Chapter 32: Lin Feng, I Want to Follow You
Page 1 of 3
“Huh?”
Lin Feng stood there, stunned and utterly bewildered.
His heart was filled with astonishment and confusion.
He had risked his life to save Qin Meng, yet instead of receiving even a word of thanks, he was being blamed and ordered to apologize to Wang Xingyu.
The crucial point was that Wang Xingyu had shoved Qin Meng aside to use her as a shield. He had meant to get her killed!
Lin Feng simply could not understand it.
Wang Xingyu was equally taken aback.
He had originally felt somewhat ashamed of shoving Qin Meng forward as a shield, worried that she would become angry with him. If that happened, he might never succeed in winning over this beautiful and captivating woman.
He had never expected Qin Meng to say such a thing.
A smug smile spread across his face, and he joined Qin Meng in condemning Lin Feng.
“That’s right, Lin Feng. This is all your fault! You clearly had the strength to drive away the leopard, yet you refused to act, nearly scaring me out of my wits—and almost getting Qin Meng killed as well.”
“Qin Meng is your girlfriend. How could you be so heartless?”
“Even if the two of you have already broken up, you still shouldn’t have done something like that.”
“You’re far too petty. Not only did you break up with Qin Meng over such a trivial matter, but you even tried to get her killed.”
“How could there be a man like you in this world?”
Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately turned around, intending to curse him out. But his throat hurt so badly that he could not make a sound.
All he could do was glare coldly at Wang Xingyu.
Even that alone reminded Wang Xingyu that Lin Feng possessed terrifying combat power and a ruthless nature. He had effortlessly dealt with Yuanshuang and then killed him.
Frightened, Wang Xingyu hurriedly backed away.
“Lin Feng, don’t do anything rash. I’m the city lord’s son…”
Cheng Xiangyu was speechless as well, but she felt deeply indignant on Lin Feng’s behalf.
She could imagine how furious Lin Feng must be at that moment.
If things went badly, he might lose his temper and kill Wang Xingyu on the spot.
After all, he had already killed Yuanshuang. It was obvious that he was not afraid to take a life.
She quickly said, “Qin Meng, Lin Feng risked his life to save you. Not only are you refusing to thank him, you’re blaming him—and even demanding that he kneel and apologize to Wang Xingyu, the very man who tried to get you killed. That’s completely unreasonable.”
“You’re criticizing him for not acting sooner. Didn’t you notice that his voice has already become hoarse, to the point where he can’t even speak loudly?”
“That proves the roar he used put tremendous strain on his throat. He wouldn’t have done it unless there was no other choice.”
He Tiantian also felt that Qin Meng had gone too far. Just to curry favor with Wang Xingyu, she had not only overlooked his attempt to kill her, but had even demanded that the man who saved her kneel and apologize to him.
He Tiantian could never bring herself to do something like that.
However, she did not want to offend Wang Xingyu, so she chose to remain silent.
After hearing Cheng Xiangyu’s words, Lin Feng felt somewhat better.
At least someone had spoken up for him and defended him.
What comforted him most was that Cheng Xiangyu had noticed his injured throat.

Originally, he had truly intended to attack and beat Wang Xingyu to death. But he calmed down and held himself back.
From Wang Xingyu’s expression, he could tell that the mushroom poison had not been completely expelled. On top of that, Wang Xingyu was beginning to show signs of parasitic infection.
The heavy rain had soaked his clothes through. Once night fell and the temperature dropped, his weakened immunity would make it even easier for the parasites to take his life.
There was therefore no need for Lin Feng to kill him personally and invite unnecessary trouble.
He would much rather watch Wang Xingyu suffer in agony, unable to live and unable to die.
With that thought, Lin Feng turned back toward Qin Meng.
She was pouting, looking thoroughly dissatisfied. When she noticed him looking at her, she even rolled her eyes.
Lin Feng secretly pinched himself hard and swore that this time he would sever all feelings for Qin Meng. From now on, he would never concern himself with whether she lived or died.
Then he said, “I intend to leave and find another place to stay. If you’re willing to follow my arrangements and work alongside me so that we can survive this ordeal together, you can come with me when the rescue teams arrive.”
