I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

Murong Xue did not reply immediately.

She stepped into the cave, her skirt swaying gently, and the faint fragrance of orchids wafted in with her.

Inside the cave, the candlelight was dim, casting long shadows of the two figures on the ground.

Murong Xue stopped five steps in front of Lin Feng and looked up at him.

A hint of guilt slowly rose on that stunning face.

"Lin Feng..."

She parted her lips slightly, her voice softening, even tinged with a hint of sob.

"What happened before was my fault... I shouldn't have said those things, and I shouldn't have treated you like that."

"At that time... I was just confused and said something like 'I won't marry a good-for-nothing'."

"I regretted it for a long time afterward, but I was too proud to tell you..."

As she said this, she looked up at Lin Feng, her usually cold eyes now faintly reddening.

"Only after learning that your cultivation has recovered did I finally muster the courage to come find you."

"Lin Feng, can you forgive me?"

As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer to Lin Feng, and a unique, feminine fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

It must be said that Murong Xue is extremely beautiful, and at a young age she already possesses an unparalleled elegance.

If it were before, Lin Feng would indeed want to have something happen between him and her.

But now, he feels only disgust.

After a pause, Lin Feng chuckled softly and said calmly, "Let bygones be bygones!"

"You've forgiven me?"

Murong Xue was immediately overjoyed and smiled, "For the past two months, I have been looking forward to the day when we can reconcile."

"Reconciliation?" Lin Feng frowned slightly. "Didn't the Holy Maiden already have a marriage agreement with Wang Long?"

"It's just a marriage contract, it doesn't count. You've always been the only one in my heart."

She paused, then winked at Lin Feng: "I have a gift for you this time."

"Gift?"

Lin Feng was taken aback.

Murong Xue flipped her hand, and a soft armor appeared out of thin air in her palm.

The soft armor was forged entirely from fine, milky-white scales, crystal clear and pure white, as if wisps of smoke floated around it, radiating a precious light.

Each scale is engraved with intricate patterns, which are array patterns left by the weapon refiner, possessing various enhancement effects.

Lin Feng glanced at it, and with his keen eyesight, he could easily tell that the quality of this soft armor had reached the Heavenly Rank, and its value was immeasurable.

"This armor is called the Flowing Cloud Armor. It is made from the finest scales on the belly of the Floating Cloud Beast. I obtained it from my father."

"Wearing this into the ring tomorrow will give you a better chance of winning."

Murong Xue held the soft armor in both hands and handed it to Lin Feng.

Her expression was sincere and earnest, and no one could find a single flaw in it.

Lin Feng sneered inwardly, but on his face he wore an expression of gratitude, declining, "Holy Maiden, this gift is far too precious; I cannot possibly accept it!"

"Feng, I still prefer you to call me Xue'er."

"No matter how precious the Flowing Cloud Armor is, it cannot compare to your place in my heart."

"Please accept it! Otherwise, you'll be being too polite."

Without saying a word, Murong Xue personally helped Lin Feng put on the armor.

Lin Feng stood there, letting her do as she pleased.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Murong Xue breathed hot air onto Lin Feng's neck.

Her pretty face inexplicably flushed, as if she had fallen in love.

After the armor was fully donned, Murong Xue took two steps back, carefully examined it for a moment, and said with a smile, "Not bad, the armor's style suits you quite well."

A perfectly measured expression of gratitude appeared on Lin Feng's face, and he said with a hint of emotion, "Xue'er, thank you so much!"

Murong Xue feigned annoyance: "Do we need to thank each other between us?"

After a moment's pause, she looked up at Lin Feng and said earnestly, "If you win first place tomorrow, I will marry you."

She said this so naturally, as if her engagement to Lin Feng had never been dissolved.

Lin Feng feigned surprise: "You trust me that much?"

Murong Xue remained silent, but gently tiptoed and placed a kiss on Lin Feng's lips.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it disappears in an instant.

"I'm leaving, so as not to disturb your cultivation."

She took a step back, looking at Lin Feng with tender eyes: "I look forward to your shining brightly tomorrow."

After saying that, she slowly turned around, and her white figure quickly disappeared into the night.

After walking a distance, a playful smile finally appeared on her lips.

"Even heroes have found it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman. No matter how strong you are, Lin Feng, won't you still fall at my feet?"

Little did he know that as soon as the stone door closed, Lin Feng wiped his lips with his sleeve with a look of disgust.

"I am not as naive as I was two months ago, when I was manipulated by you father and daughter."

