At this moment, Xiao Feng was unaware that the overly stressed Nalan Yanran had decided to throw caution to the wind, vengefully planning to drain him dry—not a single drop left!
Of course, even if Xiao Feng knew, he wouldn't care. With his freakish recovery ability, even if Nalan Yanran exhausted herself to death, she wouldn't be able to drain him.
A plowing ox might collapse from exhaustion, but a mighty earth dragon could flip the entire field with a single roll.
[Holy shit! This brat really knows how to play! He actually conquered Yun Yun and even got her to bear him a daughter? Does that mean I have two granddaughters now?!]
Upon learning that Yun Yun had become his daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhan, who had previously despised the Yunlan Sect, suddenly found it much more agreeable.
[What an adorable little treasure! Truly worthy of being my granddaughter.]
Gazing at Xiao Yun, cradled in Yun Yun's arms like a delicate porcelain doll, Xiao Zhan felt his heart melt. His doting grandfather syndrome flared up again.
With the conclusion of the three-year agreement, Xiao Feng's name once again resounded throughout the Jia Ma Empire.
The tale of a poor boy humiliated by a wealthy beauty's public annulment, only to rise through his own efforts and reclaim his pride, was already the stuff of legend.
And yet, Xiao Feng's methods were even more outrageous—he straight-up seduced the very backer that the wealthy beauty relied on the most.
…
The night was as serene as water, the mist as light as gauze.
"Splash…"
In the hot spring pool at the back of Yunlan Mountain, Nalan Yanran, clad only in a bath towel, knelt by the edge, her face flushed with shyness as she massaged Xiao Feng's shoulders.
"Plop!"
Xiao Feng suddenly grabbed her slender wrist and yanked her into the steamy spring.
"You dared to annul the engagement?! You dared?! You dared?!"
Under Xiao Feng's relentless "guidance," Nalan Yanran quickly realized her mistakes, tearfully begging for mercy.
Only after several hours did Xiao Feng finally relent, leaving Nalan Yanran half-dead.
To prevent her from bleeding out, Xiao Feng injected a trace of Demon King's blood into her, transforming her into a ghost with formidable regenerative abilities.
Perhaps due to the sheer terror of being "educated" by Xiao Feng, Nalan Yanran awakened a Blood Demon Art: [Beast Clone Division].
Using this technique, she could split into three beast-like clones: a Catgirl, a Wolfgirl, and an Eagle-girl.
These clones resembled Nalan Yanran but bore additional beastly traits.
For instance, the agile Catgirl clone had cat ears, a tail, and even paws for hands and feet.
With the three clones sharing the burden, Nalan Yanran could barely withstand Xiao Feng's "lessons."
After she collapsed into exhausted slumber, Xiao Feng smirked mischievously and used his finger to write bloody characters on her abdomen:
"Xiao Feng's Exclusive Lane."
Having vented his anger, Xiao Feng vanished in a blur, reappearing in the secluded valley where Yun Shan had been in seclusion.
At that moment, the Protector was coercing Yun Shan, urging him to exploit Yun Yun's relationship with Xiao Feng to obtain the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade fragment from the Xiao family.
Just as Yun Shan was about to agree, Xiao Feng materialized before them and forcibly converted them into demons.
Though Yun Shan was Yun Yun's mentor, his personality had warped after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm with the Soul Palace's help. He had grown arrogant and ruthless, willing to do anything for power.
Thus, Xiao Feng saw no need for words—it was simpler to control Yun Shan with Demon King's blood and prevent him from aiding the Soul Palace in evil deeds.
As for the Protector, Xiao Feng decided to keep him as a mole, feeding the Soul Palace only the information Xiao Feng wanted them to know.
…
Several days later, in the Yunlan Sect's master quarters.
"Pop!"
The moment Xiao Feng parted from Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran knelt before him.
For Yun Yun, now at the second transformation of peak two-star Dou Venerate, the energy in Xiao Feng's "soy milk" was negligible.
But for a weakling like Nalan Yanran, it was a supreme tonic—beautifying, rejuvenating, and cultivation-boosting.
After several days of "soy milk" consumption, her strength skyrocketed from a seven-star Great Dou Master to a three-star Dou Huang!
"Hm?"
Xiao Feng's brows suddenly furrowed. He fed her all his remaining reserves, then turned to Yun Yun.
"Yun'er, I just remembered urgent business. You and Yanran have fun—I'll take my leave!"
With that, he vanished, leaving the master-disciple pair staring at each other in bewilderment.
The reason for his abrupt departure? The [God's Lobby] had sent him a message—the coordinates for the first instance world had been located!
Upon entering the God's Lobby, Xiao Feng used the orb to examine the world's details.
According to its scans, the world corresponded to "Joy of Life."
Though Xiao Feng could use the orb's power to manifest there directly, preparations were necessary.
In a way, the God's Lobby's recruits were akin to extraterrestrial demons, easily drawing the world's hostility.
At his current two-star Dou Saint level, if Xiao Feng descended into "Joy of Life," the world's consciousness would instantly detect the anomaly and expel him.
If "Joy of Life" was a pond, its four Great Grandmasters were the largest grass carp in it.
Xiao Feng, a hundred-meter-long whale, suddenly leaping in and trying to pose as a grass carp? That would be an insult to the pond owner's intelligence.
Thus, to enter that world, Xiao Feng had to seal his cultivation, capping it below the original Grandmaster level.
The weaker he was, the harder he'd be to detect, allowing him to stay longer.
According to the orb's calculations, if Xiao Feng entered as a Grandmaster, he could remain hidden for about half a month before the world noticed.
After all, with only four Grandmasters in the original story, a fifth appearing out of nowhere would raise immediate red flags.
