Thud!
He stepped into a mud pit!
But it was more than a mud pit. It was filled with dog sh*t…
Feng Wu had covered the pit with leaves. In the dim light at this hour, and with the stench around Feng Wu —
Feng Xun missed the pit and stepped right into it.
As soon as he stumbled into the pit, Feng Xun shrieked. “Argh —”
Feng Wu chuckled into her palm. “That’s what you get for chasing me and refusing to leave me alone!”
Of course, Feng Wu didn’t linger. She immediately turned to run.
She knew perfectly well that Feng Xun’s anger would drive him on a harder pursuit!
That was her voice!
Infuriated, Feng Xun cursed. He then pulled his feet out of the pit to find his boots covered in dog sh*t…
Holding his breath at the stench, he took off his boots, tossed them aside, then ran after Feng Wu on bare feet.
“Ugly girl! Stop! Stop right there!”
Feng Xun sounded angry and frustrated.
Feng Wu was anxious and didn’t know what to do. She wanted to tell Feng Xun to stop. Trying to catch her would only harm them both.
Feng Wu turned around and warned him, “Stop chasing me. You’ll never catch me.”
“Heh!” Feng Xun snorted. “Here’s what I’m going to tell you: Over. My. Dead. Body!”
That serious? Feng Wu cringed.
Coming from Feng Xun, that was a massive grudge…
So, Feng Wu’s only option now was to run as fast as she could!
But she couldn’t run forever.
Feng Xun on his own wasn’t all that threatening, but if Xuan Yi showed up later, or Jun Linyuan…
Feng Wu knew that she wouldn’t be able to get away.
What should she do?
Feng Wu racked her brain for a way out.
The stink bug was her main problem. The smell was impossible to remove, and she would be found out wherever she went.
Therefore, removing the stink was her top priority.
But how?
Feng Wu’s thoughts whirled.
Could she go to a pharmacy?
Feng Wu shook her head. She could see that the pharmacy was still quite some distance away, and even Feng Xun would consider that possibility.
Maybe he had already stationed someone outside the pharmacy.
Air freshener… air freshener… where could she find some air freshener?
Yes!
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up.
A brothel!
Brothels were very particular about hygiene and wouldn’t have any foul smells in their buildings. They had to have some air freshener around.
Where were the brothels in the imperial capital?
Feng Wu hadn’t been to one, but she knew the imperial capital well enough to know the general direction.
Feng Xun was still running after Feng Wu when he saw her change direction. He frowned. “Where is she going? Sh*t!”
Feng Xun was quick-witted enough to figure out the answer.
“What’s wrong?” Xuan Yi showed up at that moment.
“Quickly! That girl is heading for the brothels! Stop her!”
Xuan Yi glanced at Feng Xun. “Is she really that ugly girl?”
“Yes! It’s her! This may be our only chance! If we lose her, we may never find her again! Go get her! She smells like a stink bug!”
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi were going to split up when —
“Hey, are you chasing something?” A teenager leaned against a banister and grinned at Feng Xun.
It was none other than Yu Mingye.
An idea struck Feng Xun when he saw Yu Mingye.
Yu Mingye!
He wasn’t the only one who was tricked by the ugly girl in Frozen Forest. Yu Mingye was a victim, too!
