Men, There Are Men

Moon God Palace.

Ever since Qin Feng officially joined, all the young ladies had gone crazy.

A man!!

There was a man in Moon God Palace!!

"Why do I feel like they're more excited than I am!?"

Qin Feng felt as if he'd stumbled into Pansidong. Every night before bed, he had to check again and again that the door was locked.

"Yaah~~"

Xiao Bai leaped onto Qin Feng's shoulder and rubbed its head against him like a kitten.

The meaning was crystal clear: it was time to eat.

"Even a rich landlord's family can't afford to feed you like this!"

Qin Feng helplessly took out a small pouch. There was only one Blood Bodhi left inside. Once Xiao Bai ate it, he'd have to spend his own money to buy more—or search for them in the forests out in the wild.

But the wild forests belonged to demonic beasts. Even Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were guarded by powerful beasts, making them incredibly difficult to obtain.

The system suddenly spoke: "Host, you can exchange Villain Points for Spirit Pet feed!"

Spirit Pet Carrot: Feed exclusive to rabbit-type Spirit Pets. Long-term use can increase all attributes. Exchange price: 10 Villain Points.

"One carrot costs 10 points!?"

Qin Feng cursed the system as a black-hearted shop. It was practically robbing him.

His White Rice Bucket ate at least four or five carrots a day—that was forty or fifty points. Four or five hundred points every ten days, four or five thousand every hundred days, and twenty thousand or so a year. He'd never even treated his own parents that well.

"Things aren't like they used to be. Until I find my next victim—cough, Son of Heaven—I'll have to make those Villain Points last!"

Qin Feng opened the system. He currently had 692,500 Villain Points.

Since he hadn't reached one million, he couldn't exchange for one hundred percent compatibility and raise his other Martial Skills to one hundred percent compatibility.

But spending 30,000 points a month on a Hundredfold Insight Halo was no problem. He had enough to keep it up for a year or two.

"I hope I run into a Son of Heaven sometime in the next year or two!"

Qin Feng snatched the last Blood Bodhi from Xiao Bai's mouth and tossed it a carrot he'd exchanged from the system for 10 Villain Points.

"I, My Rabbit, d-don't want to eat this..."

Xiao Bai was so furious that it actually spoke aloud.

Sure, the carrot was edible, but it clearly wasn't in the same league as a Blood Bodhi. It was like dog food—how could that compare to a slab of ribs?

"It's not good for a kid to be picky. You've probably just been spoiled!"

Qin Feng held the Changkong Divine Sword to Xiao Bai's neck. The little guy hurriedly gobbled down the carrot, chomping away until not a scrap was left—not even the leaves.

"Good!"

Qin Feng put away the Changkong Divine Sword with satisfaction and swallowed the last Blood Bodhi in one gulp.

Rumble!!

Qin Feng's body jolted violently. He hurriedly sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a state of cultivation. The energy released by the Blood Bodhi surged through his body like a bursting river, pouring into his flesh and blood with unstoppable force.

"Yaah~~"

Xiao Bai cried out in grievance and waved its hand, bringing out the Sage Bamboo Scroll.

It was a separate Personal Space it had been born with. Hugging the Sage Bamboo Scroll, it went to sleep beside Qin Feng.

Heavenly Heart City.

After enduring countless hardships, Lin San had finally returned safely. He'd also brought back a complete account of what Qin Feng was like.

"Sword Intent, Sword Heart, Supreme Bone, Double Pupils, and even a self-created God-level Cultivation Technique and Sword Skill!!"

After hearing the report, City Lord Lin Hao beat his breast, overwhelmed by regret.

If he'd chosen Qin Feng as his Son-in-law back then, wouldn't Qin Feng have come straight into his arms, given how the Qin family had driven him into a corner?

But it was too late now. Moon God had already taken Qin Feng back to the Yin Moon Dynasty.

And the Son-in-law he'd originally had his eye on, Qin Hao, had been crippled after his Supreme Bone was dug out. He'd also heard that Qin Tian had been stripped of his position as family head. The whole family was living in misery.

