**
It was obvious that those people had recognized Lin Feng's identity. As for those old fellows, they were all quite curious to see how the Grand Elder Hall planned to handle this matter.
"Whoosh~"
Not long after, Lin Feng descended in front of his residence.
However, the moment he landed, he sensed a familiar aura coming from within his room. Thinking of that little girl, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips.
Creak~
Immediately after, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.
"Who?"
Hearing the sound of the wooden door opening, a young girl who had been focused on her embroidery hurriedly put away what she was holding, then raised her head. Her expression made it clear she didn't want anyone to see what she had been working on.
"Brother Lin Feng!"
When she saw who it was, the slightly pale face of the girl instantly lit up with joy. Then, in a single leap, she threw herself straight into Lin Feng's arms.
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned by her sudden action. But instinctively, his hands supported the girl's perky, well-developed hips.
"Brother Lin Feng, are you alright? When I heard you were ambushed, I was so worried! If the Ancestor hadn't told me you were fine and stopped me from going out, I'd have gone looking for you long ago!"
Nestled in his embrace, Dan Chen lifted her bright, watery eyes, her voice full of genuine concern.
During Lin Feng's time in the Pill Tower, he had displayed all sorts of extraordinary means. This pure, innocent girl had long since regarded him as the most important person in her life besides her brother.
So when she heard that Lin Feng had been ambushed, she had been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Lin Feng chuckled softly. He gently pinched her tender cheek, comforting her.
"Brother Lin Feng, really, you should take more strong people with you when you go out. If not, I'll tell the Ancestor to send some experts to protect you. If something like this happens again, I won't be able to take it!"
Now that she had confirmed he was fine, Dan Chen began scolding him with an adorable pout.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Chen'er."
Seeing her worried look, Lin Feng smiled and rubbed her little head.
Creak~
Just as he finished speaking and before Dan Chen could say anything else, the wooden door opened again.
A group of excited people came walking in. "Lin Feng, finally! You're back! Did you bring the puppet—"
But before they could finish their words, the group froze mid-sentence. Because right in front of them, Lin Feng's hands were resting on Dan Chen's hips, and the two were hugging each other tightly in an obviously intimate posture.
The entire room fell into silence.
"Sorry to interrupt. We'll come back tomorrow. You two, uh, carry on."
The group quickly changed tone, and began backing out of the room one after another. One of them even thoughtfully reached out, intending to close the door for them.
Dan Chen was stunned by their reaction for a moment. But when she suddenly realized how intimate her position with Lin Feng looked, her pretty face flushed scarlet in an instant.
She hastily jumped out of Lin Feng's embrace and waved her hands toward the group of Pill Tower members. "Wait, everyone! It's not what you think between Brother Lin Feng and me!"
"We understand, we understand. Don't worry, girl, we won't tell your Ancestor a thing."
Hearing that, the group smiled knowingly, each nodding with a look that clearly said "we get it." Of course, in their minds, they were already thinking about who they would share this juicy bit of gossip with first.
As for old man Dan himself, well, they'd definitely have to visit him. After all, who wouldn't want to see his reaction when he found out that his clan's number-one prodigy had been "taken" by Lin Feng?
"You guys... you guys—! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Seeing that no one believed a single word she said, Dan Chen didn't know what else to do—so she simply turned around and flew straight out the window.
"Chen'er..."
Seeing her run off, Lin Feng instinctively called out.
However, there was no chance of stopping her now. Her figure quickly disappeared into the distant sky.
"Hehe, Lin Feng, you've really got skills! You've only been here two months, and you already managed to get your hands on one of the two goddesses of the Small Pill Tower! If those brats in the tower find out, they'll probably die of envy!"
As soon as Dan Chen was gone, the group of Small Pill Tower experts swarmed up to Lin Feng, all talking at once, excited and teasing. From their looks, anyone who didn't know better might have thought they had just refined a ninth-tier pill.
"Sigh~"
Looking at the crowd of overly excited old men before him, Lin Feng couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.
Then, regaining his composure, he chuckled softly and said, "I thought after offending Yao Zun Zhe's disciples, none of you would dare come around anymore. Looks like I was overthinking it."
"Tch."
One of them curled his lip and replied, "Our alchemy skills might not match up to that old Yao Chen or the Three Leaders, but we're not afraid of them either.
What's there to fear? Besides, that guy's actions have already crossed the line of what the Small Pill Tower can tolerate. Who knows how many days he's got left to live."
"Exactly. If it weren't for Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi running around trying to smooth things over, that brat would've been dragged out and chopped long ago. Anyway, judging from that grin on your face, you must've got those puppets ready. Come on, take them out, let's have a look."
"Yeah, forget the gossip, let's see the puppets! This time I want two of them! Ever since I saw those bastards using silver puppets to absorb pill lightning, and their strength suddenly shot up to Two-Star, even Three-Star Dou Zun level, I've been drooling over them!"
Two-Star or Three-Star Dou Zun might not mean much to the top powerhouses of the Small Pill Tower, but those puppets being able to leap across so many levels in mere moments—that was something else entirely.
After all, an ordinary person might need decades, even centuries, to advance from Dou Zong to Two- or Three-Star Dou Zun. But these puppets? They could just take on a five-colored Pill Lightning and instantly reach that level.
Such speed was unheard of.
"Alright, alright, let's go outside first. This wooden cabin's too small. With all of us squeezed in here, there's no way to even set the puppets out properly."
Lin Feng looked at the cramped, overcrowded cabin and said helplessly.
Hearing that, the others finally realized the same problem.
"Whoosh~"
With a series of faint whooshing sounds, the group that had filled the room disappeared in an instant, reappearing outside the cabin.
Lin Feng followed right after, stepping out into the open area. However, once he got outside, he noticed that there were already quite a few other experts gathered in the clearing nearby.
Adding everyone together, the total number of people here was no less than twenty.
"Looks like Cao Ying didn't lie to me. These puppets really are popular in the Small Pill Tower."
Seeing this, Lin Feng clasped his hands politely toward the crowd, then lightly brushed his storage ring.
With a flash of light, twenty-seven silver Earth Demon Puppets and four golden Sky Demon Puppets appeared before everyone's eyes. These were the fruits of Lin Feng's half a month of hard work.
The bodies used to create those four Sky Demon Puppets belonged respectively to the Golden Body Sect Master, Ouyang Jie, Feng Zun Zhe, and the nameless Five-Star Dou Zun that Ouyang Jie had invited.
Of course, it was fortunate that during the refining process, the Sky Demon Puppets had to be burned by flame and tempered in molten metal solution. After refinement, their appearance and physique were completely different from before.
Otherwise, Lin Feng definitely wouldn't have dared to use Feng Zun Zhe's body as a puppet.
