Eminent Monk Who Renounced the World

"Chen Feng."

Xu Fei hurried over excitedly.

The corner of Chen Feng's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at Xu Fei's bald head, he always wanted to laugh.

"I know you want to laugh. No need to hold it in."

Xu Fei spoke irritably when he saw his expression.

"Haha."

Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Didn't use Hair Growth Reagent?"

Hair Growth Reagent was an F-Class One-Star Gene Reagent. Though it had no combat use, it was extremely popular because it could give you a beautiful head of long hair within a day, which you could then cut however you liked.

"No."

Xu Fei's face darkened.

"He even went to the hospital."

Zhou Ling took over with a smile. "The doctor said his scalp had been struck by some unknown force and had become too hard. Hair simply couldn't grow out of it."

Chen Feng gave him a sympathetic look.

"Ugh, forget it. Bad luck."

Xu Fei waved his hand. "When you contacted me earlier, I was dealing with the guy who ripped off our Hearse... ah, pfft, the guy who ripped off our Flying Car, so I didn't see it. Then I got busy and forgot."

"It's fine."

Chen Feng smiled. "It's already been taken care of."

"That's good. Contact me anytime if you need something. If I don't get it, just leave a message."

Xu Fei was straightforward. "What are you doing in Green Mountain Forest today? Need help?"

"I'm meeting a friend."

Chen Feng shook his head. "It's nothing serious."

"A guy or a girl?"

Xu Fei asked nosily.

Chen Feng: "..."

"A girl?"

Xu Fei could tell from Chen Feng's reaction.

"Su Jin?"

Xu Fei guessed. "Damn, bro, don't tell me you're going to mess around with her?"

Chen Feng: "..."

"Wang Yao."

Chen Feng sighed.

"Hiss—"

Xu Fei sucked in a cold breath. "You can actually bring yourself to do it? She's one of the nation's flowers!"

"She's Wang Yue's older sister."

Chen Feng's face darkened as he shot him a fierce glare. "Can you stop being so sleazy?"

"Older sister?"

Xu Fei froze.

Only after a long while did he snap back to his senses and let out a howl. "So you actually found yourself a legal loli? How unfair can heaven be, letting you—"

"Whoosh!"

A familiar ball of flame appeared.

The terrifying, scorching heat made Xu Fei fall silent in fear, and he frantically backed away. Yet the flame still landed on his head without warning.

Boom!

A thunderous blast rang out.

"Mercy, heroine!"

Xu Fei screamed.

At that moment, a petite figure appeared at the entrance to the camp. It was Wang Yao. Her icy gaze swept over Xu Fei before finally settling on Chen Feng.

"Let's go."

Wang Yao said flatly.

"Alright."

Chen Feng patted Xu Fei on the shoulder. Looking at his newly changed hairstyle, he could only feel sympathy. Brother, it was time to fix that loose mouth of yours.

Just after they left.

Xu Fei tremblingly opened the Light Screen, aimed the image at himself, and stared blankly at the nine black dots that had just been burned into his scalp.

"Monk's Scars?"

"And there are fucking nine of them?"

"This daddy doesn't want to become a monk!"

Xu Fei let out a miserable shriek, while Zhou Ling nearly died laughing beside him. "Little Girl wants you to practice Shut Up Meditation, because your mouth is seriously too foul."

"Is there no law?!"

"This is a camp! Aren't people forbidden from fighting here?!"

Xu Fei looked resentfully at the camp's combat robots. "Are you just decorations?"

"Hello, sir."

The red indicator lights in the combat robot's eyes flashed as it honestly replied, "Based on our calculations: First, the attacker displayed no killing intent. Second, the attacker's energy was too terrifying; taking action may result in the destruction of the camp and the deaths of everyone present. Third, we have uploaded the surveillance footage to the Gene Guild. Should accountability be pursued or danger arise, Gene Guild higher-ups will be urgently dispatched. Is this required?"

What?

It might destroy the camp and kill everyone?

Xu Fei and the others were scared out of their wits, their hearts pounding wildly. Just who was Wang Yao?!

This was the Green Mountain Forest camp!

Gene Guild territory!

Even if it was only a small camp on the outermost edge, it was still Gene Guild territory! Wang Yao was so terrifying that even the combat robots didn't dare take action against her?

Who exactly was she?

Xu Fei suddenly felt that it was nothing short of a miracle that he was still alive.

"Looks like you really need to practice Shut Up Meditation."

Zhou Ling suddenly said.

Xu Fei fell silent.

"Is accountability required?"

The robot continued asking faithfully.

Accountability, my ass?!

Xu Fei waved his hand and left with his team. They had their own mission to carry out today, but after pondering for a moment, he still sent Chen Feng a message.

Meanwhile.

Chen Feng and Wang Yao had not been gone for long.

"Buzz—"

The Wristband vibrated.

Chen Feng glanced at it and was immediately rendered speechless. It was actually a message from Xu Fei: Apologize to Miss Wang Yao for me. For the next month, I'll practice Shut Up Meditation.

Chen Feng showed it to Wang Yao.

"Your friend is very smart, even if his mouth is a little foul."

Wang Yao said indifferently.

"Oh?"

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

"The strong have the dignity of the strong. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."

Wang Yao's expression was cold and detached.

"Oh."

Chen Feng answered calmly.

Though he knew Wang Yao was right, for some reason, seeing that eleven- or twelve-year-old face seriously saying something like that made him feel as though this little girl was unbearably adorable, even though he knew just how terrifying Wang Yao was!

I must be crazy.

Chen Feng secretly sighed. It seemed he still had trouble accepting some of this world's settings.

Just then.

"Chen Feng!"

A voice gritted out through clenched teeth. Wang Yue glared at him fiercely. This Chen Feng had not looked at him even once from beginning to end, as if he didn't exist at all!

This was too much!

"Are we almost there?"

Chen Feng looked into the distance.

"We're here."

Wang Yao led them deep into the forest. It was said that there was a magical spring there.

"Chen Feng!"

Wang Yue roared, "How dare you ignore me!"

Chen Feng gave him an indifferent glance. "I came this time to help your sister. Just be a good little burden and stop talking nonsense. I still haven't settled the matter of you sending people to ambush me during the college entrance exams. If it weren't for your sister, do you think you'd still be alive?"

"Shut up!"

Wang Yue's heart pounded wildly, and his face changed drastically.

"Ambush..."

Wang Yao suddenly spoke. "What happened?"

"Nothing."

Wang Yue swallowed hard. Damn it, why had he provoked Chen Feng for no reason?

"You didn't know?"

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised, but then shook his head. "Forget it. It's all in the past. I'm here to help you today, so let's not talk about that."

Wang Yao's bright eyes swept over Chen Feng and Wang Yue before she finally said, "Let's go."

Deep within Green Mountain Forest.

Chen Feng had already spotted the spring water flowing down ahead.

"This is Green Mountain Spring."

"It possesses a certain spirituality and is also a material used in many gene formulas. But that isn't our target this time. Our target is the end of Green Mountain Spring!"

Wang Yue spoke quietly, trying to make up for his earlier blunder.

"Oh."

Chen Feng gave a noncommittal response.

The sight of his expression made an inexplicable anger rise in Wang Yue's heart.

The three followed Green Mountain Spring upstream. By the time they reached the deeper parts, the surroundings had already been swallowed by mist, making it nearly impossible to see. An invisible Restriction stood in their way.
