Chapter 637

Obviously, those people had all recognized Lin Feng's identity.

And these old men were also extremely curious, wondering just how the Grand Elder's courtyard intended to handle this matter.

"Whoosh~"

Not long after, Lin Feng descended right at the door of his own house.

However, after he landed, he sensed a familiar aura within his own room.

Thinking of that girl, Lin Feng couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

"Creak~"

Immediately afterward, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Who"

Hearing the sound of the wooden door being opened, a girl inside the room who had been concentrating on her embroidery hastily put down what she was holding, then lifted her head and said.

Her appearance seemed to indicate she didn't want anyone to know what it was.

"Lin Feng big brother!"

After seeing who had come clearly, the girl's slightly pale pretty face instantly lit up with delight.

Then she leapt, directly jumping into Lin Feng's arms.

And Lin Feng, seeing this, was also momentarily stunned.

Yet he instinctively supported the girl's exceptionally well-developed buttocks.

"Lin Feng big brother, are you alright? Chen Er was worried sick after hearing you were ambushed. If the old ancestor hadn't said you were fine and not let me go out, I would have come looking for you ages ago."

Dan Chen, who had flung herself into his arms, lifted her bright, watery eyes, her tone full of worry.

During his time in the Dan Tower, Lin Feng had employed every means at his disposal.

As a result, this naive girl had long since come to regard him as the most important person in her life, aside from her own brother.

At that time, upon hearing that Lin Feng had been ambushed, she became anxious, like ants on a hot pan.

"Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

Seeing the worried look in the girl's eyes in his arms, Lin Feng gave a light chuckle, then pinched her fair, delicate cheek to comfort her.

"Lin Feng big brother, you really are something—when you go out you should bring more strong people. If not, I'll tell the old ancestor to have him hire some strong guards for you. Otherwise, if this happens again, Chen Er won't be able to take it."

After confirming that Lin Feng was truly unharmed, Dan Chen immediately began to scold.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Chen Er."

Seeing her concerned expression, Lin Feng smiled and rubbed her little head, replying.

"Creak~"

Just as his words fell, Dan Chen hadn't yet had a chance to say anything when the wooden door was flung open again.

Immediately afterward, a group of people excitedly walked in, saying: "Lin Feng, you've finally arrived—we brought the puppets."

However, as the Xiao Dan Tower group just entered, they saw Lin Feng with both hands on Dan Chen's buttocks, the two embracing intimately.

This situation caused the half-spoken words of everyone present to come to an abrupt halt.

"Sorry for the disturbance, we'll come back tomorrow—you two carry on."

Immediately afterward, the group shifted tone and retreated backward.

As they spoke, one of them was about to thoughtfully help close the door for the two.

Hearing those people's puzzling words, Dan Chen froze for a moment.

But when she realized the intimate action she and Lin Feng were currently engaged in, her pretty face flushed red in an instant.

Hastily leaping out of Lin Feng's arms, she called out to the Xiao Dan Tower experts at the door: "Wait a moment, seniors, I and Lin Feng big brother aren't what you think!"

"We understand, we understand, Dan girl, rest assured—we absolutely won't tell your old ancestor."

Upon hearing that, the crowd all revealed a knowing smile and nodded.

As for their thoughts, they were already calculating whom they would share this exclusive news with later.

As for Old Man Dan, he was definitely going to make a trip there.

After all, they also wanted to see what expression that guy would have upon learning that their family's top talent had already been taken by Lin Feng.

"You guys... you guys, I'm not telling you!"

Seeing that no one believed a word she said.

Not knowing what to do, Dan Chen turned and flew straight out the window.

"Chen Er."

Seeing Dan Chen running away, Lin Feng instinctively shouted.

However, she wouldn't stop at this moment; her figure quickly vanished into the distant horizon.

"Hehe, Lin Feng, you're impressive—just staying here two months and you've already taken one of the two major goddesses among the youngsters of Xiao Dan Tower. If they found out, they'd probably be furious to death."

