Chapter 1345 - 1342: What Are You Doing? Improper Thoughts

"Luo Feng, what are you doing in Flame Gold City?"

Chi Wei looked at Luo Feng and lightly pursed her red lips, losing her previous arrogance, and her words even subtly revealed a hint of nervousness.

On that day in Azure Sky City, she wanted Luo Feng to apologize for the matter regarding Qing Ling, but ended up being severely humiliated, leaving behind the words: he could take her life at any time!

If it were before, Chi Wei naturally wouldn’t have taken such words to heart.

But after she witnessed Luo Feng defeating a True Yuan Realm second-level master with a mere wave, her thoughts immediately changed, harboring deep fear and hatred for Luo Feng.

Especially when she learned that Luo Feng achieved victory at the Southern and Northern Martial Arts Conference, becoming the number one in Canglang Dynasty, this fear became irrepressible.

For several nights, she couldn’t sleep, as if once she laid down, a gleaming blade would cut down from the void, often waking her up in fright.

These feelings gradually dissipated once she returned to the Dali Dynasty, but at this moment, seeing Luo Feng suddenly appear in Flame Gold City, Chi Wei immediately thought of the words Luo Feng said that night —

"If I want to kill you, I can do so at any time!"

The tone rang cold and chilling.

If it weren’t for the City Lord Mansion of Flame Gold City and the masters nearby, Chi Wei would have already used Qinggong to escape.

Luo Feng, unaware of the numerous thoughts flashing through Chi Wei’s mind in such a short time, said calmly, "I’m just passing through here."

The young lord of Flame Gold City, witnessing for the first time the imperial third princess acting this way, seemed quite surprised and asked, "Luo Feng? That name sounds familiar. Chi Wei, do you know them?"

Luo Feng’s words made Chi Wei breathe a sigh of relief, nodding and saying, "He’s the Hidden Dragon Marquis of Canglang Dynasty you mentioned before, now the First New Dragon Luo Feng."

Wow!

As Chi Wei’s words fell, murmurs erupted around, and everyone looked at Luo Feng with some surprise.

"So he’s Luo Feng, no wonder his strength is so great."

"I heard he joined the Golden Palace and in just one year became the First New Dragon. Recently, he even defeated the former number one of Canglang Dynasty, Cao Li, replacing him and causing quite a sensation. He’s already a legendary genius in Canglang Dynasty."

"To achieve today’s accomplishments after just a year in the Golden Palace, indeed, he deserves the term ’legend’. It seems his relationship with the third princess isn’t simple, who knows how today’s event will unfold."

Learning of Luo Feng’s identity, discussions emerged amongst those present.

"So you’re Luo Feng—hearing your fame didn’t do justice to meeting you in person. I am Qiu Yue, the young lord of Flame Gold City and also the leader of the Golden Sword Adventure Group."

The young man sized up Luo Feng with a light smile; Flame Gold City was a must-pass on Canglang Dynasty’s northern route, and he’d long heard of Luo Feng’s exploits, always curious.

Luo Feng nodded, choosing not to speak.

Qiu Yue cast a glance at Chi Wei and saw a trace of apprehension in her eyes looking at Luo Feng. He smiled at Luo Feng, saying, "It’s true, acquaintance can come through conflict. Luo Feng, earlier events were offending; why don’t I arrange a banquet as an apology. I hope you’ll attend, as a favor to me and the third princess."

"Luo Feng, beware of deceit."

Yue Haitang transmitted a message to Luo Feng, aware of Luo Feng’s enmity with Chi Wei; the current situation was indeed peculiar.

"I know."

Luo Feng nodded, smiling at Qiu Yue, "It’s an honor for the young lord to invite me; how could I refuse?"

He also wanted to see what Qiu Yue was planning; and even if there was deceit, given their combined strength, escape shouldn’t be an issue.

"Haha... good. Elder Teng, quickly make arrangements," Qiu Yue jubilantly instructed Elder Teng nearby.

"Leader, are you truly letting them go? If it weren’t for them, the Extreme Fire Screaming Dragon Silkworm...," Elder Teng glared at Luo Feng in discontent, feeling he was not as prominent in the Dali Dynasty, despite his distinction in Canglang Dynasty.

