Chapter 100

To be honest, he could sense that as he kept punching, the self-will of the Yanhuang Stone seemed to communicate with him.

It was a kind of damned 'appreciation' feeling.

So, it bestowed upon Li Tianming a transformation.

Now, it must be tired. After all, such an operation should be a form of consumption for it.

The next time, if it is willing to grant him such a transformation again, Li Tianming believes he can sense its call.

Now, to him, this Yanhuang Stone feels like an intimate person.

This feeling is truly wonderful.

Who in Tianfu can have the Yanhuang Stone covering them?

Li Tianming has achieved it.

He never thought he could break through to the fourth level of the Spirit Source Realm so quickly.

When Li Tianming got up after recovering in the Yanhuang Stone, everyone's stunned gazes fell upon him.

Including Mu Yang and Chen Sheng.

Not even dead?

It was simply a miracle.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Li Tianming tidied up his disheveled clothes.

At the same time, Jiang Feilin, somewhat exhausted, transformed from a spirit body to a physical one and appeared beside Li Tianming.

As for the little yellow chick, it was still spewing fire.

"Come out." In the midst of everyone's stunned gazes, Mu Yang beckoned to him.

"Meeting Deputy Lord, Chen Sheng." Li Tianming came to them.

These two men were legends of Yan City, the super geniuses of the previous generation, both more handsome and stronger than Li Yanfeng, and at the peak of their power.

They also had a common point: in their youth, they both pursued Wei Jing and were rivals.

"Li Tianming, I've been hearing about your exploits lately, almost to the point of getting tired of it." Chen Sheng smiled, his eyes 'ambiguous.'

"Chen Sheng, don't worry about the debt, I'll definitely pay it back when the time comes..." Li Tianming hurriedly said.

"No rush, if you still want to borrow, I can lend you more. After all, just pay back ten times the amount." Chen Sheng said.

"Then forget it."

Mu Yang had already heard from Chen Sheng about their borrowing and lending.

"Li Tianming, what happened?" Mu Yang asked.

"I don't know, it's about the same as what you saw?" Li Tianming said.

"Are you injured? The Yanhuang Stone has never had such an incident before."

"No, and I've made progress." Li Tianming said.

"Even so, it was a close call, but next time, don't do this without my permission."

"The Yanhuang Stone is not something at your level that can comprehend. I'm afraid something might happen." Mu Yang said.

If something really happened, he couldn't explain it to Wei Jing.

"I don't see any problem, the Yanhuang Stone seems to recognize him." Chen Sheng said.

"Rubbish, if something happened to him, no one would blame you, so of course you think there's no problem." Mu Yang chuckled.

"Small-minded." Chen Sheng said disdainfully.

At least now everything was stable, and there were no other issues.

"Deputy Lord, I understand, I'll try my best not to let anything happen." Li Tianming said steadily.

"Alright, focus on cultivation when you should, and rest when you should. The same goes for all of you." Mu Yang glanced at the surrounding disciples.

To be honest, everyone was simply dumbfounded that Li Tianming could survive this time.

Xing Que and Chen Hao in the crowd were the same.

"You two, come here." Chen Sheng saw them.

The two of them had no choice but to step forward, giving Li Tianming a hostile look.

"Don't create any grudges, there's no real enmity, why fight? Shake hands." Chen Sheng said.

He definitely didn't want his son to have a conflict with Li Tianming.

Similarly, because of Xing Que, Chen Hao, and Chen Sheng's relationship, Li Tianming didn't want to have a feud with them.

"Apologize to me another day, and we'll be done." Li Tianming extended his hand, suspended.

After all, offending Wei Jing, an apology was essential.

"Father, he hit Chen Yao, I have to stand up for Chen Yao." Chen Hao gritted his teeth.

"I'll stand up for your mother."

Suddenly, Chen Sheng reached out and slapped him.

This slap sent Chen Hao flying, spinning three times in the air before crashing to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

It turned out that a father scolding his son could be so direct and brutal.

It was said that Chen Sheng had a good temper, but was this called having a good temper?

Seeing Chen Hao lying on the ground, his eyes red and almost in tears, people could only feel pity.

After all, they couldn't understand why Chen Hao was being punished for Li Tianming.

The reason was simple: Li Tianming was magnanimous, and with the elders mediating, he was willing to reconcile.

However, Chen Hao refused.

"Xing Que, do you think the same?" After hitting Chen Hao, Chen Sheng asked Xing Que.

"Uncle, I look down on this person." Xing Que gritted his teeth.

"Suit yourself. But I have a word of advice for you." Chen Sheng said.

"Uncle, please speak."

"Neither your father nor I expected our sons to have such a low mindset."

"Your current achievements and mental state are not even worthy of tying our shoes." Chen Sheng said calmly.

Xing Que lowered his head, clenching his fists.

"Alright, give the kids some face." Mu Yang said, letting Xing Que and Chen Hao leave first.

"Chen Hao." As they left, Chen Sheng called out.

"Father, what do you need?" Chen Hao said, head down.

