"This little vixen really is a walking disaster."
Feeling the hostility from the people around him, Lin Feng muttered inwardly. Then, with a helpless look toward Cao Ying, he said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Cao."
"Hehe, it's just a small effort."
Seeing the helpless expression on his face, Cao Ying gave a charming smile. Her perfect figure moved slightly, and she was the first to fly toward a certain direction of the plaza. As for Lin Feng, his figure also shot out, closely following beside her.
"No wonder Mister Lin Feng hasn't come to discuss soul techniques with this little woman lately. So, it turns out you've been visiting your dear sister Dan Chen instead."
After flying for a while, Cao Ying suddenly descended among a cluster of wooden houses and spoke in a slightly resentful tone.
Seeing her start her act again, Lin Feng's lips twitched as he said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense. During that assessment last time, you nearly got me killed."
Just thinking about that incident made his scalp tingle—Xiao Yixian had almost drained him dry afterward. If not for his strong physique, he might've just died right there on the spot.
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel the urge to grab this woman right now and give that perky backside of hers a few hard slaps. This woman was seriously begging to be disciplined.
Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Cao Ying's charming smile grew even deeper. After all, she held grudges. Even though he hadn't done it on purpose, he had still used her name to make a splash in the Pill Region, and she naturally intended to get back at him for it.
"Right, where's my house?"
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the surrounding wooden huts as he asked.
Hearing that, Cao Ying rolled her beautiful eyes at him. If she were talking to any other man, they'd probably wish they could keep chatting with her forever—preferably right in bed.
But this Lin Feng actually seemed annoyed by her. Still, she pointed toward a wooden hut in the distance and said, "That one's your room."
Then she pointed to the hut on the left. "That one's mine. And as for the one on the right side of your room—that's Dan Chen's. If she doesn't have anything else to do, she usually bathes and goes to bed about an hour after sunset every night. Don't go sneaking over there for a night visit."
As she said that, Cao Ying tilted her charming face slightly and winked.
Hearing that, Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and countered, "I don't have that kind of thought, but judging from how familiar you are with Dan Chen's bathing schedule, you must've peeked quite a few times. However, if Miss Cao wants to watch me bathe, feel free to come through the front door—I'll let you watch all you like."
"Peh! Even if you paid me, I wouldn't!"
Cao Ying glared at him with her beautiful eyes and snapped.
"Then if I don't pay, make sure to come tonight," Lin Feng said with a laugh, teasing her.
"Hmph, you scoundrel!"
Cao Ying shot him one last glare and quickly left the place. After all, she could tell that she wasn't his match when it came to this kind of verbal sparring. So, she wisely chose to retreat.
"Hey, remember to come tonight!"
Seeing her flee, Lin Feng laughed loudly in the direction she left.
He still hadn't forgotten how she had tricked him before. He wasn't exactly known for his generosity, and now that he finally had the chance, of course he had to seize it and mercilessly tease the fallen beauty.
Meanwhile, Cao Ying, hearing his laughter, clenched her jade-like fists tightly in anger. She silently swore that she would definitely get even with him later.
On the other side, after finishing his laughter, Lin Feng strutted toward the hut Cao Ying had pointed out, looking like a proud rooster who'd just won a fight.
Creak~
He pushed the door open and stepped in, his gaze sweeping quickly around the room. He found that although the wooden hut wasn't luxurious, it was still equipped with a table, a bed, and everything else he needed. But he couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing.
"Right, how come I haven't seen that brat Xiao Yan around?"
He remembered that when he last saw Xiao Yan, the latter's soul power had already reached the level of a high-grade seventh-tier alchemist. According to common sense, he should already meet the conditions to enter the Small Pill Tower.
But just now, Lin Feng hadn't seen him anywhere. After quietly thinking for a moment, Lin Feng finally realized what was missing, and a question arose in his mind. "Could it be that guy went into seclusion, which is why I didn't see him?"
"Sigh, I should've asked Cao Ying about it earlier."
Lin Feng let out a soft sigh, feeling a little regretful for driving Cao Ying away so soon.
After all, he was still quite unfamiliar with the Small Pill Tower. If he'd asked her, he definitely could've learned a lot more useful information.
"Ah, forget it. I'll just ask tomorrow."
With that thought, Lin Feng jumped onto the bed in his room and began to meditate.
Knock knock~
When the sun completely disappeared beyond the horizon and darkness fell, the door to Lin Feng's room was suddenly knocked upon.
"Come in."
Hearing the sound, Lin Feng withdrew from his meditation and spoke toward the door.
Creak~
As the wooden door slowly opened, the sound echoed softly in the room, and a graceful figure stepped inside, bringing with her a faint, pleasant fragrance.
"Dan Chen, little sister, is there something you needed from me?"
When Lin Feng saw who it was, he was momentarily surprised, then stood up with a light smile.
"My brother gave me some magic cores. He said the next time I met you, I should pass them to you."
Dan Chen spoke softly, then gently brushed her slender jade-like fingers across the storage ring on her hand. With a faint flash of light, three golden spheres, each the size of a fist, suddenly appeared in the room.
Their glow immediately brightened the dim wooden hut. Seeing those gold-attributed magic cores, Lin Feng's eyes instantly lit up with joy.
With these magic cores, his Myriad Steel Tempering Technique could advance even further. Then he smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you, Dan Chen, for specially delivering these magic cores to me. Sit for a while before you go."
As he spoke, Lin Feng moved to the wooden table in the center of the room and pulled out a chair for her. After all, since Dan Chen had been in the Small Pill Tower for quite some time, she must know some things about Xiao Yan.
He had originally planned to ask Cao Ying tomorrow, but now that Dan Chen had shown up on her own, of course he would take the chance to ask her a few things he wanted to know.
Hearing him, Dan Chen's beautiful face flushed slightly red, and she replied softly, "It's nothing, just a small favor."
Saying that, she extended her jade-like hand and gently pushed the three golden magic cores toward Lin Feng.
At first, she had planned to leave right away, but remembering her brother's words about maintaining a good relationship with him, she hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to the chair and sat down.
"Dan Chen, little sister, I just arrived at the Small Pill Tower. Could you tell me what's been happening around here recently?"
Lin Feng sat across from her and asked in a gentle tone.
Hearing that, Dan Chen nodded, then lightly parted her pink lips and said, "Nothing much has happened in the Small Pill Tower lately. If I had to say something, a few days ago, one of our members was attacked by a Hall of Souls Dou Zun outside the Pill Region."
