"You bastards, even at this time, you still come to mess with me... Wait, wait, what did you just say? You have a way, right? You must have a way to save my father, right?" Yan'er, who was fuming, suddenly realized something and rushed to Huo Feng's side, grabbing his arm tightly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.
At the same time, her eyes sparkled as she stared at Huo Feng. This sudden change caught Huo Feng off guard. Grimacing in pain, he said, "Sister, your nails are digging into my flesh; can you let go?" Huo Feng endured the pain and lifted his arm slightly.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I got too excited. Please tell me if you really have a way!" Yan'er immediately released her grip, feeling embarrassed, and gently smoothed Huo Feng's sleeve.
Huo Feng was staring at the nail marks on his arm with a pained expression. He touched it gently and said, "Do I look like someone who jokes about people's lives? Hurry up and take out the corpse of the Golden-Maned Wolf King from your Narcissistic Ring; we need it to save your father."
Upon hearing Huo Feng mention the corpse of the Golden-Maned Wolf King, Yan'er's expression changed instantly. She looked at Huo Feng cautiously and said, "So your way is to trick me into giving you the corpse of the Golden-Maned Wolf King? I always thought you weren't a good person; it seems I wasn't wrong."
Huo Feng rolled his eyes at her and replied, "The Phantom Butterfly told me about it. Oh! That's right; it was also the one that brought you here." Huo Feng pointed to the nearby Phantom Butterfly, which flapped its wings in response.
Yan'er stared wide-eyed at the palm-sized butterfly. She remembered that this Phantom Butterfly had appeared in her father's room before she inexplicably ended up in Huo Feng's room. But in an instant, Yan'er seemed to recall something and exclaimed in shock, "You mean it... told you?"
Realizing he had let something slip, Huo Feng quickly said, "I have a special method to communicate with magic... just don't worry about that. Believe me or not; if you don't believe me, then keep the corpse of the Golden-Maned Wolf King."
As the daughter of a town lord, Yan'er came from a decent family and wasn't overly concerned about the expensive corpse of the Golden-Maned Wolf King. For her father’s sake, even a glimmer of hope was worth trying. Without hesitation, she took out the corpse of the Golden-Maned Wolf King.
Huo Feng looked at the corpse on the ground and ignored Yan'er. He limped over and raised his hand. Frowning, he suddenly remembered that Stellar Grandpa had told him he couldn't mobilize Origin Force within two hours of waking up. He turned back to Yan'er and said, "You need to cut off that tuft of golden fur on the Golden-Maned Wolf King's head and then take out its heart from its forehead."
Yan'er was taken aback and asked, "Why is it me? Aren't you a man? Why make me do such a disgusting thing?"
Huo Feng was troubled by his loss of combat ability, but since he was not familiar with Yan'er, he couldn't tell her that he was now a Useless Person. He impatiently said, "Do as you like; I won't force you." With that, Huo Feng returned to sit by the table.
"You, fine, I'll do it," Yan'er said angrily as she took out a short knife from the Narcissistic Ring. For her father, she had no choice but to follow Huo Feng's lead.
Yan'er walked over to the Golden-Maned Wolf King, squatted down, and quickly cut off the tuft of golden fur on its head. However, when it came time to cut open its chest and retrieve the heart, Yan'er hesitated.
Seeing this, Huo Feng shook his head and took the short knife from Yan'er. He plunged the knife into the Golden-Maned Wolf King's chest and made a decisive cut. The wolf's body split open, and blood splattered onto Huo Feng's sleeve. Ignoring this, Huo Feng saw the heart of the Golden-Maned Wolf King and carefully cut it out with the short knife, holding it in his hand. He stood up and waved it in front of Yan'er, saying, "Is it that difficult?"
Yan'er looked at the dripping heart in Huo Feng's hand and quickly stepped back, angrily saying, "How can you be like this? I'm still a girl!"
Huo Feng rolled his eyes at her, took out a jade vessel from the Narcissistic Ring, and placed the wolf king's heart and the tuft of golden fur inside. He then told Yan'er, "Use your Origin Force to crush them together and cook them for your father. This way, you can save his life. However, his strength will decline significantly; still, it's better than dying."
Yan'er skeptically accepted the jade vessel and replied noncommittally, "I hope you're telling the truth." She quickly turned and left.
After Yan'er departed, Huo Feng thought to the Seven Star Spirit, "Stellar Grandpa, why didn't you tell me earlier that if I let you control my body, I wouldn't be able to use my Origin Force? Suddenly becoming a Useless Person really makes me reflect."
"You child, instead of thanking me, you're complaining? If it weren't for that back then, you'd be dead by now. It's just right for you to gather some information about Thunderstrike Hall while you're here," the Seven Star Spirit replied.
Huo Feng understood he had no choice but to comply. He said, "Alright! Once she takes care of her father's injuries, I'll ask them about it. Ever since I gained cultivation abilities, I've been fighting and training nonstop; it's rare to have such leisure time. I'll take a walk around this town." With that, Huo Feng stored Ice Puppet and Phantom Butterfly in the Narcissistic Ring and limped toward the door.
...
"Who are you? Is it okay for you to wander around the Mayor's residence?"
As Feng was passing by a garden, a man dressed in a white tight-fitting outfit blocked his way, looking at him with an unyielding expression.
Feng originally wanted to relax and didn't wish to engage in any unnecessary conversation. He calmly said, "Step aside," and attempted to walk around him.
The man reached out and forcefully grabbed Feng's arm. It should be noted that Feng was currently as helpless as he had been when he couldn't cultivate, and he was still nursing an injury to his leg. With this sudden pull, he fell to the ground.
The man immediately laughed mockingly, "Hahaha... you crippled fool! How did you even get in here? What are you plotting?"
Feng's expression darkened. Since he had started cultivating, he had never been treated like this as a useless person, which brought back memories of the past and ignited his anger. He quickly got up from the ground and summoned the Ice Puppet from his Narcissistic Ring.
A chill swept through the area, causing the man to shiver and stare in shock at the Ice Puppet.
At this moment, Feng said, "Are you ready to pay the price for your bullying?"
