Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 507 The Girl's Confession

After leaving the auction house alone, Jin Renfeng had nowhere to stay and could only find a temporary inn to stay in.

"Sigh! I'm such a fool!"

After finishing his cultivation, Jin Renfeng leaned against the bed and sighed.

He had no complaints about Ya Fei's difficult behavior.

Ultimately, it was his own fault this time that put Ya Fei in danger.

The responsibility also lies with him.

In fact, Jin Renfeng was initially quite wary of the dangers posed by the Calamity Poison Body.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have devised various ways to cure Little Fairy Doctor.

However, after analyzing the Calamity Poison Body, he gradually lowered his guard against this constitution.

After all, when the toxin poses no threat, no one will take it seriously.

Over time, he overlooked Ya Fei's physical tolerance.

Ultimately, this led to this terrible mistake!
"This mistake must never be repeated!"

Jin Renfeng reminded himself silently.

Although it may seem like mere carelessness on the surface, the root cause lies in his failure to put himself in Ya Fei's shoes, which led to this mistake.

If he could take good care of Consort Ya, he would probably immediately realize the difference in their strength.

This incident can be considered a warning to him.

Perhaps, his own strength and methods are enough to allow him to run rampant in this world.

But the people around me are not like that.

Especially for the slightly weaker Ya Fei, special attention should be paid to her and protection should be strengthened.

They cannot be lumped together into one place.

After reflecting on the mistakes he made in this incident and imprinting them in his mind, Jin Renfeng finally threw himself back into cultivation.

Now that Little Fairy Doctor and Consort Ya are no longer by his side, and he has nothing else to do, he can only focus his energy on improving his own strength.

The deep blue battle aura circulated repeatedly within the meridians, while the crimson energy formed a vortex that enveloped it.

As a powerful expert at the Dou Wang realm, every time he inhales or exhales the energy of heaven and earth, it is like a vast ocean.

The energy of heaven and earth refined in just one instance is enough to allow a fighter to break through to the first star level.

With complete concentration, time flew by.

When Jin Renfeng opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the dim sunlight outside the window and feeling the hunger in his stomach, he got out of bed and prepared to go out to buy some food.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Who would come knocking at this time?"

Jin Renfeng felt slightly strange.
Logically speaking, since he hasn't told anyone where he lives, no one should be coming to look for him.

He went up and opened the door.

What came into view was a tall girl in a light purple dress.

"Miss Xiao Yu, it's you?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jin Renfeng exclaimed in surprise.

"What, you're not welcome?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, a blush appearing on her long, fair neck.

"How could that be!"

Jin Renfeng chuckled lightly.

"I'm overjoyed you're coming!"

"I just didn't expect Miss Xiao Yu to find this place!"

"After all, I just moved here."

"I only learned of your whereabouts by chance."

Xiao Yu said softly.

"I first went to the auction house and learned from the guards that the gentleman had moved out to live elsewhere."

"After learning this, I inquired at various inns. Finally, I found out where you are staying now."

"So that's it!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

This girl really went to great lengths to find herself.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down at the table in the center of the room.

"May I ask what brings Miss Xiao Yu to see me this time?"

Jin Renfeng poured a cup of tea for the girl and asked.

"I have come here to express my gratitude to Mr. Tie for saving me last time."

Xiao Yu took out a green magic crystal from her storage ring and presented it to the man.

"A little care is not disrespectful."

"I hope Mr. Tie will accept it."

Jin Renfeng glanced at it and recognized it as a third-tier wood-attribute magic crystal.

Although for him, a third-tier magic crystal is nothing.

But for the Xiao family, whose strongest member is only a Great Dou Master, this is already an extraordinary treasure.

The fact that they offered this item as payment shows their sincerity.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but please take the magic crystal back!"

Jin Renfeng smiled slightly and said,

"Helping you back then was just a small favor, no need to be so polite!"

When interacting with Xiao Yan, the future Flame Emperor, he tends to be more calculating and meticulous.

After all, even a small favor from the other party is worth countless treasures.

But when interacting with an ordinary girl like Xiao Yu, there's no need to be so stingy.

