Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 23 Arguing, at the Hotel

Han Feng never expected that the pink-haired girl in front of him would be so fierce; even in his previous life, she was a rare sight!

Han Feng glanced at the girl before him and frowned. Although he had lived in the Douluo World for twelve years, he still couldn't accept hitting a woman. However, as a straight man, letting her off easily was clearly not something Han Feng could do.

After much deliberation, Han Feng finally turned his gaze to the three bandits and said, "Look, although this woman doesn't have any obvious gold or silver jewelry, just a few things she has on her would be enough for you to live comfortably for half a year!"

"How about this! Let's pretend I was never here. You can continue. You can rob her, as long as you don't kill her, you can do whatever you want, how about that?"

Han Feng's serious expression seemed genuine, but the three bandits were already terrified and wouldn't listen to Han Feng's nonsense. They just kept kowtowing, which made Han Feng feel helpless—was he really that scary-looking?

Han Feng made a gesture as if to offer further advice, but the girl beside him suddenly exploded, letting out a shriek. She pointed her slender finger at Han Feng and yelled, "How can you be so unreasonable? You can't win an argument with me, so you instigate bandits to bully me?!"

Han Feng rolled his eyes and sneered, "How can you speak so one-sidedly, little brat? You're a dignified Great Soul Master, yet you were robbed by three ordinary people. It's one thing if you don't feel ashamed, but if I hadn't helped you, you would already be dead. And now you're speaking ill of your savior. Who's more unreasonable here?!"

The girl was speechless, her face flushed red, and she couldn't think of anything to refute him for a moment.

Unfortunately for the three bandits, they overheard Han Feng say that the young woman was also a high-ranking Great Soul Master. Terrified, they scrambled to the woman's feet, crying and begging for mercy: "Grandma! We were blinded by greed! We couldn't recognize a gem! Please, Grandma, have mercy and let us go! We'll never dare to do it again!"

The girl had no time to pay attention to these three ordinary people, and shouted, "Get lost!"

The three bandits were as if they had been granted a pardon, and they actually ran away.

Han Feng watched this scene with awe.

"In that case, I'm off too, bye-bye!"

Just as the young girl didn't want to bother with the three bandits, Han Feng didn't want to get entangled with her either. This girl was clearly a pampered young lady, and Han Feng had no time to deal with someone with such princess syndrome.

Seeing that Han Feng turned to leave without the slightest hesitation, the girl was both angry and annoyed—it was one thing for him to be speechless with his words, but he was also ignoring her like this?

"Han Feng, right!"

"You wait, I will find your home, I will find your family, and I will make you pay a thousandfold for what you did to me! I will make you regret this, I will make you cry and apologize to me!"

Any man with even a modicum of emotional intelligence could hear the sob and sorrow in the girl's voice at this moment. In most cases, all it would take is to soften his tone and apologize, and everything would be fine. A few more gentle words of comfort might even spark a romance.

Unfortunately, Han Feng didn't belong to this category—he took it seriously.

The girl before him was clearly from an extraordinary family. The thought that Zhang Lingling and Han Dang would be in danger because of a single sentence she had uttered earlier filled Han Feng with rage. A flash of fire streaked past, and in the blink of an eye, Han Feng was standing before her. A thick aura of malevolence enveloped the girl, and Han Feng murmured in an extremely suppressed voice:

"Do you want to die!?"

Han Feng was not joking. As the son of the person in charge of the Great Soul Arena, Han Feng had been mingling in the Great Soul Arena of Stan City for a long time. Although he had never actually killed anyone, the murderous aura on his body was real. Just a simple burst of aura was not something a young girl could withstand!

The scorching flames kept getting closer to her, and the girl immediately panicked. She could feel Han Feng's killing intent!

This boy in front of me actually wanted to kill me because of a joke!?

At the same time, two figures in the shadows trembled, their forms gradually fading away, slowly approaching the two men in a place undetectable to Han Feng and the girl.

