The bloated body moved to the right, blocking Ji Xing's retreat.

After seeing everyone in the room, Ji Xing felt a chill from head to toe.

He had no idea what was going to happen next...

The woman in front of me, with her legs spread out and sitting backwards on the stool, was a woman with a hooked nose and a scar on her face, leaning back in boredom.

In front of her, there was a familiar woman kneeling. Seeing Ji Xing coming back, she said hysterically with a face full of surprise: "Lord Lance! It's him. He gave me this thing! I really don't know anything!"

The woman's ugly face was covered with bruises, and at this moment she only wanted to quickly distance herself from the matter.

"Stop chirping, it's so noisy." Lance came up and kicked the woman hard. The woman flew backwards and finally hit the wall, her life or death unknown.

Lance stood up slowly. He was tall and the armor he wore looked very heavy.

She slowly walked up to Ji Xing and punched the wall next to Ji Xing's ear, covering him in the shadow beneath her.

"Give it to me." Lance stretched out his hand and asked for it.

Ji Xing's body began to tremble instinctively, and without much hesitation, he handed over everything in his arms.

Lance threw the thing to the lackey beside him, and then grabbed Ji Xing's bangs with his hands, forcing him to reveal his handsome face.

"Did I let you make money this way?" Lance said coldly, in a low voice, "Answer me."

“No…no…” Ji Xing stuttered.

"Remember what I told you? What did I want you to do?"

"Remember, remember..."

Ji Xing knelt in front of Lance, curled up his body, and humbly allowed Lance to step on his head.

Ji Xing said in a crying voice: "Master."

"You're helping that gang sell this stuff, right?"

"Master, I won't dare to do that again."

"No, you dare, because I want you to keep selling." Lance squatted down and said sarcastically.

Chapter 45 Your Painting

When Ji Xing came to the mansion again with the gold coins, Becky was catching butterflies in the yard.

But after seeing the person coming, Becky ran away with disgust on her face.

This guy smells so bad, and he smells like a lot of dirty women.

"It stinks..." Becky covered her nose and tried to escape, but she saw the bag in Ji Xing's hand.

My sister said that it contained the currency of the human world, and they were in great need of money right now!

If I help to get something, I might be praised and patted on the head.

So Becky suppressed her disgust and walked forward, but when she got closer she suddenly smelled a familiar floral scent.

It was the white and purple double star flower! Becky remembered the name of this flower. In their tribe, this flower was a rare flower given to men and women when they were in love.

The shape of this flower is star-shaped, and the petals of the six-pointed star have a double color of white inside and purple outside, as if a pure white flower has bloomed inside the purple flower.

If she could pick two plants, could she and her sister use this opportunity to confess their love to Xing Feng?

And the scent of flowers came from the drawing board behind Ji Xing.

"Um...little sister, is there anything I can help you with?" Ji Xing was about to go over to give him money, but was suddenly stopped by Beiji. His expression suddenly became a little nervous.

Becky held out her hand, meaning to give her the money.

Ji Xing remembered the cat demihuman who opened the door yesterday. This person looked younger than her, so they should be together.

"Well... okay, then you take it." Ji Xing handed the purse in his hand to Beiji, but Beiji put the purse at her feet and continued to ask for it.

"As for the money, it's all in there. I definitely didn't keep any for myself." Ji Xing explained hurriedly. He really gave all the money away. How could he have anything else on him now?

Becky turned her gaze to the drawing board behind him.

"Absolutely not this!" Ji Xing hurriedly protected it with his hands, fearing that Becky would reach out to snatch it.

Becky pouted and stamped her feet in anger. After thinking for a long time, she slowly said, "Where is it? Take me... I want to go..."

"You, want to go?" Ji Xing was stunned. He didn't expect Becky to make this request.

Ji Xing thought for a while, looked at the thin Becky, and hesitated for a long time.

Finally he nodded and agreed.

So Becky followed Ji Xing without any precautions and walked happily towards the depths of the forest.

...

At night, Candice hurried to find Xing Feng, looking extremely anxious.

"What's wrong, Candice?" Xing Feng had never seen Candice like this before. Her whole body was shaking, her hair was standing on end, and her tail was drooping.

"Have you seen Becky?" Candice asked anxiously. She just woke up and found that her sister was not around. She followed the smell and found that she had left the house and went outside.

But it had just rained a little outside, making Becky's scent very faint, and she couldn't tell where Becky had gone.

Could something bad have happened? The previous experience of the two of them escaping from the slave-hunting team made her particularly frightened.

If something happened to Becky, how could she face the tribesmen who covered their escape?

Xing Feng quickly comforted Candice not to be nervous, there were some villages nearby and there was no danger, not to mention that Xiaohua was patrolling everywhere from morning to night every day.

"That energetic guy is probably just catching butterflies nearby." Letty said as she yawned while standing on the second floor. She was getting ready to go to bed when she heard some noise downstairs, so she came out to check.

"No, Becky never stays out so late!"

Looking at the anxious Candice, Xing Feng put on the white clothes he wore in the morning and put on his hood.

Now, finding someone is the most important thing, and there is no time to think about anything else. We don’t know when Xiaohua will come back, so if they want to find Becky, they can only rely on themselves.

"Let's go find her." Xing Feng took Candice's hand and walked outside.

When Letty upstairs saw this, she was immediately unhappy. Why did he leave her behind? So she quickly put on a long coat and chased after him.

"Wait for me, wait for me!" Letty hurriedly caught up and put herself between the two of them.

