Chapter 27: Seizing the Opportunity to Make Wang Shaosheng Wish He Were Dead

After listening to Lin Feng, He Tiantian retorted, "Lin Feng, if you hadn't made Young Master Wang beg you repeatedly before saving him, and if you hadn't angered him, would he have pushed you into the pool?"

"It’s clearly your fault, yet you’re blaming Young Master Wang instead."

"I really don't understand how you can be so stupid as to insist on going against him."

"He is the son of the City Lord. Is someone like you, a commoner, even in a position to offend him?"

With that, she turned to Qin Meng. "Sister Meng, I advise you to break up with Lin Feng immediately. Someone like him has no understanding of social graces and is destined to be poor for the rest of his life. If you stay with him, there is no hope for your future."

Lin Feng was speechless. He sighed inwardly, marveling at how He Tiantian would say anything to curry favor with Wang Xingyu, twisting black into white without a second thought.

What left him even more speechless was that Qin Meng actually agreed with He Tiantian’s words. She demanded that he apologize to Wang Xingyu and detoxify him immediately; when he refused, she threatened to break up with him.

A wave of profound disappointment washed over Lin Feng. He never imagined that Qin Meng would be just as opportunistic and sycophantic as He Tiantian. It was no wonder they were such close friends.

Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his chest. He wanted to roar that they could break up, and even if they did, he would never detoxify Wang Xingyu. However, before he could speak, a sudden idea struck him. He realized he had an opportunity to take revenge on Wang Xingyu.

He could use an emetic to induce vomiting. And what was the best thing to use for that? He chuckled to himself. Why, urine and feces, of course!

*Hmph!* Since you are all forcing me to detoxify Wang Xingyu, I will just use this method to do it!

Lin Feng considered this, almost blurting it out, but realized it would be too obvious—even a fool would know he was doing it on purpose. Instead, he feigned compliance. "Fine, I will find a way to detoxify Wang Xingyu."

With that, he walked into the treehouse, took Wang Xingyu’s hand, and began to pretend to take his pulse.

Wang Xingyu, believing that Lin Feng had finally agreed to save him, smiled smugly. "Heh, so what if I repaid your kindness with enmity and almost killed you? You’re still going to save me in the end."

"A poor person like you is destined to be trampled under our feet."

"And do you know the difference between being 'devoted' and being a 'bootlicker'?"

"When both do good things for a woman, to a poor person, it’s just being a bootlicker, but for us, it’s true devotion."

"You think that by obediently listening to Qin Meng and showing her your devotion, she will stay with you?"

"In her eyes, you are nothing but a bootlicker."

"To her, no matter how much people like you sacrifice, it’s always seen as having ulterior motives, so it’s only natural."

"But for people like us, even if we only say a few sweet words, it is seen as sincere, so they are always willing to throw themselves at us."

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned deeply, his heart burning with rage. He wanted to shout that Qin Meng wasn't that kind of person, but her earlier words proved that she was exactly that.

Seeing Lin Feng’s defiant expression, Wang Xingyu laughed. "Heh, not convinced? Just watch. It will only take me a few words to make Qin Meng my girlfriend."

Lin Feng didn't want to engage with him, as he realized that such a possibility was very real.

At this moment, He Tiantian asked, "Lin Feng, how is Young Master Wang?"

"Yes, how is he?" Qin Meng chimed in immediately.

Hearing this, Lin Feng gritted his teeth in frustration. He felt more and more that Wang Xingyu was right—it would only take a few sweet words for Qin Meng to agree to be his girlfriend. He must have been blind to have ever fallen for such a shallow woman!

He took a deep breath to steady himself and said, "His condition is very serious. The medicinal herbs I’ve gathered cannot neutralize his poison."

He Tiantian immediately questioned him. "How is that possible? Lin Feng, are you just saying that because you don’t want to save him?"

Qin Meng snorted. "Lin Feng, why are you being difficult again? Did you forget what I told you? Hurry up and save the Young Master!"

Lin Feng said, "Don't be so anxious. The herbs I found can't cure him, but there is one other way."

"What way?" He Tiantian and Qin Meng asked almost in unison, their faces filled with anticipation.

Lin Feng was speechless. As Qin Meng’s boyfriend, he had never been treated with such concern by her. Gritting his teeth in resentment, he said, "The method is simple: induce vomiting!"

He Tiantian asked, "Induce vomiting? How? By sticking fingers down his throat?"

Lin Feng smiled inwardly. *Heh! He Tiantian, you are truly clever to know that method.* This would give him the perfect chance to torture Wang Xingyu a few more times and make him wish he were dead.

Lin Feng said, "That works. You try it first."

He Tiantian laughed. "Haha, I’m so smart. Young Master Wang, bear with it, I’ll help you. Whenever our colleagues get drunk, I’m always the one who helps them by sticking my fingers down their throats."

Wang Xingyu nodded. "Yes, thank you."

He Tiantian then stuck her fingers into Wang Xingyu’s mouth. Since Wang Xingyu hadn't eaten much, the reaction wasn't strong; she had to dig until his throat started bleeding before he finally vomited a little.

Everything went exactly as Lin Feng had anticipated. Seeing Wang Xingyu in such distress gave him a sense of satisfaction. This was far more enjoyable than simply killing him!

Lin Feng said, "It’s finally out. Let me see if we need to induce more vomiting."

He stepped forward, took Wang Xingyu’s hand, and pretended to check his pulse again. A moment later, he shook his head. "He hasn't vomited enough. We need to keep going to fully purge the mushroom poison."

He looked back at He Tiantian. "Continue."

"Alright!" He Tiantian replied, stepping forward. "Young Master Wang, open your mouth, I’ll help you again."

Wang Xingyu waved his hands frantically. "No, no more! My throat is already bleeding from your digging; it feels like it’s on fire. It’s unbearable."

He looked at Lin Feng. "You’re the doctor—surely there’s another way to induce vomiting? I don't want to have my throat dug into anymore. Can’t you hear that my voice is already abnormal?"

Lin Feng noticed his voice was indeed raspy, which made him even happier. It meant his throat was seriously injured—it was likely painful for him to swallow anything.

Lin Feng pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is indeed a formula to induce vomiting, which involves consuming *renzhonghuang* (prepared licorice soaked in human feces) and *jinzhi* (fermented fecal broth)."

He Tiantian asked, "What is *renzhonghuang*? And *jinzhi*—there’s no gold here, so where would we get 'gold broth'?"

Qin Meng and Cheng Xiangyu also looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

Wang Xingyu, however, roared, "Lin Feng! What kind of method is this? You want me to eat excrement? I can see you don't want to save me at all—you’re just trying to humiliate me!"

The three women didn't know what the terms meant, but once they heard the word "excrement," they understood immediately. He Tiantian and Qin Meng concluded that Lin Feng was intentionally trying to humiliate Wang Xingyu.

Cheng Xiangyu said nothing. She had always felt that Wang Xingyu’s act of pushing Lin Feng into the pool was an ungrateful betrayal, and she had heard of the use of such substances in ancient medicine. Most importantly, she knew that without Lin Feng, they would struggle to survive on this deserted island.
