Chapter 783: Su Ni's Tears【7 More】

Xiao Feng didn't continue to dwell on the topic of spirit beasts; while clarifying his direction to search for treasure, he opened the Treasure Hunting Ranking among the top five lists and checked his own rank.

The Treasure Hunting Ranking is still quite chaotic; the first and second places have high scores, then it drops off like a cliff, and after dozens of places it's all single digits, showing that at this stage there are very few players hunting treasures in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Treasure Hunting Ranking

1st place: 1390 points, I pick up trash in Myriad Heavens (highest gain: 5th‑level Supreme Treasure)

2nd place: 1214 points, Shen Chuo (highest gain: Divine King Artifact)

3rd place: 331 points, Ultra‑dimensional Machine Soldier 22 (highest gain: Chief God Artifact)

4th place: 287 points, Congcong Is the Best (highest gain: 3rd‑level Supreme Treasure)

5th place: 192 points, Humans Must Die (highest gain: 3rd‑level Supreme Treasure)

6th place: 166 points, Old Ancestor I've Come to Save You (highest gain: Chief God Artifact)

7th place: 121 points, Xiao Feng (highest gain: Chief God Artifact)

8th place: 43 points, Yegelutes (highest gain: 2nd‑level Supreme Treasure)

9th place: 40 points, Little Horn (highest gain: 2nd‑level Supreme Treasure)

10th place: 40 points, I'll Eat a Bit of Sulfur and Leave (highest gain: Supreme‑grade Divine Artifact)

This ranking doesn't show the names "Accompanying Play for Four Million Years" and "Ultra‑dimensional Machine Soldier 17", indicating they have no treasure‑hunting experience.

On the other hand, Shen Chuo's score is high; apparently he previously unearthed the Divine King Artifact 【Divine Sea God Ring】, earning many Treasure Hunting points.

Xiao Feng wondered why, when he previously obtained the 3rd‑level essence 【Awakening Holy Bright Fruit】, he didn't earn any points!

That item was found via the 【Divine Light Treasure Mirror】; according to its 3rd‑level quality, it should have awarded 121 points.

The reason he didn't get points is likely related to the treasure's category—directly consuming the essence that didn't go into his inventory, the system ignored it!

The fruit protested its dissatisfaction!

But it's fine; ahead there's still a Chief God Artifact waiting for him to dig up—once unearthed it will instantly give another 121 points, raising his Treasure Hunting Ranking to fifth place, right behind Congcong's butt.

As Da Bai advanced, the swinging amplitude of the Treasure Hunting Compass needle began to weaken, giving an increasingly clear indication of direction.

One hour later, Xiao Feng used the treasure map again, and the hint changed!

【Target distance relatively close (greater than 50,000 km), direction indication gradually stabilizing!】

A distance of 50,000–100,000 km still requires a while of flight.

Along the way, occasional wild monsters of the Spirit Bird Race would rush out to attack them, but relying on the protection of the Heavenly Dao's shelter, Da Bai was very safe, and Xiao Feng himself wasn't easily injured either—throughout the journey there were scares but no danger.

As the distance from his base's Teleportation Array grew, the strength of the wild monsters encountered along the way also gradually increased.

At first he could still see some demigod little monsters, but later they disappeared; the weakest were now over level 300 lesser gods.

Xiao Feng occasionally cast a few area‑of‑effect spells, sweeping away monsters in swaths, and incidentally absorbed some cultivation.

He couldn't be bothered to pick up the drops; materials below Chief God level meant little to him and would just waste time.

After flying nonstop for four hours, the surrounding small monsters were almost all intermediate‑god level.

Chief God‑level wild monsters also appeared a few times; seeing Xiao Feng and Da Bai flying nonchalantly through the sky, they launched attacks.

But after enduring a volley of Xiao Feng's source needles and sensing his terror, they all wisely retreated.

Those capable of growing to Chief God realm are basically not fools; they still highly value their survival safety.

After flying for four hours, Xiao Feng was starving, so he temporarily found a place to land, stored Da Bai in his mount space, and went offline right there to eat.

……

At this moment, the Xian Xia time was eight or nine in the evening; earlier that day they had just experienced an assassin's attack, and the house was still somewhat messy.

In the evening, the cleaners and renovation workers had come, repairing the severely damaged basement; now it's basically been cleaned up, and the broken walls have been rebuilt.

However, the basement's iron door needs to be remade; it can't be restored to its original state that quickly.

When Xiao Feng went downstairs, the outside lights were all off, and indoors only a auxiliary light in the living room remained on.

Maid sister Su Ni wasn't online tonight; she seemed to have just taken a shower, dressed coolly, sitting on the living‑room sofa, looking at her phone as if chatting with someone.

