"You little girl, you still dare talk back? I warned you before that the outside world is extremely dangerous. I told you not to run around all the time. You didn't listen. Now you finally understand, right? If I hadn't followed you all the way, you would have died this time."
The old man rolled his eyes and scolded her angrily. But as soon as he finished, he suddenly realized he had said something he shouldn't have, and quickly shut his mouth.
"?"
Hearing this, Zi Yan froze for a moment.
Then she instantly jumped up. "You old man! You actually watched that old woman bully me the whole time! I! Am! Not! Done! With! You!"
"Crap… I said too much. I'm out of here."
Seeing that Zi Yan was genuinely angry, Zhu Li immediately fled without hesitation. As he ran, he even desperately signaled at Lin Feng with his eyes.
The look basically said: We've met before, and I even saved you just now… hurry and cover for me!
Lin Feng received the signal and could only smile helplessly. His body flashed through the air, landing beside Zi Yan. He gently stroked the hair of the furious, hopping little girl and comforted her: "Zi Yan, let it go. What matters is that we're all safe."
"Yeah, little girl. If you want revenge, work hard on your cultivation. When you're strong enough, go slap that old woman yourself."
After dropping these words, Zhu Li dove into the nearby space and escaped.
"No wonder Elder Zhu Li didn't kill Qing Xian, even though she attacked Zi Yan. So this was his plan."
Hearing Zhu Li's parting words, Lin Feng immediately understood.
He had been puzzled before—Zhu Li was clearly much stronger than Qing Xianzi, and could even summon other experts. Why didn't he just kill her?
Turns out, he was intentionally leaving Qing Xian alive to serve as Zi Yan's motivation to cultivate. Thinking about how Zi Yan lost all interest in cultivation after growing up, Lin Feng suddenly understood Zhu Li's intentions.
After all, to the people of Eastern Dragon Island, Zi Yan was the future Dragon Emperor—the hope of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to end its long division and reunify. Seeing this girl lose her drive for cultivation, of course they were anxious.
Leaving behind an enemy—wasn't that the best form of motivation?
"This old man… he really pisses me off! He actually ran away just like that!" Zi Yan grumbled nonstop.
Hearing that, Lin Feng thought of Zhu Li's intentions and lightly patted her head: "It's fine. Worst case, we'll take revenge ourselves later. I refuse to believe we can't kill her eventually."
As he spoke, Lin Feng's expression gradually turned cold.
Xiao Yan had tried to kill him repeatedly. He definitely wouldn't just let that go. Thinking of Qing Xian, who had attacked them earlier, a flash of killing intent passed through Lin Feng's eyes.
He thought silently, "Flower Sect… since you insist on meddling in my business with Xiao Yan, don't blame me for retaliating."
"You're right! I don't believe we can't kill her!" Zi Yan clenched her fists so tightly that her joints cracked. She gritted her teeth in anger. Thinking about how Lin Feng had almost been forced to self-destruct earlier, she truly exploded in rage this time.
"Lin Feng big brother…"
At this moment, Dan Chen, who had finally recovered from her terror, rushed straight into Lin Feng's arms with a sob.
"There, there… good girl, Chen'er. We're safe now."
Lin Feng immediately wrapped one arm around her slender waist and gently stroked her smooth blue hair with the other, softly comforting her.
Dan Chen had grown up in a stable, sheltered environment—this time she had truly been frightened. She had no grudge with the Flower Sect at all; she was dragged into this solely because of him.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng became even more gentle toward her.
"Big Brother Lin Feng… don't ever do that again… you almost scared me to death…"
Breathing in his familiar scent, feeling his gentle touch, Dan Chen lifted her tear-streaked face and spoke with a trembling voice.
"All right, all right. Your husband agrees to everything. I promise—I will never let you go through something like that again."
Seeing Dan Chen like a frightened little bunny, Lin Feng's heart melted completely, and he agreed to her every word without hesitation.
"Eh?"
Seeing Dan Chen burst into tears and Lin Feng instantly agreeing to anything, Zi Yan suddenly felt as if a whole new world had opened before her.
Then her petite body moved, and she also threw herself at him, shouting, "Lin Feng, I was scared to death too, I urgently need ten thousand seven-colored eighth-tier Pills and one thousand eight-colored eighth-tier Pills to calm down, wah wah wah."
As she spoke, Zi Yan immediately started sobbing loudly. With how she looked, anyone who didn't know better would probably think Lin Feng had died.
"Ten thousand seven-colored eighth-tier Pills, one thousand eight-colored eighth-tier Pills, why don't you just sell me and see if you can gather that many."
Lin Feng looked at Zi Yan in his arms, her bright eyes fixed on him, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently. Not to mention him, even Dan Chen, who was still quietly sobbing in Lin Feng's arms a moment ago, was dumbstruck.
So many top-tier pills... even the Pill Tower probably couldn't produce that many.
Seeing that her request seemed a little unrealistic, Zi Yan looked at Lin Feng's storage ring and said, "Fine, then however many you have on you, give them to this girl first to calm my nerves. The rest, you can slowly give later."
"You little brat, you're basically a bottomless pit. Pills I don't have, and my life I'm not giving either."
Seeing her drooling in anticipation, Lin Feng pinched her smooth cheek helplessly.
"Tch, stingy."
Realizing she wasn't getting what she wanted, Zi Yan instantly stopped pretending to cry and gave him a "you're really stingy" face.
"You girl..."
Seeing this, Lin Feng could only shake his head helplessly. Then he brushed his storage ring and took out a few jade bottles. "Here, take these."
"Hehehe, Lin Feng, you're such a good person, mua~"
Seeing the pills, Zi Yan's little face lit up, and she smacked several loud kisses onto his cheek. Then she happily took the jade bottles and hopped off to the side.
"This girl... really has no heart and no worries."
Seeing that, Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, then turned his gaze toward the shattered remains of the Sky Demon Puppets below.
"Ah, this time I really suffered heavy losses, more than ten Sky Demon Puppets on me, all wiped out in one go."
Thinking about the Sky Demon Puppets he had painstakingly refined and upgraded, only for them to end up as scattered fragments, Lin Feng felt deep heartache. After all, to gather materials for those puppets, he and several of his wives had worked tirelessly.
