Chapter 555: Chapter 551: Capturing the Celestial Sound Elf, Qin Fei Reappears

Lu Ziqian excitedly explained, "The Celestial Sound Elf is somewhat similar to a Sword Spirit, but it doesn’t have as high Spiritual Wisdom."

"If integrated into one’s Great Dao of Music Treasure, it can significantly enhance its power."

"Or used to comprehend the Great Dao of Music, it can also enhance the cultivation of the Great Dao of Music. It is a very practical treasure."

Xia Feng looked at the little elf in front of him that couldn’t speak but only hummed, his heart filled with interest.

The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand was put away, and he prepared to capture the Celestial Sound Elf with his bare hands, so as not to injure it with the Heaven-Burying Sword.

Just as the Heaven-Burying Sword disappeared, the Celestial Sound Elf on the opposite side seemed to sense something, and the pitch of the humming song quickened considerably.

When Xia Feng looked again, the Celestial Sound Elf was surrounded by a faint purple aura, like an acceleration halo, and its speed suddenly increased significantly.

Lu Ziqian, following behind, could hardly distinguish its position with the naked eye. Xia Feng squinted slightly, and with a slight move stood in another direction, just blocking the escape path of the Celestial Sound Elf.

Lu Ziqian only saw a blur, and the Celestial Sound Elf seemed to rush straight into Xia Feng’s palm, as if it was throwing itself into the net.

He opened his mouth, initially wanting to say how incredibly difficult it is to catch a Celestial Sound Elf, but seeing Xia Feng pinching and carefully examining the elf, he struggled to speak.

Finally, he changed his words at the last moment: "Master, you are truly formidable. This Celestial Sound Elf is usually incredibly difficult to catch, yet today it automatically found its way into your hands after meeting you."

"It must have seen through your talents, Master. It voluntarily follows you."

Xia Feng couldn’t help but turn his head to look at this boy; it was the first time he realized Lu Ziqian could be so eloquent.

Even though he knew Lu Ziqian was flattering him, Xia Feng couldn’t help but slightly curl his lips, pinching the Celestial Sound Elf as he carefully examined it.

It appeared semi-transparent, and when held, felt like fog—a sensation that seemed like it could easily slip through one’s fingers.

The humming song from the Celestial Sound Elf became agitated, making listeners feel somewhat irritable and restless.

Xia Feng’s firm resolve meant he was less affected, while the surrounding followers did not possess his level of willpower.

Disturbance began to spread among the crowd, with many looking at the Celestial Sound Elf with hints of crimson, seemingly tinged with greed.

Xia Feng sneered lightly, a touch of the Great Dao of Music mixed into his voice, waking those behind him.

He looked down at the Celestial Sound Elf, "Behave yourself. I have no intention of causing you trouble. If you continue to act wildly, I’ll directly consume and refine you into the Great Dao of Music."

The Celestial Sound Elf whimpered, seeming to understand Xia Feng’s words, immediately quieting down and ceasing any sound.

The followers behind him also fell silent, not daring to let their gaze rest on the Celestial Sound Elf.

Just hearing a bit of sound had stirred the deepest greed within them; if they looked a few more times, they’d fear they might inadvertently act.

Xia Feng examined the Celestial Sound Elf again for a while, then handed it to Qi Wan’Er, "Here, you take it to refine."

The followers behind were shocked to their core; the Celestial Sound Elf, which was coveted yet unattainable, was so casually given to Qi Wan’Er by Xia Feng.

They were momentarily unsure whether to be glad about Xia Feng and Qi Wan’Er’s good relationship or shocked that Xia Feng didn’t care much about the Celestial Sound Elf.

Everyone exchanged glances and congratulated Qi Wan’Er, "Congratulations, Divine Maiden, on acquiring the Secret Treasure."

They were genuinely happy, after all, if the Divine Maiden they followed became stronger, they wouldn’t be mocked by other sects when out in the world.

Just as Qi Wan’Er was about to put away the Celestial Sound Elf, over a hundred people appeared from nowhere at the summit, surrounding Xia Feng and his group.

Xia Feng’s eyebrows immediately furrowed; though his Divine Sense couldn’t be used while climbing the peak, he hadn’t suspected over a hundred people were hidden here.

His gaze swept over the crowd, with Qin Fei, whom Xia Feng had specifically targeted before, standing arrogantly in front.

At that moment, Qin Fei stood ahead with arrogance, still holding a Jade Talisman in his hand.

"Bumpkins, who would’ve thought the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? I was watching you all along."

He first looked at Xia Feng disdainfully, then his gaze, tinged with complexity, shifted toward Qi Wan’Er.

Qi Wan’Er was already infuriated beyond measure, "Damn it, you wield my father’s Life-saving Jade Talisman, bringing people from other sects to confront me. Qin Fei, you are truly shameless!"

Most people following Qin Fei were other sects’ prodigies, now surrounding Xia Feng and his group with a malicious aura.

Upon hearing Qi Wan’Er mention the Celestial Sound Divine King’s Life-saving Jade Talisman, their expressions shifted to contempt and scorn, seemingly mocking Qi Jun for his poor judgment of character.

Standing foremost, Qin Fei was oblivious to their strange expressions, continuing to lecture Qi Wan’Er.

"Wan’Er, only you and I within the Celestial Sound Orthodoxy are truly suited for each other. Given the affinity between us, you’ll eventually marry me."

"These country bumpkins, I advise you to give up on them early. Though I like you, my Qin Family still cares about face. Consorting with others before marriage tarnishes my reputation as well."

His gaze swept Qi Wan’Er up and down, as if critiquing a piece of merchandise, shaking his head continuously.

"I’m the only one willing to marry you. If you’re sensible, learn from the Divine King to be gentle and hold your husband in high esteem."

His gaze fell once more on the Celestial Sound Elf in Qi Wan’Er’s hand, "Your cultivation is weak, and acquiring the Secret Treasure serves no purpose. You’d better give it to me; once we’re wed, perhaps I’ll treat you better for its sake."

Qi Wan’Er’s face flushed red with anger, trembling slightly, tightly gripping the Jade Flute, while her other hand squeezed the Celestial Sound Elf, causing it to emit a pained moan.

"Qin Fei, I’ll say it again: there is nothing between us. I am already married, and my husband is right beside me."

"If you continue to harass me, be careful; I won’t be polite."

Qin Fei had intended to put on a show for the other sect members, but was infuriated upon being exposed by Qi Wan’Er, rushing forward in anger.
