"Chu Feng, you really have brought me one surprise after another." At that moment, Baili Xuankong gazed at Chu Feng with a beaming smile.
Seeing how excited the Yaojiao Royal Beasts were, he understood that they truly regarded Chu Feng as their great benefactor. From now on, among these Yaojiao Royal Beasts, there probably wouldn't be a single demon beast who dared to cause trouble for Chu Feng.
Not only that, but while the four great Emperor Clans were sparing no effort to kill Chu Feng, the Yaojiao Royal Beasts — such a powerful force — were willing to protect him. This was absolutely a cause for great celebration.
Afterward, the Yaojiao Royal Beasts held a grand banquet in the largest plaza within their territory. On one hand, they publicly announced the joyous news that Yaojiao Tingyu had received the Dragon King's inheritance, and the entire clan celebrated. On the other hand, they used the full might of the clan to express their gratitude to Chu Feng, ensuring that every Yaojiao Royal Beast would remember the appearance of the royal clan's great benefactor.
This grand banquet lasted a full three days and three nights, and it still showed no signs of stopping. After making some inquiries, Chu Feng learned that they intended to celebrate for a full ten days and ten nights before calling it quits.
Although the Yaojiao Royal Beasts wanted Chu Feng to stay with them indefinitely, Chu Feng did not wish to remain there.
First and foremost, Chu Feng did not want to bring trouble upon the Yaojiao Royal Beasts. After all, there was no such thing as a wall without cracks in this world.
Among the Yaojiao Royal Beasts, there had been scum like Yaojiao Ba and Yaojiao Xueran, which meant there were certainly others like them as well.
While the majority of the Yaojiao Royal Beasts genuinely treated Chu Feng as their benefactor and were deeply grateful, Chu Feng felt that there was bound to be a faction of militant Yaojiao Royal Beasts who viewed him as an enemy.
After all, Yaojiao Ba had been part of the clan for so long that he was certain to have die-hard loyalists. If those loyalists leaked the news of Chu Feng's presence among the Yaojiao Royal Beasts, and the four great Emperor Clans came bearing the full might of all four clans, then even the Yaojiao Royal Beasts might not be able to hold them off.
At that point, not only would Chu Feng himself be in trouble, but he would also bring disaster upon the entire Yaojiao Royal clan. The cost would far outweigh the benefit, and it was a responsibility he simply could not bear.
And so, Chu Feng sought out Yaojiao Guang and Yaojiao Tingyu, because he had something to discuss with them.
…………
At that moment, Chu Feng, Hong Qiang, Baili Xuankong, Yaojiao Tingyu, and Yaojiao Guang gathered in a quiet side hall.
"Oh, Tingyu — ninth-grade Half-Emperor. The Beast Emperor's power really is formidable." Looking at Yaojiao Tingyu, whose cultivation had reached the ninth-grade Half-Emperor realm, even Chu Feng felt quite envious.
"The Dragon King's power truly is extraordinary. I don't mean to be conceited, but with this strength bolstering me, I'm confident that within one year, I can step into the Martial Emperor realm." Yaojiao Tingyu spoke with great delight.
And who could blame her for being excited? Just three days ago, she had been a fifth-grade Half-Emperor. Now she was a ninth-grade Half-Emperor, and her aura was still growing. How could she not be overjoyed? Forget about her — anyone in her position would have been ecstatic.
"You're being too modest, Tingyu. You won't need a full year. At most three months, and at the very least half a month, and you'll become a first-grade Martial Emperor," Chu Feng said.
"Really? That fast?" Upon hearing this, Yaojiao Tingyu's face lit up with elation, and she stood up in her excitement. After everything that had transpired, her faith in Chu Feng was absolute — nearly anything he said, she believed.
"I wouldn't lie to you. After all, I am a Dragon Mark level Spirit World Master," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Dragon Mark level Spirit World Master? Young friend Chu Feng, are you saying you've already become a Dragon Mark level Spirit World Master?" Upon hearing this, Yaojiao Guang was utterly shocked.
