Chu Feng grabbed Little Fishyâs wrist to inspect her condition. She was severely debilitated, and the cause of it was her enfeebled bloodline. There was nothing he could do to help her.
However, he quickly noticed a surge of power inside her healing her.
She must have taken a pill specially prepared for her bloodline.
While the pill was formidable, its rate of assimilation was slow, so its effects werenât evident.
What Chu Feng could do for Little Fishy was to accelerate the pillâs assimilation and circulate the medicinal energy to hasten her rate of recovery.
âThanks, big brother.â
Little Fishy felt Chu Fengâs spirit power converging toward the pill inside her body and understood he was helping her assimilate the pill.
âYuâer, whatâs that in my chest? Is it related to your bloodline?â Chu Feng asked via voice transmission.
There was a fish imprint in his soulâs heart.
He was in a dreadful condition earlier, so much so that it wouldnât be surprising if he just dropped dead. Little Fishy had transferred powerful energy into him, allowing him to swiftly recover and even make a breakthrough.
His body had fully absorbed the energy before he could inspect it, but it left a little fish imprint in his soulâs heart.
âI shanât tell you.â Little Fishy revealed a mischievous smile before she quickly added, âDonât worry, Iâm fine. Itâs my clanâs special means, though it can only be used once, and I have used it on you.â
She raised her hand and pressed it on Chu Fengâs heart.
âThis way, big brother will forever carry my imprint with you.â
âDonât lie to me. Did it not affect you?â Chu Feng didnât believe her words.
How could transferring her bloodline power not have adverse effects on her?
âItâs the truth. I wonât lie to big brother. You can feel it too, right? Iâll be fine once I fully assimilate the pill.â
Little Fishyâs eyes morphed into beautiful, smiling crescents. Her gentle gaze made it hard to cast doubt on her words.
Still, Chu Feng remained unconvinced, just that he couldnât find evidence to refute her. Furthermore, he couldnât reverse what had already happened.
âThank you, Yuâer,â Chu Feng said.
He knew he could have died if not for Little Fishyâs help.
âThereâs no need to thank me, big brother. Didnât I say that Iâll protect you?â Little Fishy replied.
âYou should take care of yourself first. My heart will ache if you suffer over me,â Chu Feng said.
Little Fishy pressed her finger on Chu Fengâs heart and said, âDonât feel heartache over me, or else I might think that I was causing trouble in your heart.â
Chu Feng chuckled at her remark.
GAH!
A terrible cry suddenly echoed.
It was coming from Ouyang Lingyu.
Chu Feng looked over, only to see Ouyang Kuangfei and the other Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors being jolted off.
Ouyang Lingyu was shrouded in an almost tangible black aura that constantly pierced through his body, inflicting grievous pain on him. It was also this black aura that jolted Ouyang Kuangfei and the other Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors flying.
Refusing to give up, Ouyang Kuangfei approached Ouyang Lingyu once more. He was more prepared this time and was able to stand his ground, but going into Ouyang Lingyuâs proximity inflicted such immense pain on him that it was impossible to go any closer.
âPlease, Chu Feng, help me save big brother Lingyu! He may have a venomous tongue, but he isnât a bad person! He has helped me a lot since I was a child. He is very important to me! Our Ouyang Heavenly Clan will repay you for this favor!â
Ouyang Kuangfei was so worried that he kneeled to Chu Feng.
By this point, Chu Feng had already figured out the truth of the situation.
He initially thought Little Fishyâs enfeebled condition was Ouyang Lingyuâs doing, which was why he had sought to kill the latter. Later, he realized that Little Fishyâs condition was the result of her weakened bloodline; it had little to do with Ouyang Lingyu.
That being said, Ouyang Lingyu had a part to play in aggravating her condition, and he deserved to be punished for the awful words he uttered.
Chu Feng was planning to let Ouyang Lingyu off with a scare, but the latter feigned escape to attempt to take his life. That was when Chu Feng decided to kill Ouyang Lingyu.
It was only with Little Fishyâs intervention that he spared Ouyang Lingyu.
âPlease, Chu Feng. Save big brother Lingyu!â
More Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors gathered around Chu Feng and kneeled before him. Some even kowtowed to him. Ouyang Lingyu must have meant a lot to them.
But Chu Feng chose to outright ignore them.
His priority was Little Fishy. The only thing he wanted to do right now was to help Little Fishy assimilate the pill so that she could recover faster.
He had no reason to put someone who wanted him dead above Little Fishy.
âBig brother, why donât you help him?â
But Little Fishy spoke up on Ouyang Lingyu behalf, so Chu Feng gave the matter some thought.
Little Fishyâs might have changed, but her eyes were the same. From her eyes, Chu Feng understood her intention. She couldnât have cared less about Ouyang Lingyu; the one whom she was showing consideration to was Chu Feng.
Chu Feng had already offended the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, the Netherworld Sect, and the yet-to-fully-emerge Huangfu Heavenly Clan.
The Ouyang Heavenly Clan looked to be fairly powerful too.
Chu Feng would have far too many enemies if he got on their bad side too.
Saving Ouyang Lingyu might not necessarily turn the Ouyang Heavenly Clan into an ally, but as long as they had a sliver of conscience, they shouldnât make things difficult for Chu Feng.
Chu Feng turned to Ouyang Kuangfei and asked, âIâm guessing heâs not a junior?â
The Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs juniors were taken aback. They didnât expect Chu Feng to figure that out.
âYes.â Ouyang Kuangfei nodded.
âHeâs not just suffering from the forbidden medicineâs backlash. The Immemorial Massacre Sea saw through his deception and is punishing him for it,â Chu Feng explained.
One of his hands firmly held Little Fishyâs wrist. He used the other to form hand seals while murmuring a chant. Once everything was in place, he activated it to reveal a massive formation of over ten thousand meters tall above him. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He raised his arm, with his palm facing upward. The formation surged into his palm.
He raised his finger toward Ouyang Lingyu, and the formation transformed into a sphere and enveloped the latter. The sphere then dissipated into spirit power that cloaked Ouyang Lingyuâs body as if his skin.
Ouyang Lingyu continued howling in pain, but everyone could feel his vitals stabilizing.
âQuickly take him out of the Immemorial Massacre Sea. The Immemorial Massacre Seaâs punishment should stop once heâs outside. Just a reminder, you canât drag him out using a treasure. You have to physically carry him out,â Chu Feng said.
Ouyang Kuangfei and the others looked troubled.
The black aura shrouding Ouyang Lingyu indiscriminately attacked anyone who came within range. Anyone who wanted to carry him out would have to suffer the black auraâs attack.