Qiu Yue frowned, "Didn’t you hear my words?"

His

Elder Teng’s complexion shifted, cupping his fists, "I spoke out of turn. I’ll prepare immediately."

Qiu Yue withdrew his gaze, transmitting to Chi Wei, "Chi Wei, are you satisfied with my arrangement?"

Chi Wei glanced at Luo Feng and nodded, "Qiu Yue, I owe you a favor."

"No need for that; I’m curious about Luo Feng too."

Qiu Yue smiled lightly, realizing his decision was correct as anticipated, as Chi Wei apparently didn’t intend to confront Luo Feng further; if pursued over the Extreme Fire Screaming Dragon Silkworm, she would inevitably be cornered.

Moreover, Qiu Yue had noticed: in Luo Feng’s group of five, apart from Luo Feng, there was another True Yuan Realm second-level martial artist and a True Yuan Realm fifth-level martial artist, while the other two were indistinct—but having safely traversed the Red Flame Desert, their strength was undoubtedly formidable; if relations soured, even retrieving the Extreme Fire Screaming Dragon Silkworm would come at a significant cost.

Comparing both options, the choice was simple; having more friends than enemies is preferable in the martial world.

Especially when the other party is a potent martial arts genius.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please!"

With a smile, Qiu Yue gestured invitingly.

"Be careful, let’s go."

Luo Feng whispered cautiously.

Xuelian’s eyes flickered with a trace of blood, her icy voice resounding in Luo Feng’s ear, "Rest assured, Master, if they harbor ill intentions, I’ll turn the entire Flame Gold City into a dead city."

As long as Luo Feng lived, so did Xuelian; if Luo Feng perished, Xuelian’s self-awareness would be erased, becoming a creature driven by mere instinct.

Luo Feng nodded and proceeded.

The banquet was set at Flame Gold City’s largest restaurant, the Purple Gold Building, with Qiu Yue, as the young lord, having reserved an exclusive courtyard.

The courtyard’s decor was exceptionally elegant, featuring artificial hills and green waters, pavilion terraces, lacking none, even with a garden planted with Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass to replenish Jing Qi Shen, offering a refreshing sight.

The banquet was quite lavish, serving the Purple Gold Building’s finest dishes.

Luo Feng remained vigilant, observing everyone’s expressions discreetly but failing to identify any suspicious behavior; it seemed, even perhaps to ease his doubts, each dish served was sampled by Qiu Yue first.

As they ate, they chatted, establishing some preliminary acquaintance.

Once satiated, Qiu Yue knew Luo Feng and the others had traveled far, thoughtfully requesting the attendant to arrange the five best suites for them to rest.

The luxury suites featured comfortable bedrooms and bathtubs, accompanied by a training room with a simple formation.

"Master, I sensed no hostility from Qiu Yue."

Xuelian didn’t return to her room; instead, after the attendant left, she entered Luo Feng’s room.

"I found nothing either, hoping he truly bears no ulterior motives. Otherwise..."

Luo Feng’s gaze chilled momentarily before shaking his head, asking Xuelian, "He’s arranged a room for you too, why are you here?"

Xuelian replied, "My original essence is within the master, making cultivation difficult if too distant..."

Luo Feng hadn’t anticipated this; though hoping to take a bath, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward.

Though Xuelian belonged to the Blood Demon clan, she was exceptionally alluring, and being alone with her, he couldn’t help some improper thoughts.

"I’ll cultivate in the training room; if you need anything, Master can call for me anytime."

The blood of the Extreme Fire Screaming Dragon Silkworm was overly potent, and Xuelian hadn’t yet fully refined it.

Watching Xuelian enter the training room, Luo Feng lightly exhaled, leaving it as the best option for now.

The bathroom featured a small pool filled with natural hot spring water, mist steaming, veiling the surroundings.

Luo Feng removed his clothing and dove into the water, splashing everywhere.

"That feels good."

Mired by travel, lounging in the warm pool relieved him to the point of moaning.

At that moment, footsteps sounded, and Xuelian opened the wooden door of the bathroom, entering.
