Bang! The world suddenly trembled.
Above the Heavenly Abyss, the battle of the four supreme beings actually split this chaos.
“Not good…”
Everyone was shocked as the crack in the void suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Everyone was shocked. In that instant, the world turned. A wave of Monarch’s aura came from above, and everyone was shocked. That astonishing power was something that even a Paragon could not withstand.
“Pfft…”
In an instant, an early-stage Paragon realm expert was slapped into a bloody mist. He had no way of fighting back. In an instant, it took the life of a Paragon realm expert and his soul was scattered.
For a moment, the scene was in chaos.
“Everyone, quickly leave this place.” Yun Shengzi shouted loudly and took out his Dharma artifact to escape.
The others did the same and fled in panic.
On this side, a monarch aura descended from the sky and locked onto Lian Feng. When Lian Feng saw this scene, her face turned pale. Suddenly, a large hand pulled her into its embrace. Her vision turned black as she was hugged tightly by a warm embrace.
When she opened her eyes again, she raised her head slightly and saw Ye Qiu looking down at her gently. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here. I won’t let you get hurt.”
It was as if the ice and snow in her heart had melted. Lian Feng’s face turned slightly red as she grabbed Ye Qiu’s clothes helplessly. Looking up at the world in front of her, she discovered that they were in a sea of stars, as if they were roaming the Nine Heavens.
“What is this place?” Lian Feng asked coldly. It wasn’t that she was deliberately giving him the cold shoulder, but she was born like this. She was already used to it after so many years, and it was difficult to change her tone.
Ye Qiu smiled and explained, “This is the world within the Qiankun Cauldron.”
“What!”
Lian Feng was shocked. There was actually such a space in Ye Qiu’s Qiankun Cauldron?
Just now, when the Martial Monarch aura approached, she thought that she would die on the spot. She didn’t expect that Ye Qiu would pull her into the world in the cauldron at the critical moment and escape. Apart from being touched, she was also shocked in her heart. Ye Qiu’s Qiankun Cauldron could actually dodge the attack of a Martial Monarch expert.
That was the last breath of a Martial Monarch.
Even though he had been dead for many years, his power was not something that a Paragon could withstand. Just look at those few people who were killed in an instant because they couldn’t dodge in time.
Lian Feng’s heart was very complicated as she obediently leaned into Ye Qiu’s arms. This warm embrace and firm chest gave people an inexplicable sense of security. For a moment, she did not want to leave.
After hesitating for a while, Lian Feng pushed Ye Qiu away and looked at the world in the cauldron. “As expected of a Connate numinous treasure. It’s indeed profound. It can even dodge the aura of a Martial Monarch…”
At this point, Lian Feng felt a wave of envy. With this comparison, she suddenly felt that she didn’t like her Four Symbols Cauldron so much anymore.
Why not throw it away?
Just like the spiritual sword from before, she threw it away as soon as her powerful desire to win rose.
After taking a deep look at Ye Qiu, Lian Feng lowered her head and thought: No, I can’t compare myself to this guy. I’ll die of anger easily. The immortal sword, the Storm Pear Blossom Needles, and now the Qiankun Cauldron. How many treasures did he have? Fortunately, he was my man in name now. He was no threat to me.
Thinking of this, Lian Feng was delighted. The more outstanding Ye Qiu was, the happier she was. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be her future Dao companion. Who would dislike their man being outstanding enough?
Everyone admired experts, and Lian Feng was no exception, especially since this expert was her Dao companion in name.
After a moment of chaos, the monarch’s aura gradually dissipated. Ye Qiu was constantly paying attention to the situation outside.
Seeing that the time was right, he said, “Alright, let’s go out.”
“Okay…” Lian Feng did not resist. The two of them instantly disappeared from the world in the cauldron. When they appeared again, they were already in a wasteland.
On the horizon, the four great ferocious beasts were injured by the Monarch’s aura just now. They lay on the ground to regulate their breathing and recover from their injuries.
The commotion just now also attracted more and more people. Soon, this wasteland was filled with people.
Almost all the Paragon experts of the various domains were here.
Ye Qiu was shocked. He didn’t expect there to be so many Paragon realm experts in the outer realm. Could it be that there was a reason why they all said that the Eastern Wasteland was poor and remote?
