Chapter 1137: Chapter 1142: Two Pieces of Jade

Hearing Su Zi’s earnest reminder, Lin Feng could only nod helplessly.

After returning to his room, Lin Feng didn’t take a shower. Instead, he took out the Return-to-Origin Finger manual he’d gotten back in the Imperial City, along with that phoenix jade stone, and carefully looked them over...

Back at the Wang Family in the Imperial City, when he’d crossed hands with Fu Zheng, the subordinate of China’s former chancellor Wang Xiaoyong, the phoenix jade stone had already helped him out of a tight spot once. As for the function of the phoenix jade stone, Lin Feng basically knew that when foreign Inner Strength invaded his body too violently, it could emit an extremely cold aura to freeze the Inner Strength that entered his body, preventing him from being harmed. It was essentially a life-saving protective talisman!

"This phoenix jade stone is a good thing... Lord Chen didn’t lie to me... It’s just a pity that before I left the Imperial City, I never got another chance to see Old Su, so I couldn’t pass on his request to see Chen Boshu and Chen Qingqing. I can only wait and see if Su Zi can help convey the message in the future..." Wearing gloves, Lin Feng toyed with that piece of phoenix jade stone. After a while, he took out the dragon-shaped jade he’d gotten, put it beside the phoenix jade stone for comparison, and discovered that the carving on both pieces seemed somewhat similar in style...

"Could it be that these two pieces of jade came from the same carver’s hand, and are even a pair?" Lin Feng thought with a slightly odd expression. After comparing the functions of the two jade stones, he became even more convinced of this guess.

The phoenix jade stone could freeze foreign Inner Strength that invaded the body, while the dragon-shaped jade could draw out the poisonous qi inside the body. And these two jade stones were both extremely old!

Lord Chen had already said that professional testing showed the phoenix jade stone to be several thousand years old, whereas the dragon-shaped jade had been unearthed directly from an ancient tomb, stolen out of a grave by tomb raiders, and by sheer coincidence had eventually ended up in Lin Feng’s hands.

Several thousand years ago—back when they probably didn’t even have proper nations yet—there were already such miraculous jade stones around? Lin Feng shook his head in disbelief, but then suddenly thought of a possibility...

"Unless... these two jade stones were both crafted by cultivators!"

Thinking of that white-bearded old man who had appeared repeatedly, coming and going like a phantom, Lin Feng became more and more certain of this possibility.

Only mysterious cultivators could possibly create such magical jade stones!

Cultivators, cultivators—what on earth is their origin? Did they already live on Earth several thousand years ago? And what kind of relationship did they have with ordinary people?

Staring at the two jade stones in his hands, Lin Feng couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.

After a while, having come up with no clue, Lin Feng could only temporarily put the jade away, then turned and took out that "Innate One Qi Return-to-Origin Finger" manual.

"Aside from the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Mystery Deduction Technique, it’s yet another manual that can only be cultivated after reaching Innate cultivation. Does that mean only those with Innate cultivation are qualified to truly come into contact with the cultivator crowd?"

Lin Feng gave a wry laugh. Although he was somewhat curious, he really didn’t have much interest in such vague, illusory groups.

"That said, the Sky Slaughter Organization’s follow-up retaliation might come one after another. I’m afraid I have to step into the Innate stage as soon as possible!" Lin Feng glanced at the three manuals, a flash of excitement in his eyes. In China, Lin Feng had too many ties; he needed stronger power to protect his women, his family, his brothers!

Just as Lin Feng was in high spirits and about to sit down and start circulating his qi, a sudden knock sounded at the door.

Lin Feng opened the door with a speechless look, only to see Ning Aoxue staring at him with a face full of grievance. Her pretty face seemed covered in frost; she hadn’t even stepped inside yet, and a gust of cold wind was already blowing in his face.

Ning Aoxue had already taken off her coat, and the mature charm she revealed was enough to make women jealous and men excited.

Lin Feng, whose blood had just been boiling with the urge to cultivate, suddenly saw Ning Aoxue. Before he could react, he blurted, "Aoxue, what brings you here?"

"Hmph..." Ning Aoxue snorted coldly, not answering Lin Feng’s question. Instead she directly pushed him aside and walked into his room, asking, "Did you shower like I told you to?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this Miss Ning had actually come to adjust his tailbone?

Sure enough, Ning Aoxue was still holding a few ziplock bags in her hand... This girl had even prepared substitutes for medical gloves!

Lin Feng, having understood Ning Aoxue’s intention, dazed out for a few seconds before starting to feel a bit nervous... Damn, what now? Ning Aoxue had clearly done her mental prep work before coming over, and had probably overcome who knows how many inner demons. She’d likely have absolutely no hesitation when it came time to make a move... But he couldn’t actually let her go through with it, could he?!

For a moment, Lin Feng even considered just telling Ning Aoxue directly that he actually wasn’t injured anymore.

"What are you dawdling for? Don’t tell me you’re scared?" Ning Aoxue sneered, lifting her eyes to glance at Lin Feng, who seemed to be shrinking back. She spoke calmly, while her hands began pulling those ziplock bags over her hands... layering on three of them in a row...

"Uh, no... hehe, how could I be scared?" Lin Feng replied to Ning Aoxue with a bitter smile. "I... I just haven’t showered yet. I’m afraid I’ll scare you..."

"Go. I’ll wait for you." Ning Aoxue now looked like some ancient, still-as-a-well elder, her eyes devoid of joy or sorrow as she gazed at Lin Feng with a calm face.

Lin Feng gave a wry smile. With no strategy coming to mind for the moment, he could only pick up a change of clothes and actually walk out, heading to the bathroom to shower...

It was still a beauty waiting in his room. It was still him taking a shower. So why did he feel so uncomfortable all over today? After stepping into the bathroom, this was the vexing question Lin Feng was pondering. He soon figured it out.

Probably any normal man, upon knowing there was a chance someone might touch his chrysanthemum area, would not feel very at ease!

Damn it, I’ve decided. In a bit I’m just going to come clean with Ning Aoxue. I’d rather get beaten up by her than cooperate with her on this... It’s just too terrifying...

So, after Lin Feng quickly rinsed off, he wrapped himself in a bathrobe and went straight back to the room. Just as he was about to speak to Ning Aoxue, who was sitting on the bed, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, because he sensed the presence of a fourth person in the villa!

An intruder in the villa?! Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, and a hint of killing intent surged up in his heart.

Ning Aoxue, unaware of the situation, heard Lin Feng come in and subconsciously turned around. When she saw his bare chest and those neatly arranged abs, an awkward look flashed across her face.
