Fiancé

"Fiancé?" The middle-aged man froze, and couldn't help turning his gaze onto the young man who had looked somewhat strange from the start, with his eerie head of pale-blue long hair and delicate features.

Feeling the warmth coming from his arm, the softness that brushed lightly against him, and smelling that refreshing, heart-steeping fragrance, Liu Feng's mouth instantly fell open, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

This girl actually said he was her fiancé! The moment he thought of those three words, Liu Feng immediately felt his little heart start pounding wildly again of its own accord, and a strange sensation surged through his entire body in an instant.

Fortunately, Liu Feng had never been the type to go idiotically lovestruck. After that instant of pride and self-respect passed, he immediately gave a bitter smile.

Looking at the killing intent already rising in the middle-aged man's eyes, even if Liu Feng were an idiot, he would understand what Elena was planning now.

What bullshit fiancé! It was only that this girl felt she couldn't beat these people herself, so before dying she had to drag someone down with her, and he, Liu Feng, had very unfortunately become the best candidate for that cushion.

This girl must be taking revenge on me over that triangular-eyed bastard! Liu Feng thought, filled with incomparable grief and indignation.

This little girl wasn't just good-looking, she had no shortage of schemes either! You want to use me as your burial cushion? No way! Liu Feng kept sneering inwardly and was about to pull his arm free.

But when he saw Elena's somewhat bashful, pretty face, and the pitiful, helpless look rising in those beautiful eyes, Liu Feng's heart couldn't help softening. The strength in his arm vanished in an instant, and for a moment, he actually failed to pull away.

By now, the middle-aged man had already brought that group of mercenaries around in front of Liu Feng.

"Your Excellency is this young lady's fiancé?" A trace of savage severity flickered in the middle-aged man's eyes as he asked in a deep voice.

Liu Feng couldn't help sighing faintly. Murder, robbery, **—he couldn't really call any of them unfamiliar. Even if he hadn't done them, he had often heard about them. But being forced into becoming someone else's fiancé was strange; this was truly the first time he had ever encountered it. Thinking of this, Liu Feng gave a bitter smile and was about to shake his head.

But before Liu Feng could move, a faint pain came from his arm. Liu Feng turned his head, and immediately saw Elena's clear, incomparably beautiful eyes, carrying a pleading look.

Liu Feng's body couldn't help trembling, and a trace of daze appeared in his eyes in an instant. In that split second, Liu Feng actually discovered that the beautiful pair of eyes before him seemed to carry an extremely familiar feeling. As if bewitched by ghosts and gods, he stopped himself from shaking his head, and instead nodded.

"Oh? Then what do you want to do?" The middle-aged man looked deeply at Liu Feng and asked in a low voice.

Although, relying on experience, the middle-aged man had already sensed that the relationship between this man and woman before him seemed somewhat odd, he truly did not want to get entangled here for too long and waste time, so he couldn't be bothered to think too much and asked directly.

How the hell would I know what to do! Liu Feng couldn't help letting out a powerless groan in his heart. But matters had already reached this point. Though Liu Feng disliked trouble, he could only grit his teeth and hold on. He smiled mildly and said softly, "Then do as she said!" As he spoke, he chuckled and patted Elena's fragrant shoulder.

Feeling Liu Feng's movement, Elena's body stiffened, and a trace of anger flashed through her eyes. But at this moment, she couldn't flare up, and could only reveal a smile that looked very sweet.

Elena's change naturally couldn't escape Liu Feng's eyes. Seeing that this girl looked like she was about to get angry, he finally felt a trace of pleasure. The gloomy feeling from being tricked by Elena just now eased quite a bit, and he smiled even more cheerfully.

The middle-aged man did not notice the two people's thoughts and subtle changes, and assumed this was simply the state of intimacy between them. His face couldn't help darkening. "It seems the two of you insist on sticking a hand into this matter? May I ask how Your Excellency should be addressed?"

Although Nicholas's status in the Palister Family was not high, ever since Liu Feng had arrived at the manor, his conditions had improved quite a bit. The clothing on his body was completely different from before, and had become proper noble attire. So the middle-aged man did not dare be careless either. After all, there were many people in this world that mercenaries like them could not afford to provoke.

