Chapter 247: Chapter 161: That Bowl of Stir-Fried Pork Rice

Saving such a person almost cost me my life, not to mention accruing over a million merit points in debt.

Li Hengsheng felt a bit stressed, no matter how he thought about it, he felt he really lost out on this deal.

“What’s wrong? Is there still somewhere you’re feeling uncomfortable?” Mu Qingge saw Li Hengsheng seemed to be frowning tightly and asked with concern.

“It’s nothing, Sister Qingge, don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine.” Li Hengsheng forced out a ’happy’ smile that looked worse than crying.

There’s nothing wrong with my body, it’s just that I thought of some unhappy things.

“Are you sure there’s nothing wrong? If there’s anything you need my help with, feel free to let me know anytime.” Mu Qingge comforted him.

“Thank you, Sister Qingge.” Li Hengsheng truly found that Mu Qingge was very gentle towards him.

It seems the outside world’s impression of Mu Qingge is not fair at all—she’s clearly a woman full of humanity, very enthusiastic, and extremely gentle.

She treats people kindly, politely, giving off a feeling like a warm spring breeze; I don’t know how the outside view became so distorted.

Just as he was pondering, a disciple ran in from outside and said to Mu Qingge, “Elder Qingge, Xue Changren from the Xue family seeks an audience. He said if you don’t see him today, he won’t leave the doorstep.”

“Warn him and tell him to scram.” Mu Qingge’s expression turned and she said angrily, “If he refuses to leave, have Uncle Yan break his legs for me! If he doesn’t like walking, then he won’t walk for the rest of his life!”

“Ah, yes!” The disciple was startled, quickly ran out; every time a son from a noble family came to see Mu Qingge, he’d always end up being scolded away like this.

Yet these people keep pestering shamelessly like a bunch of bootlickers without a trace of shame.

“These dog men, I’m annoyed just at the sight of them,” Mu Qingge said furiously.

Li Hengsheng was watching beside her, completely dumbfounded, cold sweat trickling down his face.

The rumors really aren’t unfounded! This woman is indeed ruthless!

Just then, Mu Qingge turned her head and once again showed a gentle smile to Li Hengsheng, saying, “By the way, are you hungry? I can whip up something for you to eat, though it surely won’t compare to the delicacies at your Dao Mountain Residence. If you’re really hungry, you can just make do with a bite.”

“I’m truly sorry, it seems my hospitality is lacking.” Mu Qingge looked a bit embarrassed, even a hint of apology flickered through her eyes.

Li Hengsheng was flabbergasted!

What’s going on?

This Mu Qingge changes faces too quickly.

One moment she’s a fierce tigress, intimidating, shouting at dog men, threatening to break legs, and the next she’s a gentle little kitten.

Are there two personalities competing for control within Mu Qingge’s body?

Dad, where are you?

I’m a bit scared.

Even when facing tens of thousands of Ghost Race army in the forbidden zone, Li Hengsheng didn’t fear, nor did he fear when besieged by two Postnatal Peak powerhouses, not even facing Grandmaster Zhao Juezong of the Longevity Sect.

But at this moment, facing the unpredictable Mu Qingge, Li Hengsheng felt alarmed and his body unconsciously shifted back by half an inch.

Things that are unfathomable are truly frightening.

“Sister Qingge, you don’t have to trouble yourself, I’m not hungry, I’ll be leaving soon.” Li Hengsheng didn’t dare to let Mu Qingge prepare food for him.

What have I done to deserve such treatment?

“Alright then, have a good rest, if you don’t understand anything you can ask me, and if you have any requests, feel free to mention them. I’ll help you as much as I can. Later, someone from your Dao Mountain Residence will come to pick you up.” Mu Qingge said to Li Hengsheng with a smiling face.

“Uh, okay.”

“Don’t be so formal with me.”

“Okay, okay.”

After saying this, Mu Qingge moved to the side.

Li Hengsheng sat there, feeling as if a day was as long as a year.

Like sitting on pins and needles, like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Afraid that this second Mu Qingge would still be this gentle, and then the next she would have someone rush in and break his legs.

Li Hengsheng endured second by second in silence, not daring to even breathe too loudly.

After a while, a heart-wrenching scream came from outside, “Old Four, is that you? Are you still alive? Are you missing an arm or a leg?”

“It’s Third Senior Brother’s voice.” Li Hengsheng immediately recognized Lord Zhou’s voice echoing from afar. Hearing this familiar voice, Li Hengsheng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Why does that voice sound like a funeral cry?

Li Hengsheng stood up and walked out the door, just in time to see Lord Zhou rushing in from outside. Seeing Li Hengsheng, Lord Zhou rushed forward and gave him a tight bear hug, holding him in his arms.

The force was strong, as if he feared Li Hengsheng would fly away.

Feeling Lord Zhou’s concern, Li Hengsheng felt warm inside and then smiled, saying, “Third Senior Brother, I’m fine, don’t be like this, there are so many people watching. They’d think we have something special going on.”

“Old Four, it’s so good that you’re okay.” At this moment, Lord Zhou’s eyes were red: “Senior Brother thought I would never see you again. Do you know, when you didn’t come back last night, I really thought…”

Lord Zhou took a deep breath at this point and gave Li Hengsheng another bear hug, conveying everything without words.

“Alright, I’m really fine, look, I’m perfectly healthy. Plus, with the people from Medical King Valley, what could go wrong?” Li Hengsheng said with a smile, spinning around in front of Lord Zhou to show he was indeed in good health.