"If you can win in the Abyss Battlefield, I'll apologize to you in public for this slap." Chen Sheng said.

"Father, I'll remember that."

Chen Hao gritted his teeth and left the Yanhuang Tower with Xing Que, under everyone's gaze.

Li Tianming couldn't help but think that the slap looked satisfying.

"Uncle Chen, you have done me a favor. For this, even if they don't apologize to me, I'll give them a chance in the future." Li Tianming said.

"No need. If they are in the wrong, just beat them up, leave them alive. How can one grow without experiencing setbacks?" Chen Sheng said with a smirk.

"Li Tianming, don't boast. You still have a long way to go compared to them. Go stand aside."

"Chen brother, let the kids handle their own affairs. This way, please?" Mu Yang said.

"Please."

They had other matters to attend to and needed to leave.

"Li Tianming, your mother misses you. Visit her when you have time." Mu Yang said as they left.

He had been taking care of Wei Jing all this time.

"Sure."

"If you bring Princess Ling, let her see her daughter-in-law, that would be even better." Mu Yang smiled.

This guy, looking so refined, was actually quite naughty.

"Not yet." Jiang Feilin blushed.

"Deputy Lord, no problem." Li Tianming quickly agreed.

He wanted to visit the Wei Manor and let his mother see Jiang Feilin.

"Wife, shall we go?"

"Go to hell, no nonsense, it's not good if Father hears it." Jiang Feilin said, annoyed.

"Understood."

After all, she was the adopted daughter of the Vermilion Bird King, a princess. Her marriage and future would be decided by the Vermilion Bird King.

Being a princess, acting rashly was not appropriate.

"Ling, I was out of line, sorry." Li Tianming said.

"Brother, don't be too serious. We just met, whether we have a connection, one day, heaven will tell us." Jiang Feilin said gently.

"You're right."

As time passed, whether they could spend their lives together, heaven would give the answer.

"But, I also want to visit Aunt Jing. Should I bring a gift?"

Jiang Feilin pinched her skirt, speaking with her head down, her face pink like honey.

"No need, you are the best gift she will ever receive in her life." Li Tianming said.

Such sweet talk made her feel all tingly.

"Then what about me?" The little yellow chick said, unwillingly.

"You? You might be tonight's dinner—Kung Pao Chicken." Li Tianming said mockingly.

"Heh, favoring women over friends, despicable." The little yellow chick said disdainfully.

They started bickering again.

Jiang Feilin smiled, feeling a deep sense of happiness in her heart.

She was thinking, could they really walk this beautiful path together, and one day, she would wear a wedding dress and wait for this man to appear?

But, the world changes so much, would their hearts still be the same after so many years?

She didn't dare to think, because time is the most terrifying killer, capable of destroying many people.

"Brother, let's go." She gently took Li Tianming's arm, making her choice.

She was never afraid of gossip, never cared about people's contempt, disdain, or disappointed gazes.

Because this arm was warm and strong.

When they shared a spirit, she saw Li Tianming's heart, so vibrant, so passionate, so transparent.

Once, this heart was full of scars, covered in cuts, but now she saw healing and growth. There was someone in his heart, repairing everything.

That person, was herself.

Thinking of this, she wanted to laugh and cry, tears streaming down her face despite her smile.

"Are you feeling so lucky to hold such a handsome man's hand that you're moved to tears?"

Li Tianming walked, his eyes looking ahead, a smile on his lips.

"Not really, I heard Wei Lingxuan is waiting for you to return, thinking you'll be beaten to a pulp, I feel sorry for you, so I'm crying."

Jiang Feilin gently wiped away her tears.

She lifted her head, seeing his profile.

The strong lines, the smile on his lips, it was like something from a dream.

"Feilin, don't worry." Li Tianming held her hand, his eyes full of confidence.

"Today is the first time I'm bringing you to meet my mother. I will maintain my dignity, not a hair out of place. Do you believe me?"

"I don't."

"Heh, you dare to look down on me like that, wait until I prove you wrong. Then you'll know what it feels like to have a burning face." Li Tianming laughed.

The sunlight shone on his face.

That glow, she felt she would never forget in her life.

"But, would you really hit my face?" She raised her chin slightly, smiling at him.

Li Tianming was taken aback.

In the sunlight, her face was truly beautiful.

He never imagined there could be such a masterpiece in the world, not just beautiful, but with those clear, soul-piercing eyes.

"I wouldn't."

At that moment, he couldn't control himself, and without hesitation, he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"Brother..."

Even a brief touch made her heart race.

What does it feel like to be electrocuted?

Probably just like this.

"Sorry."

"It's okay."

They smiled at each other, and Li Tianming finally understood.

Love is such a wonderful thing, that heart-pounding feeling, how many times in a lifetime can one experience it?

They looked at each other with affection, oblivious to the world around them.

The little yellow chick was annoyed.

"Just a cheek kiss, and you two are so excited. Wait until the real thing, when you're all over each other, you'll be even more ecstatic."

Such a beautiful moment was ruined by those words.

"Damn."

Li Tianming's fiery gaze almost burned it to death.
