Walking down the street, Tao Tao couldn’t help but smile constantly. The days with Lin Feng were some of the most fulfilling of her life. Without Lin Feng, she could never have become the powerful leader at the peak of the Divine Origin Realm she was now.

"Tao Tao, you’re so powerful now and a grown woman too. You can get married!" Tangyuan teased Tao Tao, standing on Lin Feng’s shoulder and unable to resist teasing her.

"Tangyuan, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll cook you and eat you!" Tao Tao glared at Tangyuan, shouting out with irritation, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Cook me? You have to catch me first. I’m really curious. Everything I say is true, so why are you so against it?" Tangyuan paid no attention to the threat. Over the past two years, it and Tao Tao had talked about this countless times, and every time, Tao Tao’s fierce actions made it think there was definitely something going on with Tao Tao.

Upon hearing Tangyuan speak, Tao Tao’s face showed a sly expression as she raised her jade-like hand. Immediately, she released her Divine Sense, using the technique of Divine Consciousness Form Manifestation taught by Lin Feng, trapping Tangyuan in a tiny space.

"Boss, how could you teach her this!" Tangyuan cried when trapped, looking at Lin Feng with tears streaming down. It feared nothing else but this. If it had known Lin Feng taught Tao Tao the art of Divine Consciousness Manifestation, it would never dare to tease Tao Tao again.

"Why shouldn’t I teach it?" Lin Feng looked at Tangyuan, not showing any sympathy, smiling as he spoke.

"Boss... no one tricks beast like that..." Tangyuan was totally speechless after hearing Lin Feng’s words, feeling aggrieved. Afterward, it glanced at the approaching Tao Tao and saw the peculiar smile on her face, feeling an unprecedented sense of danger. Ignoring all dignity, it immediately begged Tao Tao for mercy.

"Beautiful Tao Tao, I was wrong, please forgive me. I’ll never talk nonsense again..." Tangyuan caved under the circumstances, feeling aggrieved inside, but for its safety, it had to beg Tao Tao. It just needed to get through this hurdle.

"Doesn’t seem like you?" Tao Tao walked over to Tangyuan, staring at its chubby body, and said, "Should I roast you or boil you? I estimate that with this chubby meat, roasting might be best."

After saying this, Tao Tao looked at Tangyuan as if she was eyeing a delicacy, causing Tangyuan’s fur to stand on end. It knew that expression very well and tears started pouring out like a fountain: "Beautiful Tao Tao, I really learned my lesson, please let me go, Tangyuan doesn’t want to die, I haven’t lived enough yet!"

"Really?" Tao Tao asked, smiling, but to Tangyuan, that smile looked like a demon.

"Really, truer than the Yuan Stone!" Tangyuan immediately responded, afraid that if it answered too slowly, Tao Tao would kill it.

Seeing Tangyuan truly reformed, Tao Tao’s face radiated with a brilliant smile. With a snap of her fingers, the Divine Consciousness Cage trapping Tangyuan disappeared. She actually never intended to harm Tangyuan. It just frequently had a death wish, making her want to discipline it. But regarding Lin Feng, after over two years together, she realized she genuinely liked him. Yet, she didn’t want Tangyuan disrupting this issue, which is why she disciplined Tangyuan.

"Phew... finally survived. This woman is terrifying..." Tangyuan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Tao Tao remove the Divine Consciousness Cage, imitating a human by wiping nonexistent sweat, instantly making Lin Feng and Tao Tao almost burst out laughing...

Joking and chatting along the way, cheerfully, before they realized it, they’d arrived outside Ning City. At Lin Feng’s suggestion, they first visited the grave of Geomancer Qianjue to pay their respects. After all, once they left, they didn’t know when they’d come back to visit again.

After paying their respects to Geomancer Qianjue, they headed toward Ning City. To avoid trouble, Lin Feng transformed into the burly man he was before, Tangyuan hid on Lin Feng’s shoulder, while Tao Tao remained in her original form, as she had a clear background.

Upon entering Ning City, Lin Feng didn’t go to the auction house but chose to go directly to Ye Family. Two years had quickly passed, and if no unexpected events happened, Elder Chu was surely transferred to another city. His visit to Ye Family was primarily to get in touch with Elder Chu.

Walking down the street, Lin Feng and Tao Tao caught everyone’s attention. Now, Tao Tao had grown into a super beauty. Without exaggeration, in the entire Ning City, there likely wasn’t a woman who could compete with Tao Tao. So, such a beauty appearing on the streets naturally drew the attention of others.

