Chapter 522: Chapter 522 I Defeated the Local Street Thugs and Somehow Inherited an Underground Underworld Empire
A gentle smile appeared on Ye Jian’s face as she tightened her grip on Lin Feng’s hand.
The feeling of security he gave her was unlike anything she had ever known.
No matter what happened, she knew that as long as Lin Feng was by her side, nothing in existence could harm her.
After all, she didn’t even know the limits of his strength.
But she had seen him crush supreme cultivators who had ruled for millions of years leaving her to only guess at the true, unfathomable scale of Lin Feng’s power.
The two continued walking for quite some time. Occasionally they would stop to admire the scenery.
Sometimes they simply stood together and watched the waves.
Other times they talked about random things.
They discussed places they wanted to visit, worlds they had yet to explore, and experiences they wished to share together.
The conversation flowed naturally. Neither wanted the peaceful moment to end.
As the hours passed, the sun slowly began descending toward the horizon.
The sky transformed into a breathtaking masterpiece of gold, orange, red, and purple.
The entire ocean reflected those colors, making it appear as though the sea itself had turned into liquid fire.
Ye Jian could not help but stare in awe.
"It is beautiful."
Lin Feng looked at the sunset before turning his attention toward her.
"Not as beautiful as you."
Ye Jian immediately lowered her gaze.
Even after everything they had experienced together, his words still had the power to make her heart race.
"You really know how to say embarrassing things."
Lin Feng chuckled.
"I am only speaking the truth."
Ye Jian lightly bumped her shoulder against his.
The two laughed together.
At that moment, there were no enemies, no cultivation realms, no political schemes, and no responsibilities waiting for them.
There was only the endless ocean, the setting sun, and the comfort of each other’s presence.
For someone who had spent more than a hundred years fighting against the harsh realities of the cultivation world, such peace felt priceless.
Ye Jian leaned her head against Lin Feng’s shoulder while they continued their walk along the shoreline.
The cool breeze carried the scent of the ocean while the final rays of sunlight illuminated the world around them.
Neither spoke for a while. Words were unnecessary.
The comfortable silence between them said more than any conversation ever could.
As the sun finally disappeared beyond the horizon, Ye Jian closed her eyes and smiled.
For the first time in her long life, she felt completely content.
And deep in her heart, she hoped that this peaceful journey with Lin Feng would continue forever.
While Lin Feng was enjoying some downtime with Ye Jian, whispering sweet words to her and chatting about all sorts of things, he simultaneously created a clone and sent it looking for someone very special in his heart.
For someone of his level, multitasking was effortless.
He could hold a conversation, manipulate countless laws of reality, and oversee entire worlds at the same time without the slightest difficulty.
Creating a clone to handle a small matter was as simple as breathing.
His clone stepped through space and arrived on a certain place in an instant.
Within moments, it had already located its target.
Lin Feng entered a quiet restaurant and walked toward a table near the window.
Seated there was a beautiful woman dressed in a white blouse and a blue skirt.
Her elegant appearance attracted occasional glances from nearby customers, but she paid them no attention.
"May I join you?" Lin Feng asked politely.
The woman looked up.
For a brief moment, surprise and recognition flashed across her eyes.
It was quickly hidden, however, and her expression returned to normal.
"Sure," she replied.
Lin Feng sat down across from her.
Neither of them spoke much during the meal.
The atmosphere was calm and peaceful.
They exchanged only a few casual words before continuing with their own meals.
After some time, they finished eating.
"See you around," Lin Feng said.
The woman nodded.
The two parted ways and went about their own business.
A day later, the woman was walking alone through the city during the afternoon.
The streets were crowded with pedestrians, and the weather was pleasant.
Everything appeared normal at first glance. Unfortunately, trouble was never far away for an extremely beautiful woman.
A group of fifteen men staggered out from a nearby bar.
The strong smell of alcohol surrounded them. Their eyes quickly landed on the woman.
The way they looked at her immediately made her uncomfortable. One of the men whistled.
Another grinned maliciously. Without warning, they moved to surround her.
The woman attempted to walk around them, but they blocked every path.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly.
The men merely laughed.
Their drunken confidence made them fearless.
"Come on, sweetheart. Why are you in such a hurry?" one of them said.
Another stepped closer.
"We just want to have some fun."
The woman’s expression darkened.
She immediately turned and attempted to leave, but one of the men grabbed her wrist.
She struggled and pulled away.
"Let go of me!"
The gang members laughed even harder.
A few of them began trying to force her toward a nearby alleyway.
"Help!" the woman shouted.
Her voice echoed through the street. Many people heard her. Some slowed down.
Others turned their heads. Yet despite seeing what was happening, nobody stepped forward.
Some feared being beaten. Others feared retaliation from the gang.
A few simply lowered their heads and hurried away, pretending they had seen nothing.
The woman’s heart sank.
"No one’s going to save you, ma’am," one of the drunk men said with a grin.
His companions burst into laughter.
"You’ve got quite the figure."
"I wonder what’s hiding under those clothes."
The men continued closing in around her.
The woman clenched her fists.
Fear appeared in her eyes, but there was anger as well.
Just as the situation seemed ready to spiral completely out of control, a calm voice suddenly echoed from the entrance of the alley.
"Fifteen men against one woman."
"That’s rather pathetic."
The laughter immediately stopped.
Every head turned toward the source of the voice.
Standing there with his hands casually in his pockets was Lin Feng.
His expression was calm.
But his eyes were ice cold.
