"How did you get here? How did you know I was here? How did you..."
Huo Feng found himself wanting to say many things, but he didn't know where to start, and he began to stammer, looking foolishly at Ruo Xi. Huo Feng never expected that he would encounter Ruo Xi so soon after arriving here; everything seemed to happen too suddenly, catching him off guard as he prepared to face a formidable challenge.
Ruo Xi was initially a bit shy, but upon seeing Huo Feng's silly expression, she couldn't help but laugh lightly and said, "Let's find another place to talk; it's too crowded here."
Huo Feng glanced around and noticed that everyone's attention was on Ruo Xi. Even the few women accompanying the men were secretly glancing at her. At that moment, Huo Feng smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after a few years, you would become even more alluring. Just look around."
Seeing Huo Feng teasing her, Ruo Xi replied, "So standing next to you only highlights your charm even more!"
However, Huo Feng also noticed the jealous and resentful looks from the men around them and helplessly said, "I don't think so. Just look at their eyes; they look like they want to devour me alive."
"Are you saying I'm a nuisance? That I'm bringing you trouble?" Ruo Xi puffed up her cheeks and pretended to be angry, turning her head away.
Huo Feng tilted his body toward the direction Ruo Xi had turned and laughed, "How could that be? This just proves that my Ruo Xi is as beautiful as a flower! I don't want to give this troublesome opportunity to anyone else. If anyone dares to hinder me, I'll just keep improving my strength and trample them underfoot."
Ruo Xi felt even more embarrassed upon hearing this. She turned away from Huo Feng and playfully pouted, "Who belongs to you?"
At that moment, Huo Feng took Ruo Xi's hand and said seriously, "Come on, let's go for a walk outside the city."
Seeing Huo Feng suddenly become serious, Ruo Xi obediently nodded. They left the hotel together and headed toward the outskirts of the city.
Once outside the city, Huo Feng found an open patch of grass and sat closely beside Ruo Xi. He then recalled his earlier question and asked, "Hey, I was just asking you—how did you know I was here?"
Ruo Xi leaned closer to Huo Feng and replied, "I originally wanted to come see you. I didn't know if you had forgotten me, but I still wanted to find you. So I sneaked out and went to Nottingham City to look for you; but then they came looking for me. When I heard that news, I was really happy inside. So I had my Spirit Dragon track your aura all the way here."
Ruo Xi actually knew that she was growing up, and it was possible that she would be forced to marry the strongest young man of a different surname within the Sect. However, in her heart, there was only Huo Feng. She wanted to find Huo Feng to get an answer; if it was affirmative, she was prepared to resist with her life, and if it was negative, she would accept her fate.
At this moment, Ruo Xi felt very uneasy. She was unsure whether to tell him that Huo Lianqing had been captured by the Underworld Palace. If she told him, Huo Feng would definitely rush to rescue Huo Lianqing without regard for his own safety, which would only lead to disaster. On the other hand, if she didn't tell him, Ruo Xi worried that if something happened to Huo Lianqing, Huo Feng would resent her in the future.
Huo Feng suddenly turned Ruo Xi's body around so they were facing each other. At that moment, Huo Feng's mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but when he prepared to speak, he realized he was so nervous that he could hear his own heartbeat, and his face began to flush.
Ruo Xi also noticed something unusual about Huo Feng. She felt his heart racing rapidly as if he had stepped on something and became a bit nervous herself. Lowering her head, she asked, "Brother Feng, what... what's wrong?"
At this point, Huo Feng decided to muster his courage and express what he wanted to say. He spoke quickly, "Ruo Xi, I came to find you because I want to tell you that I like you."
Huo Feng didn't even know how he finished speaking; he only felt a wave of relief wash over him afterward as he let out a long breath.
"I... I like you too."
"What?" Huo Feng thought Ruo Xi would reject him; unexpectedly, the answer was affirmative. He couldn't believe his ears and asked again, "Really?"
At this moment, Ruo Xi raised her head and looked at Huo Feng seriously. "Actually, I came to find you this time to confirm your feelings for me because I was afraid you might forget me and not remember what you said back then."
After hearing Ruo Xi's words, Huo Feng felt a bit apologetic. "Actually, at that time I only knew that being with you was very comfortable and fun; it made me feel at ease. But while we were together, I didn't realize that I liked you. It wasn't until you left that I discovered something seemed to be missing from my heart. That was when I realized I had fallen for you. So I worked even harder in my training to improve my strength in order to find you."
