Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 1657: Chapter 1658: Moonlit Rendezvous! (Three Updates)

Murong Bai gave Ling Feng and the others some heartfelt advice, then left Ling Feng’s room with a dejected expression.

Clearly, the martial arts tea gathering at Absolute Heaven Peak had dealt him a heavy blow. Otherwise, given his usual pride, he wouldn’t have lowered his status to share such information with Ling Feng.

Although Murong Bai’s character might not be ideal, he still holds genuine loyalty towards the sect, which makes him far better than that ungrateful white-eyed wolf, Qin Zucheng.

After Murong Bai left, only Tuoba Yan and Ling Feng were left alone in the room.

Ling Feng took out a bottle of Burning Sky Dragon Flame Marrow, handed it to Tuoba Yan, and said gently, ”Yan’er, this is the Healing Holy Medicine. Participating in Sunset Chosen One might inevitably lead to injuries, so keep this Burning Sky Dragon Flame Marrow ready.”

”You still have a whole bottle!”

Tuoba Yan’s eyes slightly widened, gazing deeply at Ling Feng before bursting into a chuckle, ”That Junior Brother Lio, wasn’t his effort in vain?”

”That guy is quite arrogant; consider it a lesson for him.”

Ling Feng shrugged indifferently. Such people, because they possess some talent, often act as if they are the best in the world. Giving him a tough time today might actually help him grow and might even earn his gratitude in the future.

But if he only focuses on revenge against me, he’s destined to fail for the rest of his life.

”That’s true.”

Tuoba Yan nodded, thinking that Ling Feng’s tactics were becoming increasingly ”rich.” It seemed true that association with such people could influence one’s character; surely it was that despicable donkey corrupting him!

The two exchanged some cultivation experiences and as the evening approached, Tuoba Yan finally left Ling Feng’s residence.

After Tuoba Yan left, and when it was late into the night, a figure sprang from Ling Feng’s room, leaping swiftly toward the high peaks of East Spirit Immortal Pond.

This figure was none other than Ling Feng.

He had arranged a secret meeting with Holy Daughter Yue Huaqin of Yunluo Sacred Land at midnight, in a relatively secluded area under the three high peaks.

Since this was the first day of the opening of Dragon Peak Holy Mountain, most of the audience hadn’t arrived yet, making the area relatively quiet. Once Sunset Chosen One officially starts three days later, even the small quiet woods might be home to martial artists camping overnight.

Not long after Ling Feng arrived, a slender and graceful figure also approached under the moonlight.

This girl was indeed Yue Huaqin.

Despite Ling Feng being accustomed to beautiful women and quite immune to their charms, Yue Huaqin still possessed a unique attraction. Even as he saw her gliding under the moon, he couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

”Ahem!”

Ling Feng cleared his throat, snapping back to reality, remembering that beauty was merely a skeletal frame to him.

”Fairy Yue!”

Ling Feng greeted the girl from a distance with a polite bow, smiling warmly, ”It’s been a while!”

Yue Huaqin’s figure landed before Ling Feng, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing him as if attempting to fully understand this man.

Ling Feng touched his nose, grinning awkwardly, ”Fairy Yue, is there a flower on my face?”

”Hmm!” Yue Huaqin glared at Ling Feng, ”You are truly ruthless! Do you have any idea that after Junior Brother Lio awoke, he first contemplated suicide and then vowed to kill you? You might have gone too far this time!”

”Isn’t Lio Donglin overdoing things as well?”

Ling Feng shrugged with indifference, ”When he’s dominant, he steps over people from East Spirit Immortal Pond; I’m just returning the favor.”

”I can’t argue with you.”

Yue Huaqin cast a reproachful glance at Ling Feng. In fact, she wasn’t fond of Lio Donglin’s conduct either, and it’s good that Ling Feng gave him a lesson.

However, making him eat horse manure—now that was truly something only this guy could come up with!

”Hehe...”

Ling Feng chuckled awkwardly, pointing at the moon in the sky, smiling, ”Well, the moonlight is nice; if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first!”

”Hmph!” Yue Huaqin glared at Ling Feng, ”Hey, don’t you plan to return what I entrusted you with last time?”

Evidently, Yue Huaqin still naively believed that Ling Feng was unaware that the treasure she had given him was the Yellow Emperor’s Seal.

”What thing?”

Ling Feng blinked his bright eyes, feigning innocence, ”Fairy Yue, are you referring to those spiritual treasures? They’re great treasures, really great, and I’m extremely grateful!”

”Stop pretending to be dumb!”

Yue Huaqin huffed softly, ”Besides that whole set of spiritual treasures, there’s a yellow jade seal as well, right? That thing is something my grandfather left for me; it’s very important to me, so please return it to me!”

”Hmm!”

Ling Feng sneered internally, this woman could lie without blushing.

Claiming it was her grandfather’s gift, when in fact, she had stolen it from the Demon Clan Sacred Land!

However, Ling Feng didn’t expose Yue Huaqin; he simply smacked his forehead and laughed heartily, ”Ah, Fairy Yue is talking about that item! Alas...”

Ling Feng sighed softly, feigning a look of distress, ”Apologies, Fairy Yue, I’m afraid I can’t take that item out!”

”Hmm?”

Yue Huaqin furrowed her Fong Mu, glaring at Ling Feng, ”Ling Feng, do not push it too far! I have already given you so many rewards, yet you’re still trying to pocket my heirloom treasure!”

”Heaven’s truth!”

Ling Feng quickly replied, ”Fairy Yue, though I may not be a gentleman, I still have basic integrity and would never pocket your treasure! The situation at the time... you have no idea!”

Ling Feng then heaved a long sigh, showing a pained expression, and spoke in a deep voice, ”That day, upon returning to Demon Clan Sacred Land with the items you gave me, the thing I most dreaded in life occurred.”

Immediately, Ling Feng recounted how at Demon Clan Sacred Land, he was besieged by the nine great Demon Emperors, and it was only Mu Qianxue revealing her identity as part of the Divine Race that saved him.

Furthermore, he was severely injured, hovering between life and death, and it was Mu Qianxue who infused her Divine Blood into him, rescuing him from the brink.

Only, the reason was altered to the Demon Clan discovering the Yellow Emperor Seal on Ling Feng.

”Alas, how was I to know anything about the Yellow Emperor Seal! Just because of this, my once well-concealed identity was exposed, and even the woman I loved dearly was forced to be separated from me by the ends of the earth! I... my heart aches! Alas...”

Speaking with emotion, Ling Feng’s eyes even brimmed with tears.

The whole story contained both truth and lies, but regarding Mu Qianxue, every word was genuine, heartfelt.

Listening to Ling Feng’s fabricated story, Yue Huaqin was deeply moved, tearing up, ”I... I’m sorry! I didn’t expect that I... I would cause you such suffering... wah... boo hoo, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

”Ah?”

Ling Feng glanced at Yue Huaqin from the corner of his eye, incredulous that she actually believed him!

He really was a genius!
