Sensing the sudden sneak attack from Mubei, Lin Feng rolled his eyes. He waved his hand, easily blocking Mubei's flying kick.
"It's me, you brat, trying to rebel!"
Only then did Mubei recognize the pervert in front of him as Lin Feng. He exclaimed, "Boss, you, you're like this?"
"Too windy, and my clothes blew away. Is that unreasonable?"
Mubei looked embarrassed, "Reasonable, reasonable. It's just that... it's not very appropriate, is it?"
"Nothing's inappropriate. Take off your clothes for me, and figure out the rest yourself."
Lin Feng, in his current state, couldn't let Hua Yu see him, or she would surely think he was a pervert.
What could Mubei do? He could only obediently take off his clothes for Lin Feng.
However, when he took off his last pair of underwear, Mubei hesitated.
"Forget the underwear. Don't say your boss isn't considerate. I'll leave you a pair of underwear for self-defense."
Lin Feng changed into Mubei's clothes and then swaggered back into the courtyard of the small building.
After cultivating for the entire night, Lin Feng finished his training the next morning.
He went to the bathroom and expelled over a dozen spiritual energy stones.
This time, Lin Feng was smarter. He didn't dare to leave the spiritual stones where Hua Yu could see them. He specifically found a combination lock box to store the stones.
As for Hua Yu, she started tending to the plants after waking up.
The woman had bought quite a few flowerpots and transplanted all the flowers in the courtyard into them.
Then, from who knows where, she borrowed a tricycle and loaded the flowerpots onto it before heading out.
"What's this girl up to?"
Lin Feng didn't quite understand Hua Yu's actions.
He quietly followed Hua Yu, wanting to see what this woman was trying to do.
To Lin Feng's surprise, Hua Yu painstakingly pushed the tricycle to a nearby flower, bird, and fish market.
In full view of everyone, the dignified eldest daughter of the Hua family was forced by life to start selling flowers.
Five yuan per pot of flowers.
Hua Yu sold them with great enthusiasm. Because she was so beautiful, buyers flocked to her.
In just over ten minutes, Hua Yu sold all a dozen pots of flowers, earning less than a hundred yuan.
She happily pocketed the money and pushed the tricycle, buying a lot of cheap vegetables.
This whole operation was very much like a thrifty rural housewife.
Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. If this scene got out, the whole of Kyoto would probably be stunned.
However, Lin Feng soon noticed something was wrong.
Hua Yu went to a dessert shop. The shop owner had shifty eyes and looked like trouble.
Most importantly, the owner exuded a sinister aura. While giving Hua Yu her change, he slyly slipped her a five-yuan bill smeared with poison.
Hua Yu had no idea the money was poisoned. After she left, the owner immediately took off his hat and mask, a smug smile playing on his lips.
This scene was all witnessed by Lin Feng, who was hiding and observing.
Lin Feng returned to the small building ahead of Hua Yu.
Seeing Hua Yu soon return pushing the tricycle, Lin Feng immediately stepped forward and held out his hand, demanding, "Give me the money. I know you went out to sell flowers!"
Hua Yu's expression changed, "This, this money is what I earned myself, and the flowers are what I cultivated. Why should I give the money to you?"
Lin Feng couldn't explain the truth, fearing he would scare Hua Yu. He said coldly, "Because you owe me money. Now that you've made money, you have to pay me back. Hand it over!"
Hua Yu hadn't expected Lin Feng to ask for his money back. Although she was reluctant, paying back debts was only right.
Helpless, she reluctantly took out the money she had earned and handed it to Lin Feng.
"Here's fifty first. I'll keep the rest for food."
Hua Yu gave Lin Feng a fifty-yuan bill.
"No, return fifty-five. I want this five-yuan bill."
Lin Feng stared intently at the five-yuan bill in Hua Yu's hand. He could feel that it was covered in potent poison.
"Are you that short of five yuan?"
Hua Yu was speechless. This man was so stingy, even over five yuan. Was he truly miserly, or was he deliberately tormenting her?
"Fine, here, take it all!"
Hua Yu unhappily gave the five-yuan bill to Lin Feng and huffily went back inside to rest.
"Wait, consider this medicine an extra gift from me. Take it now."
Lin Feng handed Hua Yu the antidote pill.
Otherwise, Hua Yu would soon succumb to the poison.
"Why would I take medicine for no reason? Keep it for yourself!"
Hua Yu, already displeased with Lin Feng, said coldly and turned to leave.
Back in her room, she stomped her feet in anger.
She had worked hard for the entire morning to earn less than a hundred yuan, and Lin Feng had taken more than half of it.
Was Lin Feng really that short of tens of yuan?
The more Hua Yu thought about it, the angrier she became. She took out her ledger and started calculating.
She planned to repay Lin Feng as soon as possible so that he wouldn't keep irritating her!
Just as Hua Yu was calculating, an uninvited guest arrived at the courtyard entrance.
"You've finally decided to show yourself? Tell me, what's your intention in poisoning the banknotes?"
Lin Feng stood in the courtyard, fiddling with the five-yuan bill, and smiled at the newcomer.
Seeing his plan foiled, the man didn't panic. He took off his baseball cap, revealing his sinister face.
"I know you. Aren't you Lin Feng, who defeated Chen Man?"
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Poison Wolf. I specialize in poisons. Now that you've taken my money, you've already been poisoned by the substance on the bill."
"This poison is called 'Thousand Step Fall.' If you walk five hundred steps, you'll get dizzy. If you walk a thousand steps, you'll die from the poison!"
Poison Wolf sneered. He had originally intended to incapacitate Hua Yu with poison and then kidnap her back to the Hua family to claim a hefty reward.
Now that his plan was seen through by Lin Feng, he decided to deal with Lin Feng as well.
"What kind of bullsh*t 'Thousand Step Fall' is that? If I remember correctly, you're ranked thirty-first on the Earthly Rankings!"
Lin Feng stared at Poison Wolf and asked.
Poison Wolf smiled, "That's right, but by killing you, I'll move up one spot."
"Kid, if you don't want to die, then obediently kneel on the ground and call me Grandpa. Otherwise, today will be your death anniversary!"
Poison Wolf was very confident in his poisonous arts. Although his martial prowess wasn't as high as many on the Earthly Rankings, his poison skills struck fear into countless people.
Even Chen Man would retreat when he saw him.
This scene was witnessed by Hua Yu from the balcony on the second floor.
She recognized Poison Wolf as the dessert shop owner and finally understood why Lin Feng had suddenly asked her to repay the money.
It turned out Lin Feng had known the money was poisoned all along, and she had misunderstood him.
It's over! If that's the case, does that mean she's been poisoned?
Hua Yu's face instantly turned grave, and she immediately began calculating how many steps she had taken since then.
If her calculations were correct, she had taken at least over four hundred steps by now.
This meant that if she continued to move, she would soon become dizzy, and if she reached a thousand steps, she would die from the poison.
Realizing this, Hua Yu was so terrified that she dared not move.