The atmosphere was a little oppressive at this moment. Everyone was staring at the copper coffin on the old turtle’s back.
The commotion just now was caused by the opening of the copper coffin.
“Longevity pill!”
As that pure and vitality-filled aura drifted over, everyone’s eyes revealed greed. The true treasure had finally appeared since the Monarch’s Tomb opened. Even Lian Feng could not resist this temptation. Her eyes were filled with joy.
“It’s really a Longevity pill…” As she muttered to herself, Lian Feng’s fighting spirit erupted.
She had to snatch this Longevity pill. Once she obtained it and ate it, not only would she be able to live forever, but she would also be able to increase her cultivation. Now, she had already reached the mid-stage of the Paragon realm. If she could eat the Longevity pill, she might be able to become a King-Ranked in one go and form seals…
“Haha, the Longevity pill has finally appeared!” A rough sound came from the horizon. A fat middle-aged man holding a large saber flew over.
This person was filled with killing intent and was very powerful, causing everyone present to feel the pressure multiply.
“Isn’t this the Butcher of the Extreme Domain’s Slaughter City?”
“He actually came too…”
Everyone was shocked and discussed. Even Ye Qiu cast a surprised gaze. He could feel the shocking murderous aura from the butcher. It was obvious that he was a ruthless person whose hands were covered in blood.
“Roar…” Suddenly, the Suanni lying on the ground released a shocking bolt of lightning, forcing back all the cultivators who wanted to snatch the Longevity pill.
Everyone was shocked. They did not expect it to recover so quickly. The moment it discovered the Longevity pill, it charged towards the huge turtle crazily.
On the other side, the Zhuyan also attacked. In an instant, it smashed its staff towards the Suanni. The two sides fought again.
When the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow saw this scene, it raised its head and let out a long cry. It suddenly spread its wings and looked greedily at the Longevity pill.
Suddenly, it opened its mouth and sucked in fiercely, as if it wanted to absorb all the Chaotic Qi in the surroundings into its stomach.
The battle began again. No one dared to act rashly. Instead, they waited for an opportunity. At this moment, no matter who attacked, they would be surrounded by others. Therefore, they were all waiting for an opportunity.
The aura of the Longevity pill continued to spread, attracting more and more people.
The void trembled and a handsome man in a purple Daoist robe appeared in the sky.
“The Deity of Mount Yao, Hua Feiyu…”
“Late-stage Paragon realm…”
The moment this person appeared, the atmosphere instantly froze. Even the butcher revealed a look of surprise.
Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but praise as he looked at the stunning figure above. This person was very strong…
“Hua Feiyu, why is he here too…” Lian Feng muttered to herself. A complicated look flashed across her eyes. She looked at Ye Qiu beside her and suddenly had a sly look, as if she was planning something.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu’s heart trembled. He had an ominous feeling.
Could she be plotting something in her heart to trick me? Ye Qiu couldn’t help but suspect that he still couldn’t figure out his temporary girlfriend’s personality.
Soon, Ye Qiu understood what Lian Feng was thinking.
After Hua Feiyu appeared, his figure flashed. When he appeared again, he was already in front of Lian Feng.
“Lian’er, so you’re really here. I’ve been looking for you…” Hua Feiyu said with a look of infatuation. His eyes were filled with joy and concern.
What a devoted bootlicker. Ye Qiu felt a chill. Could this be the legendary… love rival?
Lian Feng suddenly turned cold and said, “Hua Feiyu, we’re not familiar with each other. Please don’t call me that.”
Faced with Lian Feng’s disdain, Hua Feiyu was not angry at all. Instead, he said patiently, “Lian’er, I know you hate me. You hate what I did before. But I can promise you that I will seriously correct it in the future and never do it again. I also know that you only pursue the Immortal Dao and have no interest in love affairs. But it’s fine. I can wait. No matter if it’s a hundred years or a thousand years, I can wait…”
“Hiss…” Ye Qiu sucked in a breath of cold air. Could this be the legendary ultimate bootlicker? Damn, he had finally learned something.
However, Hua Feiyu looked quite handsome and talented. He was quite outstanding. So why was Lian Feng so resistant?
