Chapter 302 A Hua's Punishment
```
The sudden question turned Chu Mingyue's cheeks an instant red, especially when she saw the gazes of Zhao Tianjie and Tang Long also land on her. Panic flashed through her eyes, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to make eye contact with the three, explaining, "I... I didn't, I was just asking, that's all."
Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell there was something more to Chu Mingyue's flustered demeanor.
This girl certainly had feelings for Li Qianfan.
Originally, Ye Ling'er had merely asked casually, but upon seeing Chu Mingyue's expression, her own face took on an unnatural look.
For some reason, whenever she heard about a woman liking Li Qianfan, she would feel uncomfortable inside, as if the most precious thing was about to be taken away from her.
"If you like someone, you like them, besides, Li Qianfan and I are just friends," she said.
Even though she said this, Ye Ling'er's smile was forced, and it could be said to look even worse than crying.
Since Tang Long wasn't familiar with Li Qianfan and was already married with children, he had no interest in love talk and quietly stood to one side, looking at his phone.
However, the expressions and reactions of the two girls dealt a heavy blow to Zhao Tianjie. He had two dreams at the moment, the first was to earn enough money to cure his sister's rare illness, and the second was to find a beautiful girl to marry.
In fact, she didn't have to be too beautiful, it would be enough if she had half the looks of Ye Ling'er or Chu Mingyue.
But after so many years of effort, he still had made no progress.
Yet Li Qianfan had captured the hearts of two such exquisite beauties, Ye Ling'er and Chu Mingyue, at the same time.
Zhao Tianjie was not familiar with Chu Mingyue, but he knew Ye Ling'er all too well. She was the Four Seas Martial Pavilion's flower, with countless pursuers; her personality was extremely aloof, like a snow mountain that couldn't be melted. There used to be a saying that no man could capture Ye Ling'er's heart.
But the appearance of Li Qianfan completely melted this iceberg!
Damn, how on earth did he do it?
Zhao Tianjie felt indignant inside. He looked up at Li Qianfan, who was not far away talking with Ah Hua, his eyes filled with unmistakable envy. Sigh, he almost forgot, besides Ye Ling'er and Chu Mingyue, there was also the even more voluptuous Ah Hua.
Aaaaaah... It's truly envy-inducing!
...
"You little rascal, why didn't you wait for me after the meeting?"
Ah Hua looked at Li Qianfan with displeasure in her eyes, and her tone was very assertive.
If any other woman had questioned him with such a strong attitude, Li Qianfan would have retorted immediately and would not have shown her any niceties, but Ah Hua was different—she had too many things about her that he wanted to find out.
First: The perfume powder Ah Hua used contained the Power of the Solar Terms, which forcibly pulled him into a dream. Such a strange matter was something he must figure out.
Second: Why was Ah Hua always trying to make him a submissive puppet, and for what reason, he needed to understand.
Third: After the dream ended previously, Ah Hua had been eager to see the thing that Hong Jiumei had entrusted him to keep. Why was that?
Upon reflection, Li Qianfan recalled many things. Lately, there was turmoil within the Green Dragon Gang, the Gang Leader had gone missing, and the Gang Edict was hidden by Hong Jiumei. At this time, Ah Hua had been continuously trying to probe the item Hong Jiumei asked him to keep safe.
When Ah Hua saw it was a book, her face clearly filled with confusion and disappointment.
Could it be possible that Ah Hua thought that the item Hong Jiumei had him keep was the Gang Edict?
"Hey, are you listening to me?"
```
At that moment, A'Hua's voice pulled Li Qianfan back to reality from his deep thoughts.
Although Li Qianfan had numerous doubts in his mind, he didn't show them. Instead, he said with a serious face, "Sister Hua, I'm really sorry; we were in a rush and forgot to wait for you. I'm truly sorry, Sister Hua, my fault..."
Seeing Li Qianfan's respectful attitude, a happy smile appeared on A'Hua's face. She said, "Although you know you're wrong, you have to find a way to make it up to me, right? I'm not the kind of girl who can be easily pacified with a few sweet words. There has to be a punishment."
Li Qianfan chuckled and said, "Sister Hua, then tell me, how would you like to punish me?"
"You can accept any punishment?"
A'Hua eyed Li Qianfan's expression, asking tentatively.
Li Qianfan almost didn't hesitate before nodding and saying, "That's right, Sister Hua, you are the person I respect the most. If I've done something wrong, I must accept your punishment."
Hearing this, A'Hua's smile widened. It seemed that the dream hypnosis had indeed worked. Her eyes gently shifted as she spoke, "My request is very simple. Tomorrow night, let's go out for a bath, and if you give me a good back scrub, I'll forgive you."

"That simple?"
Li Qianfan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected A'Hua to request a back scrub.
How is that a punishment?
It's clearly a reward, alright.
The corners of A'Hua's mouth lifted slightly as she asked, "So, what do you say, is it a deal?"
Li Qianfan said, "Of course, it's a deal, but I have to deal with school matters first before I can go out."
"Of course, I wouldn't disrupt your work. Let's meet at the school gate at ten o'clock tomorrow night."
With that, A'Hua glanced at Ye Ling'er and the others not far away. She waved her hand and said, "Alright then, go on, your friends are waiting for you."
Watching Li Qianfan's retreating figure, A'Hua's mouth curved up slightly, feeling inexplicably excited. After this probe, it was apparent that Li Qianfan's mind was partially under control of her bewitchment. Tomorrow night, she must press her advantage and gain complete control over Li Qianfan.
Having a cultivator as a manservant – this was something she had never even dared to dream of.
It had to be said, her master's medicinal powder was really strong, capable of controlling even a cultivator; it was truly terrifying
...
When Li Qianfan returned to his friends, Zhao Tianjie asked curiously about his relationship with A'Hua, like a curious baby.
Although Ye Ling'er and Chu Mingyue did not speak, their curious gazes clearly indicated that they too wanted to know the real relationship between Li Qianfan and A'Hua.
Li Qianfan didn't hide anything and said, "We're just simple friends. Before I joined the martial pavilion, I was a massage therapist at a massage shop, and A'Hua often came to me for massages. Over time, we became quite familiar with each other."
After becoming familiar, she fell in love with you?"
Zhao Tianjie first glanced at Ye Ling'er and Chu Mingyue's expressions, then said teasingly with a smirk.
Hearing this, Li Qianfan playfully punched Zhao Tianjie and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Why would A'Hua like me? She's just someone who likes to joke around. Besides, we're not as familiar as you guys think. There are many things about her that I don't know."
After saying this, Li Qianfan turned his head toward the direction A'Hua had left, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes.
Tomorrow night, going out for a bath, he was determined to clear up all the doubts in his mind...
