Under the guidance of the cruise ship staff, Lin Feng and Wu Mei were assigned to a luxury stateroom. It was complete with a private balcony, a comfortable sofa bed, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower.

Seeing such arrangements, Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. However, after noticing Long Jiu's lewd grin from behind, he understood. It must have been this guy who went out of his way to please me by arranging this...

AHEM... Lin Feng glanced at the enchanting Wu Mei beside him. He was actually quite satisfied with Long Jiu's arrangement.

However, once the others had left, Lin Feng feigned a troubled expression. "It's only one bed again!"

"What, are you dissatisfied? Do you find me repulsive?" Wu Mei asked casually with a light laugh.

"Not at all! I'm afraid you're the one who finds me repulsive..." Lin Feng replied, looking at Wu Mei and also laughing.

"You're overthinking things..." Wu Mei bit her lower lip and shook her head slightly. "It's good that we're staying together; it'll be more convenient if anything happens!"

Lin Feng completely agreed. The people on this ship were all arrogant and domineering. It would be difficult to expect them not to cause trouble!

"I want to take a shower first... Are you planning to stay?" Wu Mei's gaze shifted to the small, private bathroom in the stateroom as she spoke softly.

When Wu Mei asked if he wanted to stay, she was actually hinting for him to leave. Lin Feng naturally felt it wouldn't be appropriate to stay. Though their relationship was rather complex, they weren't intimate enough for him to watch her shower...

"Hmm, I need to head out for a bit!" Lin Feng planned to find Xue Qingyi and Zhou Yang to ask about their situation. He really wanted to know what their motives were for boarding the ship!

Wu Mei chuckled softly and nodded. An almost imperceptible flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

「...」

After a brief inquiry with Long Jiu, Lin Feng quickly located Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi's staterooms.

"Brother Feng, that young woman and Zhou Yang have somewhat mysterious backgrounds. Last night, they suddenly fought their way into the Tianxing Club, taking down dozens of bodyguards just to meet Lord Dragon. They even volunteered to fight for Lord Dragon without asking for any reward; that's how they got on this ship. I think, Brother Feng, if you're planning to woo her, you should be careful..." Long Jiu had concluded that Lin Feng's inquiry about Xue Qingyi was purely for romantic pursuit. He prattled on, constantly hinting at her mysterious background and advising Lin Feng to be cautious.

"Is my business any of your concern?" Lin Feng really couldn't stand the presumptuous Long Jiu. The guy was such a chatterbox. He really deserved a beating!

"Uh... In that case, Brother Feng, I'll take my leave." Long Jiu finally shut his mouth. Remembering they were already on the ship and he no longer had to keep a close watch on Lin Feng, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly scurried away.

Once Long Jiu was out of sight, Lin Feng went straight to Xue Qingyi's stateroom and knocked lightly on the door.

CLICK. The stateroom door was pulled open from the inside, revealing Zhou Yang's broadly grinning face.

"I knew you'd come!" Zhou Yang said, looking at Lin Feng without the slightest surprise. He smiled faintly and spoke very naturally.

Lin Feng wasn't surprised to find Zhou Yang in Xue Qingyi's stateroom. That guy Zhou Yang was too lazy to use his brain and always liked to stick with his teammates; he hadn't changed a bit.

"Aren't you going to invite me in to talk?" Lin Feng glanced around the rather small stateroom. Xue Qingyi was sitting quietly on the bed with her back to the door, her head slightly lowered as if lost in thought.

"You still dare to come in?" Zhou Yang's smile suddenly turned challenging. "In such a small space, even with your high level of Martial Arts, you wouldn't be able to use them effectively. If you're not afraid of us ganging up on you, then come on in!"

Lin Feng shot Zhou Yang a casual glance and decisively stepped into Xue Qingyi's stateroom.

Deep down, Lin Feng still trusted Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi. Even though, as Zhou Yang had said, they were likely to gang up on him and then force him to reveal his "true origins"... Lin Feng wasn't afraid. It wasn't a case of skill breeding confidence; rather, he believed that even if Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi subdued him, they wouldn't be too hard on him...

However, Zhou Yang and Xue Qingyi, both from the White Wolf Squad, were not soft-hearted people. This was a gamble, and Lin Feng was willing to take it!

"Quite brave, aren't you!" Zhou Yang scoffed. He carefully closed and locked the stateroom door, then turned to Lin Feng and asked softly, "Sis-in-law, this guy's here. If you have anything to say to him, just say it."

Xue Qingyi lifted her head and glanced at Lin Feng. Her beautiful face was devoid of emotion; she was as cold as a millennia-old iceberg.

Lin Feng felt a chill at Xue Qingyi's expression. He knew Xue Qingyi was cold to others, but she had never been like this with him. Even when she didn't smile, she rarely stared at him with such coldness...

"We've been following you for two days, and we've discovered that you... are very different from him," Xue Qingyi said indifferently. The "him" she referred to was, of course, the White Wolf King Lin Feng. "I want to know, is what you told me true?"

Lin Feng understood what Xue Qingyi meant. She was saying that his methods and demeanor were too different from the former White Wolf King's; they hardly seemed like the same person at all. And, in fact, Lin Feng knew that the current him truly wasn't the same person as the former White Wolf King!

The White Wolf King Lin Feng was an orphan, with no parents. But the current Lin Feng couldn't possibly abandon Jiang Xiuyun and Lin Zhonghua.

The White Wolf King Lin Feng was a God of Killing, acting as he pleased. But the current Lin Feng couldn't bring himself to kill so decisively and murder wantonly.

The White Wolf King Lin Feng was a man deeply in love, forever thinking of the deceased Xue Qinghan, never having another woman of true significance in his life. The current Lin Feng, however, true to his masculine nature, was always surrounded by beautiful women...

Reflecting on all this, Lin Feng finally understood. Part of him belonged to the White Wolf King, and another part belonged to Lin Feng of Jiangzhou. His current personality was likely a new self, formed from the fusion of the two...

Lin Feng couldn't quite say who he was anymore...

"Everything I said is true," Lin Feng nodded and said with great seriousness. Seeing Xue Qingyi's indifferent expression, he was suddenly struck by a dreadful feeling. If Xue Qingyi didn't acknowledge him as the White Wolf King Lin Feng, if they became strangers in the future, or worse, enemies due to some misunderstanding... Lin Feng absolutely could not accept such an outcome.

"I can sense that you're not lying to me..." Xue Qingyi's expression softened slightly. She gazed at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty. "But, I don't know how to convince myself... I'm sorry!"

Xue Qingyi was also deeply conflicted. She wanted to believe everything Lin Feng said and accept him as the White Wolf King. However, Lin Feng's current appearance and behavior were so vastly different from the White Wolf King she knew that she simply couldn't force herself to believe it...

"Let me observe more... search more... for traces of him in you... Can you give me some time?" Xue Qingyi gazed at Lin Feng and spoke softly.

"Of course, I'll give you time... I'll agree to any request you have!" Lin Feng's heart had already sunk into an abyss, but he forced a smile onto his face.

If it were possible, Lin Feng truly didn't want to see Xue Qingyi apologize to him...
