Explanation Is Concealment

The chilling energy fluctuations continued to intensify. Rings of white, frigid air relentlessly assaulted everything within the Ancient Map. The tables, chairs, and maps on the shelves were first covered with ice crystals, then shattered into piles of ice shards by the sustained energy fluctuations.

"It's so cold."

Ya Fei trembled all over. She was only at the level of a Dou Shi (Battle Master), how could she withstand the impact of the icy Dou Qi of a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit) level Dou Zhe)?

Ye Feng reached out and put his arm around Ya Fei's slender waist.

"Ah?"

Ya Fei let out a shriek. Her nerves were taut. The icy coldness emanating from her body turned her flushed face a purplish-red.

Ye Feng ignored Ya Fei's expression. He reached out his other hand and pulled Ya Fei into his arms. He activated the Power of Creation within him to dispel the cold from Ya Fei's body.

Ya Fei was stunned. If she remembered correctly, Ye Feng possessed the ability to create barriers. Ye Feng could have easily used barriers to shield Hai Bo Dong's icy battle aura. However, Ye Feng did not.

Ya Fei knew that Ye Feng was trying to take advantage of her. Even knowing this, Ya Fei felt a little smug. She thought to herself: I still have some charm for Young Master Ye.

Ye Feng may not have known that Ya Fei had secretly developed romantic feelings for him.

Ya Fei had once asked herself why she had developed feelings for Ye Feng Ye Feng, given that they hadn't known each other for long. Perhaps it was because Ye Feng had first trampled on her dignity by making her massage him; perhaps it was because of Ye Feng care for her, helping Ye Feng, with her mediocre talent, acquire Fire Spirit Body comparable to a Divine-grade Dou Di Bloodline; perhaps it was because Ye Feng had given her the Sixth Order magical beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King; perhaps it was because Ye Feng was sometimes mischievous, making her give him a full-body massage, leaving no corner untouched... In short, due to Ye Feng Ye Feng's recent actions, his voice had been imprinted on Ya Fei's heart. She had fallen for Ye Feng.

Ya Fei did not refuse Ye Feng's embrace; instead, her heart raced, and she reached out to hug Ye Feng's waist.

Ye Feng looked at Ya Fei. At this moment, how was his and Ya Fei's behavior any different from that of lovers embracing?

Ya Fei noticed Ye Feng's gaze, and her purplish-red face returned to its normal blood red. Her long, alluring eyelashes blinked boldly, radiating charm, as she explained seductively, "Young Master Ye, this way I can feel warmer."

On the other side, a thin, dark blue energy snake pattern appeared on Hai Bo Dong's face. Unlike the initial snake pattern, under Ye Feng's continuous attacks, the energy snake pattern had developed numerous cracks.

With a pop, it was as if some kind of shackle within Hai Bo Dong's body had shattered. The snake pattern shattered and vanished without a trace. The energy suppressed by the snake pattern burst forth, and a ferocious aura, like a lion awakening, surged from Hai Bo Dong's body.

Under this powerful force, the Ancient Map shop's building was shattered into piles of ice shards. The surrounding shops along the street were also covered with a thin layer of ice crystals. Pedestrians on the street shivered incessantly.

Ya Fei suddenly realized and blurted out, "Young Master Ye, were you helping him just now?"

"Um."

Ye Feng gave a curt "hmm".

"Violence can break the seal?" Ya Fei asked incredulously.

"Sure."

"Could you give me some pointers?"

"The reason why seals can seal a person's cultivation is related to the body's meridians. Any Sealing Technique is related to the body's Meridian Diagram. Some pills can break through the body's seals because those pills have some unique energy. Pills are refined from many medicinal materials and have unique effects. Some pills that break seals even contain the mysteries of mountains and rivers. It is by relying on the mysteries contained in the pills that the seals can be broken. Since pills can do it, then as long as a person's power contains the key to breaking the seal, they can also use violent means to break the seal." Ye Feng answered Ya Fei's question in detail.

"Young Master Ye, what you're saying is too difficult to understand. With my current level of understanding, I can't grasp its true meaning." Ya Fei seemed to understand but not quite, wanting Ye Feng to explain further. However, when she looked up at Ye Feng up close, she found Ye Feng deep in thought and asked curiously, "Young Master Ye, what's wrong?"

"A mystery?"

Ye Feng spoke softly, as if talking to himself. "It seems like something was just touched."

"Things? What things?" Ya Fei asked curiously.

"I don't know. It's like I've found a door, but when I try to grasp it, I can't quite grasp its existence," Ye Feng said.

"Young Master Ye, I don't understand what you're saying. You're already so amazing, how could you possibly become even more amazing?" Ya Fei asked.

Ye Feng looked down at Ya Fei Ya Fei, without answering her question. He was already Creation God in the Douluo Plane, but in the Doupo Plane, his "Dou Qi" realm was only Dou Zun. Moreover, even above Dou Di, there were even more powerful realms.

Ye Feng was a transmigrator. He knew that this world contained countless worlds. The Doupo Plane was merely a higher-level world; above it lay the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Above the Three Thousand Great Worlds, there were even higher-level worlds. Likewise, there would be even stronger beings there.

Ye Feng felt a cold gaze fixed on him. He looked back at the other person, their eyes meeting. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became slightly tense.

After the seal within Hai Bo Dong's body was broken, his aura became even more fierce and domineering. Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the ten most powerful figures in the Gamma Empire, has returned.

The Ice Emperor of yesteryear was cold and domineering; no one had ever dared to forcibly take anything from him. Ye Feng, however, broke that taboo.

"Continue?" Ye Feng asked.

Although Ye Feng only said two words briefly, his calm tone made Ice Emperor Hai Bodong dare not have the idea of seizing the fragment of the map.

Hai Bo Dong narrowed his eyes, smiled, clasped his hands in thanks to Ye Feng, and said, "Thank you, young brother, for helping me lift Queen Medusa's curse."

"You don't need to thank me. I only helped you because of my maid." Ye Feng spread his arms. As he withdrew his hand from Ya Fei's slender waist, it accidentally brushed against Ya Fei's buttocks.

"Ah?"

Ya Fei's eyes widened, her gaze blank.

Did Ye Feng take advantage of her just now?

Ye Feng: "..."

Ye Feng was also stunned.

What just happened was all a misunderstanding. He wanted to let go of Ya Fei, Ya Fei wanted to break free from his embrace. Their simultaneous actions led to the misunderstanding.

Since the advantage had already been gained, any explanation would only be a cover-up. Ye Feng's gaze was fixed on Hai Bo Dong; he offered no explanation to Ya Fei. An explanation would only be a cover-up.
