Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1187 - 1172: Burden!
Now the bad omen looming in Shi Feng's mind grows ever stronger, making Shi Feng feel that something extremely ominous is about to happen.
Shi Feng thought again of the woman by his side, Qingg Yan!
After this incident, after those three old dogs found him using a secret technique, Shi Feng was increasingly convinced that no matter how cautiously he advanced in secret, Gu'e Mountain and that ancient Hanl family would come to attack sooner or later.
This growing bad omen in his heart must be related to those two waves of strong enemies.
Turning to Qingg Yan, Shi Feng said: "Woman, you can't continue following me. If you persist, you will surely be implicated."
"Ah!" Hearing Shi Feng suddenly say this again, Qingg Yan opened her mouth wide and said:
"Shi Feng, why do you keep saying such things! Didn't we already talk about this? With the power of Gu'e Mountain, how could they trouble someone as insignificant as me! Besides, with your strength, returning to Ice Snow Wilderness City with you would actually make me safer!"
It seemed this woman indeed did not wish to part from Shi Feng. In her heart, she was unwilling to leave him!
"This demon, truly wicked!" On one side, Flame Saint Son Huo Yu, hearing Shi Feng's conversation with the woman, thought secretly to himself.
Just from their simple exchange, Huo Yu felt he understood everything that had happened. Surely this "demon," during these few days when he wasn't around, met this woman in the icy wilderness.
Then he found amusement, playing with her body, and now he was prepared to abandon her.
But this woman was foolish too. This "demon" is a peerless genius; what future heavenly beauties wouldn't he have? How could he be emotionally moved by someone as mediocre as her?
To this "demon," her body was merely a flavoring on this icy journey.
Sleeping with this woman was no different from sleeping with a prostitute!
Thinking these thoughts, Huo Yu secretly smirked coldly, continuing to watch the pair. To Huo Yu, it seemed he had already predicted all possible outcomes.
Hearing Qingg Yan's words, Shi Feng said: "This time, whether you want to or not, you must not follow me! If you do, and we encounter strong foes, you'll only become a burden!"
As he spoke, Shi Feng's tone was somewhat hard. After speaking, without waiting for Qingg Yan to respond, Shi Feng said to Huo Yu: "Huo Yu, let's go!"
Immediately, Shi Feng's figure flickered and vanished from Qingg Yan's sight.
"Alright, boss!" Seeing Shi Feng already leaving, Huo Yu thought to himself, "Just as I the Saint Heir expected," with a disdainful cold smile on his face. Following that, Huo Yu also disappeared from the void.
In the blink of an eye, only Qingg Yan was left standing there. "Shi... Feng..." As Qingg Yan uttered those words, the void was already empty and vast.
The sky was still filled with drifting snowflakes, like down fluttering in the white heavens and earth. The sight was beautiful, but Qingg Yan had no heart to admire it.
The words he had spoken kept echoing in her mind: "If you follow me, you will only be a burden when we truly encounter strong foes!"
"If you follow me, you will only be a burden when we truly encounter strong foes!"
...
"I!" Qingg Yan bowed her head, glanced at her fair hands, and gathered all her strength into them. Then, she shook her head full of despondency and self-mockingly laughed:
"Compared to him, indeed, I am too weak, too weak! Staying with him, I would only become a burden, haha!"
"It seems it was always my wishful thinking. How could someone like me, Qingg Yan, ever be worthy of him, a genius! I... would only be a burden to him!"
"I am a burden..."
Qingg Yan said full of self-deprecation, then looked in the direction where Shi Feng and Huo Yu had left. Who knew what she was thinking at that moment, and then her figure flashed, surprisingly chasing after Shi Feng and Huo Yu.
...
After leaving Qingg Yan, Shi Feng's figure shuttled rapidly through the snowy landscape. Without Qingg Yan now, his speed of rapid movement was incomparable to before!
As fast as light!
His words to Qingg Yan although harsh, were for her good! Staying with him was far too dangerous for her.
Flame Saint Son Huo Yu, with his body flashing like a fiery flame, followed alongside Shi Feng. To Huo Yu, Shi Feng's abandonment of that woman was of no concern at all.
With the "demon's" talents, to find a slightly better-looking woman to entertain himself was, to Huo Yu, simply nothing significant.
To play with and then discard was also natural. The "demon's" talent, could he possibly marry her after playing with her?
If that were so, now that would be a joke!
"Boss, the ancient rune you imparted to me, where did you acquire it from? This... It should be something from the Ancient Period, left by an ancient True God!" Speaking of the ancient rune representing the Fiery Flame Law, Huo Yu put aside his frivolous demeanor and asked Shi Feng full of solemnity.
That ancient rune, especially representing the Fiery Flame Law, was more precious to Huo Yu than any Fiery Flame Combat Technique!
"That's something I, the Demon, discovered by chance in my homeland, in a place of Ancient Relics," Shi Feng answered simply and clearly.
For him now situated in this Wilderness Continent, Tianheng Continent was his homeland.
"Homeland?" Huo Yu repeated the word, then asked Shi Feng: "Right, boss, where is your homeland?"
For this increasingly inscrutable "demon," Huo Yu still did not know where this "demon" originated from.
Previously, he speculated he came from the "Sinister Abyss," but speculation was after all just speculation.
Shi Feng said: "I am now rushing towards my homeland. When the time comes, you will know!"
This Flame Saint Son Huo Yu had a good talent and was under his control—an excellent henchman.
And now, after nurturing him, allowing him to successfully step into the Realm of Four-star Half God, and imparting him the ancient rune representing the Fiery Flame Law, so Shi Feng had no plan to let him go!
Preparing to take him to Tianheng Continent, for his own use in the future!
Hearing Shi Feng's words, Huo Yu's eyes slightly widened, and he said: "We are now heading to your homeland? Does this mean, boss, that you indeed originate from the Sinister Abyss?"
What Huo Yu now knew was that their current destination was precisely the Sinister Abyss. And since Shi Feng said as much, he naturally associated it with that place!
