Free Web NovelChapter 63: Chapter 61: The Three Little Bros
News of Zhou Chen’s utter defeat once again spread throughout Rongcheng Academy.
Having just secured a top-ten finish in the academy competition, he was once again instantly defeated by an auditing student. The uproar caused by such a contrast was immense.
After all, the academy competition was known as a cradle for geniuses. Anyone who made it into the top hundred was an elite, and those who reached the top ten were the elite of the elite.
Yet this elite, one of the top ten, was being crushed again and again by one of the academy’s auditing students.
Was the quality of the competition declining, or was the auditing student, Feng Hao, simply too strong?
If Feng Hao was really that strong, why hadn’t he participated in the competition?
If the quality of the competition had dropped, it would be a tragedy for the entire Ancient Cang Realm.
Countless suspicions and questions filled the campus, and speculation about Feng Hao’s true strength was rampant...
Meanwhile, Feng Hao had already led his crew into an Enhanced Cultivation Pod to have a secret discussion.
"I mean, Boss, is all this secrecy necessary?" Zhang Meng asked, confused, as he settled his bulk onto the floor.
Li Mufeng and Tu Xiaoshan were just as confused. Why did a simple farewell gathering have to be so clandestine?
Only Xi Yueyao seemed to have guessed something, so she wasn’t as surprised. But her mind was entirely on Feng Hao. She sat beside him with her head lowered, looking gloomy and completely lacking her usual fiery spirit.
"Since you all call me Boss, then as your boss, I can’t let you down." Feng Hao smiled and took out the Experience Pills he had prepared from his Spatial Ring. "Here are fifteen Tier Two Experience Pills, five for each of you. After taking them, you should be able to raise your genetic level by at least four levels."
"What?" The three of them were stunned. "Boss, you’re not kidding, are you?" they asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, how can there be pills that raise your level?" Li Mufeng said, finding it hard to comprehend.
Feng Hao smirked. "Why don’t you try one and see if it works?"
"That’s true. It’s not like the Boss would hurt us." Tu Xiaoshan didn’t hesitate, immediately swallowing an Experience Pill and starting to cultivate.
Zhang Meng and Li Mufeng paused for a moment before they too took an Experience Pill.
The results proved that the Experience Pills were the real deal. In less than half an hour, the three of them opened their eyes one after another. Without even taking a moment to exclaim in shock, they hurriedly took a second Experience Pill.
Then the third, the fourth, and right up to the last one.
Inside the cultivation pod, it was as if a magical energy black hole had formed, frantically devouring all the ambient magical energy...
While his three followers cultivated, Xi Yueyao started to get upset. "Stupid Feng Hao," she asked with a pout, "why don’t I get any?"
"Don’t worry, of course my Yaoyao gets some Experience Pills." Feng Hao chuckled and patted her head, then added mysteriously, "And I even have a special gift for you."
"Really?" Xi Yueyao’s eyes fluttered. She felt so happy she could burst. She didn’t even care what the special gift was; the word "special" was enough.
Seeing Xi Yueyao so happy, Feng Hao’s mood also brightened. "Oh, right, girlie, take me to your house later. I need to talk to your dad about something."
"Huh? So soon?" Xi Yueyao’s face flushed red, and she shyly lowered her head.
Feng Hao deadpanned, "Where is your mind going? I want to catch a ride with your sister to Five States Academy."
"Oh." Xi Yueyao sighed in relief, though she felt a little disappointed inside. She asked in surprise, "Aren’t you terrified of my sister?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"Are you kidding? She’s just someone I’ve beaten before. Why would I be afraid of her?" Feng Hao said irritably.
’Come to think of it, I did act a bit cowardly before to clear up that misunderstanding and fix my image, but things are different now.’
’After joining the Thief God Hall, that misunderstanding is pretty much impossible to explain. Even if I dragged my big bro Lin Luo out to vouch for me, people would probably just see us as partners in crime.’
’Since it can’t be cleared up, I can’t be bothered to dwell on it. Let her misunderstand if she wants to, as long as it doesn’t affect my revolutionary friendship with Yao Girl.’
Xi Yueyao pouted. "My sister is super strong now, you know. She might not lose to you."
