Chu Feng was brimming with excitement. He paid no mind to the ongoing battle and projected his consciousness directly into his Spirit Hall. That was when he discovered a breathtakingly beautiful young girl standing within the Spirit Hall.
Her skin was fair, her figure flawless, and her face was nothing short of perfection.
It was as though every quality that could possibly define a woman's beauty could be found in her.
This… this was Her Majesty, Eggy.
"Eggy, you're finally awake!"
The moment he laid eyes on Eggy, Chu Feng's smile stretched from ear to ear.
Such joy was exceedingly rare for him.
Even when he had obtained the Spirit Hall army, he had not been this happy.
"You fool, why did you come in here?"
"Hurry up and open the Spirit Hall gate. I'll deal with that Xue Ji for you."
"Nobody gets to bully you. I'm absolutely not letting her off today."
Although Eggy was happy to see Chu Feng, the mention of Xue Ji immediately put a scowl on her face.
Not only did a trace of killing intent surface, but she also unleashed her aura.
"Eighth rank Martial Ancestor?"
"Eggy fully refined the Asura Divine Demon Stone?"
Chu Feng stared at Eggy in astonishment, because he could sense her cultivation. She was now an eighth rank Martial Ancestor.
"Mhm, fully refined. What do you think — not a bad improvement, right?"
"If it weren't for the Asura Divine Demon Stone, you would have left me far behind. Your speed of progress is just absurd."
Eggy said with a beaming smile.
Her smile was so sweet that Chu Feng felt his heart nearly melt.
In truth, when you really counted, Eggy had not been asleep for all that long. But Chu Feng had long grown accustomed to having Eggy by his side, so during the days she was absent, he always felt lonely. That led him to subconsciously think that Eggy had been sleeping for much longer than she actually had.
However, the thing Chu Feng was most worried about now was whether Eggy could defeat Xue Ji.
"Eggy, Xue Ji is only a seventh rank Martial Ancestor, but she possesses a four-rank combat power boost."
The reason Chu Feng was worried was that he clearly remembered Eggy had previously held a two-rank combat power boost when she was a first rank Martial Ancestor.
And this kind of heaven-defying combat power was generally determined when one first stepped into a major realm. Unless one had been influenced from the very beginning, it was extremely difficult to enhance.
So even though Eggy had made tremendous progress, leaping from a first rank Martial Ancestor to an eighth rank Martial Ancestor in such a short time — an eighth rank Martial Ancestor with only a two-rank combat power boost was clearly still inferior to Xue Ji, who was a seventh rank Martial Ancestor with a four-rank combat power boost.
"Chu Feng, if you submit to me now, there is still time."
Just then, Xue Ji's voice rang out.
Seeing that Chu Feng had yet to respond, she assumed he was hesitating.
"Heard that? She's calling you."
"Hurry up and open the gate. Let this Queen teach her a lesson."
Eggy urged him on.
"Eggy, are you sure?"
Chu Feng was still unconvinced.
"Why are you being so wishy-washy? When has this Queen ever let you down?" Eggy said to him.
"That… actually hasn't happened."
Chu Feng chuckled. Eggy really had never let him down.
In fact, without Eggy, there would be no him today.
So Chu Feng stopped hesitating and chose to trust Eggy.
He projected his consciousness back into his main body and then opened the Spirit Hall gate.
"What's this — are you trying to get Yu Sha to come out and talk me down?"
"Chu Feng, it's pointless. Today I'm not giving face to anyone."
Seeing the Spirit Hall gate open, Xue Ji assumed Chu Feng was about to send Yu Sha to reason with her.
"My, what a big talk."
From within the Spirit Hall gate, Eggy's figure stepped out.
The moment Eggy appeared, Chu Feng's first reaction was not that a great battle was about to unfold.
Instead, he found the sight before him utterly pleasing to the eyes.
Both Eggy and Xue Ji were stunningly beautiful, yet they were of completely different types.
Eggy's figure was equally exquisite, but she always maintained a youthful appearance. The beauty she exuded was more about innocence and cuteness — playful, quirky, brimming with the charm of youth, and making one instinctively want to protect her.
Xue Ji, on the other hand, was entirely different. She was seductive and alluring, like a creature of desire made flesh, far more captivating and soul-snaring.
With the two of them in the same frame, any other beauty would be utterly overshadowed.
"Well, well — little girl, it's been a while."
"So this fellow Chu Feng finally has the nerve to let you fight me?"
Upon seeing Eggy, a meaningful smile spread across Xue Ji's face.
"Xue Ji, let's have our battle. If I win, you return the blue stones you took from Chu Feng before."
"If I lose, all of these Asura Divine Demon Stones are yours, and Chu Feng will help you remove them."
Eggy declared.
"Deal."
Xue Ji agreed immediately.
Swish, swish—
