Chapter 17

"Me, buy a pack of cigarettes!"

It was that bastard Zhou Fuquan. Chen Fang was almost driven mad with frustration. This scoundrel often came to buy cigarettes in the middle of the night, just to see her in her pajamas and look for an opportunity.

"Village Chief, I'm already asleep. Come back tomorrow," Chen Fang said, feeling a bit guilty, wondering if Zhou Fuquan had noticed that Ding Hao was in her room.

"No way, I'm out of cigarettes and can't sleep at night," Zhou Fuquan insisted, shouting from outside the door.

Chen Fang, extremely unwilling, returned to the inner room and deliberately put on a thick coat from the wardrobe to cover herself up before opening the door and letting Zhou Fuquan in. She then bent down, took a pack of cigarettes from the counter, and threw it at him angrily.

"Xiao Chen, you look great tonight, your face is all rosy. Is there some good news?" Zhou Fuquan picked up the cigarettes, didn't even bother to open them, and instead smiled at Chen Fang, his mouth even drooling.

"Village Chief, what are you talking about? What good news could I have at this hour of the night? Leave quickly, I need to sleep."

"Don't be like that, let me sit for a while. Xiao Chen, Brother Yongli hasn't been home for a year. Don't you miss a man? I'm old, but I still have plenty of energy. You can try if you don't believe me..."

"Fatso, if you don't leave, I'll call the police!" Sure enough, here he was again. Every time Zhou Fuquan came to buy cigarettes at night, he always tried to test Chen Fang.

"Look, we're just helping each other out. Why are you so angry..." Seeing Chen Fang's stern face, Zhou Fuquan still didn't give up.

"Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll really call the police!" Chen Fang didn't back down at all. She didn't like Zhou Fuquan, a fat man, and especially not with Ding Hao, the young bull, lying in bed tonight.

"Don't be so fierce, I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" Zhou Fuquan said he was leaving, but he tilted his head to peek inside. Chen Fang was scared. Usually, there were no men in her house, and this guy always pretended to look around. This time, there was really someone, so Chen Fang decisively took off her slippers and hit Zhou Fuquan on the back.

Zhou Fuquan, after being hit a few times, had no choice but to leave. Although he was a village bully, this small store was too close to the street. If Chen Fang shouted, he would be in trouble. After all, Chen Fang was quite well-known in the area.

Finally, after driving Zhou Fuquan away, Chen Fang calmed down and prepared to return to the bedroom to have a good time with Ding Hao, only to find that Ding Hao was already asleep.

"Little Ding, Little Ding... Wake up, wake up..." No matter how much Chen Fang shook him, Ding Hao continued to sleep soundly.

"Zhou Fuquan, I curse your ancestors!" Chen Fang was furious. If it weren't for this old scoundrel, she might have been having a great time with Little Ding. Chen Fang also regretted giving him too much medicine and letting him drink alcohol. This young man drank so much and lay in bed for so long; it was no wonder he was sleeping so deeply.

Ding Hao slept soundly, but Chen Fang was completely sleepless. Several times, she quietly lay on top of Ding Hao, rubbing against his back, but he didn't wake up. Later, Chen Fang even tried to grab him, but Ding Hao still didn't react. After several attempts, she gave up.

At dawn, Ding Hao woke up on Chen Fang's stomach. This position was because Chen Fang, unable to sleep, had dragged Ding Hao onto her body, pressing him down to satisfy herself. After waking up, Ding Hao got up and started looking for his clothes.

"Little Ding, what are you doing?" Chen Fang thought Ding Hao was scared and wanted to sneak away. She wouldn't let him go. They didn't finish last night, and Ding Hao should be full of energy after a good night's sleep.

"Sis, I need to hide in the mountains during the day. If Zhang Yongwei and his gang know I'm in the village, they'll cause trouble."

"It's still early, sleep a bit more." Chen Fang suddenly got up, wrapped her arms around Ding Hao's neck, and her two big breasts kept rubbing against him.

"Sis Chen, I can't. If the villagers find out, it won't be good. You need to be careful too; Zhang Yongwei is not a good person." Although Chen Fang's actions were tempting, Ding Hao didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. In fact, he had really fallen asleep at first, then pretended to sleep, and later fell asleep again while pretending.

Moreover, after a night's sleep, the effects of the medicine had worn off, and Ding Hao had calmed down. He still felt that his virginity should be given to his girlfriend!

Another concern was the possibility of Zhang Yongwei and his gang finding out he was in the village. Although Ding Hao felt confident that he could handle Zhang Yongwei, this guy could use other means to disrupt the villagers' lives, especially for someone like Chen Fang, who lived at the edge of the village and ran a small store, making her very noticeable.

