If something needs Old Master Xu himself to take action, how could it be some ordinary person? This girl Xiuyue is really something, such a big thing and she didn’t even tell me?!

Zhou Yang shot Zhu Xiuyue a somewhat displeased look, feeling a bit complicated inside. But he didn’t say anything in the end. After all, Brother Feng had come out fine, and there wasn’t really anything wrong with how Zhu Xiuyue handled it. Old Master Xu was much stronger than he was anyway.

However, when Zhou Yang thought about how Lin Feng had been in danger and he himself didn’t even know it had happened, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of irritation, just like half a year ago when he heard the White Wolf King had been ambushed, yet had no idea whether Lin Feng was dead or alive. It left his chest feeling blocked.

"Xiuyue..." Zhou Yang reached out to gently stroke Zhu Xiuyue’s smooth long hair, lowered his voice, and forced himself to sound calmer, speaking to her very gently. "If Brother Feng is ever in danger again, remember, you must tell me. I mean it..."

Zhu Xiuyue was stunned for a moment. She knew Zhou Yang usually acted all careless and goofy, but now he suddenly showed such a solemn expression, so of course she knew he was being very serious about this. She couldn’t help feeling a bit ashamed... She had kept quiet exactly because she knew how hot‑blooded and impulsive Zhou Yang was, afraid he’d throw everything aside to help Lin Feng and end up in trouble himself. So she’d pretended to "forget" to inform him.

Zhu Xiuyue had thought that if she didn’t tell Zhou Yang, she’d worry less and feel a bit better. But when Zhou Yang talked to her like this, she knew she’d been wrong—ridiculously wrong.

"Got it..." Zhu Xiuyue was a smart woman. From Zhou Yang’s seemingly calm tone, she could hear the decisiveness in it... If Zhou Yang could tolerate her making a few big mistakes, she knew she’d just wasted one of those chances this time.

Xiang Wang just quietly watched the exchange between Zhou Yang and Zhu Xiuyue. Though he felt Zhou Yang was being a bit overly serious about it and that Sister‑in‑law Xiuyue hadn’t necessarily left him out on purpose, he still felt this stance was necessary. After all, they only had one Wolf King. Being able to come back from the dead once was already a gift from heaven. As little brothers, if they couldn’t share their Boss’s burden when he was in danger, that was practically a disgrace.

"By the way, where did Boss go now?" Seeing Zhu Xiuyue’s expression, Zhou Yang knew this girl now understood how important this was, so he didn’t keep pressing her. He switched back to his usual sloppy demeanor and asked with a grin. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Zhu Xiuyue pointed at the elevator, her expression a bit odd. "Brother Feng just took a beautiful woman into the elevator. I think they went up to the fifth floor..."

Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang both froze for a second, then exchanged a bitter smile and shook their heads in unison.

"Looks like we were overthinking it. Boss still has the energy for that, so he’s probably not in any real trouble..." Zhou Yang shook his head, his expression a little weird.

Xiang Wang also nodded. "I always knew Boss wasn’t an ordinary guy. Back then every time we yelled about going out to have fun, he always looked totally uninterested. I even worried he might have issues in that department. Now it looks like he just had some mental baggage before... Now that he’s let it go, this is the true hero’s style! No wonder he’s our Boss. I’ve got to take him as my role model—study hard and make progress every day!"

Zhu Xiuyue’s face darkened. She’d never imagined that in Xiang Wang’s eyes, Lin Feng’s kind of debauched lifestyle had actually become some kind of example to learn from?!

"Tch! You’re still a kid and already learning all the wrong stuff... What’s with all these dirty thoughts? Get back to installing the surveillance!" Zhou Yang smacked Xiang Wang on the forehead irritably and shook his head.

"Brother Zhou... you hit my head again. I told you, the most valuable thing about me is this brain. If you smack me stupid, Brother Feng will never let you off!" Xiang Wang yelped at the smack and protested to Zhou Yang, very aggrieved.

"Quit whining and move it... If the monitoring system isn’t done before tomorrow, Boss will be the first one not to let you off!" Zhou Yang didn’t go easy on him, just grabbed him by the ear and dragged him away.

Only then did Zhu Xiuyue finally relax, her mood lightening as she broke into a sweet smile.

...

Lin Feng took Ye Lin up to the fifth floor, pulled out his universal room card, and walked into one of the reserved empty rooms. He pointed at the large bed inside and said with a smile, "Ye Lin, if you’re tired, just lie down and sleep for a while. I’ll stand guard for you. Don’t worry, I won’t secretly do anything to you..."

"I’m not going to sleep..." Ye Lin shook her head and sat straight down on the very comfortable big sofa in the room. Her tone calm, she said to Lin Feng, "You just took a pretty heavy hit. Now is the best time to treat it. As long as you have half an hour, you can fully dissolve the medicinal power of the Jiuxiang Muscle Relaxing Pill. Take the pill now... I’ll guard you."

Only then did Lin Feng realize that the reason Ye Lin had asked him to find a place to rest was so he could take the pill and heal as soon as possible... Who’d have thought this violent chick could actually be so considerate!

Lin Feng took out the Exquisite Wooden Box containing the Jiuxiang Muscle Relaxing Pill and said with a grin, "Only half an hour to dissolve the medicinal power, huh? Then just sit wherever you like for a bit—I’ll take it now..."

Ye Lin nodded and gave a soft "mm."

Lin Feng didn’t say anything else. He sat cross‑legged on the bed, opened the latch of the wooden box, took out a wax‑sealed pill, pried off the wax, and poured a brown pill about the size of a longan pit into his palm. He first lifted it to his nose and took a light sniff.

Sure enough, this pill deserved the name Jiuxiang Muscle Relaxing Pill. A mysterious yet rich blend of fragrance flowed straight into his mind with that breath. Then a lazy, supremely comfortable feeling spread from his head through all his limbs and bones...

"It really is a good medicine. Just one whiff and it’s already relieved most of the pain in my body. This works even faster than the strongest anesthetic. More importantly, it doesn’t numb my other senses like anesthetics do. On the contrary, I feel my control over my body is even sharper than before!" Lin Feng stared curiously at the plain‑looking pill in his hand, muttering to himself.

"Once you break the wax seal on the Jiuxiang Muscle Relaxing Pill, you have to swallow it within a minute, or its efficacy will drop sharply..." Ye Lin, off to the side, rubbed her forehead and reminded him irritably.

"Oh, oh..." Only then did Lin Feng come back to himself and shove the pill into his mouth, gulping it down.

Strangely enough, as soon as that big pill slid down his throat, it seemed to vanish instantly. A moment later, Lin Feng felt an extremely powerful surge of heat shoot straight from his throat down into his lower abdomen where his Qi Sea was, making his previously somewhat dried‑up Qi Sea suddenly swell with energy...

Right after that, an incredibly strong wave of qi erupted from Lin Feng’s body with a boom, like a violent gust of wind that swept through the entire room in an instant...
