Capturing Little Huo Niang

Xu Feng was still there in the middle of a cat-headed brain storm, but Jiang Nannan had already succeeded in making Huo Yutong drop her guard.

Huo Yutong also began to look closely at Xu Feng; although she hadn't looked at the sky screen at all these past few days because she was rushing on the road, she had still heard of Xu Feng's reputation.

"Then, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, what are you doing coming to find me?"

Huo Yutong's years of experience in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion told her that there were never any pies falling from the sky, and behind the actions of every person, interests were bound to be intertwined.

Xu Feng finally stopped his brain storm. Even though Huo Yuhao turning into a little Huo Niang was still too big of an impact for him, in that case, arranging an identity later on would also be much easier to resolve.

Yet the little Huo Niang before him obviously had experienced completely different things, trusting interests more than so-called affection.

"If I talked to you about other things, you wouldn't believe it either. It's better to talk about something practical: the abused third young miss in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

Xu Feng's tone was calm, yet like a sharp blade, it precisely sliced open the deepest secret at the bottom of Huo Yutong's heart.

How could you know?! Huo Yutong crashed straight into the tree trunk behind her out of fright. The rough bark chafed her back until it ached, yet this pain fell far short of the shock in her heart.

From beginning to end, she hadn't said a single thing about herself, and hadn't even revealed her name. Why did the man before her know so clearly?

"You mustn't underestimate my intelligence network." Xu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his whole person radiating a congenital poise and self-confidence.

That's right. This man was the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, after all; arranging spies within the Star Luo Empire belonged to routine operations.

Huo Yutong forced herself to calm down. She bit her lower lip, her nails almost embedding themselves into her palms, before she barely suppressed that impulse to turn and run.

"Then what on earth is the crown prince looking for me for?" Huo Yutong tried hard to make her gaze meet his, unwilling to show a shred of timidity in front of this man.

She knew she had no way out. Since the other party had already seen through everything, instead of panicking, it was better to face this conversation head-on.

"Consider it giving you a chance, a chance that can let you take revenge on Dai Hao." Xu Feng's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples in Huo Yutong's heart.

Those two words—revenge—were as scalding as a branding iron, instantly igniting the long-suppressed flame within her eyes.

She had braved mortal danger to come to the Star Dou Great Forest—wasn't it precisely to have a day when she could trample that man beneath her feet with her own hands? Yet how difficult this path was, she knew clearer than anyone.

"With your current level, wanting to cultivate to Titled Douluo and carry out revenge against him is simply a pipe dream."

What Xu Feng utilized was an information gap; after all, normal people didn't have that kind of cheating condition. Even if you gave her one hundred years, it was impossible to cultivate to Titled Douluo.

"You need resources, top-tier spirit rings, rare spiritual herbs, peak cultivation techniques, and enough time plus a safe cultivation environment. And the person who can provide these for you is only me."

"The Star Luo Empire is in cahoots with him; Shrek Academy will make you give up revenge for the sake of the big picture; Douling and Tianhun do not have this capability."

Xu Feng's words were like a basin of cold water poured over Huo Yutong's head. He directly blocked off every path she could possibly take.

Except for the Sun Moon Empire, other places would ultimately make her lay down her hatred—either through being powerless to resist or by being kidnapped by the so-called "big picture."

She clenched her fists. Her chest felt as if it were blocked by something, unable to breathe. "Why!?" Huo Yutong's voice was near hoarse, her eye rims turning red yet stubbornly refusing to let tears fall.

She didn't understand why her revenge was so difficult! Clearly Dai Hao was the one who destroyed everything she had; clearly she was the victim, so why did everyone want her to let it go, and everyone want her to forgive? She merely wanted to claim some justice—was even this wrong?

"For the big picture, the Star Luo Empire can only rely on Dai Hao to oppose us. They absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to him."

This sentence was actually a lie. Xu Jiawei wished for Dai Hao to die and for the White Tiger Duke to vanish more than anyone else.

If Huo Yutong appeared before him after acquiring the Ice Empress Spirit, Xu Jiawei would definitely pull out all resources to cultivate her.

Moreover, unlike the original Huo Yuhao, Huo Yutong as a girl would only marry in the future. It was something that could truly prevent the rebirth of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but these words were certainly not things he would speak aloud.

"Shrek Academy goes without saying. You know the Tang Sect? Their land was seized by the Iron and Blood Sect, and the entire family of the last sect master was killed. She is still the girlfriend of the descendant of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master, yet they told her to put aside her hatred."

Xu Feng actually didn't know whether this matter was true or not, but it didn't prevent him from spinning falsehoods. After all, Shrek Academy behaved far too abstractly regarding this matter.

As a pure Shrek person, no matter how much Tang Ya wanted to revitalize the Tang Sect, the new Tang Sect would only ever be an appendage of Shrek Academy.

Besides, that Iron and Blood Sect was also a purely trashy sect; even if it were exterminated, not a single person would utter any idle talk. Yet Shrek Academy just happened to remain completely indifferent.

He watched Huo Yutong's gradually pale complexion and continued speaking, "With this kind of purely internal relationship, they aren't even willing to help. You, an outsider, on what grounds would they help you?"

Huo Yutong's body swayed slightly, leaning against the tree trunk before she barely managed to steady her stance. She finally understood that in this world, justice was never bestowed by others; if she wanted revenge, she had to possess sufficient strength.

And the man before her was perhaps her only chance. He was the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire's heart for unifying the mainland had never extinguished.

Only the Sun Moon Empire would definitely wage war against the Star Luo Empire, and only the Sun Moon Empire would definitely agree to let her kill Dai Hao.

"It seems you've already made your choice: whether to choose to achieve nothing, or to come with me."

Xu Feng extended his hand toward Huo Yutong. Huo Yutong looked at the hand before her, ultimately choosing to grasp it. This was her sole chance—her only chance at revenge.

"Will you really help me get revenge?"

"Not me, but you. I will give you the best cultivation environment, and I will also provide you with all kinds of things you need. Then, you will go carry out the revenge yourself."

Xu Feng wouldn't take revenge for her; this matter had to be done by her own hands. One must know that when Huo Yuhao chose to give up back then, it had disgusted him to no end.

Even though the one before him was the little Huo Niang, this time, he absolutely would not allow anyone to stop her revenge—no one could stop it. If Tang San dared to descend, he would run him over with a train.

Huo Yutong looked at Xu Feng and inexplicably felt her heart grow warm. It seemed she truly had hope for revenge after all.
