"Cluck, cluck, cluck...!"
A horse-drawn carriage was traveling along a dirt road.
Underworld Thunder Douluo and Nightmare Douluo sat up front, driving the carriage as they chatted through voice transmission.
"Ugh, when that Ferocious Beast wakes up, won't she come after us for revenge?"
"Worst case, we run. Besides, Di Tian grievously wounded her, so she can't do anything to us."
As they spoke, both of them felt a chill run down their spines.
They were Evil Soul Masters, and even they knew how to turn on someone without batting an eye.
Compared to Di Tian's savagery, they were nothing but little white rabbits!
"I'm curious, though. Just who is Liu Feng? When I went to see Zi JI, she turned on me because of something that child said..."
Even now, Underworld Thunder Douluo was still resentful when he brought it up.
A dignified Titled Douluo had been treated like that. He was absolutely seething.
Even someone as powerful as Di Tian couldn't possibly act so wilfully, could he?
Nightmare Douluo sighed. "Remember that child. From now on, don't ever offend him. Otherwise, I'm afraid even the Cult Master might not be able to protect us."
Underworld Thunder Douluo nodded stiffly, deeply agreeing.
To vent Liu Feng's anger, Di Tian had even dealt harshly with one of his own.
If they ended up in his crosshairs, they'd probably have their skin flayed off!
"Xiao Feng...!!!"
A cry of surprise suddenly rang out from behind them.
The two men leaped out of the carriage almost without thinking and retreated about a hundred meters.
Inside the iron cage, Zi JI sat up. Pain flared across her back, twisting her expression.
But she paid no attention to it. Grabbing the bars of the cage, she stared fixedly at Underworld Thunder Douluo and Nightmare Douluo with her vertical pupils.
"Where did you take Xiao Feng?!"
"Speak!!!"
Zi JI gripped the bars with both hands and wrenched apart the iron rails, forged from refined steel.
The effort made her back split open, and blood burst from the wound.
Under the threat of her killing intent, Underworld Thunder Douluo, his face hidden behind a mask, was struck speechless.
He glanced at Nightmare Douluo beside him, motioning for him to answer.
"..."
Nightmare Douluo was at a loss for words. He took a deep breath and replied in a trembling voice:
"You don't need to worry about his safety. You, on the other hand, have already been sold to us by him! From now on, you're our slave!"
"..."
Zi JI breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liu Feng was all right, that was what mattered.
Then, an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.
At first, she hadn't thought there was anything wrong with "selling" Liu Feng.
She could guarantee his safety completely, and they'd made an agreement.
She had even given Liu Feng one of her Reverse Scales.
As long as Liu Feng suffered an injury that endangered his life, it would automatically activate to protect him.
So she'd thought there was no chance anything could go wrong!
But now, a strange ache filled her heart. She was beginning to understand Liu Feng's feelings.
Being sold by family was a completely different feeling from being sold by an outsider.
She could only blame herself for seeing nothing but money at the time. She hadn't even waited to discuss it with Liu Feng before making the decision on her own.
Underworld Thunder Douluo and Nightmare Douluo watched Zi JI nervously, edging backward in secret.
Zi JI suddenly turned into a streak of purple light, shooting into the sky and heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief. "At last, we've sent that walking disaster on her way..."
Di Tian brought Liu Feng back to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Beside the Lake of Life, several Ferocious Beasts were "playing soccer." It was a bizarre sight.
On closer inspection, the "soccer ball" was golden—it was Golden Hawksbill!
Scarlet King kicked it high into the air, sending it spinning.
Ten Thousand Demon King plucked a branch and whacked it back down from above.
Xiong Jun leaped into the air and slammed it with his broad chest, sending it flying toward Demon Spirit.
Golden Hawksbill had withdrawn entirely into its shell, shouting for mercy.
"Liu Feng...!!!"
A delighted cry rang out.
At the same time, a streak of golden light shot over from beneath the tree house.
It was Three-Eyed Golden Lion, shrunk down to a smaller size!
She pounced on Liu Feng almost instantly. He hadn't even had time to react.
His face, neck, and everywhere else were soon soaked.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion, still in her shrunken form, stood on his chest.
Her big, round eyes brimmed with joy and excitement.
"Roar...!"
Scorpion Tiger came running over too, squinting its tiger eyes as it tried to get close. Three-Eyed Golden Lion swatted it away with her tail.
Liu Feng came back to his senses and grinned.
He hugged Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Her fluffy, warm fur felt wonderful!
It made him feel completely at ease, too.
There really was no place like home!
Three-Eyed Golden Lion snuggled comfortably against Liu Feng, eyes narrowed in contentment.
Bi Ji came over, watching them with a smile.
"Xiao Feng, while you were away these past two days, the Auspicious Beast hasn't slept at all. She's made quite a mess of the fish in the Lake of Life."
Liu Feng smiled, hearing the concern in Bi Ji's words.
How would Bi Ji know that Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't sleep unless she'd been keeping an eye on her?
"That wicked Zi JI! When she gets back, I'm going to tear her apart!"
Three-Eyed Golden Lion said viciously.
As far as she was concerned, Zi JI had now become even more detestable than the Streamer Peacock!
Liu Feng's smile stiffened a little. Right, what was happening with Zi JI now?
He showed nothing on his face, but he couldn't help feeling worried.
Zi JI was reckless and wilful, but he couldn't forget how she'd made Underworld Thunder Douluo get lost just because of something he'd said.
It was like a child telling a relative, "I don't like that smoking coworker who came over."
What relative would immediately turn against their coworker and kick them out?
Most would turn around and scold the child for being rude.
But Zi JI could do that. She loved and hated without reservation. If someone she cared about disliked something, she wouldn't let it off easy.
The more Liu Feng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Now that he saw Three-Eyed Golden Lion brimming with hostility toward Zi JI, he gave a dry cough and didn't tell her that Zi JI had sold him.
"Then... let's go raid her place! We'll snatch all her treasures!"
"!!!"
Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eyes flew open. She stared at Liu Feng in shock.
Then she lowered her head and whispered into Liu Feng's ear:
"Liu Feng, don't let that wicked dragon mother hear you say that. She'll go crazy!"
"She'd even dare to provoke Di Tian over those treasures!"
"If she finds out, she'll fly into a rage and beat us up!"
Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a little guilty. Those treasures were Zi JI's "tiger whiskers," and even she wasn't keen on touching them!
"We're going to raid every last one of her treasures!"
Liu Feng smiled and said seriously.
Three-Eyed Golden Lion ground her teeth, then nodded too, saying angrily:
"I'll go with you! Liu Feng!"
At that moment, Golden Hawksbill, who was being tossed around like a ball in the distance, hurriedly called out.
"Sir... take me with you! I'm the best at spotting treasures! I guarantee not a single gold coin will escape! Please save me! I'm going to be sick—urgh..."
Golden Hawksbill shouted for help.
Liu Feng looked over. "All right! Scarlet King, it won't run away again, will it?"
Scarlet King clamped Golden Hawksbill in his jaws and carried it over, explaining as he came.
"Don't worry, Liu Feng. This old turtle is clever. It knows we won't kill it, so even if we beat it to death, it still won't leave."
