Chapter 2168: Long‑standing Divine Communion

Three days later, Xiao Feng walked out of his home feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if he had been reborn.

"Sure enough, being at home is still the most comfortable; if there's no strong enemy threatening, I'll just stay home every day." Xiao Feng muttered to himself.

He glanced at the Xun Zong Jie Hui Shi, inquiring about the latest movements of Di Jiang.

Just as Kunpeng left, Di Jiang probably still wasn't reassured, so he hadn't come out yet, still hiding in the Void Sea.

Xiao Feng was also happy to take it easy, able to relax for a few more days.

He floated through the air and arrived at Xun Shuang's wooden hut, then rudely barged in.

Xun Shuang was cultivating, paying no attention to him.

Xiao Feng then sat down beside her, speaking in a voice only the two could hear: "In just three days, a certain Fairy Maiden's divine sense has descended seventeen times—is it because she cares too much about me, or is her curiosity too strong?"

Xun Shuang remained silent, continuing her cultivation, pretending not to have heard.

"Oh, I get it; Shuang'er is too shy to say it out loud."

Xiao Feng smiled, having pretty much figured out Xun Shuang's thoughts.

Xun Shuang still ignored him. Xiao Feng felt this was normal, because the Fairy Maiden's social skills weren't great; she realized that if she spoke now, she'd easily end up with nothing to say and not know how to respond, so she simply pretended to be clueless.

But, opportunities must be created by oneself!

Xiao Feng leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Since you're so curious, why don't we give it a try? Close the door, just the two of us sneaking in—no one will know."

Xun Shuang still wanted to remain silent.

But she ultimately couldn't hold back, blushing as she said: "No, no… doing it secretly is even worse!"

Sneaking in would make it seem like their relationship was improper, which she found even harder to accept.

"Eh, that means we can

"Openly and aboveboard?" Xiao Feng rejoiced, finally prying open her little mouth.

"No, no!" Xun Shuang shook her head vigorously, her cultivation unknowingly coming to a halt.

"Oh~"

"I understand!"

Xiao Feng chuckled teasingly, fully grasping her innermost thoughts.

"What do you understand?" Xun Shuang inexplicably felt a bit flustered.

Xiao Feng didn't explain, but immediately took action.

He gazed into Xun Shuang's eyes, a thread of divine sense drilling into her body and reaching her sea of consciousness.

Although the two weren't very intimate in daily life, they were extremely familiar with each other's mana and divine sense, having completely understood one another, so they didn't need to worry about any adverse consequences from a sudden intrusion.

"Brother Xiao Feng, what are you doing?" Xun Shuang exclaimed, noticing the divine sense suddenly drilling into her sea of consciousness, and she grew even more panicked.

Xiao Feng's divine sense exerted force, creating an illusion within Xun Shuang's sea of consciousness, making her feel as if she had left the wooden hut and appeared upon a mist-enshrouded fairy mountain.

On the fairy mountain there was a cliff, beside which lay a large stone that seemed about to fall, yet stood firmly upright.

"Primitive Peak? Enlightenment Stone?" Xun Shuang startled, recognizing the place—it was her homeland where she had dwelt for three thousand years.

Both had formed avatars within the sea of consciousness; Xiao Feng landed beside her and said: "Inside the sea of consciousness, nothing in the mental world can be spied upon—this time, Shuang'er can let down her guard, right?"

Xun Shuang's almond eyes widened, she slightly opened her mouth: "You, you mean to..."

"Hehe..."

Without another word, Xiao Feng directly began sparring with her.

Within the sea-of-consciousness illusion, clouds and mist surged, immortal cranes cried, withered pines rustled shedding leaves, the Enlightenment Stone

swaying back and forth as if about to tumble off the cliff.

In the wooden hut, the two merely sat quietly.

But as time passed, Xun Shuang's breathing gradually grew rapid, her body trembling slightly.

After an unknown period, Xun Shuang opened her eyes, seeing Xiao Feng beside her, a flicker of tenderness flashing in her gaze.

But in an instant it was replaced by embarrassment; she gritted her teeth, swung her hand, and unleashed a surge of potent mana that flung Xiao Feng outward.

"Hey hey hey?"

In midair he traced a long long mutual, then with a bang crashed onto the other end of a huge branch of the World Ancient Tree, nearly hitting the trunk.

"You... heartless Fairy Maiden." he muttered, slowly climbing up from the ground, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

But he was also quite satisfied.

Such things are either zero times or countless!

Taking the first step already secures victory!

Xun Shuang is currently embarrassed, so I won't tease her further.

Xiao Feng smiled contentedly and muttered to himself: "Where should we go next?"

Today's cultivation time is already up, there's nothing to do.

He glanced up at the position of the World Ancient Tree's top, feeling somewhat tempted.

But he soon gave up again.

Meals must be eaten bite by bite, battles fought one after another!

First go find Old Zhang and Old Li for a drink!

Xiao Feng sent a message to his two good brothers, asking if they wanted to meet offline for a drink.

The two readily agreed; coincidentally, after the world boss died, everyone had received decent rewards, their strength greatly increased, so they could go offline to relax.

The Lord of Stars is the world boss exclusive to the Human Camp, having attacked nearly a hundred cities over a continuous month.

In the first few days, the number of participating players was relatively high, exceeding ten billion.

But later, because the rewards

were too poor, the participants became few.

Finally, the main body of the Star Lord died, a supplementary world boss reward was issued; many people who saw the content regretted not having tried harder at the time.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, nobody has the ability to foresee, and at that time the situation could only be handled that way.

Most of the Chengshi players involved received a participation reward, and the overall gain was still good.

After this round, the average level of players in the major alliance area could be raised by about one level, which also counts as speeding up the progress.

Friends from Blue Star Sector 8, because there were multiple Chengshi involved in the world boss nearby, and they didn't care about the problem of Qi Luck being sucked, so this time they participated relatively frequently; Zhang Fan, Sword Slaying the Heavens, Dun Dun, and Clear Wind and Misty Rain all received top-ten contributions.

Li Li, Slaughter God, Shen Di, Battle Heaven, and Xing Yun Miao etc. received the top-hundred rewards, which were also quite good.

The three went offline together, also summoning Shen Di and Candle Dragon etc., and met for a Xian Xia small gathering.

Originally, cross-Chengshi meetings were quite time-consuming, taking several hours by plane, and the newly developed alien technology had not yet been put into use, making it inconvenient.

But with Xiao Feng present, a thought moved, he directly located these friends' residences, wrapped them up, and directly 'grabbed' them over.

In the atmospheric environment, using willpower to carry others through the sky, speed can reach close to three times the speed of sound, and it can also free them from the bodily pressure caused by high-speed movement.

Of course, even without his help, given everyone's current physique, the pressure of merely three times the speed of sound is nothing.

Xiao Feng has not gone offline for over a year, and has been using

His virtual form walks around outside.

This time, the main body logging out of the game felt no different from usual when his virtual form walks around; it was just that after disconnecting from the game world, his mind and will relaxed a little, and the things he paid attention to were forcibly reduced somewhat.

He felt around on his bedside table and found a small black ball.

"I said I don't care about you anymore, but I guess you're still paying attention to me." He looked at the black ball, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then he whispered, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor Sister."
