Chapter 1916

When going downstairs, the people downstairs were all there.

Seeing the two holding hands as they came down, Dun Dun immediately showed a gossipy expression, while Jiang Ning gave a relieved smile; the others had varied expressions, but generally they were good.

Xun Shuang's expression was somewhat unnatural; several times she tried to pull her hand back, but all attempts failed.

Xiao Feng remained calm, seeing that Feng Yan Yu had already returned, he said to her: "Rain, Xun Shuang is now suffering greatly from cold injuries; while I'm away, please help her."

"Alright, then I won't go out recently." Feng Yan Yu answered decisively.

"I can help her absorb the cold!" Bing Lu also expressed willingness to help.

Xiao Feng glanced at the little female dragon with horns on her head, shook his head and said: "Forget it; with your meager strength, trying to absorb the cold released by your dragon clan's ancestor, the Azure Dragon, would likely freeze you into an ice pop."

"I... I'm that weak?" Bing Lu said, feeling wronged.

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly, not continuing to criticize her.

Although Bing Lu is of dragon descent, she has little connection to the dragons of the Void Sea; she is merely an impure-blooded offshoot dragon descendant, having drifted to the Elemental Divine Realm since childhood and been raised by He Er Na.

Apart from the sensitive dragon horns on her head, she has nothing to do with the dragon clan elsewhere, so there's no need to be specially wary of her.

"I'm going to see Senior Cai Yi and Little Xuan Die; do you want to come along?" he asked casually.

Everyone shook their heads, knowing he intended to take Xun Shuang for a stroll to cultivate feelings, and they didn't want to be a third wheel.

The two left the door, rose up with ease, and flew toward the Butterfly Emperor Palace.

While flying leisurely, Xiao Feng told Xun Shuang the origin of this place.

From Little Jianmu to the World Ancient Tree, from the Myriad Phenomena Forest to the Chaos Secret Realm, the process all

told her.

Naturally, this also included the matter of Xuan Die falling for his sake.

After hearing it, Xun Shuang didn't say much, though she felt somewhat moved inside.

She had seen Xuan Die before; previously she thought this monster clan expert was extending an olive branch to Xiao Feng, possibly harboring ill intentions.

Unexpectedly, after just a few years apart, the other party actually sacrificed himself for Xiao Feng.

The two arrived at the top of the World Ancient Tree; Cai Yi was, as always, standing at the doorway.

"Senior Cai Yi." Xiao Feng greeted.

The other party gave a slight nod, his gaze falling on Xun Shuang, and said: "Are you still accustomed to living here?"

Xun Shuang didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod.

Cai Yi added: "If you feel the cold clinging to you is unbearable, you can seek Fei Lian; her abilities are also not bad, and she can help you."

Xun Shuang still didn't know who Fei Lian was, but out of politeness she nodded and said: "Thank you."

"Senior Fei Lian is also a Yao Saint, very skilled at alchemy. In the future, if you'll be staying here for a long time, you can get to know everyone here; later we'll visit them one by one." Xiao Feng said to Xun Shuang.

Xun Shuang's brows furrowed slightly.

She is icy and smart; from Xiao Feng's actions she saw through his intentions.

This man clearly intends to use his social circle to influence her, to make her adapt to this place, and then adapt to the identity of being his person.

But she didn't want to accept; she shook her head: "Having seen the descendant of Venerable Xuan Die, let's go back; I want to rest."

"Alright, if you don't want to go, then I'll have them come over." Xiao Feng changed his approach.

Xun Shuang hurriedly said: "Don't... I, I don't like being surrounded by people," flustered and wanting to refuse.

Visiting them one by one is like bringing one's wife back home to go house-to-house with neighbors for tea.

Let other

people come over, then it's like a new bride arriving home, being watched by the neighbors…… the meaning is exactly the same, the latter actually makes people more embarrassed.

"Then shall we visit?" Xiao Feng gave a light chuckle.

Xun Shuang wore a worried, bitter expression.

She somewhat understood that she currently lacks the ability to resist, and can only be led by him by the nose.

Inadequate strength is the greatest root of misfortune; without power in her hands, she can only be manipulated at will.

