Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 230 On the Eve of the Decisive Battle

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the day before the life-or-death battle with Yuan Tong.

On this day, Luo Qingfeng did not expend any more energy.

After breakfast, he went to the North Courtyard and met Zhang Cuicui, Lin Yun, and the others.

These people were discussing the life-or-death battle tomorrow in the training ground. When they saw him arrive, they hurriedly tried to persuade him with concern.

"Senior Brother Luo, the Vice Dean and Deacon Liang both came to see us yesterday, hoping that we, as friends, could persuade you. Yuan Tong has been at the Star Transformation Realm for several years now, and his cultivation is unfathomable. He also possesses a rare treasure from the Yuan family. It would be unwise for Senior Brother Luo to engage in a life-or-death battle with him at this time."

"Yes, with Senior Brother Luo's talent for cultivation, if we wait another year or two until his cultivation advances further, that will be a good opportunity to kill him."

Several people tried to persuade him.

Liang Feng said, "Senior Brother Luo, once we step onto the life-or-death arena, it will inevitably come to a fight to the death. You are a genius disciple of our North Academy, and you are so young. It's really not worth it for you to fight Yuan Tong to the death. Why don't you listen to everyone's advice, temporarily avoid the limelight, and withdraw from the battle? Don't worry, Senior Brother Luo, the Vice Dean and several elders will speak to you and will naturally find a good reason. Even if Yuan Tong disagrees, he won't be able to do anything about it."

He then added, "If Senior Brother Luo feels that his sudden withdrawal might cause criticism from other disciples, there's no need to worry. Let them mock and ridicule us for now. When Senior Brother Luo makes further progress and crushes Yuan Tong, their mockery and ridicule will naturally disappear."

Lin Yun also spoke up, "Given Senior Brother Luo's current age and cultivation level, no disciple would dare to mock him. In both the South and North Academies, no one's cultivation talent can compare to Senior Brother Luo's. What right do they have to ridicule him?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Zhang Cuicui also came out with a worried expression, trying to persuade him: "Senior Brother Luo, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family. What will they do if something happens to you?"

Luo Qingfeng listened silently at first without interrupting. After everyone had finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow disciples. I may have acted impulsively in this matter, but now that things have come to this, I can't back down. The contract has been signed, and I'm prepared. Whether I live or die tomorrow, I will accept it calmly."

Despite everyone's attempts to persuade him, Luo Qingfeng firmly stated, "I have already made my decision, so please, fellow disciples, do not try to dissuade me any further."

Everyone sighed inwardly upon seeing this.

Luo Qingfeng chatted with the others for a while before leaving the training ground.

Seeing him leave, Liang Feng and the others shook their heads and sighed again.

"Alas, Senior Brother Luo is still too young. If he were a few years older, he wouldn't be so impulsive. That Yuan Tong deliberately made it known to the whole world, just to force Senior Brother Luo not to go back on his word. In fact, even if he did go back on his word, the other party wouldn't dare to do anything. At worst, he would just lose some reputation, which is better than—sigh—"

"Senior Brother Luo is in a difficult situation."

Just then, someone suddenly said, "Do you think Senior Brother Luo's cultivation speed is so fast? Could he have already secretly broken through to the mid-stage of the Star Transformation Realm?"

There was a moment of silence after these words were spoken.

"That can't be right. It's already incredible that Senior Brother Luo was able to break through to the Star Transformation Realm in such a short time. How could he have broken through again in just a few days?"

"I also think it's unlikely. If he were to break through again, he would be too monstrous."

At this moment, Zhang Cuicui sighed and said, "Even if Senior Brother Luo really breaks through to the mid-stage of the Star Transformation Realm again, he is still no match for Yuan Tong. After all, Yuan Tong has been at the mid-stage of the Star Transformation Realm for several years, and he has the full support of the Yuan family, so he must have many treasures on him. According to the rules of the Life and Death Arena, once you are on the Life and Death Arena, you can use any means to kill your opponent, but Senior Brother Luo can only rely on himself."

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed and nodded, "That's true."

Meanwhile, Luo Qingfeng had arrived at the vice dean's courtyard. Many high-ranking officials from the North Academy had come to persuade him to give up tomorrow's decisive battle.

