Chapter 67: Unexpected Spirit Crystal

Ling Yong naturally couldn't find Xu Feng below, and in his rage, he brutally tore up the surrounding vegetation, venting his anger. Afterward, he led a group of people to search in all directions, not believing that Xu Feng could have gone far. Unfortunately, Xu Feng was in the middle of the cliff, so how could he find him?

After much futile effort, Ling Yong had no choice but to give up. In his fury, he led the group in a grand pursuit, hoping to catch up with Xu Feng. After all, just thinking about the treasures in the cave being taken by Xu Feng made him feel a deep pain.

Xu Feng, who had been meditating on the Daoxuan Scripture for a long time in the middle of the cliff, finally felt the pain in his head disappear.

Once the pain subsided, Xu Feng, who had been thinking about Xiao Yilin, carefully descended the cliff and ran to where she was hiding, worried that the young woman might be afraid after not seeing him for so long.

Ling Yong never thought that Xu Feng would return to the canyon, so Xu Feng's journey was very smooth, and he quickly reached where Xiao Yilin was hiding. When Xu Feng arrived, he found Xiao Yilin huddled in a ball, looking around warily with a pale face, her fear making her look pitiful.

Xu Feng felt a pang of guilt, feeling that leaving Xiao Yilin here was a sin. He thought, "She's just a little girl; how could she not be afraid in this desolate place?" Yet, he had believed she could endure it.

"Miss!" Xu Feng called out softly to Xiao Yilin.

Xiao Yilin's body trembled at the sound, but when she saw it was Xu Feng, she immediately became excited, jumping up and hugging him tightly, as if finding a support. Xu Feng could even feel her relieved expression: "Xu Feng! You're back!"

Xiao Yilin's slightly cold body pressed against Xu Feng, making him wrap his arms around her soft body tightly, pressing his forehead against her hair and whispering in her ear, "Miss! I won't let you worry and be afraid here alone anymore."

Xiao Yilin's body trembled in Xu Feng's arms but quickly returned to normal. She said with a touch of coquettishness, "I'm not afraid anymore, you don't need to worry about me."

Hearing Xiao Yilin's words, Xu Feng hugged her even tighter, as if trying to dispel her fear.

Xiao Yilin, being held obediently by Xu Feng, seemed to enjoy the peace, wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her face against his chest.

"Xu Feng!" After a long while, Xiao Yilin suddenly called out.

"Hmm?"

"I can't breathe! Can you let me go!" Xiao Yilin, who was nestled in Xu Feng's arms, suddenly said.

"Ah!" Xu Feng quickly released Xiao Yilin, only to see her blushing and looking at him with a coquettish glare, "Xu Feng, you're so bad!"

"Hmm!" Xu Feng was taken aback, looking at his hand that Xiao Yilin was staring at, and only then realized that his hand had been on her buttocks. He shrugged innocently, "Miss, it was a complete accident."

Xiao Yilin huffed, giving Xu Feng a flirtatious look, "I'll tell Uncle about you touching my butt."

Xu Feng almost fell over, thinking, "Miss, can you not be so direct?" "That, Miss. I think you shouldn't blame me for an accident."

Xiao Yilin spat lightly, thinking, "An accident could last so long, and you even squeezed it a couple of times." Thinking of this, Xiao Yilin felt her heart pounding.

"If you're bad again, I won't talk to you." Xiao Yilin glared at him with her long, alluring eyes, trying to look fierce, but her youthful charm was captivating.

"Definitely, definitely!" Xu Feng said firmly.

Xiao Yilin looked at Xu Feng intently. When Xu Feng felt his heart racing under her gaze, she suddenly said, "Xu Feng! Do you know that every time you lie, your eyes get bigger than usual?"

"Ah! Really?!" Xu Feng felt cold sweat on his forehead. He had never known he had this habit. Was this Miss too perceptive?

"Did you often deceive girls before?" Xiao Yilin stared at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng tried to keep his eyes normal, not daring to open them too wide: "How could I deceive girls!"

Xiao Yilin stared at Xu Feng, then suddenly smiled, "Don't lie anymore. And don't have any improper thoughts about me!"

Xu Feng didn't know if Xiao Yilin had seen through something. She didn't dwell on the issue and walked out of the canyon.

