Chapter 890: Chapter 913: Leaving Death Tower Land
Chu Linfeng had never tried to place a Soul Body into the Reincarnation Bracelet, but he decided to give it a try. The bracelet emitted a faint white light, and the Ice and Snow Fairy vanished from the spot. However, Chu Linfeng suddenly felt a severe headache, almost causing him to lose his balance.
"Lin Feng, take a rest. This is due to overexertion of your Heart Power. I didn’t expect that your current strength would make it so difficult to carry a Soul Body. I originally thought about letting you take your woman to the Immortal Realm; it seems we’ll have to wait for another opportunity," said Sword Spirit.
Chu Linfeng sat on the ground, closing his eyes to recuperate. At this moment, he felt as though his entire body was about to fall apart, completely exhausted. Such overexertion of Heart Power was truly not a good thing. After resting for almost half a day, he stood up.
Looking at the distant sky, Chu Linfeng laughed, "It’s time to head out. I wonder how Ruoxi and Yiyi will deal with me this time." With that, he executed Shift Form and Shadow and dashed swiftly to the distance, leaving an afterimage behind.
With the guidance of Sword Spirit, Chu Linfeng found traveling quite easy. He encountered no obstructions like Li Feng or Hot Flame and took half a day to exit the Death Tower Land. "Finally out; thinking back, it really wasn’t easy, almost lost my life in there."
"You should be content. You acquired the Li-Fire Crystal and even got a beautiful woman. What more do you want? You should know that Ruo Lan’s beauty is no less than mine. If you have the capability to make her your woman, I won’t object; on the contrary, I will fully support you because she is my best sister, and I am willing to serve a man alongside her," Sword Spirit said.
Such great fortune should have made Chu Linfeng happy. However, he felt no joy. Sword Spirit and he had developed their bond over a long time. As for the Ice and Snow Fairy, he knew nothing about her, and her original strength was of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm. What qualification did he, with his mere Saint Martial Realm strength, have to claim her as his woman? Could it be just because he saved her?
"Let’s talk about this later. We should go back and see how the Human Race is doing; it’s about time to return to Canglan Ancient Land. But I regret forgetting something important on this trip to Death Tower Land," Chu Linfeng said.
"You’re thinking of the Netherworld Purple Orchid, right? I knew you would remember that. Don’t worry; Ruo Lan has already given me plenty of Netherworld Purple Orchid. I’ll give it to you when we return to Canglan Ancient Land!" Sword Spirit laughed, pleased by the presence of the Ice and Snow Fairy.
"When did she give it to you? How much? Tell me," Chu Linfeng immediately asked.
"If you don’t want anything to happen in Canglan Ancient Land, hurry back. Why are you dawdling here?" Sword Spirit said impatiently.
Chu Linfeng felt a bit disappointed; with a thought, he executed Instant Teleportation swiftly. Half a day later, he returned directly to the City Lord’s Mansion in Lisha City, but at this moment, the mansion no longer had traces of Lin Ruoxi and the others. After some inquiries, he found out they had long gone to the Human King’s mansion in the Royal City.
Chu Linfeng then hurried to the Royal City and soon arrived at Zhang Lijuan’s mansion. At this moment, Lin Ruoxi, Kong Feifei, and Princess Yiyi were chatting in a pavilion within the Prince’s Mansion, while Zhang Lijuan was not far off speaking with several mansion stewards.
Chu Linfeng originally intended to scare them but felt that he was already a bit excessive when he left. Now, scaring them again would be even more meaningless. So, he descended from the sky and said, "You’re all here, did you miss me?"
Hearing this, the three women were immediately surprised, each showing a joyful smile, while Zhang Lijuan, not far away, was also quite excited, but as she wasn’t Chu Linfeng’s woman, she was too shy to join the commotion.
Then Princess Yiyi was the first to come in front of Chu Linfeng and said, "You little rogue, you still know how to come back! We all thought you didn’t want us anymore! How long do you plan to stay at home this time? Are you planning to leave again soon?"
Chu Linfeng was startled. He did need to leave here soon and must quickly return to Canglan Ancient Land. However, leaving them behind truly made him feel guilty. No wonder Zhang Lijuan said those words about being doomed to be apart; she had already seen through it all.
"Yiyi, don’t be angry. Didn’t I come back? I went to Death Tower Land because of important matters. You should understand; as a man, I naturally have my own affairs to handle. Don’t you think so? You wouldn’t want to see me idle every day, would you?" Chu Linfeng said.
"Lin Feng, I knew you had myriad excuses. Since you’re back, let’s say no more. We are your women and will support your decisions. Just hope that next time if something happens, you’ll discuss it with us, so we do not worry," Kong Feifei said at this time.
"I understand, Feifei, Ruoxi, Yiyi, I know you’ve suffered over the past six months. Today, let’s have a good drink; think of it as an apology from me. You can punish me however you want; will this suffice?" Chu Linfeng said.
"You said it, so don’t regret it later!" Princess Yiyi said gleefully, having caught an opportunity to teach Chu Linfeng a lesson.
"Lin Feng, I’m going to arrange for the servants to prepare the feast," Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly at Chu Linfeng and said.
"No need, I’ve already had someone prepare the feast. Since Lin Feng is back, we naturally need to celebrate. Without his help, I wouldn’t have ascended to the position of Human King, right?" Zhang Lijuan walked over and said.
Chu Linfeng glanced at Zhang Lijuan and laughed, "Lijuan, now that you’ve become Human King, your status is incredibly honorable. Having you personally accompany me feels a bit embarrassing."
"Hmph, just like I thought, nothing good comes out of your mouth. What’s with incredibly honorable? You didn’t even care for this Human King’s position; otherwise, you wouldn’t have let me have it!" Zhang Lijuan said.
"You know my situation. Let’s talk about it over drinks! Also, call Ouyang Hong and Feiyu; it’s been a while since we gathered. We need a good drink today."
"Feiyu, Ouyang Hong, and Xiao Qiang have all gone out. It’s just us few staying at the City Lord’s Mansion for now. Let’s drink less today; I don’t want to hear unsavory moaning screeching through my ears," Zhang Lijuan laughed.
As soon as she finished, Lin Ruoxi and the other two’s faces turned bright red like apples, all staring directly at Zhang Lijuan, puzzled as to why she would say something so embarrassing...
