Finished Eating, Then Started Cursing the Cook?

As time passed, Tang San and his group arrived outside the little wooden house.

Dai Mubai had just stepped forward when his forehead struck an invisible barrier with a thud, making him grimace in pain.

"What's going on? It feels like something's blocking us!" he cried, rubbing his reddened forehead.

Zhao Wuji's expression hardened. Secretly circulating his Soul Power, he threw a punch at the invisible wall before him.

Bang!

After the dull impact, the wall did not budge in the slightest.

"Ding, Shock Value -776!"

Qin Feng, who had been lost in thought, instantly snapped back to his senses upon hearing that his Shock Value had decreased.

What the hell!

He cursed inwardly and strode outside the wooden house with an angry expression.

He had always earned Shock Value from others. Since when had anyone ever earned it from him?

"Look, someone's coming out!"

Just as the people outside the door stood helplessly with their heads hanging low, Oscar suddenly pointed inside and shouted.

"Someone?"

Everyone looked over and saw a young man slowly approaching.

"He's actually this young?"

Ning Rongrong muttered softly.

She had originally assumed that anyone daring to build a house and live in the inner region of Xingdou Great Forest had to be a reclusive expert. She had not expected him to be a young man barely over twenty.

Zhao Wuji also looked astonished and suspicious. His gaze repeatedly swept over the man's body, yet he could not detect even the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power.

"No Soul Power?"

Zhao Wuji murmured, his heart filled with doubt.

Logically speaking, powerful people could sense Soul Power fluctuations from weaker people, even if there was only a trace of it. Yet he had found no Soul Power fluctuations whatsoever on this man.

Could this person be stronger than him?

Impossible!

Zhao Wuji shook his head. Judging by this man's age, he was only a little over twenty. How could he possibly have reached the realm of a Soul Sage?

But having no Soul Power was even less likely. This was the inner region of Xingdou Great Forest! Without Soul Power, he would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even scraps behind!

"Everyone, trespassing into someone else's residence is a very rude thing to do."

Before Zhao Wuji could continue thinking, a cold voice rang out beside his ear.

He raised his head and looked at the man before him.

Qin Feng was currently sweeping his gaze over everyone with a frosty expression.

Although these people had just contributed over ten thousand Shock Value to him, one thing was one thing.

"Please forgive us, sir! I did not know anyone lived here. What I did just now was merely to check whether this wooden house was occupied."

Zhao Wuji lowered his head and cupped his fists respectfully.

After thinking it over, he decided to lower his stance first and probe into this man's background.

If this man happened to be an expert, then at least he would not offend him by doing so.

"Since you know someone lives here, then please leave."

Qin Feng sneered, not believing Zhao Wuji's one-sided explanation.

Come on, did the protagonist group have any credibility to speak of?

However, upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji shook his head and did not retreat.

"Sir, we have been traveling through Xingdou Great Forest for most of the day. Could you allow us to enter and rest for a while?"

"Of course, we will offer compensation!"

Zhao Wuji cupped his fists again.

He did not want to shamelessly beg someone either, but he had no choice. As a Soul Sage, he could still endure, but Ning Rongrong and the others were weak and could not keep going.

Resting outside was too risky. This little wooden house was protected by a wall that even he, a Soul Sage, could not break. If they rested here, he would not need to worry about Soul Beast attacks.

"Compensation? What compensation?"

Upon hearing that, Qin Feng's eyes shifted. His gaze landed on Zhu Zhuqing and the other women, and he deliberately put on a lecherous expression.

After Zhu Zhuqing and the others noticed Qin Feng's ill-intentioned expression, they took several steps back, disgust appearing on their faces.

Tang San and the others also tacitly stepped in front of the girls, glaring coldly at Qin Feng.

"Please do not misunderstand, sir. The compensation I meant is Gold Soul Coins!"

Naturally, Zhao Wuji noticed this. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke in a deep voice.

"Oh, so you meant Gold Soul Coins!"

Seeing the angry expressions on Tang San and the others, Qin Feng put on a look of sudden realization.

He had not expected Tang San and the others to be so easy to provoke. A single look had drawn such a huge reaction.

He wondered how the protagonist group had survived until now.

"Fine, come in."

Qin Feng did not plan to tease Tang San and the others any longer. After all, he still needed to harvest Shock Value from Tang San. It would not be fun if he scared them away.

With a thought, he dismissed the Turtle Formation and turned sideways to lead everyone into the courtyard.

After stepping into the courtyard, Tang San and the others did not lower their guard. They continued to inspect the little wooden house cautiously.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

Zhao Wuji walked over to Qin Feng and asked casually.

"Qin Feng."

Qin Feng smiled calmly and did not hide it.

It was just a name. Even if they knew it, it could not harm him. He refused to believe Douluo had some evil technique like making voodoo dolls.

"May I ask what Young Master Qin's Soul Power level is?"

Zhao Wuji probed again.

If this man was weaker than him, then he would not need to be so cautious. Perhaps he would not even need to pay the Gold Soul Coins in the end.

If he was stronger, then he would pretend he had never asked.

"Hmm... I have no Soul Power."

At the question, Qin Feng frowned slightly. Then he smiled and answered truthfully as before.

He wanted to see what tricks Zhao Wuji intended to pull.

"No Soul Power?"

Although Zhao Wuji was puzzled by the answer, he still heaved a sigh of relief. No Soul Power meant this would be easy to handle.

As for the Gold Soul Coins he had promised earlier?

To hell with that!

It was already good enough that he was not settling the score over Qin Feng's earlier teasing of Zhu Zhuqing and the others!

With no more concerns, Zhao Wuji stopped paying attention to Qin Feng and swaggered over to Tang San and the others.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Zhao Wuji act like that, Qin Feng snorted coldly and instantly understood everything.

So they wanted to eat without paying!

In that case, he would not hold back!

"Don't worry. This person has no Soul Power."

After arriving beside Tang San and the others, Zhao Wuji truthfully recounted the conversation between himself and Qin Feng.

"No Soul Power? Hahaha! I thought he was something impressive!"

Hearing the news, Dai Mubai let down his guard and burst into laughter, his face full of mockery.

Tang San and the others also relaxed, a trace of disdain flashing through their eyes.

"Hmph, if not for the fact that he let us in, I would have broken his legs already!"

Ning Rongrong raised her delicate fist and spoke viciously.

She still had not forgotten the way that man had looked at her earlier.

But seeing how sensible he was, she would reluctantly spare him this once!

"Exactly!"

The little Wu beside her nodded in agreement.

Not far away, listening to Dai Mubai and the others mock him, Qin Feng wore an expression that said he had expected this all along.

"They really are shameless!"

Qin Feng said quietly, a faint killing intent flashing through his eyes.

He had never seen such shameless people before. They finished eating and then started cursing the cook?