"I married off my daughter for the benefits. How am I supposed to marry her off now!?"

Lin Hao was in agony. He wanted to break off the engagement, but didn't dare.

The Qin family was, after all, the Number One Clan of the Ancient Wasteland. Breaking off the engagement in person would be tantamount to slapping the Qin family in the face. For great clans, their reputation mattered more than their lives; the wrong move could spark an all-out war.

But he was just as unwilling to marry his daughter to a cripple!

Time flew by.

Seven years passed.

Over those seven years, one Heavenly Pride after another had emerged, and the competition had grown fiercer by the day. The talents they displayed were terrifyingly powerful.

The records Qin Feng had set—breaking through to the Transcendent Realm at eight and comprehending Sword Intent, among others—had been broken one after another by numerous Heavenly Prides.

Ever since being appointed God's Son of Moon God Palace seven years ago, Qin Feng had kept a low profile and rarely shown himself in public. There hadn't been a single report of him fighting.

But the Sword Intent, Sword Heart, Supreme Bone, Double Pupils, and other abilities he'd displayed in the Great Xia Royal Family had shocked the entire Ancient Wasteland. People had hailed him as the Archaic Era's Number One Heavenly Pride.

Even after seven years without showing his face, no one could shake his title as the Archaic Era's Number One Heavenly Pride.

At that moment—

In the back hills of Moon God Palace.

A massive waterfall poured down like a silver river.

A handsome young man with clear eyes and sharply slanted brows sat bare-chested beneath the falls, a golden dragon tattoo across his body. He cultivated beneath the crashing torrent, letting its white streamers slam into him as deep, muffled thuds echoed all around.

This was Qin Feng, now fifteen years old!

Over the past seven years, his cultivation had only reached the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm. It had taken him over a year to break through each minor level.

It wasn't that he didn't want to advance. He simply couldn't spare the effort.

He hadn't encountered a single Son of Heaven in those seven years. His nearly 700,000 Villain Points had long since run dry, no matter how carefully he'd rationed them.

Now he could only pick on the young ladies of Moon God Palace to earn a meager number of Villain Points and scrape by. It made him miss Lin San more and more; he was practically lovesick.

And with his source of Villain Points gone, his cultivation speed had slowed to a crawl.

On top of that, he had far too many skills. Even with the Hundredfold Insight Halo, developing his Supreme Bone and Double Pupils consumed most of his energy.

His Heavenly Tribulation Light had grown stronger, and aside from its three basic abilities—slowing down speed, breaking down movements, and seeing through to the essence—his Double Pupils had also helped him comprehend the divine light of Yin Yang Two Qi.

Still, although he was only at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, his foundation was rock-solid and he had countless lethal moves. Killing an Entering Dao Realm cultivator was a piece of cake.

Of course, the main reason was that he was an upright and proper Confucian gentleman.

Confucius said: "When the Eight Rows dance in his courtyard, if he can bear that, what can he not bear?" (Note: Sixty-four beauties dancing in the courtyard—sure, you can bear to watch, but who would really want to?)

"Don't shove! Let me have a look!"

A group of young ladies from Moon God Palace were peeking nearby. The moment they saw Qin Feng's abs, they squealed with excitement.

The only man in Moon God Palace had finally grown up!

"Buy a ticket, buy a ticket! Buy one and you can watch a man for five minutes!"

A childish voice rang out. On closer look, it belonged to an adorable white rabbit walking on two legs: Xiao Bai, whom Qin Feng had raised for seven years.

Ever since Qin Feng had fed it carrots seven years ago, Xiao Bai had started raising rabbits of its own so it could get a taste of genuine Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Things hadn't gone smoothly at first. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures weren't easy to come by.

But after years of Qin Feng's guidance, it soon spotted a business opportunity: men were a scarce commodity in Moon God Palace.

So whenever Qin Feng cultivated beneath the waterfall, it sold tickets: one spirit stone for five minutes, same price for young and old.

Of course, Qin Feng didn't show off beneath the waterfall all the time. So Xiao Bai also regularly auctioned off the Used Underwear Qin Feng had worn, to help make ends meet...
