After listening to Mei's complaints, Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "I thought it was something serious. It turns out it's just because that person doesn't know your grandfather's whereabouts!"
Mei was still sobbing, pouting as she said, "Since the people from the White Jade Escort Agency don't know where my grandfather is, then my grandfather, my grandfather..." Before she could finish, she burst into tears again.
Although Mei was a lovely girl with a sweet and melodious voice, once that sweet voice turned into crying, it became sharp and piercing, turning into noise.
Lingfeng and Ziren frowned simultaneously and quietly covered their ears.
"Mei, please stop crying. How about I go to Bai Family Town to take a look and inquire about it?" Lingfeng patiently suggested.
"Inquire about what? My grandfather must be in grave danger!" Mei sniffled.
"That's not true!" Ziren finally spoke up, seemingly quite certain in denying Mei's assumption.
Lingfeng and Mei turned to Ziren and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Ziren pondered for a moment, pacing back and forth before slowly saying, "The White Jade Escort Agency has many people, and there are quite a few who don't understand how to strengthen their bodies. Most of the women from White Phoenix Mountain are lazy; they rarely leave their rooms. Over time, they naturally fall ill. However, Grandpa Mei's medical skills are exceptional and rare. Even if the Hundred Venom Bee from the White Jade Escort Agency was burned by Lingfeng, White Phoenix Mountain can still keep Grandpa Mei around to treat family members!"
After hearing Ziren's analysis, both Lingfeng and Mei nodded in agreement.
"If that's the case, Grandpa might really be alive!" Mei seemed to see hope and couldn't help but shift from crying to smiling.
"How about this? Ziren and I will go to Bai Family Town while you wait here for news!" Lingfeng said.
Mei shook her head slowly and replied, "Right now, Bai Family Town is full of people from the White Jade Escort Agency. I'm afraid if you go there, you'll expose your whereabouts."
"This isn't difficult." Lingfeng was quite at ease, as if he were not entering a tiger's den, but rather his own home.
Mei and Ziren both wondered how Lingfeng could be so confident, looking at him in confusion.
Lingfeng chuckled a couple of times, glanced at Ziren, and then said to Mei, "Mei, let me borrow your clothes and makeup!"
"Sure!" Mei didn't ask further and turned to go inside.
As Mei entered the house, Lingfeng sized up Ziren as if he were looking at a creature from Mars.
Ziren felt uncomfortable under Lingfeng's gaze, his face alternating between red and white. After a moment, he asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Oh," Lingfeng replied, "I think you look quite handsome. You'll be my maidservant for a while!"
"What?" Ziren looked at Lingfeng in shock, hardly believing his ears. The idea of being made into a maidservant by Lingfeng was something he couldn't accept; if this got out, it would surely make him the laughingstock.
Lingfeng shot Ziren an impatient glance and said, "What do you mean 'what'? Being my maidservant is already a favor to you. Don't forget your current identity!"
Since being "tricked" by Lingfeng, Ziren had found himself in a situation beyond his control. Lingfeng was so shameless that he demanded Ziren to be his attendant.
Ziren's martial skills were on par with Lingfeng's, but he couldn't use his powers and had no choice but to endure the humiliation. It was pitiful that the once formidable chief who had commanded respect in the State Government had now become a subordinate to this rogue named Lingfeng.
Before long, Mei found some clothes and cosmetics and brought them to show Lingfeng.
Lingfeng nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ziren with a mischievous smile.
Ziren dared not meet Lingfeng's gaze and could only lower his head, thinking of a way to escape.
"Zi, come with me!" Lingfeng tightened his throat and called out sharply.
"Zi?" Mei glanced at Lingfeng and then at Ziren, who had his head down and was blushing furiously. Suddenly, she burst into laughter.
Ziren's chest heaved violently, as if he were struggling to suppress the anger within him.
Lingfeng quickly winked at Mei, and only then did she manage to stifle her laughter. Holding her breath, she walked up to Ziren and said softly, "Actually, you really look quite standard. Not only are you a handsome guy, but if you dressed as a woman, you might charm countless strong men!"
Ziren was already a cold-faced handsome man. Although he knew Mei was trying to comfort him, he felt that Lingfeng was deliberately teasing him.
Seeing that Ziren remained unmoved, Lingfeng said, "What's there to be angry about? Since I need you to be my maid, of course I have to be the older sister!"
Both Ziren and Mei were taken aback and turned to look at Lingfeng in unison.
Inside Herb Hall, Mei sat on a chair in the courtyard while White Wolf lay at her feet, staring intently at Mei's room as if waiting for some good show to begin.
"Creak!" After a while, Mei's room finally opened. A corner of a skirt squeezed through the door crack, and then a veiled figure slowly stepped out.
Lingfeng and Ziren were of similar height, but this person used their sleeve to cover their face, making it difficult for Mei to confirm. However, the figure's shape was indeed like that of a beautiful woman.
"Why cover your face? Let me see what you've done so I can help you decide!" Mei eagerly shouted as she waited for the good show to unfold.
