"Then I shall trouble you, little benefactor."
Long Xiaoxiao did not refuse. On the contrary, she accepted with evident delight.
After that, Chu Feng began treating Long Xiaoxiao's injuries.
Though Long Nanxun's opinion of Chu Feng had undergone a tremendous shift, Long Xiaoxiao was, after all, the woman he held dear. Watching her show such enthusiasm toward Chu Feng — her very eyes practically lighting up whenever she looked at him — while she remained somewhat cold toward himself… The stark contrast left a bitter taste in his heart.
Still, he did not get angry. He did not leave either, merely standing in place and watching Long Xiaoxiao.
Although he envied Chu Feng for earning such favor from Long Xiaoxiao, he genuinely wished for her to recover quickly. He wanted her to be healthy.
And under Chu Feng's treatment, Long Xiaoxiao's condition improved remarkably fast.
Though her complexion was still pale, her features had returned to what they once were. Given a little more time, she would make a full recovery.
"Long Nanxun, how DARE you!"
Suddenly, a furious shout erupted from the distant sky.
The sound was so deafening that the mountain peak shook violently and even the void itself rumbled in response.
Looking toward the source, several figures hurtled through the distant void, bearing down with menacing momentum.
They were Elder Ling Tao and the other elders.
However, the group that had arrived now was considerably larger than the one Chu Feng had seen before. Alongside Elder Ling Tao were other members of the Long Clan whom he had never met.
But the voice that had scolded Long Nanxun did not belong to Elder Ling Tao. It belonged to a woman.
She was a young woman, positioned ahead of all the elders.
One had to admit — she was rather beautiful. Calling her breathtaking, enough to topple kingdoms, would not be an exaggeration.
Her attire was lavish, her bearing extraordinary. Clearly, she was someone of exceptional status.
Yet her gaze was icy, her features sharp and cunning. At a glance, it was obvious she was no kind soul.
Long Xiaoxiao, too, was no pushover, but at least she appeared innocent and endearing. This woman did not. One look at her face and you knew she was not to be trifled with.
"Long Mumu? Why is she here?"
Upon seeing this woman, Long Nanxun's face drained of color with fear.
He had held the Long Clan Leader's token without flinching, unafraid even of the eighth-rank Supreme Elder Ling Tao. Yet the mere sight of this woman had turned him pale with terror.
Chu Feng took notice. This Long Mumu was no ordinary figure.
"Long Nanxun, do you know your crime?"
In the blink of an eye, Long Mumu had led her entourage down from the void, landing one after another upon the mountain peak.
Once she touched down, she strode straight toward Long Nanxun.
"Princess Mumu, I… I do not know what crime I have committed."
Long Nanxun dared not be negligent. Even knowing full well that this woman was Long Xiaoxiao's enemy, he still hurriedly bowed in respect.
His very voice was trembling.
He understood all too well that in the current Long Clan, Long Mumu was the one person he absolutely could not afford to offend.
After all, she had managed to bring down even Long Xiaoxiao and her mother — someone of his standing stood no chance.
"Forging my father's personal token, and you still dare claim innocence?"
"Men, execute him on the spot."
Long Mumu was not joking. She genuinely intended to kill Long Nanxun right then and there.
The moment she gave the order, the people behind her drew their weapons without hesitation and advanced toward Long Nanxun.
The look of it was unmistakable — they were going to kill him.
Long Nanxun was terrified beyond words.
"I'd like to see anyone dare try."
