<h4>Chapter 1190: Chapter 1190</h4>


    "Cock-a-doodle-doo..."


    At the break of dawn, a crisp crowing sound woke up the entire vige.


    Lin Yifan rubbed his eyes and picked up the phone next to his pillow, discovering it was only half-past five.


    He stretched leisurely, preparing to go back to sleep, but Xu Fengxian’s voice came from the yard.


    "Yifan, are you up?"


    She opened the door and walked in, having specially dressed up today.


    Smooth hair draped over her rounded shoulders.


    The loose cor entuated her delicate corbone, making it incredibly attractive.


    Beneath her willow-like eyebrows, her clear almond-shaped eyes were filled with affection.


    Her face was lightly powdered, rosy-white.


    Her brown top had a wide cor and narrow waist, entuating her slender waistline.


    The ck long skirt outlined her perfect hip shape.


    Though it covered her slender long legs, her slender ankles were d in wedges, her tender feet resting on them.


    Her dainty toes added a touch of cuteness to her mature beauty.


    "You’re up early."


    Still a bit sleepy, Lin Yifan smiled at Xu Fengxian.


    She held a bowl of steaming millet porridge and a stack of pancakes.


    There were also clean green onions and paste, apanied by a jar of pickles.


    Xu Fengxian ced the breakfast she brought on the kang.


    "Pretending to sleep all night must have left you starving; hurry up and eat."


    Xu Fengxian’s delicate demeanor was entirely without her usual fiery dominance.


    "You figured it out."


    Embarrassed, Lin Yifan took the chopsticks and picked up the millet porridge.


    After a sip, he noticed there were two peeled eggs inside.


    "I’ve been with you for over a year. I know your little tricks. I deliberately made sure she couldn’t get what she wanted. Only by leaving her hanging could I keep her interested. I just saw her loitering around at the vigemittee, trying to pretend it’s a chance meeting. That little bird wants topete with me, an old fox? She’s still too green."


    Xu Fengxian greedily gazed at Lin Yifan’s exposed upper body.


    The muscles weren’t those of someone who worked in rural areas.


    Especially that fairplexion, which made her heartbeat speed up.


    "Let me see what scheme this old fox is up to."


    With a mischievous smile, Lin Yifan pulled the fragrant Xu Fengxian over.


    "Don’t fool around... Mom’s next door!"


    Lying in his sturdy arms, Xu Fengxian felt shy and bashful.


    The two rooms weren’t soundproof; if someone heard them, it would be utterly embarrassing.


    "Tonight, let me cherish you properly."


    A wave of fragrance entered Lin Yifan’s nose, causing his pulse to quicken.


    It was the scent of shampoo,undry detergent, and body wash mixed together.


    "Anyway, I’m yours... Use it whenever you like."


    Squinting bashfully, Xu Fengxian found him particrly dazzling today.


    Unfortunately, this moment of mutual affection was interrupted by a burst of cursing.


    "Who the hell hit my brother yesterday? Get your ass out here!"


    The gruff voice made Lin Yifan frown slightly.


    Looking outside the window, arge group of men wielding sticks had already forced their way into the courtyard.


    The most noticeable was Liu the Sixth with a bandaged head.


    Next to him was a burly man, at least two meters tall.


    "Damn, it’s Wang Tu. Yifan, quickly leave through the back window!"


    Xu Fengxian immediately recognized the bald giant as a notorious vige thug nearby.


    The scars on his head, like centipedes, were all from fights.


    In the nearby viges, everyone feared him.


    "Bunch of scumbags."


    Lin Yifan snorted, quickly putting on his clothes.


    Just as he was about to leave, Xu Fengxian hugged him tightly.


    "Yifan, Wang Tu once worked as a bodyguard in the Provincial City. Ten to eight people can’t beat him alone. If you go out like this, you’ll suffer. You should leave first, and I’ll stall him. We can’t afford to provoke this guy."


    "There’s no one I can’t provoke. You go look after Mom first!"


    Lin Yifan smiled, pinching Xu Fengxian’s adorable nose.


    The determination in his eyes made her eventually let go.


    She quickly headed to the west room.


    "Yelling so early in the morning, what do you want?"


    Stepping out, Lin Yifan coldly scanned the crowd in the yard.


    Each one looked unruly, gripping sticks, appearing aggressive.


    "Wang, it’s him who beat up Boss Xiao. Finish him off!"


    Seeing Lin Yifan, Liu the Sixth instinctively hid behind Wang Tu.


    "You little brat, you’re quite bold. You dare to hit my brother? Do you know who you’ve messed with?"


    Wang Tu rubbed his impably smooth head, ring daggers at him with eyes like brass bells.


    "Do you know who you’ve messed with?"


    Lin Yifan didn’t even nce at the twenty-plus men holding sticks around.


    His icy eyes locked directly onto the towering Wang Tu.


    "Kid, I was running the world when you were still wetting the bed. Today, I’ll break your damn legs, tear down your doghouse, and take that widow back to lick my feet!"


    Wang Tu cursed vehemently, holding a big stick.


    Unexpectedly, Lin Yifan suddenly charged at him.


    As swift as the wind, he reached Wang Tu before anyone could react.


    Wang Tu tried to lift the stick to counterattack, but he was too slow.


    "Insult my woman, and I’ll kill you!"


    With eyes full of anger, Lin Yifan kicked Wang Tu’s crotch.


    A surge of pain erupted, making Wang Tu instinctively double over.


    But Lin Yifan’s fist was already poised.


    With a hook punch, he sent the 200-plus-pound Wang Tu flying, crashing hard to the ground.


    Lin Yifan directly straddled him, raining punches mercilessly on his head.


    Blood sttered, and Wang Tu’s cries gradually faded.


    Blood pooled on the ground below; onlookers paled in horror.


    Usually, their fights involved hair-pulling and kicking, never such brutality.


    The bloody scene scared them stiff, none daring to step forward.


    Until Wang Tu stopped moving entirely, Lin Yifan used his clothes to wipe the blood off his hands and slowly stood up.


    "Tell those behind you, whoever dares target ck Bear Valley again will meet the same fate!"


    Lin Yifan’s icy gaze nced at the trembling Liu the Sixth.


    Then he slowly headed back indoors.


    The twenty-plus men left behind stood in the courtyard, utterly at a loss.


    Not daring to breathe, they hurriedly carried the unrecognizable Wang Tu away from the small courtyard.


    "Yifan, are you okay?"


    With Xu Fengxian’s help, his mother emerged from the west room.


    Worried, she looked at his bloodied hands.


    "I’m fine, just a few petty thugs; I’ve chased them off."


    Lin Yifan quickly reassured his mother, simultaneously pressing her pulse point.


    After a night of adjustment, her health had improved. After a few more doses of medicine, she should be fine.


    Next, he just needed to wait for the one who owed him karmic debt to appear andplete the Life Extension Technique.


    Then his mother could safely pass this life-threatening cmity.
