Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1297: The Sacrificial Lamb

While Carmen made the thunderous statement live on the stream, one person remained unaware of the curse.

Still, they felt the brunt of the curse almost instantaneously.

Azure Lair, Azure Dungeon Entrance

"Why does my butt feel so itchy?" Xu Feng stood up from the stone he was sitting on. There was an aching and somewhat irritating pain in his butt all of a sudden.

It came so abruptly, too!

"It can’t be those scouts cursing at me, right?" He clicked his tongue and wondered if he had given them an easy death.

"Since you want to curse at my butt, then I’ll give you all a death sentence!"

As a petty man, how could he not retaliate?

Within a few seconds, he took a series of screenshots and posted them on the Game Forum in anonymous mode. The post title was rather attractive and instantly captured quite a lot of attention.

[Tuning Bloom Guild also wanted to join the Global Manhunt, but got instakill instead!]

As soon as the post was made, some curious and gossiping players clicked on it.

They were quickly dumbfounded by the angle of the screenshot taken.

The first screenshot clearly depicted Xu Feng being confronted by three players.

Then the next one showed Xu Feng casting his spells.

Lastly, the screenshot showed the three scout corpses!

And in each of the screenshots was some commentary that explained the situation.

"My goodness, the Tuning Bloom Guild scouts sure are gutsy!"

"The Vanguard Guild Leader managed to escape unscathed from multiple Tier 2 players, but these scouts are quite confident. As a mediocre Tier 1 player, they actually dared to try to ambush him?"

"Serve them right for being instakilled!"

Upon seeing the traffic in the posts, Xu Feng flashed a sly grin. He was beyond satisfied with the result.

"Hmph, let’s see if you still dare to curse at my butt. I want to let you know the consequences of cursing me." He snorted coldly.

Just when he was about to resume eating his cooked food, his sound notification rang.

Confused, Xu Feng opened his messages, only to see that it came from Veronica.

"Hmm, why did she message me?" He frowned a bit. Veronica was currently in charge of defending the Haven Wind Town alongside Carmen.

To see her having the time to send him a message either meant the situation was terrible or it was over.

Needless to say, he was hoping it was the latter. After all, he believed Carmen and Zhang Jingyi would be able to resolve the situation.

He stopped pondering over the situation and directly opened the message.

THUD!

As soon as he did and read the message, his facial complexion turned somewhat ugly.

Vortex Viper: Guild Leader, what in the world did you do to Carmen? She went on Wei Xing’s livestream and directly cursed your butt to receive ten thousand years of pain!

Lin Feng: I did nothing. We simply separated ways to our own goal!

Vortex Viper: You did nothing? Then tell that to her yourself. She even went incognito after making that statement. I tried to message her, but she ignored me.

Aggrieved, Xu Feng seriously didn’t know what he did.

’How did I provoke her?’ He scratched his head, racking his brain to recall their previous interaction.

Everything went well... or maybe not.

There was that slight hiccup near the end when they split.

However, the person who should be mad was him, right?

He recalled that his skills being silenced was attributed to Carmen.

Based on that recollection, why would Carmen throw a tantrum?

"Wait, let me browse through our last message." Xu Feng pursed his lips and opened their message.

The moment he did and saw his message had been read but no reply, he quickly flashed a bittersweet smile.

"Ah... so it was because I requested Evelyn for help." He became speechless.

In the end, the person who cursed at him was none other than Carmen.

Then what was that petty revenge he did?

"Eh, serve them right anyway. I don’t even care about their life and death." He swiftly brushed it away.

Little did Xu Feng know, Peng Lai was currently on the verge of a mental breakdown when news of his action was spread in the Game Forum.

Moreover, it was done right after he gave his falsified excuse and explanation.

"Fucking Vanguard Guild Leader. All I did was ambush you. Did you really have to destroy my living bowl like that?" Peng Lai plopped to the ground, his phone about to burst from the constant calling from his superiors.

With the Game Forum post being shared with multiple people, he was destined to suffer a harsh punishment.

If anything, he would be grateful if he could remain in the guild. Otherwise, the worst-case scenario would be paying back a ton of compensation for breach of contract.

While Peng Lai became the unfortunate collateral damage and sacrificial lamb, Xu Feng was struggling with how to coax Carmen.

"What to do?"

Xu Feng paced around the entrance and decided to share his location with Carmen.

He had tried to message her, only to receive a cold shoulder.

Still, he was positive that she was still online.

After all, she wasn’t impulsive to outright log out when she knew he was going to ambush a bunch of raiders.

And sure enough, he only waited for around 10 minutes when Carmen emerged from a void portal.

"You’re here." Xu Feng clasped his hands and approached her.

Meanwhile, Carmen tilted her head aside, clearly ignoring him.

Upon seeing her behavior, Xu Feng realized this was another of those tropes in the short drama.

’Great, she wants to be the female protagonist in those romance drama scripts.’ He pursed his lips and cleared his throat.

"My dearest, what are you standing there for?" He said softly and quickly wrapped his arms around her waist. "Come and try out the food that I just cooked."

He then dragged her to his eating place. Even though Carmen resisted, he could tell the resistance was very weak.

’Phew, there’s a chance.’
