Chapter 420: Chapter 419: This Gift Isn’t Bad at All

Ye Feng grinned. "You haven’t even seen the really impressive stuff yet!"

Deng Ling’Er was incredibly sharp. How could she not realize he was making an inappropriate joke? She didn’t say a word, just stared at him with her wide eyes.

Ye Feng immediately felt ashamed, rubbing his hands together with a sheepish chuckle.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Deng Ling’Er chuckled. "By the way, why aren’t you using your Qilin Armor?"

Ye Feng curled his lip. "They aren’t worthy of it. I’m saving the Qilin Armor for that old bastard, Ning Xuan. I’m going to give him a little surprise!"

Deng Ling’Er’s eyes lit up. "You’re planning to take on that old scoundrel, the Fengdu Emperor, yourself?"

"I want to give it a shot. I can’t keep bothering Master with everything," Ye Feng said calmly. "After all, I have to walk my own path."

Deng Ling’Er’s eyes grew brighter. "Okay, you get a point for that."

Ye Feng: "..."

Just then, Duncan, who was standing nearby, cried out anxiously to Ye Feng:

"Ye Feng, you have no idea how terrifying that old coot Ning Xuan is! You could tie up all the masters in the underworld, and they still wouldn’t be a match for him alone."

"So you can’t possibly take him on! Not even with the Qilin Armor! Your master has to intervene. Otherwise, the rest of us will be completely wiped out!"

Ye Feng replied calmly, "Master said they will step in if the situation becomes critical."

Hearing this, Duncan heaved a long sigh of relief. "Oh, that’s a relief. A real relief!"

At that moment, a wolf cub whimpered nearby.

Ye Feng turned to see a small, pure-white wolf cub approaching him, repeatedly nuzzling against his leg.

"What a beautiful little creature!" Watching the cub’s adorable antics, Deng Ling’Er was completely charmed.

She bent down, reaching out to pet the cub, but it took a step back and bared its teeth at her.

Deng Ling’Er jumped back in surprise. She turned to Ye Feng, confused. "It seems... hostile toward me?"

Ye Feng laughed. "You’re the one who set the trap last time. You nearly snapped its hind leg."

"So this is the little white wolf you saved?" Deng Ling’Er looked at Ye Feng. "If I’d known it was this cute, I would have never targeted it! Ye Feng, I adore it!"

Ye Feng smiled and leaned down to whisper a few words in the cub’s ear. Only then did the little wolf nod and reluctantly approach Deng Ling’Er.

Deng Ling’Er reached out and stroked its fluffy white fur, her face breaking into a joyful smile.

In that moment, she was no longer the decisive, deadly assassin, but a sweet girl next door.

Watching the pixie-like Deng Ling’Er, Ye Feng found himself staring, completely captivated.

Just then, Deng Ling’Er looked up at Ye Feng and asked curiously, "Ye Feng, what did you just say to it? Why is it suddenly so obedient?"

The Blood Phoenix walked over, looked at Deng Ling’Er, and said, "I heard what he said. He told the little wolf that he’s its godfather, and you’re its godmother..."

Sensing the murderous intent in Deng Ling’Er’s eyes, Ye Feng quickly said, "I just remembered I have something to do. I’ll be leaving first!"

With that, he beat a hasty retreat.

A flicker of a smile crossed Deng Ling’Er’s eyes. She then looked at the giant white wolf nearby and asked the Blood Phoenix, puzzled:

"It listens to you now?"

The Blood Phoenix nodded. "Actually, the Eastern Ghost Emperor had placed a restraint on it, so I couldn’t command it. But at the critical moment, the little cub told it that Ye Feng had saved its life. That’s how it finally broke free from the restraint."

"Now, it has become my friend. In the future, if I want to command the other giant wolves, it just has to give the order. I don’t even need to use my beast taming arts anymore!"

Deng Ling’Er nodded. Watching Ye Feng in the distance, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. ’He’s actually pretty reliable when it matters.’

The Blood Phoenix smiled. "Sister, he’s a good man. Why don’t you just accept him?"

Deng Ling’Er’s pretty face flushed. "His current skills aren’t enough to win me over yet. I still need to... evaluate him further!"

The Blood Phoenix’s eyes darted slyly. She leaned close to Deng Ling’Er and whispered:

"Sister, let me tell you a secret. If you... form that kind of relationship with him, not only will your cultivation level soar, but his will also increase at a meteoric pace!"

"Is that even possible? You’re kidding me, right?" Deng Ling’Er stared at the Blood Phoenix.

The Blood Phoenix smiled. "Sister, do you know what my cultivation was before? Martial Immortal Tier One. And do you know what it is now? Martial Immortal Tier Seven! Besides *that*, do you really think it’s possible for me to jump six whole tiers in such a short time?"

A bright glint flashed in Deng Ling’Er’s eyes. In the next moment, she looked at the Blood Phoenix, confused. "Sister, shouldn’t you be against me getting together with him? Why are you pushing us together now?"

The Blood Phoenix gritted her teeth. "I’ve heard he already has a bunch of wives at home. When I get there, I’m bound to be bullied. So I need to pull you onto my side! With a smart sister like you helping me, we’ll see who dares to bully me then!"

Deng Ling’Er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’So that was her motive,’ she thought. ’I guess there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.’

She turned to look at Ye Feng, a slight smile playing on her lips as she murmured, ’A "gift" that can rapidly increase my cultivation... now that’s not bad at all!’
