After Lu Lu sarcastically jabbed at Lin Feng a few times, she left without looking back. However, Lin Feng was convinced he hadn’t done anything wrong. After all, Lu Lu had admitted herself that she killed two people at the bar over a trivial matter, so he concluded he wasn’t wrong; Lu Lu was just an unpredictable woman.
Yet, after watching the morning news the next day, Lin Feng began to doubt his own judgment.
The news reporter covered a murder case that occurred at the bar Lin Feng and Lu Lu frequented. The bodies of a pair of thugs known as the "Xiong Brothers" in the underworld were found. When the forensic doctor conducted the autopsy, it was discovered that neither had obvious external injuries, and both had a fatal wound at the top of their heads—just a small puncture.
Clearly, the Xiong Brothers were killed by someone skilled with a needle. If the Jiangzhou Police thoroughly investigated this case, they might trace it back to Lu Lu! What surprised Lin Feng, however, was that the Jiangzhou Police announced that the Xiong Brothers had a criminal background. They had a history of alleged rape charges and were wanted by the police. Recently, they had fallen out with several small gangs over smuggling disputes and had been on the run, evading both criminal and law enforcement pursuit, meaning Jiangzhou had classified this case as gang vendetta!
Subsequently, the Jiangzhou Police decisively declared that they would conduct a thorough inspection of gang activities to prevent similar cases from happening!
This meant that although there were clear leads, the police wouldn’t spend much effort investigating the murder case... Lin Feng understood the implications—this meant the Xiong Brothers were essentially already marked as dead men, with no family ties, which is why the Jiangzhou Police dared to overlook it!
In other words, the two thugs Lu Lu killed were actually heinous villains!
After reading this part of the news, Lin Feng instinctively gazed deeply at Lu Lu, realizing she was also looking at him with profound meaning.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, pondering if Lu Lu was wrong to kill those guys if they were known to be bad in advance?
For an ordinary person, what Lu Lu did would certainly be wrong, because an ordinary person cannot transcend the law, let alone replace it in judging people!
However, Lu Lu, like Lin Feng, couldn’t be considered an ordinary person anymore!
"If it were me, knowing that the person offending me was such an unforgivable criminal, I might find a way to make him disappear from this world!" Once Lin Feng understood his own thoughts, his dissatisfaction with Lu Lu dissipated.
"Seems I misunderstood you!" Lin Feng said to Lu Lu with a slightly flat tone, though there was a hint of apology in his words.
"Misunderstood? Perhaps not quite!" Lu Lu smiled lightly, her tone indifferent. "You’re right. Indeed, I’m actually a she-devil; killing without batting an eye is just routine. If I don’t kill a few people a day, I feel itchy-handed!"
Lin Feng chuckled, knowing Lu Lu was just echoing his previous words sarcastically.
"If you’re still feeling uncomfortable, I can apologize to you!" Lin Feng seriously gazed at Lu Lu’s face and whispered.
"No need!" Lu Lu waved her hand generously, looked at Lin Feng earnestly, and suddenly said with profound meaning, "I don’t need your apology; I want you to owe me, only when you remember that you owe me will you seriously consider my thoughts!"
"Um..." Lin Feng didn’t quite grasp what Lu Lu meant, but he understood that she didn’t want him to apologize.
Ning Aoxue and Su Zi were initially somewhat wary of Lu Lu. But the minds of women are strange; upon discovering Lin Feng’s poor attitude toward Lu Lu, their demeanor completely reversed, becoming quite amiable with her... The clothes Lin Feng deliberately took Lu Lu to buy were tossed into the storage room by the two women. They first found suitable clothes for Lu Lu temporarily and then ordered her a batch of high-end brands online... They were so busy that they didn’t even have time for breakfast.
Breakfast was prepared by Lin Feng himself. If he was alone, he might just grab a sandwich, or even skip it entirely, but with Lu Lu around, he felt obliged not to neglect her, so he personally cooked a few simple dishes and made porridge.
During the meal, Lin Feng noticed that Lu Lu barely ate anything and sighed, knowing her picky palate probably couldn’t tolerate his crude cooking skills.
There was no helping it; Lin Feng rarely cooked, following recipes from the internet, resulting in mediocre taste.
"Don’t overthink! My appetite has always been small..." Lu Lu seemed to notice Lin Feng’s thoughts and laughed as she explained, "It’s not just your cooking; even if my grandfather, with eighty years of cooking experience, cooked personally, I wouldn’t eat much!"
"Eighty years of cooking... Old Lu is that old?" Lin Feng asked, incredulous, glancing at Lu Lu—wasn’t she exaggerating? Lu Yuming seemed only about seventy, how could he possibly have eighty years of cooking experience.
"Looks like you don’t get it!" Lu Lu said smugly, "You have to understand, cultivators pursue longevity; health is the basics. Actually, my grandpa is already ninety-eight this year! So, let me ask you, how old do you think I am this year?"
Lin Feng paused for a moment; he really had no idea Lu Yuming was already ninety-eight. Such anti-aging methods were tremendous! Furthermore, Lu Yuming at ninety-eight could still be energetic, truly remarkable!
Then, Lin Feng glanced at Lu Lu, his mind feeling peculiar—was this girl not what she appeared, actually four or fifty years old?
If that were the case, he’d indeed been a bit disrespectful towards her!
"Are you over forty?" Lin Feng cautiously asked, looking at Lu Lu’s face.
Lu Lu’s expression suddenly fell, glaring at Lin Feng with grievance, she pouted and softly scolded, "What are you saying! I’m not even eighteen yet, okay! I wanted you to guess my age to tell you I’ve reached Innate cultivation level, even another thirty years won’t age me much, that’s the benefit of cultivation!"
"Oh..." Lin Feng realized, almost thinking Lu Lu was four or fifty earlier, clearly he was overthinking... cough, if Lu Lu were four or fifty, Lin Feng might feel that leaning into her embrace the night before wasn’t romantic at all, but rather a bit horrifying!