Looking at the alluring young woman in front of him, Xu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that after so many years of indulgence, he had been made to look so狼狈 by a little girl. If this got out, who would believe it?

Women, indeed, cannot be judged by common sense or age!

Because of Ling Yong, Xu Feng was extremely cautious with Xiao Yilin. Xiao Yilin asked if they had taken anything from Ling Yong, and after Xu Feng showed her the sword, she was immediately attracted to it, playing with the sword that looked quite impressive.

On the way to find Xiao Lin, in a small canyon, Xu Feng actually saw the spirit beast that had been shot by Ling Yong and his group. The spirit beast lay on the ground, blood seeping from its body, the blood black, indicating that Ling Yong and his group had used poison.

Compared to the black snake with black lightning, these lower-level spirit beasts were very weak against poison. The spirit beast, upon seeing Xu Feng, showed fear in its eyes, trying to crawl away, but its injuries and poisoning left it with no strength. After a few staggering steps, it collapsed.

Seeing the spirit beast with many arrows still in its body, Xu Feng naturally wouldn't let it go. He drew his sword and cautiously approached, wanting to see if it had a spirit crystal inside.

"Whoosh..."

The spirit beast tried to muster a force to attack Xu Feng, but in its current state, the force was slow and easily dodged by Xu Feng. Then, with Xu Feng's sword, he stabbed the spirit beast, which offered almost no resistance and was easily killed. After it died, Xu Feng indeed found a crystal-like object inside it.

"Spirit Crystal!" Xu Feng showed it to Xiao Yilin, who also didn't expect Xu Feng to be so lucky to find a spirit crystal.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yilin couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Ling Yong. Not only had the treasure he sought been taken by Xu Feng, but even the spirit crystal from the injured spirit beast was taken by Xu Feng. If he knew, he would probably be so angry that he would spit blood.

Xiao Yilin didn't know that Ling Bo, the second-in-command of the Ling family, had been killed by Xu Feng. If she knew this, she wouldn't think the spirit crystal was a big deal. Compared to Ling Bo's death, a small spirit crystal was nothing.

Xiao Lin and the others had traveled far in their pursuit of the spirit beasts. After a long time, Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin finally found them.

When Xu Feng saw Xiao Lin and the others, they all looked very disheveled, even Sun Bo had some injuries.

Seeing Xu Feng and Xiao Yilin, and confirming that Xiao Yilin was unharmed, Xiao Lin sighed in relief, "Let's go back!"

The despondency in his tone was evident, which made Xu Feng ask, "Young Master! Didn't you kill the spirit beast?"

Xiao Lin shook his head, "We killed three spirit beasts and even lost some people, but unfortunately, none of them had a spirit crystal."

After saying this, Xiao Lin's face was full of bitterness. Not finding a single spirit crystal among three spirit beasts was indeed very unlucky, something that had never happened before.

Xu Feng was taken aback, not expecting such a result. He turned to Xiao Yilin, who quickly took out the spirit crystal and handed it to Xiao Lin, saying, "Xu Feng and I found one. It can be used by Uncle."

The spirit crystal in Xiao Yilin's hand made Xiao Lin's eyes light up. He looked at Xu Feng excitedly, "How did you get it?"

Xiao Yilin smiled smugly, "Xu Feng and I killed it. We're pretty good, right!"

This statement made everyone, including Sun Bo, stare at Xu Feng in disbelief. They ignored Xiao Yilin, as her strength was barely enough to not be a burden to Xu Feng. But Xu Feng killing a spirit beast alone? How was that possible?

Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Xu Feng smiled slightly and said, "It was just luck. The Ling family group had already severely injured it, and I just finished it off."

However, this statement only made Xiao Lin more puzzled. If the Ling family had already injured it, taking it from them would be even harder.

But seeing that they had achieved their goal, the group didn't question how Xu Feng got it. The originally dejected group now had a bit of cheer.

Xiao Lin patted Xu Feng's shoulder hard, "I knew bringing you would be useful!"

Xu Feng smiled, thinking about whether to tell Xiao Lin that he had killed Ling Bo. This would be a major shock to the Xiao family. However, after some thought, he decided not to say anything. Once they were out of the mountains, Xiao Lin would find out on his own.
