Princess Minmin's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "So you mean you lost, right!"
Li Changfeng looked helpless upon hearing this, "I guess so!"
"Hehe! I never thought you'd have a day like this, Li Changfeng!" Princess Minmin was overjoyed. She had always competed with Li Changfeng and lost more often than she won. This time, she was very happy to see Li Changfeng suffer a setback.
"Are you finally satisfied now?"
"Hmph! I'll let you off this time since you're so sincere!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "That's great! You've almost driven me crazy!"
Li Changfeng's gaze fell on Zhou Zhiruo. "Zhiruo, your strength has improved greatly over the years! You've truly impressed me!"
Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed upon hearing this. Li Changfeng's words were tantamount to confirming that her efforts over the years had not been in vain, and she was extremely happy.
"Brother Feng! I can finally keep up with you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face was filled with heartache. He thought to himself, "So she worked so hard for me, and I didn't even know. I really feel sorry for her!"
"Zhiruo! Come with me! It's time to leave!"
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes filled with tears, her heart pounding with excitement. She had been waiting for this day for years. "Okay! Brother Feng!"
Three days later.
After receiving the message, Zuo Kangcheng and Sun Hongwen rushed to Medicine God Valley, accompanied by Tie Rushan. They gathered together, tasted Li Changfeng's fine wine, and praised it repeatedly, saying that the wine was very delicious and that they would definitely go to Northern Di City to purchase it in the future.
"Brother Li! I never expected that after all these years, you would be the lord of a city, and even have two beauties in your arms. It's truly enviable!" Zuo Kangcheng gave Li Changfeng a knowing look and teased him.
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Brother Zuo is right! However, with Brother Li's cultivation level and strength, he is also extremely well-matched with these two sisters-in-law!"
Tie Rushan patted Li Changfeng on the shoulder and laughed, "Brother Li! When are you having your wedding banquet? I'm looking forward to celebrating with you!"
These words immediately made Princess Minmin and Zhou Zhiruo blush. Li Changfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you craving some wine? Don't worry, I'll definitely drag you two along!"
"Hahaha! Remember what you said, Brother Li!"
Yue Hanhai, with a broad smile, sighed, "Brother Li! Are you leaving so soon?"
"Yes! Minmin has been away for too long; even her Emperor is urging her to return!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gave Li Changfeng a knowing look, "Got it! Take care, brother!"
"Take care of yourself!"
After bidding them farewell, Li Changfeng, along with Princess Minmin and the others, headed towards the imperial city.
They traveled and enjoyed the scenery for seven days before arriving at a lush forest. It was midday, and the weather was extremely hot. They fetched some water from a nearby pool, intending to rest for a while before setting off again.
Suddenly, Li Changfeng's ears twitched slightly. He made a shushing gesture and whispered, "There are people in the cave ahead. Let's try to stay hidden to the side and not cause any trouble!"
Princess Minmin also noticed this situation. She and Li Changfeng shared the same thought: it's better to avoid trouble, so they decided to hide in the lush vegetation.
Fifteen minutes later.
Seven or eight figures emerged from the cave, one of whom was an extremely burly man with a bald head and scars on his head. He was dressed in monk's robes and looked like a Buddhist monk.
The other seven were dressed in black, their faces covered so that their true identities could not be seen, and they exuded a sinister aura that was extremely intimidating!
Suddenly, the monk sniffed the air and lewdly said, "It smells like a woman!"
Suddenly, the monk made a move, slamming his palm down and unleashing a domineering golden palm print that fiercely attacked the location where Li Changfeng and the others were hiding. His methods were extremely ruthless!
Li Changfeng's pupils shrank upon seeing this. He hadn't expected the bald monk to be so decisive, launching a killing move right away, catching him off guard!
Li Changfeng reacted instantly, gathering a crimson aura of Stupa True Qi in his palm and unleashing a domineering crimson palm print to meet the oncoming force.
With a deafening roar, a violent shockwave suddenly erupted in the sky, shattering the surrounding trees and slowly revealing the figures of Li Changfeng and his companions.
Upon seeing Princess Minmin and Zhou Zhiruo's stunning beauty, the monk was overcome with lust. His eyes and hands roamed over the two women, causing their faces to turn ashen as they glared at him in fury.
"What are you looking at, you bald monk? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Princess Minmin said furiously.
Upon hearing this, the monk's face contorted with lewdness. "What a fiery beauty! I like her! Let this humble monk treat you well!"
Suddenly, the Black-Clad Leader narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly, "It's you! Li Changfeng! You got him without any effort at all! Flower-Picking Monk! He's your target!"
"As for that woman, I advise you not to do anything reckless. She is the daughter of the Southern Emperor. Be careful, or your life may be in danger!"
The Flower-Picking Monk became even more excited upon hearing this, "The Southern Emperor's daughter, no wonder she's so beautiful! In that case, I'm even more determined to make my move on her!"
The Black-Clad Leader darkened upon hearing this. "What a madman!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face darkened considerably. Someone had actually dared to utter such insulting words about his woman to his face; in Li Changfeng's mind, she was already a dead man.
"Flower-Picking Monk? I'll take your eyes! And I won't let you die so easily; I'll torture you for forty-nine days before you die in agony!"
Upon hearing this, the Flower-Picking Monk licked his lips, revealing scarlet eyes, and sneered, "You? What a joke!"
Upon hearing this person's name, Princess Minmin's eyes narrowed, and she transmitted her voice, saying, "I've heard of this lewd monk's reputation. He's not simple at all. He's already reached the Grandmaster realm, and he's extremely mad!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's face hardened. "Whoever it is! Anyone who insults my woman must die!"
Princess Minmin felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this. "Hmph! You've finally shown some manly spirit! In that case, he's yours. I'll deal with the Black-Clad Leader!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "You should also be careful! I feel a strong sense of familiarity with this person's aura; he seems to be a member of the evil path!"
Princess Minmin smiled faintly upon hearing this, "I feel the same way! But defeating me won't be so easy; my strength is not to be underestimated!"
"Sister Zhiruo! Xiao Qing! Murong Zhan! The three of you work together behind me and carefully observe the situation of those men in black. Be careful that they don't suddenly attack you!" Princess Minmin said with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo and the other two stared at the men in black with extremely serious expressions. "Okay! We'll be careful!"
A great battle is about to break out!
