Feng Jun laughed angrily.
"Fine! I'll show you!" Feng Jun's face darkened as he lightly unfolded his cyan-white fan, sending countless silver-blue needles shooting into the sky.
"Thud! Thud!"
In an instant, the needles pierced the throats of the group. The leader of the Lone Wolf gang, eyes filled with terror, clutched his bleeding neck, realizing he had provoked someone he couldn't afford to. But he had no chance to beg for mercy.
Looking at the lifeless bodies on the ground, Feng Jun felt no relief.
"Sen Yan, you old dog, just wait. I'll settle all these scores with you! Your son dreams of entering the Xuanyao Hall? Dream on!" Feng Jun's expression remained sickly.
Inside the cave,
"Ugh..." Feng Jing Sheng's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her sapphire blue eyes.
She felt something strange with her body and looked down to see a man touching her!
"Ah!" Feng Jing Sheng screamed in shock.
Her scream startled Sen Lei, who had been massaging her meridians and blood flow to ease her condition.
Sen Lei felt embarrassed. Although he was treating her, she didn't know that.
From Sen Lei's Earthly perspective, it was no big deal, but who knew if she valued her chastity over her life?
Sen Lei's thoughts ran wild.
"Thank you." A pleasant voice broke the silence.
Sen Lei quickly responded with an "Ah."
"What?" He had been lost in thought and didn't catch what she said.
Feng Jing Sheng, struggling to sit up from the rock, smiled slightly at Sen Lei and said, "Thank you. I know you were just..."
"Ow!" Feng Jing Sheng lost her balance and fell back.
Sen Lei hurriedly helped her up.
Feeling his strong presence and looking at Sen Lei's determined, chiseled face, Feng Jing Sheng blushed slightly. This sense of security was something she had only felt from her father and brother, never from a stranger.
"My name is Feng Jing Sheng. What's your name, benefactor?" She batted her big eyes at Sen Lei.
"Oh, me? I'm Sen Lei," he replied, without hiding his name.
In the void, an emotionless voice echoed in Sen Lei's mind.
"Young!"
"You... people should be honest with each other," Sen Lei retorted mentally.
"Excuses!"
"You!"
Feng Jing Sheng was surprised. "Benefactor, did you say your name is Sen Lei?"
"Yes, that's right." Sen Lei took his wheelchair out of his storage ring.
Feng Jing Sheng looked at his starry eyes and firm brows, momentarily dazed.
"So, it's him..."
Feng Jing Sheng knew a bit about the Crown Prince of Sen Luo, but not much. She had heard snippets from her father and servants about his crippling injury and miraculous recovery, which had driven his father mad with rage.
If his father knew about his predicament, he would be very upset.
To be honest, her father had always painted a negative picture of the Crown Prince, even warning her to be wary of him before she left.
She had imagined the prince to be terrifying, perhaps even monstrous, but today...
"He seems quite handsome and not scary at all," Feng Jing Sheng muttered to herself.
Sen Lei turned, "What?"
Feng Jing Sheng quickly said it was nothing.
Sen Lei felt puzzled. Was his hearing going bad, or were girls' voices just that soft?
Feng Jing Sheng didn't plan to reveal her identity. It was clear that Sen Lei didn't know who she was.
After a long silence,
"Where are you going?" Sen Lei broke the silence.
Feng Jing Sheng, twirling her hair, looked at him and said, "All my family members are dead. Can you take me home?"
Sen Lei was stunned.
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
"I can't even walk now..." Feng Jing Sheng pleaded, her big eyes full of tears. Besides, she was indeed heading to his home, but she didn't want to tell him that. Girls' thoughts were hard to predict.
"Alright." Sen Lei agreed, seeing her as a helpless girl in a pitiful state.
"Thank you." Feng Jing Sheng smiled sweetly.
Sen Lei was momentarily entranced by her beautiful smile.
Deep in the cave, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth!
Sen Lei and Feng Jing Sheng both felt it.
The rats in the cave scurried away.
This aura felt familiar to Sen Lei.
Sen Lei and Feng Jing Sheng simultaneously exclaimed,
"It's the Azure Moon Wolf King!"
...
At this moment, a massive white figure was breaking through its limits.
It was the Azure Moon Wolf King!
When Su Yan threw the spirit herb to it, it instinctively held it in its mouth. By the time it realized something was wrong, it was too late. The herb's energy had already started to take effect.
The Cold Spirit Grass, a water-attribute, extremely cold herb, grew in ice caves or cold caverns and took a hundred years to mature. The Azure Moon Wolf King had searched dozens of ice caves to find a mature one.
As a water-attribute spirit beast at the peak of the Dao Realm, it needed an external force to break through to the next level, the Reincarnation Realm of spirit beasts.
But it wasn't prepared for the breakthrough now, and the unexpected incident forced its hand. There was no turning back; it had to break through.
So it quickly found a hidden cave to break through, but Sen Lei and Feng Jing Sheng found it by chance.
What a coincidence!
Sen Lei and Feng Jing Sheng didn't dare to act rashly; they weren't sure if the Azure Moon Wolf King was the same one from before.
Feng Jing Sheng whispered in Sen Lei's ear, "Is it breaking through?"
Her soft breath tickled his ear, making Sen Lei's heart flutter.
"Master is tempted? Let me remind you, there's someone waiting for you up in the heavens! You heartless, shameless, irresponsible..." The mechanical voice of Di Xue Shi Tian listed Sen Lei's faults without emotion.
Sen Lei's fleeting feelings vanished.
"Damn, I didn't know you were such a chatterbox!" Sen Lei felt exasperated.
He wondered if the first generation Blood Demon had been muttering incessantly while creating it.
How could it be so talkative?
"Maybe. For now, let's not disturb it and see what happens!" Sen Lei focused on the cave's dark depths.
With the situation still critical, Sen Lei didn't have time to argue with Di Xue Shi Tian.
"Alright..." Feng Jing Sheng, having fully entrusted herself to Sen Lei, followed his lead.
Di Xue Shi Tian's voice echoed again.
"Don't worry. When a spirit beast breaks through, it will enter a period of weakness during its transformation."
"Weakness period? So, it won't bother us for now, or it might even be powerless," Sen Lei relaxed a bit.
"Yes," Di Xue Shi Tian replied.
Sen Lei, reassured, turned to Feng Jing Sheng and said, "I'll go check it out. Stay here."
