Chapter 260 - The Mean Li Xiang
Chapter 260 The Mean Li Xiang
“Oh right! I’ll give you all of these things! Feel free to give me a price!”
Zhou Feng kept the map. He then took out a bunch of storage bags and handed them to Elder Zheng. It would be best if he could sell all of them today.
“Okay!” Elder Zheng tried to read Zhou Feng’s expression but did not say anything.
Anyway, he had already reminded him of what should be reminded. Whatever happened next had nothing to do with him.
“Oh right! These few spiritual artifacts are for you!”
Zhou Feng thought for a moment and took two spiritual artifacts out of his storage ring.
These two low-grade spiritual artifacts were his spoils of war, but they were of little use to him.
Still, they should be of some use to Elder Zheng
After all, he didn’t know when he would be able to return after leaving Heavenly Star City.
Elder Zheng had helped him before, so Zhou Feng could use these two spiritual artifacts as a token of his goodwill.
Perhaps Elder Zheng himself wouldn’t be able to use them, but his juniors should.
“This…”
Elder Zheng hesitated for a moment but accepted the spiritual artifacts in the end.
After that, Zhou Feng waited for some time.
He was in a hurry to sell his spoils of war, so they were not exchanged for many Spirit Stones, just for a few hundred thousand.
Zhou Feng did not say anything about it as he considered all these items junk. He had long sorted out the useful items.
He was already quite surprised that those pieces of junk that took up space could be exchanged for more than 100,000 Spirit Stones.
For Zhou Feng, Spirit Stones were not that scarce.
It was probably because cultivating the Human Emperor Scripture required different cultivation resources than ordinary people.
After everything was settled, Li Rong also arrived at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Zhou Feng and Li Rong met again in a private room.
Li Rong was a completely different person compared to before.
Li Rong had been as pure as clear water in the past, and her every action would reveal a childish air. When she looked at Zhou Feng, she would occasionally reveal a silly smile.
However, she appeared a little calm and gave off an austere air right now. Her hair and clothes fluttered in the wind, and her face betrayed the temperament of a noble. It was as if she had grown up overnight.
“Big Brother Zhou?”
“Yes!”
It was still the same simple conversation from before.
Li Rong could not help but laugh at that familiar one-word answer.
To be honest, Li Rong had indeed grown up quite a bit during this period.
This was a result of achieving some results, the determination to cultivate seriously, and the pressure from her clan.
Ever since Li Rong began to consume the clan’s precious cultivation resources, some clansmen treated her with malice.
That was something she had never experienced before.
She was the Li Clan’s pearl, yet she was the target of so much malice. And this was only because Li Rong occupied some cultivation resources.
At the same time, some rumors pertaining to Zhou Feng and Li Rong started to circulate.
That kind of pressure was a nightmare for a girl who had yet to experience the world.
The so-called familial love was only built on the premise of not fighting with them for cultivation resources.
Under such circumstances, coupled with Li Manya’s teachings, Li Rong finally faced reality.
Regarding this, the Li Clan’s patriarch was gratified.
The previous Li Rong had been too naive and hated conflict, but it was not too late for her to wake up now.
Zhou Feng was silent for a while, but he still said what he wanted to say, “I’m leaving Heavenly Star City.”
Li Rong immediately replied, “I know!”
Both sides fell silent again because they did not know what to say this time.
Zhou Feng might have some good feelings toward Li Rong, but only some good feelings. He didn’t want to give the wrong impression.
Compared to Li Rong’s clan background, Zhou Feng could be considered to be penniless.
No matter if it was cultivation resources or anything else, Li Rong had the Li Clan behind her, so her cultivation path would definitely be smoother than following him.
Moreover, romantic feelings weren’t what he wanted.
Pursuing longevity was Zhou Feng’s goal.
Although Zhou Feng chanted that in his heart, he did not know why he felt a little guilty when facing Li Rong, who was staring at him closely.
Li Rong didn’t avert her eyes this time. She was looking at him with an extremely pure gaze.
Zhou Feng pretended to lower his head and took out the Death Substitution Gu. “I will give this to you.”
“This is?”
Li Rong scrutinized the strange insect but did not take it.
From its appearance, Li Rong felt that this was something extraordinary.
“This is a Death Substitution Gu. It can save your life in times of crisis. Take it,” Zhou Feng casually explained. Li Rong still did not take it and asked a question in return, “What about you?”
“I have other methods, don’t worry about me. Take it.”
Although his words were not very convincing, this Death Substitution Gu was useless to Zhou Feng.
He had the passive Nirvana Rebirth, and the Death Substitution Gu could not enter his body because he cultivated the Human Emperor Scripture.
Leng Maner had gifted the Death Substitution Gu to him, yet he now wanted to give it to Li Rong?
Wasn’t he a bit of a scumbag?
“Alright!”
No one knew what Li Rong was thinking, but she accepted the Death Substitution Gu in the end.
“It’s about time. I’m leaving.”
Zhou Feng could not stand this silent atmosphere, so he decided to leave after handing the Death Substitution Gu.
It was better to leave Heavenly Star City and head to the Southern Sea as soon as possible.
“Let me send you off.”
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Li Rong’s face.
That smile contained the meaning of not being able to refuse.
He did not object, and the two slowly walked out of the private room.
“Yo! This is so romantic! You are finally willing to come out?”
What Zhou Feng did not expect was that an unpleasant voice entered his ears the moment they stepped out.
A group of people had unknowingly surrounded the private room.
The leader was a woman, and behind her was a group of people who looked like they were watching a show.
“You look quite handsome! No wonder Li Rong gave you the Crystal Warm Jade!”
Li Xiang approached him, her tone strange.
This person looked a little similar to Li Rong. She looked smoking hot with seductive red lips and wore a gauze skirt, revealing large patches of snow-white skin. She gave off a very flirtatious feeling.
The only pity was that her thin lips seemed a little harsh and mean.
Zhou Feng glanced at Li Xiang indifferently and then observed Li Rong’s reaction.
Li Xiang ignored Li Rong and threatened Zhou Feng, “What are you looking at? Don’t look at her anymore! I came here just to tell you that if you know what’s good for you, you’ll hand over the Crystal Warm Jade!
“Otherwise, you will not be able to leave Heavenly Star City today!”
