Peach-Orange! – Chapter 369 – The Capital’s Young Lady

Hearing the bodyguard’s words, Chu Lingfeng finally let out a long sigh of relief.

The past half-month had indeed been very rough for him.

Not only had those influential figures who were once on good terms with him inexplicably started giving him the cold shoulder, but even the reputation he had built with the Thirteen Taiyi Needles was now being questioned.

Previously, many prominent families had eagerly sought his miraculous needles, but now they’d rather rely on their own medical treatments than come to him.

His luck had hit rock bottom!

Every time he drove out, he’d been scammed four or five times over the past half-month.

Not only that, his wallet often went missing, his shoes always had gum stuck to them, and biting down on grit while eating had become routine. Once, while descending the stairs, he habitually rested a hand on the railing, only to touch someone’s spit.

Because Xiao Hei had severed his manhood with a single slash, his life was in shambles, and his love life was no better!

Once, while drunk, he hit it off with a nightclub queen, and the atmosphere was just right! Things were about to get heated.

But when he took off his pants, his “gun” was gone!

Chu Lingfeng still remembered the nightclub queen’s disgusted look when he sobered up. He was so humiliated he couldn’t even muster a retort.

But now, everything was about to turn around!

Chu Lingfeng waved his hand, dismissing the bodyguard, then made a call. “Hey, Xiao Ming, the other party has responded to my invitation. Are you sure she can really help me?”

A mocking laugh came from the other end of the line. “Are you stupid? There are countless young ladies in the capital’s elite circles, but once she returns, if she declares herself the only one, no one would dare challenge her.”

“Not even the Dongfang and Ye families?”

“Those two families aren’t even fit to carry her shoes.”

“Tsk—”

Chu Lingfeng sucked in a sharp breath.

The Dongfang and Ye families were already the leading powers in the capital’s elite circles. What kind of status did this young lady have that even these two families were only fit to carry her shoes?

Xiao Ming said coolly, “Of course, as a country bumpkin, you wouldn’t understand her worth. I’ve looked into it. Due to an ancient covenant, families like the Dongfang and Ye can only submit to her.

“If you can win her favor, getting your revenge will be a piece of cake.”

Chu Lingfeng’s heart raced. “Any other news? If I succeed, I won’t forget you!”

Xiao Ming snorted. “Spare me the empty promises. Does the Temple of Asura need a favor from you? No new updates, but I can tell you this: this young lady isn’t someone you can understand with ordinary logic.”

“That’s all I’ll say. Good luck, Miracle Doctor Chu.”

The call ended, and Chu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes.

The information Xiao Ming had given him earlier was intriguing.

A young lady from the capital’s elite circles, who had been overseas, was about to return. The power behind her was immense. She alone could shift the entire landscape of the capital’s elite circles.

But Chu Lingfeng had no idea exactly when she’d return.

Over the past half-month, he had nearly sold his soul just to uncover a sliver of information: this young lady’s people had already quietly returned to the capital.

He hurriedly sent an invitation and only now received a response.

“If she’s really as formidable as Xiao Ming says….”

Chu Lingfeng licked his lips, a flash of hatred in his eyes.

He adjusted his demeanor, dressed sharply, and even prepared a seemingly healthy bodyguard who was actually on the verge of collapse.

After making the bodyguard take medicine to induce an attack at any moment, Chu Lingfeng planned to showcase the Thirteen Taiyi Needles in front of the young lady.

He had prepared every advantage he could muster.

The next day, Chu Lingfeng arrived by car at a luxurious royal hotel.

Rumor had it that a single meal here cost more than an ordinary person could earn in a lifetime.

“As expected of the capital’s one and only young lady. What grandeur!”

A hotel attendant approached. “Are you Mr. Chu Lingfeng?”

“That’s me.” Chu Lingfeng straightened his tie and flashed a dashing smile.

The attendant nodded. “Very well, please follow me.”

“Of course.”

Chu Lingfeng strode forward… but at that moment, a sharp riiiip echoed through the air.

Everyone at the entrance turned to look at him.

His stylish suit pants had split open at the crotch, revealing a glaring pair of bright red underpants.

Yes, Chu Lingfeng had already thought himself unlucky.

But he never imagined his luck could be this bad!

Cursing the pants’ seller a hundred times in his heart, Chu Lingfeng forced an awkward smile. “Could I… change my pants first?”

The attendant smiled politely. “The young lady has allotted you only one hour, so you may manage your time as you see fit.”

Chu Lingfeng’s brows twitched. He quickly dragged a bodyguard back to the car, changed into a looser pair of suit pants, and followed the attendant into the elevator.

They ascended to the top floor.

After entering a plain, unremarkable door, Chu Lingfeng was met not with the grand reception he had imagined, but a simple business lounge.

A modest spread of Western dishes lay on the central table.

The only person inside was a dignified, tall woman with her hair tied in a high ponytail.

But what puzzled Chu Lingfeng was her attire. It was an elegant, English-style maid dress with a medieval touch.

No one else was present.

Could it be that this young lady from the capital’s elite circles enjoyed cosplay?

Or… had she already been charmed by his dashing looks and willingly become his maid?

Chu Lingfeng’s heart swelled with excitement. He immediately put on his most suave smile. “Greetings, Young Lady. I am Chu Lingfeng. I’ve long admired you, and now that I’ve seen you in person, even the Four Great Beauties of ancient times could not compare to a fraction of your grace.”

But the response to his flattery was a cold glare from the maid. “Wipe that disgusting, fawning smile off your face. A eunuch like you dares to think he’s worthy of meeting my young lady? Who gave you the confidence?”

“Eun… eunuch?!”

Chu Lingfeng’s smile froze completely.

The hand behind his back clenched into a fist instantly.

But remembering he was here to ask for help, he forced himself to keep smiling. “Then may I ask who you are?”

“I am the young lady’s head maid. She has not yet returned to the country and has sent me ahead to handle domestic affairs.”

Chu Lingfeng’s gaze sharpened. “Since you accepted my invitation, Head Maid, you must be aware of my capabilities. I have connections in the capital, and my Thirteen Taiyi Needles can even bring the dead back to life.”

He spoke with confidence. “I am willing to cooperate with the young lady, to serve under her command. The Thirteen Taiyi Needles will act solely at her behest. But I have one small condition.”

Chu Lingfeng snorted coldly. “I hope the young lady can lend me some influence. I have a great vengeance to settle!

“Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao! I want them to suffer a fate worse than death!”

His rage was not something that could be quelled by simply killing those two!

But Chu Lingfeng failed to notice the hint of mockery in the head maid’s eyes as she watched him.

Only when he mentioned those two names did her gaze gradually deepen with meaning.