However, Luo Qingfeng's attitude was firm: "I will absolutely not back down in tomorrow's battle!"

After much persuasion, seeing that they could not change his mind, they had no choice but to ask Huoman for help in persuading him.

Because after Huo Man returned from the other dimension, she immediately told them that she had slept with Luo Qingfeng and that the two were now husband and wife.

Since they are already husband and wife, it is natural for the wife to persuade him.

To everyone's surprise, Huo Manlai said with a stern face, "I won't try to persuade him. He has three wives and four concubines outside and doesn't treat me like his wife at all. If he wants to go to his death tomorrow, let him go."

Then he began angrily recounting Luo Qingfeng's philandering, talking about his wife Ye Ying, his sister-in-law, then the Third Miss Dong, and finally Zhang Cuicui and the other female disciples of the North Courtyard.

Heaven help me, Luo Qingfeng didn't even exchange a few words with those female disciples.

Huo Man spoke with great conviction, even claiming that he had lured those female disciples home and played the game of "one dragon and three phoenixes" at home.

The vice dean and others called her over, originally hoping she could help persuade Luo Qingfeng to give up tomorrow's life-or-death battle. But seeing her talking about these things, they were all speechless.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qingfeng quickly pretended to be ashamed and hurriedly retreated.

Liang Lizhi was about to stop her, but Huo Man grabbed his sleeve and said, "Deacon Liang, I heard that you're the one who brought this lecherous fellow into the North Courtyard. You have to stand up for me!"

Liang Lizhi: "————"

Luo Qingfeng returned directly to his cave and went into seclusion to cultivate.

It was evening.

He first left his body to check outside, and only after seeing that no one was there did he leave the cave and walk towards the main gate.

He was about to face death on the arena tomorrow, and he didn't want anyone to disturb his peace of mind today.

To his surprise, Zhang Cuicui was waiting for him at the gate. Upon seeing him, she quickly said, "Senior Brother Luo, don't misunderstand. I'm waiting for you here not to persuade you. I know your mind is made up, and no amount of persuasion will change it. I just—"

She sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I'm just a little worried about Senior Brother Luo, and I want to talk to him."

Luo Qingfeng looked at her gently and said, "What do you want to say? I'm listening."

Zhang Cuicui paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "I had so much to say, but when I saw Senior Brother Luo, I didn't know what to say. I—"

She had intended to confess her feelings tonight, and although she had already anticipated the outcome, she felt that if she didn't say it tonight, she might never have another chance.

"Senior Brother Luo, actually—"

She mustered her courage and was about to speak when she suddenly saw a figure walking out of the front door. So she swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Huo Man came out from the main gate and stood not far away, arms crossed, looking at her coldly.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to tell Senior Brother Luo to be careful tomorrow. I believe Senior Brother Luo will definitely succeed."

Zhang Cuicui smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Then I won't bother Senior Brother Luo any longer."

After saying that, she turned and left.

That slender figure, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, appeared rather forlorn.

"Tsk tsk, is she planning to ask you to take her as a concubine?"

Huo Man approached Luo Qingfeng, her tone full of sarcasm and her face full of disdain.

Luo Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and looked at her, saying, "I need to rest and recharge at home tonight, so I won't be going to your place."

Men Huoman shrugged and said, "Whatever, you've always been ungrateful anyway."

Luo Qingfeng immediately said solemnly, "Senior Sister, I will never forget your kindness."

"What did you call me?"

Huo Man's expression turned cold.

Luo Qingfeng's lips twitched, and he immediately corrected her: "Aman."

During this time, the two cultivated in the room. Whenever they were immersed in their cultivation and couldn't contain their excitement, Luo Qingfeng would affectionately call her "Aman, Aman," and this proud Holy Maiden of the Blazing Fire Clan would call him "Good Brother, Good Brother" in a sweet voice like a gentle kitten.

The two whispered to each other as they rapidly cultivated, their love as deep as glue.

"Hmph, wagging its tail and begging for affection in bed, but pretending not to know you in public. Isn't that ungrateful?"

Huo Man looked down on it.