Following closely behind, another person emerged.
The person had a bronze complexion, wearing a wig crown on their head and a colorful skirt. Their quirky eyes continuously cast flirtatious glances at Mei.
Upon seeing this scene, White Wolf stood up in shock, baring his teeth at the androgynous Lingfeng.
Mei was taken aback for a moment before she could no longer hold back her laughter, losing her lady-like demeanor and rolling on the ground.
Lingfeng realized that his disguise had failed and, feeling frustrated, took off the crown and walked over with a rough demeanor, saying, "My skin tone is really not good, and I look too much like a man. I can't pull off being a woman."
After a while, Mei gradually stopped laughing. Recognizing that the person in front of her was Ziren, she called out, "Ziren, let me see you!"
Ziren hesitated and did not step forward, merely standing there.
Lingfeng glanced at Ziren and said, "You have to show yourself sooner or later. What’s there to be shy about? You're just a big man!"
Only then did Ziren slowly lower his hands, revealing silver hairpins adorning his head, willow-shaped eyes, and dark brows. His lips were naturally red, his complexion pale and noble, beautiful and innocent.
Mei looked at Ziren and found herself unable to laugh anymore. She could only say in awe, "Ziren dressed as a woman makes me feel inferior!"
Ziren's face flushed slightly; his originally indifferent aura softened, resembling a serious lady.
"What a pity! Such a good figure and excellent looks, yet he's a man. If he were a woman, this Hero would definitely take him!" Lingfeng shook his head with a sigh.
Mei shot Lingfeng an angry glare and scolded him, "You heartbreaker!" Then she stepped forward to support Ziren and said, "A young lady should walk gracefully without being careless; one must tread lightly and steadily."
Ziren nodded and took a few gentle steps as if his feet barely touched the ground, floating above it.
Meijian couldn't help but clap and cheer. She glanced at Lingfeng and said, "With your burly figure, half a woman looks like a monster. I think you’d be better off pretending to be the Nursemaid!"
"Nursemaid?" Lingfeng exclaimed in surprise, touching his flat chest. Who would believe he was a Nursemaid?
"It's nothing!" Mei waved her hand, casually picking up two steamed buns from the table. She placed a stone between each bun and walked over to Lingfeng, handing them to him.
"This..." Lingfeng looked at the buns in his hands, feeling at a loss.
"Put them in!" Mei urged.
Lingfeng silently lamented; he had just teased Ziren, and now it was his turn. With a bitter face, he slowly stuffed the two buns inside.
Mei's clothes were already tight-fitting, and Lingfeng felt uncomfortable wearing them. Now that the buns were stuffed inside, they were tightly wedged in the middle.
Mei's eyes sparkled with laughter, but her face remained expressionless; anyone with a bit of sense would know that it was because she was trying hard not to laugh.
"And then? Am I supposed to go out with my sister like this?" Lingfeng asked in a gruff voice.
Mei didn't respond; as soon as she stepped into the room, the door was slammed shut behind her, followed by Mei's startled laughter from inside.
After a while, Mei emerged holding a makeup box, with an old lady's headpiece in her right hand.
Lingfeng immediately realized that Mei intended to dress him up. Helplessly, since this method was his own idea, he could only comply and obediently sat in the chair for Mei to fuss over him.
Ziren had already adapted to this outfit and quietly stood by watching Lingfeng's predicament with amusement.
"Your skin color is too eye-catching; even with powder, it won't turn white. However, if you apply some crimson on top, that would be easier!" Mei said as she picked up a box containing some crimson. She then gently dabbed a bit with a handkerchief and applied it to Lingfeng's face.
"Also, since you are a wet nurse, your age is naturally not small, and your teeth won't be complete!" She then picked up a black dental cover from the side and placed it over Lingfeng's front teeth.
After half an hour of preparation, Mei stepped back and nodded expressionlessly. She hurriedly packed up the makeup box and ran into the house...
After a while, Lingfeng remained motionless. Although he didn't know what kind of ridiculous appearance he had been turned into, he instinctively stood up and stretched. He squinted his eyes, and the frown lines on his forehead resembled black soil. His face was half red and half black, looking like an old woman weathered by years of wind and rain. When he opened his mouth, one of his front teeth, covered by the black dental cover, appeared to be missing half.
Ziren stared blankly at Lingfeng for a moment, thinking that this was neither human nor ghost. Then he walked away expressionlessly, leaving Lingfeng standing alone in the yard, feeling confused.
"Don't you care about your current appearance?" Ziren reminded him after walking quite a distance.
Lingfeng pouted, thinking how could he not want to see it? It was just that he didn't dare to look, fearing he would scare himself.
Seeing that only Lingfeng was left around, White Wolf seemed to be quite frightened and quietly got up. Keeping a distance from Lingfeng, he tried to sneak away.
Lingfeng glanced at White Wolf and suddenly dashed forward a few steps. With his mouth wide open, he scared White Wolf into running away in a flash.
