Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2323: Chapter 2322: Another Public Display of Affection

Tang Feng finished speaking and didn’t move, implying that Ma Feicui should leave quickly as well. However, Ma Feicui waved her hand and said, ”Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your friends. You go ahead and get busy.”

She smiled at Jiang Yichun as she said this, looking truly gentle and generous.

”Miss Ma, you should get busy too. We’re tired from our journey and need to rest in the room. We won’t keep you,” Bai Ruozhu said with a half-smile.

”Oh? At least have breakfast before you rest, otherwise it’s not good for your health.” Ma Feicui appeared to be concerned for them. One had to admit, this woman’s face was really quite thick.

”Thank you for your concern. We’ve already eaten. Enough said, we’re exhausted and need to rest,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Seeing no hope, Ma Feicui didn’t show any disappointment, but instead smiled and said, ”Alright, I won’t disturb you then. Otherwise, should I come find you for dinner tonight, or maybe take you somewhere tomorrow?”

”Thank you, Miss Ma, but we really have some matters to attend to, so we won’t trouble you,” Jiang Yichun said impatiently.

Even if he were foolish, he could see Ma Feicui’s ulterior motives by now.

”Well...” Ma Feicui wanted to say more, but Jiang Yichun had already pulled Bai Ruozhu back into the room, shutting the door with a loud bang.

Tang Feng stifled a laugh and quickly headed downstairs. He was truly afraid that if Ma Feicui couldn’t cling to Jiang Yichun, she’d come after him instead.

”That Miss Ma really has thick skin,” Yizi whispered.

Bai Ruozhu stifled a laugh. Even little Miss Yizi had gotten smart and could see the ugly faces of these schemers.

”She must have some family protection in this area, which is why she’s so arrogant. It seems Ma Tongfang is quite famous around here,” Bai Ruozhu squinted as she spoke. She was determined to deal with Ma Tongfang and let the world know what he had done back then and recognize his ugly face.

Jianqi and Yizi had nothing much going on. Since Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were tired, they rested in the room, leaving Jianqi and Yizi to keep watch nearby. Qiu Zhi continued to investigate in the city. Before leaving, he said, ”That Luo family must be Demons; otherwise, how could humans have such abilities?”

Bai Ruozhu glared at him and said, ”Fairies have such abilities. Are Fairies considered Demons in your eyes?”

Qiu Zhi was choked by her words and hurriedly left, not daring to say more.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun rested and only woke up for lunch. Unexpectedly, Tang Feng had already come by, but feeling awkward, he didn’t want to disturb them.

”I’ve figured out Gao De’s situation. He personally doesn’t have anything special, but he carries an ancestral Golden Buddha, which is said to have been blessed by a high monk, perhaps from Xinchan Temple. Since the Golden Buddha is small and he wears it under his clothes, no one notices it,” Tang Feng said.

Upon hearing Xinchan Temple, Bai Ruozhu’s eyes widened, ”Was it Master Pudeng who blessed it?”

Tangfen said, ”That I’m not sure about, and neither is Gao De. His father was the one who sought it out, and when he passed it on, he didn’t say much. Originally, I wanted to ask him more, but he suggested I seek such a blessing at Xinchan Temple, as his father passed away six years ago.”

Bai Ruozhu sighed, ”No need to go. Master Pudeng has already entered Nirvana; you won’t find him.”

She realized she had lost her composure after speaking, as Tang Feng wasn’t actually seeking a blessed object.

”If a Golden Buddha blessed by a high monk prevents entry into the Illusory Realm, then doesn’t it mean that the Luo family is using Demonic Methods?” Tang Feng asked.

”It’s still hard to determine. I’ve asked Qiu Zhi to compile statistics on how many are ghosts and how many, like Gao De, are genuine residents. Additionally, those not noticing any issues, why is that? Let’s discuss it later,” Bai Ruozhu said.

Tang Feng leaned back in his chair and suddenly laughed, ”Encountering many things, this one is the most bizarre yet interesting, quite enlightening.”

”I haven’t asked what’s up with that Ma Feicui. What’s this I hear about you getting married?” Jiang Yichun teased with his sharp tongue.

Mentioning Ma Feicui made Tang Feng’s face fall instantly, ”What marriage? It’s more like pestering. When I first arrived, she somehow spotted me and went home to tell her family something. Later, her father Ma Tongrui approached me about it.”

The more Tang Feng spoke, the more displeased he became, ”Ma Tongrui is Ma Tongfang’s cousin; the Ma family is influential around here. As a newcomer, I couldn’t openly embarrass them, so I politely declined, citing health issues and no desire to marry.”

Bai Ruozhu wanted to ask about Tang Feng’s health but felt it wasn’t appropriate, so she swallowed her words.

”I thought the matter was settled and forgot about it. But not long after, Ma Feicui started pestering again. Her skin is incredibly thick, often with an attitude of ’I don’t mind you being married, why won’t you accept me,’ which is truly disgusting.” Tang Feng made a dry heaving gesture, making everyone laugh.

”Why didn’t you tell us earlier? You could have warned us,” Bai Ruozhu said a bit reproachfully.

Tang Feng looked awkward, ”Can I really talk about such things? I found it humiliating.”

Everyone laughed again upon hearing this.

Tang Feng smiled wryly and continued, ”Ma Tongrui has an almost domineering influence around here, so everyone gives Ma Feicui some leeway. No one wants to offend the Ma family. I later discreetly inquired, and learned Ma Feicui is already eighteen but hasn’t settled down or married due to some bad habits...”

Before he could continue, Bai Ruozhu interjected, ”She likes handsome men, right!”

Tang Feng looked at her in surprise, ”You figured it out so quickly? That’s no fun. At least give them a chance to guess.”

”Is guessing necessary? Her gaze at Achun gave it away,” Bai Ruozhu laughed.

Jiang Yichun glared at Bai Ruozhu with mock annoyance, ”You know she likes handsome men, yet you still speak politely with her. Aren’t you worried about your husband being coveted?”

Yizi and Jianqi silently averted their gazes, knowing those two were showing off their affection again.

Bai Ruozhu grinned, ”Aren’t I watching over things? If I didn’t care, why would I be keeping an eye? My husband isn’t just any ordinary man, he’s not easily flirted with.”
