"Arrogant! Completely ignorant of his own limits!"
Hearing Lin Feng's tone, Gu Xun'er was instantly fuming with anger. Not only she, but even the two Gu Clan experts standing behind her frowned slightly, their impression of Lin Feng sinking even lower.
"There's no need to waste breath arguing with him. Let's go and get Xiao Yan out first," said Xuan Kongzi as he stepped forward.
"Senior Xuan Kongzi is right," Gu Xun'er nodded softly after a moment's thought.
Thinking of Xiao Yan still suffering in the confinement chamber, she quickly composed herself, and the group turned to leave the hall.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, after leaving the Grand Elder Council, flew straight toward the outer area of the Small Pill Tower.
After all, with the large number of eighth-tier pills he'd just obtained, he could finally move forward with several of his plans—there was no point lingering here any longer.
However, recalling how Dan Chen had shyly run off earlier, and that she probably didn't know he was about to leave the Small Pill Tower, Lin Feng hesitated briefly before changing direction and flying toward her residence.
Knock knock~
Not long after, he landed in front of a small wooden house and gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A soft, feminine voice came from inside. The door slowly opened, revealing a delicate and stunning face.
"Brother Lin Feng."
The moment she saw him, Dan Chen's pretty face lit up with joy.
But then, remembering the shy incident from earlier, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly turned and scurried back inside—leaving the door still open behind her.
"This girl really is too pure," Lin Feng said with a small laugh, shaking his head.
He stepped into the room and quietly closed the door behind him.
"Little Chen'er, I'll be leaving the Small Pill Tower soon. It might be a while before I come back."
Entering her bedroom, Lin Feng looked toward the pink bed where Dan Chen lay face-down, her head buried under the blanket, and spoke gently.
At his words, Dan Chen's head immediately popped out from under the covers. She turned to look at him, her lips pouting slightly. "You just got back to the Small Pill Tower, and now you're leaving again?"
"No choice—I still have some things to take care of."
Lin Feng sat down on the edge of her soft bed and gently stroked her silky light-blue hair.
"Then come back soon, alright? It's so boring here by myself."
Dan Chen closed her eyes, quietly enjoying his touch as she murmured her complaint.
During the time they had spent together, she had slowly grown used to his presence. Now that he was leaving again, the thought of being alone made her feel empty and restless.
"No problem," Lin Feng said softly as he continued to caress her hair. Then he chuckled. "I'll bring you a gift when I return."
The moment she heard the word gift, Dan Chen's blue eyes sparkled with delight. She nodded eagerly. "You better keep your word."
"Haha, even if I forget everything else, I wouldn't dare forget that," Lin Feng replied with a grin.
"Mhm."
Dan Chen nodded, but then as if remembering something, she gently brushed her hand over her storage ring. A faint light flashed, and three golden orbs, each the size of a fist, appeared in her palm.
"Here, take these. They're gold-attribute magic cores I got from my family not long ago."
As she spoke, she pressed the three Rank 8 golden magic cores into Lin Feng's hands.
"Heh, my sweet little Chen'er is still the most thoughtful. You even knew I needed gold-attribute magic cores to train my Dou Technique."
Although the ones Feng'er had given him earlier were already enough for his current cultivation needs, her considerate gesture still warmed his heart.
"Wh-who's your 'little Chen'er'..."
Catching the subtle implication in his words, Dan Chen's face instantly turned crimson as she stammered in protest.
"Alright, not right now."
Lin Feng chuckled as he slipped the magic cores into his storage ring, brushing her off casually.
"Not right now? Hmph! Brother Lin Feng, you're such a big meanie!"
After teasing Dan Chen for a bit longer, Lin Feng finally set off again, flying toward the outer edge of the Small Pill Tower.
Passing through a short spatial corridor, he soon returned to the main world. Without stopping for rest, he immediately headed toward the Ye Courtyard.
When he arrived, he saw Feng Qing'er, Xiao Yixian, and Ye Xin Lan gathered around a wooden table in the courtyard, staring intently at a transparent jade bottle placed on top of it.
Though he didn't approach right away, with his keen experience, he instantly recognized what it was—an Mighty Huang Pill.
"What are you three doing crowding around that pill?"
Lin Feng grinned as he called out.
"Welcome back, husband!"
The three women turned at the sound of his voice, and upon seeing him, their faces lit up with smiles. Immediately, they ignored the pill on the table and hurried over to his side.
"It's just a sixth-tier pill. We've got plenty of those now—no need to fuss over one."
Lin Feng playfully pinched their soft cheeks as he teased.
"That pill was made by me," Ye Xin Lan said proudly, straightening her back.
"Oh? Not bad at all." Lin Feng raised a brow in surprise. "Xin Lan, you're not even nineteen yet, and you've already refined a peak sixth-tier pill like the Mighty Huang Pill."
He was genuinely impressed.
At this pace, by the time the Alchemist Meet began, there was a real chance she could reach the seventh-tier level. Of course, with his guidance, Ye Xin Lan was bound to become a seventh-tier alchemist before the competition started.
"Husband, did you handle that matter?"
Xiao Yixian asked softly, stepping forward as the topic turned serious. At her words, the other two women fell silent, their beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Feng.
"Yeah, it's settled," Lin Feng nodded. "Everything we took from Xiao Yan belongs to us now, and that Gu Xun'er even offered to compensate us with a Heaven Class cultivation technique."
He then went on to recount what had happened during the meeting.
"That wretch! That Gu Xun'er and those three old fools from the Pill Tower are simply outrageous!"
After hearing the story, Feng Qing'er bit down on her silver teeth in fury, cursing angrily. Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan both frowned deeply, clearly displeased as well.
"It's fine. They won't dare make any moves here anyway. But we'll have to stay alert from now on. Judging by Gu Xun'er's expression, she definitely won't let this go easily," Lin Feng said calmly, reassuring them while giving a reminder.
"Mhm."
The three women nodded in agreement, and Ye Xin Lan added, "But compared to us, husband, you're the one in greater danger. You must be extra careful."
Lin Feng nodded slightly, showing that he understood, then turned to Feng Qing'er.
"During the whole discussion, they didn't mention you at all. I think they've already figured out our relationship. If I'm not mistaken, Gu Xun'er will probably spread word of it soon—to stir up more trouble for us."
