Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

How did the toad even manage to say such shameless words? Chu Feng felt as if he were struck by lightning.

After hearing these words, the peerless beauty said calmly, "Mn, there was once a time where I was considering if I should castrate that fiance of mine."

What?!

Not to mention Chu Feng, even Ouyang Feng the toad tightened his thighs and edged back a little bit. What situation was this? Why was it completely different from one’s imagination?

The toad was distressed. It seemed he had wormed his way in for nothing. It was like a confessing one’s love to the wrong person.

"This... sister immortal, since that’s the case, you don’t need to hold back if you want to vent your anger!" the toad said while glancing sideways at Chu Feng.

"Bang!"

Chu Feng stomped the fraudulent toad beneath his feet and stopped it from speaking nonsense. It just had to try and worm his way into a friendship with the lady but had stirred up trouble instead.

Chu Feng himself was somewhat embarrassed and puzzled. Was this sister’s fiance that vile?

"Sister, appearances can’t be controlled. It’s given to me by my parents and the heavens. Some people will definitely look similar, but their characters will be vastly different." Chu Feng stressed this because he didn’t want to be targeted out of the blue and become the object of her hate.

The lady said, "Strictly speaking, you and he are only similar in that smile. When my family first arranged our meeting, I felt that his smile was too evil and felt quite repulsed."

"A despicable smile!" the toad added from beneath Chu Feng’s foot.

"Indeed!" The lady nodded. She herself couldn’t speak such words, but she agreed with the toad’s statement.

Chu Feng hurriedly stepped harder on the toad. This fraud was always supporting the opposite party so fervently. He really wanted to stomp it to death!

"In truth, I only felt repulsed at first. Later on, I found that he wasn’t so bad," the lady added.

Chu Feng let go of the toad and faced this city toppling lady with a smile. "I’m inherently fond of smiling."

What a cheap move! The toad cursed. It felt that Chu Feng’s smile was fairly despicable.

Afterwards, it began to get some crooked ideas and said, "Sister immortal, since Chu Feng looks so similar to your old friend, you should let him stay by your side and have him listen to your command."

Goddammit! Chu Feng really wanted to curse the toad. These words were too difficult to hear. How immoral! This fraudulent toad was truly undependable at the critical juncture.

The lady tilted her head and glanced at Chu Feng and the toad in turn. "A little bit similar but he’s not as handsome as my fiance, as intelligent, or as gifted in evolution."

Chu Feng really wanted to roll his eyes. This sister really didn’t care about how people felt. How could she attack him like this? He was truly dissatisfied.

He felt himself to be quite good. He was confident that, if he were in the same era as that person, he would be able to stomp that man under his feet and render him unable to retaliate.

At the same time, he felt that this kingdom toppling beauty’s words were shifting all the time. At first, she said Chu Feng resembled her fiance. In the end, when he and the toad wanted to get closer to her, they heard a terrifying word like castration. But later on, when he and the toad extricated themselves from this topic, it seemed as if she admired the man quite a bit later on.

The toad began to engage in more shamelessness. "The dead have passed away. Sister Fairy, you should forget about the sad things. Perhaps your meeting with Chu Feng is destined. Maybe the heavens sent him to you."

It was one of those rare occasions in which it wasn’t undermining Chu Feng. He was even promoting him.

The lady was astonished and said, "My fiance is still alive. It should be rather difficult for him to die."

"Ah?!" The toad was sent into a daze. It felt that it had messed up again, "After all this time, he’s... still alive?!"

The lady said indifferently, "His master was exceptionally powerful. He personally took action and brought my fiance away. After so many years, even he might have evolved to an extreme level. Perhaps he might even become a member of the heaven illuminators."

The toad stared with wide eyes and was shocked silly.

Chu Feng also drew in a breath of cold air. That man was truly powerful—the level he was at was excessively frightening. This was a terrifying entity who could roam unhindered through the starry skies.

"Sister Fairy, you always keep shifting your words. I really don’t know your stance regarding that person." The toad dropped his head dejectedly after several failed attempts at boot-licking.

"That person can be considered a heavenly talent," the lady commented.

This evaluation was quite high and not something ordinary geniuses could compare to. Such an evaluation coming from her mouth meant that this person was truly heaven-defying and extraordinary.

Perhaps he was an extremely talented entity who was able to look down on and suppress a whole era.

Chu Feng spoke, "This man is not true to you! Sister, when I first saw you, you were suppressed under the ancestral court while your fiance is shining brightly in the cosmos. Not to mention back then, didn’t he come to find you even after things had settled? Is drawing such a clear line?"

"It’s complicated. I don’t want to mention old things anymore." The lady’s expression was indifferent.

"The past is like the east-flowing river. There’s nothing there to reminisce. From now on, we will help you regain your former glory!" The toad began to boast once again.

Additionally, it secretly sent a message to Chu Feng. "Don’t say I didn’t help you. You smile is just as despicable as that person. Smile all the time and maybe you’ll get the position."

Plop! Bang! Dong!

Chu Feng immediately beat up the toad and warned it not to speak without thinking. This sister was too powerful. This so-called telepathy might not be reliable before her. She might be able to hear everything.

"Yes, you’re right. I can hear all your telepathic messages very clearly." The lady nodded.

The toad was dazed! It really wanted to bang its head on the ground.

Chu Feng was also wiping his sweat. This person was outrageously powerful and nothing could be hidden before her. So much that he had suspicions whether this sister had cultivated the art of reading minds. Or else why did she always seem to know what they were thinking?