Thinking about it, this person must have done something previously to give Lian Feng a bad first impression.
Therefore, nothing he did after that could change Lianfeng’s opinion of him.
So, first impressions were really important. If the first impression was bad, no matter what you did after that, it would feel like you were pretending.
Lian Feng was unmoved and said coldly, “No need, Hua Feiyu. I don’t want to be too ruthless. What you do has nothing to do with me. There’s no need to specially show it to me. It’s a waste of time.”
When Hua Feiyu heard this, he was very unhappy. However, this was not the first time Lian Feng had said such things. He was already used to it. After calming down and suppressing the anger in his heart, Hua Feiyu didn’t care. He firmly believed that as long as he was willing to work hard, he would one day melt this iceberg. As the Deity of Mount Yao, he was extremely confident in his strength. He did not believe that Lian Feng could really reject such an outstanding person like him.
His gaze suddenly shifted to Ye Qiu, who was standing beside Lian Feng with a smile. The two of them looked intimate. Hua Feiyu frowned. He instantly turned cold. “Who are you?”
“Me?” Ye Qiu smiled and continued, “Heaven Mending Sect, Ye Qiu, Ultimate Boot… Uh, no, Young Master Hua, nice to meet you…” He almost made a mistake.
“Ye Qiu?” Hua Feiyu was stunned for a moment. He recalled in his mind and confirmed that he didn’t know this person. When he heard that he was also from the Heaven Mending Sect, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, the reason why they were so close was also because they were from the same sect, right?
That had to be it.
“So it’s a fellow Daoist from the Heaven Mending Sect. Nice to meet you…” Hua Feiyu squeezed out a smile. Suddenly, Lian Feng said, “He’s my man…”
The smile stopped. Hua Feiyu’s killing intent soared.
“What did you say?” As if struck by lightning, Hua Feiyu was completely furious. He couldn’t believe it. This was impossible. How could she have a Dao companion? Moreover… even if there was, it was impossible for him to be an ordinary and unknown person.
He comforted himself that Lian Feng must have said that on purpose to anger him and make him give up.
Yes, that must be it.
He did not believe that Lian Feng would reject such an outstanding person like him and choose an unknown and ordinary man.
“I’ll say it again. He’s my man. Is that clear?” A trace of playfulness flashed across Lian Feng’s eyes. She turned around and looked at Ye Qiu. Suddenly, she hugged his arm intimately and said coldly to Hua Feiyu, “Hua Feiyu, I told you long ago that it’s impossible between us. Don’t talk to me anymore, and don’t call me by my nickname. I’m afraid my Qiuqiu will misunderstand…”
Ye Qiu’s heart trembled. He finally understood what that ominous feeling was. Damn, I was careless. This damn girl is pushing me into a fire pit. Isn’t she afraid that Hua Feiyu will kill me? She even stabbed me. This two-faced personality was hidden even deeper than mine. I fell for it.
How could Hua Feiyu let him off if she pushed him out at this time?
At this moment, Hua Feiyu’s face had completely darkened. His gaze towards Ye Qiu was filled with killing intent. He didn’t know how he was inferior to Ye Qiu that Lian Feng actually chose him and rejected him.
“No…” His heart roared helplessly, and his mood fell to rock bottom. From love to hatred, Hua Feiyu’s bootlicking mentality instantly disappeared without a trace.
“Haha… Ridiculous, ridiculous… I was infatuated, but I didn’t expect this outcome. Good, very good…” Hua Feiyu laughed at himself as if he had gone crazy.
Ye Qiu’s heart ached when he saw this expression. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. “Since ancient times, bootlickers have always been lonely. The woman you can’t get in your entire life was coaxed by another man with just a few words. I can only say that fate is like this… I’m lucky to have her, and it’s also my fate if I lose her. Brother, my heart aches for you, but I’ll take her away first.”
Suddenly, he felt so good.
In his previous life, he had been a bootlicker for his entire life. Now that his role had been changed, Ye Qiu finally understood how happy those successful people were. Of course, apart from feeling happy, Ye Qiu was also a little surprised. Even an outstanding genius like Hua Feiyu couldn’t catch Lian Feng’s eye.
Why did she confirm their temporary Dao companion relationship with him with just a few words?
