Facing Qian Renxue's inquiry, Ye Feng looked at her with a strange expression and said, "I don't think you're a suitable investment for me. You're too vengeful. If you become stronger, you'll definitely seek revenge on me."
Qian Renxue: "..."
"Hey! How can you go back on your word like this? That's too much!!"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately became furious! Earlier, it was Ye Feng who had beaten her up, threatened her, and forced her to accept his "investment."
And now he was outright reneging on his promise!
How shameless! "Alright, alright, I was just joking. I won't go back on what I promised earlier, but it's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I'll find you," Ye Feng said, waving his hand dismissively.
Qian Renxue was already incredibly strong, and to significantly boost her combat power, Lexical Traits below the red tier would have little effect. At least a red-tier or higher Lexical Trait would be needed.
But Ye Feng also wanted red-tier or higher Lexical Traits for himself, so he naturally couldn't afford to spend one on Qian Renxue.
The incident with Dugu Bo had been purely accidental. Ye Feng had only intended to draw a blue or green-tier Lexical Trait to help Dugu Bo resolve his Poison backlash issue, but unexpectedly, he had drawn a red-tier Lexical Trait instead. Not only did it solve Dugu Bo's problem, but it also drastically increased his strength.
However, since Dugu Bo was somewhat of an ally, Ye Feng, though speechless, didn't hoard the Lexical Trait for himself.
So Ye Feng decided to save up some luck first, draw a few Lexical Traits for himself, keep the useful red-tier or higher ones, and then give the useless ones to Qian Renxue.
For now, he really couldn't produce anything, so he couldn't "invest" in her.
"Hmph, you'd better keep your word…" Qian Renxue pouted.
She had been seen and touched by Ye Feng, suffering significant losses.
So she absolutely had to make up for it from Ye Feng! She needed an investment, a big one!
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to the academy now. Don't forget to handle the matters at Moon Pavilion," Ye Feng said, waving his hand as he turned to leave.
"That guy…"
Qian Renxue stared at Ye Feng's retreating figure, gritting her teeth.
Although Ye Feng was very young, she no longer saw him as a child.
What kind of child was this lecherous…
"Just wait. When I become stronger, I'll definitely surpass you, and then I'll spank you hard!! Make you call me Master every day!"
Qian Renxue clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with determination! She swore that once she became a god, she would take her revenge and conquer Ye Feng! Although Ye Feng was strong, he was still within the realm of a Soul Master.
Once she received Ye Feng's investment, her path to godhood would become much easier, and the difficulty would be greatly reduced. Once she became a god, she would be invincible. No matter how strong Ye Feng was, he couldn't possibly be her match! The gap between a god and a non-god was as vast as the difference between an ordinary person and a Titled Douluo! No Soul Skill could bridge that gap!
Although she thought this way, even Qian Renxue herself didn't realize that she had already been conquered by Ye Feng's strength and charm…
Her attitude toward Ye Feng had undergone a significant change.
She just hadn't realized it yet.
...
...
...
Qian Renxue returned to continue her role as "His Highness the Crown Prince."
The events at Moon Pavilion couldn't be kept secret and quickly spread among the upper echelons, causing quite a stir.
However, with Xue Qinghe's intervention, the matter was eventually swept under the rug.
As for Ye Feng, he returned to the Heaven Dou Academy and focused on his cultivation.
After all, his strength had increased too quickly, and he needed a lot of time to adapt.
The application of Soul Skills, the control of his physical body, and the complete digestion of the medicinal power of the two Immortal Herbs all required time.
Once he mastered all of this, his combat power would likely surge once again. In addition, although Ye Feng was not obligated to teach, he still chose to hold classes, taking the time to guide the students of the academy, which could be considered a new life experience.
He didn't know how to teach in the traditional sense, but he knew how to instruct—well, practical combat instruction.
Ye Feng had only one requirement: after class began, all the students would attack him together, and if they could so much as graze his clothes, they would pass.
Originally, his practical combat class had only a dozen or so students, but after being beaten by Ye Feng, they started calling for reinforcements.
Gradually, Ye Feng's practical combat class grew to over eighty students, spanning all grades.
Unfortunately, the more students came, the worse they were beaten.
The Royal Fight Team, however, was smart. Having experienced Ye Feng's strength firsthand, they didn't come to offer themselves up as cannon fodder, which left Ye Feng somewhat disappointed.
...
...
Shrek Academy, dormitory area.
"Boom—"
Zhu Zhuqing kicked Dai Mubai in the face, sending his head twisting to the side as he crashed into a nearby wooden hut, shattering it.
"Zhu Zhuqing! How dare you hit me! You're my fiancée—what's wrong with me touching your hand?!"
Dai Mubai spat out a mouthful of blood, along with a few broken teeth, his face filled with rage.
He had grown tired of the women he usually played with—they were all ordinary people, and it was never satisfying enough. That's why he had come to find Zhu Zhuqing. In a moment of excitement, he had touched her hand, only to be ambushed like this!
At the same time, he was somewhat incredulous. He was a level 37 Soul Grandmaster, while Zhu Zhuqing had only just reached level 31 a few days ago.
Moreover, she was an agility-type Soul Master. How could she possess such terrifying strength? It made no sense…
"I'm hitting you because you're a worthless piece of trash. If you dare touch me again, I'll kill you!!"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with anger, along with a cold, murderous intent! She had long since drawn a clear line with Dai Mubai in her heart. No matter what Dai Mubai did with other women, or how often or for how long, she no longer cared.
But for Dai Mubai to dare set his sights on her—that was something she could not tolerate!
Ye Feng's strength and handsomeness had been deeply imprinted in her mind. Anyone who fell short of Ye Feng was completely unappealing to her.
Being touched by that ugly bastard Dai Mubai made her feel utterly disgusted. She would have to wash her hands at least a hundred times tonight! "Fine, fine, Zhu Zhuqing, you're refusing to save face, huh? Don't think I won't take you right here and now. I'm your fiancé—even if I really did it, no one would say a thing!" Dai Mubai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clearly infuriated by Zhu Zhuqing's insults.
"Well, well, isn't this our young master Dai? Can't even handle a woman now? What a pathetic excuse for a man."
Ning Rongrong, hearing the commotion, stepped out of a nearby hut. Seeing Dai Mubai getting beaten up, she felt inexplicably pleased.
"Ning Rongrong, you damn hag, I'll ******* you!"
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!!"
Dai Mubai was thoroughly enraged and without hesitation activated his Martial Soul Avatar. His massive tiger claws fiercely lunged toward Ning Rongrong, clearly driven by fury.
"Ah! Zhu Zhuqing, save me!"
Feeling the terrifying killing intent emanating from Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong's face instantly turned pale. She quickly fled behind Zhu Zhuqing for protection.
"Netherworld Thrust—"
Zhu Zhuqing transformed into a shadowy figure and fearlessly thrust toward Dai Mubai, evidently truly angered.
