That year.

Beneath the Tianshan, a land covered with apricot blossoms far and wide.

Qin Feng was being pursued and fell in Xinghua Gou Village, by the side of a clear river, losing consciousness.

In a daze.

He only felt a pair of jade hands gently pressing on his head, very comfortable.

Just like now.

There was also a refreshing and intoxicating fragrance.

"Xing'er, I, I can't marry you…" At this moment, Qin Feng mumbled in a haze, as if in a dream.

The hands that were massaging his temples suddenly stopped.

Qin Feng was also suddenly alert.

Opening his eyes to look.

This was not the grassy field that stretched all around, not the apricot blossoms fluttering in the sky, nor was there that clear, sweet river nearby, but rather in a hotel room.

"Is it you?"

Qin Feng sat up and realized that the person who had been gently soothing his head was not the Holy Daughter, but Mu Jiangyue.

"Seeing you in discomfort from drinking too much, I had nothing better to do, so I helped massage your head a bit."

Mu Jiangyue said.

"Uh, thank you. I didn't talk nonsense, did I?"

Qin Feng said.

"No, you just kept saying 'I'm sorry, Xing'er' and things like you can't marry her, you're sorry to her." Mu Jiangyue spoke.

"I see, how embarrassing."

"No, you are a good man." Mu Jiangyue said, while also getting up, "I think, your wife Yunxiao must be very happy."

"Ah…"

Thinking of his wife Xu Yunxiao, Qin Feng felt a surge of melancholy.

If she hadn't left.

By now they probably would have had the fruit of their love.

Seeing that Mu Jiangyue seemed somewhat weary, he said, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I should be heading back too."

Mu Jiangyue said.

A trace of faint melancholy flashed across her brows.

The two left the room.

Outside, Lord Dog, Liang Jiuxiang, and the others were all waiting, and when they saw Mu Jiangyue come out of his room, they were momentarily stunned, followed by that knowing look men share, they said to Qin Feng, "Mr. Qin, did you sleep well last night?"

"Not at all, I'm exhausted."

Qin Feng complained.

After three days of continuous drinking, he was too tired.

Unthinkingly.

Lord Dog and the others winked and nudged each other, "We get it, we understand! Haha…"

Mu Jiangyue, with her autumn-moon-like countenance, blushed slightly and walked off into the distance.

Qin Feng, at a loss for words, said to them, "Look at you guys, always saying nonsense, you've made someone unhappy now, haven't you!"

"What does it matter, after all, you and Mu Jiangyue are betrothed, everyone knows this."

Lord Dog laughed.

"…"

Qin Feng was speechless before them, saying, "My engagement with her was just a temporary arrangement, it's not real, stop spreading rumors."

"Is that so?"

Lord Dog appeared skeptical for a moment and muttered, "Well, last night, when you were drunk, Mr. Qin, I arranged for some outstanding beauties to take care of you all night, but they were seen by Mu Jiangyue. She scolded me and then personally went to your room and stayed until now."

"…"

Qin Feng was surprised at these words.

So, that means.

She had been massaging his head all night?

No wonder she seemed so tired.

But why would she do this…

In the morning.

Qin Feng said goodbye to everyone and left the place.

He had told the people from Xingluo Peak a few days ago that he would go to Qinling in a month, so it was necessary to prepare in advance.

Now that his wife was not around.

He must take this opportunity to continue growing his own power.

Also.

Learning the secret given by the Sixth Grade Grandmaster Elder of Xingluo Peak further confirmed Qin Feng's determination to go to Qinling personally.

Not only will the Destroying Supreme Sect be eradicated.

But the throne of the number one treasure of the entire Qinling Land must also be claimed!

However, there is one thing to do before leaving.

Qin Feng and Xiao Lian did not directly head to the train station, but first went to Dragon Mountain!

"Boss, why are we here?"

Xiao Lian asked, puzzled.

Qin Feng stood on the mountaintop, overlooking the entire Dragon Mountain Range, and said, "I heard there's a Monster here, so before we leave, we need to deal with the Monster."

Although Dragon Mountain City is in the south.

Many plants have withered due to winter.

Only the central Dragon Mountain in the city remains lush with green leaves.

The only explanation is that this mountain possesses Spiritual Energy!

In Huaxia, there are five major places where Spiritual Energy gathers: Qinling, Kunlun, Shu Mountain, Tianshan, and Changbai Mountain.

Aside from these five major areas, many smaller places also have Spiritual Energy, albeit in smaller areas and much weaker.

For example, Ai Yeqing's hometown, Xiaozhai Village, and Hundred Herbs Hall among others.

However, those places were discovered early on, situated deep in the mountains and hidden from the world.

Dragon Mountain is different.

It is right at the heart of the city, and its Spiritual Energy is so weak that ordinary people can hardly notice it.

Qin Feng initially hadn't noticed either.

But as soon as he entered, he felt the animation of winter's green leaves, completely different from the vegetation outside the mountain, which was quite abnormal.

Upon closer inspection, he indeed sensed a trace of Spiritual Energy!

This "trace" does not mean there is a little Spiritual Energy.

But rather, only a small amount is seeping out.

To enable all the vegetation on a whole mountain to thrive so luxuriantly, there must be a substantial amount of contained Spiritual Energy, only it is not being revealed for some reason.

Therefore.

After dealing with the matter at Xingluo Peak, Qin Feng didn't hesitate at all and had Lord Dog purchase the mountain.

At this moment.

Xiao Lian also tried to follow his lead, meticulously surveying the surroundings of the mountain below, but she did not spot anything unusual.

Qin Feng spoke up: "Since it won't come out, we have to lure it."

He took out a Blood Bodhi and tossed it down the hillside.

Under the sunlight, the Blood Bodhi emitted a sparkling, crystal-clear light, like a magnificent gemstone.

In less than fifteen minutes.

Qin Feng watched the jungle below, when suddenly there was a stir!

"Is it a bear?" If you're not on *, you're viewing a copy.

Xiao Lian asked doubtfully.

She saw a black bear over three meters tall pick up the Blood Bodhi.

The black bear's eyes were blood-red, exuding an extremely strong hostility.

Clearly.

This was a Fierce Beast!!

"No, it's probably not just this one," said Qin Feng, "the Spiritual Energy of such a large mountain couldn't have bred just a simple Fierce Beast. Let's continue to wait below."

Soon.

The Fierce Beast, having obtained the Blood Bodhi and contemplating whether to eat it,

unexpectedly.

At that moment, a roar echoed throughout the entire valley!!

The roar was not loud!

But it echoed throughout the valley, startling all the birds and beasts on the mountain!

All the grass and trees also swayed violently as if caught in a storm.

"Indeed, there must be something big!"

Qin Feng's eyes shone with excitement.

At this moment.

The black bear Fierce Beast, about to eat the Blood Bodhi, on seeing this, was so frightened that it dared not eat it, and after hesitating for a bit, it immediately carried the Blood Bodhi deeper into the mountains.

Qin Feng pulled Xiao Lian along, saying, "Let's go, follow it!"

The two of them immediately started running down to the mountains, stepping on the foliage.

Momentarily.

They reached the entrance of a massive cave.

The entrance alone was a hundred meters tall, incredibly spectacular!

Inside, pitch black and immensely eerie.

And extremely strange.

Merely looking into the cave from the entrance, one could feel an endless wave of terror!
