"I'm going to kill you!"
Young Master
It was clear from her demeanor that she didn't merely want to kill Chu Feng — she wanted to tear him apart limb from limb.
"Hey, hey, hey — what are you doing? We agreed this was just a friendly spar. Nobody said anything about taking lives!"
"Oh, I know why you're so upset. It's just because I accidentally touched you, isn't it? But you can't really blame me for that — who told you to dress up as a man?"
"If I'd known you were a girl, I never would have touched you there. So this really isn't my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself."
"Look at you — perfectly fine little beauty. Why go around pretending to be a man? Could it be…"
As he dodged her attacks, Chu Feng grinned and teased Li Ming. At this point, his gaze took on an even more provocative edge as he continued: "Could it be that you have some unusual preferences? Don't tell me you're into women too?"
"I'll rip your mouth apart!!!"
Li Ming gnashed her teeth in fury, and from between those alluring red lips, it practically seemed like flames could spew out with every word she spoke.
She lunged at Chu Feng relentlessly — every strike aimed to kill. And that killing intent of hers was truly horrifying.
She wasn't joking. She genuinely meant to kill Chu Feng.
"Oh my, oh my — this is bad. Not only has Li Ming's identity as a woman been exposed by Chu Feng, but he even got a free feel out of it."
"With Li Ming's temperament, she'll probably stop at nothing to kill Chu Feng.
"This duel isn't over yet, and Li Ming's true cultivation has been sealed by me. The only power she can use is the strength granted by the Pillar of Profound Light."
"Even if she truly intends to kill, she won't be able to kill Chu Feng in his current state. And even if some accident were to occur, I won't step in immediately. So you needn't worry about Chu Feng's safety," Immortal Golden Crane replied.
"Well, this is your turf — everything's up to you. I'm just here to watch the show," the Old Monk in Plain Robes said with a smile.
"Actually, there's not much left to watch. The outcome is already decided. Before, Li Ming was only pretending to be provoked by Chu Feng, but now it's different."
"Now that Chu Feng has touched upon her forbidden sore spot, she's been genuinely enraged. Coupled with his provocative words, Li Ming's mind has been completely consumed by rage."
"In this state, Li Ming can no longer maintain any strategy against Chu Feng. He'll win very soon," Immortal Golden Crane said.
"Indeed. That kid Chu Feng is quite the slippery one — actually managing to take advantage like that and then fully exploiting the anger Li Ming felt from being touched."
"But honestly, I find myself liking that kid Chu Feng more and more," the Old Monk in Plain Robes said with a chuckle.
"The feeling is mutual," Immortal Golden Crane replied, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.
Neither of them looked down on Chu Feng for resorting such methods. On the contrary, they both admired his quick thinking and ability to adapt on the fly.
"Then why don't you take him as your disciple?"
"With you watching over him, no one in the
"Chu Feng does appear to be slightly superior to Li Ming in various aspects. However, I am someone who sees things through to the end. I've already set my sights on Li Ming and won't easily take on another disciple."
"Moreover, even the best natural talent needs proper nurturing. The fact that Chu Feng performs well now doesn't necessarily mean he'll continue to excel forever. It's entirely possible that Li Ming will surpass him."
"In any case, between the two of them, I still have higher hopes for Li Ming," Immortal Golden Crane said.
"Oh really?" The Old Monk in Plain Robes smiled faintly, though the look in his eyes clearly conveyed disbelief.
He knew that Immortal Golden Crane's reluctance to take Chu Feng as a disciple actually had another reason behind it.
Meanwhile, Li Ming was chasing Chu Feng desperately around the formation.
As for Chu Feng, he simply ran without retaliating — he didn't even bother engaging with Young Master Li Ming.
And at this moment, the spot Chu Feng was running toward was less than a meter from the Pillar of Profound Light. He reached out and grabbed the Pillar firmly in his hand.
*Thud—*
After seizing the Pillar of Profound Light, Chu Feng suddenly halted, turned around, and looked at Young Master Li Ming — who had just caught up from behind — with a grin on his face. "Sister Li Ming, a bet's a bet. I win."
