Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Gu Yu said softly, agreeing with Lin Feng's statement, but also sticking to her own opinion.

At this point, a barely perceptible blush appeared on Gu Yu's pale face, and her voice lowered.

"Young Master Lin, could you possibly do me another favor?"

"Just call me Lin Feng, 'Young Master Lin' sounds awkward."

Lin Feng casually asked again, "What kind of help are you busy with? Tell me."

Gu Yu bit her lower lip, her voice barely audible: "Help me find some clothes I can wear... I want to..." She found it hard to say.

Lin Feng paused for a moment, then naturally replied, "Need to use the restroom?"

"Mm." Gu Yu nodded gently.

Although her injuries were severe, they were mostly external, and her internal organs were not seriously affected. She was fine while she was unconscious, and after waking up, she ate and drank water.

"Okay, wait."

Lin Feng was decisive; he got up and left the room.

He walked around the yard, pretending to rummage through the empty house next door, but actually took out two sets of his own clean old clothes from his spatial storage.

All the clothes are new; I haven't worn them yet.

He returned to his room and placed his clothes beside Gu Yu's bed.

"You'll have to make do with my clothes."

"Do you need my help?" Lin Feng asked naturally, without any ulterior motives, simply because he was considering her limited mobility.

"No...no need!" Gu Yu quickly shook her head. "My injuries are mainly superficial. I can still move my hands and feet. I can manage on my own."

Letting her use the toilet while she's conscious and being helped by a man is worse than killing her.

"Okay, then be careful not to aggravate your wound."

"I'm outside, call me if you need anything." Lin Feng didn't insist, considerately leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the sky went from dawn to dusk.

Because of the city-wide manhunt triggered by the "White Jade Token" during the day, things were chaotic outside, with occasional commotion, the sound of horses' hooves, and even the occasional clang of metal from afar.

Lin Feng was happy to have some peace and quiet and spent the whole day in the yard.

After a whole day of rest, and taking Qi-restoring pills and muscle-regenerating powder, along with the effects of Lin Feng's special medicine, Gu Yu's spirits improved significantly, and her face regained some color, no longer appearing so pale and frightening.

She spent most of her time with her eyes closed, regulating her breathing, guiding the medicinal effects, and restoring her depleted internal energy.

As night deepened, it slowly enveloped Yongguan County.

Lin Feng changed into his night clothes and told Gu Yu inside the house, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

He then quietly climbed over the wall and disappeared into the night.

His target is the city lord's mansion.

Although Tuoba Ku was dead and the city lord's mansion had fallen apart, Lin Feng learned from the memories he gained from devouring Tuoba Ku that the guy had secretly kept a considerable amount of private money and spare pills in his study.

I was in such a hurry when I went to steal the corpse before that I didn't have time to search carefully. Now that the limelight seems to have been drawn away by the white jade token, it's the perfect time to go and retrieve it.

They quietly infiltrated the city lord's mansion again, and the scene before them was different from that of a few days ago.

Most of the white silk hanging in the mansion had been removed, but the lights inside were much dimmer than usual. Most of the rooms were dark, with only a few scattered candlelight, giving off a desolate and lonely feeling of the mansion being deserted.

The former prosperity and power vanished like a dream with the death of its master.

With Lin Feng's current cultivation level at the second level of the acquired realm, he could move through this mansion, whose defenses were already lax, as if it were empty.

The remaining servants were completely unaware of his presence.

Following his memory, he arrived at Tuoba Ku's study with practiced ease.

The study was empty, having already been looted by the servants or confidants who had fled earlier.

Lin Feng's gaze swept towards the roof beam, where there was an inconspicuous shadow.

With a light leap, he pressed and pried at a spot on the beam, removing a loose wooden plank that revealed a small, hidden compartment.

Inside was a flat wooden box.

Lin Feng took the wooden box down, and opened it after landing.

Inside, neatly stacked were ten exquisitely made banknotes bearing a special official seal—gold notes, each with a face value of one hundred taels of gold, totaling one thousand taels for ten notes.

This is a huge sum of money, enough to purchase a considerable property in Liangzhou, or to buy a lot of cultivation resources.

Besides the gold ticket, there were two small white porcelain bottles with red paper attached to them, bearing the words "Qi-restoring pills." These were more common internal energy recovery pills, slightly less effective than Gu Yu's Qi-restoring pills, and each bottle contained about ten pills.

"A good haul." Lin Feng put away the gold notes and pills with satisfaction and restored the hidden compartment to its original state.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left the study, slipping out of the city lord's mansion as silently as he had come.

In the darkness, he returned towards his own courtyard.

The streets were quieter than usual, perhaps because the chase during the day had left many people feeling uneasy, and they stayed indoors early.

Just as he was about to reach the alley entrance, and was still a dozen or so feet away from his own courtyard gate, a strange thing happened.

On the moonlit cobblestone path ahead, a figure was staggering and stumbling towards him.

The man's steps were unsteady, his body swaying, one hand tightly clutching his abdomen, dark liquid seemingly seeping from between his fingers, reflecting a faint glow in the moonlight.

Lin Feng reacted quickly, immediately slipping into the shadows behind the door of a nearby house, holding his breath and observing in secret.

As the person drew closer, Lin Feng, aided by the moonlight, could make out their attire—a dark gray outfit and a crooked, torn straw hat.

It was the same knife-wielding man who had snatched the jade token from him during the day, killed his companion, and fled first.

"How did this guy end up here?" Lin Feng wondered.

Judging from the other party's appearance, he was obviously seriously injured. He probably suffered a great loss in the ensuing melee and chase, and became a stray dog.

The man with the knife seemed to be at his last gasp, sustained only by a will to survive.

He stumbled to the wooden door of Lin Feng's courtyard, raised his hand to knock, but before he could even get his arm halfway up, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Curled up in the shadows in front of the door, it lay motionless, only its chest rising and falling slightly.

This scene left Lin Feng completely bewildered.

"What's going on? Is it really not working?"

Or was it an act on purpose?

"Is he planning a self-inflicted injury, or trying to take someone down with him before he dies?" Lin Feng's mind raced, and various possibilities flashed through his mind.

However, Lin Feng's principle was simple: take a chance first, even if there's no guarantee of success.

Lin Feng silently took out a hardwood bow and an eagle-feathered arrow from his spatial storage.

There was not a sound.

The bow was drawn to its fullest extent, the arrow tip gleaming like a cold star in the moonlight, precisely aimed at the man's exposed nape of the neck.

Loosen your fingers.

"Buzz"

The bowstring vibrated, producing a slight tremor.

The arrow leaves the bowstring.

"Pfft!"

The arrow pierced the man's neck with perfect accuracy, the arrowhead protruding an inch from in front of his Adam's apple.

The man's body convulsed violently, but he couldn't even let out a scream. His chest, which had been rising and falling slightly, stopped instantly, and his hand, which had been clutching his abdomen, fell limply to his side.

Under the moonlight, a streak of crimson blood slowly flowed down the arrow shaft and dripped onto the bluestone slab.

After confirming the death, Lin Feng went up and released the Black Lotus, which devoured the corpse.

Only a pool of blood remained on the ground.

Then Lin Feng opened his palm, and the white jade token returned to his hand.

"Holy crap, this is interesting."
