"Thank you for your help, Benefactor. We are indeed from the Luo Family of Five Poison Mountain."
"My name is Luo Huan. I am the third young lady of the Luo Family. May I ask the Benefactor's name and which school you come from?"
"And how did the Benefactor come to know of our Luo Family?"
After hearing Du Wanwu's words, Luo Huan was quite surprised, yet she still asked respectfully.
Luo Huan's attitude toward Du Wanwu was extremely courteous, filled with gratitude. But that was only natural — after all, Du Wanwu had saved their lives.
What kindness in this world could possibly be greater than the grace of saving one's life?
"If you're from the Luo Family of Five Poison Mountain, there's no need to be so formal. My ancestor passed through Five Poison Mountain fifteen thousand years ago, and the Luo Family showed him a kindness."
"My ancestor left behind an ancestral decree: the Luo Family's affairs are the Poison Clan's affairs. That is why I stepped in today — it was simply my duty," Du Wanwu said.
Hearing this,
It turned out his help wasn't merely about aiding the weak against the strong — more importantly, he had seen the Luo Family's banner.
"May I ask, Benefactor, who was your ancestor?" Luo Huan, who clearly knew nothing of this matter, pressed further.
"The one who received help from your family was a nameless member of the Luo Clan. I imagine that person never told the family about it. Even if I told you my ancestor's name, you wouldn't know who he was."
"As for me — my name is Du Wanwu," he said.
At this, Chu Feng smiled to himself. He knew why Du Wanwu didn't mention the Poison Demon's name — it was because he bore the same name as his ancestor.
"So your name is Du Wanwu, Benefactor. That's a rather… unique name." Upon hearing the name, Luo Huan found it a bit peculiar, but showed no particular emotion beyond that.
This told Chu Feng that she likely had no idea who the Poison Demon was. And if she didn't know the Poison Demon, she naturally wouldn't know what had happened fifteen thousand years ago.
Chu Feng also figured that even if the Luo Family had truly shown the Poison Demon a kindness back then, it must have been a small one — otherwise, it wouldn't have come from a nameless, obscure member of the family.
After all, the Luo Family had a history spanning fifteen thousand years. But looking at their current state, they weren't particularly strong. Even fifteen thousand years ago, they probably weren't all that much more powerful.
And what kind of help could a nameless nobody offer the legendary Poison Demon, who had once shaken the world? It seemed the Poison Demon had lived by the principle of repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring.
"May I ask — do you know these people? Why did they attack you?" At that moment, Chu Feng stepped forward with Gou Dan'er.
Du Wanwu had already gone through the motions of reuniting with these people, and Chu Feng couldn't just stand off to the side watching anymore.
"This person… is he?" Upon seeing Chu Feng, a hint of reverence appeared in the eyes of Luo Huan and the others.
Regardless of anything else, Chu Feng was now a Second-rank Half Emperor. They were mere Martial Kings, and they could naturally sense his overwhelming strength.
"We're friends of Du Wanwu. My name is Feng Xing, and he's…" Chu Feng glanced at Gou Dan'er with a bit of hesitation. After all, he had gone through the trouble of making Gou Dan'er look so handsome now — keeping a name like "Gou Dan'er" really didn't match his new appearance. So he said to Gou Dan'er, "Forget it, introduce yourself."
"Heh heh, my name is Gou Dan'er!" But Gou Dan'er was perfectly straightforward, blurting out his name without a shred of hesitation.
"Gou Dan'er? Such a cute child — how did he end up with that name?"
Sure enough, Luo Huan couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. But when she looked at Gou Dan'er, her eyes still held a warmth that was impossible to hide.
Can you blame her? Never mind that Du Wanwu had saved their lives — just Gou Dan'er's current appearance alone was enough to win anyone over.
