Teasing the Little Kitten

Xiao Feng's gaze lingered on Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing for a moment before shifting to two other figures.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've encountered the character 'Ma Hongjun' and triggered a random projection mission—Evil Fire Phoenix!]

When Xiao Feng saw the slightly lecherous-looking chubby boy, a familiar system prompt sounded in his ear.

[Ding! Mission content: Help Ma Hongjun resolve the hidden danger of the evil fire. Mission reward: an extra chance to draw.]

Hearing this, Xiao Feng wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he smiled knowingly.

Ever since Ma Hongjun awakened his martial spirit, he had been tormented by the evil fire. It was only natural for such a projection mission to be triggered.

Completing this projection mission was simple—he just needed to give Ma Hongjun the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower to consume.

Before leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xiao Feng had specifically picked several immortal herbs he might need, including the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower.

If this were on the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Feng would never have been willing to give such a precious herb to someone like Ma Hongjun for free.

However, since items in the simulated world couldn't be brought back to the Dou Qi Continent, using the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower to exchange for an extra lottery chance felt like an excellent deal to Xiao Feng.

After withdrawing his gaze from Ma Hongjun, Xiao Feng turned to look at the figure running the slowest.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've encountered the character 'Oscar' and triggered a random projection mission—Rescue Tang San and Xiao Wu!]

[Ding! Mission content: Help Oscar rescue Tang San and Xiao Wu, who the Spirit Hall captured. Mission reward: an extra chance to draw.]

Upon hearing the details of Oscar's projection mission, Xiao Feng's expression changed slightly.

No wonder he hadn't seen Tang San and Xiao Wu. Earlier, Xiao Feng had found it odd, and now he realised that the Spirit Hall had already captured them.

But along with his surprise, Xiao Feng felt it was somewhat expected.

Considering Bibi Dong's obsessive personality, if she had learned that Tang Hao killed Yu Xiaogang, she would undoubtedly seek crazy revenge.

It wouldn't be surprising if she sent people to capture Tang San and Xiao Wu or even sent someone to wipe out the entire Clear Sky Sect.

"Stop!!!"

Snapping out of his surprise, Xiao Feng quickly took a step forward and blocked Ma Hongjun and the others' path.

"It's you?"

When Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing saw Xiao Feng reveal his actual appearance, they instinctively looked wary.

"You don't need to be nervous. I mean, you no harm. I'm here today on someone's request to help this chubby guy resolve his evil fire problem."

Xiao Feng said, cutting to the chase as he took out the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower and introduced it with great seriousness: "This is called the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower, a scarce fire-attribute immortal herb. It can greatly increase one's soul power and enhance fire-attribute martial spirits."

[T/N: Bruh this bitch is just speed running the Doulou world lmao]

Though Dai Mubai and the others didn't recognise the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower, they could tell from its soul power fluctuations and heat that it was a rare and precious herb.

"This… this immortal herb, is it really for me?"

Looking at the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower in Xiao Feng's hand, Ma Hongjun's chubby face was filled with disbelief.

Something like this only happened in his dreams.

"Chubby, do you think I'm joking with you? Or do you think you have anything valuable enough on you to make me covet, worth giving you such a precious herb?"

Xiao Feng sneered, acting disdainfully, "If it weren't for your real father..."

"My real father?"

Ma Hongjun's expression changed dramatically at these words.

Aha! I knew it! I must be a rich second-generation!

Ever since Ma Hongjun awakened his martial spirit, he had always suspected that he wasn't his parents' biological child.

Otherwise, why were both his parents' martial spirits ordinary chickens while he awakened the Phoenix spirit?

Now, with Xiao Feng's accidental slip of the tongue, Ma Hongjun had reason to believe that he was actually the illegitimate son of some important figure and that his current father was merely a stand-in.

Ma Hongjun first observed a moment of silence for his poor father, then decided to go home and probe his mother for information. He needed to figure out who his real father was.

It wasn't that Ma Hongjun despised the poor and favoured the rich—he just wanted to be respectful to his biological father!

Yes, that's it!

"What real father? You must have misheard."

Xiao Feng stifled his mischievous laughter and impatiently urged, "Do you want this Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower or not? If you don't, I'll take it back."

"I want it! Why wouldn't I?"

Seeing Xiao Feng's "frustrated" expression, Ma Hongjun became even more convinced that he was a rich second generation. He hurried forward and took the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower.

"Chubby, listen up. You can't consume this herb directly. You need to guide its medicinal power slowly with your soul power. No matter how painful it is, you must endure it, or you'll lose most of its potency."

Xiao Feng warned with a serious face, "During the absorption process, you must withstand the pain, or the medicinal power will decrease."

"Understood!"

Ma Hongjun nodded vigorously and, without hesitation, sat down cross-legged to absorb the Rooster Comb Phoenix Sunflower's medicinal power with his soul power.

After several hours of painstaking cultivation, Ma Hongjun finally absorbed all the herb's power and suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you feel Fatty?"

"It's amazing!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Ma Hongjun's face was filled with excitement. "Not only can I now control the evil fire inside me, but my soul power has also increased to level 30. If I had absorbed my third spirit ring, my soul power might have reached level 33."

Hearing Ma Hongjun's words, Dai Mubai and the others were full of envy.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, especially, if they could also take such an immortal herb, they might have a chance to defeat Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

Noticing the envy in their eyes, Xiao Feng turned to the curvy Zhu Zhuqing with a playful smile. "Little beauty, no need to envy him. If you want, I can give you an immortal herb, too—just for a small price."

Faced with Xiao Feng's unrestrained gaze, Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned bright red. She knew exactly what that "small price" was.

"Little beauty, if you change your mind, come find me at the Rose Hotel in Soutuo City. I'll be in the room of the Red Sea."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's shy reaction, Xiao Feng smiled teasingly, "By the way, I'll be leaving Soutuo City tomorrow, so you don't have much time to decide."
