Chapter 74

Jiang Anping glanced indifferently at Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng, holding a sword, his face full of mockery towards Jiang Anping, said, "What kind of look is that? Not convinced? Let's fight."

Having lost five million, he was in a terrible mood and wanted to vent.

Meng Jing stepped forward, sarcastically mocking, "Oh, who's the one who lost five million? What's your name again? Losing five million, the disciple of Piaomiao Sect is really rich."

Mentioning this, Zhou Feng felt a lump in his chest.

Losing five million on a stone gamble had made him lose interest in cultivation. Every time he thought about it, he regretted it deeply, wondering why he was so foolish to buy five million worth of junk.

Zhou Feng's expression twisted as he cursed at Jiang Anping, "Waste, you only know how to hide behind women."

"Slap~"

A slap suddenly struck Zhou Feng's face, turning it red.

Zhou Feng looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

Xia Qing stared at Zhou Feng with disdain, coldly saying, "Jiang Anping is my brother now. What right do you have to call him a waste?"

"Considering you didn't know before, I'll let it go this time. If it happens again, I'll make sure you can never speak again!"

The many geniuses of Heifeng County, seeing this, widened their eyes.

How did Jiang Anping become the younger brother of the princess?

Although Meng Jing was also shocked, she had a rough idea of the reason.

As long as one wasn't a fool, they could guess the reason.

It must be because of the Fire Lotus Enlightenment Seed.

Everyone looked at Jiang Anping with envy; becoming the princess's brother was something many people dreamed of.

Zhou Feng felt a burning pain in his face.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the terrifying aura emanating from Xia Qing, ready to strike at any moment, made him hesitate.

Zhou Feng, suppressing his anger, lowered his head, his eyes full of resentment.

Although Piaomiao Sect didn't fear the Great Xia, his status was far below that of the Ninth Princess.

Even if he were slapped, or even killed, Piaomiao Sect would at most come to protest and demand some compensation.

Xia Qing no longer paid attention to him, smiling as she hugged Jiang Anping's waist, "Brother, can't you fly yet? I'll take you."

"Everyone else, follow behind."

With that, she flew up to the buildings above the Jiaolong Mountain Peak.

The other geniuses gradually recovered from their shock and followed.

They didn't expect Xia Qing to be so protective, willing to offend a genius of Piaomiao Sect for Jiang Anping.

Following the princess would definitely not be a loss.

Seeing Jiang Anping in Xia Qing's arms, Meng Jing felt a bit uneasy, though she didn't know why.

Zhou Feng stood in place, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.

He felt his dignity trampled once again.

"Bitch! Deserves to be demoted, you think you're fit to be an emperor? Dream on!"

"For a piece of trash, you dare to hit me."

"Do you think you can achieve something through the Divine Island Competition and return to the capital? I'll make sure that doesn't happen!"

"Don't let me meet Jiang Anping in the competition! Otherwise, I'll make sure he has no place to rest in peace!"

Zhou Feng didn't follow Xia Qing and the others but left with resentment.

He had never experienced so much humiliation in his life; he had to take revenge.

If this place won't keep me, there are other places that will.

With his talent, he would definitely be valued by other county governors, not humiliated.

He wanted to compete for other county governors and deliberately target Xia Qing in the competition to achieve his revenge.

"Sister, Zhou Feng flew away."

Jiang Anping turned back and saw that Zhou Feng hadn't followed.

"Never mind, as long as my brother is happy. Now he has a spot in the competition, doesn't he?"

Xia Qing said with a smile.

Jiang Anping's eyes showed a hint of gratitude.

He hadn't bet wrong; the other party indeed protected him. The Black Flame Firestone and Fire Lotus Enlightenment Seed were not given in vain.

Actually, Xia Qing had indeed cared about Zhou Feng, the genius, before.

But Yun Huang, having obtained the Black Flame Firestone and comprehended a special power, would definitely enter the top three.

With Fang Xing, Jin Lin, and Meng Jing, they could secure at least one or two spots.

Zhou Feng's role was no longer significant.

Driving away one Zhou Feng and gaining a truly devoted genius brother, plus the good impression of others, was already enough.

There is no such thing as having everything; one must give to gain.

Jiang Anping hadn't expected such a result, the spot had come back to him.

"Who is there ahead!"

A hoarse voice came from the floating buildings.

"Heifeng County Governor, Xia Qing!"

As Xia Qing's voice fell, a seven-colored rainbow bridge appeared before them, and an old man with white hair appeared, bowing.

"Welcome, Ninth Princess."

"Um."

Xia Qing nodded casually.

Everyone stepped on the seven-colored rainbow bridge and followed the old man to a spacious square.

The square was very large, with many young people cultivating and some sparring.

Seeing Xia Qing and her group, their faces turned serious.

"The people from Heifeng County have arrived."

"I heard the Ninth Princess has gathered many geniuses for this competition, including Divine Phoenix Body, Ten Thousand Gold Body, Soul Master, and even people from Piaomiao Sect and the Ancient Family."

"Damn! With so many geniuses, who can beat them?"

"The county governor said that their overall combat strength can definitely rank in the top three."

Xia Qing's group caused a stir, and many geniuses looked unhappy.

However, some were full of fighting spirit, eager to spar.

A youth with fiery red hair appeared before Xia Qing and the others.

"I am the first genius of Yan Yang County, Wan Chen, born with a Fire Yang Body. Who among you has the Divine Phoenix Body? I can't wait to see whose flames are stronger."

The youth had already locked onto Yun Huang, sensing the fire attribute aura from the other.

Many geniuses on the square recognized Wan Chen. Since he arrived, he had liked to challenge geniuses from various counties, defeating many fire-type geniuses, and was very powerful.

It was unknown whether the Divine Phoenix Body or the Fire Yang Body was more formidable.

Yun Huang's red pupils dilated slightly, and a divine phoenix shadow suddenly appeared behind him, scorching the earth and causing a heavenly phenomenon.

The divine phoenix flapped its wings, stirring up a flame wind, and struck towards Wan Chen.

Wan Chen, sensing this aura, his face changed drastically, and he quickly released a fire dragon to block.

"Boom!"

The fire dragon exploded, and Wan Chen was sent flying.

Yun Huang retracted the phenomenon and said coolly, "The competition is in a few days; there's no need to be so eager."

The group continued forward.

Wan Chen crashed into a pillar, spitting out blood, his face full of shock and fear.

The other geniuses were extremely shocked.

Although they only clashed once, it was clear that they were not on the same level!

It was too terrifying.

How could they fight against Heifeng County?

"Hope I don't meet this woman and those divine bodies. The remaining geniuses of Heifeng County are just average and easy to deal with."

"Yeah, except for those few prodigies, the others are about the same as us."

"Hope I meet a weak one. I saw a wooden-looking guy just now, who seemed easy to handle."

Many geniuses began to pray not to meet Yun Huang, as such a terrifying genius was beyond their ability to handle.

Meng Jing skipped up to Jiang Anping and whispered, "Wood, your expression is so wooden. Act a bit more arrogant, or everyone will think you're easy to bully."

"I'm not strong anyway," Jiang Anping said indifferently.

Meng Jing gave him a look as if he was lying.

Others might not know Jiang Anping's strength, but she was very clear.

She often went to Jiang Anping's room, and once, while he was cultivating, a strange blood aura was released from his body, making her almost stop breathing, completely unable to resist.