Luo Qingfeng protested, "How could I pretend not to know you?"

Besides, it's you, the proud and holy young lady, who's the one wagging your tail and fawning over me in bed, okay? Sometimes you even wag your tail and beg while calling out in a coquettish voice, "Good brother, good brother, I want more, I want more—"

Thinking back to that scene, and then looking at the girl's arrogant expression and tone now, Luo Qingfeng felt as if they were not the same person.

Huo Man said angrily, "I helped you get rid of those elders, and you don't even thank me."

Luo Qingfeng asked with a puzzled look, "Do I need to be grateful for this?"

Huo Man immediately glared at him and said, "Why don't I need it?"

Luo Qingfeng spread his hands and said, "Do we need to be grateful to each other? Only outsiders need to be grateful to each other. Do we need to be so formal with each other?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Man's anger subsided immediately. Her lips twitched slightly, but she was unwilling to lower herself and still haughtily snorted, "Even between family members, sometimes gratitude is necessary. How can I know your feelings if you don't say it?"

Luo Qingfeng said seriously, "I was planning to show my gratitude to you properly in your room when I go to your house. You just said a couple of days ago, 'Good brother, if you want to thank me, you should come here and show your gratitude with your actions—', right?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Man blushed and felt somewhat embarrassed, even though she was usually very outgoing. After all, she would only say these things when she was in the throes of passion in bed. To hear them said in public by this guy, even though no one else was listening, made her quite ashamed.

She was the high and mighty Holy Maiden of the Fire Clan, and she would never lower herself to call him "good brother"!

"Hmph! I'm going back to my residence. I'll come find you tonight!"

She didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Why did you come to see me tonight? I need to get some rest tonight."

"I'll protect you!"

Huo Man said something and quickly left.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

Tomorrow is the day of life and death. Given Yuan Tong's cunning and shrewdness, even if the other side thinks they will win tomorrow, they might still do something tonight.

He crossed the bridge while thinking about it.

He bought some vegetables at the market and had just walked to the middle of a small alley when he suddenly stopped.

A figure appeared in front of and behind the alley.

Without any hesitation, Luo Qingfeng immediately flashed forward.

"boom!"

A sudden explosion occurred ahead!

Immediately, a black fist-shaped beam of light spun and shot towards him!

At the same time, a sword aura descended from above, preventing him from leaping upwards.

Both of them were actually at the Star Transformation Realm!

Seeing the black fist-shaped aura flying towards him at high speed, Luo Qingfeng had no way to dodge, so he immediately swung his fist and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Luo Qingfeng's body jolted and he was sent flying backward!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the street outside the alley.

It must be said that Wangxing City is now heavily guarded. As soon as the first fist aura stirred up a ripple, the patrol team outside noticed the commotion and immediately led their men over.

The two assassins exchanged a glance, and without any hesitation, they immediately leaped up, landing on the rooftops on either side and departing in different directions.

Luo Qingfeng stood still, touched his fist, and slowly dissipated the concealment technique within his body.

The breath-concealing technique that Senior Bai taught him has come in handy again.

The two assassins did not intend to kill him, but rather to probe his true cultivation level. Just now, he did as they wished, throwing a punch that revealed his cultivation level, which was only at the early stage of the Star Transformation Realm.

As expected, even though Yuan Tong was in the mid-stage of the Star Transformation Realm and had various rare treasures at his disposal, he was still not at ease.

At that moment, the patrol team rushed into the alley.

Luo Qingfeng took out his Demon Suppression Academy disciple's waist token and briefly described what had just happened.

The patrol captain, a burly young man, looked up at the roof with a serious expression upon hearing this, asked a few more questions, and then let him leave.

At this moment, their primary concern is the monsters; personal grudges are none of their business.

Luo Qingfeng returned home safely.

Dong Miaomiao and Aya were learning to read in the courtyard when they saw him return and quickly went into the kitchen to help.

Dong Miaomiao said solicitously, "Sir, you should rest. Tomorrow you will be facing the life-or-death stage, so you can't overexert yourself. Let me and Sister Aya cook for you tonight."

