Chapter 871: with translation of chapter title

Cao Ying, standing aside, saw the scene and immediately said irritably, "What, just because your Chen Er wife knows how to be caring, I'm nothing?"

"Hehe, my Ying'er wife is also very understanding and can even share the worries for my husband."

Hearing the hint of displeasure in the former's tone, Lin Feng immediately tried to soothe.

And after the two women's actions, the melancholy in his heart caused by Yao Chen's breakthrough of the Half Saint Realm was largely dispelled.

As for Cao Ying, sitting opposite at the table, after hearing Lin Feng's words, she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

However, the former's attitude still made her feel very happy.

But thinking of business, Cao Ying lightly parting her pink lips again said, "How long more will it take you now to breakthrough to Four Stars?"

Hearing that, Lin Feng shook his head, sighed, "I don't know yet. Lately I feel I'm about to breakthrough, but each attempt I'm just a bit short."

The reason he has stayed in Xiao Dan Tower for so long now is because he sensed signs of a breakthrough.

Therefore, he lingered here, hoping to breakthrough to Four‑Star Dou Zun and then leave.

She moved her palm, angrily pinching Lin Feng's face, and said, "You heartless one, do you think I'm a woman whose desires are unsatisfied? It's just that this lady saw you in a bad mood and wanted to help you vent some of your anger."

Being tugged at his face continuously by Cao Ying, Lin Feng helplessly softened, then pulled away her smooth jade hand.

Even Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, no matter how formidable, cannot cause trouble here.

Then she leaned her delicate body forward, extended a soft fingertip to gently stroke Lin Feng's face, and with a coquettish smile said, "Then, shall I, miss, offer my fragrant, supple body for you to vent? Perhaps you'll finally feel the breakthrough."

After all, breaking through here, there's hardly any need to worry about safety.

As for Dan Chen in Lin Feng's arms, hearing their conversation, her cheek couldn't help turning a bit red.

"Hmph."

Hearing the former's lewd suggestion, Lin Feng irritably rolled his eyes and said.

"Stop causing trouble. I'm already near maddening; I have no mood for that. Besides, I give you both public rations daily, and I'm still not full!"

But regarding the breakthrough, she could offer no help.

After all, during this period, Lin Feng often placed the two together in all sorts of bizarre poses.

Every time she thought of those absurd scenes, it made her a bit embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, I… misunderstood you, can I apologize?"

While speaking, her jade hand again tugged the former's cheek forcefully, showing her displeasure.

【5】 Hearing that, Cao Ying's dark eyebrows twitched slightly.

Hearing that, Cao Ying's dark brows furrowed slightly.

Hearing that, Cao Ying instantly gave up.

Seeing his softening, Cao Ying's little nose wrinkled, then she let out a light hum and abandoned further teasing the former.

Retracting her jade arm, she hummed lightly, "Considering you traveled all the way to Xiao Dan Tower to bring me bone marrow, successfully helping this lady advance from Dou Zong Peak to break through to a One‑Star Dou Zun Peak, I'll let you off for now."

Hearing the word "breakthrough," Lin Feng gave a wry smile.

Since he broke through to Dou Zun, his breakthrough speed suddenly plummeted.

Now even his Ying'er wife and Chen Er wife, with the aid of Dou Sheng bone marrow, have each reached a One‑Star Dou Zun Peak and a Two‑Star Dou Zun respectively.

The distance to his Three‑Star Dou Zun is also not far.

But aside from watching his wives chase after him helplessly, he can do nothing.

Because no matter how anxious he is, he cannot change his breakthrough speed.

Now, whereas he could previously breakthrough a small rank in a few months or half a year, at normal cultivation he likely cannot even breakthrough a small rank in a year.

Even the current sense of breakthrough stems from when, while devouring the three‑thousand Yan Yan fire, the energy of the alien fire directly propelled him to the Three‑Star Dou Zun Peak realm.

Otherwise, he couldn't have found the breakthrough feeling so quickly.

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood.

Why those strong ones stuck in a realm for a long time, when enticed by alchemists like them, would eagerly rush over to serve them.

Because being stuck, watching others constantly close the gap, is unbearably painful.

"Husband, why don't you also use that Dou Sheng bone marrow? I've taken it before; given the massive pure combat Qi in it, it more than suffices to help you breakthrough to Four‑Star Dou Zun."

Seeing the former distressed over his own inability to breakthrough, Dan Chen felt a pang of compassion and immediately spoke.

"No!"

However, before the former could finish speaking, Cao Ying rejected the suggestion and retorted, "Although the Dou Sheng bone marrow contains a lot of the combat Qi that the Celestial Creator Saint had in life, it also carries the saint's aura. Each person can ingest at most two drops of the same Dou Sheng's bone marrow or essence blood."

"Otherwise, one's own combat Qi would easily be contaminated by the bone marrow owner's aura, causing cultivation issues. And you, husband, are already on the brink of breakthrough and not urgently needing stronger power, so there's no need to waste a chance to take the bone marrow."

After finishing, Lin Feng also smiled, stroked Dan Chen's blue hair, and laughed, "Ying'er is right; taking the Dou Sheng bone marrow now is indeed a bit unprofitable. But Chen Er, your concern for your husband makes me very happy."

And while speaking, Lin Feng showed no concealment of his affection for Dan Chen.

As for Dan Chen, she squinted slightly, enjoying her man's caress.

"By the way, you should be careful now; that old guy Yao Chen has revived, and he'll surely summon the Bone Spirit Cold Fire you hold!"

At that moment, Cao Ying recalled the former; during the earlier clash with Xiao Yan, she snatched the Bone Spirit Cold Fire from him, and promptly warned, "Regardless, Yao Chen is the master of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire. If he summons it, with your current strength you definitely can't stop it."

Hearing that, Lin Feng's expression hardened again.

Because, as the former said, Yao Chen has not only revived but also successfully broken through to the Half Saint Realm.

Thus, his soul power likely also experienced a breakthrough during the revival.

After all, since the former could revive, he must have taken some heavenly material that greatly benefits the soul.

And the medicinal potency of such heavenly material, combined with Yao Chen's great breakthrough.

It's perfectly normal for the soul power to ascend another level.
