Lu Jinfeng stared at Chen Mu Mu with a complicated gaze that even she could not understand.
Chen Mu Mu didn't show any signs of uneasiness as he turned his gaze back onto the painting.
In any case, she wasn't the one who had something to worry about, she was more than just speaking up for Lin Mo, what was there to be afraid of.
Besides, she was one of the victims.
Seeing Chen Mu Mu Mu openly meet his gaze, Lu Jinfeng started to feel uneasy. He turned his head away and asked after a while: "Chen Mu Mu, do you really think this way?"
"Yes." She was almost disdainful of words. At least for now, there was no situation that could cause her to do so.
"You …" Lu Jinfeng wanted to say something but stopped himself. When the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back and turned around.
Leaving just like that? Left her?
Chen Mu Mu blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Chen Mu Mu." Lin Mo finally reacted and bowed to her, "Thank you very much."
Chen Mu Mu knew how much he had to thank Qin Wentian for, and snorted, "You don't have to thank me. Paper cannot contain fire. You know what you have to do."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "I'm actually a very vengeful person. If you hurt me, I would definitely find a chance to take revenge. So before I take revenge on you, you'd better do me a good deed to prevent my heart from constantly feeling unbalanced."
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a strange light: "I know what to do."
"Understanding is one thing, but doing it is another." Chen Mu Mu smirked, "Of course, the words I said to you doesn't mean that I'm forgiving you."
Lin Mo was a little stupefied: "What do you mean by that?"
"You will understand." Chen Mu Mu Mu turned around, returning back to his original path.
"This girl shouldn't be saying these words for no reason at all." Lin Mo's face had a trace of doubt, but seeing that Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng had left, he started to walk as well. However, the moment he lifted up one leg, he felt a wave of numbness from both legs, assaulting his heart. Before he could process what was happening, his legs went soft, and his body fell backwards.
BOOM!
A sound echoed out from the ground. Not only did he fall down, he even sat on a rock.
Even Lin Mo, who rarely frowned, could not help but wrinkle his facial features at this moment.
The pain was still secondary, that indescribable numbness caused his entire body to be submerged in a deep sense of powerlessness. Looking at the soft and limber up of his arms and legs, indescribable fear surfaced in Lin Mo's eyes.
He was not afraid of pain, threats, or obstructions.
But he was afraid of this feeling of helplessness.
He had hands and feet, a healthy body, but he couldn't use any strength in his body. If the enemy was on his side, he would be at the mercy of others.
He hated it the most in his life... A feeling of helplessness.
"Chen Mu Mu!" Lin Mo gave in and shouted in the direction that Chen Mu Mu Mu had left, "Come back quickly, I'll admit my wrongs to you, and I won't dare to play with you anymore."
"Next time." "That's an itch powder specially made for you. Enjoy it slowly. If you feel good about it, I'll invite you to try it again next time."
An itch powder?
Isn't it cartilage powder?
Lin Mo opened his eyes wide, an ominous premonition striking at his heart.
Before he could say anything, a kind of itchy feeling came up from the soles of his feet, slowly spreading to his heart.
"So itchy!"
Lin Mo rubbed his back against the ground, but the itchiness and numbness throughout his body did not lessen one bit, almost drowning his consciousness.
He wanted to reach out and scratch the itch, but he was terrified to find that his hands and feet were unable to move.
Lin Mo's tears of regret gushed out all of a sudden.
"Sure enough, no one is allowed to offend a woman. Once a woman becomes ruthless, it is simply too frightening!"
Of course, Chen Mu Mu couldn't see or hear his regret after he left.
At this moment, Chen Mu Mu Mu was leisurely walking back. She sighed endlessly as she thought about the series of events that had occurred since the ancient times.
He had originally thought that it was just a story of farming, but how could he have known that living with his mouth was a problem?
I thought it was a story about getting rich in business, but there's danger everywhere.
It wasn't a palace fight, nor was it a house fight, and it wasn't even a power fight. However, there were f * cking tigers and wolves by her side, none of them could be relied on.
The honest Aunt Wang was Lin Mo's man; the timid Madam Li had a mysterious background that she still had not figured out until now; the greedy Lu Daquan and Madam Luo, who only knew how to grow land, would poison her; the calm little mountain village, where people would come and burn their houses at night …
Every step he took was filled with fear and trepidation.
Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but sigh. "I obviously only wanted to find a place to stay in peace. It's good as long as I don't lack clothes and food. How could I know that I would get involved in an unknown danger without any reason? I don't even know when I'll die."
She even started to suspect if she had done something evil in her previous life to cause so much trouble in her current life.
The modern days were not peaceful, and even in ancient times, she was still on tenterhooks.
However …
"If life is too monotonous, won't it be no fun at all?"
She had to be the same as before. Even if thousands of people were trying to deal with her from behind, they would all still be trampled on by her.
Only by stomping on the enemies one by one would one feel a strong sense of accomplishment.
While she was reigniting her confidence, Lu Jinfeng, who had already walked far away, turned back.
