"Mu Chi Ningyun, I believe what you said. But if I just sleep with you like this, isn't that very unfair to you?" Chen Feng asked tentatively.
"If you were ugly, it would indeed be very unfair to me. However, you are handsome, so it's fair for me to give you my body," Mu Chi Ningyun replied blushingly and happily.
"Even so, one shouldn't sleep with someone so easily." Chen Feng still refused.
"Why? Am I not pretty enough?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked dejectedly.
"Mu Chi Ningyun, please don't think that way. That's not what I mean. You are very beautiful. The problem is, I am an official in politics. To mingle in the political arena, I have no intention of getting married. If you sleep with me but cannot get married, it is truly unfair to you," Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"It's fine. You can't marry me. Coincidentally, I can't marry you either. We, the Xie Gu Miao tribe, have a strict rule: we cannot marry outsiders. So, we won't hinder each other," Mu Chi Ningyun said with a smile.
"Then what are you after?" Chen Feng asked, feeling dizzy.
"Deputy County Governor Chen, you are not a woman, so it's normal you don't understand women's thoughts. Especially Miao women's thoughts, it's even more normal. In fact, Miao women of the Xie Gu tribe have similar ideas to Westerners; they don't have those traditional views." With Mu Chi Ningyun's explanation, Chen Feng had nothing more to say. For a Han person to integrate well into the Xie Gu Miao tribe, one could only go with the flow, not against it.
Thus, the two had a passionate encounter in the thatched hut. After the passionate encounter, Chen Feng had a profound realization. Miao girls were very different from Han girls, especially regarding sexual relations; Miao girls were more open. He had previously not understood the Miao customs of wife-swapping or walking marriages. Today, after the encounter with Mu Chi Ningyun, Chen Feng deeply understood that Miao girls were bolder than Han girls in matters of love and sex.
"Mu Chi Ningyun, now that the red dots on your wrist are gone, can you pretend your boyfriend is surveying around your tribe?" Chen Feng asked directly after putting on his clothes.
"Of course, I can," Mu Chi Ningyun replied blushingly and excitedly.
Chen Feng didn't hesitate. He immediately took Mu Chi Ningyun to explore the Xie Gu Miao tribe. The exploration revealed something surprising. Not only were there small coal mines around the Xie Gu Miao tribe, but there were also rare earth mines. With these two types of mineral resources, it would be difficult for Jiu Miao County not to develop. Therefore, Chen Feng decided to return to the Jiu Miao County office immediately to discuss the mining of the small coal mine and rare earth mine. When mining machinery starts, gold flows like water.
Unexpectedly, just as Chen Feng was preparing to leave the Xie Gu Miao tribe, he suddenly felt weak all over. Not only did he feel weak, but more importantly, he began to vomit black, sour, and foul-smelling liquid.
"Miss Mu Chi Ningyun, what... what's going on?" Chen Feng intentionally asked Mu Chi Ningyun. In reality, Chen Feng already knew. His current condition could only mean one thing: he had been afflicted by a Xie Gu.
"You've been afflicted by a Xie Gu," Mu Chi Ningyun replied, looking astonished.
"I've been afflicted by a Xie Gu? What's going on? I've only been with you these past few days..." Chen Feng continued to ask Mu Chi Ningyun intentionally.
"I don't know why, but you don't need to worry. I can cure the Xie Gu in you," Mu Chi Ningyun immediately advised Chen Feng.
"You can cure it?" Chen Feng asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I can cure it. Deputy County Governor Chen, since things have come to this, I won't hide anything anymore. In fact, I am the daughter of the tribal chief. I can cure all the Xie Gus of the Xie Gu Miao tribe," Mu Chi Ningyun said earnestly.
"That's great. Um... may I ask, how do you plan to cure it?" The rock in Chen Feng's heart finally lifted.
"It's simple. Sleeping with me will take care of it," Mu Chi Ningyun replied, her face turning red.
"What? This severe Xie Gu in me can be cured just by sleeping with you?" Chen Feng asked incredulously.
"Sleeping with other Miao women won't have this effect, of course. I am the daughter of the tribal chief and have a special constitution, so naturally, I can," Mu Chi Ningyun explained. Chen Feng immediately understood. This was like the "Myriad Poison Body" in novels – a special identity, a special constitution.
Thus, Chen Feng didn't hesitate and immediately slept with Mu Chi Ningyun. This sleep lasted for another three hours. It had to be said that Miao girls were much more capable in this regard than Han girls.
"Chen Feng, the Xie Gu in your body has been cured," Mu Chi Ningyun said excitedly while putting on her clothes.
"Yes, after sleeping with you, I feel much better," Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"In that case, you can go back to the Jiu Miao County office to discuss matters related to the small coal mine and rare earth mine," Mu Chi Ningyun asked opportunely.
"It's not time to go back yet," Chen Feng replied earnestly.
"What? It's not time to go back yet? Deputy County Governor Chen, are you perhaps reluctant to leave me?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked tentatively.
"That is only one of the reasons," Chen Feng replied with a smile.
"Are there other reasons?"
"Yes. Mu Chi Ningyun, here's what I think: if you didn't put the Gu on me, then someone else must have. I must find out who afflicted me with the Xie Gu and why. If these two questions aren't resolved, the projects related to the small coal mine and rare earth mine cannot proceed. You see, if my safety is at risk, how can the projects I'm responsible for be carried out?" Chen Feng explained earnestly.
"After your explanation, it indeed makes sense. To be honest, this matter is very strange. They knew you were my boyfriend and still tried to afflict you with Xie Gu. If someone said there was no ulterior motive, no one would believe it. By the way, Deputy County Governor Chen, how do you plan to figure out the ulterior motive?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked tentatively.
"That's simple. You just need to go back, and your father will naturally tell you about it," Chen Feng said calmly.
"What? My dad knows about this? That's unlikely, isn't it?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked, astonished.
"Your father is the leader of the Xie Gu Miao tribe. For such a major event as afflicting your boyfriend with Xie Gu, he couldn't possibly not know," Chen Feng explained earnestly. Mu Chi Ningyun, upon hearing this, deeply agreed and immediately went back to find her father.
"Dad, tell me honestly, do you know that someone afflicted Chen Feng with Xie Gu?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked directly.
"I sent people to afflict Chen Feng with Xie Gu, so of course, I know! Originally, everything was proceeding according to plan. Who knew that you would actually help Chen Feng cure the Gu?" the tribal chief replied dejectedly.
"Dad, why would you do this? Chen Feng is a good official who is doing good deeds for the people of Jiu Miao County," Mu Chi Ningyun asked, not understanding.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the interests involved, I truly wouldn't want to kill Chen Feng. However, there are huge interests involved, and I have no choice but to kill him," the tribal chief explained earnestly.
"The Xie Gu Miao tribe has always been an extremely poor region. What kind of huge interests would require killing someone?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked, confused.
