Chu Feng rode the blue dragon formed by a martial skill, carrying the peerless little beauty as they darted among the white clouds, the cool breeze blowing past—how free and exhilarating it was!
Thus, Chu Feng couldn’t help but circle in the sky a few more times, because having his prospective wife Zi Ling holding him like this felt truly wonderful, and he couldn’t bear to lose the feeling.
It wasn’t until Zi Ling, driven hungry to fury, shouted, «If you don’t take this girl to eat right now, I’ll starve to death!» that Chu Feng hastily accelerated, heading towards a populated area.
«Damn it, dead Chu Feng, smelly Chu Feng, how dare you tease this girl? You said you’d take me to eat something delicious, but instead you just fly and spin around in the sky. The sun is about to set, and you haven’t even found a single city—this girl is really going to starve to death!»
Zi Ling was, after all, a typical young lady of high birth, so she had one flaw: the moment she got hungry, her temper flared.
At that moment, her delicate, fair hands were no longer contentedly hugging Chu Feng; instead, they were like two small pincers, madly pinching various parts of his body to vent her anger.
«Ahhhhh! Wifey, spare me!»
«I was just enjoying the sunny weather, nice breeze, and wanted to be with you—»
«You’re still talking!»
«Owwww! Fine, wifey, look, there’s a village up ahead. How about we go there for a quick meal?»
«Whatever, as long as I get food now. I’m so hungry I don’t even want to move.»
Unable to endure Zi Ling’s torment any longer, Chu Feng abandoned the idea of finding a proper restaurant in a city.
At that moment, a reasonably decent village appeared below. Though not wealthy, it surely had chickens, ducks, geese, and meat.
So, after circling once, Chu Feng landed outside the village, then used his mysterious mask to change their appearances before leading Zi Ling into the village.
«Boo-hoo… woooo…»
However, as soon as they entered, Chu Feng sensed something odd. The village road was eerily quiet, with only a group of children playing. Even when the occasional elder passed by, they looked dejected and downcast. Most importantly, with his sharp perception, Chu Feng could hear bursts of weeping from inside some houses—the cries were either from the elderly or women, heartrendingly mournful.
«Chu Feng, something must have happened here,» Zi Ling suddenly said. Clearly, her more keen mental power had also noticed the village’s strangeness.
«Wow, the big sister is so pretty!» Just then, the children spotted Chu Feng and Zi Ling, swarming to surround them.
Zi Ling was simply too beautiful; her face seemed as if it shouldn’t belong to the mortal world, so anyone who saw her was captivated by her stunning looks—these innocent children were even less able to resist.
«Hey, snot-nosed kid, don’t touch her!»
Chu Feng saw a little girl with snot all over her face, hands, and mouth reaching out her dirty hand to touch Zi Ling’s purple dress.
Chu Feng was furious. Even he wouldn’t dare touch Zi Ling so brazenly, yet this dirty child did—he couldn’t tolerate it.
«Ah! So mean!» But the moment Chu Feng shouted, he regretted it, because his voice was too loud and scared all the children.