Liu Feng smiled faintly, but hesitated a little, unsure whether he should say his name. If he did not say it, then if something unexpected happened in a while, he would have much less trouble in the future. But if he did say it, perhaps he could rely on the Palister Family's reputation to intimidate these people and save himself a lot of unnecessary trouble. However, Liu Feng also did not want to use the name of this already-declined family to help himself do anything.

"Fuck! What the hell do you think you are? Our Vice Captain is asking you a question, and you're still hemming and hawing. Are you looking to die?" Just as Liu Feng was about to make up his mind not to reveal his name, a rough voice suddenly rang out.

And as that voice rang out, a tall figure suddenly flashed from behind the middle-aged man. Then a fist, carrying a fierce sound of tearing wind, smashed viciously toward Liu Feng's face. It was precisely that warrior whose voice was as big as his build.

This tall warrior truly had a fiery enough temper. He attacked the moment he said he would, without the slightest warning beforehand. However, when he passed by the middle-aged man, Liu Feng clearly saw the slight hesitation in the middle-aged man's expression.

Obviously, although the tall warrior moved quickly, the middle-aged man, who was very familiar with him, absolutely would have had time to stop him. He simply had not done so. It seemed this middle-aged man also wanted to test Liu Feng's weight.

The fist was extremely fast, arriving in front of Liu Feng in an instant. The violent fist wind stirred so fiercely that Liu Feng's pale-blue long hair began to flutter.

Amid Elena's cry of alarm, Liu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed through them in an instant. Yet the mild smile still hung on his face. His body darted lightly, his arm slipped out from Elena's crook, and then, without dodging at all, he sent a punch to meet the tall warrior's fist, which was as large as a clay pot.

Bang!

At the instant the two fists made contact, the crystal core inside Liu Feng's body suddenly flared with light. Then that attribute soul power surged out from his fist in an instant.

Over these past few days, although Liu Feng's Fusion realm seemed to have reached a bottleneck and could not break through into the fourth realm, Soul Formation, his control over soul power had become several degrees more familiar.

His manipulation now was already extremely skillful. Only in the split second when the two fists were just about to touch did the soul power surge out. From the outside, there was no sign at all that he had used soul power, because in that instant, this attribute soul power had already followed the tall warrior's fist into the interior of his body.

Seeing Liu Feng's obviously somewhat thin and weak body actually dare to go head-to-head with this lower-grade fourth-level warrior, who relied on incomparable strength, a trace of disdain appeared on the middle-aged man's face. As for Elena at the side, although she had already seen Liu Feng's strength last time, she still couldn't help covering her tempting little mouth and crying out in alarm.

But reality was exactly the opposite of what they imagined.

The tall warrior's body suddenly shook violently. Then a muffled groan came from him, and a plume of white smoke actually rose from all over his body. After that, he flew backward with a miserable grunt.

This lower-grade fourth-level warrior had actually been blasted flying by Liu Feng's head-on punch!

Liu Feng's body also swayed, and he staggered back two steps before barely managing to steady himself. This tall warrior's battle qi and strength were truly formidable. If the soul power had not struck one step earlier, the one falling now might have been Liu Feng.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Feng's eyes surged with a cold glint once more. His body rushed forward quickly, then suddenly leaped up, and he threw another vicious punch at the tall warrior whose body was still in midair.

Bang!

The tall warrior groaned dully again, and at last, under everyone's utterly shocked gazes, crashed heavily to the ground.

The smile on Liu Feng's face remained mild. As if he had done something utterly insignificant, he clapped his hands and smiled. "Those two blows were to repay you for attacking me first. Remember one thing: I don't know this girl at all, and I have no interest in your affairs either. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Liu Feng did not even glance at the crowd and walked toward the road back to the manor.

Since he had already provoked a conflict, Liu Feng's plan to go to the weapon shop naturally could not be carried out. To avoid trouble, it was better to return to the manor.

Unfortunately, this was only Liu Feng's own one-sided idea. While the middle-aged man was still sunk in shocked contemplation, Elena's face suddenly reddened. Then, gnashing her teeth, she cried, "Who did you say you don't know?" As she spoke, she stamped her foot, no longer paying attention to the middle-aged man's group, and chased after Liu Feng...
