The Clamor and Tranquility of Mount Paozu

At this moment, after Koushirou turned around and bowed deeply to Lin Fan with utmost seriousness, his demeanor exuding the air of a true samurai. "Thank you for saving my life!"

Though his words were brief, his attitude was extremely sincere.

Before Lin Fan could even exchange pleasantries, Koushirou straightened up and invited, "Mr. Lin Fan, why don't you come inside for a cup of hot tea and we can have a proper chat?"

"Sure," Lin Fan naturally agreed.

Seeing that Lin Fan agreed, Koushirou immediately instructed the dojo apprentices to take Kuina to apply medicine to treat her wounds.

Although there's nothing seriously wrong, the cuts and sprains on my calves still need to be taken care of.

Afterwards, Koushirou led Lin Fan and Perona up to the tea room on the second floor.

He busied himself boiling spring water and brewing the best tea in the dojo, respectfully filling the cups for Lin Fan and Perona.

"Mr. Lin Fan, you're quite famous in the Grand Line now, why have you suddenly returned to the East Blue?"

Koushirou picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked with a smile.

"If I said I came back to the East Blue on a whim specifically to spar with you, would you believe me?"

Lin Fan also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and spoke leisurely.

Perona, standing nearby, tried to imitate Lin Fan by drinking tea, but her movements were too exaggerated, and she burned her tongue, sticking out her little tongue and frantically fanning her mouth with her tiny hands, looking incredibly cute.

"Of course I believe you." Koushirou chuckled.

If we don't believe this, what can we believe? Do we believe Lin Fan can predict the future and would travel thousands of miles specifically to save Kuina?

That's even more absurd than Kuina falling down the stairs.

Moreover, Lin Fan is rumored to be a martial arts fanatic, so it wouldn't be surprising if he did something earth-shattering.

"Since my savior has made the request, I naturally have no reason to refuse."

Koushirou gently set down his teacup, a long-lost glint of light flashing in his eyes. "I accept this sparring match."

"However, the dojo is small and it's easy to damage the buildings. Let's go to the bamboo forest behind the mountain."

Koushirou stood up and looked at Lin Fan, offering his gentle advice.

The morning mist drifted slowly across the mountainside of Mount Paozu, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and the fragrance of unnamed wildflowers.

A light rain had fallen last night, and glistening dewdrops still clung to the verdant leaves, shimmering softly in the slanting morning sunlight.

Qin Feng got up early as always.

He was dressed in simple, unpretentious gray casual home clothes, standing under the grape trellis in the yard, stretching.

He had no dazzling battle aura or terrifying, world-destroying pressure around him; he looked like an ordinary young hermit.

However, this seemingly unassuming man recently rewrote the entire universe's landscape single-handedly.

That invincible figure—who sent the Grand Priest flying with a single move, shattered the Grand Zeno and erased the rules with a single Dragon Fist, and crushed the Universe Tree with a single kick—remains the nightmare and supreme faith of all the top gods and powerful beings in the entire universe.

Click.

The wooden door was gently pushed open.

Android 18 stepped out wearing soft-soled house slippers.

She wore a beige knitted cardigan over a soft cotton long dress, and her light golden hair was styled in a bun, with a few stray strands clinging to her slender neck in the wind.

Nourished by the Sacred World of the Kais treasure "Super Origin Divine Marrow," Android 18 now exudes an ethereal purity and gentleness. Her skin is as delicate as jade, and her eyes and brows reveal a sense of composure and contentment with life and love.

"Honey, why are you up so early today?"

Android 18 walked up to Qin Feng with a smile.

Qin Feng naturally reached out and pulled his wife into his arms. He lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of her soft lips, whispering:

"I slept soundly last night listening to the rain, so I woke up a little earlier today. But you, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Android 18 leaned her head against Qin Feng's broad chest, feeling his steady and powerful heartbeat, and smiled contentedly:

"I've gotten used to this time. Just seeing you when I open my eyes every day is much more comfortable than sleeping in."

Qin Feng couldn't help but grin, tightening his arms and holding his wife even closer.

For Qin Feng, what did it matter if he was the supreme ruler of the Sacred World of the Kais or the master of the Twelve Universes? None of that mattered as much as the soft whispers of the woman in his arms. He had exhausted all his efforts to conquer the heavens and crush the Demon Realm, all for the sake of being able to live a carefree life with the woman he loved in this courtyard.

Just as the two were enjoying the warmth and tranquility of the morning, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Android 18 seemed to sense something as well, and asked softly:

"Another guest has arrived?"

"They're not really guests, just a bunch of lackeys who came to give gifts because of my reputation." Qin Feng ruffled Android 18's hair and shook his head casually.

