Wu Fengxian made the decision to agree to Li Laocai's request for the sake of her child today, but she never expected that at a critical moment, Li Laocai would suddenly scream and flee, leaving her momentarily stunned.
"Ah!"
Then, Wu Fengxian screamed in terror and fainted.
Zhan Lingfeng was also speechless; when he approached, he truly frightened Wu Fengxian into unconsciousness.
Taking a few steps closer, Zhan Lingfeng looked at Wu Fengxian in the moonlight. Her figure was indeed quite impressive; her ample bosom and long legs were undeniably attractive to men.
Zhan Lingfeng's thoughts were not those of a young man; hidden within him was an old soul, naturally possessing strong feelings.
He crouched down and gently touched Wu Fengxian a few times before pressing his finger on her acupoint.
With the activation of Inner Qi, Wu Fengxian woke up.
However, upon seeing Zhan Lingfeng crouched in front of her, she nearly fainted again.
Zhan Lingfeng, who was already prepared, pressed her acupoint again to prevent her from losing consciousness.
With wide, terrified eyes, Wu Fengxian finally took a breath and said, "It's you! You scared me to death."
Zhan Lingfeng then pinched her chest lightly and said, "What were you thinking? Why did you come here with Li Laocai to do such things?"
"You!"
Wu Fengxian did not expect Zhan Lingfeng to have seen everything she had done. She immediately felt embarrassed and flustered, not knowing what to say as tears streamed down her face.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Xu, you can't tell anyone about this. If it gets out, I won't be able to show my face in this village!"
Wu Fengxian suddenly grabbed Zhan Lingfeng's hand.
"I just heard that he was going to give you a thousand yuan. You would do this for a thousand yuan?"
"I have no choice, I really have no choice!"
Wu Fengxian started crying again.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on? Maybe I can help you."
"Yes, yes, you can definitely help me. Xu, I have no other options. That deadbeat hasn't sent a single cent since he left. You know our family's situation; we are separated. The Cao Family doesn't like me because they owe debts from marrying me off. Now my child has a fever and we can't afford medicine. Li Laocai said if I sleep with him, he'll give me a thousand yuan. I did it just to get medicine for my child."
At this point, Wu Fengxian looked at Zhan Lingfeng and said, "You must have money, Xu. If you give me money for the child's treatment, I'll do anything you want." She started crying again.
"Put on your clothes and let's go see the child."
Zhan Lingfeng had initially wanted to play around a bit, but upon hearing this, he realized that the woman was truly desperate and had no choice but to stand up.
"Okay, okay, you must help me."
Wu Fengxian quickly stood up without caring about anything else.
Under the moonlight, Zhan Lingfeng's gaze was strong enough to take in Wu Fengxian's physical condition.
Standing there, Wu Fengxian was different from Li Xiuli; while Li Xiuli still had a somewhat immature look, Wu Fengxian was completely different. She exuded an extreme allure with her mature figure, which was very attractive to Zhan Lingfeng, who had just broken through to the Mingjing Layer and was full of Inner Qi.
Dressed and ready, Wu Fengxian walked ahead while Zhan Lingfeng followed behind.
Zhan Lingfeng did not know what was wrong with him, but he felt an intense desire for women.
After the family was split, in a dilapidated small house on the edge of the village belonging to Wu Fengxian, there wasn't much furniture. Inside, apart from a stove and some pots and bowls, there were a few bamboo chairs and a bed.
When he lit the oil lamp, Zhan Lingfeng saw that there was a baby sleeping under what appeared to be relatively new bedding.
As he walked over to take a look, he realized that the child's condition was indeed not good.
"Xiu, what should I do? The child has been running a fever and it hasn't gone down."
With the arrival of the man, Wu Fengxian seemed to finally find some support and said this.
Zhan Lingfeng was quite famous in the village now; everyone knew how he had made his fortune, transforming an extremely impoverished family in a short period. Such a person was respected by all, and some even regarded him as almost mythical, believing he could do anything.
Wu Fengxian naturally shared this sentiment; otherwise, how could a middle school student like Zhan Lingfeng command her attention?
"You go boil some hot water."
"Okay, okay."
"Wait for me a moment; I will gather some herbs."
Zhan Lingfeng then left the house and, using the moonlight, gathered some herbs around the house before tossing them into the medicine cauldron.
Dealing with a child's fever was not difficult for Zhan Lingfeng. The Medicine Cauldron itself was an alchemical furnace containing medicinal properties; he just needed to brew some medicine to treat the child's illness.
With the activation of his inner qi, the herbs in the Medicine Cauldron transformed into a medicinal liquid, which Zhan Lingfeng poured into a bottle he always carried with him.
When he re-entered the room, the water had already boiled.
"Pour the hot water into the basin and make it warm; we need to soak the child for a bit."
Wu Fengxian truly felt helpless and completely followed Zhan Lingfeng's instructions.
There was still a large basin at home, which they usually used for bathing. Zhan Lingfeng poured the medicinal liquid into the basin without considering Wu Fengxian's thoughts and picked up the child to place him in the water.
When Wu Fengxian wanted to say something, she opened her mouth but didn't dare to question Zhan Lingfeng.
However, her worries quickly disappeared. After the child was placed in the water, he seemed to relax significantly.
After washing the child with water for a while, Zhan Lingfeng looked at him again. The child's previously flushed face had returned to its normal state, and he even wore a smile, having fallen asleep.
After drying him off and dressing him, Zhan Lingfeng said, "It's fine now. He'll be completely better after a good sleep."
"Really?"
"Yes, you should also soak in this warm water; it's good for your body."
As she spoke, Zhan Lingfeng took out a thousand yuan and handed it to Wu Fengxian, saying, "You traded with Li Laocai for a thousand yuan; now I'm giving you another thousand and have helped you treat your child. We'll talk again when you need me." With that, a smile appeared on Zhan Lingfeng's lips as he walked out of the room.
Walking down the road, Zhan Lingfeng realized that he was indeed somewhat interested in this young woman.