"Where are you going? Will you come back tonight?" Seeing that she couldn't keep Ding Hao, she reluctantly let him go and helped him tidy his clothes.

"Just nearby in the mountains. I might not come back tonight. If anything happens, call me. If Zhang Yongwei comes to bully you, let me know immediately."

"You're so considerate, I'll go heat up some food for you."

"Don't bother, or you'll rape me again. Just give me some dry food."

"You heartless thing!" Chen Fang pinched Ding Hao's arm hard, then, with a face full of spring, put on a coat and went out to find food for Ding Hao.

"Sis Chen, I'll be off then."

"Little Ding, come back early tonight, I miss you!" Chen Fang hugged Ding Hao affectionately, like a college couple about to part at the train station.

"Be careful, I might not come back tonight." Ding Hao was telling the truth. He had originally planned to have dinner at Xia Lin's house, but ended up at Chen Fang's. He still liked the thrill of it.

"You men are all heartless!" Chen Fang complained while handing Ding Hao a plastic bag containing cookies, mineral water, and other essentials. Ding Hao didn't argue, took the bag, and quickly left the village under the cover of dawn, heading to the familiar cave at Er Fangtou.

It must be said that Chen Fang was very thoughtful towards her young lover. The bag contained milk, bread, and everything else. After exercising in the space for a while, Ding Hao returned to the cave, and the sky was already bright. He sat down to eat breakfast, thinking about what to do next.

Zhang Yongwei was just a small inconvenience in life. After a few days of not finding Ding Hao, they naturally gave up. When school started, he could consider living on campus like other students. Zhang Yongwei, no matter how arrogant, wouldn't dare cause trouble at Erzhong, where many students' parents were more powerful than Zhang Yongwei's father.

Hiding from the police was also a good excuse. These days, Ding Hao didn't plan to waste time and decided to focus on improving his physical strength. Zhang Yongwei's issue wasn't resolved, and he needed to level up quickly. Moreover, his studies and cooperation with the Golden Dragon and Xia Die weren't as tight as they should be, so he planned to use this break to improve and aim for level 10.

The Golden Dragon didn't disappoint Ding Hao. Its level had caught up with him, and its size was almost the same as Ding Hao's, with a weight equivalent to four or five Ding Haos. Most importantly, the Golden Dragon could now solo 7-8 level monsters, and the gold coins it earned were increasing rapidly.

However, Ding Hao wasn't in a hurry to spend the money, so he temporarily stored it in the game. The most important thing for him now was to find some magic books to learn. Unlike skills, magic required books, which were very rare, but once learned, they didn't need to be leveled up.

When Ding Hao was level 5, he learned the Logistics skill, which proved very useful, increasing his movement speed by 15%. With his already high agility, the speed advantage was significant. Guided by Xia Die, Ding Hao and the Golden Dragon worked closely together, starting to test their abilities against higher-level monsters.

Finally, after eliminating a team of archers in a canyon, the system dropped a magic book for Ding Hao. He eagerly picked it up and found it was Stone Skin. Ding Hao had been wanting this book for a long time. Stone Skin, as the name suggests, increased his defense during battles.

Ding Hao quickly learned the magic and checked his attributes. Indeed, his defense increased by 15%. He was overjoyed because this 15% was applicable in the real world, and the higher his base defense, the greater the increase. Although it was only 15%, it was already very powerful. At least in hand-to-hand combat, Ding Hao had an extra advantage!

After learning the skill, Ding Hao was so happy that he even hugged and kissed the Golden Dragon, making Xia Die envious and jealous. The Golden Dragon, confused, shook its head, perhaps thinking that its master was being a bit too much. After all, magic books weren't rare in this space.

After learning the magic, Ding Hao took the Golden Dragon and Xia Die to test the power against higher-level archers before leaving the magical space. It must be said that the cave was very comfortable on a sunny day. The scenery outside was beautiful, and it was cool inside. The key was that it was rarely visited. Ding Hao took off all his clothes to avoid sweating and dirtying them.

Although he had money now, he only had a few sets of summer clothes, and the gold coins in the game hadn't been exchanged yet. The money in his pocket was also running low. Ding Hao knew he would need to spend a lot in the future, so he cherished these few decent clothes.

Moreover, the cave was warm in winter and cool in summer, and wearing clothes to sleep was a bit wasteful. After a simple lunch of dry food, Ding Hao lay naked in the cave for a nap.

In the morning, Ding Hao had received a text from Xia Lin, saying that the school would send a teacher for a home visit and asking if it was convenient for him to go home. Ding Hao didn't take it seriously and replied that he lived alone, so a home visit was unnecessary. He suggested waiting until school started or having the teacher talk to his neighbors if needed.
