Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Zhuge Qing was afraid that Wang Ye would kick him to death, so he broke free from Wang Ye's grasp and shouted loudly.

"..."

Hearing that Zhuge Qing had already surrendered, the king could no longer make any moves. He quickly put on a panicked expression and then helped Zhuge Qing up.

"Old Qing! I was reckless! But this is also your fault. Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, would I not have treated you like this?"

"..."

"You should have said so earlier?" Zhuge Qing wiped his mouth and glared at Wang Ye.

"Didn't you tell me to say so earlier?"

Zhuge Qing was furious.

I'm really angry.

That night, after barely managing to overcome his inner demons, he tried to go out and get something to eat, but before he could find anything to eat, Zhou Fengliu slapped him hard across the face.

Having just figured out what was going on and left Biyou Village, thinking everything was fine, Wang Ye suddenly appeared out of the woods and kicked her again.

awful!

The word "miserable" cannot fully describe what happened to him tonight.

What a disaster!

Neither Zhou Fengliu nor Wang Ye... are good people!

...

"Hey Lao Qing, why did you surrender so quickly? Why didn't you resist Ma Xianhong and the others a little longer?" Wang Ye quickly changed the subject when he saw Zhuge Qing's resentful look.

"Resist my ass... I already got beaten up by you and Lao Zhou even without resisting, if I resist... wouldn't you kill me?"

Hearing Zhuge Qing's words, Wang Ye raised an eyebrow: "What? You let Old Zhou beat you up once?"

"hold head high!"

Zhuge Qing told Wang Ye about his encounter with Zhou Fengliu.

Upon hearing that Zhuge Qing had been slapped by Zhou Fengliu, Wang Ye noticed what appeared to be a handprint on Zhuge Qing's left cheek. Seeing this handprint, he burst out laughing.

It has to be Lao Zhou!

They're even more ruthless than me!

"Is it that funny?" Zhuge Qing asked when he saw Wang Ye laughing.

"Hmm..." Wang Ye covered his mouth, trying to restrain himself.

"Sorry, Lao Qing..."

Wang also tried but failed.

Hearty laughter echoed through the woods.

Our Master Wang isn't a professional, after all. When he sees something funny, he can't help but laugh out loud, especially when he sees Zhuge Qing... he just can't hold back anymore.

Chapter 175 Zhou Fengliu: I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart? What a joke! (Second update)

Have you laughed enough?

Seeing Wang Ye laughing so hard his stomach was about to burst, Zhuge Qing spoke up with a displeased expression.

"Well... almost."

Wang Ye gradually toned it down a bit.

It's not his fault.

Anyone who comes across Zhuge Qing, the most popular girl in the world of supernatural beings, with such a huge handprint on his face, can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

"To be honest, I'm quite relieved that you were able to pull back from the brink and stop getting involved in the mess in Biyou Village... But, Lao Qing, Ma Xianhong treated you fairly well, so why did you leave like this? Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

"?"

"Guilt?" Zhuge Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

What guilt could he possibly have towards Ma Xianhong?

"Old Wang, I can only have a superficial relationship with Ma Xianhong, I can't get to know him well at all. He is indeed a good person, but he just has no sense of propriety."

Zhuge Qing stroked his chin, trying to explain the concept of discretion to Wang Ye:

"Take you, Lao Wang, for example. You are gentle and kind, and you can understand others as well as treat yourself well."

"Although Lao Zhou seems impulsive and acts without considering the consequences, he is actually meticulous and tactful. Take the Wang family incident last time, for example. While making an example of them, he also knew the company's maximum tolerance. Within the limits of tact, he dealt with the Wang family problem and withdrew unscathed."

“Ma Xianhong doesn’t have that quality. He doesn’t know how to act properly and doesn’t consider other people’s thoughts. Getting close to someone like that… could easily lead to disaster.”

"So I feel no guilt towards him. As for our relationship, it was just an exchange, not a friendship. I can leave Biyou Village with a clear conscience."

Hearing Zhuge Qing say this, Wang Ye felt somewhat relieved.

"That's right..."

"I remember you said before you rejoined the village that you always considered yourself first when making decisions, and that joining Biyou Village was also a way for you to break through that bottleneck..."

"How's it going? Have you broken through that bottleneck?"

Faced with Wang Ye's veiled question, Zhuge Qing scratched his head, glanced at Wang Ye, and replied:

"Thanks to Lao Zhou, I managed to break through by sheer luck."

Old Zhou?

Upon hearing this name, Wang Ye was taken aback once again.

Why is Lao Zhou here again?

When did these two people get together?

Wang Ye frowned, then looked somewhat helpless.

That Zhou Fengliu...

On the surface, he seemed indifferent to Lao Qing, repeatedly saying things like, "Everyone has their own ambitions, why are you always bothering with Lao Qing..."

But what is the reality?

Don't secretly fire shots... help Zhuge Qing break through his bottleneck without telling him.

what is this?

Is she all bark and no bite?

Wang Ye gained a deeper understanding of Zhou Fengliu's character.

Behind that formidable fighting god image lies such a delicate inner world!

Old Zhou is a really good guy; he's someone you can become close to...

...

At this moment.

Zhou Fengliu, the person involved, was completely unaware that his image in Wang Ye's mind had quietly changed.

Sharp tongue but soft heart?

If someone described him like that, Zhou Fengliu would definitely give them a good thrashing. He clearly has a sharp tongue but a heart of stone...

Every part of his body was rock hard!

As for helping Zhuge Qing break through his bottleneck, Zhou Fengliu could only say... he only gave Zhuge Qing two forced battles; what kind of help is that...?

...

"Quick! Find those outsiders! Take them down!"

"So they came here to cause trouble!"

"I, Kunzi, will never allow them to destroy our village like this!"

The villagers of Biyou Village, belatedly realizing that the outsiders from a few days ago were not good people, stood up one after another, looking as if they were going to protect the village.

Just as the crowd was filled with anger, strange groans and moans came from inside a house.

One of the villagers raised an eyebrow upon hearing the sound.

"?"

When has it been?

Do you even have time to fire the cannon?

The villager was just about to investigate to see which careless villager it was when, before he could even observe secretly, he saw the front door of the house open and a blond-haired man walk out.

The man greeted the group of villagers warmly, saying, "Hey, good morning, everyone."

"That sissy is one of them! Brothers, get him!"

The villagers recognized Qiu'er, a temporary worker from the Southwest region, and clamored for him to experience firsthand why chrysanthemums are so red.

"Oh dear, everyone is so scary."
