Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Mo Fei watched Xue Luocha walking away, as if thinking of something.

Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei, “What are you thinking?”

Mo Fei smiled and said, “I wonder what she is doing here.”

Xiao Chen disapprovingly twitched his mouth, “Why bother about that? I thought you are thinking of the new potion formula.”

Mo Fei smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m just thinking.”

Xiao Chen lightly snorted, “Save it. As long as she has no feelings for you, you’ll be fine.”

Mo Fei nodded, saying shyly, “You are right. I think it’s quite possible that girl has a crush on me.”

Xiao Chen, “…”

Mo Fei looked at Xiao Chen’s twisted expression, saying with his eyes blinking, “Xiao Chen, what’s the matter with you?”

Xiao Chen smiled dryly and said, “Nothing, I just think…you think too much.”

Mo Fei squinted at Xiao Chen and said, “Mr. Chen, don’t belittle me. I am of great charm. You know, the first time Lou Yu saw me, he fell in love with me, and swore that he’d only marry nobody but me.”

Xiao Chen gave him a strange look, “Wasn’t it that you fell in love with him on the first sight and chased after him on and on and on?”

Mo Fei darkened his face, “Who told you that?”

“I thought of it myself.” Xiao Chen innocently said.

Mo Fei thought in his heart: Didn’t you say you are all devoted to studying the new potion? Didn’t you say you put all your heart on it? How could you still have time on such gossip?

“Then you are wrong. Lou Yu pursued me.” Said Mo Fei darkly.

Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders, “Well, I know you are very charming, but, you already have your partner. If so, you can’t accept her. If you can’t accept her, why think so much? Is it possible you’d cheat on your partner?”

Mo Fei said disapprovingly, “How is that even possible? Am I that slutty?”

Xiao Chen was silent for a while, looking at Mo Fei thoughtfully, “It’s fine even if you have a secret lover, as long as it doesn’t delay our study on the potion. You know, no man isn’t fickle in love.”

Mo Fei, “…Mr. Chen, so are you?”

Xiao Chen said blandly, “I got no time.”

Freezing there for a while, Mo Fei suddenly got enlightened. Xiao Chen’s time had all been used on studying the potion. He had been so busy that he even had no time on one person, let alone having a secret lover.

Thinking of here, Mo Fei couldn’t help feeling sorry for Boss Ye Feng. Boss Ye Feng, you are so pathetic to fall in love with Xiao Chen.

Ye Feng looked at Mo Fei and Xiao Chen, saying tightly, “Sirs, can you develop some kind of lethal potion under the premise of making sure you would work out the poison-removing potion?”

“A lethal potion? Sure!” Xiao Chen nodded.

Mo Fei frowned, keenly asking, “Boss Ye Feng, is there anything wrong in the valley?”

Ye Feng smiled sadly and said, “I have just received the news that the Wu Family may close the valley in the near future and let us die in here.”

Mo Fei opened his eyes wide and said, “How could that be?” Oh, holy shit! How could I be so damn unlucky?

Xiao Chen knitted his eyebrow, “I will try my best.”

Ye Feng rubbed his hands, smiled stiffly while saying, “Thank you then.”

Xiao Chen lightly said, “You’re welcome.”

Xiao Chen and Mo Fei went back to the laboratory together then.

Mo Fei sat aside, his face sunk.

“What’s the matter with you?” Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei’s sad face and asked.

Mo Fei sighed and said, “I am thinking why I am so unlucky. I was sent to this shit place, and not long after, this place is going to be shut down!”

Xiao Chen disapprovingly smiled, “In my opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the Wu family to shut down the Black Smoke Valley.”

Mo Fei looked over at Xiao Chen, jaws dropped, “You…you are not kidding, are you?”

Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “Kidding? Do I look like I am kidding? These years, all the cultivators in the valley have tried to go out but all failed. Why? First, Wu Family is too powerful, second, people didn’t unite together. If Wu Family really plans to shut down the valley, I guess people will voluntarily stick together then.”

Mo Fei frowned, “So you think if we work together, we’d have a bigger chance to go out?”

Xiao Chen shrugged, “Well, we can only do what we could and follow our destiny.”

Mo Fei narrowed his eyes and said, “There are about ten xuan class masters guarding the valley, and there is one earth class. If we swarm out together, we’d stand a big chance.”

“I see.” said Mo Fei, frowning.

Xiao Chen shrugged, “In fact, if one is closed in this shit place, it is really no better than die.”

Mo Fei, “…”
