Chapter 039: She Liked Herself

Yue Hongling’s figure shifted.

But then she paused, knowing full well that Feng Wuxie wouldn’t just rely on a few tricks.

Sure enough, a sudden change occurred.

As the divine being Cao Hong was about to grab Feng Wuxie by the neck, Feng Wuxie was engulfed in flames.

The flames were formless, and Cao Hong’s massive hand grasped nothing but air.

The fire embraced him, a whirlwind rising, fueling the flames—a golden-red inferno twisted into a fiery tornado, scorching Cao Hong crazily.

“Get lost!”

Cao Hong roared.

“Boom!”

White light exploded as the fire whirlwind detonated, scattering everywhere.

The flames suddenly condensed back into a firebird.

Cao Hong’s body was charred, his face twisted in pain, rage filling his eyes as he pointed at Feng Wuxie and yelled.

“Divine Binding!”

In an instant, white chains appeared around Feng Wuxie’s body, dozens of them, locking him down without a chance to escape, each chain brimming with suppressive power.

Feng Wuxie let out a mournful cry, struggling desperately to break free.

But the white chains broke and reconnected, again and again. No matter how hard he fought, he couldn’t break free.

Cao Hong walked over and punched Feng Wuxie in the face.

Bang!

Cao Hong swung left and right.

To subdue a highly intelligent mount, the first thing to do is instill fear in it. Only by planting the seed of fear can one then conduct numerous tests of obedience to shape the mount.

Yue Hongling watched this scene, shaking her head lightly.

Clearly, Feng Wuxie had greater killing moves during the fight, yet he didn’t use them.

Such a waste…

It didn’t matter; as long as she was strong, even if Feng Wuxie was useless, it was fine.

In her past life, wasn’t it the senior brother who was strong while she was weak?

She was quite happy.

Her figure plummeted from the sky, charging toward Cao Hong.

Cao Hong suddenly looked up and saw Yue Hongling, a thought rising in his mind.

A beauty, unknown to him, clearly up to no good—she could be killed!

A sacred glow appeared in his hand, twisting and gathering as he launched a palm attack at Yue Hongling.

“Fearless Seal!”

The Fearless Seal wasn’t just a single move; it was a set of seals, containing 81 unique hand signs, each with its distinct effect.

As Yue Hongling grew stronger, the array of seals available to her expanded, and her explosive power increased.

Boom!

A huge roar echoed.

The white light sphere was forcibly shattered by the seal, crashing down on Cao Hong’s face with unstoppable force.

Bang!

Cao Hong’s broad face splattered, his body sliding dozens of meters along the ground, shattering a rock beneath him.

“What a hard head,”

Yue Hongling marveled, lifting the giant seal and charging forward again.

“Why are you, a Human Clan member, trying to save a Demon Clan member?” Cao Hong bellowed, raising a large shield to withstand Yue Hongling’s relentless strikes.

Feng Wuxie gazed at Yue Hongling’s back, his eyes reddening.

She came to save him.

Just as he thought, she liked him!

She must like him; otherwise, why would a strong Demonic Clan individual like her keep following him?

“Because I like you!” Yue Hongling retorted, sending Cao Hong flying again.

As Cao Hong coughed up blood, fear flickered in his eyes.

She was too strong; this woman was too strong.

What should have been a simple seal felt like a mountain crashing down.

“You want to refine him as a mount, right? I’ll let you have him; we have no grudges, just let me go,”

Feng Wuxie’s smile faltered slightly at the mention of mount…

She wanted to treat him as a mount?

Yue Hongling chuckled lightly, neither refuting nor elaborating.

She swung the seal down again.

“What the hell, are you crazy!”

Cao Hong shouted, utterly confused by this woman’s issues.

Blood gushed from his mouth; his insides felt shattered.

Three more seals, and his body would explode completely.

Once Cao Hong was dealt with, Yue Hongling looked at Feng Wuxie.

“You okay?”

Feng Wuxie thought about the word “mount” again; did she really want to take him as one?

“I’m…fine.”

“If you’re fine, I’ll take my leave. Bye.”

Yue Hongling prepared to depart.

“Wait a second.”

Feng Wuxie called out to her.

“Hmm?”

He took a deep breath, sensing that something felt off.

The power Yue Hongling was displaying now was at odds with the prowess she exhibited while they were fleeing together.

In other words, she had been deliberately pursued back then; it was intentional for her to encounter him.

“Why did you save me? What’s your true motive?” Feng Wuxie asked loudly.

He couldn’t deny he liked Yue Hongling now; only when he liked someone would he think she liked him back.

Yue Hongling paused at this question.

She stared hard into Feng Wuxie’s eyes, seeing his yearning.

He was hoping she would say she liked him.

Yue Hongling’s brows furrowed lightly, she truly liked Feng Wuxie, but it didn’t feel like the right time to define their relationship.

That fluttering feeling she once had wasn’t present.

If it had, she would’ve followed Feng Wuxie anywhere.

But right now…

“Because I think you’re kind of fun.”

With that, Yue Hongling took off into the sky.

Kind of fun?

Feng Wuxie was left dumbfounded—what kind of answer was that?

But this “fun”…

Feng Wuxie slowly processed it, his eyes widening. Fun was just the sign of affection, right?

This stunning woman truly had feelings for him!

His heart raced, and his handsome face began to blush furiously.

He clutched his chest.

An emotion was brewing deep within him.

“Oh, here’s a little something for you; contact me if you need anything.”

Yue Hongling returned, tossing a shell-like treasure to Feng Wuxie.

“Talk into the shell, and I’ll hear you from another one.”

After throwing him the item, she began to leave again.

“Hold on!”

Feng Wuxie called out to her once more.

Yue Hongling???

“Um, can I follow you?” Feng Wuxie asked.

This Genius Ancient Battlefield was far too dangerous; with Yue Hongling’s strength, it’d be great to stick with her. Even if he used her spare treasures, it’d be enough for his cultivation.

Yue Hongling frowned.

“No! The Genius Ancient Battlefield is for honing oneself, not for you to slack off. Bye!”

Yue Hongling decisively left.

Feng Wuxie…

Slack off, what a slacker.

Feng Wuxie gritted his teeth; he had to cultivate hard so that when Yue Hongling saw him again, her eyes would widen in shock!