Boom--!

Ten thousand meters above Mount Paozu, the space suddenly rippled violently like water.

Immediately afterwards, a series of dazzling divine lights lit up in the void!

Iwan, the God of God of Destruction of Universe 1, Anato, the Supreme Kai;

Helles, the God of Destruction the Universe 2;

Mosco, the God of Destruction the Universe 3;

The Universe 6's God of Destruction, Champa, and Supreme Kai, Vados;

The Universe 11's God of Destruction, Belmod, and Supreme Kai, Kael;

The newly chosen God of Destruction of Universe 12...

At this moment, the God of Destruction and Supreme Kai Angel of all eleven universes, along with all their attendant angels, crossed the vast star field and descended in a mighty procession above Mount Paozu in the Universe 7!

Such a magnificent sight has never occurred in the entire history of the universe, spanning billions of years!

Even when the Grand Zeno convened meetings of the gods in the past, he had never been able to gather all the gods together with such awe and reverence.

However, these gods, who usually reign supreme in their respective universes and can decide the life and death of billions of beings with a single word, do not even dare to descend into the courtyard of Mount Paozu.

Dozens of gods hovered nervously in mid-air, their God of Destruction and divine aura completely suppressed, afraid that even the slightest aura might disturb Qin Feng below.

Beerus, the leader, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, crouched low, and shouted in a low voice towards the pavilion below:

"Beerus... leading Universe 11 God of Destruction, Supreme Kai, and Angel from the entire universe, has come to pay homage to Lord Qin Feng and his wife! We wish Qin Feng good health!"

Greetings to Lord Qin Feng! Greetings to your wife!

Dozens of supreme deities bowed and shouted in unison in the air, their voices rolling, yet they were extremely restrained, their words filled with utmost humility and fervor!

Behind them floated hundreds and thousands of supreme treasure boxes, each radiating a different colored divine light.

Those are the most exquisite natural treasures scavenged from eleven universes, supreme divine fruits that can elevate one's soul, and all sorts of rare and precious gems!

Looking at the gods floating in the sky and the mountains of treasures, Qin Feng leaned back on the stone bench, too lazy to even stand up.

He gently clapped Android 18's little hand, glanced sideways at Beerus in the sky, and grumbled irritably:

"Beerus, are you asking for a beating again? What are you doing, bringing such a big bunch of people to my doorstep and howling like that? You've scared all the birds off Mount Paozu."

Hearing Qin Feng's casual yet supremely authoritative rebuke, the dozens of God of Destruction in the air trembled in fear, not daring to utter a sound, and all knelt down on one knee in mid-air!

Champa's fat trembled violently, and his lips quivered as he dared not speak.

Beerus was so startled he almost fell from the sky. He quickly pulled Whis down to land outside the gate, then scurried into the yard and knelt down in front of Qin Feng with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Lord Qin Feng, please calm your anger! This humble god deserves to die! This humble god absolutely did not mean to disturb Lord Qin Feng and your wife!"

Beerus pointed to the treasures in the air and explained in an urgent yet obsequious tone:

"Lord Qin Feng! Today happens to be a major day for the universe's routine cleanup. All the God of Destruction, grateful for Lord Qin Feng's great kindness in shattering the ruins and purifying the universe with a single punch, and knowing Qin Feng fondness for tranquility, have spontaneously formed a group, bringing with them the rarest specialties and treasures from their respective universes to express their gratitude to Lord Qin Feng!"

"We absolutely dare not harbor the slightest improper thoughts! After delivering the gifts, we'll leave immediately! We won't disturb Lord Qin Feng and his wife from sunbathing!"

Whis, smiling and bowing in agreement, chimed in:

"Yes, Lord Qin Feng. These gifts are all harmless nourishing treasures from various universes, which will be extremely beneficial to your wife's health and well-being."

Upon hearing that it would "benefit Android 18," Qin Feng's originally cold gaze softened slightly.

Qin Feng glanced at Android 18 beside him, who was smiling, and then at the fragrant divine fruits and rare treasures in the air. He waved his hand.

"Alright, put your things down, and everyone get the hell out of here. From now on, without my permission, if anyone dares to organize a group to hold a meeting at Mount Paozu again, I'll kick their entire universe like a football."

"Yes, yes, yes! We will obey Lord Qin Feng's supreme decree!!"

Beerus felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and his heart finally settled down.

The dozens of God of Destruction and Supreme Kai in the air were as if they had heard heavenly music. They hurriedly and respectfully manipulated their divine power to smoothly land the thousands of supreme treasure boxes on the open ground outside Mount Paozu. Then, without even raising their heads, they all bowed deeply to Qin Feng at a ninety-degree angle.

