Linghua is Family to Me!

Dai Mubai looked at Chen Feng, secretly astonished; he had not expected that Chen Feng could actually injure him.

"Good lad, to be able to wound me as a mere Soul Grand Master, you have enough to be proud of. However, do you think that is all a Soul Elder is capable of?"

At that moment, Dai Mubai let out a cold sneer, and his evil eyes suddenly turned white. Of the three soul rings on his body, the first one erupted with brilliant light, forming a white barrier of light.

Immediately following, his second soul ring lit up. A massive amount of white light condensed in an instant, and accompanied by a tiger's roar from Dai Mubai, a milky-white ball of light was spat out from his mouth.

The skills attached to Dai Mubai's first two soul rings were the White Tiger Protection Barrier and the White Tiger Intense Light Wave. Launched simultaneously, they displayed terrifying power.

Dai Mubai charged at Chen Feng in an instant. Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately unleashed his first soul skill—Falling Clear Autumn!

In the next moment, Chen Feng's movement technique became ethereal and unpredictable, like mercury spilling onto the ground. As his figure swayed, he transformed into several phantoms, rendering Dai Mubai's attacks completely ineffective.

The White Tiger Intense Light Wave danced around his body, but whenever the attack struck near Chen Feng, it was blocked by a soft, viscous force, unable to harm Chen Feng's actual body.

Dai Mubai roared in anger, stepped forward, and charged directly at Chen Feng, forcefully pushing against the defense of Falling Clear Autumn.

Chen Feng slashed out with his sword, and the Frost Snow Sword instantly emitted a terrifying chill; wherever the sword light passed, a layer of ice crystals rapidly formed on the ground.

Dai Mubai was instantly frozen by Chen Feng, and frost began to congeal all over his body.

However, just at this moment, Dai Mubai suddenly looked up and roared, and a massive phantom of a white tiger bloomed from his body.

"Third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

His body, already robust from the White Tiger martial soul possession, expanded once more. His muscles bulged exaggeratedly, bursting his upper garments to reveal a terrifying muscular silhouette. Most bizarrely, black horizontal stripes appeared all over his skin; if not for the lack of fur, it would be no different from a tiger's hide.

His pair of tiger palms grew another size larger, and the sharp blades protruding from them turned a bright silver. Most uniquely, his entire body was shrouded in a layer of intense golden light, as if he had been plated in gold. His blood-red eyes revealed a bloodthirsty glint, and his entire being exuded the domineering aura of a king among beasts.

The white halo expanded, instantly enveloping his body. The ice layer shattered, and his right leg slammed into the ground, using the power of the White Tiger to propel his body sliding backward.

With a thunderous boom, the Frost Snow Sword of Falling Clear Autumn struck the spot where he had previously stood, sending ice shards flying.

And just at this moment, Chen Feng's second soul skill also struck toward Dai Mubai.

"One Sword Shakes the Eight Wilds!"

Chen Feng let out a cold shout. The next moment, the terrifying light of the Frost Snow Sword surged, transforming into a sheet of icy breath that swept toward Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly; having just unleashed the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he had no way to dodge.

His body crashed straight into the terrifying icy breath, and instantly, he was enveloped by the chilling cold.

The next instant, a series of piercing shrieks erupted from Dai Mubai's body. He was sent flying by the impact and slammed heavily into a table, shattering it into pieces and scattering the food and wine beneath it across the floor.

"Damn it, damn it..." A fierce, vicious light flickered in Dai Mubai's eyes. He never imagined he would be beaten like this by a Soul Grand Master, which filled him with deep humiliation.

At this moment, the two twins were utterly shocked.

Young Master Dai was a Soul Elder, yet he had been defeated by a Soul Grand Master—how could this be possible?

The surrounding passersby also looked at Chen Feng with immense surprise, finding it hard to believe.

Chen Feng looked at Dai Mubai with cold eyes and said, "Well? Are we still fighting?"

At this time, the two twin girls hurriedly went up to help Dai Mubai to his feet. People from all around gathered, and seeing Dai Mubai in such a disheveled state, they began to point and whisper.

Dai Mubai's face flushed red. He, the dignified Young Master Dai of Suotuo City, had actually been defeated by a Soul Grand Master.

If this were to spread, he would surely become the laughingstock of Suotuo City.

At this moment, the twin girls immediately asked, "Young Master Dai, are you alright?"

Dai Mubai snorted, "Hmph, let's go!"

Dai Mubai let out a cold huff and turned to leave. He had lost all face today; there was no way he could stay any longer.

After Dai Mubai left, Kamisato Ayaka immediately walked over to Chen Feng's side and asked, "Chen Feng, are... are you alright?"

Chen Feng smiled and looked at Kamisato Ayaka, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Disturbed by Dai Mubai, Chen Feng and Ayaka no longer had the mood to eat. Chen Feng looked at Ayaka and said, "Ayaka, it's getting late. Let's find a hotel to stay in!"

Kamisato nodded slightly, and then followed Chen Feng as they went to find a hotel.

Chen Feng arrived at a hotel and said, "Give us two rooms!"

The waiter immediately replied, "I'm sorry, we only have one room left."

"One?" Chen Feng frowned slightly.

"Well, our room is actually quite large; it should be fine for two people," the waiter said, looking at Chen Feng and Ayaka with a suggestive tone.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then give us that one."

At this, Kamisato did not refuse, though her pretty face suddenly flushed red as she bit her lip.

Following that, Chen Feng and Kamisato entered the room.

The room was indeed quite large. The spacious area was furnished with exquisite furniture, and the overall style was elegant and refined. On one side was a massive rosewood bed covered with delicate embroidered bedding, and a simple, ancient landscape painting hung at the head of the bed, outlining a scene of peace and tranquility.

On the opposite wall hung an ancient painting where mountains and water reflected each other, the ink washes revealing a faint sense of Zen.

In the center of the room was an antique rosewood tea table set with exquisite tea utensils, surrounded by several rosewood chairs, as if waiting for the host and guest to enjoy a cup of clear tea together.

In the corner stood a lush bonsai, its green leaves dancing gracefully as if performing a vibrant dance of life. Light spilled into the room through the window, warm and soft, illuminating the entire space and filling the room with an atmosphere of peace and serenity.

Chen Feng looked at the room and was quite satisfied.

Immediately, Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "How about this, Ayaka, you sleep on the bed, and I'll just sit wherever."

"How could that be?" Ayaka said immediately.

She looked at Chen Feng and said, "I am merely the Traveler's attendant; no matter how the Traveler treats me, I cannot disobey the Traveler's orders. So... so, the Traveler does not need to be so kind to me."

Hearing Ayaka's words, Chen Feng smiled faintly and said, "Silly girl, I have never once treated you as an attendant. To me, you are more like family!"

"Family." Ayaka murmured, her pretty face instantly flushing red.
