NOVPUBChapter 132
Meanwhile, in another room, Chen Fan was leisurely enjoying his meal, savoring his peaceful moment.
Beside him, Zhu Yeqing was dutifully picking food for him. She had already grown used to this kind of life.
Chen Fan took a crunchy bite of a bone, while across from him, Liu Feifei stared at him with wide eyes.
“Brother Chen Fan, is that big bone tasty? It looks so delicious.”
“It’s not. It’s terrible.”
“Huh? If it’s that bad, then stop eating it. Let me have a bite instead. I skipped dinner—I’ve been trying to lose weight, but now I’m starving.”
Zhu Yeqing held back a laugh. Honestly, this was the most adorable girl she had ever seen.
Chen Fan took another bite of scallions and casually asked, “You want this?”
“Silly, you can’t eat it like that, Brother Chen Fan. Scallions need to be paired with egg sauce! See, you’re not prepared at all.”
Damn it. I was just randomly snacking because I was bored. Why do you have so many opinions?
“Fine, fine. What do you want to eat?”
Liu Feifei scooted closer. “That big bone! You wasted so much meat on it. Seriously, you can’t be so wasteful.”
Chen Fan handed over the half-eaten bone.
Liu Feifei happily took a few big bites before grabbing the knife on the table and cutting it open.
“See? The marrow inside is the essence! Bone marrow is super tasty—it’s got the best flavor.”
Chen Fan instantly became alert. “I really shouldn’t have untied you.”
“Relax! I know how to behave. Once I’m full, I’ll tie myself back up. You don’t have to do it for me. Hehe, I even learned how to do it properly.”
What the hell? That’s called hojojutsu, isn’t it? That technique’s practically a lost art. Damn it. It’s from that mysterious island nation. This is getting ridiculous. Forget it, not worth thinking about.
After eating several in a row, Chen Fan hesitated as he looked at the piece in his hand. Then he glanced at the pile of leftovers on the table.
Liu Feifei beamed at him. “Brother, I think the one you have must be really delicious.”
“Here, take it! Take them all! Just eat and stop bothering me.”
Liu Feifei immediately snatched it up and happily started gnawing away.
Chen Fan rubbed his temples and sighed. “I’m starting to regret this. Maybe I should just let her go. It’d be a lot less of a headache.”
Zhu Yeqing stifled a laugh. “Young Master, I think this girl is really adorable.”
“No, no, Sister, you got it wrong! I’m sexy and adorable! Please don’t just say ‘adorable.’ Also, I’m an invincible sexy fairy!”
“Yes, yes, you’re a fairy. You’re the most beautiful.”
Chen Fan felt his head throbbing.
Damn it. Any normal kidnapper would have gone broke feeding her by now.
“No one ever told you that you eat way too much?”
Liu Feifei grinned. “Yeah, I do. But it all goes to the right places. Want to hear a secret? But you can’t tell anyone, okay?”
Chen Fan nodded.
Liu Feifei stood up and tugged at her waistline, adjusting her clothes.
“Actually… my figure is amazing! But my manager won’t let me go for that image. She says I should stick to the ‘pure and innocent’ route.”
What the hell.
This was classic manga logic body proportions.
Chen Fan immediately recalled a certain meme—first, a cute girl in loose clothing, blushing shyly.
Then, the moment she pulls on her clothes—boom, transformation complete.
Zhu Yeqing quietly gave a thumbs-up. “Mmm. That’s impressive. Do you know martial arts?”
No shit. Of course this woman knew martial arts. And her skill wasn’t low either. This chick was straight-up a genius.
Chen Fan was almost certain she was modeled after a wuxia character template.
The looks of Xiaolongnu, combined with the talent of Wang Yuyan.
TN: [Xiaolongnü (小龙女), a character from The Return of the Condor Heroes (《神雕侠侣》), possesses an ethereal, almost otherworldly beauty, with a cold and distant aura that makes her seem like a celestial maiden untouched by the mortal world. Dressed in flowing white robes, her skin is as fair as snow, her features delicate and refined, and her demeanor serene yet unapproachable. Her quiet elegance and icy temperament add to her charm, making her seem like a goddess who has descended from the heavens.