This lady of near-ephemeral beauty glanced at Chu Feng and said, "I’ll give you one chance."

The toad was even more excited than Chu Feng after hearing this. He was full of expectations—did this lady really think favorably of Chu Feng?

The lady glanced at Chu Feng and said, "I don’t want the diamond chakram or the divine beast. I’ll give them to you. From now on, you are mine."

"Brother-in-law!" The toad rushed towards Chu Feng and shouted excitedly. It felt that it had found a powerful backing and was destined to evolve rapidly.

The lady shot a sidelong glance at the toad and moved for the first time. She flicked her finger through the air and shot out a beam of light which landed on the toad. It immediately and irreversibly distorted its mouth and eyes.

This was likely a warning. She then glanced at Chu Feng and said, "Your lineage can be considered to have descended from my territory. If you’re willing, you can count as one of my people."

"Eh... this... Can I consider it for a while?" Chu Feng was completely unwilling. If even his person belonged to her, how could his things escape her grasp?

He had a feeling that this excessively beautiful lady was cheating him. It was best not to jump about without careful thought.

"Oh gosh, oh mommy! What’s wrong with me?!" the toad cried miserably. Its facial features were distorted and couldn’t be restored no matter how hard it tried.

"This is just a small punishment. It’ll disappear after a hundred years," said the lady.

The toad’s face almost turned green upon hearing this. This condition would continue for a whole hundred year?! How was he supposed to meet people like this?!

Chu Feng brought up the history of the earth and wanted to ask her what exactly had happened, but the lady shook her head and told him that his level wasn’t high enough. She told him not to become infected by the past or else a mortal calamity would befall him despite being separated by a long period of time.

She no longer said anything else and Chu Feng found it difficult to press the matter.

Following which, the lady got up to leave but the passionate toad invited her saying to enjoy the peerless delicacies. It was going all out with the bootlicking in hopes that she would revert his appearance.

Chu Feng also asked her to stay and, in the end, she nodded.

Later on, Yellow Ox, the black yak, the Manchurian Tiger, and the old donkey were let inside, followed by Du Huaijin, Ouyang Qing, and the rest.

Chu Feng produced the ingredients from his Pristine Jade Bottle and handed it over to the staff for cooking. He told them that he was going to entertain a most honorable guest and requested the chef to display his superb abilities.

After Chu Feng rushed back into the private room, he found the Manchurian Tiger and the black yak were talking delightfully and solicitously. The only thing left was for them to express their love at first sight.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Feng the toad stayed silent while stifling its own laughter, watching the other two act cocky.

Chu Feng was immediately distressed. He quickly shouted at the black yak and the Manchurian Tiger not to court the lady any longer.

"Brother, we’ve agreed before that we will compete fairly. I, your brother, haven’t been moved for hundreds of years after my heart broke on the Qingzang Steppes. You can’t be this tyrannical!"

"That’s right, Brother Chu. I feel that my second springtime has arrived. I’m feeling my youth and vitality flourishing. Don’t try to mess things up!"

The two bastards thought they were quite favorable and wanted to compete with Chu Feng.

"Two brothers, this person came from the Taoist Capital—she’s the one from Mount Longhu!" Not only was Chu Feng direct but also detailed in his explanation.

Both the black yak and the Manchurian Tiger had been there before and had seen the lady suppressed by the Azure calabash. At this time, their faces turned green after realizing the truth.

The black yak jumped up and mooed loudly.

The Manchurian Tiger almost ran away.

They were absolutely overwhelmed by the shocking news. Their faces turned pale and then green. They wanted to whip themselves after recalling their actions. How embarrassing!

The distorted toad then explained to them about the lady’s astonishing family and origin.

By the time they heard about the divine beast fights, roaming the cosmos and how she had used the Nine Transformations Divine Grass as a mere decoration, the black yak and the Manchurian Tiger were both terrified. Their knees began to shake and they almost ran away.

"This ox is almost shocked to death!"

"This tiger is almost shocked to death!"

After the restaurant had processed the roc meat, tiger kidneys, southern sea flood serpent meat, etc, and brought them to the table, the toad and the black yak began to entertain the lady with attentiveness. They had almost reincarnated into her attendants as they waited on the lady while she enjoyed the food.

The lady’s movements were graceful and elegant as she slowly ate her food. She would occasionally drink a sip of red wine just like a city-born beauty. It was hard to associate her with that terrifying identity.

"The chef’s skills are exquisite and can be considered a great master. It’s just that the ingredients are too inferior." The lady gave her evaluation.

Chu Feng and the others were dumbfounded after hearing this because this was already the best ingredients on earth. Comparatively, they felt that the chef wasn’t all that good. The ingredients were more important.

However, their levels were too far apart and their viewpoints were naturally different too.

The lady shook her head and said, "A pure-blooded roc’s meat is extremely delicious with fragrant golden-yellow juices in the meat. This roc meat is obviously too coarse. It’s too far from that level."

"Mn, I’ve had flood serpent meat before. It’s indeed a precious delicacy. This one here can only be considered snake meat."

The lady’s evaluation left the party speechless.

"I’m leaving now. I’ll return to Mount Longhu to rest for awhile." She got up in the end and fared them well with a smile.

"We should leave too!" Chu Feng said.

"Where to?" The others were suspicious.

Chu Feng said, "Today, I’m feeling motivated after hearing about how that family’s members would roam the starry skies, watch divine beast fights, gamble gems, and chase after women. We should also go and enjoy the tastes of the world."

"Really? Let’s go! Go, go, go!"
