Chapter 68

Chapter 69: He is Only Sixteen Years Old

Just as Xu Feng had anticipated, the news of his slaying Ling Bo sent shockwaves through the entire town. Every family, including the Xiao family, was stunned. No one could believe that the well-known Ling Bo of the town could be killed by a young servant. However, the news left them no choice but to believe it. From this news, they learned that Xu Feng had taken what should have belonged to the Ling family. He had taken it from dozens of Ling family subordinates!

The townspeople also heard that after the Ling family’s eldest son returned home, he began smashing things in a frenzy. Even the head of the Ling family turned ashen-faced upon seeing Ling Bo’s body. The entire Ling family was enveloped in an unusually oppressive atmosphere.

No one knew that when the head of the Ling family first saw Ling Bo’s body, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Especially when he heard that the items in the cave had not been obtained, his anger reached its peak!

He had discovered in a rare book that a great master had passed away in that place, leaving behind a ground-level martial technique and a type of medicine that he needed. But he never expected that it would end up benefiting someone else, and even more tragically, he had lost his trusted aide, Uncle Sun.

At this moment, the head of the Ling family’s hatred for Xu Feng even surpassed his hatred for the long-standing enemy, the Xiao family.

In stark contrast, the people of the Xiao family were overjoyed. They couldn’t believe that the once-cowardly youth of their family could now slay a Ninth Rank Mystic. Was the world going crazy?

Not long ago, this servant was someone who could be bullied by anyone, but now he had become a figure that everyone in the town looked up to. Could life really be so unpredictable?

Of course, the Xiao family was delighted by Ling Bo’s death. A weakening of the Ling family would only benefit them.

After his initial excitement, Xiao Lin suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but curse, “Damn it! Xu Feng, you bastard, didn’t I tell you not to surpass me?!”

Of course, this curse made all the servants run away quickly. They secretly despised this young master: How could someone be so shameless as to make others wait for their cultivation? Why not let Xu Feng take the position of young master?

However, after the joy, the head of the Xiao family ordered everyone to be on high alert. After all, the death of a Ninth Rank Mystic could very well drive the Ling family to extreme actions!

What surprised the Xiao family was that the Ling family showed no reaction at all. The town remained peaceful, which left everyone in the town feeling astonished.

The head of the Xiao family, unable to figure it out, stopped thinking about it. But when he thought of finding Xu Feng, he discovered that Xu Feng was not in the Xiao residence. This made the head of the Xiao family frown slightly, thinking that this young man was truly bold. He had just killed Ling Bo and was already running around. Didn’t he know that the Ling family wanted to flay him alive?

The head of the Xiao family, of course, did not know that Xu Feng was currently in Ye Si’s pavilion.

In front of Xu Feng, the enchanting Ye Si made him forget all danger!

“Be more careful in the future. Killing Ling Bo, who held a special position in the Ling family, they won’t let you off easily,” Ye Si looked at the slender youth in front of her, amazed by his strength while also feeling a headache. This servant seemed a bit too reckless.

Xu Feng gazed at Ye Si without restraint. She was tightly wrapped in a light yellow short robe, her waist slender and taut, yet soft. Occasionally, a segment of her skin, tender and smooth like jade, would be exposed. Her full buttocks and slender waist connected in a wondrous and alluring curve, making Xu Feng’s heart tingle.

“Not killing him! He wanted to kill me!” Xu Feng smiled slightly, showing no concern.

Ye Si felt a bit helpless, rubbing her head as she said, “What do we do now? Provoking the Ling family, with their strength, you can’t possibly stand up to them in this town.”

“I’m not worried about that. As long as the Xiao family doesn’t abandon me. If I’m careful, the Ling family can’t do much unless their head acts personally,” Xu Feng smiled slightly.

Ye Si looked at the sharp-featured Xu Feng. He always carried a calmness and confidence that didn’t belong to a youth, as if nothing could stop him. Looking at him always gave her a sense of reassurance, a feeling that shouldn’t belong to a young man.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Ye Si staring at him, Xu Feng asked curiously, his eyes boldly meeting hers. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her clear, bright eyes met his. Ye Si, seeing the intense gaze in Xu Feng’s eyes, raised an eyebrow but did not look away. Xu Feng felt his breathing tighten first. This woman was truly a disaster!

“Sometimes I doubt if you’re really a youth!” Ye Si giggled, her red lips curved.

Xu Feng shrugged, “I told you before! I’m not much younger than you, so Sister Ye Si, you don’t need to feel any pressure.”

Ye Si, seeing that Xu Feng still couldn’t resist teasing her, rolled her eyes and said, “Giggles! I wouldn’t dare to have a man who deceives girls. I might thank you even if you sell me.”

