"Wei Shuaizhong, what nonsense are you spouting, who's your designated woman?"

Mu Yanluo saw Wei Shuaizhong's disrespectful speech and angrily said.

"Isn't that so? Mu Yanluo, back then you could escape from my grasp, but now maybe not. Hahaha, sooner or later, I'll pin you down and ride you hard..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Feng swiftly grabbed Wei Shuaizhong's finger.

"Watch your words, or this finger will be useless."

With Jiang Feng's previous temper, just based on Wei Shuaizhong's audacity to speak so brazenly, he would have long punched his face and crushed his hand bones.

But now, he didn't do so. First, he didn't want to cause trouble for Mu Shuisheng and his wife. Second, before figuring out what shady dealings the Wei family was up to, he didn't want to alert them.

"Ahhhhh!! Let go! Damn it, let go!!"

Wei Shuaizhong cried out in pain, even though Jiang Feng didn't exert much force, he still grimaced in agony.

"Go back and wash your mouth, if you can't speak properly, I'll make you shut up forever."

Saying this, Jiang Feng temporarily released Wei Shuaizhong's finger.

"You damn bastard, how dare you act wild against me, Wei Shuaizhong, I..."

Wei Shuaizhong's eyes were red with anger. Since childhood, relying on having a thug of a father, no one dared to defy him in Long Family Village!

Yet now, a nameless outsider dared to lay hands on him?

Just as he was about to lose it, his phone suddenly rang.

Wei Shuaizhong took a look and saw that it was his father, Wei Yongbo, calling. He instantly cleared up half his mind.

He and his father weren't like before now; with their hard-won reputation, getting into a fight at the village entrance would have a severely negative impact.

"A momentary patience avoids major plans being disrupted," he could only swallow his pride.

"You brat, mark my words, don't let me see you in Long Family Village, or else..."

Leaving behind a fierce warning, Wei Shuaizhong departed resentfully, answering the call while driving away.

Only, before leaving, he didn't forget to glance greedily at Mu Yanluo again, eyes full of desire.

"He was nothing as a child, he's sure gotten worse with age!"

Mu Yanluo watched the tail of Wei Shuaizhong's car as it drove away, she angrily said.

Her previously good mood was disrupted by that guy.

Luckily, she knew Jiang Feng's abilities and was aware that with Jiang Feng by her side, no matter how much that guy covets her, he couldn't do anything to her.

"Indeed, he's audacious."

Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "Let's go!"

The two walked along the road and finally arrived inside the inner village.

Inside, it had really changed drastically.

Totally different from the impoverished backward village in Mu Yanluo's memory.

Somewhat like the suburban-rural fringe of the twenties and thirties.

At a glance, rural tile houses were predominant, but there were many newly built buildings, along with various new supermarkets, small restaurants, and general stores.

At the moment, many villagers were riding tricycles, bicycles, weaving through the village.

There were also native dogs lazily lying by the roadside sunbathing, and stray cats rummaging for food in trash cans.

Overall, Long Family Village has become neither village nor town, its old and new appearances mixed, an odd sight.

As Jiang Feng observed every person in the village, he found their foreheads indeed burdened with thick blackness, even worse than Mu Shuisheng.

No exception, whether adults or children!

This again confirmed his judgment; the whole village was under a stroke of bad luck, except for the Wei family, who was flourishing!

What exactly did the Wei family do?

Could it be... they swallowed all Wan Family's fortune, absorbing all the village's good fortune onto themselves?

Though this sounds like superstitious nonsense, dealing with the Five Gu Sect and Divine Fist Temple, Jiang Feng knows some strange people truly exist in the world.

These people can even control the dead and insects, it's not impossible for them to do even more sinister acts!

Not to mention, those dozen years Wei Yongbo spent away are a mystery in itself!

"Jiang Feng, what are you thinking about?"

Mu Yanluo noticed Jiang Feng hadn't spoken since entering the village and curiously asked.

"Nothing."

Jiang Feng still didn't share his thoughts with Mu Yanluo, continuing to wander around the village with her.

Soon, Jiang Feng discovered the architecture of the inner village also harbored issues!

Every building was almost never aligned in the traditional north-south orientation but arranged in a bizarre sequence forming a maze-like village within a town, town within a town.

It was as though these structures were intentionally arranged as a strange, inexplicable array!

Jiang Feng, although not skilled in feng shui or geomancy, instinctively felt this village-wide architectural array was unusual.

He unconsciously glanced at Mu Yanluo again, noticing that even within this short time, her forehead started showing hints of darkening!

It seems anyone entering the village will gradually be influenced by some unspeakable factors, revealing bad signs of change.

Only Jiang Feng himself, with his powerful Devouring Sky Demon Qi, remained invulnerable to such evils.

Presently, to prevent Mu Yanluo from being deeply affected by those sinister formations, Jiang Feng took the initiative to grasp Mu Yanluo's wrist.

Secretly transferring a wisp of Devouring Sky Demon Qi.

Unaware of Jiang Feng's intention, Mu Yanluo was startled seeing him suddenly grab her delicate hand.

Immediately, her cheeks flushed like blooming roses.

However, Mu Yanluo didn't resist, just lowered her gaze and obediently followed, letting Jiang Feng domineeringly lead her, matching her strides with his as she followed him forward.

After walking a few more paths, Jiang Feng was completely sure.

This inner village architecture was undoubtedly arranged into an array.

The Wei family! What a Wei family!

Deceiving villagers, secretly scheming, and meddling in the affairs!

Appearing benevolent, hypocritical, but in reality swallowing Wan Family's fortune, nurturing themselves, utterly heinous!!
