"The Money-Loving Immortal is right. These two Blood-Devouring Armors already have their owners—Princess Meowmeow and Xian Yuyin." After examining them, Chu Feng said to everyone.
"How can this be?" Hearing these words, many people's faces showed expressions of frustration. By this point, they all hoped that Chu Feng and Xian Meowmeow would enter the Blood-Devouring Killing Array together—they did not want Xian Meowmeow and Xian Yuyin to go.
"You bastard! Who gave you the right to make decisions on your own and craft those specifically for me and Xian Yuyin? Did you get our permission?" At this moment, Xian Meowmeow's little face flushed red with anger, and she exploded on the spot—she was truly furious.
"Meowmeow, do not be rude," the Elven King said.
"Princess Meowmeow, please calm yourself. This matter has nothing to do with me—it was my senior brother's decision."
"But please do not blame my senior brother either. At that time, no one could have predicted that a young friend named Chu Feng would suddenly appear along the way. Everyone assumed it would be you and Young Master Yuyin going. So... sigh, there's no use saying anything now. The arrangement is already set. If the princess wishes to place blame, then blame me."
The Money-Loving Immortal dropped to one knee with a thud. His gesture appeared loyal and righteous, but to many, he was simply putting on an act.
In truth, the moment Chu Feng had spoken those words, the Money-Loving Immortal's heart had nearly burst with joy—because it meant that his barrier technique was truly formidable enough to have deceived Chu Feng.
At this moment, Xian Yuyin and his father showed no outward reaction, but inside they were equally ecstatic.
Especially remembering how imposing and untouchable Chu Feng had seemed the previous night—they now felt all the more gratified, because they had finally gotten to see Chu Feng lose face.
"Meowmeow, don't worry. Although these two Blood-Devouring Armors were indeed prepared for you and Young Master Yuyin, I only need to make a few minor modifications, and they'll be wearable." Just then, Chu Feng suddenly spoke up.
"What?" The moment Chu Feng said this, not only were Xian Yuyin and his father startled—even Xian Meowmeow and the other Ancient Elves were taken aback.
"Chu Feng, is that true?" Xian Meowmeow asked again, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Of course it's true. It's nothing difficult." Chu Feng smiled and nodded.
"Young Friend Chu Feng, please do not act rashly! These Blood-Devouring Armors were painstakingly crafted by my senior brother and me over many days. I understand their properties better than anyone. They are now finished products—if you tamper with them, you will cause the Blood-Devouring Armors to lose their original function."
"Even if you manage to wear them successfully, if you enter the Blood-Devouring Killing Array and the armor cannot protect you, what would be the point of going in? It would simply be suicide." The Money-Loving Immortal seemed to have been prepared for this all along, launching into a lengthy speech without hesitation.
Hearing this, Xian Meowmeow was dumbfounded. Even if she wanted to get angry, she wouldn't know how—because she couldn't determine whether what the Money-Loving Immortal said was true or false.
If the Money-Loving Immortal was lying, that would be fine.
But what if the Money-Loving Immortal was telling the truth? Then Chu Feng wearing the Blood-Devouring Armor into the Killing Array would be no different from seeking death.
Xian Meowmeow could not bear that responsibility—nor could anyone else present.
So right now, this was not merely a concern for Xian Meowmeow and Princess Lingyue—even the elders and guardians were deeply worried.
At this point, only two people remained calm—Chu Feng and the Elven King. Chu Feng was fearless and unflappable, and the Elven King remained silent throughout, utterly composed, wearing an air of detached amusement as though he were watching a show.
Chu Feng smiled again and said, "The Money-Loving Immortal is probably overthinking this. The Blood-Devouring Armors aren't as difficult to handle as you imagine. There's no need for you to worry—I can take care of it myself."
