The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1340 - 1331: Enemies Officially Meet

A few minutes later.

Ye Chenfeng slowly gathered the momentum of the Ocean Gathering Realm First Heaven back into his body. He suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of light flashed briefly from his pupils.

Once Ye Chenfeng’s injuries were completely healed and he successfully broke through to the initial stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm First Heaven, the two Spiritual Qi Rivers running simultaneously within his meridians came to a halt. He attempted to activate both Spiritual Qi Rivers to run together again, but when the Spiritual Qi River representing the Divine Blood Manual was operational, the one representing the Demon’s Heaven Manual stopped moving entirely; and when the Spiritual Qi River belonging to the Demon’s Heaven Manual operated, the Divine Blood Manual simply wouldn’t work at all.

It turns out it’s really like what the White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian had speculated; only when Ye Chenfeng is on the edge of life and death would the two Spiritual Qi Rivers autonomously operate simultaneously.

However, after breaking through to the Ocean Gathering Realm, the speed of the Spiritual Qi River in Ye Chenfeng’s meridians was like a surging ocean, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy in his body was twice that of a typical expert at the initial stage of the Ocean Gathering Realm First Heaven, because Ye Chenfeng had cultivated two Divine Level techniques.

"Crackling sounds!"

Ye Chenfeng rose from the ground, stretched lazily, and a crisp sound emanated from his bones all over his body. Simultaneously, as Ye Chenfeng stepped into the Ocean Gathering Realm, the Black Xuan Armor on his body and the Black Xuan Sword on his back became slightly heavier, and their suppression on his internal Spiritual Energy intensified.

Ye Chenfeng constantly adjusted the operation of the Spiritual Energy within his body, trying his best not to be affected by the Black Xuan Armor and Black Xuan Sword. He was very clear inside that he must quickly and completely adapt to the Black Xuan Armor and Black Xuan Sword, so wearing the armor and carrying the sword feels like carrying no weight at all.

In this way, even if his strength continues to grow, the gravity and suppression that the Black Xuan Armor and the Black Xuan Sword bring to him would be within his control.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Qin Shuangshuang sitting by the campfire and said, "Thank you so much this time."

Noticing Ye Chenfeng’s gaze, Qin Shuangshuang’s cheeks flushed instantly. She remembered being surrounded by Blood-eyed Mantis, when she proactively gave Ye Chenfeng her first kiss, and just earlier, fed him water mouth-to-mouth,

Qin Shuangshuang became somewhat flustered, brushing her pale fingers through her hair in an attempt to calm herself, biting her lip, she said, "Ye Chenfeng, you don’t have to thank me. From the beginning, I just wanted you to owe me a favor."

Ye Chenfeng sat beside Qin Shuangshuang, causing her body to tense up slightly. Ye Chenfeng said, "I only have the meager strength of the initial stage of Ocean Gathering Realm First Heaven, are you sure a favor from me, Ye Chenfeng, is so valuable? Perhaps I won’t have the chance to repay you before I’m killed?"

Qin Shuangshuang looked at the campfire with her beautiful eyes and said, "Ye Chenfeng, I have great confidence in my intuition. As long as you continue to live and grow, it wouldn’t be impossible for the entire Earth Profound Realm to be under your feet someday."

"In other words, I’m betting everything on you. If I win, it will be a fortune in gold. If I’m wrong, I will have no regrets, for betting always involves wins and losses."

Upon hearing Qin Shuangshuang’s candid response, a playful smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s face. He said, "Miss Qin, but didn’t you bet too much this time? Not only did you save me, but you also gave me your first kiss, and fed me water mouth-to-mouth. Could it be that you have feelings for me?"

Qin Shuangshuang didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to tease her suddenly. This made Qin Shuangshuang, who was initially shy, suddenly glare at Ye Chenfeng angrily, exclaiming, "You bastard, I thought we were going to die at the time, otherwise why would I let you take advantage of me for free? I should have let you die of thirst just now."

Seeing Qin Shuangshuang forget her shyness and angrily glare at him, Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Alright, Miss Qin, I’m just joking with you, there’s no need to be so constrained in front of me, this is better!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang was slightly taken aback. She immediately realized Ye Chenfeng was deliberately teasing her, otherwise, in the cave, with her own shy behavior, perhaps driven by the atmosphere, something might really happen between Ye Chenfeng and Qin Shuangshuang.

