Chapter 457: Volume 1 Game World Chapter 458 A Thunderclap

"This... Master, isn't this inappropriate?" He Er Na didn't dare to accept it, feeling it was too precious.

Xiao Feng laughed and said, "What's inappropriate about it? It's just a book; it won't disappear. Whoever reads it, reads it. After we finish studying it, I'll still teach Old Li and the others."

"But I've heard that the Secret Refining Technique is a treasure of the Myriad Heavens World; if privately transmitted, the Creator will find out and impose severe punishment." He Er Na was somewhat worried, fearing to provoke some terrifying existence.

Those capable of creating the Secret Refining Technique are at least Main God level.

If the other party gets angry, with her and Xiao Feng's abilities, escaping with their lives would be difficult.

Xiao Feng shook his head. "No, this is something produced by the Myriad Heavens Tower, not a private transmission. The Myriad Heavens Tower is a trial ground set up by the Creator God; it can be understood that this book is something the Creator God sold to me. As the Creator God, a game designer, he certainly wouldn't be so stingy as to cause us trouble over a book. Go ahead and study it; if anything happens, I'll take the blame!"

"Master..."

He Er Na bit her lip, still feeling uneasy.

She felt Xiao Feng might not be able to "hold up"!

But since Xiao Feng said that, she couldn't defy the master's order and could only obey.

"Hurry up and study; I need to tell my master I'm heading to the Shen Jie right away." Xiao Feng told her, then stood up preparing to leave.

"Yes, Master."

He Er Na sat where she was and opened the book.

Boom—

She had just opened the cover of the Origin Book when the previously clear-skied War City was suddenly shrouded in endless dark clouds.

The whole sky turned dark, as if it were night!

A thunderclap exploded, startling everyone.

"Wow!"

Dai Ni Si was frightened into a shudder and directly darted into Xiao Feng's embrace.

He Er Na also trembled with both hands, and the Origin Book fell to the ground.

With that fall, the book happened to close.

After it closed, the dark clouds in the sky immediately vanished.

"What... what the heck?"

Xiao Feng was dumbfounded.

This means, they really don't allow it to be passed on?

The instant shift from darkness to light, that deafening thunder—it doesn't seem fake at all!

The pedestrians on the street were all scared silly!

"It's just a book; surely it's not that serious?"

"I'll hold it up for you to see."

He spoke hesitantly, walked back over disbelievingly, and picked up the book.

Then he sat beside He Er Na, directly opened the book, and placed it before her eyes.

"Master... I really can't study this!"

Seeing his action, He Er Na's forehead beaded with sweat; she tightly shut her eyes, daring not to open them.

She felt

, that just now was a warning.

If she dared to secretly learn it, next time it wouldn't be a warning but outright annihilation—body and spirit would vanish forever!

"Is it really that serious..."

Xiao Feng very much wanted to share the good thing with the people around him.

But He Er Na was frightened to this extent, her whole body trembling, her clothes soaked with sweat; her reaction was indeed overly intense.

"Master, I appreciate your kindness. As you said, this is a gift from the Creator God, not to be lightly passed on. I still want to live a few more years; please understand, Master."

He Er Na's voice echoed in her mind.

"This... okay."

Xiao Feng felt helpless, but seeing her so afraid, he didn't dare to force her; he could only put the Origin Book away and stash it in his backpack.

"Huu~"

He Er Na exhaled, her whole body going limp, as if she had just gone through a great battle.

"Mother Goddess..."

Dai Ni Si stepped forward, embraced her, and helped wipe away her sweat.

"Sigh..."

Xiao Feng let out a sigh.

He also hadn't expected the game to have such a mechanism—his reward item actually couldn't be shared with others.

If it's set up like that, why not just give a skill book that disappears after learning? That would be much more convenient.

"Let's go find Old Li later to try. He Er Na is an NPC, her life and death are controlled by the Creator God; Old Li is a player, so it should be fine." He thought to himself.

