Chapter 1847: Chapter 1846: The Xiong Fengru of Old Has Returned—This Is What Confidence Feels Like!

"Isn’t this the once-despairing Xiong Fengru?"

"He’s changed. This look of his even stirs my heart a little bit."

"That Xiong Fengru is back."

Many women blushed and their hearts raced as they tapped Xiong Fengru’s handsome cheek.

Finally, one woman couldn’t suppress her restless heart any longer. Clenching her pink fists, she shyly stepped forward and said,

"Brother Xiong Fengru, can I ask you out for a walk?"

Yang Xiaohong shyly pinched the corner of her sleeve, feeling a bit nervous, wondering if he would agree.

Seeing this, Xiong Fengru smiled faintly.

In these thousand years, it seems no girl has asked him out for a walk.

He had once tried to lead a peaceful life, to marry, but who would look at him?

Over the years, he had suffered quite a few setbacks.

Yet today, a girl had actually invited him out on her own.

In front of him was Yang Xiaohong, a beauty from Maple Fragrance Lake, renowned far and wide, the goddess in the hearts of countless men.

She was a woman Xiong Fengru wouldn’t dare dream about.

As he gazed at Yang Xiaohong, Xiong Fengru took a deep breath in excitement, and it took him a long while to suppress the exhilaration within his heart.

"How could I refuse an invitation from a fair lady?"

Xiong Fengru said confidently with a smile.

Seeing this, a ripple went through the tranquil lake in Yang Xiaohong’s heart.

The tone of the man before her had changed.

Unlike before, he wasn’t stammering, nor did he exhibit any of the previous despair and self-doubt.

The two walked together down the street.

Although Xiong Fengru was somewhat excited, he wasn’t nervous at all; his expression was very calm.

Men on the street, upon seeing this scene, all turned red-eyed with jealousy.

"Did the sun rise from the west today? Our beauty from Maple Fragrance Lake is walking with the useless Xiong Fengru."

"Rumor has it that many distinguished people pursued Yang Xiaohong, but were all mercilessly rejected."

"I even went to propose to Yang Xiaohong once, but was mercilessly turned down."

Countless men whispered about the backs of the pair.

Yet the two paid no mind to the unusual glances and whispers from their surroundings.

Yang Xiaohong smiled at Xiong Fengru and said,

"Brother Xiong Fengru, we haven’t been out for a walk in ages, have we?"

"Haha, I used to be a good-for-nothing, not in the mood to go out for a walk."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Fengru gave a self-mocking smile.

Indeed, Xiong Fengru had been quite downcast for a thousand years.

Seeing Xiong Fengru speak so naturally, Yang Xiaohong’s affection for him increased.

This Xiong Fengru was the only man who could remain calm before her.

Suddenly, she recalled something about Xiong Fengru.

This matter had surprised the Blackwater Secret Realm; she wondered if the Xiong Fengru beside her was the same one in those tales.

"Brother Xiong Fengru, aren’t you set to duel with Magic Emperor Tianyin on March 15th?"

At this point, a gleam flashed in Yang Xiaohong’s eyes; she looked forward to it.

If this Xiong Fengru could really duel Tianyin, then he truly was extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Fengru nodded indifferently.

"Yes, in a month I will duel her. Time flies; a thousand years have passed, and in this thousand years I have lived in vain. It was only a month ago that I truly came alive again."

Then he remembered Wang Ye.

If not for Wang Ye’s appearance, he would still be wandering aimlessly like a puppet.

"Brother Xiong Fengru, you’re truly amazing."

Yang Xiaohong was shocked, her delicate body trembled, and her eyes widened to the extreme.

A feverish glow radiated from her eyes.

She never expected that the person beside her was the legendary Xiong Fengru.

He was indeed the Xiong Fengru who was set to duel Magic Emperor Tianyin.

A worshiping light gleamed in her eyes.

Little did they know, their conversation was overheard by Tu Tian, the tyrant of Maple Fragrance Lake nearby.

Tu Tian was the son of the Lord of Dragon City, backed by immense power, and he himself had considerable strength.

At a young age, he had already reached the Lai Tian Holy Realm.

Tu Tian spent his days doing nothing substantial, merely strolling around in search of beauties, and then...

Yang Xiaohong was the object of Tu Tian’s day and night dreams.

Now seeing Xiong Fengru boasting and Yang Xiaohong showing such expression to Xiong Fengru, his mood was naturally displeased.

He immediately stepped out from his subordinates, blocking Xiong Fengru’s path.

Tu Tian stood on the ground, arms crossed in an imposing pose.

"You claim to be Xiong Fengru; I don’t believe it. Unless you can defeat me."

Tu Tian glared coldly at Xiong Fengru.

Xiong Fengru smiled and said,

"Brother, please step aside, I have no grievance with you. Why should we fight?"

"Tu Tian, do you really think you deserve to duel with Xiong Fengru? Are you even qualified?"

Yang Xiaohong pouted, showing a face full of disdain.

Listening to Xiong Fengru’s words, Tu Tian considered him a swindler, merely a charmer of young girls with no real strength.

Such a person only had a glib tongue and no real power.

This made Tu Tian even more presumptive. He took off his shoe and viciously hurled it at Xiong Fengru.

"You’re nothing but a smooth-talking pretty face!"

As Xiong Fengru watched the flying shoe, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Instantly he extended his hand, and a massive force was released from it.

In a split second, Xiong Fengru’s hand was gripping Tu Tian’s neck, lifting his two-hundred-pound body.

Tu Tian struggled to breathe, feeling as though a huge iron claw was gripping his throat, his face reddened, his eyes nearly bulging out.

He hurriedly tried to pry Xiong Fengru’s fingers apart but couldn’t move them at all.

At this moment, Xiong Fengru coldly said,

"I slay you as I slay a dog!"

Then he threw him aside directly.

Crash~

Tu Tian landed heavily on the ground, creating a huge pit.

A wrenching pain erupted from his insides.

Lying in the pit, fear surfaced in Tu Tian’s eyes; perhaps this person truly was the legendary Xiong Fengru.

He immediately endured the pain and crawled out of the pit, kneeling heavily before Xiong Fengru.

"I failed to recognize greatness, please forgive me."

"Scram!"

Xiong Fengru said coldly, then walked away with Yang Xiaohong towards the street ahead.

At this moment, the admiration in Yang Xiaohong’s eyes grew even stronger.

Stars sparkled in her eyes.

He truly was the legendary master.

After a walk, seeing the time had passed an hour, Xiong Fengru smiled at Yang Xiaohong beside him and said,

"Let’s go eat something!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Mm, okay."

Yang Xiaohong was very obedient, clasping her hands and blushing as she entered the restaurant with Xiong Fengru.

Upon seeing their goddess Yang Xiaohong showing such a demure demeanor before a man, everyone couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Who is this person who has won over the goddess?"

"Haha, you don’t know, do you? A great figure has emerged from our small place; he is Xiong Fengru."

"Really, I saw him defeat Tu Tian with one hand earlier. Tu Tian was the top dog in our Dragon City! Tu Tian couldn’t withstand even a single move from him."

Upon hearing this, numerous men in the restaurant let their chopsticks slip onto the table, not daring to make a sound.

After eating,

Xiong Fengru parted ways with Yang Xiaohong at the edge of Maple Fragrance Lake.

Returning to the pavilion, Xiong Fengru once again immersed himself in cultivation.

"Come March 15th, I must defeat Tianyin and make a name for myself!"

Xiong Fengru’s eyes were filled with resolve.
