CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 200: CALLING THE WIND AND SUMMONING THE RAIN!

Hoo—

On the way to the lakeside, at a speed of Mach three, one kilometer per second.

Zhang Feng used spiritual energy to cover his body, not only providing enough power but also using principles such as dynamics to reduce drag and infinitely weaken the generation of sonic booms.

Otherwise, if he flew directly without reducing resistance, although he could also reach a speed of seven hundred meters per second, there would be continuous sonic booms wherever he passed.

Zhang Feng had thoughts about this.

Do the Golden Core cultivators in this world experience sonic booms when they fly?

Of course, assuming they reach the speed of sound.

A mere twenty seconds.

He arrived at a lakeside twenty kilometers away.

From a kilometer high above, Zhang Feng looked down and saw the body of the little carp sunbathing on a rock in the lake, without the illusion of a girl.

But as Zhang Feng descended, appearing in the little carp’s vision.

She instantly manipulated the spiritual energy to form a gentle woman in an ancient sky-blue long robe, about twenty years old.

Her appearance was eighty percent similar to the girl she used to be, but overall she appeared more mature than the girl from a dozen years ago.

However, her demeanor lacked the lively and mischievous aura, instead carrying a hidden grievance in her expression.

Her demeanor resembled that of a concubine in a palace drama, relegated to the cold palace.

Zhang Feng saw her looking at him with such grievance and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Because, regarding emotional matters and conversations with girls.

He had not learned or calculated these with big data before.

This was a completely new subject.

So, Zhang Feng remained silent, while the little carp grew increasingly angry. Eventually, she puffed up her cheeks in frustration, then sighed long and lost:

"Brother Zhang, don’t you have anything you want to say to me?"

The question was thrown at him right away.

Zhang Feng thought for a few seconds and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Mm..." The little carp nodded weakly.

Even though the question was mundane, she didn’t know why, but upon hearing Zhang Feng’s voice, she felt a flutter in her heart, like the wait of a dozen years was worth it.

In ancient terms, it was like a slow carriage and horse, a lifelong unrequited love for one person.

Moreover, she felt that no one could compare to Zhang Feng.

In modern terms, it was a love brain, difficult to cure.

"Mhm." Zhang Feng nodded, adding, "I see you’re nearing perfection in your Foundation Establishment. Perhaps with a bit more seclusion, you might be able to condense a Golden Core and take physical form.

No need to rely on spiritual energy anymore."

"Mm..." The little carp nodded again, then shyly asked, "Brother Zhang... after I take form, will you marry me?"

’What kind of question is that?’ Zhang Feng thought, frowning inwardly, feeling like this girl was completely off-script.

Normally, shouldn’t she be asking about cultivation matters?

"Let me explain the cultivation method for the Golden Core to you."

Even though she didn’t ask, Zhang Feng decided to help thoroughly, considering it as a payback for the heart demon insights he previously gained, and explained the method for forming a Golden Core in detail.

Of course, Zhang Feng knew that doing this, being so concerned, would likely deepen both the emotions and the misunderstandings.

But how could he not repay help?

Sometimes emotions are very complex, even knowing it’s wrong, you still have to do it.

Just like himself now, he had to repay the kindness in his heart.

Then looking at the little carp’s gaze fixed upon him.

Her affection for him was undoubtedly a mistake, but it was probably irreversible.

This reality and emotion lacked any logic found in science.

That’s why Zhang Feng initially tried to avoid emotions, as this is an unresolved paradox in current science and technology.

However, he could also be ruthless and simply tell her not to wait.

But since she had waited for him for decades, Zhang Feng felt guilty and couldn’t bring himself to say those words.

This complex, somewhat selfish emotion was the life insight Zhang Feng experienced.

This selfishness was giving her hope, making her wait.

Now, looking back carefully, if the misunderstanding before he formed his Golden Core a decade ago was not refuted, not strongly severing her romantic hopes for him.

This was selfishly delaying her.

Zhang Feng also honestly showed this, unwilling to deny his humanity, choosing instead to face right and wrong directly.

Although ambiguity can certainly attract and ensnare someone.

Using the little carp’s youth as bait seemed improper to Zhang Feng.

Even though she was a person in an adventure world, ’unreal’ to him.

But regardless of reality, his actions were genuine reflections of his thoughts.

Zhang Feng felt this selfishness had to be cleared, severed outright.

Moreover, the little carp loved him.

Zhang Feng was indeed moved.

The reason was straightforward: because she was beautiful like a fairy, gifted, and most importantly, she had waited wholeheartedly for him for decades.

With these reasons, what more was there to say?

Zhang Feng did not deny his feelings, nor did he seek grand reasons or epic events to justify lacking shared hardships or genuine feelings in adversity.

Though these can deepen emotions and make everything seem natural, they felt too contrived.

They both stayed in the village daily, where were the disasters?

If they married, it would be more like celestial spouses, hidden in the mountains for years, a century of simple companionship.

As cultivators, we should dare to love and hate.

These were his thoughts.

Zhang Feng, while experiencing complex emotions, continued teaching the little carp the Golden Core cultivation method.
