Chapter 164: Chapter 152: Wang Xue Rui Travels a Thousand Miles in Search of Her "Husband", All Because of Chu Xiaofeng (Extra)

"Chu! Xiao! Feng!" Wang Xue Rui’s voice, filled with murderous intent, echoed in Chu Feng’s ears, "Didn’t I tell you before I left to stay in school and heal up properly?

"No sooner had your injuries healed than you ran out to fight and kill. I think you’re asking for death!

"Now you dare to raise your hand against me? You want to draw your sword? I’m standing right here, come on, chop me!

"I..."

Oh no, busted, caught red-handed.

I can’t let her go on, the longer she talks, the harder this fire will be to put out!

Chu Feng took a deep breath, ignored the sharp pain in his ear, turned around, and hugged Wang Xue Rui tightly, his arms wrapping around her slender waist.

He hugged her tightly as if to merge with her, unwilling to let go even a little, showing endless tenderness and yearning.

Gently resting his chin on her slim shoulder, his voice frail with a hint of vulnerability, he murmured, "Ms. Xue Rui, I’ve missed you so much!"

Wang Xue Rui’s body suddenly stiffened.

It took a moment before she continued in a fierce tone, "Don’t pull that with me, I’m immune to your tricks!"

Though her voice was harsh, her hand relaxed its grip on Chu Feng’s ear, patting his back gently.

For a moment, Chu Feng felt as if he was back in the old days, when he and Wang Erbao would seek out Wang Xue Rui whenever they were wronged.

Just hugging her like this, allowing her to pat his back and offer a few words of comfort would instantly revive him, turning him back into the fearless Demon Lord of Mayhem.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The life-and-death trial, passed!

The two held each other tight, and at that moment, even the grey ashes drifting in the air seemed to turn into gently falling snowflakes.

...

After a while, Wang Xue Rui once again grabbed Chu Feng’s ear and pulled him away, her tone still unkind:

"What did I say when I left? Repeat it for me."

Chu Feng caught her hand in his and said with a light laugh, "If I stay at school and toil away, can I overtake Xuan Ziyuan?

"Can I prevent others from snatching away my top scholar honor?"

Wang Xue Rui fell silent for a moment before shaking her head gently.

Xuan Ziyuan was an even more formidable talent than her, able to suppress her in both cultivation speed and combat strength.

Deep down, she didn’t truly believe that Chu Feng could defeat Xuan Ziyuan, but she couldn’t say that outright, worried it might hurt Chu Feng’s pride.

And the policy of contesting for the top scholar honor was set by the larger region, outsiders couldn’t interfere.

Chu Feng removed her hand from his ear and enveloped it with his own, taking the lead as he questioned:

"If I don’t strive and compete, staying put in school like a good student, how can I drive away those who covet you, the flirtatious bees and butterflies?

"How can I confidently say to you ’I will protect you?’

"Is it with the measly 200 Points distributed each month?

"Or is it by brazenly asking you, asking uncle, or even asking Lu Lin and Principal Nie for cultivation resources?

"As a martial artist, if I have the ability, why shouldn’t I earn a future with my own two hands?"

Wang Xue Rui was at a loss for words.

Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders with a laugh, "We are no longer children. We understand how we ought to walk our paths from now on.

"We both have our own goals. Constant compromise would ultimately only lead to parting ways. Only those who can walk together are truly of the same path."

Wang Xue Rui muttered grumpily, "You’re just a little brat, what goals could you possibly have."

"Of course, I have them. My ultimate goal is to eliminate the demons and restore our lands!" Chu Feng said with a smile, "My long-term goal, well, is to get stronger quickly and then to keep you away from the battlefield, at home obediently supporting your husband and teaching your children."

"My current short-term goal is to surpass you, so you’d willingly be my beloved."

Wang Xue Rui laughed angrily, "Disgusting much? Your beloved my foot!

"You’re a hundred years too early to beat me!"

"I don’t think so. I’ve already reached the Foundation Building Peak, and once I return, I’ll be Innate, not so far behind you," Chu Feng said with a proud shrug.

