âChu Feng, how are you feeling?â
A person stepped through the crowd and approached Chu Feng. She grabbed Chu Fengâs arm and began checking his body from head to toe. Following that, she took out a few pills and stuffed them into Chu Fengâs mouth.
Had it been anyone else, Chu Feng would have surely sent her flying with a slap. However, he chose to watch as that person did as she pleased with a smile.
That was because she was none other than Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao was simply too worried about Chu Feng that she brought out all of her best pills.
âHey, Xiaoxiao. Even if these pills are beneficial to my recovery, you canât just feed them to me as if they are grains of rice. Thatâs too much!â Chu Feng remarked with a chuckle as he took a step back, refusing to swallow the medicine.
âThese pills will help with your recovery,â Long Xiaoxiao advised.
âIâm fine. These injuries mean nothing at all. Thereâs no need for any recovery pills,â Chu Feng replied.
He meant what he said. These injuries were minor compared to what he had suffered before, and he was already used to it by now.
Besides, the pills that Long Xiaoxiao had to offer wouldnât help much in his recovery.
âAre you really fine?â Long Xiaoxiao asked with a frown.
As a world spiritist herself, she could tell the injuries Chu Fengâs had sustained, so she didnât think that Chu Feng was really fine.
âIâm really fine. Stop crying. Youâre a princess of the Dragon Clan. Others will laugh at you for this,â Chu Feng said as he pinched Long Xiaoxiaoâs little cheeks.
He noticed that Long Xiaoxiaoâs eyes were glistening with tears, so he was trying to console her by teasing her a little.
âWho says that Iâm crying?â
Long Xiaoxiao also thought that it wasnât appropriate for her to cry under such circumstances, so she quickly wiped off the tears brimming in her eyes. However, she soon turned to Chu Feng and asked once more, âAre you really fine?â
âYes, Iâm really fine. Give me two hours, and Iâll be able to make a full recovery by then,â Chu Feng replied.
âFine, Iâll give you two hours then. If you donât recover by then, youâll have to eat all of my pills.â
Long Xiaoxiao pulled out another fistful of pills from her Cosmos Sack. It was enough to fill half a rice bowl. However, she wasnât trying to harm Chu Feng here.
These pills were actually incredibly valuable. Even if Chu Feng consumed all of it, it wouldnât have any adverse side effects on his body.
Chu Feng was left at a loss for words.
Even though Long Xiaoxiao tended to be a little mischievous, she was like a mature adult when it came down to business. Yet, she felt a little doltish right now.
Of course, Chu Feng understood how Long Xiaoxiaoâs changes had come about.
âAlright. If I donât recover by then, Iâll eat all of your pills,â Chu Feng gave his promise.
âItâs a deal then! You mustnât go back on your words!â
Long Xiaoxiao stretched out her pinky, demanding Chu Feng to seal the promise between them with a pinky hook.
With a chuckle, Chu Feng hooked her pinky and affirmed his promise.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meanwhile, Shengguang Shishen glanced at his drenched right hand. He had been sweating profusely all this while out of nervously. In his hand was a small jade stone that was around the size of a fingernail, and hidden in the jade stone was a talisman paper.
If he were to crush the talisman paper, it would immediately alert the Holy Monarch of the danger that the Holy Valley was in.
He was worried that the expert who had yet to reveal himself thus far would really massacre the Holy Valley should anything happen to Chu Feng. The only one who stood a chance at dealing with an expert of that caliber was the Holy Monarch.
If Chu Feng had really died in the Holy Lotus Treeâs cultivation realm, he would crush the talisman paper right away to inform the Holy Monarch.
It was fortunate that the worst didnât happen.
Since Chu Feng was safe and sound, it was unlikely that the expert would show himself. So, he shot one last nervous glance at the jade stone before stowing it away.
Most of the members from the Holy Valley watched the interaction between Chu Feng and Long Xiaoxiao with nonchalance, but there was one person who revealed a look of displeasure.
That person was none other than Shengguang Xintian.
âElder, I have a request,â Chu Feng suddenly spoke to Shengguang Buyu.
He could tell that Shengguang Buyu wasnât the one who called the shots here, but the latter seemed to be on close terms with Daoist Niantian. If there was anyone in the Holy Valley whom he could trust, that person would be Shengguang Buyu.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, feel free to state your request,â Shengguang Buyu said.
âElder, I would like to use your Holy Valleyâs cultivation land for a breakthrough,â Chu Feng said.
Everyone immediately turned their eyes toward Chu Feng.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, are you going to make a breakthrough in your martial cultivation or spirit power?â Shengguang Buyu asked.
âMartial cultivation,â Chu Feng replied.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, when do you need it?â Shengguang Buyu asked.
âRight now,â Chu Feng replied.
The crowd from the Holy Valley revealed conflicted looks on their faces.
Chu Fengâs words were suggesting that he was going to make a breakthrough.
âYoung friend Chu Feng, are you already on the verge of a breakthrough now?â Shengguang Buyu asked directly.
âYes, I can already feel my bottleneck now. Iâm not sure whether Iâll succeed, so Iâd like to use your cultivation land to further my chances,â Chu Feng replied with a smile.
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
It was already shocking enough that Chu Feng was able to recover his cultivation in the cultivation land, but he was actually going to make a breakthrough now!
Most of the elders of the Holy Valley had already asked the juniors about what they had gained from the Holy Lotus Tree. The benefits from the Holy Lotus Tree would indeed help them in the long run, but it wouldnât induce an immediate rise in their cultivation.
So why was Chu Feng going to make a breakthrough right now?
Could this really be the difference in their talent?
âYoung friend Chu Feng is indeed an incredible individual. Here, follow me.â
Shengguang Buyu couldnât conceal the conflicted look on his face, but he still led the way for Chu Feng.
âWait here for me,â Chu Feng instructed Long Xiaoxiao before leaving with Shengguang Buyu.
But as soon as Chu Feng and Shengguang Buyu started walking away, a frail voice echoed from behind. It was extremely weak, but the crowd was still able to hear it loud and clear.
It was from Shengguang Haoxuan.
âLord Baimei, kill Chu Feng. Kill Chu Feng...â
Shengguang Haoxuan didnât lose his consciousness, but he had been delirious from the constant excruciating pain he was put under. It was only thanks to the treatment of the elders that he finally regained a shred of his rationality.
Upon realizing he was safe now, he turned to Shengguang Baimei in hopes that the latter would avenge him.
âShut up!â
However, his plea was immediately shut down by Shengguang Baimei.
Shengguang Baimai anxiously turned to Chu Feng and said, âYoung hero Chu Feng, you should quickly head over and strive to make a breakthrough in your cultivation. You need not bother about this brat.â
Chu Feng responded with a smile before leaving with Shengguang Buyu.
Shengguang Haoxuan was confused by the development of events.
Be it his widened empty eye sockets, agape tongueless mouth, or stiffened expression, they all showcased the utmost shock he was feeling at the moment.
He could tell that the person who spoke earlier was Shengguang Baimei. He could at least tell as much even if he was unable to see.
But why would Lord Baimei say such words?
What was going on right now?
