Chu Feng was infuriated to hear the Holy Light Clanâs intention to turn Long Xiaoxiao into a cultivation resource, but he suppressed his rage and continued his interrogation.
âSince you have already come to a decision, why donât you just capture Long Xiaoxiao right away? Is there a need to have her marry into the Holy Light Clan?â
Since Long Xiaoxiao was going to be dead by the end of it, there was no need for the Holy Light Clan to go through the additional hassle here. This anomaly piqued Chu Fengâs intrigue.
âItâs because of you. Our clan chief knows that youâre on close terms with Long Xiaoxiao, so he thought that youâll feel humiliated once you learn of the marriage. Perhaps, it might just be able to lure you out of your hiding.
âIâve been staying at the Dragon Clan not just to keep an eye on Long Xiaoxiao but also to see if youâd show up,â Shengguang Yunyue replied.
âThat makes sense. It turns out that itâs all directed toward me.â
With a flick of his wrist, Chu Feng picked up the poison bottle on the palaceâs floor.
It was the bottle of poison that the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief was forcing on Long Xiaoxiao earlier.
âThis poison isnât as simple as it looks. It must have something to do with the assimilation formation you spoke of earlier?â Chu Feng asked.
âT-thatâs right. Itâll maximize the effects of the formation if she enters it a month after consuming the poison,â Shengguang Yunyue replied.
âYou seem well-versed in it. I reckon that this isnât the first time the Holy Light Clan is doing such a thing.â
Shengguang Yunyue didnât answer his question, but her awkwardness verified his conjecture.
Shoosh!
Chu Feng took out a chain and bound Shengguang Yunyueâs body.
âChu Feng, Iâve already told you everything I know! What else do you want? All Iâm asking ofr is death. Are you going to go against your promise?â Shengguang Yunyue exclaimed.
âDonât worry, I have no intention of allowing vermin like you to continue existing in this world. However, I need to verify the authenticity of what youâve just said. Surely I donât have to explain to you what will happen next if I were to find out that you have lied to me?
Chu Feng quickly formed a series of hand seals to construct a barrier. The barrier interweaved with itself before finally forming a gourd, which swiftly released a powerful suction force that pulled Shengguang Yunyue inside.
After subduing Shengguang Yunyue, Chu Feng turned his eyes to the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
âAfter the trouble the Holy Light Clan went through to prepare this poison, donât you think that itâll be a waste to just throw it away? I donât think you would want to snub their sincerity given how much you revere them,â Chu Feng said.
âChu Feng, Xiaoxiao, I really didnât know that the Holy Light Clan is this vile! I would have never agreed to the marriage had I known in advance!â
Frightened, the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief kneeled on the ground and began kowtowing to Chu Feng and his daughter.
He was really afraid that Chu Feng would feed that poison to him. He knew that Chu Feng was more than capable of doing that.
Long Xiaoxiao was conflicted by the behavior of the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
She once thought that her father was the most amazing person in the world, but it turned out that he was an utterly shameless person deep down. She felt ashamed to be related to a person like that.
âChu Feng, forget it,â Long Xiaoxiao said with a sigh.
As much as she hated her father, she couldnât bear to kill him.
âXiaoxiao, youâre too soft. Iâll spare him since you said that you donât want him to die, but someone like him needs to be punished or else heâll never learn his lesson.â
Chu Feng stowed away the poison bottle, only to take out another one right after. The moment he uncorked a bottle, a putrid stench burst forth and drifted straight toward the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
âSpare me, Chu Feng! Spare me!â
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief knew that the content of the bottle was another poison, so he quickly pleaded for mercy while making an escape attempt. Before he could get far, a force dragged him all the way till he was standing in front of Chu Feng.
Chu Feng pried open his mouth and poured the poison down his throat before releasing him.
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief fell to his knees. He desperately tried to vomit the poison out, but it was to no avail.
âRest assured, this is a poison I concocted. It has an antidote. Iâll allow you to live as long as you obediently heed my instructions. If you dare to play tricks on me, Iâll bestow a bottle of this to every single person in your Dragon Clan. Iâll make sure that the Dragon Clan is completely eradicated from the face of this world!â Chu Feng said.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, I wouldnât dare to play tricks on you! Even if you didnât feed me this poison, Iâd still do as you say. Xiaoxiao is my daughter. I want to right her grievances too!
âHowever, I understand that you donât trust me. It was my foolishness in trusting the Holy Light Clan that landed Xiaoxiao in her current plight. Feel free to ask anything of me. Iâll carry your orders out without any hesitation!â
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief understood the position he was in, so he decided to display absolute subservience to Chu Feng instead.
âI want you to act as if nothing has happened here. I want the marriage to proceed as intended, but Iâll be bringing Xiaoxiao away with me. You should know what to do,â Chu Feng said.
âLeave it to me. Iâll make sure that no one finds out about what happened here!â the Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief replied.
âDragon Clanâs Clan Chief, Iâll put it out to you directly. Even if I canât completely eradicate the Holy Light Clan, Iâll weaken it to the point where it canât threaten the Dragon Clan anymore. As long as you donât commit any mistakes, I can guarantee the continued prosperity of the Dragon Clan. Just know that this is all because you have a good daughter.
âIâm only letting you off this once because Xiaoxiao has spoken on your behalf. If you dare do something that disgusts me once more, not even Xiaoxiao will be able to save you!â
The Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief could only nod his head profusely in response to Chu Fengâs warning. How could he possibly dare to have any objections?
Had it been the previous Chu Feng who said those words, he would have just laughed it off. However, the current Chu Feng did have the power to make such a threat to him.
âXiaoxiao, it isnât safe here. Follow me,â Chu Feng said.
âAlright.â
Long Xiaoxiao nodded in response. At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to be with Chu Feng.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He wasnât just the man she loved; he was also the one who gave her the greatest sense of security.
Chu Feng rose into the air, and Long Xiaoxiao followed him like an obedient little kitty.
Chu Feng didnât speak a word, so she chose to remain silent too, as if fearing that she would disturb him.
âXiaoxiao, arenât you curious what Iâm intending to do?â Chu Feng asked.
âYou can do whatever you want. I believe that youâll be able to save my mother.â
Long Xiaoxiaoâs eyes showed her unreserved trust for Chu Feng.
