From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 142: Chapter 140: Start Performing_1

Fang Ren's heart settled when he saw Feng Mei rolling up her sleeves, ready to take action, as everything was proceeding according to the script he had designed.

As the five-centimeter-thick palm was about to land on his head, Fang Ren immediately and quietly started to activate "Nine Techniques of Lethal Combat," releasing a red aura all over his body.

"Ignorance comes with a price!"

Pretending to be a Taoist priest, Fang Ren transformed the red aura into streams of thread, continuously rushing toward Feng Mei.

"What!"

Feng Mei was startled by the red threads and nearly fell to the ground, her 180-pound frame slipping several steps on the smooth tiles before she turned to run out of the bathroom.

Fang Ren manipulated the red aura to follow her, not immediately knocking her out, but instead shouted with feigned authenticity, "Audacious thief! How dare you disturb my ritual! You shall not escape!"

After saying this, Fang Ren finally struck Feng Mei's forehead with a red thread of aura.

Thud!

The 180-pound body suddenly fell onto the tiles, the sound making everything in the bathroom from the basin towels to the makeup tremble thrice.

"Sister Mei! Sister Mei!"

Jian Qi'er immediately shouted and ran beside Feng Mei, switching to Oscar-worthy acting mode, looking earnestly at Feng Mei lying on the ground and saying, "Sister Mei! You mustn't be hurt, this master is real, why wouldn't you believe me?"

At this moment, Feng Mei hadn't completely passed out and immediately tugged Jian Qi'er's arm, saying, "Qi'er... you mustn't believe him."

"Thief! Not only do you disrupt my demon-hunting, but you also continue to slander me in front of others!" Fang Ren, seeing Jian Qi'er's performance, how could he show any weakness? He roared in anger, struck a chūnibyō pose, and aimed a punch at Feng Mei on the ground.

Watching Fang Ren's punch come her way, Jian Qi'er smiled inwardly, clearly sensing the deliberate slowness of the punch and its intended dramatic effect—indeed, her coordination with this man was flawless.

"How was I supposed to know that despite having a Space Ring, you didn't bring any clothes with you?" Jian Qi'er said helplessly.

Even more helpless, Fang Ren thought about how, during his time on the battlefield, his Space Ring was in utter chaos, filled with a burning Alchemy Furnace, all sorts of complex herbs, ninety-one sickles, and various discussed elixirs...

Although he had indeed thrown his clothes into the Space Ring before, considering that his Space Ring's storage space was only 10 cubic meters, he had no idea how he managed to fit those ninety-one sickles in there, not to mention now also having to worry about clothes.

Using his Divine Sense to check the Space Ring, Fang Ren's face turned completely dark. Were those even clothes anymore? They had been charred by the Alchemy Furnace, torn open and cut by more than ninety sickles, and rubbed shiny by other pills...

Seeing Fang Ren fall silent, Jian Qi'er turned and ushered Feng Mei into the living room. When she returned to the bathroom, she said, "Alright, alright, I'll go out and buy a set of clothes for you now. Just don't wander off, okay?"

"Am I supposed to just hang out in your house wearing nothing but a towel?" Fang Ren said in astonishment.

"What else can we do? It's not like I can let you wear my super short shorts and miniskirts, can I?" Jian Qi'er replied.

"Alright, alright."

"Wait for me at home, and keep an eye on Sister Mei."

...

A few minutes later, Jian Qi'er came rushing back into the house, her face flustered, carrying a bag. She had barely entered the room before slamming the door shut, and even the front door was dead bolted.

"What happened? Did you run into the paparazzi on the way home?"

Fang Ren stared at her panicked appearance with some bewilderment.

"Worse than just paparazzi!" Jian Qi'er shut the door to the room and yelled at him, "If it were just the paparazzi chasing me, that'd be one thing. But do you even know about the existence of fan clubs?"

"Aren't those just part of the two forces that surround any popular star?" Fang Ren asked.

"The key point is the fan club! The core fan club! They were all lying in ambush! And now they've revealed themselves."