However, most people would just take a glance, knowing such a woman couldn’t be associated with them. But it didn’t mean everyone was like that. This world had plenty of reckless people.

Three young men suddenly rushed from afar, their eyes lighting up as they looked at Tao Tao and Lin Feng. The leader, appearing to be just over twenty years old, looked weak and pale from overindulgence, his face as white as paper, staring at Tao Tao with eyes eager to devour her.

"Beauty, let’s get acquainted. I’m Ye Zhiping from the Ye Family in Ning City. Does the beauty have time to accompany this young master for a meal?" Ye Zhiping couldn’t resist teasing Tao Tao. He had never seen such a high-level beauty, imagining that if dinner went well, other things could follow.

"Scram!" Tao Tao was disgusted upon seeing Ye Zhiping. When she lived in Ning City before, she had heard what kind of person he was, so she didn’t show him any kindness.

"Oh, beauty, got quite a temper! Care to drink the fine wine instead of the rough?" Ye Zhiping flared up after hearing Tao Tao’s words. In Ning City, who dared not give the Ye Family face? He merely spotted a beauty, and to be spoken to like that was as if she didn’t have any regard for the Ye Family.

"One more inch and you won’t need to scram!" Tao Tao was radiating murderous intent. Ye Zhiping, using the Ye Family’s power, had ruined countless women in Ning City. She was already controlling herself not to act!

Ye Zhiping had never seen anyone speak to him like this. Instantly enraged, he pointed at Tao Tao, prepared to hurl insults. But before he could speak, Tao Tao’s sharp eyes gleamed and Ye Zhiping collapsed to his knees.

This... What was this?

How could this happen?

...

The onlookers were all stunned, unable to comprehend the situation. The notorious fourth young master of the Ye Family kneeling before a woman, what could this mean?

Ye Zhiping was bewildered as well; he never intended to kneel, nor did he understand why. Was he seeing things today? Could this stunning beauty possibly be a ghost? Glancing at his dumbfounded subordinates, he quickly shouted, "What are you standing around for? Help me up!"

His two subordinates suddenly snapped out of it and hurried to help. But to their surprise, they couldn’t lift him at all, as if Ye Zhiping was glued to the ground, causing him to cry out in pain!

Tao Tao found Ye Zhiping’s cries irritating and with a wave, allowed him to stand. She was ready to act and eliminate him, but Lin Feng, standing beside Tao Tao, said, "You’re not used to your role yet. A strong person doesn’t act recklessly and we’re in the city now, let me handle this."

Then Lin Feng looked at Ye Zhiping and spoke casually, "I didn’t expect the Ye Family to stoop this low. I’ll give you a chance: break both your legs, or face the consequences."

"Break my legs? Who do you think you are? In Ning City, who dares break Laozi’s legs!" Ye Zhiping cursed upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. A mere kid from nowhere daring to speak like that was asking for trouble!

"Oh? How amusing!" Lin Feng responded to Ye Zhiping’s words, shook his head, and replied calmly.

"Kid, here’s an option: leave the beauty at once, or face my wrath. My Ye Family will..." Ye Zhiping was outraged and began to threaten Lin Feng. But before he could finish, a figure suddenly rushed from the distance, causing him to swallow his words.

An... Ancestor is here!

Seeing the Qianye Ancestor startled Ye Zhiping, nearly causing him to collapse. The Ancestor usually stayed in seclusion, rarely seen, yet today he suddenly appeared. What was going on?

But what shocked him even more was that after Qianye Ancestor appeared, he acted as if Ye Zhiping wasn’t even there, walking straight to the burly man and addressed him with utmost respect, "Fellow Cultivator, Qianye apologizes for being late, please excuse me."

Ah!

This is!

How could this be!

...

The spectators were utterly dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were witnessing. That was Qianye Ancestor, one of the top cultivators in Ning City, yet he appeared so humble before this young man. Who on earth was this young man?

Oh my heavens!

Witnessing this scene, Ye Zhiping’s vision darkened, nearly fainting. He could never have dreamed of such a scenario: the Ancestor treating this young man with such reverence, indicating the young man’s unimaginable stature. Reflecting on how he’d insulted the young man’s female companion and his earlier disrespect, he wished he could find a stone to smash his head, praying in his heart...
