"Come on, Chu Feng, stop sulking."
"Big Sister Yue Xian treats us really well."
Su Rou said to Chu Feng.
"Yeah, yeah, Big Sister Yue Xian is really, really good to us!"
Su Mei nodded vigorously in agreement with her sister.
Seeing these two girls call Yue Xian "big sister" so affectionately, constantly mindful of Yue Xian's feelings—
Chu Feng could tell that their bond with Yue Xian was no act. They had genuinely grown close.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, the formation's power within the immortal cave dissipated.
Crack—
Crack—
Then, cracks began spreading across the walls inside the immortal cave at alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, they covered every visible surface of the rock walls, and loose stones began falling away.
The immortal cave was on the verge of total collapse.
"The rumors are true. This place is going to cave in."
Chu Feng saw that things were going south and quickly brought Su Rou and Su Mei out of the cave.
Once they emerged, they found that it wasn't just the immortal cave—massive fissures had opened up across the entire mountain range. Thick plumes of smoke billowed skyward in the distance, and parts of the mountains had already begun to crumble.
The rumors were indeed true. Once the Dominant Star Celestial Herb and the Dominant Star Devil Flower had both vanished from within these mountains, this vast range simply could not hold together.
But before the mountains fully collapsed, Chu Feng had already left the range behind.
After all, this was not Chu Feng's territory. He held no attachment to it whatsoever—whether it existed or ceased to exist made no difference to him.
As they traveled, Chu Feng saw no sign of anyone. Not a soul from the Dominant Star Villa, and no one else either.
It was only when Chu Feng stepped out of the cultivation forbidden ground that he understood why there wasn't a single person in sight.
The Dominant Star Villa—every structure had been destroyed.
Rolling clouds of smoke had darkened the sky like an overcast shroud.
The once-magnificent Dominant Star Villa was nothing but wreckage scattered across the ground.
The Dominant Star Villa had been razed. Though not many had died, the villa—having endured for countless generations—was gone forever.
Yue Xian's doing, no question.
Though the people of the Dominant Star Villa had escaped, her fury had not subsided.
Reducing the villa to ruins had served as a satisfying outlet for her anger.
But Chu Feng didn't really care about any of that.
What Chu Feng cared about most was finding a place with beautiful scenery.
Because at dawn tomorrow, he would be parting ways with Su Rou and Su Mei.
The little time he had left—he intended to make the most of it.
Even if he couldn't do what he truly wanted, he would still cherish every moment.
Eventually, Chu Feng stopped beside a lake.
The lake itself was unremarkable aside from its crystal-clear water. However, the grassland surrounding it was something special.
The grass here was not green but pink. Across this pink meadow there wasn't a single flower, yet a faint, delicate fragrance drifted through the air.
Standing in this beautiful grassland, Chu Feng didn't erect any grand palaces using barriers or formations.
Instead, he simply lay on the grass with Su Rou and Su Mei, savoring the gentle breeze sweeping across the lake's surface, watching the sunset paint the sky in hues of red, and enjoying nature in its purest form.
Chu Feng was in excellent spirits at that moment—but not solely because of the scenery.
The world of martial cultivation was vast and magnificent, with breathtaking views to be found everywhere. Chu Feng had long since grown tired of such sights.
The true reason for his happiness was, of course, the people by his side.
Su Rou and Su Mei.
As night fell, the sky became a tapestry of countless stars, a sight too beautiful for words.
They stayed up the entire night, talking without end.
But it was Su Rou and Su Mei who asked the most questions, and Chu Feng who gave the most answers.
Su Rou and Su Mei were endlessly curious about everything Chu Feng had gone through to achieve such rapid advancement.
So Chu Feng could only keep talking, but he had experienced far too much—ten days and ten nights would not have been enough to tell it all.
And so, eventually, Chu Feng stopped trying to recount every single thing he had experienced.