"I didn't expect you to really come back. So from now on, I'll wait for you. You need to reach the Calamity Pulse Realm before you turn twenty." After saying this, Ruo Xi felt she shouldn't have said it because she had already determined in her heart that she would only be with Huo Feng. So she continued, "But even if you don't reach it, it doesn't matter; I'll still follow you."
However, Huo Feng took this in stride and thought that it seemed the legendary Three Ancient Sects were indeed extraordinary. The strongest among the Three Major Forces in the outside world only had a few members of Oblivion Tempest, yet the standard for marrying the daughter of the Beast Cultivation Sect's leader was to reach this realm before turning twenty.
Nevertheless, this did not discourage Huo Feng; instead, it filled him with desire and determination. He then asked Ruo Xi, "Can you tell me about the power dynamics and distribution of strength in this domain? Especially regarding your ancient Three Major Sects?"
"Brother Feng, it's not easy for me to sneak out this time. I estimate I'll have to go back soon; otherwise, if I'm discovered, I'll have to reflect in the Beast Domain. So let's just put everything aside and enjoy our time together, okay?" Ruo Xi said with a hint of complaint.
Huo Feng smiled and replied, "Alright, let's forget everything for these two days and not worry about anything. How about we spend tonight under the night sky, enjoying the stars?"
"Sounds great! I'm happy doing anything with Brother Feng," Ruo Xi exclaimed excitedly.
"Oh no! This is bad, I'm about to die! Ruo Xi, can I not be a third wheel here? I'm afraid I might end up hurt or worse," he said dramatically.
At that moment, a delicate girl's voice suddenly rang out from Ruo Xi. Huo Feng was taken aback and curiously asked, "What's going on? Is there someone else inside you?"
Ruo Xi's face flushed at Huo Feng's words; how could a young lady have someone inside her? Doesn't that mean she's pregnant? She immediately feigned anger and said, "Brother Feng, you're so bad! What do you mean there's another girl inside me? I'm... I'm not pregnant!"
"Ah!" Huo Feng didn't expect Ruo Xi to think of that, so he awkwardly explained, "I meant how is there another voice coming from your body?"
Only then did Ruo Xi realize it was her Spirit Dragon. "That's my Contract Beast, Spirit Dragon. Unfortunately, I can't let it out for you to see because it needs to help me conceal my aura from the people in the Sect."
"Oh! Such a romantic scene; it's like a beautiful flower growing in cow dung."
"Exactly, exactly."
At that moment, several sarcastic voices interrupted them. Huo Feng and Ruo Xi were so engrossed that they hadn't noticed someone approaching. They turned to see three individuals in their twenties walking toward them.
Huo Feng recognized these people as the ruffians he had seen drinking at the Inviting Moon Tavern. Although they were ruffians, their strength was at the Vein Realm level one, highlighting the significant difference between this place and where Huo Feng used to stay.
Upon hearing this, Ruo Xi became furious. She stood up and glared at them angrily, shouting, "You scum are nothing but real filth; get lost!"
She appeared gentle and lovely towards Huo Feng, but when faced with these scoundrels, her demeanor changed dramatically, as if she was ready to deal with them. At that moment, Huo Feng stood up and pulled Ruo Xi back, smiling at the three men.
Ruo Xi looked at Huo Feng and could sense the anger hidden beneath Huo Feng's smile. She understood that Huo Feng was determined to uphold a man's dignity and was preparing to take action, so she obediently moved to Huo Feng's side.
The men thought Huo Feng was timid and unwilling to cause trouble. Seeing him approach with a smile, they assumed he was coming to speak kindly to them and burst into laughter. One of them said, "Looks like I overestimated you; you're even worse than a woman, how could you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt someone grip his throat tightly, rendering him speechless. It was then he realized that it was Huo Feng who had him by the neck.
Huo Feng's smile gradually faded, replaced by a cold expression. He said icily, "How dare you disturb our limited time together? This is absolutely unforgivable."
With a forceful throw, he sent the man flying far away. The man coughed violently as he got up and angrily shouted, "Bastards! You're asking for death. I was careless just now. Brothers, let's go together and beat this bastard to death!"
The three men charged at Huo Feng together. Although Huo Feng noticed they possessed Vein Realm strength, their aggressive approach seemed more like a show; they appeared to be from a wealthy family relying on drugs for enhancement.
Not wanting to waste the brief time with Ruo Xi, Huo Feng raised his hands and pointed at their knees.
"Dragon Spike."
Six slender silver needles of Origin Force shot directly towards their knees, causing the three men to cry out in pain as they fell to the ground. Huo Feng glared at them fiercely and said, "Get lost if you know what's good for you; I don't want to kill anyone in front of her."
