"I'm asking who gave it to you?"
Yun Yaoyao asked persistently, digging for answers.
"Um..."
"It seems like it was given by a female friend, who appears to be a cultivator."
Yi Feng pondered hard, then hesitantly responded, unsure if the umbrella was indeed a gift from Bai Piaopiao.
"A female friend?"
Yun Yaoyao felt a pang of jealousy.
Does this annoying guy have good relationships with women?
Otherwise, why would a priceless treasure like this holy-grade umbrella be given to an ordinary mortal like him?
Seeing Yun Yaoyao's probing expression, Yi Feng couldn't help but grin and ask, "What's wrong? Do you also think this umbrella is nice and pretty?"
"Nice and pretty my foot! I want you to throw it away right now."
Yun Yaoyao's face burned with anger, as if she wanted to pounce on Yi Feng and beat him up.
"Why?"
"What am I supposed to use for fishing if you throw it away? Should I go fishing like an idiot?"
Yi Feng furrowed his brow and asked.
"I can give you another umbrella, but you must get rid of this one."
Yun Yaoyao's voice resounded with undeniable determination, and she then activated her storage ring, producing a large red umbrella.
If there were others present, they would recognize that this red umbrella was just as extraordinary as the previous black one, or even at the level of a pseudo-immortal-grade treasure.
"Red?"
Yi Feng's face turned dark, but seeing Yun Yaoyao's unwavering expression, he reluctantly accepted it.
If it's red, then so be it.
After all, he was just going fishing, so whatever.
But women can be so damn troublesome.
And for no apparent reason.
Seeing Yi Feng compromise, Yun Yaoyao revealed a victorious smile. She cocked her slender waist and casually took a bite of the cucumber in her hand.
The cucumber was crisp and delicious.
The taste was really good.
"Hey, why are you biting it so little? What's with the restraint? It's not like I haven't seen you devour beef jerky before," Yi Feng couldn't help but tease when he saw this.
Yun Yaoyao exploded.
"Yi Feng, do you believe that I can kick you into the lake with one foot?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Yi Feng quickly begged for mercy with a smile and then spoke seriously, "Let's stop fooling around. How about you stay here a few more days, and I'll show you around, let you experience the local customs of Pingjiang City."
However, Yun Yaoyao's face dimmed when he mentioned that.
"I'm afraid I have to leave soon."
Her voice became low.
Too many things had happened during this period.
She had learned many secrets of the Immortal River Continent and discovered her own identity as a reincarnator.
In the past, she would have readily agreed to Yi Feng's proposal and seen the so-called local customs of Pingjiang City.
But now.
She was no longer in control.
"What's wrong with you?"
Sensing Yun Yaoyao's change in mood, Yi Feng asked softly.
"It's nothing."
She hesitated to speak.
After all, such matters were beyond the reach of the current Martial Emperor. What's the point of telling Yi Feng? It would only burden him unnecessarily.
"This time, I came to give you money. Here, five million gold coins. It's all I have."
She took out a storage ring and handed it to Yi Feng.
The ring opened, and it was filled with gold coins.
Yi Feng's eyes lit up as he received it with both hands, happily cradling it in his arms.
"Additionally, I have brought you a pill. After taking this pill, it should be able to directly propel you from the realm of mortals to the realm of martial spirits," Yun Yaoyao said.
After speaking, Yun Yaoyao took out a jade box and handed it to Yi Feng.
"What is this?"
"You brought me a pill that can help me break through to the realm of martial spirits?"
"You truly are my good friend!"
Yi Feng was overjoyed.
He eagerly took the jade box, his heart filled with excitement.
Martial spirits.
This was the legendary realm of martial spirits!
That awe-inspiring presence he caught a glimpse of in Nansha that day, he still vividly remembered it.
And now...
Was he going to become such a formidable expert himself?
Beside him, Yun Yaoyao looked at Yi Feng's joyful expression, unable to describe the emotions in her heart.
After today, the two of them might never meet again.
That's why she had paid a great price to obtain a pill that could promote a mortal to the realm of martial spirits without any side effects.
After all, in the future turbulent situation, the chances of survival for a martial spirit would always be higher than that of a mortal, right?
But she hesitated for a long time, ultimately deciding not to mention that this was their last meeting.
She felt it was unnecessary.
And she didn't want to burden Yi Feng with unnecessary worries.
As long as he was happy, as long as he could survive in the future, that would be enough.
Furthermore...
People always experience joys and sorrows, partings and reunions.
Even if we take a step back, the two of them were just friends, right...
"So what should I do now?"
Yi Feng couldn't wait and asked, "Should I take it now or later?"
"Take it now!"
Yun Yaoyao said softly, "Although this pill doesn't have many side effects, its internal energy is immense. You may not be able to withstand it. I will be here to protect you and deal with any unexpected situations."
"Okay, thank you."
Following Yun Yaoyao's instructions, Yi Feng sat cross-legged, holding the crystal-clear pill in his hand, ready to consume it.
"Let me remind you again, this pill contains immense energy. After swallowing it, your body will experience some pain. So, are you ready?" Yun Yaoyao solemnly reminded him once more.
"Yes, I'm ready."
Yi Feng gritted his teeth and nodded earnestly.
In order to become a formidable martial spirit, he had to endure the pain, no matter what.
"Take it!"
Yun Yaoyao said.
"Okay!"
Yi Feng clenched his teeth, carefully placed the pill into his mouth, and swallowed it.
At that moment...
Yi Feng tightly clenched his jaw, waiting for the impact and baptism of the energy.
Yun Yaoyao also became more serious, her profound cultivation emanating from her body. While remaining vigilant to prevent anyone from disturbing Yi Feng, her gaze was constantly focused on Yi Feng's condition.
After three quarters of an hour...
Seeing Yi Feng's expressionless face, showing no signs of being unable to bear it, Yun Yaoyao nodded in satisfaction.
This guy...
His perseverance was truly firm.
To endure such intense pain without uttering a single word.
However, Yi Feng suddenly raised his head and asked coldly, "Does this elixir take so long to take effect? My legs are already sore, yet there's no slightest reaction?"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