"This humble deity takes his leave! May Lord Qin Feng and his wife enjoy eternal peace and good health!"

Boom!

Divine lights flashed, and the gods of the eleven universes arrived quickly and left even faster, afraid of displeasing this invincible evil star if they were a step too slow.

In a short while, the sky above Mount Paozu returned to its azure blue and tranquil state.

Looking at the Supreme Treasure Boxes piled up like small mountains around the perimeter, Android 18 couldn't help but chuckle softly:

"These God of Destruction are usually high and mighty in their own universes, so why are they all terrified like mice in front of a cat when they're in your presence?"

Qin Feng, holding Android 18's small hand, pulled her into his arms, resting his head on her soft shoulder, and said with a mischievous smile:

"That's because they're clever. Dishonest gods are already overgrown with weeds. Wife, come on, let's go see if those divine fruits are any good. I'll pick the sweet ones and save them for you."

"Okay, I'll do as you say," Android 18 replied gently.

The heartwarming scene between the master and disciple... no, it was something that caught the attention of Son Goku and Vegeta, who had just arrived, and it left them both speechless.

Son Goku landed in the courtyard, his eyes widening as he stared at the mountain of Sacred World of the Kais treasures:

"Wow! That's amazing! Those Gods of God of Destruction usually look so fierce, but I never expected them to give so many delicious treats as gifts!"

Vegeta stood to the side with his arms crossed, his lips twitching slightly, but he was also incredibly shocked.

Throughout history, only Lord Qin Feng has ever managed to command the respect and reverence of all the gods in the universe to present gifts on time and at the appointed moments.

"Mr. Qin Feng!" Son Goku stepped forward, scratching his head and grinning, "Vegeta and I have figured out some new techniques in the Time-Space Training Room at the Whis's Temple! The Grand Priest said that our physical bodies are now hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than before!"

Qin Feng pulled Android 18 to sit down on the stone bench, glanced at Son Goku, and said with a smile:

"You're showing off after making a little progress? Looks like the guidance I gave you last time didn't make you so cocky."

Vegeta stepped forward, his expression extremely serious and respectful:

"Lord Qin Feng, that idiot Kakarot just speaks without thinking. However... we have indeed sensed the bottleneck after the fusion of physical essence and wildness. I wonder how we should approach the next stage of Super Saiyan 5?"

Upon hearing the mention of "Super Saiyan 5," Son Goku instantly dropped his jovial demeanor, his eyes filled with fervor and yearning for the Supreme Martial Way.

Qin Feng took a sip of the warm tea that Android 18 had handed him and spoke calmly:

"What's the rush? Super Saiyan 5 Full Power only pushes your own bloodline's wildness and rules to the limit. If you want to go further, you can't do it by just shutting yourself in the Gravity Chamber and working yourself to the bone."

"What do we need?" Son Goku asked quickly.

Qin Feng pointed to his heart, his tone calm:

"It requires a certain state of mind. The world is vast and natural, and life is full of human warmth. Your obsession with breaking through numerical power levels has actually made you look inferior. The Saiyan's roots are in their blood, but the Saiyan's path lies in the mortal world."

"The Saiyan way... is it in the mortal world?"

Vegeta and Son Goku were both stunned, pondering these seven seemingly simple yet profoundly profound words.

Qin Feng waved his hand, interrupting their thoughts:

"Alright, stop playing the deep thinker with me. We've finally gotten some peace and quiet today. If you want to stay for dinner, go catch a few wild beasts in the back mountains. If not, get the hell out there and hang out with your wives and kids."

Upon hearing that there would be a grand feast, Son Goku immediately cheered:

"Stay! Of course I'll stay! I'm going to the back mountain to catch the biggest wild boar right now!"

After saying this, Son Goku transformed into a golden ray of light and rushed straight to the back mountain.

Vegeta shook his head, and although he didn't say anything, he flashed after them.

Watching the backs of these two battle maniacs, Android 18 nestled close to Qin Feng and chuckled softly.

"You always say you find them annoying, but when it comes to giving advice, you're more serious than anyone else."

Qin Feng pulled his arm around his wife's slender waist, then kissed her delicate lips, smiling tenderly:

"Isn't it because I'm worried they're too weak and it won't be fun later? Besides, having a couple more free errand runners to catch wild game isn't bad, is it?"

Sunlight streamed obliquely into the courtyard, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

From the back mountain came Son Goku's excited shouts and the roars of wild beasts, while the courtyard was filled with the sweet fragrance of fruit and a warm atmosphere.

There was no catastrophe, no conspiracy.

The legend of Qin Feng has been passed down through the ages in the hearts of Kami, and the idyllic days on Mount Paozu continue quietly in this ordinary, everyday world...