Wang Xuerui was startled upon hearing this and, after carefully sensing it, she grabbed him urgently and asked, "Did you take some kind of forbidden medicine? How did you reach the Foundation Building Peak so quickly?"

"You can’t just take medicine recklessly, some of them are like ferocious drugs that seem to make you advance by leaps and bounds, but in reality, it’s all about overusing your body’s potential!"

"No need to worry, I haven’t taken any medicine. It’s just that I have exceptional talent and my cultivation speed is unusually fast," assured Chu Feng.

At the same time, he was slightly cautious in his mind, realizing he couldn’t max out his Qi Attribute Points in one go anymore—it was too conspicuous.

During the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was still somewhat explainable, but as his realm increased, it would be easy for others to see the inconsistencies.

He had to create the illusion of steady progress.

...

Talent? What kind of talent could support such a fast cultivation speed? Wang Xuerui wondered to herself.

But then, Chu Feng gave her a sidelong glance, which made her blood boil so much that she forgot her puzzle over his talent:

"Ms. Xuerui, don’t go crying secretly in your blanket when you lose the fight!"

Wang Xuerui couldn’t help but snort with laughter, provoked by his words, "Are you trying to rebel against the heavens?

"I’m going to teach you a lesson today that the strong are not to be insulted lightly!"

The two of them got into a playful scuffle, and the anger in Wang Xuerui’s heart dissipated.

She sighed softly to herself, accepting that people have to grow up; Chu Feng had his own ideas now and was no longer the stubborn boy who used to look up to her for everything.

Just then, an awkward voice came from behind them: "Um, student Wang Xuerui..."

Wang Xuerui was alarmed, realizing she had been so caught up in their conversation that she had forgotten about the others who came with them!

Turning around fiercely, her eyes filled with a murderous gaze as she stared at the two boys behind her, feeling both embarrassed and furious, wishing she could silence them on the spot.

Her fingers, pale as scallions, forcefully pinched the soft flesh of Chu Feng’s waist, and she hissed fiercely, "It’s all your fault, you’ve ruined my image!"

Chu Feng grimaced in pain; noticing the two boys with embarrassed expressions, he immediately grinned:

"Are these two seniors who are on a mission with you? Aren’t you going to introduce them to me?"

While speaking, he straightened his military uniform and dodged Wang Xuerui’s pincer-like fingers.

Wang Xuerui gave him a glance and pointed to the two, saying, "Pan Bo, Jiang Qingsheng, my old teammates, we’ve been on many missions together, they’re trustworthy."

Then pointing at Chu Feng, she told them, "Chu Feng, a new student at the school this year."

Pan Bo had always had a crush on Wang Xuerui, and upon seeing their playful banter, his heart tightened.

Seeing the happy smile on Wang Xuerui’s face, so different from her usual iciness, hurt him even more.

He forced a smile and asked, "This junior brother is..."

He still held a glimmer of hope: maybe this young man was a relative of Wang Xuerui?

Chu Feng, taking in his slender face and the affectionate gaze he directed towards Wang Xuerui, immediately understood the situation.

Alright then, another one who covets my future girlfriend.

Being a man himself, he found the thoughts of another man quite easy to guess.

"She’s my sworn sister with whom I’ve grown up, and furthermore..."

Before Pan Bo could show a relieved smile, Chu Feng wrapped his arm around Wang Xuerui’s slim waist, flashed a wide smile, and revealed a row of pearly white teeth:

"She’s also my childhood sweetheart and future girlfriend!"

Pan Bo stood there, shocked as if struck by lightning.

Wang Xuerui cast an annoyed glance at him but didn’t refute, just letting it go.

She was well aware of Pan Bo’s secret hopes for her, but she had never been one to feign interest where there was none.

She maintained the team of three with Pan Bo primarily because reliable comrades were hard to find.

Admirers buzzed around her constantly; she couldn’t just stop teaming up with others and struggle on her own everywhere she went.

However, now that the issue had come to light today, she considered finding a new teammate.

It was all Chu Xiaofeng’s fault, always causing her trouble!
