Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Struck by Lightning for Showing Off

Xiao Yufei clearly heard what Wang Luyao said. She staggered, bumping into the door.

Puzzled, Wang Luyao turned and finally noticed Xiao Yufei standing behind Ye Feng. Her pretty face flushed, and she quickly let go of him. She looked at Xiao Yufei, flustered, and said:

"Yufei, I didn’t see you there."

Xiao Yufei forced a smile. "You two will be married soon. This is perfectly normal. Congratulations!"

Wang Luyao bit her lip. She walked over, took Xiao Yufei by the hand, and pulled her aside. Looking at her earnestly, she said:

"Yufei, I know you love Ye Feng. Why don’t you be with him, alongside me? I don’t mind."

Xiao Yufei’s face turned as red as a beet. She stared at Wang Luyao in utter astonishment. ’She never imagined Wang Luyao would say something like that.’

Seeing the sincere look in Wang Luyao’s eyes, Xiao Yufei knew she wasn’t joking. A warmth spread through her heart, and she quickly replied:

"Luyao, thank you for the kind offer, but I already have someone in my heart. You and Ye Feng should live a happy life together!"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Wang Luyao’s eyes. She nodded. "Yufei, the truth is, I feel like I stole Ye Feng from you, and I’ve always felt guilty about it. Can we be good sisters from now on?"

Xiao Yufei smiled and nodded.

The two of them embraced tightly.

They held the embrace for a long moment before pulling apart. As Wang Luyao got in the car to drive, Ye Feng looked at her and asked curiously:

"Luyao, what were you and Yufei talking about?"

Wang Luyao giggled. "I’m not telling you. It’ll just make you smug."

Ye Feng: "..."

The two of them returned to Angel Apparel and went to Wang Luyao’s office.

Wang Luyao immediately threw her arms around Ye Feng. She looked at him, her voice a coquettish purr. "Ye Feng... I’ve missed you."

With that, she puckered her lips and pressed them against his!

Ye Feng was powerless against Wang Luyao’s passionate assault and was completely overwhelmed.

...

While the two were savoring their sweet romance, a piece of news was spreading like wildfire through Jiangcheng.

The Sun family had offended the Xiao family. Not only was Sun Lei killed, but his son also died a violent death. In the end, the Sun family was forced to compensate the Xiao family with all their assets before its members departed Jiangcheng in disgrace, their whereabouts now unknown.

People were stunned. How could the Xiao family possibly wield such power? But soon, the truth was unearthed: the one who had forced the Sun family to submit wasn’t the Xiao family at all, but the man standing behind them—Ye Feng.

BOOM!

The news hit Jiangcheng like a thunderclap, leaving everyone dumbfounded. The Lin family had offended Wang Luyao, so Ye Feng had stepped in and crushed them, with half of their assets being absorbed by the Wang family.

The Wang family was instantly elevated to the ranks of the four great families.

Now, the Sun family had offended Xiao Yufei, and Ye Feng had once again stepped in, completely destroying them. This allowed the Xiao family to defy all expectations and rise to become the new head of the four great families.

’Just what kind of terrifying power does this Ye Feng possess? He can crush even the great families with ease. Who would dare to cross him now? It would be suicide!’

And so, every major power in Jiangcheng issued a strict order to their younger generations: anyone who dared to provoke Ye Feng was to be beaten to death on the spot!

Ye Feng was unaware that he had become a taboo in Jiangcheng, where a new saying was quietly making the rounds:

"Better to provoke King Yama than to cross Ye Feng."

...

In the afternoon, Wang Luyao left for a meeting, and Ye Feng was lazing around in bed, sleeping in. Just then, his phone began to ring insistently.

Ye Feng reached over, grabbed the phone, and answered. Nangong Xue’s voice came through the receiver:

"Ye Feng, do me a favor. There’s this fly that won’t stop pestering me. I need you to come over tonight and act as my shield. Help me get rid of him. He’s driving me crazy..."

"And why should I help you?" Ye Feng cut her off before she could even finish.

Nangong Xue’s voice turned alluring. "There’s a reward in it for you..."

Before the words were even out of her mouth, Ye Feng cut her off again. "Not interested. You really think I’m some kind of pervert?"

With that, he hung up.

He had just put the phone down when it started ringing again.

It rang several times before Ye Feng finally answered, his voice thick with irritation.

"Are you *trying* to be annoying?"

The next moment, a light chuckle came through the phone. "Xiaofeng, have you got so many girls around you now that you’ve gotten tired of your Master?"

"Holy shit, Sixth Master!" Ye Feng shot upright, rambling, "Oh, Master, I didn’t know it was you! I miss you all the time, how could I ever be annoyed with you!"

Hearing this, Liu Hanyan burst out laughing. "Hehe, and here I was thinking you’d met some pretty girl and forgotten all about your Master... Hehehe..."

"Master!" Ye Feng’s face flushed.

Liu Hanyan stifled her laughter and asked:

"Xiaofeng, you’ve gotten the Jade Pendant from Xiao Yufei, haven’t you?"

"Yes, Master," Ye Feng replied, nodding quickly.

