As if sensing that fervent, trembling gaze directed at him, Lin Feng—who had been gently stroking the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves—slowly lifted his head.
His eyes met the Titled Douluo whose entire face was basically shouting, "Please praise me!! Please praise me!!!"
A faint smile tugged at Lin Feng's lips.
"Yue Guan."
"...Well done."
Just four words.
No eloquent praise.
No exaggerated approval.
But to Chrysanthemum Douluo—
It was a heavenly thunderbolt straight into his heart.
His entire body jolted violently.
Junior… Junior… praised me?!
The giant boulder that had been suspended in his chest for days crashed to the ground all at once.
A tidal wave of joy, relief, and fulfillment overwhelmed him so utterly that he nearly ascended on the spot.
But Lin Feng continued calmly:
"Since you performed excellently this time, I've decided…"
"You will be removed from the observation list ahead of schedule."
"From today onward, your lottery draws will return to normal."
The room went still for half a heartbeat.
Then—
Ghost Douluo, Hu Liena, Ning Fengzhi, and the rest all revealed sincere delight.
And Chrysanthemum Douluo—
The moment he processed those words—
His pupils shook wildly.
His eyes turned red.
And then—
Tears burst out.
Like pearls scattering from a broken string.
"Wuuu—"
He raised one hand to cover his mouth, desperately trying not to sob aloud, while the other fumbled into his robes.
Everyone knew.
Ever since he offended Junior and was placed on the "observation list," this matter had become the shameful thorn lodged deep in his heart.
It wasn't just about the downgrade in lottery rewards.
It was a brand.
A humiliation.
A reminder of the foolishness and disrespect he once committed.
He originally thought he would have to suffer in silence for the full three months.
But Junior actually brought up the matter himself—
And directly wiped all his "sins" clean.
The sudden forgiveness…
The unexpected recognition…
Crushed the last trace of composure this mighty Titled Douluo had left.
Soon—
He pulled out a meticulously folded, pristine, never-once-used silk handkerchief from his chest.
Yue Guan's treasured emergency handkerchief—finally making its debut.
He wiped his tears uncontrollably, his shoulders shaking.
Ghost Douluo hurried forward, patting his back with a helpless smile.
"Alright, alright, don't cry. It's embarrassing…"
Lin Feng watched the deeply moving(?) scene with a straight face before shifting his gaze to the others.
"You've all worked hard. I'm very satisfied with your results this time."
Devil Bear Douluo, Saint Dragon Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, and the rest instantly flushed with excitement.
"Junior flatters us! Serving you is our duty!"
They placed one hand over their chests and bowed deeply.
Among everyone, the happiest was undeniably Ning Fengzhi.
He watched the harmonious unity between Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo and his own Seven Treasure Glazed Tile experts, and his heart surged with emotion.
After last night's battle…
Their alliance with Spirit Hall had grown even firmer.
And their sect had clung even tighter to Junior's divine thigh.
Just then—
Gold Crocodile Douluo suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh, right! Junior!"
"Junior still has something to present to you!"
Everyone turned to him instantly.
"Still something? Besides the Blue Silver Emperor?"
Gold Crocodile Douluo took out a heavy black iron box from his storage tool.
Click.
The box opened—
A magnificent torrent of light burst forth, illuminating the entire Feng Ran Pavilion like a divine sunrise.
Inside—
A leg bone.
Azure-gold, flawless, ancient patterns etched across its surface.
An overwhelming flood of life energy and spirit power poured from it in waves.
A hundred thousand year spirit bone.
And not just any—
A Blue Silver Emperor-exclusive hundred thousand year right leg bone.
Hiss—!!
Everyone inhaled sharply.
Gold Crocodile Douluo held the box reverently, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly:
"Junior, I believe this is the 'little surprise' you spoke of."
"Junior has brought it to you."
All the surrounding Titled Douluo nearly cursed out loud.
You sneaky old crocodile!!
Thick eyebrows!
Righteous face!
And yet you hid this treasure the whole time?!
You were just waiting to dramatically present it alone for extra credit, weren't you?!
Shameless!!
But Golden Crocodile Douluo calmly explained:
"Everyone, do not misunderstand."
"First, the Blue Silver Emperor was critical yesterday. Yue Guan risked his life, so there was no room to discuss anything else."
"Second…"
He swept his gaze across the crowd meaningfully.
"This is a hundred thousand year spirit bone. A fortune beyond measure."
"This old man worried that… just in case…"
"I say just in case someone was momentarily tempted, and displeased Junior—"
"That would be a sin of ten thousand deaths."
"Therefore, I chose to personally safeguard it and deliver it intact to Junior myself."
Everyone present:
…Shameless old reptile.
Who are you implying?!
Do you doubt our loyalty?!
Our loyalty to Junior can shake heaven and earth!!
We live as Junior's dogs—
We die as Junior's dead dogs!!
However—
As they silently raged…
A horrifying realization struck them.
Had they… really become numb?
Once upon a time, even a fifty-thousand-year spirit bone would keep them ecstatic for days.
But now…
Ever since meeting Junior and seeing his endless divine artifacts—
Even a hundred thousand year spirit bone…
Felt… normal?
Hiss—
Terrifying.
While everyone was lost in thought—
The Blue Silver Emperor, still wrapped intimately around Lin Feng's neck, suddenly extended a tender vine.
It reached toward the spirit bone, trembling with longing.
Lin Feng understood instantly.
Recovering this bone would greatly accelerate her restoration.
With a thought, the spirit bone floated from Golden Crocodile Douluo's hands into Lin Feng's.
"Well done, Golden Crocodile."
Lin Feng's light praise filled the old crocodile with joy.
He was about to speak when—
A booming, anxious voice resounded from outside the pavilion.
It echoed through the entire restaurant.
"I am Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire!"
"I have come to apologize to Lord Deity for my wicked son Dai Mubai's offense against Divinity!"