"As the saying goes, a drop of water in need should be repaid with a spring of water."

"As far as Mr. Yu is concerned, our Xiao family's strength is indeed somewhat insufficient."

"These third-tier magic crystals are nothing special."

"But this is ultimately a token of my appreciation, and you must accept it, sir."

Xiao Yu insisted, placing her palm in front of the boy.

Seeing the girl's earnest eyes, Jin Renfeng knew that if he continued to refuse, it would only embarrass her.

He sighed and shook his head.

"In that case, I'll shamelessly accept this magic crystal!"

After saying that, he took the magic crystal from the girl's hand.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu was finally satisfied.

The two then started chatting. Jin Renfeng had nothing to do at the moment and was happy to have a young girl keep him company.

"I heard from Xiao Yan that you will be leaving Wutan City soon."

During their casual conversation, Xiao Yu said something seemingly unintentionally.

"He's quite well-informed."

Jin Renfeng chuckled softly.

"So, this news is true?"

Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she said.

"That's right. I expect to leave Utan City in about half a month."

Jin Renfeng calculated the time and said.

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, could you please stay a little longer, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's breathing quickened, and a hint of anxiety appeared on her pretty face!
"I'm afraid that won't work; I have important things to do."

Jin Renfeng shook his head.

Now that Xiao Yan is about to leave Wutan City, it means that his teacher Yun Yun's arrival in the Monster Mountain Range is imminent.

At such a crucial moment, he naturally had to go back and wait in advance.

Otherwise, if they missed the opportunity even slightly, the teacher's life would be in danger.

Xiao Yu's fair hands trembled slightly, and her chest rose and fell gently.

"Is there really no time to lose?"

The girl asked eagerly.

"Why does Miss Xiao Yu insist that I stay?"

Jin Renfeng looked puzzled when he noticed the change in the other person's tone.

From any perspective, it seems there's no reason for the other party to try and keep him.

Xiao Yu twisted her hands together, a troubled look appearing on her pretty face.

"Miss, please speak frankly. If there is a problem, we can discuss it and find a solution."

Seeing that Xiao Yu was troubled, Jin Renfeng gently offered some words of advice.

Upon hearing this, as if she had made up her mind, Xiao Yu raised her eyes, looked at the man opposite her, and gritted her teeth,

"To be honest, ever since you saved me from danger, I, Xiao Yu, have fallen for you." "I wonder if you would accept my feelings?"

At this point, the girl's cheeks flushed, like a beautiful, intoxicating sunset.

"You've fallen for me?"

Jin Renfeng was slightly taken aback, and it took him a while to understand.

Was he confessed to?
A slight stirring appeared in the young man's heart.

Although his junior sister had confessed her feelings to him when they were at the height of their fame, it was more like a confession and interrogation than a declaration of love.

This is the first time that the other party has taken the initiative to reveal their true feelings like this.

Xiao Yu gazed at the man opposite her, awaiting his reply.

At that moment, her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her throat.

This was the first time Xiao Yu had realized how difficult it was to express her feelings.

After a while, a soft laugh rang out, and Jin Renfeng's gaze fell on the girl's cheek.

"So that's it!"

"No wonder Miss Xiao Yu was being so hesitant this time. Turns out she came here specifically for me."

"Sir, please don't make fun of me. I am truly speaking from the heart."

Xiao Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"I hope you can tell me the answer frankly."

"I see!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

Since she had set aside her girlish pride and taken the initiative to pursue him, how could he not understand her attitude?

"But the problem right now is that you don't know me well enough."

"I have already learned a lot about you, sir, from Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yu quickly replied.

“I even know that you come from the Yunlan Sect.”

"My real name is Jin Renfeng, do you know that?"

Jin Renfeng chuckled and asked.

"Jin Renfeng?"

Xiao Yu looked astonished.

"Sir, you have concealed your name?"

"As expected, you didn't know my identity."

Jin Renfeng nodded slightly.

It seems that Xiao Yan is quite tight-lipped and hasn't said anything carelessly.

Xiao Yu found it hard to believe.

She never expected that the name Tie Zhongkui was actually a pseudonym.

