Urban All-Round Master

”You can’t blame me, it was like this when I just got back, you just didn’t notice.” As Lin Zifeng spoke, Dongfang Ziyue’s face grew increasingly sullen, and he hurriedly changed his tone to explain: ”Sorry, I was too anxious when I was healing your master earlier, so I forgot...”

Before he could finish his sentence, Dongfang Ziyue, sitting opposite him, waved her hand to stop him, saying, ”Alright, let’s not bring up these trivial matters. I just want to know what exactly happened when you two entered that wasteland?”

After sipping a few mouthfuls of tea, Lin Zifeng slowly recounted the events to Dongfang Ziyue. After listening, Dongfang Ziyue’s face was grave, with a hint of lingering fear in her heart.

After a long silence, Lin Zifeng changed his usual lighthearted smile and said seriously, ”Miss Dongfang, I must thank you; if it weren’t for your timely arrival, my master and I would have already been captured by the Five Supreme Venerables.”

With a long sigh, Dongfang Ziyue slightly parted her red lips, expressing sincere gratitude: ”I should be thanking you. If it weren’t for you, my master, with such severe injuries, even if he woke up, his entire cultivation would be wasted.”

With a light chuckle, Lin Zifeng said no more, picked up the teacup intending to make an excuse, but was suddenly gripped by a heart-wrenching pain in his chest.

”Ah...”

With a cry of pain, Lin Zifeng abruptly curled up, his body trembling from the inexplicable pain emanating from his chest. Dongfang Ziyue, witnessing the sudden change, stood up intending to check on him, but Lin Zifeng raised a trembling hand to stop her.

Despite the pain, Lin Zifeng’s heart remained extraordinarily calm; he clearly sensed that this pain was emanating from the Magic Bracelet fused with him!

This pain wasn’t from wounds by blades or swords, nor like the Heavenly Thunder, but a kind of soul-rending agony, as if trying to tear his soul apart!

”Bang!”

His sharply defined features twisted together from the pain, and the teacup in his hand was thrown aside by Lin Zifeng. Now, feeling the agony within, he actually had a suicidal urge!

Living was worse than dying, perhaps this was Lin Zifeng’s current feeling.

”Lin Zifeng, what’s wrong! Don’t scare me!”

Before Lin Zifeng closed his eyes, the last scene before his eyes was Dongfang Ziyue’s anxious and concerned face...

”Am I...dead? Could this be the Nine Nether Hell?”

Gazing into the endless darkness surrounding him, Lin Zifeng softly murmured, his voice forming echoes in the silent darkness.

”What’s going on, why am I here?”

As he pondered, Lin Zifeng suddenly clutched his head, countless memories flooding in, making him feel as if his head was about to explode!

”Ah...”

With a scream, Lin Zifeng’s bloodshot eyes stared into the endless darkness, only to be pierced painfully by a sudden ray of light.

”Buzz...”

Amid the intense light, Lin Zifeng shut his eyes tightly, but a deep yet strangely vibrant sound reverberated in his ears.

The sound lingered for a long time before disappearing. Lin Zifeng had just reacted when a voice, sweet like a yellow warbler emerging from a valley, echoed near his ears: ”So, are you satisfied with this scene?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng suddenly opened his eyes to a sight filled with vibrant green.

A lush meadow, a blue sky, and a gentle sun; at this moment, Lin Zifeng was standing in what seemed like a sea of green.

Glancing around, Lin Zifeng’s gaze suddenly froze as he looked at the woman before him, stammering, ”You are...”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a trace of feigned anger appear on the woman’s breathtakingly beautiful face, her red lips pouting with mock annoyance, saying, ”You don’t even recognize this girl, and I just saved your life, you’re truly a thankless wolf.”

Thankless wolf...

The woman’s charming voice, coupled with her playful coquettishness, caused even the steady-minded Lin Zifeng’s heart to flutter.

The woman noticed Lin Zifeng’s gaze fixed on her, and a trace of displeasure crossed her face, quickly turning away and saying, ”Hey, why are you staring at me like that?”

After a few light coughs, Lin Zifeng smiled sheepishly as he scratched his head, intending to apologize but suddenly realizing that he didn’t know the girl before him!

Moreover, though this prairie was beautiful, it wasn’t where he had been moments ago. Lin Zifeng only remembered preparing to drink tea, but was interrupted by sudden pain, then fainted.

Upon opening his eyes again, he found himself here in this prairie...

Full of questions, Lin Zifeng was just about to speak when the woman turned around again, smiling as she said, ”Alright, I know you have many questions, but no need to ask, I can see through your thoughts with just one look.”

Patting the undulating peaks with her jade hand, the woman’s tone carried a hint of pride as she said to Lin Zifeng, ”First, I’ll explain my identity to you, listen carefully!”

After listening, Lin Zifeng’s face was filled with black lines; not knowing the girl before him, she was about to explain herself.

”Ahem... This girl is the Artifact Spirit of the leader among the three Beast Emperors of the Demon Beast Forest—Lord Mu En, you may call me Mu Ruoyun; this is the name Lord Mu En gave me.”

After speaking, the girl noticed Lin Zifeng standing there with a face full of black lines, and patted his shoulder with smug satisfaction: ”How about it, are you shocked by my master’s name? It’s okay, most people react like you when hearing this kind of news.”

”Never heard of it...”

Lin Zifeng’s words, like a bucket of cold water, poured over Mu Ruoyun’s head, freezing the smile on her pretty little face.

This guy... is so arrogant, having never even heard of her master’s name!

At this moment, Lin Zifeng suddenly gathered his thoughts, looking at Mu Ruoyun with eyes full of astonishment.

She just said... her master is one of the three Beast Emperors of the Demon Beast Forest!

Though Lin Zifeng hadn’t heard of Mu En’s name, he was well aware of the notorious reputation of the Demon Beast Forest.

He knew that in the Demon Beast Forest, Spiritual Beasts with slightly higher grades could transform into human form. The long history of the Third Parallel Universe surely formed a system unknown to him!

An Beast Emperor... though he hadn’t seen one, just hearing the name made it clear they’re far from weak. Coupled with these changes, Lin Zifeng was momentarily unable to accept it.

After taking several deep breaths to suppress the questions and shock within, Lin Zifeng noticed Mu Ruoyun, who claimed to be the girl in front of him, pouting in anger; an amused expression crossed his face, and he chuckled softly: ”Mu Ruoyun, is that right? Since you say you can see through my heart, then answer the questions I currently have.”

After speaking, Lin Zifeng silently murmured to himself, ”Who are you really, and why do you say you just saved my life?”

Upon his silent entreaty, a hint of blush suddenly appeared on Mu Ruoyun’s face, her words tinged with a seductive charm that could cause the blood of countless men to race: ”I’ve... always been inside your body, you know?”
