Chapter 32: The Best Way to Resolve a Misunderstanding
"Senior Brother Chu Feng certainly lives a carefree life." Just as Chu Feng left his room, preparing to thoroughly absorb the rewards granted by the system this time, a familiar voice filled with anger rang out.
Chu Feng turned around. At some unknown moment, Lu Linglong had arrived.
He was instantly delighted, stepped forward, and took Lu Linglong's hand, saying, "Junior Sister Linglong."
"Don't touch me." Lu Linglong shoved Chu Feng away, her voice furious. "Let me ask you, is Chen Wanwan your disciple?"
"It was bad enough with Shen Qianxue before—after all, she was your Dao companion—but now you've gone so far as to not even spare your own disciple. Are you even human?"
Chu Feng understood Lu Linglong’s meaning all too well. If he didn't explain himself today, their relationship would surely be in jeopardy, perhaps even come to an end.
Most importantly, in Lu Linglong’s eyes, a relationship between master and disciple was a grave violation of morality. She couldn’t accept it under any circumstances.
He hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, let me explain."
"Go ahead, I'd like to hear what sort of explanation you have." Lu Linglong snorted coldly.
Hearing that Lu Linglong was willing to listen, Chu Feng felt his anxiety ease a little. He took a deep breath and said, "Junior Sister, would you believe me if I said Chen Wanwan isn't my disciple at all?"
Lu Linglong retorted angrily, "Not your disciple? You brought her back to Lonely Mountain, and now rumors are raging throughout the entire Supreme Profound Dao Sect. There's also someone called Fang Yun—who you apparently castrated!"
Chu Feng replied, "Junior Sister, truly, Chen Wanwan is not my disciple, because I am not qualified to be her master. Chen Wanwan is at the early stage of Soul Transformation, the current Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land. She was gravely injured, pursued by enemies, and only took refuge in our Supreme Profound Dao Sect to recover."
Lu Linglong became even more furious. "Chu Feng, if you’re going to fabricate a story, at least make it believable."
Chu Feng said, "If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you."
Lu Linglong snorted, "Let’s see how you prove it."
Chu Feng's method was simple. He brought Lu Linglong to confront Chen Wanwan directly.
When Chen Wanwan heard Chu Feng’s question, the corners of her lips curled into an evil smile, and she shook her head. "Disciple? No, Immortal Lord, you mustn't believe lies. I'm just an ordinary inner sect disciple who joined a month ago—how could I possibly be the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon?"
"Immortal Lord, you must uphold justice for me. He said he wanted to take me as his disciple—I was ecstatic! Who would have thought he wasn’t sincere at all, but merely lusted after my beauty? When I refused, he forced himself upon me."
"Wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks, as if she had suffered unspeakable grievances—heartbreaking to witness.
Lu Linglong's anger reached its peak. "Chu Feng, what else do you have to explain?"
Only then did Chu Feng realize he had been outmaneuvered by Chen Wanwan.
There was no way to defend himself now.
The trouble was, aside from her true identity, everything else seemed to be true.
And, as Chu Feng stood there, unsure how to explain, Chen Wanwan, now nestled in Lu Linglong's arms and being gently comforted, shot him a strange, mischievous smile.
Chu Feng furrowed his brows, sensing something amiss.
He knew Lu Linglong's character well—aloof, proud, keeping others at a distance. She would never be so attentive to Chen Wanwan just because of a few words.
It reminded him of Shen Qianxue.
The Sacred Body of Beauty—every gesture was naturally enchanting, capable of making all men fall for her, submit, and willingly die for her. And Shen Qianxue hadn’t even fully awakened her sacred body yet; if she had, every man in Supreme Profound Dao Sect, except him, would be at her mercy.
Then he thought of Chen Wanwan’s identity.
Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.
Innately possessed of the Demon Fetus Sacred Body.
He had never been able to see through her before. It was well known that every Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was called a witch, bewitching all beings, men and women alike.
This was her revenge for him forcibly claiming her.
At this point, how could he possibly explain? There was simply no way.
Since he couldn’t explain, he decided not to bother.
Chu Feng waved his hand and closed the door firmly.
Lu Linglong immediately realized something was wrong and admonished, "Chu Feng, what are you doing?"
Chu Feng replied with domineering resolve, "You wanted an explanation? I’ll give you one right now."
"Let go of me, don’t come any closer—we’re not afraid of you," Lu Linglong protested, seemingly realizing what was about to happen. "If you dare harm us, we will not forgive you!"
Very soon, Chu Feng showed no sign of stopping. He unleashed his one hundred and eight divine techniques of Heavenly Gang and Earth Fiend, deploying endless methods, his powerful strength on full display. Facing two opponents, he subdued them both completely.
After half a day, Chu Feng remained full of vigor and confidence, while the two women were thoroughly exhausted.
Originally, Chen Wanwan had not fully recovered, her battle power halved, so neither she nor Lu Linglong could match Chu Feng.
"You're a monster," Lu Linglong cursed.
Chu Feng said, "Now you should believe me."
"And you, Chen Wanwan—you schemed against me. Truly worthy of the title Saintess of the Heavenly Demon."
Earlier, under Chu Feng’s relentless methods, Chen Wanwan had confessed everything.
Lu Linglong was utterly astonished.
Chen Wanwan really was the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon, at the early stage of Soul Transformation.
The Heavenly Demon Sacred Land was a top-tier force in East Wilderness. Of the nine provinces in East Wilderness, Sword Province ranked last. While Supreme Profound Dao Sect was one of Sword Province’s three great factions, it was only a second-rate force in the entirety of East Wilderness—nothing more than an ant compared to the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land.
"Alright, you two take your time chatting. I’ll be off."
He activated the Yin-Yang Great Compassion Sutra, facing two opponents. Chu Feng could clearly feel the benefits he gained had truly doubled.
Combined with the rewards from subduing Chen Wanwan earlier, Chu Feng was eager to fully assimilate them.
Most importantly, the stage now belonged to the two women; though it appeared he had them both, in reality he was beset on all sides.
As the saying goes, two women make a drama.
This time, by conquering Chen Wanwan, the Daughter of Destiny, and turning her into the Fated One, his rewards were substantial.
The Infinite Divine Eye—an immortal-level technique—and a thousand years of cultivation.
Plus two million destiny points.
Just enough to purchase another five hundred characters of the Grand Celestial Formula.
The first five hundred characters cost fifty thousand destiny points.
The next five hundred—two million.
And the following five thousand—a staggering sixty million.
Chu Feng had barely over three million destiny points in total.
As the five hundred characters appeared in his mind, they linked and fused with the previous five hundred, instantly granting him new insights into the Grand Celestial Formula.
His cultivation became twice as effective, and his internal magic grew even more formidable.