Wang Xingyu smiled when he heard this.
Wonderful. Lin Feng had finally had enough and was leaving. The shelter he had painstakingly built would soon belong to him.
With that thought, he hurriedly said, “Lin Feng, you can leave, but you can’t take any supplies with you.”
Lin Feng snorted.
“Damn it, I obtained most of these supplies myself. What gives you the right to say I can’t take them?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed in front of Wang Xingyu and raised his fist.
Wang Xingyu was terrified and quickly retreated several steps.
Seeing this, Qin Meng immediately shouted, “Lin Feng, what are you trying to do?”
At the same time, she hurried over and shielded Wang Xingyu behind her.
The sight cut Lin Feng’s heart like a knife.
He really wanted to bring his raised fist down on Qin Meng.
In the end, he still could not bear to hurt the woman he had once loved so deeply. Instead, he said, “Fine. How about this? The five of us can divide the supplies here equally, but you have to give me your dagger and lighter.”
Qin Meng waved her hand.
“Impossible. I’m not giving you my dagger or lighter.”
“Then I’ll take all the supplies except for the few coconuts you brought.”
Qin Meng shook her head again.
“That won’t do either.”
Lin Feng snorted. “So there’s nothing to discuss?”
Qin Meng replied, “And what if there isn’t?”
Smack!
Lin Feng slapped her across the face.
Qin Meng froze.
She had never expected Lin Feng to actually strike her.
“You hit me?”
Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared at him.

Smack!
Lin Feng slapped her again and snorted.
“So what if I hit you? I’ve already made concessions, yet you keep pushing your luck. Move aside at once. Don’t stand in front of Wang Xingyu again.”
With that, he shoved Qin Meng aside and charged toward Wang Xingyu.
Wang Xingyu retreated several steps and hurriedly admitted defeat.
“Qin Meng, just do as Lin Feng says.”
He knew that Lin Feng was furious enough to strike even Qin Meng. The fact that he was willing to make concessions was already remarkable, so they should accept the offer while they could.
After all, Lin Feng was someone who dared to kill.
Seeing that even Wang Xingyu had said so, Qin Meng had no choice but to agree.
“Fine. But you can choose only one—the dagger or the lighter.”
She knew very well that these were the two most important supplies and that she absolutely could not give him both.
“All right. I’ll take the dagger. Throw it over.”
Although the lighter could make fire, the dagger could be used to turn wood into all kinds of wooden weapons.
Qin Meng was somewhat surprised. She had assumed Lin Feng would choose the lighter, but he had chosen the dagger instead.
Naturally, she had no objection and tossed the dagger straight to him.
Lin Feng then returned to the treehouse and inventoried the supplies. He divided them evenly into five portions, then took three coconuts, one piece of clothing, one bottle, and two unused sanitary pads.
Seeing this, Qin Meng could not help asking, “Lin Feng, what does a man need sanitary pads for?”
Lin Feng snorted.
“Sanitary pads can be used to bandage wounds, and they can also be used to start a fire. I chose not to take the lighter, so surely I’m allowed to take two sanitary pads, aren’t I? Besides, I found these supplies myself.”
Qin Meng was left speechless.
Afraid that Lin Feng might lose his temper again, Wang Xingyu quickly said, “Oh, come on, Qin Meng. Just let him take the sanitary pads.”
Qin Meng had no choice but to nod.
Lin Feng immediately rose and prepared to leave.
“Lin Feng, wait! Come and support me. I’m going with you!” Cheng Xiangyu called hurriedly when she saw this.
She picked up the formal dress she had previously been so frightened of and wrapped the three coconuts, one bottle, and two sanitary pads inside it, preparing to leave with Lin Feng.
“Huh?”
Wang Xingyu, He Tiantian, and Qin Meng stared at the scene in stunned disbelief.
They could not understand why Cheng Xiangyu, the pampered heiress of a wealthy family, would choose to leave with Lin Feng, a poor young man.
Besides, Lin Feng was so petty and had even struck a woman. He was clearly the kind of man who abused women.
Was she not afraid of being beaten if she followed him?
