Chapter 039 She Likes Herself

Yue Hongling's figure moved.

But then she stopped again, as she was quite clear that Feng Wuxie couldn't possibly have only these tricks up his sleeve.

Sure enough, another change occurred.

Just as the Divine Cao Hong's large hand was about to grasp Feng Wuxie's neck, Feng Wuxie's entire body turned into flames.

The flames were intangible, and Cao Hong's hand passed through them, grabbing nothing.

The flames took on an embracing posture, wrapping around Cao Hong in an instant. A whirlwind rose, the wind fueling the fire and the fire borrowing the wind's power. The golden-red flames turned into a fiery whirlwind, fiercely burning Cao Hong.

"Get away!"

Cao Hong roared.

"Boom!"

White light spread out, and the fiery whirlwind exploded, scattering everywhere.

The flames suddenly condensed, reforming into a firebird.

Cao Hong's body was charred black, his face twisted in pain. With anger in his eyes, he pointed at Feng Wuxie and shouted.

"Divine Restriction!"

In an instant, white chains appeared on Feng Wuxie's body. There were dozens of them, giving him no chance to evade as they locked onto him. The chains also carried a suppressing force.

Feng Wuxie let out a mournful cry, struggling with all his might.

But the white chains broke and reconnected, reconnected and broke. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

Cao Hong walked over and punched Feng Wuxie in the face.

Bang!

Cao Hong struck left and right.

To tame a highly intelligent mount, the first thing to do was to instill fear in it. Only by deeply embedding the seed of fear and conducting numerous obedience tests could the mount be considered fully trained.

Yue Hongling watched this scene, shaking her head slightly.

In the midst of the battle just now, Feng Wuxie still had more lethal techniques at his disposal, yet he didn't use them.

What a waste...

But it didn't matter. As long as she was strong, it was acceptable for Feng Wuxie to be a bit of a waste.

In her previous life, wasn't it her senior brother who was strong while she was weak?

And she had been quite happy.

Her figure descended from the sky, charging towards Cao Hong.

Cao Hong suddenly looked up, seeing Yue Hongling, and a thought arose in his mind.

A beautiful woman, unfamiliar, coming with ill intentions—she could be killed!

Holy light appeared in his hand, twisting and condensing, as he slapped his palm towards Yue Hongling.

"Fearless Seal!"

The Fearless Seal is not just a single move, but a set of seals, comprising eighty-one unique marks, each with its own distinct effect.

As Yue Hongling grows stronger, she can utilize more seals, and her explosive power increases accordingly.

Boom!

A tremendous roar echoed.

The white light sphere was forcibly shattered by the seal, and with an unstoppable force, it smashed into Cao Hong's face.

Thud!

Cao Hong's face was smashed open, and his body was sent sliding dozens of meters across the ground, shattering a rock into pieces.

"What a hard head."

Yue Hongling praised, gripping the seal and charging forward again.

"Why would a Human save a Demon?" Cao Hong roared, pulling out a large shield, struggling to withstand Yue Hongling's repeated strikes.

Feng Wuxie watched Yue Hongling's back, his eyes red.

She came to save him.

As expected, she likes him!

She must like him, otherwise, why would a strong Human like her, with such power, follow a weak Demon like him.

If she didn't like him, why would she keep following him?

"Because I like him!" Yue Hongling replied, smashing Cao Hong away once more.

Cao Hong coughed up blood profusely, fear appearing in his eyes.

Too strong, this woman is too strong.

A small seal, yet it felt like a mountain crashing down.

"You want to refine him into a mount too, right? I'll give him to you, we have no enmity, let me leave."

Feng Wuxie's smile faltered slightly, a mount...

She wants to make him a mount?

Yue Hongling chuckled lightly, neither refuting nor wasting words.

She charged forward with the seal again.

"You're fucking insane!"

Cao Hong roared, utterly unable to comprehend what was wrong with this woman.

He vomited blood in large amounts, his internal organs shattered.

Three more seals, and his body was literally smashed apart.

After dealing with Cao Hong, Yue Hongling turned to Feng Wuxie.

"Are you okay?"

The words "mount" flashed through Feng Wuxie's mind. Did she also want to tame him as a mount?

"I... I'm fine."

"If you're fine, then I'll take my leave. Goodbye."

Yue Hongling prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Feng Wuxie called out to Yue Hongling.

"Hmm?"

Feng Wuxie took a deep breath. He had already sensed something very wrong.

Because the strength Yue Hongling was displaying now, along with her formidable reputation, was inconsistent with the power she had shown when they were in peril together.

In other words, back then, when they were being pursued, Yue Hongling had deliberately allowed herself to be chased, deliberately encountered him.

"Why did you save me? What exactly is your purpose?" Feng Wuxie asked loudly.

It was undeniable that he now liked Yue Hongling. Only because he liked her would he keep believing that Yue Hongling liked him.

Yue Hongling paused upon hearing this question.

She stared straight at Feng Wuxie. At this moment, she clearly saw the anticipation in his eyes.

He was hoping she would say she liked him.

Yue Hongling's brows furrowed slightly. She did indeed like Feng Wuxie, but she felt it wasn't the right time to confirm their relationship.

The past palpitations hadn't resurfaced.

If those past palpitations had returned, she might have thrown caution to the wind and accompanied Feng Wuxie through thick and thin.

But now...

"Because I think you're quite amusing."

Yue Hongling tossed out this sentence and then took off into the air.

Think I'm quite amusing?

Feng Wuxie was stunned. What kind of answer was that?

But this "amusing"...

Feng Wuxie slowly began to process it. His eyes widened bit by bit. Amusing, wasn't that a precursor to liking someone?

A woman of such unparalleled grace and beauty had actually developed feelings for him!

Feng Wuxie's heart began to race, his handsome face turning red and hot.

He clutched his chest.

A surge of emotion was brewing in his chest.

"By the way, here's a little something for you. Contact me if anything comes up."

Yue Hongling returned and tossed a conch-like artifact to Feng Wuxie.

"Speak into the conch, and I'll hear you from the other one."

After throwing the item, Yue Hongling was about to leave again.

"Wait!"

Feng Wuxie called her back.

Yue Hongling???

"Um, can I come with you?" Feng Wuxie asked.

This ancient battlefield of prodigies was far too dangerous. Since Yue Hongling was so strong, wouldn't it be better to follow her? Even if he only used the treasures she didn't need, it would be enough for his cultivation.

Yue Hongling frowned.

"No! The ancient battlefield of prodigies is for training, not for you to reap the benefits without effort. Goodbye!"

Yue Hongling decisively left.

Feng Wuxie...

Reaping the benefits without effort, indeed.

Feng Wuxie clenched his teeth. He must cultivate diligently so that when Yue Hongling sees him again, her eyes will widen in surprise!
