"Cough cough, Miss Xia, I didn't see anything. You don't need to be nervous."
Seeing this, Chu Feng felt a bit embarrassed as well, so instinctively, he blurted out those words.
"At least come up with a decent lie. You say you didn't see anything? Then how do you explain your body's reaction?" Chu Lingxi pointed at the area below Chu Feng's waist.
Hearing Chu Lingxi say that, Chu Feng finally noticed that a certain part of him had long since awakened like a slumbering beast come to life.
This beast might have been too powerful — even though he was wearing pants, it still couldn't conceal its imposing presence. From the outside, it was perfectly obvious.
So even Chu Lingxi had noticed the change in Chu Feng's body.
"Cough cough… it's from holding it in. You wouldn't understand. Men can get like this when they hold it in too long."
Chu Feng laughed awkwardly while adjusting his pants, trying to make his awakened beast look a little less conspicuous.
Seeing Chu Feng like this, Chu Lingxi covered her mouth and giggled.
Although Chu Feng had explained it with a perfectly straight face, Chu Lingxi knew full well that only a fool would believe that explanation.
BOOM—
Suddenly, a thunderous boom erupted from below, and at the same time, massive splashes of water came surging upward as though the surface were boiling.
In that instant, Chu Feng's gaze turned grave. He could feel an incredibly vast killing intent rising from below.
"Chu Feng, I'm going to kill you!"
Right after, Xia Yun'er's furious roar rang out.
Before long, Xia Yun'er appeared within Chu Feng's line of sight once more.
She had already gotten dressed, and in her hands she gripped two silver longswords, her face covered in rage.
Looking at the current Xia Yun'er, Chu Feng understood something.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, once her face was covered in fury and killing intent, she would look rather terrifying.
Most importantly, it was Xia Yun'er's aura.
Chu Feng clearly remembered that the first time he met Xia Yun'er, her cultivation had been that of a first-rate True Immortal.
But right now, the aura she was radiating was that of a fourth-rate True Immortal.
"Did this girl conceal her cultivation from the very beginning?"
Chu Feng was quite surprised, but alongside his surprise, he had no choice but to take her seriously.
So Chu Feng immediately unleashed his Divine Lightning Mark to boost his cultivation, while simultaneously gripping the Divine Dragon Blood Ruler.
Swish swish swish—
The twin swords in Xia Yun'er's hands thrust forward one after another. Blade after blade of light, trailing golden flames, surged toward Chu Feng.
These were no ordinary attacks — they were Forbidden Martial Arts.
However, Chu Feng was no pushover. With a few deft sweeps of his Divine Dragon Blood Ruler, he deflected the incoming light blades head-on.
Zing—
A piercing sword cry rang through the air as Xia Yun'er closed in with both swords thrust forward.
Xia Yun'er's speed was simply too fast. The very moment Chu Feng deflected her light blades, she had already arrived right in front of him.
This time, Xia Yun'er's half-immortal weapons charged head-on, and their power was even greater.
Chu Feng had no time to think. He could only swing his Divine Dragon Blood Ruler to block.
Sparks flew, ripples spread in every direction, and the water in the pool churned wildly from the force of their clash.
In an instant, the two of them had locked into close combat, their half-immortal weapons clashing blade against blade.
Chu Feng's skill in close-quarters combat had always been among the very best of his generation — he was essentially unmatched among his peers.
But after encountering Xia Yun'er, Chu Feng truly felt he had met his match.
Xia Yun'er's swordsmanship was incredibly fierce — at times like two silver dragons, at times brutally savage.
It was as though those were not half-immortal weapons at all, but extensions of Xia Yun'er's very body, fused with her completely. Her mastery of them was nothing short of perfect.
Fortunately, Chu Feng was no slouch either. So even though Xia Yun'er's attacks were razor-sharp and every thrust aimed to take his life, he managed to hold his ground.
"Miss Xia, it's a misunderstanding — a misunderstanding!"