She furrowed her brows, seeming to have some worries, so she didn't notice Xiao Feng coming downstairs right away.

Only when Xiao Feng entered the living room did his footsteps startle her; it was as if she had been frightened, her hand trembled, and her phone slipped into the sofa's crevice.

"What's up? What are you so engrossed in?" Xiao Feng asked casually.

"Ah, no, nothing..." Su Ni hurriedly shook her head to conceal it, her jade hand grabbing randomly on the sofa, and she retrieved her phone.

Seeing her flustered appearance, as if she had something on her mind, Xiao Feng asked, "Are you facing something?"

"No." Su Ni denied outright, forced a smile, and said, "Boss hasn't eaten dinner yet; you must be starving—I'll go make you something!"

Then, holding her phone, she walked toward the kitchen.

What the heck?

Xiao Feng felt she was acting weird.

Ding dong~

At that moment, Su Ni's phone rang; because it wasn't locked, her fingertip happened to touch it, and a voice message played.

"Miss Su, this task is really simple—just tamper with Xiao Feng's food to make him disappear forever, and 1 billion cash will be transferred to your account instantly!"

Crack

The phone fell to the ground.

The living room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Those words, as if added with a reverb effect, kept echoing in both of their ears.

Su Ni froze completely, not even daring to breathe.

Xiao Feng looked at her and couldn't help but frown.

"Boss…"

Su Ni's body trembled slightly, and she didn't dare look back at Xiao Feng's expression.

If this matter were exposed, even if she hadn't accepted that so-called "mission," it would likely provoke the boss's strong vigilance and hostility!

Thinking about what happened today—the terrifying explosion, the three assassins with gruesome deaths, and the dozen or so mysterious bodyguards who looked hard to mess with…

The world behind Xiao Feng is something she dare not imagine!

That level is something ordinary people could never come into contact with in a lifetime!

And now, she probably has already angered this boss.

Her life… is probably doomed.

She might not even see tomorrow's sun!

Plop

Su Ni turned over, immediately knelt on the ground, her body trembling from fear, crying and saying: "Boss, I, I… I didn't collude with anyone, I didn't have any ill intentions toward you, it's, it's… this is all just the news I just received; I originally wanted to block him, but seeing you come downstairs, I panicked and just… just forgot…"

She is now very afraid, tears streaming down.

She was supposed to get a raise, but tonight she ran into this mess; the rich people's world is so terrifying, she now regrets it deeply—she really shouldn't have come to work as this maid.

Under her fearful gaze, Xiao Feng walked over with a furrowed brow.

"Boss……"

Su Ni cried and begged, clinging to one of his legs, terrified out of her wits.

However, Xiao Feng did not get angry.

Instead, he patted her head and said, "It's fine."

Then he picked up his phone and glanced at the chat log.

The person who sent her the message was someone with the online nickname "Z", who, right after adding her as a friend, flashed 30 billion in deposits and various things showing off his wealth.

Su Ni's reply was to send a "?".

The other party then posted Su Ni's family's information, address, and contact details; Su Ni again sent a "???" to ask what they meant.

Then came that voice message.

The meaning was: either she poison Xiao Feng, Lao Zhang, and the others to death, or she would attack her family!

After seeing this, Xiao Feng furrowed his brow deeply.

"Really, leaving no stone unturned." He shook his head, took out his phone, and directly sent a photo of Su Ni's chat log to Shen Di Jiang Peng, with the message: "Help me protect Su Ni's family."

As for who "Z" is, anyone can tell with a moment's thought—it must be a subordinate of the Lord of Light!

People like this can't be defended against unless they're completely eliminated.

"Boss……"

Su Ni was still afraid, tears flowing nonstop, worried about both her family and herself, not knowing who Xiao Feng had sent the message to, fearing he would soon knock her out, stuff her in a sack, and dump her corpse in the sea.

Xiao Feng showed her his phone chat log for a moment, comforting her panicked, helpless heart.

Then he squatted down to wipe away her tears, speaking gently: "It's fine, your family is very safe, you don't need to be afraid, just continue living here normally. I'm hungry—go make me something to eat."

"Really, really?" Su Ni choked up.

In just two or three minutes, her mood swung enormously, as if she had walked around the gates of hell.

Seeing the boss not angry, but instead helping her solve the problem and gently comforting her, a deep sense of gratitude welled up in her heart.

"Thank you, boss, I, I'll go cook right away!" She quickly got up, walked toward the kitchen, feeling a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

Xiao Feng saw she hadn't completely shaken off the fright, so he teased: "When cooking, just add salt—don't use your tears as seasoning."

Su Ni was made to laugh by his remark, quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her eyes, and then began to cook.
