Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Big Bad Guy! (1 more)

"God... heavens above!"

When the female thief pushed open the door and saw such a bloody scene, her heart nearly leapt out of her chest.

"What... What happened here? Is this really the massacre of the Jia Family that I’ve stumbled upon on my first mission for the organization?"

Jiang Biyi felt incredibly unlucky, but what she didn’t know was that even worse luck was yet to come.

Seeing the storeroom door creak open and another figure in black emerge, Jia Yan knew without having to think that his Jia Mansion had been burglarized!

Truly, it was a case of misfortunes piling up. Not only were attackers storming the front gate, but now the back of the house had been robbed by this little thief.

"Damn it!"

Jia Yan, with anger surging within him, waved his hand and harnessed his robust True Qi to create an Absorption Power, swiftly pulling Jiang Biyi toward him. He immediately struck her chest with his palm, violently hurling her in Ling Feng’s direction.

"Hmph! You think you can escape using that method?"

Upon seeing a delicate figure, spewing fresh blood and crashing towards him, Ling Feng casually caught the body, followed by unsheathing his sword and executing the Boundless Falling Wood Killing technique in mid-air, which brought an end to Jia Yan’s life.

From that point on, all members of the Jia Mansion, save for some defenseless elderly, women, and children, had been completely slaughtered by Ling Feng.

"Hey, kid, are you alright? So young and already learning to be a thief?"

Only then did Ling Feng look down at the thief in his arms and noticed her black veil had been dyed red with blood. He quickly uncovered her clothes to check her wounds.

Then, Ling Feng’s mind went blank for a full three seconds!

This... this little thief was a woman?

"Urgh..."

Jiang Biyi coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if she had more breath going out than coming in, seemingly on the verge of death. Her vision blurred, and she fainted away.

"Hey, hey!"

Ling Feng hastily fixed the clothes of the female thief in his arms and gently patted her cheek, only to find her completely unconscious. If he left her be at this moment, she would likely turn into a corpse.

"Ah, what a hassle!"

Ling Feng frowned, then picked up the barely alive female thief and, deploying the Floating Light Shadow movement technique, vanished into the night in the blink of an eye.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that the disaster that had befallen Jia Mansion was discovered. When the Black-armored Guards arrived at the scene, all that was left in the Jia Mansion were just the weak and elderly.

"Alas, a massacre indeed!"

The commander of the Black-armored Guards, Yang Zhen, after inspecting the bodies of Jia Yan and the other Jia Family elders, could only hastily rule it as a casualty. As for the rest, in cases of vendetta like this one, the City Lord Mansion likely wouldn’t be able to do much— at most, they could declare martial law for the City Guards.

As for seeking revenge or capturing the murderer, the Jia Family was already thoroughly doomed; such matters were beyond consideration now.

"Brother Jia, Brother Jia, in light of our friendship, I, Yang Zhen, will take over the care of your mistresses."

Yang Zhen stroked his beard, chuckling to himself. Come morning, he would need to start thinking about how to divide the Jia Family’s territory and assets with the other major families of Hanwu County.

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter" — this is the "stark reality" of the world.

...

Meanwhile, Ling Feng had taken the female thief, his silhouette flashed and in an instant, he flew out of the commandery from the west gate, quickly vanishing into a dense forest after a few more leaps.

The woman in his arms was gravely injured, and if she wasn’t treated in time, she might well lose her life.

"You’re lucky, with such severe injuries, ordinary doctors would be helpless."

Ling Feng pursed his lips, thinking that this woman was rather unlucky. Had she not encountered him while committing a massacre at the Jia Mansion, she would have likely escaped unharmed after stealing.

In a way, he now owed her one.

He gently lifted off the female thief’s veil. Beneath it was an almost flawless face, very beautiful, with a somewhat ethereal and otherworldly aura, even though she was as pale as death.

Ling Feng pursed his lips again; he had seen many beauties and had built up quite a tolerance to them.

"Excuse me."

Ling Feng took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged behind the female thief, and realized that Jia Yan’s palm strike was truly lethal. The dark bruise had spread from her chest to her back. Had it not been for Ling Feng sealing her heart meridian right away, she would have likely died on the spot.

He took out a row of Golden Needles from his bosom, and with movements swift as lightning, he reconnected several of her severed meridians using the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique. Consuming some of his True Qi, he channeled it into her body. After a while, a hint of color returned to her face.

"Uh..."

Jiang Biyi moaned softly, her eyebrows deeply furrowed as if she were having a distressing dream, curling up like a frightened little rabbit.

"Hey, are you okay now?" Ling Feng gently patted her cheek, which finally woke the female thief up.

"Ah!"

Jiang Biyi sprung up from the ground, subconsciously pulling at her clothes at her chest, shouting indignantly, "You big villain, get... get away from me!"

"Big villain?" Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. "After all, I saved your life. Not even a word of thanks, just calling me a big villain?"

Jiang Biyi clutched her chest tightly, sobbing and wailing, "Who asked you to save me! I was just carrying out my mission perfectly fine; it’s all your fault! It’s because of you that I almost died!"

...

Ling Feng’s forehead darkened, "Fine, fine, fine, it’s my fault. Now we’re even, you don’t owe me and I don’t owe you."

With that said, Ling Feng stretched lazily and slowly got to his feet, speaking indifferently, "You’re no longer in danger of dying, but you still need to follow the prescription I’ve given you and take care of yourself for half a month before you fully recover. Really, for a young girl, there are much better things to do than be a thief, which doesn’t have much of a future. You’re still young but your cultivation has already reached the Late Stage of the Magnetic Condensation Realm. You’re probably not just any ordinary thief, right?"

"None of your business!" Jiang Biyi bit her lip, glaring fiercely at Ling Feng.

"If you say so."

Ling Feng just shrugged, then pointed at Jiang Biyi’s chest, speaking neutrally, "The prescription, I put it in your pocket just a moment ago. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

Jiang Biyi looked down and indeed found a piece of paper in her pocket. Her face immediately flushed crimson as she huffed, "You... and you still say you’re not a big villain!"
