Ordinary women basically reverted to their original form after removing their makeup. When Xue Qinghe removed his makeup, he turned into a beautiful young girl.

Although Qian Renxue knew that Ye Feng coveted her beauty, being called ugly to her face naturally displeased her. She had to prove herself.

"By the way, when did you come to the palace? Did you spy on me again not long ago?"

Qian Renxue suddenly recalled something and asked with a frown, her gaze toward Ye Feng filled with suspicion.

Although she had no proof, Ye Feng had a record—twice, at that. She strongly suspected he had been the one spying on her.

"I only just left the academy. You can investigate it yourself if you don't believe me." Ye Feng spread his hands, pretending to be innocent.

"Really?"

Qian Renxue looked suspicious, but Ye Feng truly did not seem to be lying.

Besides, with Ye Feng's thick skin, if he really had spied on her, he would have admitted it outright. Since he had only just left Heaven Dou Academy, the peeper definitely was not him.

Perhaps being seen through by Ye Feng twice had left her with psychological trauma...

But it was all that bastard Ye Feng's fault!

Qian Renxue silently drew circles in her heart, cursing Ye Feng...

"I came this time to fulfill our agreement." Ye Feng felt somewhat uncomfortable under Qian Renxue's resentful gaze and hurriedly got down to business.

"Oh?"

Sure enough, as soon as she heard that, Qian Renxue became interested. "So how do you plan to invest in me?"

Qian Renxue asked curiously.

Ye Feng had said that his terrifying strength had not been innate, but acquired later.

She was extremely curious what could possibly elevate someone's strength to such an extent.

She had read extensively and had never heard of such a thing existing in this world. Yet if it had not been acquired later, she truly could not understand why Ye Feng possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age.

Her Angel Martial Soul was a God-tier Martial Soul, and her Innate Soul Power had reached a terrifying Rank 20. She was the most outstanding child in the Angel Clan's history.

Yet Ye Feng had beaten her senseless...

That left her deeply frustrated, and she was also incredibly curious about exactly how Ye Feng had become so powerful.

"With this."

As if he had done it countless times before, Ye Feng took out a small pill and held it before Qian Renxue. "This pill is called a Sword Pill. After taking it, you can obtain a terrifying sword body, greatly improving your attainments in the sword. Although the Angel Martial Soul does not specialize in the sword, gaining a sword body will significantly increase your overall combat power and cultivation speed."

"A Sword Pill... this little black pellet? You're not joking with me, are you?" Qian Renxue widened her beautiful eyes as she stared at the little black pill in Ye Feng's hand, clearly dumbfounded.

Her spiritual power was not weak, but no matter how she examined the little black pill, it appeared entirely ordinary—a normal medicinal pill.

The faint scent it gave off also seemed familiar to her. It was just the smell of common wild grass mixed with some binding agent...

Ye Feng was claiming this thing was some kind of Sword Pill? Was he trying to fool a dog?

"If you're afraid it's poisonous, then don't eat it."

Ye Feng casually tossed the small pill in front of Qian Renxue and shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

After all, it was Qian Renxue's own choice. If she wanted an opportunity, she had to accept the accompanying risks. If she did not want to take even the slightest risk, that would be far too easy.

Ye Feng had made this pill partly to conceal the power of Traits and partly to test her, to see whether she was worth investing in.

"Fine! I'll eat it!"

Qian Renxue shot Ye Feng a fierce glare. Then, gritting her teeth, she picked up the pill and swallowed it directly.

Her Angel Martial Soul possessed the power of "holiness," capable of purifying all filth, including all kinds of poisons. Naturally, she was not afraid.

Besides, if Ye Feng truly wanted to do something to her, he had many ways to do it.

Though Ye Feng was a bad guy.

She could still tell that he was open and upright by nature. He would never do something so underhanded.

If it truly were poisonous, he would definitely tell her directly rather than hide it.

Once the pill entered her stomach, Qian Renxue frowned slightly. She did not feel anything unusual. Since she had swallowed it whole, she had not even tasted it.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to ask a question, her beautiful eyes abruptly widened...

Because at that very moment, she felt as though her body had undergone some wondrous change.

"The Sword Pill... the sword body... this feeling..."

Boom—

Qian Renxue's aura suddenly erupted. Her sharp sword intent spun out of control, instantly shredding the desks, chairs, vases, and famous paintings in the study into dust!

Dense sword marks appeared across the walls in an instant, cutting more than ten centimeters deep.

However, when that sword intent struck Ye Feng, it could not harm him in the slightest. It could not even leave a faint white mark.

Chapter 66: Zhu Zhuqing Comes Calling

Qian Renxue's pretty face was filled with shock.

She had never imagined that Ye Feng had been telling the truth!

What she had just taken really was a Sword Pill!

At that moment, Qian Renxue felt like a sword expert who had cultivated the sword for a hundred years.

An enormous amount of insight into the sword continuously flooded into her mind, while terrifying sword intent shot out from within her body, making it difficult for her to control for a time.

"Calm down. At this rate, you're going to tear down your own chambers."

Ye Feng rushed over in a single stride, grabbed Qian Renxue, and directly released his domain, swiftly gathering up all the sword intent.

