Xiao Wu, You Want More?

"What do you think?" Ye Feng asked in return.

"I... I don't know." Xiao Chenyu stammered helplessly.

"If I had lost today, my Black Card would have been yours. Now that you've lost, do you think you can just walk away? Where could you find such a bargain?" Ye Feng mocked.

"What exactly do you want?" Xiao Chenyu asked.

"Simple. If you want to leave, you can. Hand over five hundred Gold Soul Coins," Ye Feng said.

"What? Five hundred Gold Soul Coins? You might as well rob me!" Xiao Chenyu cursed, finally unable to hold it in any longer. Though he was the son of a wealthy family, all the allowance money he had accumulated since childhood did not even amount to a hundred Gold Soul Coins. Yet Ye Feng had demanded five hundred the moment he opened his mouth.

"A minute ago, that was exactly what you were doing." Ye Feng's tone was calm and his gaze sharp, but his words cut deeply.

Ugh!

Xiao Chenyu's heart trembled, leaving him speechless. It was true. A minute ago, he had been trying to rob Ye Feng and claim Ye Feng's Black Card for himself.

"I... I don't have that much money." Xiao Chenyu lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Feng.

"That's easy enough. Just write an IOU, and state the reason for it," Ye Feng said with a smile.

At Ye Feng's request, Xiao Chenyu wrote an IOU. However, the creditor was not Ye Feng, but Xiao Wu. To avoid giving anyone something to gossip about, Ye Feng strongly insisted that Xiao Chenyu clearly state the reason. It was because he had tried to rob Ye Feng of his Black Card that he now had to write the IOU.

"Can I leave now?" Xiao Chenyu clasped his hands tightly behind his back. If he let this go just like that, then he would not be Xiao Chenyu.

"You can." Ye Feng nodded with a smile.

"We're leaving!"

"Wait!"

Just as Xiao Chenyu was about to leave with his lackeys, Ye Feng stopped them once again.

"What else do you want?" Xiao Chenyu asked in confusion.

"You can leave, but I never said they could," Ye Feng replied with a smile.

"Ah?"

"Don't tell me we have to write IOUs too?"

"We didn't even do anything. At most... at most, we just came along to support him and boost his morale."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, the six upperclassmen behind Xiao Chenyu stared at him in shock and began discussing among themselves.

"Yes, you're right. You only cheered him on. How about this? Other than the two students who already made a move, the six of you will each pay fifty Gold Soul Coins. The two who are unconscious will have to pay a hundred Gold Soul Coins. Wang Sheng, go wake them up with some water." As Ye Feng answered these upperclassmen who bullied the weak, he also instructed Wang Sheng on what to do.

"What? Fifty Gold Soul Coins?" One upperclassman looked at Ye Feng with a bitter expression.

"I'm already being very merciful. Compared to your Boss, I'm giving you a ninety-percent discount." Ye Feng smiled like a crafty merchant.

If Ye Feng had lost today, it would not have been Xiao Chenyu alone who profited. These upperclassmen would have gained something as well. This was precisely what the old saying meant: those who live by the sword will eventually have to pay the price.

These upperclassmen, who often bullied other students, had never imagined that one day they would be bullied so ruthlessly themselves.

"Then just beat me up instead." One upperclassman would rather die than submit.

"Are you sure?" Ye Feng smiled and continued, "Don't blame me for not warning you. Once I make a move, it won't be fifty Gold Soul Coins anymore. It'll be a hundred."

"You..."

The upperclassman who had angrily confronted Ye Feng was furious. He wanted to say something, but for a moment, he did not know what to say.

Under Ye Feng's oppressive might, Xiao Chenyu and all his lackeys obediently wrote IOUs.

After leaving, Sword Douluo Chen Xin found Ye Feng. Sword Saint Chen Xin told Ye Feng to prepare himself. After the opening ceremony tomorrow, Ye Feng would accompany him to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts.

That evening, Ye Feng went looking for Xiao Wu, only to find that she was not in the Seventh Dorm. By the time he found her, Xiao Wu and Tang San were already walking into the Seventh Dorm from outside.

"Xiao Wu, it's settled then. I'll go in first," Tang San said.

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded, then looked at Ye Feng. "Go on. What did you want from me?"

"Xiao Wu, I want to discuss something with you. I need to leave the academy tomorrow, so I need you to help me finish the Work-Study Student duties for the next few days. When I return, I'll take care of this semester's work. I'll still give you half the pay," Ye Feng replied.

"You're leaving the academy too?" Xiao Wu looked stunned.

Too?

Ye Feng froze. From Xiao Wu's wording, he already knew that Tang San must have spoken to her. Tang San would also be leaving Notting Academy tomorrow, heading to the Soul Hunting Forest with his teacher to hunt soul beasts.

This time, Tang San would obtain a hundred-year soul ring from a Mandala Snake.

"Yes. Is that okay?" Ye Feng asked.

"No. I already promised Tang San that I'd help him complete his work. And he also said that once he returns, he'll take care of all my work for this semester," Xiao Wu replied.

"Then how about this? Once I return, I'll take care of all your work next semester. Would that work?" Ye Feng changed his offer.

"Alright." Xiao Wu smiled and agreed without hesitation. There was no reason to turn down a free benefit.

"Fine, this is for you." Ye Feng reached out and took out the IOU Xiao Chenyu had written.

"You're giving it to me?" Xiao Wu's rabbit ears stood straight up as she stared at Ye Feng in surprise.

Xiao Wu had not spent long in human society, but she knew that without money, one could not get anywhere among humans. The money Ye Feng was giving her now amounted to five hundred Gold Soul Coins.

"Mm. Your name was already written as the creditor. It was yours to begin with." Ye Feng smiled.

"Then... I'll reluctantly accept it." Xiao Wu beamed as she happily took the IOU from Ye Feng's hand.

"Alright, it's late. Let's go back," Ye Feng said.

"But... I still want to fight you again." Xiao Wu spoke seriously.

"Fight again?" Ye Feng looked surprised.

Xiao Wu had just met Tang San. Could it be that she had not fought Tang San like she had in the original story?

"That's right. Is that okay?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Alright." Ye Feng nodded with a smile.

Xiao Wu stepped lightly, gradually approaching Ye Feng. In the end, she came so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

"What are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to spar?" Ye Feng asked.

Xiao Wu giggled and moved even closer. Her lips drew near Ye Feng's ear, and her warm breath brushed against his earlobe, making his heart stir. A strange sensation seeped into his mind.

"Here I come."

As Xiao Wu's voice fell, her long scorpion braid suddenly whipped out and wrapped around Ye Feng's neck.

Ye Feng tapped the ground with his toes and leapt into the air. When Xiao Wu flung him away, he landed gracefully, spun half a turn, and dissipated the remaining force.

In order to have a proper spar with Xiao Wu, Ye Feng did not use brute force to defeat her directly again. Instead, he used the Eye of Hell and leisurely toyed with Xiao Wu.