"Xiaofeng, don’t you want to see your parents as soon as possible? You need to hurry it up! There are still four Jade Pendants left!" Liu Hanyan urged.

Ye Feng nodded again. "I’ll get right on it, Master."

The thought that his parents were out there somewhere, their situation unknown, sent a sharp, wrenching pain through his heart.

’I really need to pick up the pace!’

"Mm," Liu Hanyan grunted in acknowledgment, then continued, "Oh, right, Xiaofeng. There’s another clue regarding your parents.

My memory isn’t what it used to be, and I was afraid I’d forget the information about your family’s enemies. So, I tattooed a single letter on the butts of several girls.

When you put those letters together, they’ll reveal the identity of the person who went after your parents. So, when you retrieve each Jade Pendant, you also need to make sure you see and remember those letters!"

"On their butts... letters?" Ye Feng staggered, nearly falling flat on his face.

For a while now, he’d been going on about needing to see a certain girl’s chest to find a clue. And now, just great, it had escalated to looking at their butts.

’It wasn’t just that other people would think he was a pervert; at this point, he was starting to think he was a pervert himself.’

Hearing the confusion in Ye Feng’s voice, Liu Hanyan asked quizzically:

"Wait a minute. I made it perfectly clear to Xiao Wenyuan back then. The prerequisite for you to get the Jade Pendant was that you had to sleep with Xiao Yufei. You two have done that already, right? So you’re telling me you didn’t see the letter on her butt?

Xiaofeng, tell me the truth. Did you two not actually sleep together? Did you lie to me?"

Liu Hanyan’s voice instantly turned cold.

"Oh! Uh, we did! We did sleep together!"

He feared neither heaven nor earth, but he was terrified of his masters—especially his Sixth Master, Liu Hanyan. She was the most attentive when it came to his care, but she was also the one who doled out the harshest beatings. Hearing her anger, Ye Feng instinctively flinched. It was like a natural, instinctual form of suppression.

At the first sign of Liu Hanyan’s anger, Ye Feng’s bravado evaporated, and he spoke in a rush.

’He wasn’t lying, though. He and Xiao Yufei really had slept together. But he honestly hadn’t looked at her butt. Who knew it held a secret!’

Hearing his reply, Liu Hanyan’s tone softened considerably. "That’s a good boy. If you haven’t seen it yet, hurry up and go take a look at what letter is on Xiao Yufei’s butt. I’ve already forgotten which one it is!"

"Okay, okay, I get it," Ye Feng agreed, though his mind was already scheming. ’I’ll just ask Luyao to go look at Yufei’s butt and tell me what letter she finds. That should work.’ But Liu Hanyan’s very next words left him utterly stunned.

As if reading his mind, Liu Hanyan added calmly, "Oh, and one more reminder. These letters are of the utmost importance. You mustn’t tell anyone about them. If someone with ill intent were to find out, not only would it bring ruin upon these girls and their families, but the trail to your parents could be lost forever. Remember that!"

Ye Feng froze, completely dumbfounded. ’My little schemes are totally transparent to Sixth Master!’

’Now he finally understood. His other five masters were all incredibly powerful, practically defying the heavens, yet in front of Sixth Master, they were as meek as lambs. Sixth Master was the *real* powerhouse!’

Just then, Liu Hanyan continued, "Xiaofeng, sort things out with these fiancées of yours as quickly as you can. After them, it’ll be your senior sisters’ turn. I’m telling you, they have clues on them as well..."

She stopped herself mid-sentence. "All right, you don’t need to know too much about that yet. Just focus on securing your five wives first!"

Ye Feng dropped to the floor, phone still in hand, his eyes staring blankly into space. ’The fiancées have letters on their butts... so where are the clues on my five senior sisters going to be tattooed? If they’re tattooed on... on *that* place, how am I supposed to collect the clues?’

’He didn’t dare to think about it any further.’

Then, Liu Hanyan continued, "By the way, since you’ve ’handled’ Xiao Yufei, I’ll tell you the name of the second girl. She’s called Nangong Xue..."

"Nangong Xue?!" Ye Feng yelped, nearly dropping the phone. "Master, are you talking about the young boss of the Holy Banner Group, *that* Nangong Xue?"

"You know her?" Liu Hanyan asked, surprised.

"I do. All too well," Ye Feng said, grinding his teeth. ’He’d just been on the phone with her!’

Liu Hanyan burst out laughing. "Xiaofeng, I didn’t realize you were so quick on your feet! Well, this is great. Go ahead and win over Nangong Xue, and I’ll tell you the third girl’s identity. You’re the one who’s always talking about wanting to reunite with your parents, so you’d better pick up the pace!"

With that, Liu Hanyan hung up.

Ye Feng’s face fell.

’He had just thoroughly offended Nangong Xue, and now he had to turn around and beg her for a favor.’

’It couldn’t be helped. She held all the cards now.’

’Might as well go and apologize.’

Ye Feng grimaced. This was a classic case of eating his own words.

A single phrase echoed in his mind: Pride comes before a fall.

Ye Feng picked up his phone and dialed her number. It rang for a long time before she finally answered. Forcing a cheerful tone, Ye Feng said, "Hey, Nangong Xue... Lovely weather we’re having tonight, huh..."
