Why are you looking at me with such eyes!?
Feng Qing Er sat with her arms crossed in front of her chest, one leg crossed over her knee. Her long skirt swayed slightly, revealing the white stockings on her legs.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you boasting so much?" Zi Yan said with a dissatisfied expression.
Feng Qing Er: ?
Before we met, you told me in the group that the hostility between the Ancient Dragon and the Heaven Phoenix is a problem between the two races and won't affect the sister-like relationship among everyone in the Journal.
Now that we've met, you're so hostile, aggressive, and full of hostility in your way of speaking.
Is this intentional bullying?!
Just because you're the only daughter of the Ancient Void Dragon Emperor, don't think I won't get angry with you.
As the daughter of a powerful Heaven Demon Phoenix Dou Saint, I... really can't.
"When did I boast?" Feng Qing Er felt dissatisfied and unconsciously hugged her arms tightly.
This made her arrogance even more prominent, and Zi Yan almost gritted her teeth.
"We Ancient Void Dragons are completely incompatible with you Heaven Phoenixes."
The women present: "..."
"Zi Yan, why do you care about such things?" Xun Er understood Zi Yan's concerns and gently comforted her. "The reason you're like this now is because you accidentally drank the Transformation Grass when you were young. In the future, when you awaken as a Dou Emperor or Dou Ancestor, the situation will change."
"Really?" Zi Yan blinked her beautiful eyes lightly. "Do I grow like Sister Cai Lin? Or Qing Lin?"
"I'm still 14 years old!" Qing Lin's ears turned red as she lowered her voice to emphasize.
"That's the real problem," Zi Yan pouted. "You're only 14 years old but already so exaggerated. What will happen in the future?"
Qing Lin: "..."
Only then did Feng Qing Er understand what Zi Yan was angry about and was left speechless.
As expected, little girls like this kind of thing, completely unaware of how much it hinders combat.
"Uh~" Han Xue looked down at her own body.
I'm still 16 years old. In 5 years, I'll be almost 22 years old. There's still a possibility of growing, right?
The next moment, the women's expressions changed because a long post in Xiao Ting's Journal had been updated.
[Writing with the brain is much faster than writing with hands, but it's easy to get distracted by a little thought.]
[There are bad people everywhere, and the Black Corner Region is full of ungrateful people, bloodthirsty people, cannibals, and all kinds of bad people. It's not surprising to encounter any type of person there. Han Feng's ungrateful behavior didn't start now, but what's really surprising is his stupidity.]
[There used to be a Han family village in the Black Corner Region, now it's Han City. When Han Feng was still a baby, the village was destroyed by bandits, and he was the only survivor.]
[When Yao Lao passed by this place, he noticed that the man's surname "Han" was connected to Han Shanshan, who was his teacher, friend, and Dao Companion. So Yao Lao took the baby as his disciple and helped him avenge his blood feud by exterminating the bandits.]
[After that, meticulous guidance was given, and foundation-building spiritual Pills were developed for him. This spiritual medicine was used to nurture him from the age of 2, and by the age of 3, his fire and wood attributes had become particularly strong. Battle Qi meridians began to appear in his body, and Yao Chen personally guided those meridians, nourishing Han Feng's whole body and enhancing his potential and talent.]
[Originally talented Han Feng reached a perfect state thanks to Yao Chen's nurturing!]
Cao Ying: !!!
[Cao Ying]: If someone treats me so kindly, I could even call him "father".
Everyone: "..."
However, considering Cao Ying's innate soul talent, if she combines it with Yao Lao's foundation-building method, her alchemy talent will become even stronger and may reach the peak of the Battle Qi Continent.
[However, instigated by Elder Mu Gu, he chose to betray his master to obtain the "Flame Mantra".
After fiercely fighting with Yao Chen, Han Feng actually bit him... He is truly the ultimate ungrateful person. Everyone should kill him.]
[It's hard to believe that Yao Chen, a 8th-grade expert at the peak of Dou Venerate and the strongest below half-saint level, would be ambushed by a mere Dou Emperor. Moreover, even with the help of Elder Mu Gu, who is a lower-level Dou Venerate, it shows how much he trusted Han Feng.]
[If he knew the details of the "Flame Mantra" and that it could actually absorb various flames to become stronger and give him the opportunity to become an emperor, then from a humane and realistic point of view, it makes sense that he would desire the "Flame Mantra" and want to obtain it.]
[In the path of cultivation, every opportunity shines dazzlingly. When the chance to become an emperor unfolds before one's eyes, there are very few people who can resist it.]
[The problem is that Han Feng didn't know anything specific about the content of the "Flame Mantra". He had only heard that this technique had the possibility of evolving, and he wanted to see it for himself, preferably with Yao Lao's help. However, Yao Lao didn't teach him any specific training methods, so Han Feng felt that Yao Chen didn't value him at all and wasn't doing his best for him, and began to accumulate dissatisfaction.]
[He didn't want that either. At that time, Yao Lao was at the peak of Dou Venerate. With the power of a peak 8th-grade alchemist, he should have no lack of opportunities and could be promoted to half-saint or even saint at any time.]
[Under such circumstances, for the young master of Falling Star Pavilion, there was no need to train in a technique that couldn't be switched to other techniques once started.
[Yao Lao didn't know that the "Flame Mantra" was related to becoming an emperor, nor did he know whether swallowing the Heavenly Flame would succeed.]
[After all, Yao Lao was immensely powerful and wealthy, possessing countless resources. Even if Han Feng just lay around, he could be nurtured to the peak of 9-star Dou Venerate, with a much higher probability of reaching the 9-turn Saint Realm than ordinary practitioners. There was no need for him to bet on how powerful a training method with evolutionary characteristics was.]
[However, after Yao Chen weakened to a soul-only existence, and the prerequisite for his resurrection was three kinds of flames, and he had almost no resources left to use for my third brother, even though his relationship with Brother Yan was still in the mutual trial, vigilance, and cooperation stage, he proposed the "Flame Mantra" as just one of the options.]
[In the end, it was Brother Yan's own temperament that made him decide to take the gamble. He had just reached Dou Practitioner level, and the three-year "wasted" period and three-year contract weighed heavily on him. He had no choice but to gamble.]
[What's even more ridiculous is that after Han Feng learned half of the Flame Mantra, he continued training and remained at the peak of Dou Emperor for many years. He can occasionally refine 7th-grade Pills, but perhaps because the price he paid for betrayal was too great, he gambled to prove that his decision was correct.]
[In this world, bad people are not stupid, but when there are stupid people like Han Feng, it really makes one feel enlightened.]
Women: "..."
Don't say it, absolutely don't say it.
Hearing this, Han Feng is really incredibly stupid.
He doesn't want to inherit Falling Star Pavilion, instead of lying down and becoming at least a 9-star Dou Venerate or 8th-grade alchemist.
Why do something that invites death!
…
"My name is Han Feng. Friends in the Black Corner Region call me Pill King to save face." Han Feng greeted Xiao Ting with a gentle smile, cupping his hands. "It was wrong for the Gold and Silver Elders to take your Dao friend's belongings."
"They have already paid a great price. To save my face, could you please release them?"
Han Feng was very polite.
Moreover, since the two elders Gold and Silver were lightly and seriously injured respectively, their situation was really serious.
Normally, no one would refuse to give face to a 6th-grade alchemist.
After all, if you don't give him face, he might have to prove to you how useful his face is.
However, Xiao Ting know that he and Yao Chen had a master-disciple relationship, so of course he had no intention of giving him face.
"Han Feng, how much is your face worth? It might be exchangeable for your master, Yao Lao."
