"What’s so difficult about this? We are all sensible people, and just thinking about the benefits I would bring as the Human King should be enough to understand. But you are a bit disappointing; it took you so long to kill the Poison King and his son." Zhang Lijuan laughed.
Chu Linfeng glanced at the Royal City experts behind her and found that only one old man was dead, while the elder whose son she killed was safe and sound. He really couldn’t understand how she did it. Could killing just one person make everyone submit? That seems impossible.
However, Chu Linfeng knew this wasn’t the time to ask these questions. Since Zhang Lijuan had already handled these people, it was time to return and become the Human King. Then he would summon the Lord of Netherworld and the Netherworld Lord, and after things were concluded, it’d be time for him to enter the Death Tower Land.
"Alright, since no one has any objections to Lijuan becoming the Human King, let’s head back. There are some matters that still need addressing." Chu Linfeng said.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Tong’s true form appeared in his hand, and he placed it into his Storage Ring. Instantly, the scene returned to the City Lord’s Mansion in the Royal City, with everyone standing in the ruined great hall.
The crowd was too lazy to even think about this miraculous phenomenon. That Chu Linfeng was already a freak, and nothing he did could be explained by common sense. Being able to teleport everyone into the Illusion Realm was considered quite normal.
At this time, Zhang Lijuan said, "Everyone, go back to your own affairs. Once the City Lord’s Mansion is rebuilt, that will be the time I officially become the Human King. Lin Feng and I have some matters to attend to in Lisha City. I hope you won’t disappoint me."
"Rest assured, Human King, I will quickly complete the tasks you have assigned. However, how should we deal with Cheng Xinmei? Please advise, Human King." the old man said.
"Let her stay in the City Lord’s Mansion. Give her a separate courtyard and provide servants. If she doesn’t appreciate the kindness, then place her under house arrest. Do your work well, and I will fulfill my promises to you." Zhang Lijuan said.
Then everyone left one after another. Chu Linfeng looked at Zhang Lijuan and asked, "What did you say to that old fellow? Didn’t you kill his son? Why is he so respectful to you? Be careful not to be deceived. Remember, the human heart is dangerous."
"Is that so? Aren’t you the upright gentleman? You took advantage of me when I was in danger and acted inappropriately. I haven’t even settled that score with you. What do you think I should do?" Zhang Lijuan didn’t directly answer Chu Linfeng’s question but instead brought up the embarrassing incident during detoxification.
"What do you want to do? Anyway, there’s no one around here now. Why don’t you come and touch me back? My body isn’t something just any woman can touch." Chu Linfeng laughed.
"Go to hell!" Zhang Lijuan instantly got angry and struck at Chu Linfeng with great force, creating a large pit in the ground.
"Hey, aren’t you going too far? This is attempted spousal murder!" Chu Linfeng laughed. Before Zhang Lijuan could get angry again, he instantly teleported to Lisha City to escape.
"Chu Linfeng, stop right there! I’m going to beat you half to death!" Zhang Lijuan’s angry roar echoed from behind. Her face showed a bitter smile, "I already have enough women, how could I possibly take in another one like you."
"Haha, I was just waiting for you to say that, Lin Feng. You said it yourself. I hope you won’t regret it!" Sword Spirit suddenly spoke up.
"What do you mean? I feel like I’m being tricked. Could you please explain, Sister Yue’Er?" Chu Linfeng asked in surprise.
"Zhang Lijuan is actually an extraordinarily beautiful woman. She used Disguise Art, which she likely learned from the Death Tower Land called Immortal Beauty. This is a Disguise Art that can change facial appearance directly. Many people in the Immortal Realm can do it, but Immortal Beauty can only make someone uglier, not more beautiful. I can do it too. free𝑤ebnovel.com
When I first saw this woman, I noticed. The ability to use Sword Flight, No Trace of the Sword, and Immortal Beauty are things only found in the Immortal Realm. It seems she has inherited from someone in the Immortal Realm. This raises the point that the Death Tower Land may be so mysterious because there could be Immortals there, or perhaps their souls. Going there is indeed filled with danger and crises." Sword Spirit said seriously.
After hearing this, Chu Linfeng made up his mind. He just needed to ask Zhang Lijuan. This delay allowed Zhang Lijuan to catch up immediately. "Why didn’t you run? Are you ready to apologize to me? If it weren’t for you helping me become the Human King, I would have killed you with one sword."
"Lijuan, can I see your true appearance? I know you are a stunning beauty, so why disguise yourself like this? Now that you’re the Human King, who would dare bully you? I think you won’t refuse, right? Don’t forget you lost our bet." Chu Linfeng began to show his shameless side.
"This is what I look like. There’s no real face. Don’t change the subject, and tell me what you’ll do. Now that I’ve just become the Human King, I don’t have many Nether Stones. You got Xiang Shaolong’s Storage Ring. I’m sure there’s a lot in there." Zhang Lijuan said.
