"Ah?"
Tai Tan was stunned by Lin Feng's words. And not just him—even Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager had not expected Lin Feng to say such a thing.
"Tsk, old ape, you old fellow sure are lucky to have earned the Venerable Lord's favor."
Dragon Duke praised him, while also easing up slightly on his attacks against Tai Tan. After all, they would be colleagues in the future. Tai Tan, a Spirit Douluo, might even be elevated to the level of a Titled Douluo someday, so Dragon Duke did not want to sour their relationship too much.

Tai Tan had lost his head earlier because he had watched Tang Hao die so completely that not even his corpse
