Pan Tingting stared blankly at Zhu Fei, as if only at this moment had she truly recognized him.
Thinking back to what Zhu Fei had just said, a warm feeling inexplicably surged in Pan Tingting’s heart.
In addition to that, there was also a sweet sensation that she herself couldn’t quite explain.
He... He just said, if he wanted that from her... he would make her, become his woman... Is... Is that even true?
Oh dear, Pan Tingting, what on earth are you thinking about? Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t want to have that kind of relationship with him...
For some reason, a faint blush had suddenly appeared on Pan Tingting’s face at this moment, and when she looked at Zhu Fei, her beautiful eyes carried an almost imperceptible shyness.
"That, Zhu Fei, thank you."
Finally, after taking a deep breath, Pan Tingting managed to calm her previously chaotic emotions and whispered her thanks to Zhu Fei.
Zhu Fei casually shrugged his shoulders, not taking to heart Pan Tingting’s unusual behavior just now.
This made Pan Tingting inexplicably irked.
You sullen Zhu Fei, why are you so dense? Can’t you just take the opportunity to say some more of what a girl wants to hear?
As soon as Pan Tingting thought this, she frightened herself.
What’s wrong with me? Could it be... just because of that bastard’s words just now, that I’ve fallen for him?
Tsk tsk tsk, not at all. Zhu Fei, he looks the type completely clueless about what’s in a girl’s heart, a blockhead. I wouldn’t fall for such an unromantic guy.
Pan Tingting repeatedly comforted herself inwardly, yet her gaze involuntarily drifted toward Zhu Fei once again.
At this time, Zhu Fei had retrieved paper and pen from his own room and was swiftly writing something.
Watching his serious and focused demeanour, a hint of enchantment unintentionally flitted through Pan Tingting’s beautiful eyes.
"Um, Tingting, this is some basic knowledge about cultivation, take it and have a close look."
In no time at all, Zhu Fei had already handed over what he had written to Pan Tingting, "As for the cultivation technique you need, well, once I make a breakthrough in my cultivation, I will impart it to you thoroughly through a Divine Soul Imprint."
"Divine Soul Imprint?"
Upon receiving Zhu Fei’s written material, Pan Tingting asked in surprise, "What’s that? How come I’ve never heard of it before?"
Zhu Fei nodded and said, "That’s a method available to a cultivator once they possess Divine Sense. For the specifics, you can read what I’ve written on that piece of paper. I’ve already written down the basic situation of the Cultivation Realm."
While speaking, Zhu Fei suddenly frowned slightly, looking at Pan Tingting,
"Tingting, I remember Mengyun’s house is just one building away from yours, right? She went back to get her things; why is it taking so long? She hasn’t returned yet?"
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Pan Tingting was startled as well.
"Right, when we parted earlier, she said she would come right over after getting her things, but now it’s already..."
Before Pan Tingting could finish her sentence, a loud bang came from the direction of her house’s front door.
Pan Tingting’s front door was abruptly smashed open!
Accompanying the intrusion was a sinister, ice-cold voice.
"Holy Daughter, it seems you haven’t taken our Saint Child’s orders to heart. Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for being disrespectful."
Before Zhu Fei and Pan Tingting’s eyes, two men dressed in black cloaks and hats suddenly appeared!
Pan Tingting was instantly terrified, pointing at the two men she angrily exclaimed, "How dare you! My mission time isn’t up yet, and you dare to surveil me without permission! You..."
"Enough, Tingting, no need to waste words on them."
At this moment, Zhu Fei quickly pulled Pan Tingting behind him, then said with a cold voice, "If I’m not mistaken, these two have overheard our conversation earlier."
"And their actions now are likely a decision they made on the spur of the moment. Gentlemen, am I right?"
Suddenly, Zhu Fei’s eyes burst with an intense killing intent!
He glared at the two men, then slowly stated, "Release the person in your hands, and I may grant you a quick end. Otherwise, I will subject you to the agony of being burned alive!"
It was true, Zhu Fei hadn’t attacked immediately for the simple reason that the two caped men were holding Tang Mengyun in their grasp!
And the identities of these two caped men were none other than Yan Ba and Yan Jiu, who were ordered by Yan Chong to specially monitor Pan Tingting’s actions!
As Zhu Fei had just said, the two had indeed overheard his conversation with Pan Tingting.
More accurately, they had spied on the conversation.
For they had used binoculars from afar, interpreting lip movements, which is why Zhu Fei hadn’t detected them at first.
At Zhu Fei’s words, the two men glanced at each other, then suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
Yan Ba, as the elder, darkened his expression and with a fierce look in his eye, turned to Zhu Fei and sinisterly said,
"Boy, don’t think we’re unaware of your background. Elder Bai has already informed us that your cultivation is at most in the early stage of Dark Energy."
"Do you really think you, alone, can handle us? If the expert who was with you previously were still here, we might have some reservations. But now, well..."
With that, Yan Ba let out a cold laugh, then clamped his hand around Tang Mengyun’s swan-like neck.
"Don’t think we brothers can’t deal with you. Even if we’re indeed no match for you, push us into a corner and we’re willing to endure our young master’s punishment, but we’ll make sure to take your little girlfriend down with us!"
"Besides, as long as we can get back at you, Zhu Fei, our young master might not even punish us, hahaha!"
With these words, Yan Ba and Yan Jiu once again erupted into loud laughter.
Zhu Fei watched them coldly, the killing intent in his eyes already tangible.
But with Tang Mengyun in their hands, Zhu Fei took a deep breath to suppress his urge to kill and asked, "What do you want by coming here? Speak plainly. Zhu Fei, alone, will meet you head-on."
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Yan Ba and Yan Jiu exchanged another glance, and finally Yan Ba snickered and coldly announced,
"Heh, it seems you truly care for this little girlfriend of yours. All right then, since you crippled our young master’s cultivation before, we demand the same—cripple your own cultivation."
"I’ll give you ten breaths to consider. If you refuse to cripple your cultivation within that time, we will cut off one of your little girlfriend’s fingers, and we won’t stop until you agree."
"Heh, decide what matters more to you—your own cultivation or your little girlfriend’s safety. Take your time to think, and remember, don’t try to resist. We mean what we say, and we will follow through."
With a sinister smile, Yan Ba pulled out a dagger from his clothes and placed it directly in front of Tang Mengyun’s chest!