"But I heard that the alchemy genius of the Yunlan Sect, who appears only once every thousand years, is also named Jin Renfeng."

At this point, the girl's gaze shifted, revealing a questioning look.

"Even you've heard of my name! That's quite surprising!"

Jin Renfeng chuckled softly.

"That's right! I am Jin Renfeng."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing an even younger face.

"This is what I really look like!"

"So young!"

Looking at the boy's handsome young face, Xiao Yu was in a daze.

She wondered if she was dreaming.

The legendary figure suddenly appeared beside her, not only saving her but also confessing his feelings to her.

These experiences are truly unbelievable.

After a long while, the girl let out a deep breath.

"I never expected that you, sir, would be such a famous person."

Xiao Yu's gaze was complex, and her tone was heavy.

The information she had just received clearly left her feeling very confused.

"I'm sorry! I have to conceal my identity to avoid being watched by some enemies."

Jin Renfeng lowered his eyes and said softly.

"I see!"

Xiao Yu nodded lightly.

Although she didn't know who the so-called enemy was, she could imagine the kind of predicament that someone who had broken through to the fourth rank of alchemist at such a young age would face.

"However, confessing my feelings to someone wearing a mask would make me seem a bit too foolish!"

The girl smiled bitterly.

It's truly hard to accept that the first time I've opened my heart to someone who's being fake.

That's why I said you don't know me well enough!

Jin Renfeng shook his head.

This girl clearly knew nothing about him and confessed her feelings to him in a moment of passion.

"Now the truth is out: my identity is fake, my appearance is fake, and my name is fake."

"You could say you've fallen for a completely different person. In that case, shouldn't you reconsider?"

As he spoke, the man looked at the girl with a searching look in his eyes.

Facing the man's gaze, Xiao Yu firmly shook her head.

"Although your face and name are fake, what you do is real."

"It was you who saved me from those thugs, that hasn't changed!"

"Since I like you, it's because I like you as a person. No matter what you become, I will never change."

"What a silly girl!"

Seeing that the girl still insisted, Jin Renfeng sighed.

"Since you've heard of my name, you must know that I am from the Yunlan Sect and I currently have a fiancée named Nalan Yanran."

“I heard Xiao Ning mention that the gentleman once came to the Xiao family to break off Nalan Yanran’s engagement.”

Xiao Yu nodded.

In fact, even though she was at Canaan Academy, she knew what had happened.

After all, this was a major event that shook the entire Gama Empire.

“Nalan Yanran is my junior sister, and we have long been engaged. That’s why I came to the Xiao family with her to find Xiao Yan to break off the engagement.”

Jin Renfeng said calmly,

Fortunately, the matter was resolved peacefully in the end!

"Xun'er and Xiao Yan met me around that time."

"These two guys really fooled me."

Xiao Yu gave a bitter smile.

She had originally asked the two men about her savior, but she never expected that they would completely deceive her.

Quite a bit of information was revealed, but crucial details, such as the specific identities of the individuals involved, were completely missing.

"They only concealed my identity because they complied with my request."

Jin Renfeng said,

"It's not their fault."

I understand that perfectly well!
Xiao Yu said,
She was present at the time and naturally knew Jin Renfeng's instructions to the two of them.

However, she was still somewhat resentful. After all, she, Xun'er, and Xiao Yan were family, yet the two of them had no trust in her whatsoever.

Jin Renfeng said in a deep voice.

“I am very grateful that the young lady has fallen for me.”

"After all, any man would be moved by a woman as beautiful as you!"

“I can reciprocate your feelings. But as I just said, I already have more than one woman in my life.”

"With Yanran and the others around, if you and I want to truly be together, you have to accept them as well."

"I recall that you were unmarried. Don't I even have a chance to fight for this?"

Xiao Yu pursed her red lips slightly, her gaze defiant.

"I won't give up Yanran for you. That's not in my nature."

Jin Renfeng shook his head.

"No matter how much I like you, I can't abandon my former lover."

"I believe you wouldn't like someone who is fickle and easily bored."

"Of course, I have many women around me, but I will not look down on any of them. Every woman in my life is my beloved. I cannot abandon any of them."
