Chapter 2377 - 2356: Has the Dead Come Back to Life?
"Twenty thousand Yuan Stones, that’s all I have left!" Seeing Lin Feng still coming towards him, Wang Tu was terrified, his face looked worse than crying, his heart ached terribly. He only had a small stash of thirty thousand Yuan Stones, and now he’s completely swindled by this damned kid in front of him.
"Eh, I was just about to agree, but you opened your mouth and raised it to twenty thousand Yuan Stones. Since you’re so eager, I’ll just accept it!" Lin Feng scratched his head, as if he hadn’t intended to make a move on Wang Tu earlier, it was Wang Tu himself who offered the Yuan Stones to Lin Feng, and even raised the price, fearing it wasn’t enough!
After speaking, Lin Feng walked towards Wang Tu. This time Wang Tu was finally no longer afraid. Since Lin Feng had already accepted, he wouldn’t make a move on him again. A middle-stage Divine Origin Realm person was forced by someone at the Opening Epoch Realm Peak to this extent, Wang Tu really wanted to cough up blood, there was already a metallic taste in his throat...
Standing in front of Wang Tu, Lin Feng extended his hand and spat out two words: "Hand it over!"
At this moment, Wang Tu no longer wanted to argue with Lin Feng, immediately taking out twenty thousand Yuan Stones from the Space Treasure and handing them to Lin Feng. Looking at the Space Treasure, now empty and devoid of Yuan Stones, Wang Tu’s eyes welled up with tears. Saving this little capital wasn’t easy, and now Lin Feng had completely emptied it; how would he play with women in the future, how would he drink wine and eat meat...
Lin Feng, however, did not care about these things, he happily received the Yuan Stones into his Space Treasure, then turned and walked off the Martial Arena, heading to Elder Hu to claim his ten thousand Yuan Stone bet, and left with Tao Tao, leaving Wang Tu alone, disoriented in the wind.
Turning into an alley, Tao Tao couldn’t hold back any longer, laughing and saying to Lin Feng: "You’re just too mean, did you see Wang Tu’s face, it was truly hilarious!"
"Actually, I didn’t want to be so troublesome, but unfortunately, I haven’t completed the Yuangang Transformation yet. With my current strength against a true Divine King powerhouse, I fear I might not survive even if I exhaust all my cards, so this is a last resort." Lin Feng shook his head and said lightly.
"Hmm, I understand!" Tao Tao nodded; she of course understood what Lin Feng was concerned about and simply responded before asking Lin Feng: "The Yuan Stones are in hand, are we just going to let that damned guy go like that?"
"How could that be possible! Rest assured, I’ve already set a trap, and that guy probably won’t be able to harm women ever again," Lin Feng said with a hint of a smile on his lips. Daring to tease Tao Tao, he couldn’t just let him off easily—it’s simply impossible.
"That’s great!" Tao Tao smiled upon hearing Lin Feng say this; if it was indeed as Lin Feng said, then that damned guy wasn’t easy to deal with.
Just as they were talking, Lin Feng suddenly felt someone following them. He gave Tao Tao a look, and with a flicker movement, he performed Thousand Miles in One Step, instantly moving to a secluded spot seven or eight miles away.
"Seems like using my old identity won’t work, I’ll have to disguise myself," Lin Feng said briefly to Tao Tao, then he saw Lin Feng’s muscles under the control of Gang Qi start to change shape, in no time, all the muscles compressed, the skeleton appeared much smaller, and more remarkably, wrinkles covered his face, making him look like an old man at the end of his days.
Tao Tao knew this wasn’t the time to be reckless, given that if the Ning King Valley found out and a Divine King made a move, she and Lin Feng could face real danger. With a thought, she immediately used the disguise secret technique; her body suddenly became petite, still beautiful, but clearly resembling a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, looking like a grandfather-grandchild duo compared to Lin Feng.
At this point, Tao Tao playfully clung to Lin Feng’s arm and cried out: "Grandpa!"
"Hmm, good girl, let’s go." Lin Feng replied in an elderly voice, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
"Brother Lin, you’re so bad, taking advantage of me!" Upon hearing Lin Feng say this, Tao Tao instantly complained, thinking how Lin Feng could pretend to be her grandfather—it was really too much!
"Alright, no more jokes, let’s take a stroll and see if we can find anything. If not, we’ll leave here; we’ll likely not return in the future." Lin Feng patted Tao Tao’s hand that was holding his arm and said.