"Now you can tell me, risking your life just to make me owe you a favor, what exactly do you want me to help you with?" Ye Chenfeng asked after tossing a piece of wood into the campfire beside him.

"Humph!" Qin Shuangshuang snorted coldly from her nose, indicating that her anger had not yet dissipated. After a brief silence, she finally spoke up, "I’m the daughter of the Family Head of the Qins, and women in large families are generally sacrificial lambs. In the future, my family, and even my father, will marry me off to someone I don’t like, or perhaps someone I despise, for the sake of benefits."

"I want to break free from this fate, and help many women in the Qins break free from this fate as well. Only by becoming the Family Head of the Qins will my destiny be in my own hands. But according to family rules, women cannot inherit the position of the Family Head, so I want your help to become the Family Head of the Qins."

Qin Shuangshuang paused slightly, then continued, "However, now I know you don’t have the ability to help me. I can wait for two years. I believe with your cultivation talent, you will fulfill this wish in two years."

So Qin Shuangshuang wants to control her own destiny. Regardless of the Secular World, the Ancient Martial World, or nowadays the Earth Profound Realm, women are generally the attachments of men. If a woman wants to control her destiny, she must become stronger than men.

Inside, Ye Chenfeng actually greatly admired Qin Shuangshuang. Despite looking up to Ye Chenfeng for his potential rise to power in the future, she had placed all her chips on Ye Chenfeng. But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Yet, in the most dangerous moments, even on the brink of life and death, Qin Shuangshuang had no intention of abandoning Ye Chenfeng. This alone gives Ye Chenfeng enough reason to help Qin Shuangshuang.

Ye Chenfeng twisted his neck and said, "Alright, I promise I’ll help you become the Family Head of the Qins, that I, Ye Chenfeng, can assure."

Without waiting for Qin Shuangshuang to continue speaking, Ye Chenfeng added, "The cave is too stuffy; I’m going out for some fresh air."

Ye Chenfeng stood up and pushed aside the stone blocking the cave entrance. A beam of silvery moonlight poured down the night sky, and Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath of the slightly chilly air.

Qin Shuangshuang also walked up to Ye Chenfeng’s side, and Ye Chenfeng suddenly furrowed his brow fiercely, his gaze turned towards the night sky to the west. He quickly squatted down, rubbing his hands with plenty of soil, and promptly smeared it across Qin Shuangshuang’s face.

Qin Shuangshuang was startled by Ye Chenfeng’s actions and asked with a tone full of anger, "Ye Chenfeng, what are you doing?"

Ye Chenfeng replied gravely, "There’s a group coming towards us. Their strength is definitely something we can’t defend against. I’m afraid they’ve already spotted us, so try not to speak later."

"Ye Chenfeng, could it be people from the Spiritual Medicine Valley and Southern Yuan Dynasty?" Qin Shuangshuang asked worriedly.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t respond to Qin Shuangshuang’s question. He hurriedly smeared his face with dirt, making himself look filthy, and tore Qin Shuangshuang’s clothes to make them more ragged, which made Qin Shuangshuang both embarrassed and angry. As for Ye Chenfeng himself, his clothes were already quite tattered from the prior battles.

Just after Ye Chenfeng completed these preparations, two enormous black shadows appeared in the night sky, descending around Ye Chenfeng and Qin Shuangshuang. These shadows were two gigantic Flying Beasts, each carrying five people on their backs.

Leading the group descending from the back of the beast on the left was an elderly woman in black. When Ye Chenfeng saw this black-clad elder woman, his dirt-covered face immediately twisted. His hands, hidden within his sleeves, clenched suddenly, and his emotions inside roiled dramatically.

This black-clad elder woman was none other than Song Chunmei, the Elder of the Yinming Sect’s inner chamber.

Previously, Ye Chenfeng had only seen a trace of Song Chunmei’s Divine Sense. Tonight was Ye Chenfeng’s first face-to-face encounter with Song Chunmei. Not even Ye Chenfeng himself expected to meet Song Chunmei in the Black Wind Mountain Range before he had the chance to seek her out at the Yinming Sect.
