"Urk!" Liu Feng choked, disbelief spreading across his face. No matter what, he never would have imagined that Elena was actually the Interior Minister's daughter too.
Looking at that face before him, one that could truly be called peerless, Liu Feng's poor little heart once again started pounding uselessly. He could not help swallowing hard, barely suppressing that inexplicable excitement as he asked carefully, "Um, then, th-that, you have an older sister?"
Seeing Liu Feng clearly starting to ramble incoherently, Elena could not help laughing even more happily. Yet at the same time, the shyness on her face grew deeper and deeper, though the teasing look in her eyes still had not faded.
Her pearly teeth lightly bit her crimson lower lip, and Elena said with a charming laugh, "There are only two sisters in my family altogether, of course that means me, and that two-year-old fiancée of yours! Heehee!" At this point, Elena could not help bursting into outright giggles.
Fuck his great-uncle! Liu Feng finally could not hold back a curse. Even though he had always been bold enough to poke a hole in the sky and his skin could hardly be called thin, at this moment he still could not stop his heart from panicking, and his face even felt as if it were burning. He did not dare look straight into Elena's beautiful eyes, filled as they were with mockery, and only kept his head lowered, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and dive right in.
Today he had truly made a fool of himself. He had never expected this girl to be that former fiancée of his whom he had never met. Ridiculous that he had blown smoke and chatted nonsense in front of the girl herself for ages without recognizing her. This loss of face could be said to have reached its true home.
But this girl really was not just ordinarily beautiful! He had not expected that Interior Minister, who was said to be treacherous and slippery by nature, to actually produce such a beautiful daughter. This made Liu Feng, amid his shame, once again deeply despise that cheap old man of his, Duke Derek. Such a beautiful daughter-in-law—how could he just break it off like that! What the hell did he take this old man for?
Seeing Liu Feng's face now carrying shame one moment, then looking as if he were gnashing his teeth the next, Elena found this fellow even more interesting. Added to that, Liu Feng's earlier flattery about how beautiful Elena had been back then had hit just the right note. Though Elena knew perfectly well that this guy had never known what she looked like before, what girl would not be delighted to have others praise her beauty?
Because of this, Elena could not help developing a trace of goodwill toward Liu Feng as well. Of course, it was only the kind of goodwill that came from finding someone interesting and fun. This made Elena's courage grow a few degrees, and another trace of shyness flashed through her beautiful eyes, but her body leaned closer toward Liu Feng as she said with a smile, "Am I really so beautiful that flowers bloom when they see me, and people love me when they see me?"
Although Liu Feng's thoughts were already in chaos at this moment, the wariness toward everyone that had never disappeared since he came to this world made him involuntarily reach out and push, wanting to shove away the person coming close to him.
How could Elena have imagined that Liu Feng would actually make this move? She could not help freezing, and for a moment actually forgot to dodge, only to be pushed squarely in the chest by Liu Feng's big hands.
Feeling that far-too-delicate warmth and softness transmitted through his hands, and that tingling numbness that seemed to pierce straight into his bones, Liu Feng's male instincts made him involuntarily squeeze slightly.
Along with a seductive moan from Elena that could make one's blood surge, Liu Feng finally reacted. Looking at Elena's pretty face, filled with incomparable shock and a mixture of shame and anger, then seeing his own large hands pressed on her towering chest, Liu Feng froze on the spot.
Seeing Elena's complexion turn from red to white, then from white to green, Liu Feng finally understood exactly what he had done. He could not help grinning awkwardly, then turned around, wheeled about, and ran.
His speed was astonishingly fast, like a rabbit gone berserk, and in an instant he had already shot far away, leaving the pedestrians on the road tongue-tied and staring.
Seeing that Liu Feng, this fellow, had actually turned and run without saying a single word, Elena first went blank, then let out an ultra-high-decibel scream. "Nicholas! You, you actually dare treat me like this! I, I'm going to kill you!" As she spoke, a dense surge of elemental fluctuations rose from Elena's body.
Then, without Elena chanting any incantation at all, small fireballs suddenly appeared out of thin air around her body, then shot toward Liu Feng with incomparable speed.
Whether because of innate talent or because Liu Feng had angered her to the extreme at this moment, Elena actually broke through the restriction in magic that incantations had to be used, and cast instant magic.
Liu Feng naturally did not know about Elena's change at this moment. Though he had heard that roar like the Lioness of Hedong, this fellow, while feeling quite guilty inside, still kept mulling it over: this girl had originally been his fiancée, so what law was he breaking by touching her a couple times?
In that instant, this fellow had naturally forgotten cleanly and completely that the engagement between the two of them had long since been called off.
The small fireballs were extremely fast. By the time Liu Feng had just reacted, they had already reached behind him, leaving him no time to dodge at all.
Bang bang bang!
Several muffled sounds rang out as the small fireballs viciously struck Liu Feng's back.
Right then, the Devour skill inside Liu Feng's body suddenly began to circulate violently. Then the fire elements carried by the small fireballs actually entered his body in an instant through Liu Feng's back and were sucked into the energy mass of the Devour skill, causing the effects of the magic to vanish in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, how could Liu Feng still have time to notice the changes inside his body? His body staggered, but he still did not even dare turn his head back, sprinting desperately toward the manor. The clothes on his back had already turned to ash, making him look as if he had just been robbed by some terrifying bandit.
Seeing that Liu Feng, this fellow, had been hit by her small fireballs yet was acting as if nothing had happened, Elena immediately froze, once again sensing how strange this guy was.
But after an instant, Elena's thoughts were once again filled with rage. Her body also rose into the air, and as she kept cursing, the small fireballs in her hands continued smashing toward Liu Feng's back as if they were worthless stones lying on the ground...
Because the crystal core inside his body had transformed his constitution, Liu Feng's physical quality at this moment was countless times stronger than before. Added to his mood right now, his speed was pushed to the limit. Though Elena's speed was not exactly slow either, she did have to keep using magic, and in the end she could only stare blankly as the person who had taken dozens of her small fireballs—aside from the clothes on his back being completely turned to ash, he showed not the slightest sign of injury—fled in panic like a startled rabbit...
After finally running into the small forest outside York Town, Liu Feng at last caught his breath. Knowing he had shaken off Elena, he was just about to rest for a bit when he discovered Turner, Cookson, and the other two were hurrying this way, seemingly searching for him.
Sure enough, when Turner saw Liu Feng, joy appeared on his face, and in a few big strides he darted to Liu Feng's side. But before he could speak, the expressions of Turner, Cookson, and the other two suddenly changed sharply. They abruptly turned around and looked toward the forest, their eyes revealing incomparable horror.
Liu Feng was stunned, not knowing what madness had suddenly taken these three fellows. Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask, an extremely violent pressure suddenly surged over, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, forcibly pressing the words at Liu Feng's lips back down.
Then Liu Feng only felt his body suddenly grow heavy, as if a small mountain had pressed down on him. He could no longer stand steady and sat down hard on his backside, his face completely changing color as well.
And right at this moment, above the forest, two figures suddenly flew up out of thin air...