"Hmm..." Tao Tao responded softly, then didn’t speak anymore. She was following Lin Feng now. Though she was reluctant to leave here, she knew it wasn’t practical. If she wanted to come back later, she would just come back alone.
Transforming into a grandfather-grandchild duo, Lin Feng and Tao Tao walked out of the deserted corner and headed toward the market of Ning King Valley. Soon they arrived at the market, which was not very large due to geographical constraints, but the goods sold here were far better than those from Ning King Valley. Many rare spiritual medicines, rare refining materials, and even things unknown were randomly piled on the ground for selection.
Seeing the market, Tao Tao glanced at the still sleeping Tangyuan in her arms, feeling somewhat sad. If Tangyuan were awake, how wonderful it would be—Tangyuan would likely be very happy.
Lin Feng noticed Tao Tao’s expression, gently patted her hand to indicate everything was fine, and then led her into the market.
As they entered the market, the two browsed stall after stall. Though the quality here was significantly higher than in Ning City, Lin Feng couldn’t find anything he needed, which didn’t waste much time, but as they walked, Lin Feng suddenly looked at a person in the distance, and Tao Tao saw the same person, both instantly feeling as if they had seen a ghost!
The person was emaciated, incredibly old, sitting on the ground with a stall, but the important thing was that this person looked exactly like the already deceased Geomancer Qianjue!
Upon seeing this, Tao Tao’s eyes instantly filled with mist, ready to rush forward, but Lin Feng suddenly held her back, using sound transmission to say: "Don’t be impulsive, I suspect this is a trap!"
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed, gazing at the old man from afar. Lin Feng had seen Geomancer Qianjue die himself, it was impossible for him to be alive, yet this person looked like Geomancer Qianjue, making the situation intriguing. If it was across mountains and rivers, two people looking similar was possible, but Ning City and here aren’t too far apart, and two identical people are definitely fishy!
About to rush forward, Tao Tao heard Lin Feng’s words and quickly awoke, realizing Lin Feng’s meaning, though her eyes still lingered on the old man, filled with hope, she’d always wished the old man was the grandpa who raised her, that grandpa wasn’t dead...
After forcefully calming Tao Tao, Lin Feng led her over, pretending to be interested in something on the stall, asking the old man: "How much for this?"
The old man heard this and opened his hollow eyes. Lin Feng noticed the old man was blind. Then came an incredibly old voice: "I’ve waited for you; take this and go."
With that, the old man directly handed Lin Feng an old-looking book, making Lin Feng curious. So he asked puzzledly: "What does this mean?"
"You’ll understand what I said. I’m waiting here for you to appear, since the world is blind to the truth, only heart-eyes see what is clear." The old man gestured with his skeleton-like hand toward Lin Feng, then closed his eyes again as if he had turned back into a corpse.
Heart-eyes?
Hearing the old man’s words, Lin Feng seemed to have an epiphany. Indeed, he was disguised, others couldn’t tell, but this blind man recognized him by heart-eyes. With this in mind, Lin Feng thought this blind man truly isn’t arranged by an enemy.
But having said this, the old man turned into the same state as before; Lin Feng couldn’t ask more in this setting, so he kept the book and left with Tao Tao.
Tao Tao looked sadly at the old man, repeatedly glancing back, seeing this Lin Feng could only say for comfort: "Let’s go, that old man isn’t your grandpa; their aura isn’t the same."
Lin Feng led Tao Tao away, wondering what this was about. Was this blind man arranged by Geomancer Qianjue? But Geomancer Qianjue was dead, how could he arrange such a person, and the cryptic words left Lin Feng speechless.
Meanwhile, being pulled by Lin Feng, Tao Tao felt deeply uneasy; she really missed her grandpa. Though knowing grandpa was gone, seeing the old man would ease her heart, but with Lin Feng pulling her, she dared not act special, fearing being discovered and put herself and Lin Feng at risk.
Yet what Lin Feng and Tao Tao didn’t expect was, as they walked less than a mile away, when they turned back, the old man and his stall were gone. If not for the empty spot and the book in Lin Feng’s Space Ring, they would have thought the old man never existed!
"Brother Lin, who was that old man?" Tao Tao quietly asked Lin Feng.
"No idea, but I suspect it’s related to your grandpa." Lin Feng looked at Tao Tao, lightly frowning, gently saying to Tao Tao, now he suspected that Geomancer Qianjue was far more complex than before...
