"Only 5%!?"
Qin Feng was clearly dissatisfied with the mission's progress, but it was also obvious that Fang Chang wasn't as calm as he appeared.
At that moment—
The black-clad man floating in the air remained expressionless as he said coolly, "Princess Nanfeng of Great Xia versus Qin Feng of the Moon God Palace. Qin Feng wins. The competition will continue."
But after seeing Qin Feng and Fang Chang fight, the audience found the other matches utterly dull.
They weren't even on the same level!
"The competition will continue!?"
The Students of Heaven's Son from Great Xia exchanged glances, hesitating over whether to keep competing.
They had entered for one simple reason: to defeat Qin Feng and wash away the shame of the noble clans' Heavenly Prides. But who could have expected Qin Feng, at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, to be so terrifying?
Qin Feng's strength wasn't the problem. As noble clan Heavenly Prides, they were no mere pretenders, either.
It was Qin Feng's shamelessness, which knew no bounds, that made them tremble with fear. They were terrified of ending up keeping Zhu Tou and Wang Peng company.
After some discussion, all the Students of Heaven's Son from Great Xia withdrew from the competition. It didn't matter whether they could restore their friends' reputations; what mattered was that they didn't lose face themselves.
"Boo!"
A wave of jeers rang out from the crowd, who looked down on the Students of Heaven's Son.
"Let's go!"
Princess Nanfeng was so furious she nearly got her period. She hated Qin Feng to the bone.
She had hoped to use the Death Elimination Tournament to boost her influence and take out a few of the noble clans' Heavenly Prides along the way. Instead, Qin Feng had not only stolen her first kiss but also driven a wedge between her and Fang Chang.
She'd lost both the lady and the soldiers!
"Your Highness, leaving already!?"
Qin Feng wore a wicked smile and even licked his lips.
Right in front of Princess Nanfeng, he pulled out the pink belly band and wiped his mouth with it.
"Holy crap, what a fucking scumbag!"
The audience couldn't bear to watch anymore. They wanted nothing more than to march up and slap Qin Feng across the face.
"Qin Feng!"
Princess Nanfeng forced down her anger and left, swearing she would make him pay.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations, host. You have driven a wedge between the two. Mission progress: 10%!"
Qin Feng's expression flickered with surprise. He hadn't expected one-sided animosity to count as a rift between them.
Unlike the girls who followed the Three Obediences and Four Virtues that he'd known in his previous life, the girls here had learned the same rules—but they just didn't throw punches.
"Hmph!"
Zi Yuan huffed angrily and carried Xiao Bai back to the Moon God Palace.
"Is the Divine Maiden jealous!?"
The crowd exchanged glances. It was obvious that Zi Yuan was angry.
According to what they'd heard, Qin Feng had joined the Moon God Palace because of Zi Yuan. They'd grown up together as childhood sweethearts, so it didn't seem strange that the Divine Maiden had fallen for him.
"These young people nowadays..."
Compared with Qin Feng's terrifying talent, people were more interested in his gossip.
He had the Divine Maiden Zi Yuan, his childhood sweetheart, and had kissed Princess Nanfeng of Great Xia in front of everyone. Who knew who he'd be linked to next? They were sure Qin Feng wasn't the sort of man who could stand being lonely.
At that moment—
The black-clad man in the sky felt a terrible headache coming on.
Because of Qin Feng, Fang Chang had stormed off, Zi Yuan had left in a huff, and the Students of Heaven's Son from Great Xia had been so frightened that they'd all withdrawn. The round of sixteen in the selection tournament had become a joke.
"Looks like we'll have to start over!"
The black-clad man pondered for a while, then reserved a spot for Fang Chang.
He had a feeling that Qin Feng and Fang Chang's fight wasn't over yet. The shame of having one's wife insulted would surely be settled between them, and the Death Elimination Tournament seemed like the perfect place.