After hesitating for a moment, he separated their hands and personally went to comfort Candice.

"Oh, based on what I know about Becky, she will be fine." Letty said the truth in her heart. That black-bellied cat didn't look like the kind of child who would be stupid enough to get lost.

At this moment, Xiaohua also rushed back home from outside. Seeing Candice with her head down, she hurriedly asked what happened?

After learning the situation from Letty, he hurriedly wondered if she had noticed anything unusual nearby today.

There was clearly no dangerous guy chasing here, and there were only a few villagers nearby, and Lance was just staying in her territory.

Where can Becky run with her two short legs?

"She'll be fine. She might just have fallen asleep somewhere. We'll definitely find her if we go out and look for her." Xiaohua is very experienced in finding people.

The reason why he was able to take Xing Feng away from the Holy Court was thanks to his ability to find people.

Letty nodded in agreement, and pointed to the bushes nearby and said, "Yes, yes, maybe she is hiding in the bushes like this to sleep."

"Wait, what is this?" Xing Feng walked towards the bushes that Letty pointed and took out the bag hidden inside.

The strong smell on it made Candice frown and said, "It's something from the man who sent the money."

Letty immediately slammed the table and concluded that the sneaky, stuttering guy must be hiding something!

"Let's go find him!" Xiaohua's face turned dark. She didn't expect that guy would dare to kidnap someone right under her nose.

Xing Feng didn't quite believe that the man would do such a thing, but he just remained silent and followed the crowd.

With the help of Xiaohua and the guidance of Candice's sense of smell.

Soon they found Ji Xing sitting alone on the mountain, leaning against a big tree. He was lighting an oil lamp and holding his drawing board in his arms.

"She smells like Becky," Candice said, her face pale.

Xiaohua suddenly flew forward, grabbed Ji Xing's throat and lifted him from the ground. The drawing board fell to the ground and the oil lamp was kicked over.

"Tell me, what did you do to her?!" Xiaohua will never show mercy to evil people, even if he is a man.

"She...she...uh..." Ji Xing closed his eyes in pain. He couldn't breathe at all after his feet left the ground. When he struggled, large patches of purple scars were exposed under his collar.

At this moment, Becky poked her head out from the flowers on the slope not far away and looked at the scene in astonishment.

When he realized that he might be in trouble, he stopped looking for Hua and quickly ran up the slope.

"Wait!" Becky hugged Xiaohua's calf, "He didn't do anything bad."

"Becky!"

Candice quickly hugged her sister, and after regaining her lost love, she quickly licked Becky's forehead. "You're okay."

Xiaohua then slowly let go of her hand, and Ji Xing slowly slid down from the tree and sat on the ground.

Is this all just a misunderstanding...

Not long after, after learning the whole story, Xiaohua apologized to Ji Xing for her reckless behavior.

Ji Xing just waved his hands and covered his bruised neck to indicate that it was nothing, as he was already used to it anyway.

Xiaohua was pulled down the slope by Becky, and she and Candice looked for the rare flower in the sea of flowers. Letty hugged Xing Feng's arm and yawned.

"Do you need treatment?" Xing Feng looked at the scars with some reluctance, wondering what Ji Xing had been through.

"Oh... no, thank you." Ji Xing shook his head and declined. He picked up his drawing board and lit the lamp again.

“Can you draw in this dark?”

Ji Xing scratched his face in embarrassment, "My painting is ugly. The effect is actually the same whether I paint during the day or at night."

Xing Feng turned his head and looked at the painting in Ji Xing's arms.

Ji Xing was a little embarrassed: "I told you... the painting is ugly."

Xing Feng shook his head and pointed to the bottom of the picture and said, "You painted flowers here. It's a beautiful sea of flowers."

Ji Xing's body froze and he looked at Xing Feng in disbelief.

"Please stop talking nonsense. There are no flowers here."

“You also painted a lot of maple trees here.”

"I...I may be bad at drawing, but I've never drawn any trees..."

"You also drew a wooden house, and there seemed to be a woman painting next to the wooden house."

"You..." Ji Xing was stunned because he saw Xing Feng's stunning face under the hood and the red gauze that bound his eyes.

How is it possible that a person who cannot see the picture can describe the picture that he hopes for?

At this moment, Ji Xing felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat, and a rotten and sour feeling wanted to overflow from his chest.

Ji Xing stood up awkwardly, covering his mouth, looking a little anxious.

"I, I'm leaving!" He threw down these words, and before Xing Feng could stop him, he hurriedly ran down the mountain with his drawing board on his back.

Xing Feng looked at Ji Xing who was running away in confusion. What happened to him?

...

Chapter 46 Lance's Ambition

"The painting is so ugly, it seems that he really does that..." Letty lowered her eyebrows. She just took a peek and combined with Xiaohua's previous information, she probably confirmed her inner guess.

"What do you mean?" Xing Feng didn't understand what Letty said?

"Oh, don't you know?" Letty was a little surprised, and also a little surprised at Xing Feng's ignorance of the world.

"How do you think a poor single man living in a place like this, without working in the fields and without a wife at home, could have made a living? I think it's obvious."

Xing Feng was stunned. What could he rely on... What did he have...

Xing Feng suddenly seemed to understand something, or maybe he had known it for a long time but had been denying the answer.

Perhaps the comfortable life these days has made him forget a little, or maybe he just doesn't want to face it.

He was unwilling to believe that the world could be so dark, because he was also a paper boat drifting on the sea.

Just a small wave could have caused him to fall into an irretrievable situation, but now he was still drifting aimlessly.