"Chen Mu Mu." he called, with a complicated look on his face.
Still worried about her?
The corners of Chen Mu's lips curled up, but his expression soon turned cold. He stared at Qin Wentian as he asked, "Didn't you already leave? Why are you still coming back?"
"I'm afraid something might happen to you." The straightforward youth said bluntly.
"How could anything happen to me?" Chen Mu Mu sneered, "You should be worried about that master of yours who is full of evil tricks."
Only now did Lu Jinfeng realize that Lin Mo was not by her side. Pausing for a moment, he asked: "Is he alright?"
Since Lin Mo wasn't by her side, he could probably guess.
For a narrow-minded woman like her, Lin Mo almost caused her to die. With this qi, if she did not report it to him, then it would not be Chen Mu Mu.
"He's not dead yet." Chen Mu Mu Mu shrugged, "It's just a bit of soft powder and tickling powder."
Lu Jinfeng's face twitched, the soft powder combined with the ticklish powder, if these two things were placed on a person's body, it would be even more torturous than using a whip to viciously whip others.
Even if he did not personally witness it, he could imagine how miserable Lin Mo was right now.
He couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.
"Do you think I've hit too hard?" Chen Mu Mu Mu forced a smile as he replied, "There's no antidote for this. You just need to burn an incense and it'll be fine."
"It's not heavy." Lu Jinfeng looked at her and replied gloomily, "He deserved it."
"It's rare that you didn't protect him." Chen Mu chuckled, "It seems that you have indeed grown up."
"This has nothing to do with growing up. If you do something wrong, you will be punished." Lu Jinfeng was quiet for a moment, then looked at her, "Is the breaking of my mother's legs related to him?"
"How should I know?" "In any case, he said that as long as you want to hone your skills, you can do anything you want. I feel that he must have done a lot of wrong things, everything is just a guess, I can't say for sure."
Lu Jinfeng's face was ashen, his eyes cold: "If it's really him who did it, I'll definitely not let him off!"
"You've thought it through?" The corners of Chen Mu's mouth curled up in a smile as he stared at Qin Wentian, "You have to know that everything he's done is for your sake."
"For my own good, you shouldn't have hurt me." He looked at her, his gaze deep and calm, filled with determination. "Chen Mu Mu Mu, your family is your bottom line, right?"
He learned her words so quickly.
Chen Mu Mu smiled as he spoke, "That depends on what you think. In my opinion, the person I care about is my bottom line."
She was smiling, but her eyes were filled with a bone-piercing coldness, "Dragons have a reverse scale, whoever touches it will be killed, regardless of the reason."
Lu Jinfeng stared at her expression, looking a little drowsy: "Chen Mu Mu, what have you experienced in the past?"
Why was there such coldness, such hatred?
Who touched her reverse scale, and how did she slay him?
"I'm a country girl." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't explain, but hid the expression in his eyes as he smiled, "What can happen to me? You think too much, I've only encountered a few matters which gave rise to feelings for me."
"One day, you will be willing to tell me." Lu Jinfeng did not force her, and said with a determined expression.
"Maybe." Even Chen Mu Mu Mu was unsure of what was going on as he replied perfunctorily.
When the two of them returned to the resting area, Madam Li came over and asked with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Where's Master Lin, why didn't I see him?"
"He noticed that there was something strange up ahead, so he went over to check it out." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied, "Master Lin doesn't know when he'll be back. Let's go first, he knows Qing Gong, he'll catch up in a short while."
Lu Jinfeng frowned, this woman really knew how to torture people, not only did she give Lin Mo tickling powder and soft powder, she even took away her horse and car, allowing him to chase after her.
He could already foresee Lin Mo's expression that made him want to cry.
However, Lin Mo had indeed overstepped her boundaries and taught him a lesson.
He nodded his head and echoed Chen Mu Mu's words, "Master has indeed said so and is preparing to head to the capital. Since the journey is more urgent, we won't wait for him."
Lu Jinfeng and Chen Mu Mu had both said that, so even though Madam Li was worried, he could only swallow his words back down his throat.
Chen Ergou looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and while no one was watching, he went close to Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu's ear and asked: "Little sister, what did you do to Lin Mo that old fellow?"
He more or less knew about his little sister's bad temper. Just now, when he was about to leave, she had viciously grabbed Lin Mo and would definitely teach him a lesson right now. Although he did not really like Lin Mo, but now that everyone was on the road, wasn't it better for them to do this?
Chen Mu glanced at him. "You won't die, if you're free, you should go and learn how to drive a carriage from Lu Jinfeng. For a man to gossip all day, I hate you even as a woman."
He only asked a single question about Lin Mo, what happened to her?
Although he was unhappy, he did not have the guts to make a fuss about it with Chen Mu. He replied and ran to the front of the carriage to strike up a conversation with Lu Jinfeng.
"Xiao Feng, did you guys just go out?"
Lu Jinfeng cast him a glance, and said coldly: "Men don't gossip too much."
Chen Ergou, "..."
Who had he offended?
