"Then,
"Don't call me Senior. Just call me Xiu Luo,"
"Xiu Luo?" The name caught Song Ge off guard for a moment before she spoke. "That's certainly a unique name."
"You were probably going to add 'Spirit World Master' after Xiu Luo, weren't you?" Chu Feng asked with a grin.
"Has someone said that before?" Song Ge asked.
"Of course," Chu Feng said.
"Please don't take offense, Senior. I didn't mean to laugh at you. It's just that the name 'Xiu Luo' immediately makes people think of the Xiu Luo Spirit World Master," Song Ge said.
"It's fine. But… could you stop calling me Senior? I told you already — I'm younger than you," Chu Feng said.
"Sorry, Senior, I… no, no — that's not right. I mean, Xiu Luo."
Song Ge fumbled over her words in a fluster.
Seeing how awkward she looked, Chu Feng laughed and waved his hand. "Call me whatever you like. As long as you're happy, it doesn't matter."
"Then I'll still call you Senior Xiu Luo."
"Even though you're younger than me, you saved my life. If I were to call you by your name just because you're younger, that would be disrespectful to you."
"But Senior Xiu Luo, this
"Moreover, the Cloud Yao Heavenly Cave is notoriously domineering and unreasonable. Even the Water Mirror Heavenly Cave doesn't want to cross paths with them."
"Since you killed him, word gets out, it will bring you trouble," Song Ge said.
"It's fine. Because I'm not afraid of them at all," Chu Feng said, looking utterly unconcerned.
Hearing this, the look in Song Ge's eyes shifted. From that single sentence alone, she realized that Chu Feng seemed even more formidable than she had imagined.
After all, in Song Ge's eyes, the Cloud Yao Heavenly Cave was already an enormous power that no one dared to provoke.
"Senior Xiu Luo may not care about the Cloud Yao Heavenly Cave, but I think there's no need to get entangled in unnecessary trouble. So we should dispose of the body and destroy the evidence. Would you be willing?" Song Ge asked.
Only then did Chu Feng realize that despite Song Ge's delicate appearance, she was quite the ruthless one.
"Actually, I was thinking the same thing. But you were in shock just now, so I didn't make a move. Since you agree, let's do it."
As Chu Feng spoke, he swept his sleeve, and a cloud of dust rose into the air.
Song Ge's face immediately filled with dread.
She realized that the dust rising into the air wasn't actual dust — it was what remained of Ma Liang's body.
With nothing more than a wave of his sleeve, Chu Feng had obliterated Ma Liang's body entirely.
This wasn't just a matter of strength. The fact that Chu Feng hadn't even changed his expression told Song Ge that he was someone who had seen the world and was decisive in killing.
After that, Chu Feng and Song Ge continued chatting for a long while.
Under Chu Feng's guidance, Song Ge gradually relaxed and was no longer as stiff as before.
She stopped peppering every other sentence with "Senior" and dropped that look of reverence from her face.
She began speaking with Chu Feng normally, the way one would with a friend her own age.
She also started calling Chu Feng by his name — Xiu Luo.
As for Chu Feng's background, he only let Song Ge know that he was not from the Myriad Realms Star Domain. He had come here simply to take care of some business.
As for Song Ge, Chu Feng learned that she had grown up with only her mother and had no idea who her father was.
But Song Ge desperately hoped that one day she would be able to meet her father.
She held no grudge against him whatsoever for abandoning her and her mother.
She even told Chu Feng that lately she had been experiencing a strange illusion.
She kept feeling as though someone was watching her.
