Vina Wanted Me as Her Prince Consort, but I Only Wanted to Climb Mountains and Raise My Cultivation

"Luo Feng, who exactly are you?"

As the saying went, beauties all loved great heroes.

Especially men who stepped forward in their hour of peril.

Such a man made this princess of the Heaven Dou Empire secretly pledge her heart to him all the more.

After all, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was one of the strongest land-dwelling Soul Beasts.

It was even qualified to wrestle with dragons.

Not only did it possess boundless strength, but its defenses were also exceptionally powerful.

Even a rank-95 Titled Douluo might not be able to defeat a twenty-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear like this one!

Yet Luo Feng was only in his thirties in rank.

And he could still beat this terrifying Ferocious Beast like a hanging punching bag.

Moreover, this man's defenses were downright monstrous.

He could actually block its sharp claws head-on.

"Boom!"

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Just as Princess Vina watched from the sidelines like a little fangirl-

The battle before her seemed to have reached its conclusion.

Luo Feng had seized an opening and snapped the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's neck.

As that massive body crashed heavily to the ground, Luo Feng slowly turned around.

He extended an invitation to the beautiful princess.

"Why don't you deliver the final blow?"

According to the Douluo Continent's rules for hunting Soul Beasts-

Whoever delivered the final, fatal attack-

Would be able to claim the Soul Ring left behind after the Soul Beast's death.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had only one breath left in it now.

Even a child could kill it.

Luo Feng was handing her an enormous gift!

"Sir, you..."

At the sight-

Princess Vina's heart surged with emotion.

If not for her status as a princess, she might well have offered herself to him.

But Luo Feng wasted no more words.

He simply sat on a large rock nearby and began straightening the clothes the bear had torn...

"Don't waste these final moments. Do it!"

Faced with Luo Feng's generosity-

Princess Vina felt a little embarrassed.

"Sir, I have Twin Martial Souls. This one is a snow lotus, and the other is my brain!"

"And this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a Power Attack System Soul Beast... it seems better suited for a Martial Soul Second Awakening!"

"But this Ferocious Beast's Soul Ring is too precious. Using it like that seems a little wasteful..."

Seeing the beauty's indecision, Luo Feng gave a mischievous chuckle.

"My Martial Soul is a dragon. This bear's Soul Ring doesn't suit me either!"

"Since you don't want it either, miss, let's just throw it away. No loss!"

With that, Luo Feng casually picked up a butcher's knife.

He struck a pose as though he were about to slaughter the bear.

That sent Vina into a panic.

"Hey, wait! That's too wasteful!"

"How about... how about leaving it for my Martial Soul Second Awakening?"

"Words can't express my gratitude for such a great kindness!"

"Once I've successfully advanced, I'll speak with you in detail, benefactor!"

Women!

Creatures whose lips said one thing while their hearts meant another!

She clearly wanted it so badly, yet kept saying no.

At this, Luo Feng smiled.

He handed Vina the knife.

"Be my guest!"

"Yes, thank you!"

Time ticked by, second after second.

As the Body Sect's genius with a brain Martial Soul, Princess Vina's absorption speed was certainly fast enough.

She finished in less than two hours.

And by the time the princess opened her eyes again-

Luo Feng had already brought over the things from the tent.

He was leisurely brewing tea and had even roasted a chicken.

The aroma instantly stirred Vina's appetite.

"Awake?"

"Want something to eat?"

Seeing the beauty awaken, Luo Feng grinned and handed her a chicken leg.

The gesture looked a little crude.

Yet for some reason, Princess Vina blushed, accepted the chicken leg, and sat down right beside Luo Feng.

"Sir, there's something I didn't tell you earlier!"

"I'm Princess Vina of the Heaven Dou Empire. I originally came with my guards to hunt for a Soul Ring!"

"But that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear suddenly attacked and separated me from everyone. If I hadn't met..."

Just as expected!

When he had seen that face earlier, Luo Feng had known whom he had encountered.

"Oh, you can call me Luo Feng. I'm a mountaineering enthusiast. I just happened to pass by!"

Luo Feng had little interest in her status as a princess. He behaved completely naturally, neither servile nor overbearing.

