In that instant, Chen Feng felt a sharp pinch on his waist.
The icy pain almost made him forget to breathe.
A pair of delicate jade - like hands, without a trace of tenderness, grabbed the most vulnerable part of him.
It almost made him suck in a breath of cold air in pain, but he managed to hold it back.
Zhu Zhuqing's voice carried a hint of playfulness:
"How do you know that?
"I saw you touching Meng Yiran earlier. You seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.
"Have you touched me too?"
Zhu Zhuqing's question was definitely a devilish one.
Chen Feng was instantly left in an awkward situation.
Answering either "yes" or "no" didn't seem quite right.
His gaze fled from Zhu Zhuqing's sharp eyes and turned towards the sky, trying to find a way out in this endless expanse of blue.
Almost instinctively, a bitter smile curved his lips: "The weather is nice today, huh."
However, Zhu Zhuqing's next words took Chen Feng by surprise.
"Thanks to you, Brother Chen Feng, today.
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I couldn't have dealt with that Phoenix - Tailed Cockscomb Snake."
Hearing this, Chen Feng let out a slight sigh of relief, but his confusion grew deeper. Hmm?
What did this girl mean?
Could it be that she was going to give me some kind of reward?
This train of thought made Chen Feng recall the pinch he had just received. If the so - called "reward" was in the form of pinching the soft flesh around the waist, he'd rather decline.
After all, he didn't want to experience that kind of painful "gift" again.
Just as Chen Feng's mind was filled with thoughts, a faint smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face:
"So, to thank you, Brother Xiaofeng, Zhuqing is going to..."
Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish, the suspended words had already sparked infinite imagination in Chen Feng's mind.
His heart couldn't help but start to beat faster.
What was she going to do?
Could there really be a little reward?
Thinking of this, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.
Seeing this, a mischievous glint flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she continued, "You must be so tired, Brother Chen Feng.
Zhuqing is going to give you a massage."
"Now?"
Chen Feng blurted out involuntarily.
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled and shook her head:
"Of course not now. Zhuqing needs to make some preparations."
Zhu Zhuqing's words made Chen Feng look forward to it.
What kind of massage would it be?
A simple shoulder and neck massage, or a more in - depth full - body relaxation?
Would it be a pure one, or... something more?
Hehe.
In the vast Star Dou Great Forest, on a quiet clearing in the forest, Granny Snake and Meng Yiran unexpectedly met Grandpa Dragon.
"Old man, when catching a soul beast for our granddaughter this time, I was really terrified."
Granny Snake's voice carried a sense of helplessness and bitterness as she gently stroked Meng Yiran's soft hair.
Grandpa Dragon stood under a huge old tree, and his figure looked particularly tall.
Hearing Granny Snake's words, he showed an incredulous expression, unable to hide his surprise:
"It can't be. You're over level 60, old woman. Even if you encounter a ten - thousand - year soul beast, there's nothing to be afraid of."
[Ding, it is detected that Grandpa Dragon has a surprised emotion, and the emotion value + 100]
Granny Snake took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and her tone was full of helplessness:
"What bad luck. This time when we came out, we met Zhao Wuji, the Immovable King of Light."
Hearing this name, Grandpa Dragon's brows furrowed, and his expression became serious.
"He's a tough one. It's said that he's over level 70 now. He's really hard to deal with."
Granny Snake's tone carried a hint of helplessness:
"What's even more annoying is that Zhao Wuji's disciples are not very old."
"They're only twelve or thirteen years old, and quite a few of them are already around level 30."
Grandpa Dragon's brows were tightly knitted, and the expression on his face was complex and heavy.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said:
"Level 30? Our granddaughter has just reached level 30."
"Are these kids really that monstrous?"
[Ding, it is detected that Grandpa Dragon has a shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 150]
Granny Snake let out a soft sigh, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of powerlessness:
"Old man, among them, there's one who is the most monstrous. Guess what's so amazing about his soul ring?"
Grandpa Dragon was startled and couldn't help but guess, "Does he have three soul rings? Is he level 33?"
"I'll shock you when I tell you. He looks only twelve or thirteen years old, but he actually has a ten - thousand - year soul ring."
"A ten - thousand - year soul ring!? It can't be. I remember you only have one black soul ring, old woman." Grandpa Dragon's reaction was almost instinctively shocked, and his body trembled slightly.
[Ding, it is detected that Grandpa Dragon has a very shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 200]
"Do you think I could be wrong? It was definitely a ten - thousand - year soul ring. I can't even believe it myself when I say it." Granny Snake let out a deep sigh, her tone filled with helplessness.
After a moment, Granny Snake's voice sounded again, seemingly with a slight tremor,
"What's even more terrifying is that Yiran also lost in the hidden - weapon competition."
Grandpa Dragon's eyes widened instantly, and the look of surprise seemed to leap right out of his eyes.
His voice carried a hint of shock: "She also lost?"
Could it be true?
Meng Yiran's hidden - weapon skills had always been outstanding in their eyes.
How could she lose to others?
[Ding, it is detected that Grandpa Dragon has a shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 150]
"Did this kid use some hidden weapon with extremely great power? If so, it would be understandable for Yiran to lose."
Grandpa Dragon tried to find a reasonable explanation for Meng Yiran.
However, Granny Snake's answer was like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in Grandpa Dragon's heart:
"No, the hidden weapons Chen Feng used didn't have great power."
"On the contrary, their power was extremely small. They were just the most ordinary leaves."
Grandpa Dragon was stunned again!
His mouth opened wide, and for a moment, he couldn't say a word.
In his world, hidden weapons were extremely sharp or extremely venomous items.
He couldn't imagine that even the most ordinary leaves could become deadly hidden weapons.
He turned his head and looked at Meng Yiran with a complex expression, as if trying to find the answer from her reaction,
"Girl, is what your grandma said true?"
Meng Yiran gently bit her lower lip, a complex emotion flashed across her face, and then she nodded hesitantly.
It was actually true!
This was simply incredible.
[Ding, it is detected that Grandpa Dragon has a shocked emotion, and the emotion value + 200]
"Old woman, for such a talented young man, did you introduce him to Yiran?"
Grandpa Dragon slapped his head, suddenly realizing a key point he had overlooked. It seemed that his granddaughter was single.
"No way!"
Meng Yiran's voice suddenly joined in, in a hurry and a bit flustered.
"Why not?"
Grandpa Dragon asked in confusion.
Because...
Meng Yiran's face turned red instantly. How could she be embarrassed to say something so hard to talk about?
"Anyway, it's not possible!"
Her tone was more determined.
"Yiran, it's not that grandma wants to criticize you. You made a bet with Chen Feng before, saying that if he won, he could take away the Phoenix - Tailed Cockscomb Snake.
"And you, clearly he showed mercy to you, yet you were still unrelenting.
"You even took advantage of the fact that he kindly brought you clothes and tried to trip him with a sweep kick.
"If Chen Feng wasn't careful and was hit by you, he would have lost face in public."
Granny Snake said slowly.
"Grandma, that's because..." Meng Yiran was anxious, but the words just wouldn't come out of her mouth.
After all, it was she who didn't abide by the agreement, insisted on being unreasonable, and violated the code of the martial arts world.
That's why Chen Feng had seen her body.
Bah, bah, bah. Stinky Chen Feng, bad Chen Feng!
He even touched that part of me.
Thinking of this, Meng Yiran was filled with shame and anger.