The two entered the palace and came to Xuan Die's living quarters.

Little Xuan Die today unusually wasn't sleeping; she was sitting on the ground playing with three small flags.

Seeing those three battle flags, Xun Shuang immediately recognized them as high-grade supreme treasures, and couldn't help being startled by the little girl's background.

"Little girl, today I've brought a sister over for you to meet."

Xiao Feng led Xun Shuang over and sat down in front of Little Xuan Die.

When speaking to a child, don't look down from above; sitting down gives a sense of closeness.

Xun Shuang also understood this reasoning; out of respect for the venerable's orphan, she knelt and sat together on the ground.

Little Xuan Die lifted her gaze to look at Xun Shuang; her golden pupils reflected Xun Shuang's ordinary appearance at this moment.

Xun Shuang also gazed at this descendant of the venerable who had not yet become a God King.

When their eyes met, their divine senses also touched each other briefly.

In that instant, Xun Shuang's face showed a look of surprise, while Little Xuan Die quickly lowered her head, somewhat flustered.

"What's wrong, shy?" Xiao Feng pinched her little cheek, thinking she was just a bit nervous seeing a stranger.

Little Xuan Die lowered her head and gave two "um" sounds, then put away the three absolute battle flags, saying: "I'm going to sleep." She ran straight to the cocoon and burrowed into it.

"Sigh, all she knows is to sleep all day." Xiao Feng said helplessly.

Xun

Shuang watched the little girl's fleeing figure, thoughtful.

However, in the end she didn't expose her, merely saying: "Let her rest." Then she got up, preparing to leave.

"Alright."

Xiao Feng looked inside the cocoon; the little girl had just burrowed in and already emitted even breathing sounds, her speed of falling asleep practically divine, and there was nothing he could do.

This little girl is just like that; she can sleep over 20 hours a day, and he has long been accustomed to it. At once he pulled Xun Shuang and left together.

Afterwards the two went from house to house visiting Fei Lian, Chan Xia, and Qiao Yue, three ancestor‑god‑level Yao Saints, as well as Zi Xi and Xi Yun, the female demons who were fairly acquainted with Xiao Feng, and others.

Every time she saw a demon woman, Xun Shuang would furrow her brows.

Especially Zi Xi, a demoness among demonesses, upon seeing Xiao Feng greeted him with a smiling chuckle, calling him 'Xiao Feng little brother' in every breath—she was more practiced at it than Mienie Ya—and even asked him, 'Why hasn't Da Bai come to be affectionate with them lately? I haven't seen him in three days and I'm almost dying missing Da Bai!'

The information conveyed in those words made Xun Shuang's empty hand inside her sleeve clench a little.

After wandering for over two hours, as Xiao Feng leisurely flew Xun Shuang home, she couldn't help but ask: 'The women on this tree, are they…… what kind of relationship do they have with you?'

"Um… ah?" Xiao Feng was startled, and quickly said: "No no no, don't misunderstand! These demon powerhouses are just my friends; they are subordinates of Senior Xuan Die, and Little Jianmu was originally their home. I have a neighborly relationship with them, with nothing improper. As for Da Bai and such, that's just them playing around! My mount usually behaves improperly, liking to flirt with girls"

"children, and has nothing to do with me!"

He distanced himself completely clean.

In fact, it was originally clean and proper.

Xun Shuang listened, merely gave a slight nod, and replied: 'Hmm.'

Xiao Feng felt both amused and exasperated, self‑deprecatingly saying: 'It seems in your opinion I'm pretty terrible—you suspect every single one… come to think of it, are you jealous like this?'

Saying that, he couldn't help but feel a bit happy.

Xun Shuang lightly replied: 'No. Even if they are just ordinary friends, seeing someone so promiscuous, feeling aversion is normal, right?'

"Um, I suppose so… thank goodness I'm not as licentious as you imagine.' Xiao Feng felt a bit disappointed, yet also somewhat relieved.

"Huh?"

Xun Shuang heard that, glanced at him, her expression a bit puzzled, as if asking: 'You call this not licentious?'

Xiao Feng gave an embarrassed laugh: 'A little bit, just a little bit!'

Xun Shuang shook her head and said nothing more.