"Tch! I wouldn’t be afraid even if there were two of her!" Feng Hao scoffed confidently. freewёbnoνel.com
"Keep dreaming! My sister is already Tier Three, and with our grandaunt teaching her, many of the Fourth-rank Mages in our clan are no match for her."
Feng Hao froze, surprised. "Whoa, she’s already Tier Three?"
"So? Scared now?" Xi Yueyao lifted her chin smugly.
"Aren’t you afraid Xiyue Frost might accidentally beat me to death?" Feng Hao couldn’t help but tease her.
"She’d dare?!" The more Xi Yueyao thought about it, the more scared she got. She said in a panic, "If she dares to lay a heavy hand on you, I’ll just start crying right in front of her."
"Hehe... Now that’s more like it. You should always be on your Brother Feng’s side," Feng Hao said, unable to stifle a chuckle.
Xi Yueyao quickly realized he was teasing her. Her face flushing, she started playfully throwing a flurry of Wing Chun-style punches at him. "You damn pill-pusher, who wants to be on your side? I hope my sister beats you to a pulp!"
"Oho, asking for a spanking, are you?" Feng Hao asked with a grin.
"All talk. Why don’t you actually do it?" Xi Yueyao giggled, then plopped herself across Feng Hao’s lap, stuck her bottom out, and looked up at him expectantly.
"..." Feng Hao was speechless. The corner of his mouth began to twitch.
’What the hell? Ever since their last heart-to-heart, this girl seemed to have become addicted to getting spanked. It left Feng Hao in an awkward spot, damned if he did and damned if he didn’t. What a pain in the ass.’
His three followers gradually came to from their cultivation. Seeing the scene before them, they all exchanged knowing glances and settled in to watch the show.
But the way the "scene" developed next was a little strange, making them extremely awkward. Helpless, they could only let out a few soft coughs to announce their presence and remind the pair that they weren’t alone.
"Huh?" Hearing the coughing, Xi Yueyao quickly sat up straight and said with a serious expression, "Um... I was just a bit sleepy, so I was resting for a moment. You didn’t see anything, right?"
"Right, right, we didn’t see a thing," Zhang Meng and the other two quickly nodded.
"That’s more like it." Xi Yueyao nodded in satisfaction, though inside she was a nervous wreck.
Feng Hao was equally mortified. He composed himself and asked, "So, how do you guys feel?"
"So fucking awesome!" Zhang Meng couldn’t hold it in any longer and blurted out.
"It was like a dream," Tu Xiaoshan said, still in a daze. He couldn’t believe what had just happened. Unlike the other two, he came from an ordinary family and had never even dreamed that such miraculous pills existed.
Li Mufeng was just as excited. His eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Feng Hao. He thought back to his decision to tell his family he wanted to join the Thief God Hall—it couldn’t have been a wiser choice.
"Good, I’m glad you’re satisfied." Feng Hao chuckled and nodded, then reminded them, "Remember, don’t tell anyone about this, or it could cause trouble. If your families ask, just say you met a reclusive master. You can make up the specific details yourselves."
"Understood." The three of them understood the gravity of the situation and nodded solemnly.
Feng Hao smiled in satisfaction, then took out three more bottles of Experience Pills. "You can only take five Experience Pills per tier, and the effect is better the higher your level. These are Tier Three Experience Pills, five for each of you, for when you reach Tier Three. Use your own judgment on when to take them."
The three followers were dumbfounded. They hastily accepted the bottles, too excited to speak.
Zhang Meng carefully placed the bottle into his Spatial Ring and swallowed hard. "Boss, you’re too great! By the way, are you into guys? This little bro here can top or bottom. Satisfaction guaranteed."
"..." Feng Hao was speechless.
Xi Yueyao was fuming. "You fatso, get the hell out!" she snapped. "You’re disgusting!"
"Alright, alright, I’m going, I’m going. You two continue." Zhang Meng gave them a meaningful smile and shot a look at Li Mufeng and Tu Xiaoshan.
Li Mufeng and Tu Xiaoshan naturally understood his meaning. Grinning from ear to ear, they happily made their exit as well.
