“You, how did you do that?” Mu Xiuzhen asked, stunned.
Li Feng’s lips curved slightly. He picked up the deformed handcuffs and dangled them before Mu Xiuzhen’s eyes, saying, “Of course, I just pried them open like this.”
“You’re lying. These handcuffs are made of fine steel. How could you possibly pry them open?” Mu Xiuzhen said, still unconvinced.
Li Feng shrugged and said, “Right now, I think you should worry about your own safety. I told you, C-cup, fiery personality, I like that.” With that, Li Feng started walking towards Mu Xiuzhen.
Mu Xiuzhen’s expression changed, and she said to Li Feng, “Don’t come any closer, or I won’t be polite.”
Li Feng put on a lewd expression and said, “Oh, I’d love to see how you plan to be impolite to me.”
Mu Xiuzhen’s face turned cold. She rushed forward with a quick step, aiming a kick at Li Feng’s neck. This was a common and practical move in combat techniques. If the kick landed accurately, the opponent would surely pass out.
*Bang*
Her kick landed solidly on Li Feng’s neck, and a flash of joy crossed Mu Xiuzhen’s face. However, Li Feng continued to smile at her, then reached out and grabbed her right leg.
“Such a smooth, beautiful leg,” Li Feng said while stroking it.
“You…” Mu Xiuzhen angrily tried to pull her leg back, but she found it firmly held by Li Feng, unable to break free.
Li Feng smiled faintly. “Good speed, but lacking in strength. Still, for a girl, it’s not bad.”
Mu Xiuzhen snorted coldly and tried harder. Li Feng tapped her leg, pulled, and yanked Mu Xiuzhen into his arms. He chuckled, then suddenly leaned down and kissed her on the lips.
The kiss was like a burn to Mu Xiuzhen. She screamed and jumped back. Li Feng laughed heartily. “Tastes sweet, just a bit spicy.”
“You bastard…” Mu Xiuzhen pressed her lips together. That was her first kiss, stolen by this lecherous wolf.
“I’ll kill you.” She suddenly drew her gun from her waist and pointed it at Li Feng. Li Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected a mere prank on this little policewoman to provoke such a reaction.
Looking at the gun pointed at him, Li Feng said calmly, “Put the gun down. You’re a police officer. If you shoot, not only will it be a crime, but you’ll also be labelled as a disgrace to the police system.”
Mu Xiuzhen stubbornly shook her head, but her gun-holding hand trembled, and mist appeared in her eyes.
Li Feng sighed softly, his body suddenly lunged forward, arriving in front of Mu Xiuzhen. He gently tapped her hand with his right hand, knocking the gun to the ground.
Without her gun, Mu Xiuzhen felt as vulnerable as if she were stripped bare, her last line of defence crumbling. She collapsed into Li Feng’s arms, sobbing.
Now it was Li Feng’s turn to be stunned. Just moments ago, they were at odds, and now it had come to this.
Li Feng could only try to comfort Mu Xiuzhen. She sobbed in his arms for about ten minutes, then suddenly came to her senses, quickly pulling away from him. “Don’t think I’ll change my opinion of you. You’re still a shameless pervert.”
Hearing Mu Xiuzhen’s words, Li Feng couldn’t help but laugh wryly. He raised his hands and said, “Alright, I surrender.”
Just then, another officer came in and explained the full story to Mu Xiuzhen.
After hearing the officer’s account, Mu Xiuzhen’s face flushed, and her gaze towards Li Feng held less anger.
“Sorry, I misunderstood you,” Mu Xiuzhen said softly.
Li Feng’s lips twitched. “Just sorry? Don’t you owe me something?” He glanced at her red lips.
“Keep dreaming.” Mu Xiuzhen glared at him.
“See you, beauty.” Li Feng waved at Mu Xiuzhen and left the police station.
“Li Feng, don’t let me catch you!” Watching his figure disappear out the door, Mu Xiuzhen stared at Li Feng’s profile on the computer screen, muttering angrily to herself, “Li Feng… don’t let me catch you!”
With this little episode, especially after stealing Mu Xiuzhen’s first kiss, Li Feng was in high spirits. After spending over a hundred thousand at the pharmacy on a large quantity of medicinal herbs, he returned home joyfully to continue his body refinement.
Back at the villa, Li Feng changed into slippers and carried the heavy medicinal powder to the bathroom.
Though the villa wasn’t large, it had two floors. Li Feng lived on the first floor, while Hu Yuanyuan lived on the second, each with its own bathroom, so only Li Feng used the first-floor bathroom.
The bathtub was a thermostatically heated one. After filling it with hot water, Li Feng poured in the herbs and turned on the heating switch.
The pungent smell of sulphur spread out.
Li Feng didn’t mind at all. He stripped off his clothes and, ignoring the sixty-degree water temperature, lay fully in the bathtub.
Hot, stinging, burning…
A wave of searing pain, like being stabbed by knives or scorched by fire, surged from his skin to his brain.
Li Feng didn’t move, letting the pain assault his entire body.
Even for his second body refinement, the agony was almost unbearable.
The surrounding medicinal liquid enveloped Li Feng, like thousands of ants gnawing at his skin.
Li Feng endured it expressionlessly. To refine his body, he had to withstand the corrosion of the medicinal liquid.
He soaked in the bathtub for a full five hours. As dusk fell, Li Feng finally climbed out.
“Phew! Finally completed the first stage.” Thinking this, he quickly grabbed a towel, dried off, put on loose shorts, and stepped out of the bathroom.
With legs slightly bent and hands turned upward, Li Feng, bare-chested and in loose shorts, began practicing the Mysterious Heaven Body Refining Technique.
The Mysterious Heaven Body Refining Technique was a body-strengthening method, similar to Hua Tuo’s Five Animal Frolics and sharing similarities with Tai Chi. In his previous life, Li Feng had relied on this technique to forge a robust physique.
This time, as he practiced anew, every move and form of the Mysterious Heaven Body Refining Technique was etched deeply in his mind, making it easier to perform.
Tiger pounce, ape climb, deer leap, snake slither, crane soar, bear sway, rat roll…
Li Feng executed the movements fluidly, coordinating with his breathing. Within minutes, a dense layer of sweat beads covered his body.
