Coins

Lin Feng was originally prepared to stand by and watch. After all, he paid a commission and was the person receiving protection. He had no obligation to take action when encountering robbers. ♦👺  💚♖But this McKinley, who wanted to die, actually turned on his intended wife, so his death was not considered unjust.

The Black Obsidian Heavy Sword struck McKinley, and McKinley's body, from head to toe, instantly turned into a bloody pulp. The bandits, the mercenary group, and even Jenny, Keane, and the others all stared in disbelief at this scene.

"Those small fry are yours to handle." Lin Feng sheathed his sword and calmly said to the bearded "Malone".

Under the glow of the campfire, everyone's faces were sometimes in shadow and sometimes in light. The bloody stench of the War-Knife still lingered, but the two groups that had just been War-Knife were now staring blankly at the mangled corpses, and then at Lin Feng carrying the Black Obsidian Heavy Sword.

An eighth-level expert was killed with a single sword strike.

Incredible!

"Brothers, charge! Kill these bandits!" Bearded Malone was the first to react, shouting excitedly, "Kill these bastards and avenge our fallen brothers!"

Hearing the shouts of bearded Malone, the bandits snapped back to reality. Their leader, One-Eyed Snake McKinley, had been killed with a single sword strike. Forget the mercenary guards; the man carrying the heavy sword alone could have wiped them all out.

"Revenge! Revenge! Kill!" The mercenary guards' eyes gleamed, their morale soaring. They charged forward, weapons in hand.

"Run!"

The bandits shouted and fled for their lives, each one running for their lives. The archers among the mercenary guards immediately drew their bows, coldly watching the fleeing figures. Arrows flew out at lightning Extreme Speed, and with a series of thuds, six bandits were pierced by the arrows and fell to the ground.

The remaining seventy-odd people disappeared into the darkness in the distance in the blink of an eye.

The mercenary guards did not give chase; they only pursued for about a hundred meters before retreating, as their mission was to protect the convoy.

"Call!"

The merchants and pedestrians in the convoy all breathed a sigh of relief. The mercenary guards, however, looked grim. They went to collect the bodies of the dozen or so dead mercenaries.

"Everyone, continue to rest," Malone announced loudly.

Lin Feng looked at the dozen or so dead mercenaries without feeling anything. Everyone has their own Fate, and if you choose the path of a mercenary, you must be prepared to be killed at any time.

At this point, many of the mercenary guards were also injured and needed proper treatment. The hundreds of people in the convoy quieted down and returned to their respective places. People who travel frequently often encounter such things and are not surprised by them.

One after another, bonfires were lit. The bodies of a dozen or so mercenaries were buried by the others in the desolate ground beside the road. Mercenaries who made a living on the edge of a knife could die at any time, and once they died, their bodies were buried on the spot. Other mercenary team members would at most take some of their belongings back with them.

Lin Feng, carrying a heavy sword, leaned against a large tree by the roadside and quietly watched the mercenaries.

"Lord Feng!" Many merchants in the caravan ran over to express their gratitude to Lin Feng. Some even offered him gold coins as a token of appreciation, but Lin Feng Lin Feng them all. "Brothers, farewell!" Malone roared.

All the mercenaries stood before the graves and bowed deeply in unison. Death was commonplace among mercenaries. They immediately returned to their posts.

The mercenary group's leader, the bearded Malone, led Lanz and Lude towards Lin Feng, saying gratefully, "Lord Feng, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, our mercenary group..." Malone shook his head.

"Brother Feng, you saved our mercenary group this time," the young Lude said gratefully.

Both the previous warnings and the final intervention saved their mercenary group.

"No need," Lin Feng said with a faint smile.

"Lord Feng, this is ten thousand gold coins." Malone took out a Magic Crystal Card from his pocket. "This Magic Crystal Card is anonymous and contains ten thousand gold coins. Lord Feng, you must accept it. If it weren't for you this time, our entire mercenary group wouldn't have been able to complete the mission, let alone survive."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Feng, please accept it," Lanz immediately urged. Most mercenaries are very generous and chivalrous. These mercenaries, who walk on the edge of life and death every day, value loyalty and Ende exceptionally highly.

"Do I look like someone who lacks money?" Lin Feng asked, looking at the three men.

Lin Feng's Space Ring contained a total of twenty-two Magic Crystal Card, each worth one hundred million gold coins. Twenty-two billion gold coins—this enormous sum was something even the Dawson Chamber of Commerce couldn't easily come up with.

Some families in the four great empires are powerful and adept at making money. But no matter how powerful they are, they can't match the wealth-making prowess of the royal family of a single kingdom.

After all, some of the most powerful families in the four great empires still had to pay a large amount of money to the emperor.

The Fenlai Kingdom has far greater autonomy compared to those large families. Its wealth, accumulated over thousands of years, has reached an astonishing level.

Malone heard Lin Feng say this, he paused for a moment but did not insist. He dared not argue with a strong person like Lin Feng, and besides, mercenaries did not earn money easily.

"Chief Malone, go and take care of your mercenaries. I see many of them are seriously injured," Lin Feng said.

That's what he said, but Lin Feng had no intention of using light magic to heal these injured mercenaries.

We were just strangers who met by chance, not related by blood or marriage, so there was no need for us to open up to each other.

"Then please rest, Lord Feng. I'll take my leave now," Malone said respectfully. Strong people are respected everywhere.

With the campfire burning, most of the people in the convoy couldn't sleep. They gathered around the fire, and apart from a few who were asleep, the others were talking about the battle they had just fought. Every now and then, many people would turn their gazes to Lin Feng, clearly indicating that Lin Feng was the subject of their discussions.

Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged at this moment, feeling the vast and profound earth, feeling the wind that filled the sky and earth, feeling the loneliness of the darkness and the constantly flickering campfire in the distance.

After three years of training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Lin Feng had gained a deeper understanding of the path of cultivation. Whether it was the cultivation of a warrior or a mage, ultimately, one had to comprehend nature.

The Tao follows the way of nature; nature is the mother of all things.

"Grandpa Doehring once said that life is the best teacher, but I believe that nature is the best teacher." Lin Feng murmured to himself, looking down at the Coiling Dragon Ring on his finger, thinking of Grandpa Doehring had been in seclusion for a long time, and the scenes of his time with Grandpa Doehring.

"Grandpa Doehring should be about to break through to godhood soon!"

Lin Feng's greatest satisfaction was changing Grandpa Doehring's Fate and preventing his soul from dissipating.

From the original book, Lin Feng knew that once a soul dissipates, even those who reach the level of a universe Controller cannot revive it. This was also a perpetual pain in Lin Feng's heart in the original book.

The people in the convoy whispered about Lin Feng, but Lin Feng remained calm and continued cultivating as if nothing had happened.

Although this part of the story is somewhat dull, it represents a crucial stage in the development of Lin Feng and Jenny's relationship and cannot be omitted. Of course, some brief elaboration is necessary; it's impossible to stretch it into a dozen chapters like in the original novel before reaching Chier Prefecture City.

Regarding the question about the female lead, I'll explain it here.

The first female lead is naturally Dilia, the second female lead is Jenny, and the third female lead is yet to be determined!
