Lin Rui and Zhang Feng could finally go home.
They hadn't rested for two days.
Zhang Feng, being a Daoist cultivator, wasn't too bothered, but Lin Rui was just an ordinary person.
With all the tricky work at hand completed, fatigue started to overwhelm her.
Even though some unspeakable events happened between the two at the branch office.
Lin Rui still invited Zhang Feng to stay over at her place until he got his dormitory.
Of course, it's likely that the dormitory may never be allocated.
But Zhang Feng and Lin Rui overlooked one thing.
They realized it as soon as they entered the neighborhood.
From afar came a shout:
"The Demi-Immortal is back!!"
Both Zhang Feng and Lin Rui froze for a moment.
"Demi-Immortal?"
"What Demi-Immortal?"
But the events that followed immediately answered their questions.
"Wham!" In an instant, the two of them were surrounded by the neighborhood residents.
Each and every resident looked at Zhang Feng with eyes shining bright!
"Demi-Immortal, I heard you calculated where those two thieves were just by counting with your fingers?"
"Demi-Immortal, we're counting on you! Our things got stolen, and we had lost hope, but you managed to calculate where they were?"
"Demi-Immortal, which mountain did you come down from?"
"Demi-Immortal, can you help me calculate? I've lost something too, I can't find my husband!"
"Demi-Immortal..."
Seeing the enthusiastic crowd, Zhang Feng was dumbfounded.
Goodness, all he did was do a little finger-counting at Lin Rui's place and caught two burglars, and now he's a Demi-Immortal?
No, rumors spread too quickly, don't they?
Meanwhile, Lin Rui stood on the side, covering her mouth and giggling as she watched Zhang Feng being surrounded.
Zhang Feng originally thought that resurrecting corpses was too outlandish and should be hidden from others.
But to think that even simple finger-counting could cause such a fuss?
With a stiff expression, he put on an awkward smile and tried to calm the crowd:
"No, everyone.... I'm not a Demi-Immortal... I don't know how to fortune-tell...."
"Believe in science, please!!"
Believe in science...
Lin Rui felt that anyone's words might be credible, but not Zhang Feng's.
All Zhang Feng could do was continue to deal with these enthusiastic residents:
"Everyone, listen to me, the thief wasn't found due to my calculations, but because our branch office had prior intelligence, thus allowing us to solve the case!"
"It's really not my calculations, I don't have that kind of ability..."
"Please, you must believe in science..."
"Your husband isn't lost, it's just that you can't find a mate, maybe try losing some weight?"
"What's it got to do with me whether your cat gives birth or not?!"
"Why would your village dog getting pregnant concern me?!"
Zhang Feng was almost going crazy.
He nearly wanted to use the Cloud-Walking skill to flee immediately!
But then he thought.
Would it be inappropriate to say "believe in science" and immediately soar on a sword?
Especially seeing Lin Rui outside the crowd watching him with a mischievous smile, Zhang Feng was furious.
This woman only knows how to watch the spectacle, doesn't she know to help?
So, Zhang Feng's eyes darted around and then he said:
"Alright, I'll admit I did calculate it, but..."
"My skills are shallow, you can go find my master!"
"My master is right here, Lin Rui, Forensic Doctor Lin!"
The smile on Lin Rui's face instantly vanished!
Not right!
The smile didn't disappear; it shifted to Zhang Feng's face.
Indeed!
The master is here, the master's calculations must be more accurate than the disciple's!!
Finally, the tables turned!
Lin Rui was immediately surrounded by the enthusiastic residents.
And Zhang Feng managed to squeeze out from the crowd, expressing great satisfaction with this situation.
He didn't even care about Lin Rui.
Amid the cries of "Zhang Feng, you bastard!!!" "Zhang Feng, you scoundrel, you got me in trouble!!!" "Zhang Feng, if you dare, don't leave!!!" from Lin Rui.
Zhang Feng, hands in pockets, returned straight to Lin Rui's home.
Having been there once before, Zhang Feng naturally remembered.
What does it matter if he doesn't have the key?
He can even summon the souls of the dead from the Underworld.
Could he not let himself into Lin Rui's house?
When the furious Lin Rui, assisted by her colleagues from the branch, returned home.
To see Zhang Feng acting like he owned the place, wearing slippers, sitting on the sofa, enjoying Lin Rui's eighty-inch laser TV, and munching on Lin Rui's snacks hidden in the cabinet, feeling utterly at ease.
Seeing Zhang Feng so relaxed and at ease.
Lin Rui exploded:
"Ah——!!!"
"Zhang Feng, I'll kill you!!!"
She kicked off her shoes and pounced towards Zhang Feng like a hungry tiger.
"Whoa!"
The sudden change startled Zhang Feng.
Lin Rui seemed like she had practiced Lightweight Skill; she flew over directly from such a distance from the shoe cabinet!
It wasn't until Lin Rui had mounted him, pinning him down on the sofa, that Zhang Feng truly experienced the fierceness of the women from the lowlands!
She was too fierce!
Little fists like raindrops landed on Zhang Feng's strong chest.
Lin Rui pinned Zhang Feng beneath her, attacking wildly.
She even shouted:
"Zhang Feng, you spineless scoundrel!!!"
"Clearly you are the Demi-Immortal, why push the blame onto me?!"
"I even covered for you at the branch, hiding your secrets, and yet you left me to fend for myself?!"
"You jerk!! You took all the benefits!"
The more Lin Rui spoke, the more emotional she became, as if growing angrier.
She yanked off her jacket, glaring furiously at Zhang Feng:
"Let me tell you, today, only one of us will survive!!!"
But the moment Lin Rui said this, she froze.
Perhaps because the exertion of hitting Zhang Feng made her sweat and she simply pulled off her jacket.
But in this summer heat, underneath her jacket was just a plain white sports bra!
Her slender waist and smooth, jade-like shoulders were fully exposed to the air.
From this angle, her proud cleavage faced directly towards Zhang Feng's head!
Lin Rui's delicate fists had little impact, allowing Zhang Feng the chance to take in the view.
Suddenly he quipped:
"Director Lin, I didn't expect you to have such a great figure!"
"Poof!" Lin Rui's face immediately turned beet red.
About to scold Zhang Feng for being a rogue, she suddenly sensed something off.
Thinking, "Zhang Feng is a forensic doctor, not a detective—how could he have a gun? Even if he did, he's only wearing shorts now, would he still carry such a thing?"
The next moment, Lin Rui's pupils shrank suddenly!
She understood.
In the instant of realization, instinct drove her to try standing up from Zhang Feng, but somehow her body felt weak, slumping over him loosely.
"Hiss——" The unexpected change made Zhang Feng involuntarily take a sharp breath.
"Um... Director Lin, you..."
Just as Zhang Feng was about to say something, he heard Lin Rui's unsteady breath saying:
"Don't talk, kiss me!"
Lin Rui willingly initiated contact with Zhang Feng?
Zhang Feng was awestruck!
Are the lowland tigers really this uninhibited?
As a forensic doctor, Zhang Feng knew he mustn't go against a woman's wishes, so...
"Ring ring ring," the urgent sound of the phone interrupted.
Furious, Lin Rui fished out her phone, saw the caller ID, and answered the call:
"Hu, is it you again?!!"
