Chapter 175 There are robbers

Ye Xi'an returned home, and the gaze behind her was finally gone. Exhausted, she slumped onto the sofa and rolled around on it twice, whimpering.

Ji Jiangci skillfully stepped forward and took off Ye Xi'an's coat, shoes, and socks. Then he knelt down, picked up her feet, and kissed the instep of her foot.

Startled, Ye Xi'an immediately pulled her foot back, sat up, and shouted in a shrill voice, "What are you doing!"

"Wear slippers."

Ye Xi'an looked and saw that Ji Jiangci was indeed holding her slippers in his hand: "I mean, why did you kiss my feet?"

"It's so beautiful, I couldn't control myself." Ji Jiangci looked at Ye Xi'an with clear eyes: "Can't I kiss you?"

Ye Xi'an suddenly felt embarrassed under Ji Jiangci's gaze. At this moment, Bo Jing, who couldn't stand it any longer, snatched the slippers from Ji Jiangci's hand.

"Wear them if you can, otherwise go to the side," he muttered, pushing past Ji Jiangci and quickly putting the slippers on Ye Xi'an's feet. Ever since Ji Jiangci's life force was drained, he's been acting like a brainless peacock, constantly rubbing against Ye Xi'an. It's really enough.

"By the way, do you guys know that beastman named Gu Feng from earlier?" Ye Xi'an felt something was off about Gu Feng.

Lin Zhijing and the others said they didn't know him, but Yi Yang knew him a little.

He stood up from the sofa, his voice trembling with excitement: "You guys don't know him? Gu Feng! One of the top five single males on the Main God Star, an extremely rare mythical-level beastman!"

Ye Xi'an patted the somewhat agitated Yi Yang, trying to calm him down: "What is a mythical-level beastman?"

After Ye Xi'an patted his head, Yi Yang squinted comfortably and indeed stopped yelling: "His beast form is at the divine beast level. He is a Qilin. Look at the two horns on his head, those are Qilin horns."

Ye Xi'an silently thought to herself, "Wow, that's awesome." She had never seen a Qilin before; it truly was a divine beast.

"And our Marshal, her beast form is an Ice Phoenix, it's awesome."

"Beastmen whose beast form is a divine beast generally have frighteningly high talent. It's just that Gu Feng is young, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem for him to break into the top three."

Bo Jing hooked his arm around Yi Yang's neck: "It's not like you're the one who's being arrogant. Why are you getting so worked up?"

Yiyang Haba chuckled, "I just tend to crave what I lack most, and they're all my idols!"

Bo Jing scoffed: "The males who can rank on the list of the strongest singles are all more or less problematic, otherwise how could they not find females if they are so strong?"

"Take Gu Feng for example, he can't even retract the horns on his head. I bet the females would despise him to death if they saw him."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Ye Xi'an's expression out of the corner of his eye. Ye Xi'an was leaning against the sofa, seemingly deep in thought.

Bo Jing's heart skipped a beat. Could Ye Xi'an have taken a liking to Gu Feng? "An'an, what are you thinking?"

Ye Xi'an blurted out, "I'm wondering what a Qilin looks like."

Bo Jing's face darkened; Ye Xi'an had really taken a liking to Gu Feng.

*
Ever since their brief encounter in the elevator, Gu Feng's heart has been bound to Ye Xi'an. When he closes his eyes, all he sees in his mind is Ye Xi'an's face, and when he opens his eyes, he wants to rush to Ye Xi'an's house.

Ye Xi'an.

The name seemed to possess a magical quality, repeatedly etched into his mind.

He stood behind his own door, and through the peephole, he could see the tightly closed door across the street.

But that door has been closed the only time it's been opened, except when delivery drivers come or males go out to buy groceries.

Ye Xi'an never came out, but she was inside the house, perhaps sleeping soundly, or perhaps watering the flowers on the balcony.

Thinking of this, Gu Feng's fingertips went numb, and even the base of the pair of horns on his head that couldn't be fully closed felt slightly hot, as if the flame patterns were overflowing with magma, turning bright red.

He knew how shameful, even grotesque, he looked; his inferiority complex, like a vine, had long since entangled every aspect of his life.

Gu Feng took a deep breath, but the cold air did little to calm him down.

He had to do something; he couldn't just watch from afar.

Even just... a few more words would be fine. He needed an excuse, a reason to knock on that door.

His gaze swept across his simple room and finally landed on the salt on the spice rack in the kitchen.

In front of Ye Xi'an's house, Gu Feng clenched his fist, his palms sweating.

He walked to the door, raised his hand, but his knuckles stopped just before touching the door panel.

My heart was pounding so hard in my chest that it felt like it was going to break my ribs. What if she also felt unlucky?
What if the people around her...

He recalled the various men with distinct auras surrounding her in the elevator that day.

Everyone seemed more normal than him, more qualified than him to stand beside her.

But if he doesn't take courage for himself this once, he'll regret it every second from now on.

He knocked lightly on the door.

"Dong dong."

The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor.

Gu Feng held his breath, waiting nervously.

A faint noise came from inside the door, followed by approaching footsteps.

The lock turned, and with a click, the door was pulled open a crack.

Bo Jing appeared behind the door with a slightly puzzled look on his face. The man was dressed in comfortable home clothes, with his black, tousled hair hanging casually down his side, looking lazy and comfortable, and clearly indicating a happy family life.

"It's you?"

Bo Jing's previously puzzled pupils instantly turned cold, his brown eyes sharply sweeping towards Gu Feng at the doorway, filled with undisguised scrutiny and hostility.

He was about to close the door when Gu Feng grabbed the edge, and the two secretly began to struggle, causing the door to creak under the weight.

Ye Xi'an, who was playing a game inside, noticed the unusual situation at the door. Just then, her game character fell to the ground, so she went to the door.

"Who is it, Bo Jing?"

"No one!"

Bo Jing's back stiffened, and he quickly pushed the door with all his might, but he was no match for Gu Feng and couldn't close it at all.

He pressed himself against the door and said fiercely to Gu Feng, "I advise you to let go right now."

Gu Feng remained expressionless, effortlessly stopping Bo Jing from closing the door: "I need to speak with Ye Xi'an."

"You're talking nonsense! You've only exchanged a few words with my wife and you're already asking her for business! You should save your attempts to seduce her!"

"Who is it, Bo Jing?"

When Ye Xi'an reached the entrance, she saw Bo Jing leaning against the door, seemingly unable to close it. When she saw the large hand through the crack in the door, she immediately panicked. It was a robber trying to break down the door!
"Lin Zhijing!"

Ye Xi'an shouted, and Lin Zhijing immediately dropped the game in his hand and ran quickly to Ye Xi'an's side: "What's wrong?"

Ye Xi'an pointed to the door: "A robber is trying to break into our house!"

Gu Feng, who was outside the door, heard Ye Xi'an's words. His fragile little heart broke for two seconds. He knew that his current behavior was not good, so he immediately explained.

"I'm not a robber, I'm here to borrow something."

I spend four hours writing and only earn a few dollars a day. I'm so sad, I can't even afford to eat. Next month, I'm going to find a job and will start updating once a day. You can save up and read it later.
