Heading north.
Ling Yuan had already recovered.
When Gu Yuena released her aura earlier, the pressure from her bloodline had been so overwhelming that Ling Yuan couldn't even summon her martial soul.
She was now a Level 92 Title Douluo. Even the Grand Worship couldn't do something like that, could he?
With a bitter tone, she asked:
"Xiao Feng, who exactly are those two seniors? If they're recluses, why would they seek you out? They're too powerful. We'll always be at a disadvantage."
Qian Renxue also frowned:
"The way she sent us away at the end—I still don't understand how she did it. Was it a spatial-type soul skill?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"It is a bit of a disadvantage, but fortunately, they don't seem hostile. In fact, they've given me a lot."
Especially the cold spring essence in his kidney area. Once he condensed his fifth soul vein, it would likely grow in unimaginable ways.
Qian Renxue snorted:
"That senior even asked you to give her a gift in return. Who knows what she wants? Maybe she's after your cultivation method.
Your reputation outside is largely built on that. Be careful, or she might kidnap you and force you to do research day and night."
Then, Qian Renxue suddenly added:
"But her voice sounded quite young. And her tone—ethereal yet elegant, gentle yet seductive. She must be a stunning beauty."
She tilted her head and looked at Lin Feng:
"Xiao Feng, do you think another woman has taken a liking to you? Hmm? Wants to kidnap you and make you her child groom? Heh~"
Qian Renxue's lips curled into a smile, her eyes glancing at Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan pursed her lips:
"Xiao Feng, I still think we need to be cautious. The senior who appeared today is too unfathomable. She felt completely different from the one who accompanied her.
I couldn't sense her power level at all. That's the most terrifying part."
Lin Feng sighed. It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to be cautious or not.
The problem was that the other party could pretty much do whatever they wanted on the Douluo Continent. What could he possibly do to guard against them?
Since they had sought him out, it was better to engage with them early. He had planned to meet them eventually anyway.
Shaking his head, Lin Feng said:
"Not for now. They'll come to us when the time is right and explain everything. As for the gift she wants, I have some ideas."
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow:
"What is it?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"I mentioned it earlier. She forcibly adjusted my soul veins and gave me a source of extreme law for the fifth soul vein that hasn't been added yet.
So, her intention is clear. She already knows the true content of my Innate Soul Evolution Art.
But just the soul veins aren't enough for her. She wants me to go further and give her a bigger surprise."
Ling Yuan gasped:
"She didn't even show herself, just observed from a distance, and she could see the state of your body?"
Lin Feng nodded.
Some guy who practiced martial arts to the extreme could do something similar with his Purple Demon Eyes. If Gu Yuena couldn't do it, that would be strange.
Qian Renxue's expression darkened:
"I don't like this feeling, especially after how she teased me and Xiao Feng earlier.
So what if she's strong? Once I reach her level, I'll make her strip in front of me too, hmph!"
Lin Feng was speechless. He felt that Qian Renxue could only dream of that. The difficulty was too high.
"Where are we going now?"
Qian Renxue asked.
Ling Yuan and Lin Feng exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"To Snow City, near the Frozen Forest."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly:
"Alright. I've heard that place is close to the Extreme North and has unique cultures and soul beasts.
I'd like to see this city that shares my name."
Qian Renxue paused mid-step and glanced back:
"As for those two seniors, if they really mean no harm, we could try to recruit them to our Spirit Hall."
Lin Feng tapped Qian Renxue's forehead:
"Is this your habit of admiring talent regardless of their background again?
If they really wanted to join, they wouldn't need you to ask."
Qian Renxue rubbed her forehead, her beautiful eyes filled with playful annoyance.
"You keep defending her. Admit it, do you have a crush on her?"
Lin Feng glared:
"I haven't even seen her true form. How could I have a crush on her?"
Qian Renxue pouted:
"Who knows? Even though she's probably much older than you, you seem to like older women.
Even I'm a month older than you."
Ling Yuan coughed lightly, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Xue'er, I've noticed you've been quite jealous lately. Why is that?"
Qian Renxue's small fists landed on Lin Feng's shoulders:
"Don't even start! In Spirit City, it's one thing, but even in the soul beast forest, female seniors come looking for you. Your charm is really something!"
"Haha, that's not my fault. They came looking for me."
"Heh~"
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes, looking at Lin Feng's smug expression, and inwardly scoffed.
She touched her storage soul tool. Good, she had brought enough.
To hell with the deep river! She was going to take the first bite in the city that shared her name!
Her lips curled into a smile. Over the years, Lin Feng and she had consumed a lot of whale glue, and they had built up some resistance.
But Qian Renxue's approach to this matter was pure.
If things were already like this, why not go all the way?
Increase the dosage! Xiao Feng won't be able to handle it!
Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled with amusement. Recently, as Lin Feng grew, it seemed his temper was easily ignited, and little Xiao Feng was becoming more and more intimidating.
Upon arriving in Snow City, the trio first headed to a hotel to arrange their accommodations.
Along the way, the scenery was undeniably beautiful.
As spirit masters, they didn't need thick clothing, traveling light.
"The northern scenery, a thousand miles of ice, ten thousand miles of snow."
Lin Feng couldn't help but marvel at the sight of Snow City.
The pure white snow sparkled under the sunlight, and the biting wind carried a unique freshness and tranquility.
On the streets, people hurried by, but there were also couples strolling leisurely in the snow and children playing.
Walking along the main street, Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Xiao Feng, Sister Ling Yuan, let's stay here."
Lin Feng followed Qian Renxue's finger and his mouth twitched.
The exterior was decorated in pink, with a huge rose as the brand logo.
Four golden characters stood prominently on the building:
"Rose Hotel."
What was this? The hotel of fate? It seemed to be a chain across the continent...
This slightly intoxicating, suggestive place. He wondered if the soundproofing was any good...
The receptionist, seeing Lin Feng and the others approach, smiled:
"Are you here to stay? How many rooms would you like? I'm sorry, but today—"
"One room!"
Before the receptionist could finish, Qian Renxue cut in.
The receptionist's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he nodded slightly at Lin Feng.
After paying with gold soul coins, he handed over the key:
"Here's your room key. Please keep it safe."
The trio didn't head straight to their room but sat in the lobby.
Outside the lobby was the beautiful snowscape, which they couldn't help but admire.
"I heard Snow City has a specialty called 'Snow Brew,' a wine made from snow water. It's said to have a rich flavor and a fragrant aroma," Lin Feng explained to Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan.
"Then we must try it," Qian Renxue said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
They ordered a few bottles of "Snow Brew" and sat in the lobby, enjoying the wine and the snowscape outside.
"The 'Snow Brew' truly lives up to its reputation. Smooth on the palate with a long aftertaste," Lin Feng praised.
"Yes, I like it too," Qian Renxue agreed, her cheeks already showing a faint blush. She glanced at Ling Yuan, giving her a meaningful look.
Ling Yuan understood instantly and nodded helplessly.
"Xiao Feng, I can't drink anymore. You finish it."
Qian Renxue extended her arm, placing the glass in front of Lin Feng.
Such a familiar scene. How many times had this happened? Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
Knowing there was a trap, should he avoid it?
Avoid it? Hell no! Lin Feng took the glass from Qian Renxue and said softly:
"The wine is good. I wonder if the aftertaste can be even longer. I'll savor it properly."