The girl found it unbelievable. She just wanted Han Feng to apologize to her. After all, she was a girl and had never been wronged at home. But nothing went smoothly for her once she left home. She thought Han Feng would go along with her, but he didn't. He even threatened to kill her at the drop of a hat!

The girl felt more and more aggrieved as she thought about it, and the next moment, she felt her eyes sting and burst into tears!

"Waaaaah!"

Large tears streamed down the girl's face, her tear-streaked face a pitiful sight. She knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

The two hidden guards who were secretly approaching froze, almost giving themselves away!

Han Feng was also taken aback. He didn't understand why the girl suddenly cried, but the girl's tears were an unreasonable and orderly treasure. As long as it appeared, no matter what the reason was, you were wrong!

Seeing the girl crying so heartbrokenly, Han Feng's imposing aura faltered, and his anger subsided. Just as the two hidden guards thought Han Feng was about to apologize, he coldly said, "What are you crying about! Like a girl!"

"She's a girl!"

"Tsk..."

Han Feng's face stiffened upon hearing this—what he said was absolutely right!

Upon thinking of this, Han Feng involuntarily withdrew his murderous aura and said, "Who gave you the right to threaten me with the safety of my family? Anyone else would be eight-tenths cooked by now!"

Seeing that Han Feng was actually blaming her, the girl forgot about crying for a moment. She sniffled, glared at Han Feng with her big, red eyes, and asked angrily:

"So you're blaming me?! Was I threatening you? Don't you know girls are made of water and need to be cherished? Can't you apologize? Are you an idiot?"

"Forehead..."

Han Feng was momentarily at a loss for words to refute the girl, so he could only shrug and, adhering to the principle that a good man doesn't argue with a woman, said insincerely, "Okay, okay! I'm an idiot! I apologize! I'm sorry! I'm a moron!"

"That's way too perfunctory. At least you should... Wait! Where are you going?! Wait for me!"

The girl was about to scold Han Feng when she saw him turn to leave after saying those words. She shouted, trying to make him stop.

To everyone's surprise, Han Feng not only didn't stop, but actually sped up, leaving only the words, "Grandma, I don't have time to serve you. I'm in a hurry to get to Soto City. It's getting late, and I don't want to sleep in the open!"

Upon hearing that Han Feng was also going to Soto City, the girl was taken aback, then shouted and ran up to him, "Wait! I want to go to Soto City too!"

Han Feng didn't hear what the girl was saying; he just kept throwing her towards Soto City, forcing the girl to use her soul skill to barely keep up with him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Half an hour later, the girl stood panting beside Han Feng. Han Feng looked at her helplessly, not understanding why she insisted on following him.

The girl glared angrily at Han Feng and snapped, "Why are you running so fast?! Did a dog chase you or something?!"

"Are you sure? You were the one chasing me the whole time..." Han Feng said hesitantly, his expression strange.

The girl's face stiffened instantly. Han Feng, afraid she was about to cry again, quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's find a place to stay! Miss probably doesn't want to sleep on the streets, does she?"

The girl snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with Han Feng, and headed straight for the most bustling part of the city.

Han Feng had intended to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, the girl grabbed him and dragged him away.

Upon arriving at the city's most luxurious hotel, the girl glared at Han Feng warily and warned, "Let me tell you, don't even think about anything frivolous!"

Han Feng rolled his eyes, looking at the girl—he had to admit, she was beautiful, but she hadn't fully blossomed yet. She was a beauty in the making, destined to bring ruin to the country someday, but for now...

Meeting Han Feng's gaze, the girl's radiant smile flushed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Han Feng directly tell the receptionist, "Two rooms, thank you!"

"What do you mean!? You look down on me!?"

The girl's face changed like turning the pages of a book; one second she was radiant and beautiful, the next she was furious. She could be wary of Han Feng for all sorts of reasons, but Han Feng couldn't ignore her; after all, she was a beauty!

"One room! Thank you!"

The girl spoke stiffly, throwing out a bag of gold soul coins, staring intently at the receptionist with unwavering determination in her eyes.
