Chapter 381: Greatly Provoked

At this moment, Chu Feng's Divine Soul was already enveloping the area, monitoring for the slightest disturbance.

If anything happened, he would be the first to notice.

It was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop, so Chu Feng didn't have to worry.

"But can we really not tell even Senior Sister Bai Han? She's your senior sister, after all," Su Miaoke asked.

"Of course not. This Soul Cultivation Technique is extremely important. Besides you and me, no one else can know," Chu Feng said.

"Alright, I understand. I won't pry," Su Miaoke said, nodding.

She understood that Chu Feng was doing this for their own good.

'Besides, he most likely found this Soul Cultivation Skill for me. After all, Chu Feng doesn't need it himself.'

"I left so suddenly this time and wasn't there to protect you until the selection tournament was over. You're not mad at me, are you?" Chu Feng asked.

"Hmph. If I'd really died, so be it. You'd just be out a wife, anyway. But you're so powerful, you could find a new one anytime. There are plenty of beautiful women just waiting for you to pick one," Su Miaoke said with a cold snort.

In truth, Su Miaoke was a little upset about the matter.

"Hah, you think I'm an idiot? I arranged for Senior Sister Bai Han to look after you beforehand. Besides, if anyone dared to lay a hand on my wife, I'd slaughter their entire family!" Chu Feng declared.

"I know, I know. You have no idea how scared I was. If Senior Sister Bai Han hadn't arrived in time, the rest of us would have been finished," Su Miaoke said.

"Hahaha, don't you worry. I secretly placed a Divine Soul Mark on you. If some blind fool dared to make a move on you, their death would be certain." As he spoke, Chu Feng absorbed a wisp of the Divine Soul Mark from Su Miaoke's body.

"You can do that?" Su Miaoke was stunned.

She never expected Chu Feng to have left such a backup plan on her.

"Of course. Once your strength reaches a certain level, you'll be able to do it too," Chu Feng said.

"Then... am I just a burden to you? Honey... I feel like the gap between us is getting wider and wider. What am I going to do if I can't keep up with you in the future?" Su Miaoke said worriedly.

"Stop thinking nonsense. No matter how high my Cultivation gets, I'll still be your husband. I'll find a way to bring all of you up with me," Chu Feng said.

"Honey, you're the best." Hearing this, Su Miaoke's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

"Hahaha, of course! Back when I was just some poor guy, you never looked down on me. You gave me spending money, bought me all sorts of things... I was practically a kept man," Chu Feng said with a laugh.

"Hmph. Actually, I knew about all of that. I even met an old man. He approached me and asked if I would agree to be your wife. He said if I agreed, he could cure my terminal illness," Su Miaoke said.

As she spoke of this, Su Miaoke's eyes began to redden.

Back then, she had been utterly hopeless. It felt as if her life had no future, and her world was nothing but gray.

Just when she thought she was beyond saving, she suddenly saw a glimmer of hope—a lifeline she could grasp.

"I figured as much. Our meeting was fated. Otherwise, we're from two completely different worlds—how would our paths have ever crossed? But that's all in the past. You're my wife now, my legal wife," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"So you don't blame me?" Su Miaoke asked.

"Blame you for what? Why would I? My current achievements have a lot to do with you. Without you, I'd probably still be toiling away in some godforsaken corner," Chu Feng said.

In truth, whenever Chu Feng recalled those events, it all felt as ephemeral as a dream—a complete illusion.

"Alright, let's not dwell on it. Isn't what we have right now the best? Heaven will arrange everything for us. We just need to walk this path together," Chu Feng said softly, holding Su Miaoke.

"Mhm." Su Miaoke buried her head in Chu Feng's chest.

Then, she lifted her head and asked, "Oh, right, Honey, was that old man your master? Where did he go? How come I've never seen him again?"

Su Miaoke had always been very curious about this and had always wanted to ask.

But she had never found the right opportunity to do so.

"Him? Who knows how many years he's been dead. You won't be seeing him," Chu Feng said.

"Impossible. He was like an old Immortal—he could fly! How could he have died?" Su Miaoke said, shocked.

"How would I know? Even if he was an Immortal, so what? Perhaps even they must face death one day," Chu Feng said with a sigh.

"How can you be so callous? He was your master, after all." Su Miaoke was a little speechless.

"Because I don't know either. He himself said he was dead. But as for where he went or if he's truly dead, I honestly have no idea," Chu Feng said.

'In reality, Chu Feng had a feeling that the old fellow had most likely truly perished.'