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to wash the vegetables, Dong Miaomiao snatched them away again, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "Sir, you have to listen to me! Go, lie on the bed and don't move. Let me and Sister Aya do the work."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her, and just as he was about to speak, Aya came over and nudged him, telling him to leave.

Helpless, Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to leave the kitchen and say to the kitchen, "Put less salt in."

He really didn't trust those two girls to cook.

Dong Miaomiao said from inside, "Oh? Sister Aya, the master thinks our noodles are too salty. Humph, we'll eat them ourselves and not give him any."

Luo Qingfeng ignored her and returned to the house. He checked the stars in his body and the meridians and acupoints, and then used his internal energy to examine them.

As it was getting dark, the two little girls finally finished preparing dinner.

"Sir, please try this. This is what I made, and this is what Sister Aya made. Let's see whose is better."

After Dong Miaomiao finished speaking, she brought over a bowl of egg noodles and said with a smile, "Sir, guess again, who made this bowl of noodles?"

After tasting each one, Luo Qingfeng nodded and praised, "They're all pretty good, but this noodle dish is a bit bland. You must have made it, right?"

Dong Miaomiao exclaimed, "How could that be? I just tasted it with my finger, how could it be bland?"

As he spoke, he reached out to dip his finger in the water.

Luo Qingfeng flicked her finger away with his chopsticks and said, "It's alright, it's just right with the food. Let's eat."

Dong Miaomiao was a little unhappy: "She is a well-bred young lady who took the initiative to cook for her husband, but he didn't even praise her much and was complaining about everything."

Luo Qingfeng said, "I don't mind."

As he spoke, he quickly praised her a few more times.

Dong Miaomiao finally smiled and said, "As long as you treat me well, I'll cook for you every day from now on."

While eating, Luo Qingfeng asked, "What does it mean to be good to you?"

Dong Miaomiao sat down and said, "Don't be mean to people, don't hit their heads, and don't chase them away. That's all you need to do."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her and said, "As long as you listen to me, I naturally won't yell at you or hit you."

Dong Miaomiao retorted indignantly, "Why isn't it the teacher who listens to me?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I am the teacher."

Dong Miaomiao scoffed, "I'm still the senior sister!"

Luo Qingfeng clenched his fist and asked, "Whose fist is bigger?"

Not to be outdone, Dong Miaomiao puffed out her chest: "Whose breasts are bigger?"

".——

Luo Qingfeng almost spat out the noodles in his mouth, glared at her and said, "What's the use of having big breasts? Besides, yours aren't even that big."

Dong Miaomiao snorted, "Anyway, it's bigger than yours!"

He then asked, "What's the use of having a big fist?"

Luo Qingfeng raised his fist and said to her, "My fist is big enough to knock you down, or even make you kneel."

Dong Miaomiao puffed out her chest proudly and said, "Having big breasts can still make you kneel down, and make you bend over, right? Ah—Sir! You hit me on the head again!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll rip your tongue out!"

Luo Qingfeng reprimanded him with a stern face.

Dong Miaomiao covered her head, stuck out her little tongue, and pouted, saying, "A gentleman uses words, not fists. The gentleman couldn't win an argument, so he started hitting people. Shameless! Humph!"

Luo Qingfeng pretended to hit her again.

Dong Miaomiao quickly picked up her bowl, sat down next to Aya, and poked her head out, saying, "He's very magnanimous and won't hold it against the bad gentleman. Sir, eat well and rest well; we have a duel tomorrow."

Luo Qingfeng rolled her eyes at her and said, "Just don't be angry with me."

"Hehe, please eat, sir. I know I was wrong."

Dong Miaomiao chuckled and, with a forced smile, stood up to serve him some food.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again, and after a moment, he said, "When the time comes, I will take Aya away from here."

Dong Miaomiao didn't say anything more.

Aya turned to look at her, her small hand under the table gently grasping hers, her expression somber.

After finishing his meal, Luo Qingfeng cleaned up the dishes and went back to his room.

After the water in the pot was heated, he went to the kitchen to prepare to take a bath. Just as he was taking off his clothes, a noise suddenly came from the roof.

Meanwhile, Dong Miaomiao and Aya were whispering privately in the room.
