"My Lord, this wrist guard is useful to me, so I took the liberty of keeping it. Here are the other treasures from the treasury—please accept them." As Chu Feng spoke, he produced a Universe Bag.
Inside this Universe Bag were all the treasures he had collected from the treasury.
"Keep them, keep them. Those things are of no use to me." Youyuan waved his hand dismissively.
Seeing this, Chu Feng didn't insist further. He knew that these items held little value for him, and even less for Youyuan.
"Benevolent benefactor! Benevolent benefactor!"
At that moment, voice after voice rang out—it was Luo Dali.
Not only Luo Dali, but the entire Luo family had also come rushing over. Upon drawing near, they descended to the ground and dropped to their knees, kowtowing and bowing deeply to Chu Feng in reverence.
Luo Dali was at least genuine—his face was filled with gratitude. But the rest of the Luo family wore expressions of panic and apprehension.
"I promised I would save your family. I didn't go back on my word, did I?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"The benefactor's word is worth a thousand gold. Luo Dali is endlessly grateful," Luo Dali said with deep sincerity.
"Get up, get up—there's no need for such formalities." Chu Feng raised his arm, and a gentle wave of energy lifted Luo Dali and all the members of the Luo family to their feet.
At that moment, Luo Xiaofeng and the others from the Luo family were stunned. They hadn't expected Chu Feng to help them up. After exchanging glances with one another, they spoke in unison: "My Lord, we were blind and foolish before. We beg you to punish us."
"Punish you?" Chu Feng smiled faintly, then said, "I came here to save you, not to punish you."
Hearing these words, Luo Xiaofeng and the others flushed red with shame.
So Chu Feng really was this magnanimous.
And his magnanimity only made their pettiness all the more glaring.
It filled them with guilt they could hardly bear.
After that, Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "There's no need for thanks. Everyone, leave this place. If you don't leave now, you may be trapped here forever."
At Chu Feng's words, the group seemed to sense that something was amiss. But only after offering their thanks once more did they turn and depart.
Once everyone had gone, Chu Feng left together with Youyuan, Ying Mingchao, and Zi Xunyi.
After exiting the lair, Chu Feng gripped the oval-shaped stone in his hand. Immediately, light flickered, and a colossal object materialized behind the group.
It was indeed something resembling a nest, massive as a small mountain.
Then, with a mere thought from Chu Feng, the stone glowed once more, and the nest began to shrink.
In the end, the mountain-sized colossus was reduced to a tiny mote of light no bigger than a fingernail.
As it happened, the oval stone had a notch in it—a notch perfectly sized to hold the shrank-down nest.
The two merged into one, for they had been part of a single whole all along.
"Chu Feng, you actually obtained the method to control this nest?"
Seeing this, Youyuan's face lit up with delight. He understood how extraordinary this nest was. One could say its value was in no way inferior to Chu Feng's Supreme Wrist Guard—it was a truly unexpected harvest.
"The truth is, this thing was inside that enormous bug's belly. The entire Fierce Beast clan was nothing more than puppets hatched by that creature," Chu Feng explained.