As for Zi Yuan, there was no need for her to compete. If anything happened to her, it would be hard to answer to the Moon God.
On a dark, windy night, it was time to tease another man's wife.
Qin Feng was like a bull that had been starving for seven years before finally encountering the Son of Heaven—he had to suckle to his heart's content.
"This is the foreign envoys' guesthouse, right?"
Following an expert's directions, Qin Feng arrived at the place where the Great Xia delegation was staying. He circulated his Spiritual Energy, leaped over the several-meter-high wall with ease, and drifted through the guesthouse like an immortal.
"Why are we up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? What are we doing here?"
Xiao Bai sat on his shoulder and yawned. It couldn't help pulling out its little notebook and writing down: On such-and-such a date, Qin Feng disturbed My Rabbit's sleep. He owes My Rabbit three carrots in compensation.
"Obviously, we're here to make money!"
Qin Feng curiously looked around and discovered that Princess Nanfeng's courtyard was rather quiet and secluded.
"Make money!?"
Xiao Bai perked up at once, declaring that it knew this line of work well.
Before Qin Feng could say anything, it vanished into the night with a whoosh.
"White Rice Bucket, where are you going!?" Qin Feng hurried after it.
Before long—
Xiao Bai reached a brightly lit pavilion. Princess Nanfeng had opened the window and was resting her chin on her hand, gazing at the moon as clouds passed over it now and then. Her face was full of melancholy.
"A-a rabbit!?"
Princess Nanfeng was startled by the sudden appearance. But once she got a proper look, she immediately fell for the fluffy little cutie.
Xiao Bai blinked its big eyes and said innocently, "Miss, are you lonely? Do you need a man?"
"Lonely? Need a man!?"
Princess Nanfeng was stunned by the blunt question, and Fang Chang's figure involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Could this little thing have been sent by Fang Chang!?
The more Princess Nanfeng thought about it, the more certain she became. Fang Chang was a mysterious man who was always coming up with things she'd never seen before. Sending a talking rabbit to convey his affection seemed perfectly normal.
Blushing, Princess Nanfeng nodded. "Mm, I'm lonely. I need a man!"
"Where there's a need, there's a market. This is My Rabbit's line of business!"
Xiao Bai took out a golden abacus and began working the beads as it spoke. "To be honest, My Rabbit has been waiting seven years for our boss to take this job. He's a total jerk, but he insists on pretending to be some innocent, virtuous man."
"Mm!"
Princess Nanfeng couldn't help nodding.
Though she didn't quite understand what the rabbit was saying, she really had known Fang Chang for seven years. If he hadn't spent all those years playing coy, she wouldn't have let that scumbag Qin Feng steal her first kiss.
Xiao Bai continued, "Now he's so broke he can't even afford to feed a rabbit, and he's finally come to his senses. You've come around, too. You're a match made in heaven. As for the quality of service, don't worry. He says he's very poor—that's the literal meaning. As for how to split up the words, My Rabbit hasn't figured it out yet. Anyway, I won't say more. As the rabbit in the middle, I charge you ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones."
Princess Nanfeng stared at it in utter bewilderment.
The little rabbit just kept chattering away, tapping at the abacus with its tiny paws before holding out a paw and asking her for ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones.
"What's the matter? You think it's too expensive!?"
Xiao Bai waved its little paw helplessly and produced an exquisite jade bottle.
As a rabbit Qin Feng had raised himself, surely it made sense for Xiao Bai to carry a bottle of Boar Bliss Pills!
"These'll double the pleasure. Now you can pay, right?"
Xiao Bai pushed the exquisite jade bottle toward Princess Nanfeng, urging her to hand over the ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones so it could send Qin Feng over to earn money and feed the rabbit.
"Huh? Oh..."
Princess Nanfeng was still completely bewildered. In a daze, she handed over ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones.
But after paying, she curiously opened the little jade bottle and sniffed it. A strange warmth spread through her from head to toe...