This immediately won him a great deal of her favor.

"Are you from some secluded sect? Your Martial Soul looked like a dragon just now..."

As a princess of an empire, Vina had a discerning eye.

But even after searching all her memories, she still couldn't tell which branch of dragons Luo Feng's Martial Soul belonged to.

After all, someone who could withstand a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with his flesh alone and successfully kill it in turn-

Probably already possessed strength equivalent to the Body Sect's Martial Soul Second Awakening, and the highest-tier Golden Awakening at that!

"You flatter me, Princess. I'm just a rustic from the mountains. I'm used to living alone and have no clan to speak of!"

Luo Feng had merely wanted to make up an excuse.

Little did he know that the more he spoke like this, the more the princess before him felt he was no ordinary man.

"Mr. Luo! To express my gratitude for saving my life, I hope you'll come back to the Heaven Dou Empire with me!"

Compared with the royal family members of the other empires-

Vina was definitely the approachable sort.

Perhaps that had something to do with her joining the Body Sect.

But Luo Feng felt nothing about that.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the Heaven Dou Empire's miserable fate.

He didn't want to wade into those muddy waters either.

"Your Highness, I merely stepped in when I saw an injustice. I don't need any reward from you!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll help you find your guards in a bit, then take my leave!"

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Princess Vina froze, unable to react for quite some time!

The Heaven Dou Empire was, after all, one of the three great empires on the Douluo Continent.

She, a princess, had already hinted at this much.

Why did this man still show no reaction at all?

Did he regard money as nothing but dung?

"Wait, Mr. Luo Feng, you haven't even heard what the reward is yet! Why refuse so decisively?"

As the saying went, what one couldn't obtain was always the best.

Vina had already been won over by the strength Luo Feng had displayed and his act of saving a beauty as a hero.

Now she discovered that he was completely unlike ordinary Soul Masters, remaining utterly unmoved by an imperial reward.

That bearing, that open-mindedness.

Wasn't he the finest candidate for a husband in the princess's heart?

"Heh, you've misunderstood, Princess!"

"I, Luo Feng, am merely an idle cloud and a wild crane. Once I'm fed, my whole family goes without hunger!"

"I appreciate the kindness of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family!"

"Then... then what if I said I wanted to invite you to become our Heaven Dou Empire's prince consort?"

Vina herself didn't know what had come over her.

To make her say something so bold.

As everyone knew-

This imperial princess also had a childhood sweetheart in the Body Sect.

He was Long Aotian, the Body Sect's young sect master.

He was a genius Soul Master who had undergone a Second Silver Awakening.

Their parents had even agreed-

To find a suitable opportunity to arrange their engagement.

Yet Luo Feng had appeared at precisely this moment.

And instantly won all the princess's affection!

"Prince consort?"

"I'd better pass!"

"There are too many court formalities. I'd rather go climb some mountains!"

Under normal circumstances-

If a fair-skinned, wealthy beauty confessed to him so openly, Luo Feng would certainly have agreed.

But right now, he truly couldn't.

According to the leveling rules of his cheat-

For Luo Feng, who possessed the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul, to unlock all the power of this top-tier Martial Soul-

He had to travel far and wide, visiting famous mountains and great rivers.

Princess Vina was beautiful and kindhearted too.

But if he married into the royal family, how could he roam the entire world map climbing mountains?

What use were fine clothes and sumptuous meals to a Mountain Dragon King who couldn't grow?

"Ah, Mr. Luo, have I not shown enough sincerity?"

"I... I..."

Hearing him refuse outright once again-

Princess Vina suddenly grew very agitated.

In her distress, compounded by the immense physical exhaustion from her Second Awakening earlier-

The beautiful princess swayed and helplessly collapsed into Luo Feng's arms!

"Ah, Princess, what are you...?"

This scene really caught him off guard.

Luo Feng had originally intended to see her off, then continue searching for the highest peak in the Ming Dou Mountain Range.

But this sudden turn of events instantly shattered all his plans.

A lone man and woman, alone deep in the mountains.

Their eyes met in the glow of the campfire.

What would happen next?

The process was naturally indescribable...
