I Came at the Wrong Time? No, You Came at Exactly the Right Time

In a hotel within the Sun Moon Empire, Lin Feng slowly let out a breath of foul air.

"Phew, I've finally recovered. That level ninety-eight psychic Titled Douluo was truly terrifying. Even in my Martial Soul Avatar state, after withstanding a single wave of his mental attack, I needed a full two and a half hours of meditation to recover completely. Luckily, this was a Million-Year Soul Ring. Otherwise, it would have been hard to say who would have won this time."

Lin Feng shook his head, deeply grateful that he had placed Tian Meng's soul ring in the position of his seventh soul ring. Under the Martial Soul Avatar granted by that million-year seventh soul ring, Lin Feng's spiritual power had even reached the Divine Origin Realm.

It was precisely because of that Divine Origin Realm spiritual power that the level ninety-eight Nightmare Douluo had been killed so swiftly, without even causing so much as a ripple.

Had he not been a psychic Titled Douluo, even if that person had possessed only level ninety-five Soul Power, Lin Feng's battle with him would not have been so quiet.

"Another six soul bones. If I'd known, there would have been no need to buy Meng Yiran's soul bone."

Lin Feng checked the soul bone reserves inside his Soul Tool. As a level ninety-eight Titled Douluo, Nightmare Douluo had already equipped all six soul bones, and none of them was below fifty thousand years. His skull bone in particular had reached the hundred-thousand-year level. Considering his soul ring configuration, that soul bone should have come from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast he had hunted for his ninth soul ring.

Aside from those six soul bones and the soul bone obtained after hunting the Golden Hawksbill Turtle for its soul ring, Lin Feng also possessed seventeen exceptionally high-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.

They had been contributed by Shrek's ten deceased students.

That was right. Saving people could not be done for free. Lin Feng had very naturally taken the soul bones from those ten Shrek students.

And those people truly deserved to be called Shrek's elite students. Each of them had one or two soul bones over thirty thousand years old. Ten people had yielded a total of seventeen soul bones. Such a thing would have been unimaginable in any era other than Dou Er. Only the Dou Er timeline had so many soul bones available to obtain.

"What should I do with this pile of soul bones?" Looking at the enormous number of soul bones, each of which would have been considered top-tier by countless people, Lin Feng found himself troubled over whom to give them to.

Just as Lin Feng was wondering what to do with the soul bones, a knock sounded at his door, interrupting his thoughts.

After briefly sensing the aura outside, a wisp of breeze flowed past Lin Feng's fingertips. The breeze then turned into threads of wind and opened the room's door.

"What is it, Miss Ruoruo?"

Seeing Han Ruoruo enter, Lin Feng asked calmly.

Han Ruoruo looked at Lin Feng and hesitantly spoke. "Lin Feng, you..."

"Will you leave once we return to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

Lin Feng nodded. "I have other matters to handle afterward. It would not be convenient to have someone by my side then."

Hearing this, Han Ruoruo fell silent for a moment before finally stepping forward and embracing Lin Feng.

"What's wrong, Miss Ruoruo?" Lin Feng was stunned by Han Ruoruo's sudden embrace and did not understand what had happened.

Han Ruoruo said nothing. She merely hugged Lin Feng tighter. Feeling a certain warm softness against him, Lin Feng did not rush to question her and simply allowed her to hold him.

Only after a long while did Han Ruoruo finally release Lin Feng.

After Han Ruoruo let go, Lin Feng poured her a cup of tea. "So, what exactly happened?"

Upon hearing that, Han Ruoruo, who had only just relaxed somewhat, became uneasy again. Holding the teacup in both hands, she fell silent for a time.

After a long while, Han Ruoruo finally raised her head. "Lin Feng, is there someone you like?"

"No."

Lin Feng's exceptionally swift reply made Han Ruoruo's heart sink halfway, yet it also immediately gave rise to a measure of hope.

Not liking anyone meant Lin Feng did not like her, but it also meant he did not like anyone else. With that thought, Han Ruoruo slowly began to speak.

"Lin Feng, do you know? During that soul hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest, I thought that would be the only life-or-death crisis I would ever encounter. Yet not long ago, Nightmare Douluo's soul skill made me see that scene again. There, no one could even come to save me."

"I'm sorry. I was careless then. I never expected a level ninety-eight Titled Douluo to launch a sneak attack, so I did not anticipate such a situation in time."

Han Ruoruo shook her head. "It wasn't your fault. If not for you, Lexuan and I would already have died in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"When we faced that hundred-thousand-year banyan tree and that sixty-thousand-year Nether Poison Wolf in the Star Dou Great Forest, I regretted some things. On one hand, I regretted trusting Elder Xuan. On the other, I regretted that after all these years, I had never even held a man's hand."

"When I was on the verge of death, I realized that aside from cultivation, I seemed never to have done anything else in my life. It was as though the sole purpose of my life was to cultivate, reach a certain realm, and then die at the jaws of a soul beast."

Listening to Han Ruoruo's confession, Lin Feng patted her shoulder. "Relax. Since we're alive, we should enjoy life while we can. You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. Rather than worry about accidents all day, it's better to live today well and try not to leave yourself with regrets."

Listening to Lin Feng's comfort, Han Ruoruo looked at him. "Is that how you live?"

Lin Feng nodded. "Of course. Good food, beautiful women, a better living environment, doing as much as possible of what I want to do, and not leaving myself with regrets. That has always been how I live."

"Good food, beautiful women? Do you have many wives and concubines?" Han Ruoruo frowned, but after frowning, she seemed to think of something, and a trace of hope appeared in her eyes.

Lin Feng shook his head. "Not many at the moment. After all, my age is what it is, and my strength was indeed limited before. Go back a few months, and I only had the strength of an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo. My current strength surged because I encountered a fortuitous opportunity some time ago. I was able to defeat Nightmare Douluo so quickly because his abilities happened to be countered by mine. Otherwise, level ninety-eight would truly have been difficult for me to handle."

Hearing that Lin Feng did not yet have many wives and concubines, Han Ruoruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She then gently brushed back her hair and said nervously, "Good food, beautiful women... would it be convenient to add one more woman? My looks should be decent, right?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Han Ruoruo's suddenly changed tone, Lin Feng was taken aback. He had not expected her to say such a thing.

"I had such thoughts back when you saved me in the Star Dou Great Forest. It was just that I knew the gap between us then, so I did not dare say it. But since you want many wives and concubines, then surely I can be a concubine!"

Han Ruoruo spoke nervously. She had originally assumed that she might never see Lin Feng again in the future and only wanted to confess at the very end. She had not expected to succeed, because compared to Lin Feng's talent, she was completely ordinary.

But when Lin Feng himself wanted three wives and four concubines, Han Ruoruo felt that perhaps she did not have no chance at all.

Lin Feng did not speak. He merely silently pulled Han Ruoruo into his arms.

Just as Han Ruoruo was held in Lin Feng's embrace, Zhang Lexuan suddenly entered Lin Feng's room while the door had not been fully shut.

Then Zhang Lexuan saw Lin Feng holding Han Ruoruo in his arms.

Seeing Han Ruoruo embraced by Lin Feng, Zhang Lexuan's gaze dimmed slightly. "Sorry, I came at the wrong time."

"No, you came at exactly the right time."