Old Li isn't home now; we can only wait until he returns to talk about it.

Originally he also wanted to visit Master La Luo Na Er and then prepare to ascend to the Shen Jie.

Seeing He Er Na drenched in cold sweat because of him, feeling somewhat guilty, he decided to stay at home temporarily.

"Are you all right?" He helped He Er Na up, asking with concern.

"I'm fine, Master; you go attend to your business, no need to worry about me." He Er Na replied.

Although she said that, her face still showed a look of lingering fear.

Xiao Feng rubbed her face, wiped away the fine sweat on her forehead, and said, "Actually I'm not busy; look at how frightened you are, your clothes are soaked—go back and take a bath."

Ah, this... no need, I can use divine power to cleanse the impurity.

He Er Na was still a bit frightened, but hearing him say that, her expression instantly turned weird, and she hurriedly refused.

While speaking, he also invoked divine power, evaporating the sweat on his body.

"Emmm..."

When Xiao Feng said this, he had no impure thoughts; it was purely out of habit—sweat, then bathe, nothing special.

He Er Na's reaction made him both laugh and cry, feeling as if he had turned into a lustful ghost, scaring the goddess so much she didn't even dare to bathe.

"Forget it, you yourself look

and handle it."

He said helplessly, not forcing her to go back inside.

Just then a system announcement sounded, triggered by Li Li and them.

【Battle Zone Announcement: Congratulations to player team "Xiao Feng's Fans" for first clearing the 225-level main storyline dungeon "Xing Kong Castle"; first clear players: Old Zhang next door, Old Li next door, One shield beats you to death, Blind archer, Xing Yun Miao.】

The announcement was sent three times, the honor of the first kill echoed throughout the zone.

Just as the announcement sounded, the fixed team's small channel heard Li Li's voice.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao, when did you come back? Did you see our team name? We cleared it together with you!"

Xiao Feng chuckled: "Mm, you guys are awesome, hurry back to Xiao Zhai, I've prepared some good stuff for you again."

"Holy crap, another mythic gear? Boss Xiao is awesome!!" Li Li shouted, directly guessing what he intended to give.

"Mm."

Xiao Feng also couldn't be bothered to hide it, directly admitted.

Low-grade divine artifacts meant little to Xiao Feng anymore; however many he had were just for giving away.

Besides, he wasn't short on money, so there was no need to sell.

"We'll be back right away!" Li Li replied.

Less than three minutes later, all five returned to Xiao Zhai using their tokens.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao~"

Li Li shouted as he sprinted over, looking like he wanted to give a bear hug.

Xiao Feng quickly flew up using wind evasion, dodging the strike.

"Bang!"

Li Li lunged at empty air, directly hit the wall, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Damn, that's not fair! Having an NPC wife means you won't let your good bro hug you!" Li Li, embarrassed, rubbed his sore head and said resentfully.

Because there have long been three NPC beauties living at home, they privately jokingly referred to He Er Na and the two other women as Xiao Feng's NPC wives.

However, today was still the first time they said it outright.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Feng not only didn't get angry, but also smiled: "You know I have a wife yet you don't restrain yourself; what if they misunderstand?"

"Holy crap, Old Xiao, why aren't you scolding me? You weren't like this before!" Li Li widened his eyes.

If this had been before, when he joked, he'd inevitably be laughed at and scolded a few times, then kicked twice.

Xiao Feng openly admitted, which was quite unexpected.

"Could it be that..."

Zhang Fan and Li Li both widened their eyes.

Look at Xiao Feng, then look at He Er Na and Dai Ni Si beside him, and already in the distant bamboo grove is Mi Nie Ya.

The two exchanged a glance, an expression of sudden realization: "So Old Xiao likes this type!"

Dun Dun also furrowed his brows: "If that's the case, aren't we just the light bulbs at home? Should we move out?"
