"Scram!"
Lin Xueyi's straightforward sentence severed Yang Fei's hopes.
Yang Fei chuckled with a sly smile and glanced around the room a few times.
Turning his head, he put on a look of uprightness, "Sister Xueyi, are you sure you can handle it?"
Lin Xueyi hesitated for a moment.
The truth be told, she felt somewhat uneasy about handling this kind of situation.
Who knew what sort of mess there was inside the guest room?
"You can come in with me, but keep those dog eyes from wandering. I'm afraid you'll get sty eyes, and keep your paws to yourself, understand?"
As she spoke, Lin Xueyi turned and entered the room.
Yang Fei's face lit up with joy, and he trotted after Lin Xueyi into the room, "Sister Xueyi, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. I promise to see nothing inappropriate, to touch nothing inappropriate."
Inside the room, there was a nauseating smell, and traces of vomit on the floor.
The cotton quilt on the bed looked like torn burlap, covering a woman's body.
Her two slender white legs, however, stretched out from under the blanket.
The girl's long hair was in disarray, and her face bore an abnormal flush.
Her porcelain-white face was as intricate an art piece as if carved from jade, exquisite and elegant.
The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, delicate and fine, like little curtains.
Even in such a disheveled state, the noble and icy aura emanating from the girl still made Yang Fei's eyes widen.
Partly concealed within the quilt, even with most of the 'scenery' hidden by the blanket, she was enough to drive any man in the world mad.
Her icy facial expression and devilish figure together created an indescribable, mesmerizing allure.
What a top-notch beauty.
Yang Fei's gaze became intensely heated.
The beauty's casual trousers had been pulled off, and her consciousness was clearly still a bit muddled.
Mumbling like in a dream, she muttered unintelligible syllables, her arms tightly guarding her chest, her teeth biting her lower lip so hard that blood was visible.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Xueyi instantly became enraged.
She furiously cursed, "This bastard, to lay hands on such a decent woman, there is not a single good man!"
Her gaze fell on Yang Fei's sneaky appearance, and she raised her voice, "Yang Fei, what are you dog eyes looking at?"
"If you look one more time, see how I deal with you?"
Yang Fei's head shrank back as he wailed his plea, "Sister Xueyi, I am a pure person, I was just fascinated by the novelty of the ornament on her neck, that's all."
Following his gaze, Lin Xueyi saw an exquisitely designed ornament hanging around the woman's neck.
The ornament, made of bright silver mithril, twisted and coiled into a strange symbol.
In the middle of the symbol, a cat's eye jade shone brilliantly.
"This woman is no ordinary person; that ornament is not cheap at all."
Yang Fei's eyes were still fixed on the ornament in front of the beauty's chest as he sighed.
"If my guess is correct, this woman's identity is anything but ordinary..."
"Wow, this beauty could really cost a man his life."
Without another word, Lin Xueyi grabbed a feather duster from the table and Yang Fei legged it, retreating all the way to the door.
Lin Xueyi shouted fiercely, "You rogue, get in here, or I'll break your legs."
"Sister Xueyi, based on your overreaction, may I assume you're jealous? Rest easy, she's not my type; I only have my eyes for you," Yang Fei said, although he remained outside, his careless voice however carried every word inside.
Lin Xueyi threw the feather duster in her hand as hard as she could.
Outside, Yang Fei's voice immediately rose in a ghostly howl, "Help, murder of a faithful husband..."
Lin Xueyi took a deep breath, the twelfth deep breath she had taken that day.
There was no helping it; every time she was with that bastard Yang Fei, she couldn't help but see red.
The only way to calm herself was to do this.
What kind of karma had she created to end up with such an odd-job man?
Lin Xueyi took a moment to compose herself and reached out to help the woman on the bed.
However, the woman's body was so limp and uncoordinated that Lin Xueyi couldn't get her to sit up no matter how hard she tried.
Out of frustration, she yelled towards the door, "Yang Fei, are you dead or what? If not, roll in here and help me."
No sooner had she spoken than Yang Fei rushed in with a trot, grinning cheekily and said, "Sister Xueyi, I knew you still needed me."
For some reason, the sight of his smug smile made Lin Xueyi's blood boil.
She grabbed the quilt, wrapped it tightly around the woman's body, and said, "Help me carry her to the bathroom, put her in the bathtub."
"Such a beautiful woman, lucky she wasn't spoiled by any villain."
"Roger that!"
Yang Fei saluted crisply, bent down, and with a swift motion, picked up both the blanket and person and then moved into the bathroom.
Lin Xueyi filled the bathtub with hot water and said, "I've got the next part covered, you go out first."
"Sister Xueyi, actually, as a professional rogue, undressing is also my forte,"
"How about I stay here, utilize my talents, and help Sister Xueyi out with this trouble..."
Yang Fei was shamelessly reluctant to leave.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Xueyi swiftly grabbed the plastic broom from the corner of the wall.
Seeing the dangerous turn of events, Yang Fei scampered out of the bathroom, "Fine, fine, no need for violence."
After a short while, Lin Xueyi also went downstairs.
She still had a scowl on her face.
"Hmph, these disgusting men only know how to bully women, drug them, and try to force themselves on them; there's not a single good man out there."
Yang Fei muttered a Buddhist prayer and flattered Lin Xueyi, "It's all thanks to our Sister Xueyi, a veritable Guanyin Bodhisattva saving the suffering and needy in the flesh."
"Otherwise, the world would have one less pure woman."
Lin Xueyi sighed deeply, a worried expression in her eyes, "That woman has woken up after her bath; she'll be alright after some sleep."
"But our troubles have just begun, Ma Liu isn't someone to be trifled with. The people we've offended this time are likely to show up soon looking for trouble."
Yang Fei nodded, trying to reassure Lin Xueyi, "Good people are blessed with heavenly protection. If it comes to it, we'll call the police. I don't believe the cops will let those thugs do as they please."
Hearing Yang Fei's words only deepened Lin Xueyi's worries, and shaking her head, she said, "You've just arrived and aren't aware of the situation."
"Ma Liu and his kind are always starting fights and trouble on this street, never committing serious offenses, so even if the cops come, they'll only get administrative detention at most."
"For those of us in business, we seek fortune, not disaster. If you provoke them, they won't hesitate to set fires at your doorstep or splash your storefront with paint and feces."
"Who would want to invite such disgusting trouble?"
Yang Fei nodded but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Yang Fei's concerned expression, Lin Xueyi cautioned him, "Ma Liu is sure to come looking for trouble later, just bear with it."
"I've heard that behind Ma Liu is a backer with serious clout, named Wu Wei."
"That guy has a lot of influence, even connections inside the police force; you really shouldn't mess with these people."
Yang Fei sighed, shrugged helplessly, "I'll try, but you know how quickly my temper flares up; I'd even hit myself, let alone those kids if they go too far."
Lin Xueyi, amused by his bravado, laughed and cast him a sidelong glance, "Keep boasting, just don't pee your pants when the time comes."
"I'll try to talk to someone I know to plead with Ma Liu, in the hopes of settling things down, making a big deal into a small one."
"Really can't afford to provoke these people... hey, are you even listening to me?"
As she was speaking, Lin Xueyi suddenly realized that Yang Fei had stopped moving, his eyes fixed straight on the stairwell entrance.
She punched him annoyedly and turned to follow his gaze.
At that look, even Lin Xueyi was taken aback.