Looking at the smiling Ye Si, Xu Feng smiled slightly, “Selling is because I’m willing to let go. If I’m not willing, no price can make me. Sister Ye Si, do you think I would be willing to sell you?”

Ye Si met Xu Feng’s bright eyes, her deep, dark pupils making her feel a bit flustered. She couldn’t help but turn her head, unable to meet Xu Feng’s gaze.

“Let’s go help Uncle Ye swallow the black lightning!” Ye Si changed the subject.

Xu Feng nodded, thinking that this time, Uncle Ye was almost done. Although there was still some residual black lightning in his body, finding these small traces in different parts of his body was not much better than Uncle Ye dealing with them himself.

The rest would have to rely on Uncle Ye. Xu Feng’s Pure Mystic Technique was quite effective for Uncle Ye, but compared to the damage caused by the black lightning, the three times he could use the technique were just a drop in the bucket.

Xu Feng thought that if he could reach the Spirit Entry realm, the Pure Mystic Technique would be much more effective.

Thinking about how both the Pure Mystic Technique and the Cold Seal Technique required spiritual energy, Xu Feng felt that reaching the Spirit Entry realm was crucial.

After Xu Feng helped Uncle Ye swallow the black lightning, Uncle Ye looked at Xu Feng and smiled, “I didn’t expect you to be able to slay a Ninth Rank Mystic. When do you plan to advance to the Tenth Rank?”

“Ah! Tenth Rank?!” Xu Feng was taken aback, looking at Uncle Ye with a bitter smile, “It’s not that simple. I’ve only just reached the Ninth Rank. It’s hard to say how long it will take to reach the Tenth Rank.”

Uncle Ye shook his head, “Hehe! For others, it might be, but for you, a prodigy, it’s not that difficult. You’re already at the Ninth Rank, and you’ve tapped into most of your body’s strength. To reach the Tenth Rank, you need to discover the strength in parts of your body that are harder to tap into. Hehe, but since you have spiritual energy, it’s not that hard for you.”

“Not hard for me? Can you explain a bit more, Uncle Ye?” Xu Feng asked curiously.

Uncle Ye smiled, “You’re unique. You have spiritual energy even before reaching the Spirit Entry realm. Compared to strength, spiritual energy is undoubtedly much stronger. If you can integrate a bit of spiritual energy into your strength, it can completely replace the strength you haven’t tapped into, allowing you to reach the Tenth Rank.”

“Integrate spiritual energy into strength?” Xu Feng was taken aback, thinking he didn’t even know what his spiritual energy was, let alone how to integrate it into strength.

However, the method Uncle Ye suggested was not impossible. With spiritual energy being much stronger than strength, if Xu Feng could integrate it into his strength, he could achieve the power of a Tenth Rank Mystic, or even exceed it, without tapping into all the hidden strength in his body. This method was undoubtedly much easier than finding all the hidden strength.

“Hehe! This is just an idea. I don’t know if it will work!” Uncle Ye smiled slightly, “But you can try. Even if it doesn’t work, it won’t harm you. If it does, your strength will greatly increase, and you won’t have to hold back when facing the Ling family.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Ye!” Xu Feng smiled, looking at Ye Si and said, “I’ll go try it! Uncle Ye’s black lightning is almost gone. From now on, it’s up to you.”

Uncle Ye nodded, “No problem! Without the black lightning, I can recover slowly.”

Xu Feng smiled and took his leave from Uncle Ye, leaving the pavilion.

Uncle Ye watched Ye Si’s gaze follow Xu Feng’s back, her eyes showing an unprecedented expression. Uncle Ye couldn’t help but sigh, “Pity he’s just a sixteen-year-old boy!”

Hearing this, Ye Si’s body trembled slightly. She knew what Uncle Ye meant.

Seeing Ye Si bite her lip, Uncle Ye sighed, “Your age, status, and position. If something happens between you and a sixteen-year-old boy, you should understand the serious consequences.”

Ye Si’s face turned pale, and she laughed bitterly, looking at Uncle Ye, “Uncle Ye, what are you saying? Do you think I would be interested in a sixteen-year-old boy?”

Uncle Ye shook his head, “Xu Feng really doesn’t seem like a sixteen-year-old boy. But he is one.”

Hearing Uncle Ye’s words, Ye Si shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Ye! I won’t develop any feelings for a sixteen-year-old boy.”

Uncle Ye shook his head and said nothing more. He wasn’t worried about other boys, but this boy who didn’t seem like a boy was a different matter. However, if Ye Si remembered the gap between her and Xu Feng, his warning wasn’t in vain.

A woman in her mid-twenties and a sixteen-year-old boy, with Ye Si’s reputation and status, could push both of them into an abyss from which there was no return.
