly checked when he was soaked in the Body Tempering Liquid. He didn’t have any unusual preferences either, since she could notice him stealing glances at her. Every time she turned around, she would catch him awkwardly turning his head away.

The boldest thing was probably last night when he was sitting on her bed refining the Body Tempering Pill. Something went wrong, he covered his abdomen in pain, and unconsciously tore off a piece of cloth to bite on to prevent himself from making a sound.

And that’s how her belly wrap ended up in the hands of Jiang Feng.

"What item returning to its owner?"

Puzzled, but seeing the continuously fluttering large eyes of Su Yi, he seemed to understand something. He looked at the purple fabric he had stuffed back into the pillow, then at the dignified and beautiful mature woman next to him.

It couldn’t be.

She wasn’t wearing it...

"I’m sorry, it really wasn’t intentional."

He bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, swiftly kneeling to apologize.

He truly did not remember how he got hold of this thing, especially since Liu Xianzi and that serpent were in battle, a strike by the sword nearly tore through his underwear.

But as Jiang Feng imagined, Su Yi never got angry over such matters, however...

"Sigh."

She let out a mournful sigh.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and just looking at her vulnerable and delicate appearance was enough to tug at one’s heartstrings. She tightened her chest, delineating her curves, probably confirming his guess.

"If the young master really does not wish to return it to me, then I might just have to go out like this. The young master does have some peculiar tastes..."

Whoosh!

She swiftly pulled out the soft purple fabric from under the pillow, nearly kneeling on the floor to bow several times to this lady.

The corners of the woman’s mouth frantically curled upwards, harder to suppress than an AK.

But Su Yi elegantly took back the belly wrap, just about to continue teasing this naïve young master, her expression suddenly changed!

Before Jiang Feng could react, everything blurred before his eyes as Su Yi suddenly tore open her long dress and advanced towards the young man, scaring him into retreating repeatedly, but her delicate palm was now gripping like iron pliers!

He couldn’t move.

Her other hand swung towards the clothes rack, flipping a piece of clothing away easily, stuffing the belly wrap back into his palm; her long leg kicked him directly into the bed, and before Jiang Feng could say anything, Su Yi followed right in!

Then...

The door was pushed open.

"Ah!"

A squeal like that of a young girl emanated.

Her gaze immediately turned towards the doorway, and the person walking in from outside...

was the Lord County Magistrate.

"Oh, Lord County Magistrate, Lord County Magistrate!"

"Really, we at Ethereal Violet Pavilion always comply with the law, we never engage in such activities. If you can’t trust us, can’t you trust these regular customers? Many of them are your men; they wouldn’t lie to you."

"Please wait a moment, after all, this is a guest."

"Sigh, you see, Lu Luo didn’t lie to you, I...I also couldn’t say it initially, you know the Pavilion Master does not normally see guests."

"It really would..."

Another madam rushed over in panic, her steps swift, gasping heavily, clearly advising the County Magistrate from the doorstep but still unable to dissuade him.

She stepped forward to block the two, her face full of apologies.

"I’m really sorry, Pavilion Master, and really sorry, Young Master Jiang."

"Today, something happened in Qingshui County, these officials came to investigate, I... I really couldn’t stop them."

Turning around, her face wore a flattering smile.

"Lord County Magistrate, look, Young Master Jiang was in Ethereal Violet Pavilion last night all along, by the looks of it, probably just finished being intimate, even if you need to inquire about something, you should at least give him time to wash up."

Her face full of pleading, and Su Yi who was "frightened" also terrifiedly clutched her loose long dress, huddling into the young man’s arms, only recovering after a while.

In a panic, she snatched her bellyband from Jiang Feng’s hand, covering her chest and bowing.

"Met Lord County Magistrate, wasn’t aware of your visit today. Apologies for this indecent appearance, if it disrupted your elegance, please forgive me."

A flawless disguise.

Stupefied, looking at Su Yi’s face flushed with shyness, then at Jiang Feng’s bewildered face.

He was dumbstruck.

For a moment, County Magistrate Sun began to doubt his own judgment.

He had confirmed Xue Ming’s body in the morning and had rushed directly to Ethereal Violet Pavilion, asking everyone along the way if they had seen Jiang Feng last night, and everyone’s statements were consistent.

Jiang Feng did spend the night at Ethereal Violet Pavilion.

But when he asked who Jiang Feng spent the night with, not only the young girls were unable to answer, even the madams became evasive, believing it was in Lu Luo’s room, but when they found Lu Luo, Jiang Feng was not there.

At first, he thought he found a loophole, but unexpectedly...

"That young master."

"Uh~ Lord, that young master has some peculiar tastes, likes older ones, often goes to Su Yi mama for some fun."

"Probably still overturning the phoenix with Su Yi mama in her room right now, I even heard their room’s noises last night."

In the end.

That led to the current situation.

Suspiciously staring at the two lying on the bed, both disheveled and flushed, he tentatively touched the quilt.

It was warm, not just a pretense.

And with his experience, he could see the wrinkles on the bed and clothes scattered everywhere, probably did sleep through the night.

Clearing his throat.

Even he felt somewhat embarrassed facing this situation, thus sternly said.

"Sorry for the disturbance, but please get dressed promptly, I need to ask you some questions, Jiang Feng, you come out first."

"Me?"

Jiang Feng’s reaction was perhaps a bit slower than Su Yi, but only slightly.

Upon seeing County Magistrate Sun, he instantly realized that probably the previous night’s crime was exposed, otherwise, he wouldn’t be directly approached.

The way Su Yi handled it could only be described as textbook level, glancing at the table, because right under that piece of clothing was hidden a dagger and a Soul Summoning Bell.

If found, it might directly confirm the guilt, even though he was currently within the Qi Refinement stage, he couldn’t possibly confront local officials directly.

He obediently got off the bed, and just before leaving, Su Yi curled her long legs within the quilt, showing a content expression.

But as he followed County Magistrate Sun and stepped out of the room, he saw the beautiful woman giving a sly smile, mouthing something to him.

"How should the young master repay Su Yi?"

"How about..."

"Offering yourself in return?"
