I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

"court death!"

Situ Changkong was furious. He was the young master of the Situ family, always surrounded by admirers wherever he went. He had never been compared to a fly.

A violent aura suddenly erupted from his body!

Sixth level of the Purple Mansion Realm!

Such cultivation is already among the best of his generation, enough to make him stand out from the crowd.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent, his five fingers formed into claws, carrying a sharp gust of wind, as he was about to viciously grab Chu Feng's head! He wanted to crush this ignorant peasant's head right in front of Shangguan Liuli!

However, his hand had not yet touched Chu Feng at all.

Om-!

An equally powerful, yet even colder and purer aura swept out from Shangguan Liuli's body, forming an invisible barrier that instantly blocked Chu Feng's path.

boom!

Situ Changkong's claw strike collided with that aura and was instantly shattered. He himself was so shaken that his blood and qi surged, and he staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

"Liuli, you..." Situ Changkong looked at Shangguan Liuli with a mixture of shock and anger.

Shangguan Liuli's pretty face was frosty, and for the first time, her clear and cold phoenix eyes showed undisguised disgust and warning.

"Situ Changkong, if you dare to lay a finger on him, don't blame me for being impolite!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

The proud daughter of the Shangguan family actually dared to publicly turn against the young master of the Situ family, one of the four top powers, for the sake of an unknown man.

Who exactly is this man?

Countless curious, inquisitive, and envious gazes instantly focused on Chu Feng.

"Why?!" Situ Changkong's face was contorted with extreme anger and resentment. He pointed at Chu Feng and roared at Shangguan Liuli, "Liuli! What do I lack compared to this wild brat who popped out of nowhere? Why are you protecting him like this?!"

"Kid, if you've got the guts, don't hide behind a woman!" He turned to Chu Feng and roared, "If you're a man, come out here and fight me fair and square!"

However, Chu Feng merely yawned lazily and glanced at Situ Changkong with the look of someone looking at a clown.

"Fight you? You're not worthy!"

These four simple words were more lethal than any vicious curse, piercing Situ Changkong's pitiful pride.

"Ah—! I'm going to kill you!"

Situ Changkong went completely mad, no longer caring about his composure. His spiritual power surged, and he was about to rush forward without regard for anything else.

Seeing that Situ Changkong was still relentless, Shangguan Liuli's eyes grew even colder: "Are you really going to force me to take action?"

She knew perfectly well that if she didn't intervene and let Chu Feng handle the situation personally, given his lawless nature, he would show no regard for the Situ family. In that case, Situ Changkong wouldn't even be left with a complete corpse!

Just as the atmosphere at the scene was tense and ready to explode.

"Get out of the way!"

Another cold, stern voice rang out, and an even larger group pushed through the crowd and slowly approached.

The guards of this team were all dressed in silver-white armor, exuding a chilling aura. At the head of the team was a magnificent carriage pulled by two giant, snow-white ice crystal wolves.

"They're from the Cold Moon Sect, the top of the ten first-rate powers!"

"Heavens! That... that person, could it be the young lady of the Cold Moon Sect, Gong Bingning?"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

The beaded curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white palace attire, with an aura as cold as ancient ice, slowly stepped down.

Her beauty was unparalleled, her skin as white as snow, and her eyes seemed devoid of any emotion. Just by standing there quietly, she made the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.

The moment this woman appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of all the men present. Even the madness in Situ Changkong's eyes was replaced by a moment of amazement.

"I've actually seen two of the four beauties of Cangxuan Prefecture today! This trip was truly worthwhile!"

"Indeed! Shangguan Liuli of the Shangguan family is as pure and aloof as the moon; Gong Bingning of the Hanyue Sect is as cold and beautiful as ice. Each has her own unique charm, and both are peerless beauties!"

"I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet the legendary beauty, the most beautiful senior student in our Cangxuan Academy, who is said to be the most beautiful of the four great beauties. She is truly peerless in her beauty!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Gong Bingning's gaze swept across the entire room indifferently. When she saw Shangguan Liuli, she merely nodded slightly as a greeting.

However, at that moment...

Beside Gong Bingning, a similarly beautiful girl's face darkened the moment she saw Chu Feng, her eyes flashing with endless resentment and anger.

"It's him!"

The girl's sharp voice broke the silence of the conversation.

Gong Bingning's cool gaze swept over, carrying a hint of inquiry: "What's wrong, Xing'er?"

The girl called Xing'er is the same girl who fought Chu Feng in the Valley of the Demon Burial and escaped at the end!

She pointed her delicate finger at Chu Feng, her voice trembling with emotion: "Sister! It's this bastard! Back in the Demon Burial Valley, he was the one who tried to steal my mount, and... he almost killed me!"

boom!

Upon hearing this, a terrifying killing intent, enough to freeze the soul, instantly erupted from Gong Bingning's icy eyes!

A terrifying chill, many times stronger than that of Situ Changkong before, instantly locked onto Chu Feng like a storm!

Countless fine ice crystals suddenly condensed in the surrounding air.

Chu Feng also noticed the girl. He never expected to run into her here. What a small world!

At this moment, Shangguan Liuli frowned and looked at Chu Feng: "Young Master Chu, do you also have a grudge against the Second Miss of the Cold Moon Sect?"

"I guess so, she almost died at my hands!" Chu Feng said, pursing his lips.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Liuli was completely stunned.

At this moment, Gong Bingning's gaze was like two invisible ice swords piercing Chu Feng, her voice icy and devoid of any emotion: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! I'd recognize him even if he were ashes!" the girl said through gritted teeth.

Swish!

The moment the words left her lips, Gong Bingning's figure vanished from the spot without warning.

The next moment, she appeared in front of Chu Feng, a short sword made of extreme ice condensing in her slender hand, which she mercilessly stabbed towards Chu Feng's heart!

"You almost killed my sister before?"

"That's right." Chu Feng said indifferently, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Luckily, she escaped quickly."

This nonchalant reply completely ignited Gong Bingning's anger!

"Then you should die!"

The ice sword pierced the air, its killing intent palpable!

However, just as the ice sword was about to pierce Chu Feng's chest!

"clang!"

A clear, metallic clang rang out.

Shangguan Liuli appeared in front of Chu Feng at some point, holding a soft sword in her hand, precisely blocking Gong Bingning's ice sword.

The two equally powerful auras collided violently, and the resulting shockwaves forced everyone around them to retreat.

Shangguan Liuli and Gong Bingning each floated back several feet, facing each other from a distance.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

Gong Bingning's icy eyes were fixed on Shangguan Liuli: "Shangguan Liuli, are you going to protect him?"

"Young Master Chu is my friend." Shangguan Liuli held her longsword firmly, her voice equally resolute. "To harm him is to make an enemy of the Shangguan family!"
