"Cough, Miss Xia, I didn't see anything. You don't need to get nervous."
Seeing this scene,
"At least come up with a believable lie. You say you didn't see anything, then how do you explain your body's reaction?"
Only after Chu Lingxi said that did Chu Feng notice that a certain part of him had long since awakened like a stirring beast.
This beast might have been too powerful — even though he was wearing pants, they still couldn't conceal its intensity. From the outside, it was crystal clear.
So even Chu Lingxi had noticed the change in Chu Feng's body.
"Cough cough, it's just from holding it in. You wouldn't understand. It's easy for men to get like this when they need to pee."
Chu Feng gave an awkward laugh while adjusting his pants, trying to make his awakened beast look a little less obvious.
Seeing Chu Feng like this, Chu Lingxi covered her mouth and giggled.
Although Chu Feng had explained it to her with a completely straight face, Chu Lingxi knew full well that only a fool would believe his excuse.
BOOM—
Suddenly, a tremendous roar erupted from below, and at the same time, massive sprays of water churned upward as if the entire pool had been brought to a boil.
At that moment, Chu Feng's gaze turned solemn. He could feel a vast killing intent rising up from below.
"Chu Feng, I'm going to kill you!"
Right after that,
Before long, Xia Yun'er reappeared within Chu Feng's line of sight.
She had already gotten dressed, but in addition, she now held a pair of silver longswords in her hands, her face covered in rage.
Looking at Xia Yun'er in this state, Chu Feng came to understand something.
No matter how beautiful a woman might be, once her face was covered in fury and killing intent, she could look downright terrifying.
And most important of all was Xia Yun'er's aura.
Chu Feng clearly remembered that when he had first met Xia Yun'er, her cultivation had been at the First Grade True Immortal realm.
But right now, the aura she was radiating was that of a Fourth Grade True Immortal.
"Could this girl have been hiding her cultivation from the very start?"
Chu Feng was genuinely shocked, but even as surprise gripped him, he knew he had to take this seriously.
So Chu Feng immediately unleashed the Divine Lightning Mark to boost his cultivation, and at the same time drew the Divine Dragon Blood Scale.
Swish, swish, swish—
The twin swords in Xia Yun'er's hands thrust forward in rapid succession. Blades of light infused with golden flames surged toward Chu Feng.
These were no ordinary attacks — they were forbidden martial techniques.
But Chu Feng was far from helpless. With a series of sweeps of the Divine Dragon Blood Scale, he deflected the incoming blades of light head-on.
SHRIEK—
A piercing sword cry split the air as Xia Yun'er lunged forward with both blades.
Xia Yun'er's speed was simply terrifying — the moment Chu Feng had deflected her light blades, she had already arrived right in front of him.
This time, her half-immortal armaments came at him directly, and the power was even greater.
Chu Feng didn't dare waste a single thought. All he could do was swing the Divine Dragon Blood Scale to block.
Sparks erupted, ripples of energy spread outward, and the water in the pool was sent splashing in every direction by the force of their clash.
In an instant, the two of them engaged in fierce close combat, weapon against weapon, their half-immortal armaments clashing blow for blow.
Chu Feng's skill in close-quarters combat had always been among the very best of his generation — practically without equal among his peers.
But after encountering Xia Yun'er, Chu Feng truly felt he had met his match.
Xia Yun'er's swordplay was incredibly sharp. At times her twin blades moved like a pair of silver dragons, and at other times they struck with overwhelming ferocity.
It was as if these were not half-immortal armaments at all, but extensions of Xia Yun'er's very being — fused with her seamlessly, wielded by her with what could only be called perfection.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was no pushover either. So even though Xia Yun'er's attacks were savage, each one aimed to take his life, Chu Feng was still able to hold his ground.
"Miss Xia, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"
Chu Feng tried to explain while doing his utmost to fend off Xia Yun'er's relentless assault.
After all, he could feel her killing intent clearly now. He knew Xia Yun'er wasn't joking — this girl genuinely intended to kill him.
But the force standing behind Xia Yun'er was the Starfall Sacred Ground — a colossal power in the
And while this girl was certainly dangerous, the truth was that there was no real reason for him and Xia Yun'er to fight to the death.
As for what had happened with Li Xiang — Xia Yun'er might have been the one responsible, but she hadn't been the one to put him in that state.
Chu Feng certainly wanted vengeance for that, but he felt the time hadn't come yet. There was no need to kill Xia Yun'er over it.
At the very least, not until Chu Feng was strong enough to stand against the Starfall Sacred Ground did he want to avoid burning this bridge entirely.
