Chapter 24: Based on What?! Just Because He’s Amazingly Handsome?!

Watching Jiang Bufan’s arrogance, Ling Feng felt a mix of emotions.

However!

Though Jiang Bufan exaggerated, the fact that Ling Feng accidentally rescued the trapped Goddess King in a secret realm was not hidden by Jiang Luoli.

Initially, the Jiang family patriarch wanted to repay Ling Feng.

But back then, their enemies still lurked, and to avoid implicating Ling Feng, the matter was concealed.

Now, with the Jiang family’s enemies vanquished by the Goddess King, she had expressed an intention to visit the Northern Region when convenient.

Who could’ve thought Ling Feng would come alone tonight.

Thus, they didn’t doubt Ling Feng’s identity; attempting to deceive the Jiang family was simply suicidal!

The Goddess King’s current whereabouts unknown, the Jiang family patriarch left Jiang Bufan to host Ling Feng, thinking young people would have common topics.

Jiang Bufan, a significant figure, was the confirmed next patriarch of the Jiang family, a big honor indeed.

Ling Feng shook his head, a bit embarrassed.

“Brother Jiang, you’re truly too kind.”

Then, he became serious, gratitude showing in his eyes as he said, “Truly, the Goddess King is my lifesaver.”

This was true.

Had the Goddess King not broken five seals for him, he’d likely have perished in the Northern Region.

And prospering amidst the Great Hundred Dynasties Battle would’ve been impossible.

“Haha, Brother Ling is entirely right,” Jiang Bufan laughed heartily.

“But!” he continued, “Even without saving the Goddess King, with your talent, the Jiang family would still honor you as a distinguished guest. Not everyone can punch Ji Bo of the Ji family into submission.”

Ling Feng’s remarkable display of power in the Ji family, defeating Ji Bo, had spread widely.

However, his Primordial Sacred Body remained concealed.

“Stop the small talk, get to business!” scolded the elder within the ring.

Hearing the voice in his mind, Ling Feng smiled slightly, “Brother Jiang overpraises, it was just luck…”

Then, turning serious, he asked, “Where is the Goddess King?”

Ling Feng’s main purpose for this visit was to see Jiang Luoli.

For both long-lost contact and crucial personal seal issues.

If they asked for complete removal, he’d have a shot at contending with Lin Ao Tian!

In response, Jiang Bufan only offered a wry smile.

“The Goddess King is elusive—only appearing when seeking us. She was in the Palace of War God today, then vanished…”

“If the Goddess King were here, she’d surely see you first!”

“For years, she’s spoken highly of you, even saying that in the future, among the utmost pinnacle, you’d have your place!”

Ling Feng paused, his heart delighted.

The Goddess King valued him so much…

“Haha, kid, you’re in luck. The prestigious Eastern Wilderness Goddess King takes you seriously; deny her interest in you if you dare!” the elder in the ring laughed heartily.

“What nonsense, Master,” Ling Feng retorted in his mind, though a smile crept onto his face.

Suddenly!

Recalling the Goddess King’s prior surge of battle intent, he inquired with care, “Earlier, I sensed the Goddess King’s battle spirit. Did something happen?”

Jiang Bufan shook his head gently.

“No.”

“The Goddess King has grown immensely in strength, her divine body complete, peerless in battle. What could happen in this Eastern Wilderness Ancient Continent?”

Hearing this, Ling Feng internally relaxed, but then felt a bit down.

The Goddess King isn’t here…

But the next second, Jiang Bufan’s words stirred his excitement anew.

“Brother Ling needn’t worry!”

“Tomorrow, otherworldly elites will enter the Eastern Wilderness Ancient Continent, desiring to challenge us and overcome our generation’s prodigies!”

“At that time, the Goddess King will undoubtedly appear!”

Ling Feng initially rejoiced, then grew puzzled at the term “otherworldly elites”: “Otherworldly elites?”

…

Meanwhile.

Within the Lin family’s Feixian Palace.

Silence reigned.

“Crack!”

Amid the silence, the sound of a bone breaking echoed.

Lin Yindao crossed his hands behind, face calm.

Beside him, Ji Daotian’s face was full of shock, his mouth agape in speechless disbelief.

Hearing the bone-breaking sound jolted him awake.

He glanced sidelong at Lin Yindao, who was feigning calmness.

“Old ghost, did you hear that? What do you think?”

Ji Daotian’s mouth twitched, transmitting his inquiry.

He couldn’t fathom it!

He needed someone to tell him this was fake!

Who could possibly believe this?

The esteemed Eastern Wilderness Goddess King, cutting down powerful beings, wielding blades to compel a junior to marry her?

Damn!

Mentioning this would earn laughter and disbelief!

Even if Lin Ao Tian had the makings of a great emperor, so what?

He’s not an emperor yet, and the future isn’t set in stone!

“…”

Lin Yindao didn’t respond.

Ji Daotian’s face showed suspicion, “Old ghost?”

Suddenly!

He noticed blood dripping behind Lin Yindao.

“What the hell!”

“Lin old ghost, you’re bleeding!”

But Lin Yindao stayed silent, with a calm demeanor, murmuring repeatedly, “The Goddess King proposed to our Empire’s Son… The Goddess King proposed to our Empire’s Son…”

“We’re blessed… Our family is blessed…”

Ji Daotian’s mouth twitched violently.

Then, taking a deep breath, he cast his gaze on the still-calm white-robed youth.

Curse him inwardly: “Damn, based on what!”

“What, just because he’s handsome?”

“Heck, this girl…”

Ji Daotian noticed the cold-faced Ji Yue’er, sighing inwardly.

“Alas, what a crime!”

Ji Yue’er clenched her silver teeth countless times, fists tightly grasped, cold gaze fixed on Jiang Luoli.

Finally, she couldn’t resist sending a sound transmission.

“Wench Jiang, you shameless hussy, at your age, have you no dignity, proposing to Brother Ao Tian?”

Jiang Luoli’s body tensed, eyes growing cold.

“When reincarnating, you voiced no objections, only waking sooner due to weaker power. Ji Yue’er, you’re a sly bitch!”

The later the reincarnation, the sooner one awakened, though weaker but advantageous later.

Then, Jiang Luoli scoffed silently, “Yet you lack my temerity, presenting the Supreme Bone, a free giveaway plus attachment. Lin Lang refused, what’s changed from last life?”

“Heh, who could outdo your shamelessness?!”

“You!”

Raging tremors shook Ji Yue’er, yet swiftly she smiled back.

“Oh?”

“You think Brother Ao Tian will accept you?”

“Of course!”

Jiang Luoli confidently retorted.

“Heh, let’s see then!”

Ji Yue’er smiled, focusing on the white robes ahead, silently praying.

Brother Ao Tian, you mustn’t agree!

If you choose, choose me first!

I was here first!

Jiang Luoli also gazed at Lin Ao Tian, growing more anxious inside.

Spoke boldly, yet unsure!

Since the man before her, was a supreme future being!

At this moment.

Everyone’s gaze fixated on Lin Ao Tian.
