Chapter 124 Xiao Feng's Punishment
With her hand being held by a stranger, Xun'er naturally couldn't continue like this and immediately tried to pull her arm back.
"Don't move!" A voice entered Xun'er's ears, and at the same time, a tremendous force tightly restrained her arm, making it impossible for her to pull her arm away.
After trying several times, Xun'er finally gave up. Although she didn't know what the mysterious person in front of her was doing, she could only believe that the other party didn't have any ill intentions towards her, otherwise they would have already made a move by now.
"Alright, from now on you won't have to suffer from the torment of the strange fire anymore. Consider this compensation to you."
A moment later, a seemingly random sentence came from Xiao Feng's mouth. Gu Xun'er was even more confused when she heard this. Just as she was about to ask Xiao Feng what he meant, she suddenly realized that Xiao Feng's figure had disappeared at some point, along with Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground.
Only then did Gu Xun'er remember that there was that "villain" in her room before, but now he had been taken away, and she had no idea who he was.
"Hmph, this person is truly lucky. Otherwise, if I had known her identity, I would have made her pay for her actions!" she thought viciously to herself. To have someone break into her room in the middle of the night and give her such a fright—as the little princess of an ancient clan, when had she ever experienced anything like this!
"Who exactly is that older brother? And why did he take that 'villain' away? Do they know each other? Or does he want to punish him?"
"And what exactly did he mean by what he said before? No, the strange fire? He discovered the strange fire within his body?" Suddenly, Xun'er was startled as she thought of this.
She knew the importance of the strange fire within her body; it was the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Fire Ranking! If its information were to spread, it would surely attract countless powerful figures to fight over it.
She hadn't expected that her strange fire would be discovered so soon after she arrived at the Xiao family, which was definitely not good news.
So she began to sense the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her body, to see if it was still there. However, at this moment she realized that her entire body had become warm and comfortable, as if she were in a hot spring. The pain caused by the strange fire had completely dissipated, and even now, when she actively sensed the strange fire, she felt no pain whatsoever! Yet she could clearly still feel the strange fire within her body!
"Even Father was helpless, yet he somehow managed to cure Xun'er. It's truly mysterious." "And what did he mean by those words?"
"Should I tell my father about this?" she muttered to herself, sitting on the bed, somewhat lost in thought, her mind filled with hesitation.
At that moment, a blurry figure was etched into her heart...
Xiao Feng was unaware of Xiao Xun'er's changes, and he had no idea what consequences his actions today would have. As he said before, the reason he helped Xiao Xun'er was because he felt guilty, nothing more!
After all, he wasn't like some people with unusual fetishes, nor did he want someone as perverted as her. Gu Xun'er was beautiful, but that didn't mean anything. Xiao Feng had seen plenty of beautiful people; did something have to happen between them? Besides, why should he pay attention to Xiao Xun'er, who was still a child? Wasn't a mature woman more appealing? (*^▽^*)
Meanwhile, after leaving Xun'er's boudoir, Xiao Feng did not return to his room directly. Instead, he took Xiao Yan to a spacious area with a high volume of people in the Xiao family compound. Xiao Feng's fighting spirit surged out and condensed into a huge chain.
With a simple wave of his hand, Xiao Fengren tore Xiao Yan's clothes to shreds, and then the chains moved automatically without wind, binding the still unconscious Xiao Yan to a tree.
He chose to do this to vent his anger. He had witnessed Xiao Yan's entire life and knew exactly how old Xiao Yan was before his transmigration. Yet, this man in his thirties had committed such shameless, despicable, and utterly shameless acts!
Hearing these things didn't seem to elicit any other reaction from him; he just muttered a few curses and that was it. But when he witnessed it firsthand, seeing Xiao Yan commit such an evil act, the impact on him was far more than that. He was filled with uncontrollable rage! He was burning with fury, wishing he could beat Xiao Yan half to death and eliminate this scourge!
However, considering that he had taken away Xiao Yan's opportunity, he didn't do that and ultimately spared his life. But from now on, he and Xiao Yan are even. If he sees such a thing happen again, he will definitely eliminate him without hesitation!
Besides this, Xiao Feng had another purpose in doing so.
If he were to let Xiao Yan go today without punishing him in any way, without tying Xiao Yan to a tree and making his crimes public, who would know if he had truly repented? What if he dared not harbor any evil thoughts towards Gu Xun'er, but instead made advances towards other girls from his clan?
This situation might not be entirely unavoidable, so Xiao Feng's actions can completely prevent it from happening. At the very least, he can use this to sound the alarm for those parents and make them more vigilant.
Xiao Yan's every move naturally did not escape the observation of those who were interested. If Xiao Yan were to sneak out in the middle of the night and enter someone else's room again, as he did today, then Xiao Yan would be committing another offense, and what awaited him would likely be an even more severe punishment. He might even be scorned and have his reputation ruined as a result.
He's already done all this. If the Xiao family still doesn't take this as a warning and doesn't care about this matter, then he won't care what Xiao Yan does in the end. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he has already warned them.
Furthermore, the choice of location was also very meaningful. If he had chosen to deal with the matter nearby, by tying Xiao Yan up in Xiao Xun'er's courtyard or around her residence, then even if Xiao Feng did not reveal where Xiao Yan had gone or who he was planning to harm, the members of the Xiao family would still have something to guess. This would still have a certain impact on Gu Xun'er's reputation.
She is just a child, and a victim at that, and should not be treated like this.
