After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Having successfully evaded the patrol, Qu Qing looked up at the man behind her: "Do you know where my father is being held?"

Mu Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone sharp: "I've never even seen your father!"

Qu Qing frowned slightly. Why was this Lord Chen so different from the one she remembered?

"If you don't leave now, they'll be here soon!"

Qu Qing withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward.

The two searched aimlessly for a while but couldn't find Qu's father. Instead, they attracted the attention of the patrolmen.

"Who is there?"

Qu Qing was startled and stepped back, bumping into the man.

The man shrugged nonchalantly: "I knew it would be discovered."

Qu Qing glanced at him, looking quite relaxed, and said, "Is your mouth blessed or something?!"

Mu Feng: "I think so!"

"..."

As the people got closer and closer, Qu Qing pulled the man back.

“Someone escaped!”

The people behind them saw them and shouted.

"How to do!"

More and more people were chasing after her, but Qu Qing only knew how to keep running forward.

Seeing her wandering around like a headless fly, Mu Xi had no choice but to pull her to the waterfall.

"I've checked. This waterfall connects to the river below the mountain. If we jump down from here, we should be able to escape!"

As he spoke, he looked at the woman with feigned indifference, wanting to see what she would do.

Qu Qing hesitated. It wasn't fear she felt; it was worry about her father.

"My father hasn't been found yet, I can't die!"

Mu Feng crossed his arms and continued, "Your father will be fine for now, but if you are caught and taken back, it will definitely implicate him, and things might change then!"

The woman's eyes were red with anxiety, and she looked like a desperate rabbit, which successfully amused Mu Feng. He deliberately said these things to see what she would do next!

"..."

But he didn't expect this woman to be so fearless. She glanced at the waterfall and then gritted her teeth and jumped in.

The worst part was that, as she jumped, she pulled him down with her.

Mu Feng is an excellent swimmer and would be fine even if he fell from a height, but the woman beside him is not a swimmer and is holding him tightly.

He was initially angry that this woman was trying to kill him and didn't intend to save her, but when he heard her coughing as she choked on the water, he frowned and pulled her ashore.

"cough cough"

Qu Qing coughed violently while lying on top of the man, choking and feeling like vomiting.

"Are you trying to kill me?!"

Mu Feng pushed her away with disgust, stood up with a gloomy face, and patted his clothes.

"sorry!"

Qu Qing was pushed away and started coughing again as she lay on the ground.

Seeing that she was half-dead, Mu Feng looked down at her and immediately regretted saving her.

But thinking about it, killing her now wasn't out of the question, so he bent down to grab the woman's neck.

Qu Qing didn't hear any sound behind her, so she turned around.

Are you alright?

"..."

When Mu Feng saw the woman turn her face, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.

The woman on the ground no longer had pockmarks on her face. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with mist, her face was delicate and beautiful, her rosy lips were slightly parted, and even her originally dark face was excessively fair and tender!

His gaze shifted to the woman's rosy lips. Because of her violent coughing, saliva clung to the corners of her mouth, and her clothes were soaked and stuck to her body, outlining her curvaceous figure.

Previously, out of fear of being captured by the people of Mufeng Village, Qu Qing had been painting ugly pockmarks on her face and wearing simple clothes, wrapping herself up like a withered piece of wood.

Seeing this, Mu Feng was both excited and angry.

How dare this woman lie to me!

Seeing that his face had turned ashen, Qu Qing leaned in and asked, "Is Lord Chen injured?"

Mu Feng swallowed his displeasure and stared intently at her: "It's nothing, I just hurt myself when you grabbed me!"

Qu Qing: "..."

She carefully moved in front of the man: "Can I take a look?"

Mu Feng squatted down, staring directly into her eyes without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qu Qing thought that she had hugged him earlier and caused a misunderstanding, so she quickly explained.

"I know medicine!"

Mu Feng raised an eyebrow; he had struck gold!

He reached out and showed her his hand, which she had scratched when she clung to him desperately in the water.

Qu Qing's lips twitched when she saw the wound on his hand.

"This wound is really 'deep,' it would have healed completely if we had waited any longer!"

Mu Feng sensed the sarcasm in her words and withdrew his hand in resentment.

"I, Lord Rock Venerable, am used to such treatment. If that grab you just did were happening under normal circumstances, it would have been a workplace injury by now!"

Qu Qing opened her clear eyes and saw his arrogant expression, and couldn't help but doubt whether the man in front of her was really Lord Chen.

Mu Feng glanced at her affectionately and said, "Don't you know medicine? What should I do about the injury on my hand?"

Although Qu Qing was suspicious, she still got up and went to look for herbs by the withered grass.

Mu Feng sat leisurely on the ground, his eyes fixed on her slender figure.

Seeing her bend over, revealing her snow-white skin hidden under her clothes, Mu Feng's gaze became even more intense.

His gaze followed her clothes and fell upon the view of her chest, causing a surge of heat within him.

Qu Qing found the herbs she needed, unaware that the man had appeared behind her. As she stood up, she bumped into his firm chest.

She looked up and met the man's bloodshot gaze, shrinking back in fright. His eyes were too terrifying, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Mu Feng curled his lips into a smile and took a few steps back.

"It's nothing, it just hurt a lot, so I came to see if you found it!"

Qu Qing picked up the herbs she had just picked, rubbed them vigorously a few times until they became sticky, and then applied them to the man's hands.

"This can help fade your scars; there won't be any trace left after a day!"

Mu Feng accepted the application of medicine without any qualms, staring down at her.

His gaze was too intense, and Qu Qing frowned as she looked at him.

"Are you really Lord Chen?"

Mu Feng raised an eyebrow: "I am Chen Li, and Chen Li is me, the real deal!"

Qu Qing didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and continued to apply the medicine to him. Only after she finished did she let him go.

Her hands were soft, and she had a faint fragrance when she got close. When she let go, Mu Feng felt very uncomfortable.

"Since you are Lord Chen, can you rescue my father?"

Mu Feng crossed his arms, staring at her with ill intent: "I can save your father, but how will you repay me?"

Qu Qing was shocked. As a local official, this should have been his job. Why did he need to repay the favor?

Seeing her confusion, Mu Feng lowered his eyes: "What, you don't want to rescue your father anymore?"

"Of course I want to!"

Knowing that she was genuinely worried about her father, Mu Feng smiled even more smugly, a dazzling smile playing on his lips as he moved closer to her.

"You're unmarried, and I'm also unmarried. I'll rescue your father, and you'll become my wife, how about that!"