In contrast, Wang Yuyan (王语嫣), from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils (《天龙八部》), is not a martial artist herself but is an unrivaled genius in martial arts theory, capable of identifying and explaining nearly every technique in existence despite never having practiced them. With an encyclopedic knowledge of martial arts, she can instantly analyze styles, weaknesses, and countermeasures, making her a living archive of wuxia combat techniques, though ironically lacking the ability to apply them herself.]
And what talent, exactly?
The ability to master anything after seeing it once. This woman’s power progression in the later stages was terrifying. The ancient martial arts system in this world was quite subtle—internal energy was the foundation of everything.
But in reality, martial techniques were just as bizarre. If you refined a technique to a certain degree, it could become incredibly powerful on its own.
Just now, Liu Feifei had been using a dining knife—a tool with barely any sharpness—yet she had sliced through a bone effortlessly. And most importantly, there wasn’t a single unnecessary mark on the table.
She had cut it cleanly, precisely, with an accuracy that was simply inhuman. Her strength, precision, and control were all at the absolute peak.
“I do! Back when I was filming wuxia movies, I actually studied martial arts. I even know about ancient martial arts. I trained a little too.”
Chen Fan squinted. “And what did you learn?”
“The Five Animal Play! How about that? I just practiced on my own. Hehe.”
Zhu Yeqing was shocked. She glanced at Chen Fan. Why the hell didn’t you write this down in your journal?!
She reached out to check Liu Feifei’s internal energy, and the moment she sensed it, she was completely stunned.
What kind of ridiculous talent is this?!
But Chen Fan hadn’t written anything about it in his journal because, frankly, he didn’t think it mattered.
Martial arts? Big deal.
He knew martial arts too, and in his mind, he was invincible. As far as he was concerned, he had never encountered anyone who could actually beat him.
Even Tao Xiaoyao—he could take her on and win. If it was just a few people? No problem. Even if it was a dozen? Still fine.
More than that? Well, then he’d just have to start taking things a little seriously.
…
The bone was gone.
With no other choice, Chen Fan rummaged through a drawer and pulled out some snacks.
He popped a potato chip into his mouth—Then suddenly, he felt something was off. Turning his head, he saw Liu Feifei’s big, sparkling eyes staring at him intensely.
That gaze practically screamed: “Give me a bite?”
“Brother Chen Fan, you’re so rich. You must have a lot of enemies, right?”
“I know. Plenty of people want me dead.”
“Exactly! You can’t just eat random food like that. What if someone poisoned you? That would be terrible, right? I think you should let me take the first bite—just to make sure it’s safe!”
Chen Fan rubbed his temples before silently handing her the potato chips.
She grabbed a handful and stuffed them in her mouth.
“Well? Any poison?”
“Didn’t taste any.”
Screw you! Just go die already!
Chen Fan pulled out a pack of chicken feet.
Liu Feifei blinked. “Hmm … I think this one might be poisoned too.”
That was it.
Chen Fan lost it.
He yanked open the entire drawer, dumped a pile of snacks onto the table, and snapped, “Fine! Eat! Eat it all! It’s ALL poisoned! I hope you choke on it! I hope you get fat from eating so much!”
Liu Feifei sighed dramatically. “Ah, I wish I could get fat. But I just can’t. No matter how much I eat, I never gain weight.”
Hah.
If anyone else heard that, they’d probably want to punch her.
Chen Fan reached out and patted Liu Feifei’s head. It was a subconscious gesture.
Liu Feifei immediately nuzzled against his hand. For a second—just a second—she really felt like a little kitten.
Damn it. I shouldn’t be acting like this.
Chen Fan hurriedly pulled his hand away.
Liu Feifei tilted her head. “Brother, you’re not being professional. You’re a kidnapper, right? And I’m your hostage. You’re not even bullying me properly. You’re way too kind. You must be a good person.”
Good person, my ass. Your whole family are good people! Go to hell!
Chen Fan stood up and walked over to the window, internally cursing his fate.
Dumbass protagonist, where the hell are you?! Why aren’t you here yet?! Are you at home taking a dump or something?! I’m about to lose my mind because of this woman! If you don’t come soon, I really will kill her!
