"What's your name?" the woman asked.
"You tell me yours first," Chu Feng replied.
"You really don't recognize me?" the woman asked.
"Obviously not," Chu Feng said.
At this, the woman pouted her lips, looking somewhat proud, but more than that, she seemed skeptical of what Chu Feng had said.
"It's fine, you'll find out soon enough. But… that thing doesn't belong to you. Give it back to me. If you return it, I won't make things difficult for you," the woman said, pointing at the sphere in Chu Feng's hand.
"Why should I give it to you? I picked it up," Chu Feng said, turning the sphere over in his hand.
"You really know how to talk. So if you pick up something in someone else's house, it becomes yours?" the woman asked.
"This place clearly wasn't set up by you," Chu Feng said, pointing at the grand formation.
"But this place does belong to me," the woman said.
"How can you prove that?" Chu Feng asked.
"If I prove it, will you tell me your name?" the woman asked.
Chu Feng considered for a moment, then said, "I suppose that's not unreasonable."
"Then it's settled," the woman said.
"It's a deal," Chu Feng said.
"A deal is a deal," the woman added with a smile.
With that, the woman walked toward Chu Feng, passing right beside him.
As she drew close, Chu Feng could clearly sense the fragrance emanating from her.
This scent was not produced by any substance — it seemed to come from the woman's body itself.
It was her natural body fragrance.
Chu Feng had to admit, this woman was truly a rare beauty. At the very least, she was a pleasure to look at.
The woman now stood before the grand formation. She produced a special token and tossed it into the formation.
She formed a hand seal with one hand, then called out softly, "Stop."
In the next moment, the grand formation actually ceased its operation.
Then the woman changed her hand seal and called out again, "Turn."
In the next moment, the formation resumed its operation once more.
"So this really is her territory," the Queen said with some surprise, clearly having not expected that this place truly belonged to this woman.
But Chu Feng had noticed more than just that. When the woman activated the token, he had observed that she was also a Snake-patterned Heavenly Cloak Spirit World Master.
Clearly, in terms of both martial cultivation and Spirit World talent, this woman was no weaker than Chu Feng — and her age was even younger than his.
Chu Feng roughly determined that this woman was likely a monster on the same level as Li Yue'er.
"Alright then, what's your name?" the woman turned around and asked Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng," Chu Feng said.
"And you still say you're not from the Chu Heavenly Clan?" The woman looked smug, feeling that her earlier guess had been correct.
"I'm truly not from the Chu Heavenly Clan," Chu Feng said.
"You're stubborn. But it's fine, I'll look into it," the woman said.
But just then, Chu Feng's gaze suddenly changed, and his heartbeat quickened.
"I didn't know this place had an owner, and I trespassed. That was wrong of me. Allow me to apologize," Chu Feng said, cupping his fist and bowing to the woman.
"Those who don't know are forgiven. Just return it to me," the woman said, pointing at the sphere in Chu Feng's hand.
Whoosh— Chu Feng tossed the sphere to the woman and said, "What I owe you, I'll make up for in the future."
With that, he turned around, preparing to leave.
"Chu Feng."
But just then, the woman suddenly spoke.
"What is it, little sis? Not planning to let me go?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"Chu Feng, you have to promise me — keep this place a secret. You can't tell anyone about it," the woman said.
"I promise," Chu Feng said.
"Then we'll meet again," the woman said with a smile.
That smile was utterly enchanting and gentle, enough to make one's heart sway.
But Chu Feng was not the least bit bewildered by it. He smiled faintly.
"Until we meet again."
With that, Chu Feng departed without delay.
Chu Feng left in a great hurry. After departing this place, he swiftly made his way toward the exit of the Divine Mountain.
"Why the rush? Why didn't you chat with that girl a bit longer? This Queen thinks she had quite a good impression of you."
"And with her talent and her level of cultivation, she must have a very deep background."