Seeing Dan Chen run off, a group of Xiao Dan Tower experts immediately swarmed over, chattering excitedly.

To those who didn't know, it looked as if they had just refined a ninth-grade pill.

"Sigh~"

Gazing at the ever-more-excited people before him, Lin Feng let out a helpless sigh.

Immediately afterward, after composing himself, Lin Feng chuckled lightly: "I thought that after falling out with the Medicine Venerable's disciples, you seniors wouldn't dare come here, but now it seems I was overthinking."

"Tch."

Upon hearing that, one of them curled his lip and said: "Although our alchemy skills can't compare to Yaochen and the Three Giants, we're just as unafraid—what's there to fear from him? Moreover, that guy's conduct has already crossed Xiao Dan Tower's bottom line; who knows how many days he has left to live."

"Exactly—if it weren't for Xuankongzi and Xuanyi running around, that brat would probably have already been dragged out and chopped. But looking at your expression, you must have gotten those puppets; hurry up and bring them out for us to see."

"Exactly, why talk about that—let's just look at the puppets. This time I want two of them. Earlier I saw those scoundrels using silver puppets to catch Dan Lei, and the puppets' strength shot up straight to two-star, even reaching three-star Dou Zun Realm—it made me drool."

Two-star or three-star Dou Zun, for the experts inside this Xiao Dan Tower, isn't really anything.

But this puppet, however, can directly skip over so many levels in a short moment, its strength skyrocketing, which instead piqued their interest.

After all, for an ordinary person to rise from Battle Master to a two- or three-star Battle Venerable would take decades or even centuries.

But this puppet, after withstanding a roughly five-colored pill thunder, can directly reach that realm.

Such speed is simply unheard of.

"Alright, let's go out first; this wooden hut is too small, it's already extremely difficult for us to stand in, and we simply can't set up the puppet."

Lin Feng looked at the cramped wooden hut, then helplessly said.

Upon hearing this, the other Xiao Dan Tower Elders also realized the problem.

"Whoosh~"

With a series of slight tearing-through-air sounds, the crowd that had filled the room instantly went outside.

Lin Feng, seeing this, quickly followed and came outside as well.

However, when he arrived outside, he found that there were still many other strong individuals on the surrounding open ground.

If all were added together, the number of people here would certainly not be less than twenty.

"Looks like Cao Ying didn't lie to me; this puppet is indeed extremely popular in the Xiao Dan Tower."

Seeing this, Lin Feng clasped his hands toward the surrounding crowd, then lightly wiped his space ring.

After a flash of faint light, twenty-seven silver Earth Demon Puppets and four golden Heavenly Demon Puppets suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

These puppets are the fruits of Lin Feng's painstaking refinement over the past half month.

The bodies of these four Heavenly Demon Puppets are respectively those of the Golden Body Sect Sect Master, Ouyang Jie, the Wind Venerable, and an unnamed five-star Battle Venerable invited by Ouyang Jie.

Of course, it was also fortunate that the refinement of Heavenly Demon Puppets requires the tempering of flames and the corrosion of metal solutions.

After successful refinement, the Earth Demon Puppets' appearance and form are completely different from their original.

Otherwise, Lin Feng would certainly not dare to use the Wind Venerable's body.

Let me address some of the more common questions from the recent comment section (under 200 characters, no charge).

1. Why doesn't the protagonist seize the Ancient Emperor's Jade?

The protagonist's current strength is insufficient; daring to touch something that both the Soul Hall and the Ancient Clan desire would result in a miserable death.

2. Why doesn't the protagonist simply kill or cripple Xiao Yan and take all the strange fires?

Because he can't afford to offend Gu Xun'er; in that world, crippling someone, especially Xiao Yan who has the Soul Hall as an enemy, is even worse than killing him outright.

Gu Xun'er likes Xiao Yan, so she definitely won't let the protagonist off.

Even if he can't command people, if Xiao Yan hands over his Ancient Emperor Jade to the Ancient Clan for a trade, the protagonist will still die.
