Chapter 1175 - 1201: Gaining Trust

Lin Feng pondered how to flawlessly have Zhang Lijuan accept him so that he could approach her and force the stronger soul within her body out.

Although the Jade Immortal Emperor’s method was good, some parts were still unworkable. He didn’t know what he should transform into to make them believe he was Chu Linfeng.

He slowly recalled the words Zhang Lijuan said when she saw him. She thought Chu Linfeng was not a youth, so he should be a young or middle-aged man. He needed to change his appearance to look like this.

Once he figured this out, he immediately headed to Kong Feifei and the others’ banquet, and informed them of his intention to appear at the City Lord’s Mansion, asking them to put on a play and not leave the City Lord’s Mansion for now, canceling the original plan.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, the four of them were surprised but did not show it. They chatted happily during the banquet, while Lin Feng went outside the City Lord’s Mansion to a deserted place and disguised himself as a middle-aged man. Not truly middle-aged, just slightly more mature than a youth.

His appearance was very handsome, but only by exuding the aura of a strong presence could he make people believe he was Chu Linfeng. After all, it had been over a hundred years since he left the Netherworld, and not many people knew him back then.

As long as Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi did not expose him, no one would know he was disguised. He then went directly to the front gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Go summon your City Lord, say an old acquaintance wants to see her!" Lin Feng said calmly, but the powerful aura he emitted made the guarding soldier feel suffocated.

Faced with such a strong presence, the soldier dared not refuse and immediately entered the mansion to report to Zhang Lijuan, who was puzzled when she heard it was an acquaintance, unsure of what acquaintance she had.

Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi knew it had to be Lin Feng. Kong Feifei said, "Let’s go, let’s see who your acquaintance is. They have come to the City Lord’s Mansion but dare not enter. Seeing the soldier’s pale face indicates the visitor is quite formidable."

Zhang Lijuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let’s go see who has come. Today is quite eventful indeed."

Immediately, the group appeared at the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion while Lin Feng had his back to them. However, the powerful aura from him made everyone shiver with fear — a strong presence, and a very formidable one at that.

The three women looked at the back, and Zhang Lijuan then said, "Who are you? Why do you say you’re my acquaintance?"

Lin Feng slowly turned around, and Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi immediately exclaimed in unison, "Lin Feng! Is it really you?" Quickly running up to him, both threw themselves into Lin Feng’s arms.

"Yiyi, Feifei, how come you’re here? Have you been well recently?" Lin Feng said calmly, gently releasing the two women.

Zhang Lijuan felt a bit petrified at this moment. How another Lin Feng appeared, this man seemed somewhat real, and from the aura he emitted, it was evident he was a master, as she sensed powerful Immortal Spirit Power fluctuating on him.

Seeing Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi with tears on their faces, it was apparent that this was a joyful display, further proving this was indeed the formidable figure of the Netherworld, Lin Feng, her man.

Lin Feng then walked directly to Zhang Lijuan and said, "Lijuan, how can you see your husband and have no reaction at all? That’s not your nature — is it my sudden appearance that surprised you?"

Zhang Lijuan immediately regained her senses and said, "Lin Feng, your appearance is indeed too unexpected. I can hardly believe it; for a moment, it’s like dreaming, hence my reaction. You aren’t angry, right?"

Lin Feng hugged Zhang Lijuan tightly, quickly kissing her lips, and after a few breaths, he released her and said, "My Lijuan is still this flavor, I like it, hahahaha! Now you’ve managed the Human Race very well, let’s go inside and talk more!"

Kong Feifei and the two women felt amused by Lin Feng’s action, thinking Zhang Lijuan must be terribly depressed at this moment, kissed by a stranger and yet having to pretend to be thrilled.

Once inside the mansion, Chu Lian, Chu Xiao, and Chu Cheng looked at this unfamiliar middle-aged man. Chu Lian and Chu Cheng knew their father disguised himself, so they didn’t react to avoid revealing the act.

Lin Feng, holding Zhang Lijuan’s hand, approached the three, Zhang Lijuan’s face blushing slightly. At this time, Kong Feifei said to Chu Cheng, "Cheng’er, what are you standing there for? This is your father! Pay your respects!"

Chu Cheng pretended to be surprised and said, "Mom, he’s really my dad? You’re not deceiving me, are you?"

"Feifei, he’s our son? Unexpectedly he’s grown so big in a blink, and quite skilled too, very good! Father returned in such a hurry this time, has nothing good to give you, consider this Middle-Grade Immortal Stone as a meeting gift." Lin Feng directly took out a Middle-Grade Immortal Stone.

Chu Cheng glanced at Lin Feng and immediately said, "Cheng’er pays respect to father!" Then he directly received the Immortal Stone and began playing with it.

"Lian’er, don’t you know the etiquette? Must it be taught by mom?" Princess Yiyi said at this moment.

Chu Lian also immediately addressed Lin Feng, "Lian’er pays respect to father, didn’t expect my father to be so handsome, what gift does father have for me?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then took out a Jade Scroll from the Storage Ring, "Lian’er, this is a top-tier Cultivation Technique, it will assist you when you ascend to the Immortal Realm later."

Chu Lian received the Jade Scroll and immediately placed it in the Storage Ring, "Thank you, father. I often heard mom say father is a great man, a peerless master. Didn’t expect to meet father today, truly happy."

At this moment, Zhang Lijuan couldn’t afford to slip and immediately said to Chu Xiao, "Xiao’Er, your father has already given them meeting gifts, you should also show something. I believe what your father gives you will surely be better!"

Chu Xiao’s expression was unpredictable, glancing at Zhang Lijuan, and asked, "Mom, he’s really my father? Aren’t you all together to fool me again?"

Zhang Lijuan immediately snapped, "If he’s not your father, who is? Would mom deceive you?"

Chu Xiao then smiled, "Xiao’Er pays respect to father, please don’t blame Xiao’Er for being rude. Just now, two aunts tricked us with a fake one, so Xiao’Er acted this way."

"Oh, I see, no worries! This is a meeting gift from father, this elixir is extremely precious, it can save your life when in danger or gravely injured," Lin Feng said.

"Thank you, father!" Chu Xiao immediately said respectfully. At this moment, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as his plan was half completed...