Qian Renxue used a sword, but her understanding of the sword was far too shallow. Coupled with her lack of preparation, this caused the terrifying sword intent contained within the Great Accomplishment Sword Body to erupt.

Once Qian Renxue came to her senses, she quickly regained control of herself and rapidly drew back her sword intent.

Very soon, all the sword intent in the room had been completely drawn back into Qian Renxue's body.

"So this is the investment you spoke of..."

Qian Renxue muttered to herself, still too shocked to recover.

Although she had not tested it yet, merely from that terrifying sword comprehension, Qian Renxue could feel that her combat strength had already increased severalfold!

Originally, with the Angel Domain, her combat power could reach that of a Soul Douluo.

But now, she felt that she could already defeat a low-level Soul Douluo!

And that was before she had even fully digested this gain.

If she could calm down and comprehend and absorb it properly, then with the Angel Domain, her combat power could even approach that of a Titled Douluo!

Qian Renxue finally understood why she had lost to Ye Feng.

A single "investment" that Ye Feng gave her so casually was already this terrifying.

How powerful must the "investments" Ye Feng gave himself be?

"So, my investment didn't disappoint you, did it?" Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you! I feel amazing right now!"

Qian Renxue nodded repeatedly, unable to suppress the joy on her face.

At the same time, her attitude and opinion of Ye Feng underwent a tremendous change.

Although Ye Feng was a little bad, and he liked peeping...

At least when he had something good, he really gave it to her!

Just one investment could save her years of arduous cultivation!

She could feel that her body had seemingly been transformed. Not only was it exceptionally suited for the sword, but her physique had also been strengthened. She had no idea how much her cultivation speed had increased!

Originally, she had planned to wait until she grew stronger before poisoning Xue Ye. That would have been safer.

But now, Qian Renxue felt that her strength was already sufficient.

She had given Xue Ye a slow-acting poison. By the time Xue Ye died suddenly, she would likely have combat power comparable to a Titled Douluo and fear no one!

"Alright, cultivate well. I'm from Star Sect. If I need anything, I'll come to you for help."

Ye Feng stood up, turned, and left directly.

Star Sect was his base in the human world. With Bi Ji and Zi Ji there, its steady development would not be a problem.

But some matters still required someone with influence above.

Of course, that was only a minor reason.

The main reason he had invested in Qian Renxue was that he felt her talent was worthy of the investment. If there was an opportunity in the future, he could bring her under his command and make her one of his capable subordinates.

"So you're from Star Sect. I understand..."

Qian Renxue nodded lightly. Naturally, she had heard of Star Sect, the new force that had recently emerged in Sky Curtain City. It was said to have been founded by two mysterious powerhouses.

However, Star Sect kept a low profile, so she had only heard a little about it and had not paid much attention.

She had not expected Ye Feng to come from that mysterious sect.

If I get the chance, I could pay them a visit, Qian Renxue thought quietly.

The next moment.

Mist rose around Qian Renxue, and she returned to Xue Qinghe's appearance.

A faint smile rested on his face, gentle and warm.

After leaving Heaven Dou City, Ye Feng returned to Star Sect.

Bi Ji and Zi Ji were naturally delighted. Both stopped cultivating and stayed by Ye Feng's side to care for him, inseparable from him.

When he slept, Bi Ji was on his left and Zi Ji on his right, with Ye Feng squeezed between two pairs of soft, oversized "pillows."

Zi Ji even wanted to support him when he went to the toilet...

Perhaps because of the unsealing of his bloodline, Bi Ji and Zi Ji felt that Ye Feng was becoming more and more fragrant, making them want to stay by his side even more.

Ye Feng found this rather helpless, but he also enjoyed it quite a bit...

Ye Feng stayed at Star Sect for several days. Just as he was about to leave, he received an unexpected "guest."

"Hello, I'd like to see Ye Feng. Is he here?"

At the entrance of Star Sect, a curvaceous young girl with a trace of travel-weariness stood before the gate and asked the guards.

The visitor was Zhu Zhuqing, who had withdrawn from Shrek.

She had originally been with Ning Rongrong, but after arriving in Sky Curtain City, Ning Rongrong said she wanted to wait for her family. Since Zhu Zhuqing was anxious to find Ye Feng, she simply came on her own first.

"Miss, may I ask what business you have with the Young Sect Master?" Upon hearing this, the guard immediately gave Zhu Zhuqing another look.

He was only an ordinary martial man, but he was not foolish.

Ye Feng kept a very low profile. Anyone who knew Ye Feng's name was likely Ye Feng's friend, so naturally, he did not dare be rude and merely asked normally.

"I'm Ye Feng's friend. I came to Star Sect to take the assessment..." Zhu Zhuqing said.

Although Ye Feng had told her to come back in a year, she had already withdrawn from Shrek and had nowhere else to go. She could only come to Star Sect and give it a try.

If Star Sect would not take her in, she would think of another way.

"Alright, please wait, I..."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Ye Feng appeared at the entrance. He waved at Zhu Zhuqing and said with a smile, "Zhuqing, come in."

"Young Sect Master!"

"Young Sect Master!"

The two guards at the entrance hurriedly bowed upon seeing Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng~"

When Zhu Zhuqing saw Ye Feng, she felt inexplicably happy and hurriedly jogged over.