"Nether Stone, oh that’s easy, when you become the Human King, I’ll give you thirty million. I believe that’s enough for you to squander. The Disguise Art of the Immortal Beauty is said to be unparalleled in the Netherworld. It’s remarkable that you managed to learn it. If you want the Nether Stone, you’ll have to let me see your true appearance." Chu Linfeng said with a smile.
"Immortal Beauty, you actually know about the Immortal Beauty!" Zhang Lijuan looked at Chu Linfeng with shock all over her face. She couldn’t understand how this young man knew the secret of the Immortal Beauty. She remembered the elder who taught her this art said she was the only one under the heavens who could perform it. No one else could discern it.
Back when she was learning this Disguise Art, that elder made her swear never to reveal her true face to anyone, especially not to a man, unless he was her beloved. Otherwise, anyone who saw her true face must be killed.
Zhang Lijuan’s heart was in turmoil. It seemed that Chu Linfeng had even more secrets than she did, almost as if he had inherited something from another world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know these things. She was also intensely curious about where he got his inheritance from.
"The Immortal Beauty is not of this world, and the Mind Reading Art is the same. I know you learned these from the Death Tower Land. Since you have your own difficulties, I won’t force you. Just let me know when you’re ready to show me yourself." Chu Linfeng said gently.
Upon finishing his words, a sharp pain suddenly stabbed through his mind. Chu Linfeng immediately suppressed it, turned his face to the side, and said, "Let’s head back to Lisha City first!"
After performing another Instant Teleportation, Chu Linfeng finally couldn’t hold back and said, "Sister Yue’Er, I promise you, no matter how beautiful Zhang Lijuan is, I won’t let her become my woman. Please stop tormenting me, my head feels like it’s about to explode."
"Now you know how fearsome I am, right? You’d better remember your words. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about her, you know the consequences." Sword Spirit said.
"I won’t. Even if I wanted to make her my woman in this Netherworld, I couldn’t take her away. With both Feifei and Yiyi already suffering, why bring in another? I don’t want to harm another woman." Chu Linfeng said.
Gradually, the pain in his mind receded. Chu Linfeng didn’t know how the Sword Spirit did it. This pain was excruciating, even more so than breaking through the Seventh Layer of Star Body. Chu Linfeng secretly decided that once the Sword Spirit regained her physical form, he would make sure she couldn’t get out of bed for three days and nights to show how terrifying he could be.
Not long after, the two returned to Lisha City. Xiao Qiang and others immediately came up to greet them, "Qingshuang, how did it go?"
"Very smoothly. Now, Lijuan has successfully conquered the strong ones in the Royal City. Once the City Lord’s Mansion is built, she can become the Human King. Then, with the Human Race unified, I can be at ease." Chu Linfeng said.
"Lin Feng, what’s your plan next? We’re quite bored here; why don’t you take us out for a tour?" Princess Yiyi said at this point.
"I plan to find Ouyang Hong and will set out tomorrow. Today, we’ll have a good gathering. It wouldn’t make sense not to get drunk on such a happy occasion." Chu Linfeng looked at the three women and smiled.
There was something peculiar about his gaze. The three women saw Chu Linfeng’s eyes and naturally understood his intention, their faces blushing slightly. This guy was truly shameless.
Afterward, Chu Linfeng had the servants of the mansion prepare a few tables of food and drinks, inviting some guards and Honored Guest Elders of the City Lord’s Mansion to join the meal. At the same time, Zhang Lijuan briefly informed everyone about the new City Lord of Lisha City.
This time, all three women were wise enough not to drink much, fearing he might once again play tricks. After three rounds of drinks, Chu Linfeng turned to Feiyu and said, "Once we find Ouyang Hong and return from the Death Tower Land, we’ll go back to Canglan Ancient Land. I believe your clansmen, especially your mother, must be very worried about you. Also, upon returning, we’ll annihilate the Profound Whale Race so that the Black Tortoise Race can become the overlord on Profound Ice Island."
"Lin Feng, it’s the greatest pride of my life, Feiyu, to know you and be your friend. Whether in strength or talent, I am not even close. I sincerely hope you can become the greatest, unparalleled by any before or after." Feiyu said with emotion.
"Feiyu, you’re exaggerating. As friends, there’s no need to say such things. Don’t forget, you also have the bloodline power of the Holy Beast. One day, you can achieve great things too. Don’t underestimate this bloodline power." Chu Linfeng said.
Each person left separately. After returning to his room, Chu Linfeng felt a sense of emptiness. As someone with women, how could he sleep alone? At the very least, he needed to have a woman by his side.
However, with three women now, choosing any one of them would displease the other two. Yet, not choosing at all was somewhat uncomfortable. Chu Linfeng decided to trick all three women into his room. Even if they couldn’t do anything, just looking at them or chatting would be nice. So he left his room and walked toward Lin Ruoxi’s room...
