"You three must not yet know that Young Friend Chu Feng is a Martial Asura Spirit World Master?" Liu Chengkun said with a smile to the three of them.
"A Martial Asura Spirit World Master?!!!" Just as expected, upon hearing these words, Huang Luo and the other two were stunned once more.
Had anyone else made such a claim, the three of them would certainly not have believed it. But Liu Chengkun was not the type to joke around, so they took him at his word.
Still, it was difficult for them to fully accept the truth — after all, Martial Asura Spirit World Masters were exceedingly rare.
"Chu Feng, you're way too incredible! You're actually a Martial Asura Spirit World Master — why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Tang Ying was practically ecstatic. She had long known that Chu Feng was a Dragon Mark Spirit World Master, but she had no idea he was a Martial Asura Spirit World Master.
And a Martial Asura Spirit World Master was no ordinary thing. To give one example — among Dragon Mark Spirit World Masters, the value of a Martial Asura Spirit World Master was incomparably greater than any other.
"You never asked," Chu Feng said with a faint smile.
"But even if you are a Martial Asura Spirit World Master, Young Friend Chu Feng, you shouldn't have been able to defeat the Red Lizard. Could it be that you've been hiding your true cultivation?" Huang Luo asked curiously.
"You're mistaken. Young Friend Chu Feng's Martial Asura Spirit is extraordinarily powerful. He used only a single Spirit to slay the Red Lizard."
"And the Red Lizard didn't even have a chance to fight back," Liu Chengkun explained.
"Gasp~~~!!!"
Upon hearing this, all three of them involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.
They had pieced it together — Chu Feng himself could not possibly have defeated the Red Lizard. It was Chu Feng's Spirit that had killed it.
But under normal circumstances, Spirits were always weaker than their master, or at best on the same level.
Yet Chu Feng's Spirit was actually stronger than Chu Feng himself. This was a testament to the strength of Chu Feng's Spirit World techniques — otherwise, how could he possibly control a Spirit more powerful than himself?
"Tang Ying, Ah Cai, what do the two of you plan to do? Will you leave this dangerous place, or join the Red Butterfly Association?" Chu Feng asked Tang Ying. The reason he had followed Liu Chengkun here was really for Tang Ying's sake.
"Join the Red Butterfly Association?" At these words, Tang Ying and Ah Cai both looked taken aback.
"I've already discussed this with Senior Liu. As long as you're willing, the Red Butterfly Association is happy to take you in," Chu Feng said.
"That's right. If you wish to join, the Red Butterfly Association will be your home," Liu Chengkun nodded.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior, and thank you, Chu Feng. But we really don't want to trouble you any further."
"Especially you, Chu Feng — we haven't known each other long, yet you've saved me multiple times. And after you clearly instructed me to leave this dangerous place as quickly as possible, I was caught by the Red Lizard again, and even dragged you into trouble. I'm really too…" Tang Ying's face was filled with guilt as she spoke of this.
"Let bygones be bygones. Don't forget — we're friends. And besides, I'm still your bodyguard," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Chu Feng, thank you. You're the best person I, Tang Ying, have ever met in my life. But I really can't keep relying on you," Tang Ying said.
"So it seems you intend to take Ah Cai and leave far away." Chu Feng already understood Tang Ying's decision.
"Mm." Tang Ying nodded.
"In that case, let me alter your appearances one more time. Remember — this time… you need to go much farther," Chu Feng said. In truth, the last time he had bid Tang Ying farewell, he had already changed her appearance. But she had still been captured by the Red Lizard and forced to restore her original looks.
So this time, Chu Feng intended to do a proper job of it, aiming to make it so that even a Dragon Mark Spirit World Master would be unable to see through the fact that Tang Ying's appearance had been altered.
"Chu Feng, make our appearances more ordinary," Tang Ying said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng's expression shifted slightly. While Tang Ying could not be called an otherworldly beauty, she was still quite attractive. Even Ah Cai had a fair share of good looks.
