Let me go first?
Erika froze, instinctively crossing her legs.
The thugs raged. Dayum, this dude's posing like he's saving the world, and he's just here to steal our soup?!
My turf, my prize—you ain't riding over us!
"Kid, who you think you are? You worthy?"
Who am I? Jiang Feng crossed his arms, tilted his head at a 45-degree emo angle, and drawled, "Just a passing Blaziken Mask!"
Blaziken Mask?
Fire chicken face? Sounds tasty!
"Never heard of ya. What crew you with?"
Jiang Feng smirked, all high-and-mighty. "Say it and you'll quake—ever heard of returning the favor twofold?!"
Returning the favor twofold!
That's the signature of Gusu City's Murong Clan, one of Shenzhou's top ten families! Their Double-Edge and Mirror Coat are legendary—small fries like them couldn't mess with that!
The thugs paled, sobering up fast.
Erika's eyes lit up. He's a Murong Clan heir?! No wonder he's got a Combusken!
He saves me, I pay with my body, and I'm a rich Murong wife!
Lie back, spread 'em, moan a bit…
Strength, power, wealth—easy mode! No more grinding, no more groveling!
Her hard work packaging herself was for this moment!
No more faking strength—my big break's here!
"You say you're Murong? Prove it!"
The thugs weren't pushovers, squinting suspiciously.
A clan heir in Spikemuth's birdless bar street? Sus.
"Easy, bros—here's my ID, check it!"
Jiang Feng whipped out his ID, strolling closer.
Plot twist!
The ground under Machoke rumbled. Combusken's Dig ambush nailed it, yeeting it skyward!
BOOM!
Combusken burst from the dirt, claws flashing like phantom blades!
Post-Bulk Up, Master Scratch sliced Machoke's gut!
Pain exploded!
Machoke, caught off-guard, flew back, crashing, macho tears streaming!
Critical hit!
One-shot KO!
The sudden ambush left the thugs stunned. Then, a force hit their lower regions.
Crack…
"Foshan Shadowless Kick! Hiyah!"
Pain warped their faces, sending them flying 9.83 meters, crashing into a corner, out cold.
Pain past the limit—brains hit emergency shutdown.
Jiang Feng shrugged. Pokémon world humans? Built like Ash Ketchum—they'll live.
Taking out two nameless mooks with his protagonist aura? EZ clap.
This hero rescue? 100/100!
Erika, clothes disheveled, looking pity-me cute, stared at the chaos.
Her curvy figure and flashes of fair skin? Absolute banger!
"Miss, you okay?" Jiang Feng offered a hand.
"Fine, just… legs wobbly."
"Eep!" Erika yelped, stumbling into his arms, eyes flirty, gaze sparkling!
Score!
Hero rescue nailed—Erika's heart meter maxed! She's throwing herself at me!
Warm, soft jade in his arms—Jiang Feng's heart raced. Worth the clutch save!
Time to equip that gear later—jackpot!
He's this hot.
Post-rescue, next step: "My lord, I can only repay you with my body!"
TV tropes mandate it.
Plus, she's tipsy.
A drunk joke-flirt? Totally reasonable, right?
Old Ganges River vibes!
The mood's spicy—a smooch ain't too much, yeah?
Not at all. He leaned in…
—PS: Got locked in the dark room for edits—
Ding! Host… rewarded exclusive card—Beauty Card!
"Can I see your face, Blaziken Mask?"
A guy this buff? Gotta be hot, right?
Erika decided: if he's handsome, she's down to trade up, selling her first time for a Murong Clan ticket—live the goblin girl life.
If he's ugly? For a clan heir, she'd grit and bear it.
"Sure thing—ta-da!"
Striking a drip pose, Jiang Feng unmasked.
"Surprise, surprise!"
"Jiang Feng?!"
"It's you?!"
Erika's face morphed—shock, confusion, disbelief… then rage!
No clan heir—just a small-town punk!
"Jiang Feng, enough! Your acting's trash!"
"Kicking guys 10 meters? Who buys that?!"
"You've been stalking me!"
Her flirty vibe vanished. Erika shoved his hand away, fixing her clothes.
Ugh, not a prince—just a dirt-commoner!
No Murong Clan—just lies!
She'd checked—Jiang Feng's just a lucky nerd from Spikemuth!
Scammed!
My first kiss, my lost love!
What's happening? Jiang Feng was double-confused.
Hero rescue, and this is the vibe?
She was all lovey-dovey, ready to unwrap—am I that ugly?
Jiang Feng doubted his looks for the first time.
No way! He's naturally hot, plus Charm buffs—Spikemuth's top soft-rice face!
Not body-offering? At least a "next life, I'll be your Tauros" deal!
Jiang Feng raged. "What's your deal?!"
Saving her out of goodness, and she thinks I staged it?
What's this brain circuit?
"You're the one with issues, perv! Faking a rescue to get my attention?"
"I've read that trick in web novels!"
Erika snorted, head high, all ice queen!
"Making me fall for you? Impossible!"
She recalled Scyther, flicked her dress, and stumbled off.
Jiang Feng got it—she's just stubborn!
He stepped on her dress trail.
Long skirt's begging to be stepped on, right?
Riiiip—
"Eep!"
