Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034

"That's enough, Linger. Stop being so unreasonable!"

Bai Su shot Bai Linger with a cold glare. She knew her daughter's temperament, always full of mischief and cunning. She had probably taken an interest in Ling Feng and wanted to mess with him a little.

"I've already said it. This matter ends here. You're coming back with me!"

She grabbed Bai Linger's arm and turned to walk toward their residence.

What she didn't notice was that Bai Linger turned her head, made a face at Ling Feng, and silently mouthed, "Just you wait, brat. I'll be back for you!"

Watching the pair walk away, Ling Feng rubbed the bridge of his nose and gave a helpless smile. He turned to Mu Qianxue and asked casually, "Little Xue, what's your senior sister's name?"

Mu Qianxue bit her lip and forced a smile. "Big Brother Long, are you interested in Senior Sister Linger?"

Ling Feng's face darkened. What kind of nonsense is that?

He gave a bitter laugh. "That little witch, her eyes are always shifting around. I have no idea what she's scheming, but she's clearly planning something against me."

Only then did Mu Qianxue smile genuinely. "Heehee, I knew it. Big Brother Long isn't that kind of person."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. After reminding her to stay alert and be careful, he returned to his own room.

His mind kept drifting to the Five Emperors Seal and that mysterious woman Yue Huaqing. Feeling weary, he lay down and soon fell asleep.

By the time he woke again, it was already the second half of the night.

Ling Feng let out a quiet sound of surprise. He sensed someone slowly approaching his door. At first, he thought it might be Tiger Might Demon King's men. But once he activated Boundless Vision, he saw that it was Bai Linger.

"Hey, brat. Open the door!"

Three solid knocks echoed from outside.

Ling Feng opened the door casually and leaned against the frame. Standing there in a fiery red outfit was Bai Linger, a sly smile tugging at her lips.

His mind blanked for a second.

The silver moonlight fell on her flawless face, giving her the appearance of a fairy from beyond the mortal world.

"What is this? In the middle of the night, just the two of us. Is this some kind of seduction?"

Ling Feng cleared his throat. The faint fragrance from Bai Linger's body drifted toward him, sweet and intoxicating. The atmosphere was far too suggestive.

"What? Not even going to invite me in for a seat?"

Bai Linger looked at Ling Feng with a playful glint, feigning shyness.

"This humble place is probably not fit to host the daughter of the hall master."

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. The whole scene gave him flashbacks of that matriarchal tribe in the Lin Demon Clan.

Are all demon girls this bold?

"Heehee, I was teasing you. Look how nervous you got. You're sweating already."

The flirtatious air vanished from Bai Linger's face as she burst into laughter.

"But seriously, your reaction is so dull. You see me and don't even pull me into your room. What's wrong with you? You really don't act like a proper adult male demon!"

Ling Feng's face went blank. He replied in a low voice, "If the young lady has nothing else to say, please leave."

"I do have something to say!"

Bai Linger shoved past him and walked straight into the room. She plopped down on his bed and looked around before speaking calmly.

"I noticed you during the entry trial. You defeated six high-tier demon lords with a single look. Heehee, you're definitely a spiritual refinement cultivator!"

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. "So what if I am? Is that against the rules?"

"It's not a violation."

Bai Linger chuckled. "But here's the thing. I'm a spiritual refinement cultivator too. I'm really curious about the technique you used to enhance your spiritual consciousness."

Ling Feng's eyes lit up. He stared at her with interest. Based on her aura, her strength was about the same as Xiao Feng's. He hadn't expected her to also specialize in spiritual refinement.

"So you're after my technique."

Ling Feng smiled faintly. "But why would I share it with you?"

Bai Linger bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

"Because I'm the daughter of the Purple Dragon Envoy. Isn't that enough?"

Ling Feng shook his head. "The Purple Dragon Envoy isn't my mother-in-law. Why would I owe her anything?"

Bai Linger glared at him, her cheeks tinged with pink. "Keep dreaming!"

"I wasn't dreaming." Ling Feng walked to the door and gestured politely.

"If there's nothing else, please leave."

Bai Linger gritted her teeth.

"I don't give up that easily. Your spirit condensing martial art is far more powerful than mine. Even if I spent another three hundred years cultivating with my current method, I still wouldn't reach the threshold of the Spiritual Consciousness Domain!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Ling Feng acted as if none of this concerned him. Bai Linger seethed, her teeth clenched. She wanted nothing more than to throttle this clueless idiot.

"Can't you have even a little sympathy for a beauty in need?"

"No." Ling Feng shook his head, firm and unwavering.

Bai Linger's brows furrowed. She suddenly lashed out with a kick aimed directly at his lower half.

"You stinking brat. I tried being nice, and you act like a stone in a latrine, filthy and stubborn!"

Ling Feng's eyelids twitched as he barely dodged the "Cutting Off Future Generations Kick."

"With that attitude, I wouldn't teach you my spirit condensing martial art even in my next life."

Bai Linger stomped her foot repeatedly in frustration. After a long moment, she bit her lip and said, "Long Fei, let's make a bet."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and motioned with his chin.

"What kind of bet are you proposing, young lady?"

"I'll challenge you to a duel. If you lose, you have to teach me the technique!"

Bai Linger gritted her teeth.

"If you win, I'll give you... one million high-grade blood crystals!"

She had learned that Ling Feng had earned three consecutive victories during the entry trials and walked away with three hundred thousand high-grade blood crystals. To make the bet appealing enough, she was willing to spend a fortune.

"One million blood crystals? I'm not interested."

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. One million or ten million made no difference. Nothing could compare to his Soul Splitting Art.

That technique had originated from the true self of the Tianbai Emperor. No amount of blood crystals could possibly match its worth.

Bai Linger's expression darkened.

"You're still not satisfied with a million? Just how much do you want?"

"I don't want blood crystals."

Ling Feng's gaze settled on her. Since she was the daughter of the Purple Dragon Envoy, her status was unique.

He studied her for a while, then raised an eyebrow and said slowly, word by word, "If you lose, you have to agree to one thing. No matter what I ask, you must comply. No arguments, no conditions."

Bai Linger's face flushed bright red. Clearly, she thought he had something inappropriate in mind. She hesitated for only a second before nodding.

"Fine. I agree. But I'm telling you right now, I will never lose!"