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he sneered, "You want to use me? Then I won't be polite. Whatever treasures you send, I'll accept them all!"

Murong Xue's kiss left no ripple in Lin Feng's heart.

He raised his head, gazing at the bright moon outside the window, lost in thought.

"Why is there such a big difference between them, even though they are both women?"

For some reason, the image of Ye Jiuge and her delicate, alluring body on the bed popped into Lin Feng's mind.

A fire rose in his lower abdomen, and he licked his lips, saying, "I wonder what kind of surprise Sect Leader Ye will bring me next time he comes..."

……

On the other side, Murong Xue did not go far before turning around and arriving at a cliff by the roadside.

Under the bright moonlight, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back, facing the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

It was none other than Murong Yan, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect.

"father!"

Murong Xue stepped forward, her expression returning to its usual aloofness.

Murong Yan didn't turn around, and said calmly, "He accepted that soft armor?"

Murong Xue nodded slightly: "I accept it."

"Lin Feng didn't refuse?" Murong Yan asked, somewhat surprised. "After all, that's how you treated him back then."

"Father, he's just a hot-blooded young man. He's completely infatuated with me after I said a few nice words."

As she spoke, Murong Xue wore a smug expression.

Murong Yan laughed loudly, "Hahaha! You're right! No matter how capable this kid is, he can't escape your grasp, Xue'er!"

At this moment, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared between Murong Xue's brows.

"Dad, do you really think Lin Feng can beat Wang Long?"

"Wang Long is at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, three whole minor realms higher than him. Even with the Chaos Body, the difference in realms isn't so easy to bridge, is it?"

Murong Yan turned around, his voice calm.

"Xue'er, you are still too young."

"Just two Foundation Establishment stage brats. Whether I let them win or not is a simple matter of a flick of my finger."

Murong Xue was slightly taken aback, then a look of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"What Father means is..."

"No need to ask any more questions." Murong Yan waved his hand. "You just need to do what you're supposed to do. As for tomorrow's outcome..."

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "I have my own plans!"

"in addition--"

His expression suddenly turned serious: "You must keep a close watch on Lin Feng and never let him develop any disloyal thoughts."

"The fate of our Qingyun Sect for the next hundred years rests on his shoulders."

"Father, don't worry!"

Murong Xue gave a cold laugh and said, "The prey that I, Murong Xue, have set my sights on will never escape my grasp!"

……

Meanwhile, in another cave...

This cave dwelling is much more spacious than Lin Feng's Cloud Hidden Cave; it is the exclusive residence of Gu Niantong, the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect.

Deep within the cave, candlelight flickered.

Wang Long stood below, bowing respectfully.

Gu Niantong sat at the head of the table, his vigorous old face filled with a solemn expression.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you any further."

Wang Long straightened up, his expression calm: "Master, rest assured, Lin Feng is nothing to worry about. The gap of three minor realms cannot be bridged by a Chaos Body alone."

Gu Niantong did not respond.

He pondered for a long time before taking out a jade bottle from his sleeve.

The jade bottle was dark green all over, with fine sealing patterns engraved on its body, and faint, violent spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from its mouth.

"This is the Berserk Pill."

Gu Niantong handed the jade bottle to Wang Long with a solemn expression.

"After taking it, you will increase your cultivation level by two minor realms within an hour."

"However, this elixir is extremely potent, and one will need to rest for at least half a month afterward to recover their strength."

Wang Long took the jade bottle, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Master, is this really necessary?"

He looked up at Gu Niantong, his tone somewhat dismissive.

"Better safe than sorry."

Gu Niantong's tone left no room for argument, and his gaze fell on Wang Long like a knife.

"I saw the fight in the square today very clearly. Lin Feng's palm strike was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface."

"This kid has been reborn after being destroyed, and he is even more troublesome than before."

He paused, his voice becoming even deeper.

"Besides, you saw the sect leader's attitude today. The reason he agreed to the life-or-death duel is definitely not because he values ​​you."

"What he values ​​is Lin Feng!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Long's expression finally changed, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"The sect leader..."

"Don't overthink it!"

Gu Niantong waved his hand.

"In tomorrow's life-or-death battle, you only need to go all out and kill Lin Feng."

"With the Berserk Pill in hand, even if that kid has some trump card, he has no chance of turning the tables."

Wang Long took a deep breath and solemnly put the jade bottle into his storage ring.

He stepped back and bowed deeply to Gu Niantong.

"Master! Tomorrow, your disciple will definitely take Lin Feng's life!"
