Under the command of Huo Feng, the Ice Puppet struck towards the man without hesitation. The man suddenly felt a chilling coldness rushing towards him, and he found that his body was unable to move, staring blankly at the Ice Puppet.
With a "smack," just as the Ice Puppet was about to hit his chest, it suddenly changed its fist into a palm, significantly reducing the force, and slapped the man on the chest. The man’s vision went dark, and he fell heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.
Huo Feng felt a surge of excitement at this situation but did not kill the man out of emotion; instead, he simply knocked him out at a critical moment. Huo Feng was not afraid of trouble, but he disliked being entangled with troublesome people. Therefore, he was unwilling to waste his energy dealing with an unrelated fool, especially since he currently could not use force against a Useless Person.
Huo Feng retracted the Ice Puppet and walked past the man lying on the ground. Although his legs were inconvenient, Yan'er’s house was not very large; at least Huo Feng felt it was smaller than his Huo Family courtyard. So Huo Feng quickly exited Yan'er’s home and stepped onto the street.
As Huo Feng walked away, memories of Nottingham City and thoughts of his father alone at home resurfaced.
Maple Town did not seem as prosperous as Nottingham City, but the people here were quite simple and honest. Walking down the street, Huo Feng noticed that everyone seemed familiar with each other; they greeted one another with smiles and friendly hellos. Even though Huo Feng was a stranger, everyone smiled at him, and occasionally children would come up to him to ask about his leg.
At that moment, a girl with two braids and a chubby red face, looking only four or five years old, ran up to Huo Feng.
The girl looked at Huo Feng's leg with concern and asked, “Big brother, are you from out of town? Did you get hurt while training in the Maple Forest Mountains? Will your leg be okay? You look so pitiful; let me take you to our house to rest! My dad is the only and best healer in town.”
Despite her long string of questions, Huo Feng felt an unusual warmth in his heart. He bent down and patted the girl's head with a smile, saying, “Thank you, little sister. I did get hurt while training, but someone has already treated me. I just wanted to come out for a walk.”
“Someone treated you?” The child pouted in confusion as she scratched her head; she clearly remembered her father had gone to help the Mayor with an illness. However, being just a child, she couldn’t think too much about it and quickly dismissed it.
She then extended her chubby white hand into her pocket and rummaged around. After a moment, she pulled out round little balls that looked like food.
The girl handed the dumpling to Huo Feng with a bright smile and said, "Big brother, here, this is for you. My father made this treasure using the blood and flesh of magical beasts combined with various herbs, then kneaded it into a ball and dried it. This not only satisfies hunger but also promotes blood circulation and speeds up wound healing. My father is amazing."
By the end, the girl wore a proud expression. Huo Feng smiled as he accepted the dumpling and said, "Thank you, sister. With this, your big brother will surely recover quickly."
"Su'er, come back quickly to help your mother gather herbs!"
At that moment, a woman's voice came from a nearby room. The girl immediately turned and shouted back, "I'll be right there." She then turned back to Huo Feng and said with a smile, "Big brother, my mother is calling me to help. Goodbye for now! Oh, by the way, you can come to my house; I'll have my father help treat your wounds."
The girl waved goodbye to Huo Feng and ran back home. Huo Feng also waved his hand holding the dumpling in response.
After the girl left, Huo Feng picked up the dumpling and squeezed it, finding it somewhat hard. He tried biting into it, and to his surprise, it wasn't as hard as he thought; instead, it was crunchy and didn't have the strange taste of herbs but rather a hint of meat flavor. So Huo Feng began to chew on the dumpling while observing the local customs.
"Excuse me, is that person in front named Huo Feng?"
Just as Huo Feng was immersed in this tranquility, he suddenly heard a strange voice calling his name from behind. Curious, he turned around.
He saw someone about his age walking towards him, but Huo Feng found this face quite familiar. He realized this was the fellow he had knocked out at Yan'er's residence. However, Huo Feng felt something was off; logically speaking, someone who had been beaten wouldn't act as if nothing had happened. Moreover, the voice sounded different. He furrowed his brows and looked at the person.
As the individual approached him with a smile on his face, Huo Feng became even more alert and prepared to summon an Ice Puppet at any moment. He coldly said, "If you want revenge, just come at me directly; don't play these tricks."
The person continued smiling and said, "You must be Huo Feng; you match the description given by the town chief."
Huo Feng was too lazy to engage in idle chatter with him and replied, "Aren't you the one who got beaten at Yan'er's residence? Don't try to play games with me; if you're going to make a move, just do it straightforwardly."
"Ha ha ha, so it turns out my foolish older brother was beaten by you. You must be Huo Feng. My brother is still unconscious; we are twins."
The man suddenly seemed very happy and laughed loudly, then continued, "I was sent by the town mayor to invite you over."
"The town mayor? I don't think I know your town mayor," Huo Feng said, still watching the man warily, unaware that Yan'er's father was the mayor.
The man seemed to guess Huo Feng's thoughts and said, "Let me tell you, the Sister Yan you mentioned is the daughter of our town mayor. He is a great hero in the hearts of everyone in our town, so you, as his savior, are also a benefactor to all of us. So don't worry and come with me."
"As for my brother, we've always been rivals, but he is more martial than I am, so he has always had the upper hand. Now that you've helped me get back at him, I'm feeling quite good about it, ha ha ha."
Huo Feng listened to this and began to follow the man but remained on guard.
