"Oh, so that vixen is you."
Seeing Ye Xin Lan's caring expression, Xiao Yixian narrowed her beautiful eyes and spoke coldly.
"Xian'er, listen to me. The thing is like this—you know how the fire poison beneath the earth's passage is extremely fierce. We agreed you'd come to purge it, but that day when I came out, you never showed up. At that time, the fire poison in my body was already out of control, and then I just happened to run into Xin Lan."
Lin Feng immediately explained everything that had happened.
After hearing it all, Xiao Yixian's delicate face suddenly changed. The icy coldness on her face instantly melted into embarrassment.
That day, she had barely managed to refine a useless seventh-tier pill, and she saw that she was only one step away from successfully refining a true seventh-tier pill. So she lost her head for a moment, determined to push through and succeed in one go.
But after trying for a long time, she still failed. By the time she came back to her senses, the appointment with Lin Feng had long passed.
"This time I really lost big. Not only did I fail to refine a seventh-tier pill, but I indirectly played matchmaker, pushing my own husband into this woman's arms!"
Xiao Yixian looked at Ye Xin Lan's face full of concern and could only regret bitterly in her heart.
"Sigh, forget it. After all, Xin Lan's clan is also one of the Five Great Clans of the Pill Tower. Although they've declined a lot in recent years, their foundation is still there. Once Lin Feng helps them overcome this crisis, they'll surely recover, and they'll be able to assist him greatly in the future."
Thinking this through, she let out a soft breath, then bit her silver teeth and said to Ye Xin Lan, "You can only be the concubine."
With that, she turned and left.
When she had set out from Black-Corner Region to Central Plains, that old snake-woman had told her to keep a close eye on Lin Feng and not let him fool around outside. Now, seeing things turn out like this, she had no idea how she would even explain it when she went back.
Just imagining that old woman's expression gave her a pounding headache.
"Right, when the time comes I'll just dump all the responsibility on Lin Feng. I'll say he sneaked out and dragged her back. Yes, that's it. Anyway, that old woman can't possibly kill her own child's father. At most, she'll just beat Lin Feng half to death."
Having thought out a strategy, Xiao Yixian finally breathed easier, humming a cheerful tune as she walked away. Leaving behind only a dumbfounded Lin Feng and a blushing Ye Xin Lan.
"She's… agreeing to it?"
Watching Xiao Yixian's retreating back, Lin Feng scratched his head in confusion.
"Big Brother Lin Feng, let me help you rest first. Also, when I saw Grandpa just now, he said that the application for early assessment has already been approved by the other Four Great Clans of the Pill Tower. In just over half a month, the assessment can begin."
At this time, Ye Xin Lan spoke softly.
"Alright, once I've rested, we'll set out for Holy Pill City where the Pill Tower is located."
At the mention of Pill Tower, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, excitement flashing in them.
Originally, he had planned to use this time to devour the soul of Lue Feng Zun Zhe and attempt a breakthrough into Spirit Realm level.
But since the Pill Tower assessment was imminent, taking it first was no problem. After all, he was extremely curious about Holy Pill City and the Pill Tower. Now that he had the chance to see them for himself, there was no way he would refuse.
Besides, after this assessment, the Ye Clan had promised to recommend him into the Little Pill Tower. Inside there were all genuine masters of alchemy. That would surely bring him tremendous improvement in his refining skills.
hinking of this, he suddenly felt that the injuries from Xiao Yixian's blows no longer hurt at all. He quickly stood up, brushed the dust off himself, then said to Ye Xin Lan, "Come, let's go see your grandfather, then set out for Holy Pill City."
"Lin Feng big brother, are you sure your injuries are fine?"
Seeing him full of energy, Ye Xin Lan asked worriedly.
Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Don't you know how tough my body is?"
At his words, Ye Xin Lan's delicate face couldn't help but flush slightly red. Lin Feng's toughness had indeed left a deep impression on this eighteen-year-old girl. Then she nodded, "Alright then, I'll take you to see Grandpa."
As she spoke, her fair jade hand quietly slipped into Lin Feng's big palm, leading him outward. But when Lin Feng arrived at the Ye Clan's main hall, he realized that not only was Ye Zhong's group there Just then, even Xiao Yixian was quietly sitting on a chair, sipping tea in her hand.
"Mr. Lin Feng, Venerable Xian has already had everything prepared. We're just waiting for you to arrive so we can depart."
When he saw him arrive, Ye Zhong immediately stepped forward to speak.
But when his gaze fell upon his granddaughter's hand tightly clasped together with Lin Feng's, a flash of excitement quickly passed across his face.
Originally he only wanted to try it out, but unexpectedly his granddaughter really did win over Lin Feng, this peak seventh-tier alchemist. This time, the Ye Clan had struck it big!
However, when he thought of Xiao Yixian sitting on the side, a trace of worry passed through his heart again. That woman was a Dou Zun after all. If she were to develop hostility toward their daughter, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.
As for Lin Feng, he didn't know what was going through the elder's heart. After hearing those words, his gaze turned directly toward Xiao Yixian.
"Let's go."
Xiao Yixian didn't even look at him, but instead stood up and spoke. With that, she simply walked out on her own.
"Uh, right, let's go then."
Seeing her actions, Lin Feng knew she was still somewhat upset, and quickly replied.
After that, he called for the Ye Clan members to set out. Once he was done, he tugged Ye Xin Lan along and hurried to Xiao Yixian's side, then directly pulled her into his embrace.
As for Xiao Yixian, after symbolically struggling a few times, she simply allowed him to hold her like this—one arm around each woman. Behind them, the Ye Clan members all had eyes filled with envy.
Lin Feng not only had Xiao Yixian, such a powerful and beautiful wife, but also drew their family's young miss into his arms as well. Compared to their miserable selves, he was leagues ahead.
"Second, third, this time I'll accompany Lin Feng and Venerable Xian to the Holy Pill City. Affairs of the Ye Clan will be left to you to handle."
At the Ye Clan's internal space wormhole entrance, Ye Zhong solemnly told the two senior elders of the clan.
"Mm, big brother, rest assured and focus on matters in Holy Pill City. Although the Ye Clan has gradually declined, after all, Venerable Xian has set up some defenses for us during this time. Unless other Dou Zun experts come knocking, ordinary cultivators will not be able to break through those defenses."
Hearing this, one Ye Clan elder responded seriously. The other elders nearby also nodded in agreement.
"The space wormhole has been stabilized. Let's depart."
At this moment, beside the swirling black vortex, Xiao Yixian slowly lowered her slender arms and spoke calmly.
This internal Ye Clan wormhole, due to long lack of maintenance, radiated highly chaotic spatial fluctuations. Therefore, before setting out, Xiao Yixian had already stabilized it once.
Otherwise, if an unstable wormhole caused a spatial storm halfway, she as a Dou Zun and Lin Feng as a peak Dou Zong would be fine. But as for the others, that was hard to say.
"Alright then, Mr. Lin Feng, let us go."
Hearing Xiao Yixian's words, Ye Zhong immediately turned and addressed Lin Feng.
"Mm."
Lin Feng nodded, then took the lead in stepping into the wormhole.
"Whoosh~"
The others quickly followed.
Accompanied by several faint sounds of the air being split, they all entered that slowly rotating vortex behind him.
After entering the space wormhole, to accommodate Xin Lan whose strength was only at Dou Wang, Lin Feng and the others chose to ride a spatial ship.
Of course, piloting the ship fell squarely on Ye Zhong's shoulders. After all, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian—he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
As for Ye Xin Lan, Ye Zhong hoped she could spend more time with Lin Feng, so as to secure her position sooner.