Could it be that I’m too outstanding? Yes, very likely…
No matter what, I am a person with max-level looks. There was naturally no need to mention my talent and strength. I have a gentle persona, and I am considerate and generous.
With so many merits in one body, I’m about to fall in love with myself.
However, in reality, this matter wasn’t that complicated, nor was it as complicated as Ye Qiu thought. Perhaps even Lian Feng herself didn’t know why she chose Ye Qiu.
In any case, every time she looked at Ye Qiu, she felt like she had been electrocuted and her heart went numb. She simply felt that she might have fallen for this person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have felt this way. There were not many complicated thoughts. Liking meant liking, and not liking meant not liking.
She didn’t know what love was. She only knew one thing. If she really liked someone, as long as she saw them for the first time, she would feel tempted. That was love.
Yes, it was that simple.
“Let’s go.” Ye Qiu said lightly. He held Lian Feng’s arm and left Hua Feiyu. He was mainly afraid that he would suddenly go crazy and fight Ye Qiu to the death.
Although Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid of him, it was better to conserve his strength now that the Longevity pill had appeared and the battle could erupt at any time.
Lian Feng looked puzzled. She looked up at Ye Qiu and said, “Aren’t you worried about his revenge?”
Ye Qiu asked, “Since you knew that he would take revenge, why did you push me out?”
Lian Feng smiled and said, “Isn’t this how Dao companions are used? It is your duty to sweep away all suitors and swear sovereignty. You’re not afraid, are you?”
Ye Qiu was speechless…
Who taught her this? Come out and I’ll slash you. Was this how Dao companions were used?
“Yes, it seems like I have the obligation to take the time to tutor her and explain the specific uses of Dao companions. The more details, the better.” Ye Qiu smiled evilly. On second thought, this was good too. She could avoid Hua Feiyu pestering her in the future.
However, he did not expect that the cold Lian Feng actually had such a scheming heart. She was even more scheming than him. At most, Ye Qiu would schemed against his senior brother, Qi Wuhui. She was even more ruthless… She actually schemed against her own man.
Could this be the legendary match made in heaven?
“I believe you can definitely defeat him and successfully get the beauty.” Lian Feng said seriously.
“You’re quite confident in me.” Ye Qiu smiled and couldn’t help but think to himself: Wouldn’t the appearance of this love rival give me another chance to perform? Wouldn’t that be wonderful if he took this opportunity to perform well and immediately become official?
Yes, he could give it a try.
It was mainly because the 100,000 fold return after becoming an official was too tempting…
It had given too much.
Lian Feng tilted her head and thought seriously for a moment. “In terms of cultivation, you might not be able to defeat him. In terms of combat strength, I don’t think he can defeat you.”
After all, Ye Qiu had a big treasure. Just that immortal sword alone was enough to crush Hua Feiyu. There was no need to worry. She had thought of this from the beginning. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pushed Ye Qiu out.
The purpose of doing this was to see how much he cared about her.
It was sort of a test.
If Ye Qiu really cared about her and didn’t hesitate to become enemies with Hua Feiyu for her, then it proved that he was sincere to her. As long as this was confirmed, they could officially confirm their relationship.
Ye Qiu smiled. He really didn’t care about Hua Feiyu’s revenge, but he couldn’t figure out what Lian Feng was thinking. Now, he could tell that Lian Feng was testing him.
Well, sure… I will definitely satisfy you, and you will be extremely touched, the kind that can’t wait to offer yourself to me. Ye Qiu’s heart was probably already a little agitated. The goddess’s strategy was intensified.
Defeat the bootlicker and declare sovereignty.
On the other side, Hua Feiyu mocked himself for a long time before finally recovering. He looked coldly at Ye Qiu and said coldly, “I want to see what’s so special about you later.”
In his eyes, Ye Qiu was just an unknown and ordinary Paragon cultivator.
At his age, he was at most an early-stage Paragon. Compared to him, he wasn’t even qualified to carry his shoes. If a chaotic battle broke out later, with Ye Qiu’s strength, he would definitely be the first to die in the chaos. At that time, wouldn’t he have another chance?
Of course, he would not foolishly attack because this would only make Lian Feng hate him even more.
