Ji Feng had approached Lin Yuan in Star Web because he had grown tired of his insufferably hopeless life. He wanted to gamble on the chance that his two feys would be able to suppress that terrifying thing in his body once they evolved to Myth III.
If he could not even rely on his two Myth III feys, he would have to do the unthinkable.
His feys should have been able to change into human form and protect him when they reached Myth II.
Unfortunately, his two feys were plant-type feys and would only be able to change into human form when they reached Myth III.
After being buried in agony for so long, Ji Feng had long forgotten how it felt to receive warmth.
When Lin Yuan identified him as one of his people, Ji Feng finally felt a ray of warmth shining on his heart.
The way that this masked young man was slowing down his pace was the gentlest form of respect.
