Chapter 253: Monster Beast Aura

~7 min read 1,381 words

Lin Feng felt somewhat irritable, but he endured it and did not lash out.

The next moment, he raised his right hand and pressed it onto the shoulder of this university student named Wang Miaomiao; a stream of pure Divine Dragon True Qi immediately surged out from his palm, injected into Wang Miaomiao's body, and roamed everywhere within her.

However, after Lin Feng checked for quite a while, he did not discover anything peculiar about Wang Miaomiao.

She was just an ordinary person, and she did not have any peculiar constitution.

If one had to say something, it was that this Wang Miaomiao was fairly attractive, enough to be called a beauty.

But being pretty is useful for people, yet useless against a Monster Beast; a Monster Beast would not let her go just because she looked good.

"Did you find anything?" Lei Dong asked expectantly.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No, she is very ordinary."

Lei Dong immediately wore a look of disappointment.

Lin Feng used Gathering Sound into a Line and said to Lei Dong, "But there is definitely a problem with this university student; she and her two companions might have done something to attract that Monster Beast."

"Then what next?" Lei Dong asked in a low voice.

"After you go back, send people to investigate and see where this university student has been and what she has done recently," Lin Feng said.

"Yes, I understand," Lei Dong nodded and said.

After giving his instructions, Lin Feng said to Wang Miaomiao, "Alright, there is no problem with you; you can return to school now. But remember, you might still be attacked by that fierce beast, so it is best if you stay at school during this time and do not go out without authorization; otherwise, even if you encounter danger, we will not be able to help you."

Wang Miaomiao said very fearfully, "You... won't you protect me?"

"We will have people protecting you in secret," Lin Feng said.

Only upon hearing this did Wang Miaomiao finally relax a little, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face.

Wang Miaomiao left, and Lin Feng followed her.

But Wang Miaomiao did not know, and she could not perceive Lin Feng's presence at all.

Lei Dong, meanwhile, stayed here to handle the scene and send people to investigate.

Wang Miaomiao returned to Jinling University of Science and Technology and entered her dormitory; seeing Wang Miaomiao's pale complexion, her roommates asked questions one after another.

But Lin Feng had already warned her, so she dared not speak recklessly and did not dare to mention the fact that she had been attacked at all.

And this scene was seen clearly by Lin Feng, who was standing on the balcony outside.

But Lin Feng did not reveal himself and continued to wait in the shadows.

A night passed quickly, and Lei Dong called.

"Mr. Lin, your judgment was indeed correct; a week ago, Wang Miaomiao and that pair of young man and woman went to Baiping Mountain in the suburbs and spent the night there."

"I suspect that they must have done something in Baiping Mountain, which is why they were targeted by that Monster Beast."

Lei Dong said quickly, and when Lin Feng heard his report, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"I know now; I will find an opportunity to interrogate her again," Lin Feng said.

"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Lin," Lei Dong said politely.

In the dormitory, the other girls had all left.

Thus, only Wang Miaomiao remained in the empty dormitory.

Wang Miaomiao looked around, and after confirming that there was no one nearby, she hurriedly opened the cabinet and took out an iron box from it.

A fruit the size of a walnut, presenting red and blue colors, was immediately exposed to the air.

Looking at this fruit, a look of greed appeared on Wang Miaomiao's face; she reached out her right hand to grab the fruit in the iron box, but a hand suddenly shot out from the side like lightning and gripped her wrist tightly.

"So it is an Ice Fire Spirit Fruit!" Lin Feng said.

Wang Miaomiao was scared half to death, and her body began to tremble.

"It's you... how did you..."

Lin Feng released Wang Miaomiao's right hand, grabbed the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit, and said, "Now the truth is out; you and your two classmates went camping at Baiping Mountain and encountered the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit there. Although you didn't know what the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit was, you thought it was extraordinary at first glance, so you became greedy and picked it, wanting to cash it in."

"But you are just ordinary university students with no connections, so even if you wanted to cash it in, you couldn't do it in a short time. What you didn't expect even more was that the owner of the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit followed you into the city—that is, the Monster Beast!"

"Wang Miaomiao, this is what happens when you try to take advantage of things! Your two classmates have already been killed by greed; do you want to follow in their footsteps now?"

Wang Miaomiao's face turned pale with fright, and her face was covered in tears.

"I... I know I was wrong; I don't want this thing anymore, you take it away..."

Lin Feng said, "That Monster Beast has already targeted you; even if I take this fruit away now, it will be of no use. It will come looking for you sooner or later!"

Wang Miaomiao slumped on the floor, covering her face with both hands and sobbing uncontrollably.

Lin Feng, however, looked at the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit in his hand, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The Ice Fire Spirit Fruit is a type of Spirit Medicine, rich in the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth; using it as the main ingredient, one can refine an Ice Fire Immortal-Ascension Pill, which not only has strong healing effects but also has the efficacy of detoxifying poisons.

Its value is extraordinary!

However, for Lin Feng, the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit was not of much use; in Lin Feng's view, its greatest value at this moment was to lure that Monster Beast into appearing.

"I... what should I do now?" Wang Miaomiao asked.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "At twelve o'clock tonight, go to the small woods at your school, bite your finger, and drip your blood onto the Ice Fire Spirit Fruit. You don't need to worry about the rest; just leave it to me."

"After it is done, people from Dragon Soul will come to contact you; at that time, you can sell this Ice Fire Spirit Fruit to Dragon Soul, and Dragon Soul will definitely give you a price that satisfies you."

Wang Miaomiao was not a fool; she immediately guessed Lin Feng's intention.

"You... you want me to be bait to lure that Monster Beast into appearing? That won't work, I will be in great danger; what if I get eaten by that Monster Beast..."

Lin Feng grabbed Wang Miaomiao by the neck and said coldly, "Do you think you still have a choice? Obey me and do as I say, and I will ensure your safety; furthermore, I can solve your trouble once and for all. If you don't listen to me, then I will leave right now, and when the Monster Beast finds you, let's see what you do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng released Wang Miaomiao and made a gesture of turning to leave.

Who would have thought that Wang Miaomiao would cry and chase after him, hugging Lin Feng from behind.

"Don't go, I beg you, don't go, don't leave me behind..."

Lin Feng's scalp tingled.

In this situation, anyone who didn't know the truth would definitely misunderstand their relationship.

Lin Feng then shoved Wang Miaomiao away and said irritably, "Are we even close? Why are you getting handsy?"

Wang Miaomiao wiped the tears from her face and finally made up her mind, saying, "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to everything you say. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it; I will absolutely never go against you..."
