Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: A Thief in the Dead of Night?

"Tiandang Mountain?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Demoness and Kong Guyoulan suddenly heard Jiang Feng mention this place name, and both shook their heads blankly.

"Not sure. Xiao Feng, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Demoness asked.

"Nothing. If you have the ability, help me check it out, and tell me once you find it."

Jiang Feng also didn’t reveal too much temporarily, so as not to put pressure on the two women.

"Alright!"

Demoness nodded. Since it was what Jiang Feng instructed, she would definitely comply, and as long as the mountain was on the map of China, she would try everything to help Jiang Feng find it.

"Xiao Feng..."

Just as Jiang Feng was about to step back, Demoness suddenly called him.

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

Demoness seemed a bit embarrassed, her expression showing a trace of helplessness.

"Why be polite with me? Go ahead!"

"When you have time, can you comfort Wan’er? After all, tonight..."

Demoness didn’t continue her words but already revealed a mother’s distress for her daughter.

"No problem." Jiang Feng agreed without hesitation.

Originally, Shangguan Wan’er encountered such an event tonight, almost being humiliated, so he needed to comfort her.

Even if Demoness hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have turned a blind eye.

However, it’s too late now, and Shangguan Wan’er is emotionally intense at this moment; it’s not suitable for him to touch her wound.

Let Dong Ruyan accompany her first, to soothe her mood, and then when the time is right, he would step in.

"Head back first, I’ll find time and go see her." Jiang Feng simply said, then returned the way he came.

...

After descending the mountain, Jiang Feng parted ways with Demoness and Kong Guyoulan, then returned to the villa alone.

By this time, it was already very late, estimating that the women at home were also asleep.

Yet, for some reason, Jiang Feng felt a bit restless, without any intention to go inside and sleep.

There are two reasons for his restlessness.

First, his recent Peach Blossom Tribulations were too numerous, gradually uncontrollable, feeling increasingly guilty toward Nangong Qingcheng.

If he didn’t see Nangong Qingcheng’s face, this psychological guilt would be lesser.

But each time he returned home, facing Nangong Qingcheng’s gentle and caring gaze, he felt uneasy.

Secondly, those from Tianji Pavilion are as annoying as flies, repeatedly causing trouble!

Once he found out the location of Tiandang Mountain, he would definitely wipe them out!

Just like the previous extermination of Hundred Knowledge Hall’s Gu Yuansheng, permanently eliminating future troubles!

Thinking about these concerns in his mind, Jiang Feng became even less sleepy, and then directly leaped to the roof to practice and relieve his mood.

...

Just at this time, what Jiang Feng hadn’t expected was that not all the women at home were asleep.

Among them, Bai Zhiqing hadn’t returned tonight, staying in the villa overnight.

Zhang Qinyao invited her to her room to sleep together; both women were slender and could manage to sleep squeezed together.

And Chu Feifei, haunted by the events at the Jingpo Lake during the day, stirred up some bad memories, fearing nightmares at night, also pulled Baili Xiyue up to accompany her to sleep.

These four women couldn’t wait for Jiang Feng to come back, and fell asleep.

Only Nangong Qingcheng and Liu Shiyuan, at this moment, hadn’t slept.

Both were preoccupied and unable to sleep.

Liu Shiyuan felt gratitude and emotion toward Jiang Feng, constantly engraving Jiang Feng’s image in her mind.

While Nangong Qingcheng felt more concern for Jiang Feng.

Thus, the two sleepless girls, Nangong Qingcheng called Liu Shiyuan to her room to chat.

She asked Liu Shiyuan more than once about the underwater incident at that time, and Liu Shiyuan patiently recounted it each time.

During the narration, for Liu Shiyuan herself, it was also a savoring, adding different emotions.

Just when Liu Shiyuan was narrating some details of that time, suddenly, Nangong Qingcheng vaguely heard muffled sounds coming from the rooftop.

"Shh! Shiyan, do you hear, is there some noise upstairs?"

Nangong Qingcheng immediately made a gesture to silence, pointing at the ceiling.

Liu Shiyuan paused, listened carefully, and sure enough, there were faint strange noises coming from upstairs!

She became somewhat nervous: "Qingcheng, it sounds like human footsteps, could it be Brother Jiang coming back?"

"Impossible, even if Jiang Feng came back, he couldn’t be on the rooftop!" Nangong Qingcheng shook her head.

"Then... who could it be? Could it be a thief trying to sneak in from above?" Liu Shiyuan said in apprehension.

Being girls and encountering such a thing in the middle of the night, they naturally felt instinctive fear.

"I don’t know either."

Nangong Qingcheng spoke solemnly: "It’s the first time hearing this sound. Is Jiang Feng downstairs? Let’s go check it out!"

In such a contrasting atmosphere, her first thought was of Jiang Feng.

Unfortunately, Jiang Feng now often doesn’t come home at night, sometimes even when he returns it’s very late, making it hard for even Nangong Qingcheng to keep track of his whereabouts.

"Alright!"

The two spoke, and then cautiously left the room, heading downstairs.

Passing by Chu Feifei’s room, Liu Shiyuan whispered: "Qingcheng, should we wake Fei’er and Xi Yue, let them get up quickly too?"

"Not yet, we don’t know the situation yet, let’s have a look first!"

The two wearing pajamas and slippers, cautiously descended the stairs.

However, upon reaching the stairs and seeing the empty living room, there was indeed no sign of Jiang Feng.

"Brother Jiang... hasn’t come back yet, should we quickly call him?"

Liu Shiyuan tightly grasped Nangong Qingcheng’s arm, seeking advice.

"Calling him now is too late, he can’t get back in time."

Nangong Qingcheng herself was also very scared at this moment, but still bravely comforted: "Shiyan, don’t be afraid! We can only rely on ourselves, take your phone upstairs, and I’ll stay downstairs. Whoever first sees a thief breaking in, must scream to inform the other, alright? Then the other should quickly report to the authorities, do not hesitate!"

"But..."

Liu Shiyuan’s heart tightened, her expression even more miserable.

With her personality, standing together with Nangong Qingcheng was already frightening, separate actions would surely make her even more nervous, fearing the thief might not have come yet, she would scare herself first.

"Listen! Don’t forget, our house has six girls, if there really is a thief, wake Fei’er and the others, then the six of us can surely handle a small thief! Just as I said, go upstairs!"

Nangong Qingcheng encouraged Liu Shiyuan, also boosting her own courage.

"Alright..."

Liu Shiyuan still wearing a sorrowful face, but chose to follow Nangong Qingcheng’s words, tiptoeing back upstairs.

Nangong Qingcheng remained in the living room, picking up a wooden stick for self-defense, quietly approaching the door, holding her breath to observe the outside movement...
