Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1197: And Then

Evelyn’s target was Cool Wind, whereas Carmen’s target was his entirety.

These people only knew about Xu Feng’s aliases, but she was the only one who knew every alias was solely his.

Whether it was Lin Feng, Cool Wind, or Eclipse Nova, each one of them was Xu Feng.

To summarize, their separate fan base should technically be combined as one.

Despite this, there had yet to be someone like Evelyn entering the fray with her intense adoration and pursuit.

Had it not been for Wei Xing informing her with a video, then Carmen wouldn’t have known until the man she liked was about to be snatched away.

’The Guild Leader really attracts too many bees.’ Carmen turned around and spotted Xu Feng deep asleep. He was like honey, full of sweetness and aroma that attracted women.

She had a crush on him for an unknown amount of time. She only knew that she felt comfortable and safe whenever he was by her side.

However...

She never dared to confess, lest it might ruin their current relationship.

Moreover, she could tell he was focused on something.

It was as if he were in a time crunch and racing to the finish line.

"Why are you always in a rush?" Carmen murmured.

"Isn’t it better to just enjoy life in a carefree manner? Go on dates, and do romantic stuff."

Shaking her head, she reluctantly went to her bed and began to sleep.

The next morning.

Opening his eyes, Xu Feng heard the sound of a hair dryer blowing.

He rubbed his eyes groggily and got out of bed.

Sometime later, Carmen came out of the bathroom, her clothes somewhat transparent and revealing.

"Cough," he instantly coughed a few times and turned around.

"What are you wearing, Carmen?"

"My clothes?" Carmen answered very naturally.

"It’s very transparent."

"Mhmm, and then?"

"I’m still here."

"Yes, and then?"

"I’m a man."

"Okay, and then?"

At this moment, Xu Feng was completely stumped.

What was with her and the term "and then" repeatedly?

"Is there something going on that I don’t know?" Xu Feng asked. Lately, almost everyone has been acting weird around him.

Such a feeling occurred ever since he decided to produce a short drama to boost the Vanguard Guild’s popularity and funds.

"What can be going on?" Carmen mused and started undressing. The layers of her clothes dropping to the bed were low, but could be heard.

After all, Xu Feng’s Energy Force had upgraded, and his hearing had also increased by leaps and bounds.

Even a small leaf falling into a river could be heard by him if he focused a little bit.

"Seriously, why are you undressing in the open?" Xu Feng cried aloud and shut his eyes. She should be thankful that he wasn’t a perverted man. Otherwise, with his perception, he could easily see her exposed skin.

"I trust you."

Her three simple-word response was like a nuclear bomb dropping on top of his head.

The word trust was something special in Xu Feng’s mind. It was a word that he rarely used to others in a genuine manner.

Looking at his melancholy expression, Carmen pursed her lips.

’Screw it. I’ll just be bold this time.’ She mustered up her courage and approached him.

She extended her hand and softly caressed his face. "Xu Feng, I know you’re an orphan. Life must have been tough and difficult for you to survive alone. But I hope that you can trust me."

Hearing her sincere voice, Xu Feng chuckled and gently held her hand.

"Isn’t it too early for a melodrama act, Carmen?" He stood up and began heading to the bathroom to change his clothes.

’Indeed... seems like it’s still too early.’ Feeling disappointed, Carmen thought the gap between them had increased again.

However, the disappointment only lasted for a brief second when Xu Feng spoke again.

"I always trusted you. It’s been given to you since our first meeting. So let’s not go melodramatic and strive for a great first day of shooting!"

BADUMP!

For some reason, Carmen felt her heart beating rapidly, her face flushed in redness.

’Always trust me?’ Carmen couldn’t help but start smiling silly. In the end, she buried her head in the pillow to cool herself down.

...

Vanguard Background Set

Upon arriving at the background set, Xu Feng lightly teased Carmen.

"Why is your face so red?"

"It’s your fault." Carmen hissed and gave him a pinch in the stomach.

"Ow ow ow, I was wrong." Xu Feng cried in agony and quickly apologized.

As the two were playing around, Evelyn approached them and kept a calm expression.

"Director Carmen, right. Nice to meet you." She extended her hand and greeted.

"So you’re the young heiress of Maleficent Limited." Carmen glanced at her extended hand and shook it.

"Please call me the female emperor here." Evelyn giggled and increased her grip strength.

"Oh, female emperor? What era is this? The shoot has yet to begin, so please don’t fantasize too much. It would be bad if you can’t detach yourself from the role later on." Carmen gently advised and also increased her grip strength.

’What the hell is wrong with these two?’ Xu Feng was alarmed by their hands nearly turning purple from the grasp.

In an instant, he hurriedly removed their two hands while applying some Energy Force to heal them.

"Can the two of you not mess around?" Xu Feng held a stern expression and warned. "If you can’t behave yourself in the set, then I don’t mind dismissing the two of you."

"We did nothing, though?" Both Carmen and Evelyn argued.

FLICKED!

What they received in return was a flick on the forehead.

"Do the two of you really take me for some dense protagonist?" Xu Feng rolled his eyes and continued, "Right now, we’re doing our first day of shooting, so everything must be on point. If you two want to fight, then do it without harming others physically or mentally."

"How can we even fight like that then—" The two argued, but halted themselves.

Alas, it was a little bit too late. They had realized they had fallen into Xu Feng’s trap.

"Hoh, so you two are really fighting?"
