The Strongest Urban Son-in-law
Chapter 156 - 154: Burden

Chapter 156: Chapter 154: Burden

Ye Feng’s calm words were tinged with an indescribable arrogance. His message was crystal clear without directly saying so, but he was essentially telling Fu Shen that it was him who had done the killing. What are you going to do about it?

"Very well, then you can go die..." Fu Shen licked his lips, his gaze revealing a bloodthirsty intent to kill.

As Fu Shen walked towards Ye Feng, Little Ai immediately showed a look of apprehension.

It was known that Fu Shen was a peak practitioner of Inner Strength at the Great Perfection level, and combined with the supreme dark arts from the Witchcraft Holy Book, even an ordinary Grandmaster would be in danger of losing their life if not careful. Little Ai was not certain that Ye Feng could defeat him.

"Stop!" Just at that moment, Miss Ruan and Little Ai both stepped forward, blocking Fu Shen.

"Oh? You two want to stop me?" Fu Shen smirked malevolently, licking his lips as he looked at Little Ai and Miss Ruan.

Miss Ruan said coldly, "Mr. Fu Shen, I warn you one last time. We have come here only in search of the Spiritual Liquid, to treat my father’s illness. We do not wish to harm any person from Dragon Country. If there is no Spiritual Liquid inside the Chiyou Divine Cave, we will leave Dragon Country immediately. We do not wish to create any commotion, so please do not hurt anyone!"

Miss Ruan’s tone was very firm, leaving no room for Fu Shen to argue.

Little Ai also looked at Fu Shen with an angry expression: "Fu Shen, Brother Ye Feng is an honored guest of our Bai Miao. If you want to harm him, then you’ll have to step over my dead body first!"

Little Ai knew that Fu Shen was fond of her; if it were any other member of the Black Miao, she might not have been so confident.

But this person was Fu Shen, so Little Ai felt that he would still give her some consideration.

"What a pretty boy, indeed handsome enough to make women want to protect him. Kid, take good care of yourself. Once we come out of the Holy Land, I’ll settle the score with you!" Fu Kun glared at Ye Feng fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

However, Ye Feng didn’t care at all and instead looked towards the cave.

At that moment, Miss Ruan approached Ye Feng and extended her right hand: "Mr. Ye, hello, my name is Ruan Xiaoyu, the daughter of the Prince of Y Country, Ruan Tiangang."

"Ye Feng..." Ye Feng extended his hand, shook hands with Ruan Xiaoyu, and calmly spoke.

Ruan Xiaoyu’s self-introduction managed to avoid disaster. Ye Feng had already made up his mind that no matter who it was or what their status, anyone who coveted the resources of Dragon Country must be killed.

But since the other party had stated their purpose and they had only come to seek Spiritual Medicine without meaning to harm anyone, then if the Chiyou Divine Cave indeed had the Spiritual Liquid, it wouldn’t be a problem to give them a small portion.

Ruan Xiaoyu said, "Mr. Ye Feng, since you were able to send Mr. Fu Kun and his men away empty-handed, it shows you possess some ability. I believe you’re aware that there’s something very dangerous inside the Chiyou Divine Cave. How about this, we join forces. If I obtain the Spiritual Liquid, I’ll provide you with a generous reward. What do you say?"

Ye Feng spoke indifferently: "If there is Spiritual Liquid, you may take some. But remember, this is Dragon Country’s territory. If you take more than allowed, don’t blame me for being unkind..."

After hearing Ye Feng’s words, Fu Shen’s eyes showed disdain: "What if you’re unkind? Can you reach the sky? Kid, watch your attitude. I’m really not pleased with you now!"

However, Ye Feng simply ignored Fu Shen, choosing to overlook him completely.

A flash of disdain flickered in Ruan Xiaoyu’s eyes, too, but it was transient. She smiled faintly, "Rest assured, once we have obtained the Spiritual Liquid, we shall leave."

"In that case, let’s set off!" Ruan Xiaoyu said to everyone.

They all nodded and walked into the Chiyou Divine Cave.

Inside the cave was dark and damp, but as they progressed, faint white glows could be seen flickering on the stone walls of the cave.

The terrain within the cave was extremely complex, with densely packed murals carved into the walls. Ye Feng noticed that the cave seemed to have a shielding effect against his spiritual power; even someone as powerful as he found his spiritual power hindered.

Ye Feng took in the murals inside the cave, gradually unraveling the origins of the Chiyou Divine Cave.

In Ancient Times, during the decisive battle for supremacy, Emperor Xuanyuan decapitated the Witch God Chiyou, splitting it into five parts, each sealed in one of the Five Continents.

This place was rumored to be where Chiyou’s head was sealed. The Miao people had been guarding this place generation after generation. Even though Chiyou was dead, the Miao people continued to worship him.

The murals depicted many extraordinary events that happened here. Ye Feng was deeply intrigued as he examined the paintings, becoming fascinated.

"Sss—" Just then, a black shadow suddenly flashed, swiftly darting towards Ye Feng.

It was actually a five-meter-long poisonous snake. Its mouth agape, baring fangs, the snake lunged at Ye Feng’s neck, but Ye Feng didn’t seem to dodge at all.

"Be careful!" Ruan Xiaoyu shouted. An elder beside her leapt out with incredible velocity, arriving in front of Ye Feng in the blink of an eye. He drew a razor-sharp Xuan iron dagger from his bosom and slashed with it.

The dagger was enveloped in True Essence, making the Xuan iron dagger even more formidable!

"Pu-chi—" With one sound, blood splattered as the elder effortlessly severed the snake’s tongue.

The tongue fell to the ground and the elder stamped on it.

"Pop!" In an instant, the tongue was crushed, and the remaining body writhed on the ground.

"Phew—" Little Ai exhaled a sigh of relief seeing this scene.

"Brother Ye Feng, be more attentive. I had forgotten to tell you that this place often has poisonous creatures far larger than normal, and one misstep could cost you your life. I usually steep myself in the Miao Clan’s antidote herbal baths, unlike you, hence these poisonous creatures will not approach me," Little Ai reminded Ye Feng.

Little Ai knew of Ye Feng’s strength and hadn’t mentioned it when they entered, but now she didn’t expect Ye Feng to be so careless.

The elder looked at Ye Feng with an indifferent face: "Young man, pay attention. If it wasn’t for the princess not wishing to cause a death, you’d be a corpse by now."

Ruan Xiaoyu looked at Ye Feng with a hint of disdain: "Mr. Ye, if you are not capable of handling this, then please leave and wait for us outside. Do not drag us down!"
