Swallowing the Starry Sky: Qin Feng

Since the day Yao Rao came over, when she was in a bit of a rush and something went wrong, life has been peaceful and warm ever since.

Every morning, the two would wash up together, then cultivate separately. At noon, Qin Feng would pick up Yao Rao to have lunch together. After lunch, they would rest briefly and then return to cultivation until lunchtime in the afternoon when they would eat together again.

They cultivated until very late each night. Afterwards, Qin Feng slept in the Medicine Master Hall, while Yao Rao slept in the manor.

Their feelings gradually warmed up amidst this tranquility. Nearly two months later, the peace was finally broken. Qin Feng, as usual, came to pick up Yao Rao for lunch at noon. However, upon entering the cultivation room, he discovered that Yao Rao was actually breaking through to the next level.

Qin Feng was somewhat lost in thought. Although he had expected it, had this day come so soon? Yes, she had been here for almost two months without him realizing it, it was time for her to break through.

But will she stay after her breakthrough? To be honest, Qin Feng wasn't sure.

Not long after, Yao Rao, who had just completed her breakthrough, looked at Qin Feng, who seemed a little lost in thought, and couldn't help but find it amusing. This guy had confidently said that he would let me come and go as I pleased, but I had only just broken through to the third level of the planetary stage and he was already getting anxious. Humph! I'll make you anxious to death.

"Cough! I've broken through, Qin Feng. Thank you for your help these past two months. I not only learned the secret technique of flight, but I've also increased my power output sixfold. I want to go back to the martial arts school; it's been two months since I've been back. I wonder if those two roughnecks, Iceberg and Beast, can take good care of the school master?"

"Ah! Oh! Congratulations on your breakthrough, Yao Rao! Go on, it's time to go home and visit, but have dinner first before you leave."

"OK!"

The meal was eaten in silence. Usually, the two of them would chat while eating, but this time, Qin Feng didn't know what to say.

After finishing lunch, Yao Rao slung her spear over her shoulder, turned to Qin Feng as she reached the door, and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Qin Feng scratched his head and said, "Take care on your journey."

Yao Rao didn't reply, turned around and walked straight out the door, rolling her eyes and muttering to herself, "That jerk, so obsessed with saving face, he's making himself miserable! You can just stay there and suffer like this!"

Watching the alluring figure disappear without turning back, Qin Feng remained silent for a long time before slapping himself hard. "This damned pride of men! Can't you be a little shameless? I'm so stupid!"

Forget it, she didn't say she wouldn't come back! Right? Just wait and see, go cultivate, so you don't overthink things.

Qin Feng plunged back into the Origin Space to begin cultivating, but after a short while, he became somewhat agitated and stopped, staring blankly at the figure of Jin Yu, who seemed to be a golden ray of light flying through the air.

Jin Yu landed beside him, tilted his head, and asked, "Boss, what's wrong? You didn't cultivate today. Did something terrible happen?"

"Jin Yu! It's nothing. Maybe you're just getting a little tired of cultivating every day? Even I, your boss, sometimes want to slack off!"

"Then you shouldn't be here, boss. Didn't you always spend your rest time with your wife?"

"When have I ever taken a break to spend time with her? We only see each other at mealtimes every day. After lunch, I rest for a bit and then go back to my cultivation. I have never spent time with her. Don't talk nonsense! And I've told you eight hundred times already, she's still my wife."

"Not yet? Then it'll be sooner or later, won't it?" Jin Yu tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.

Qin Feng paused, then said somewhat speechlessly, "What do you, an eagle, know about getting married? Go back to your cultivation!"

"Hehe! Boss, I'll slack off with you for a bit. I'm already using seven times my normal power. I've been increasing my power by an average of one time every month. Plus, my speed is now over six thousand meters per second. I've also mastered the combat techniques, and I haven't fallen behind in leveling up. I'm at the same Planetary Level 4 as you, Boss. I feel like I should give myself a break too."

"Don't be arrogant, you're just like me, your talent isn't that great. There's no other way but to work hard. Once your boss gets his hands on the bloodline potion, I'll improve it for you too. Then we can join forces and conquer the universe."

"I always hear you talk about the universe, but what exactly is in the universe? Tell me about it, boss."

"The universe is vast, and our Earth is just an insignificant speck of dust in it."

It contains countless races, all sorts of strange and wonderful life forms, all sorts of strange and wonderful landscapes, all sorts of strange and wonderful secret realms, and all sorts of strange and wonderful treasures. In short, it is both wonderful and cruel.

If we want to venture into the universe, we must constantly improve our strength, otherwise we might just die silently in some corner one day.

You're my boss! I have lofty ambitions and don't want to die a pathetic death, so I want to become a strong person, the strongest strong person.

Jin Yu! If you want to keep up with your boss, then work your hardest! Seize every opportunity to become stronger. If you ever fall behind, your boss won't just stand there waiting for you!

"Hehe, don't worry, boss. Didn't we agree before? If one day I really can't keep up with you, I'll stay in this space and protect this world that's so important to you until you become a strong person. Then I'll go out and get some of your glory."

Qin Feng laughed and scolded, "You rascal, as my pet eagle, you have so little confidence. You should say, 'Don't worry, boss, I will definitely keep up with you.'"

"Yes! I will definitely keep up with the boss."

Hahaha

"That's more like it! We need to have that kind of confidence. What universe? What secret realm? What myriad races? They all have to kneel down and sing 'Conquer' to me. In my life, I will either die a glorious death or be famous among all races. There are only these two possibilities."

"Our leader is awesome!"

"Alright, I'm fine now. It's just a woman. If she dares not to come back, I'll just go and snatch her back. What's the big deal? Cultivation is the most important thing. If I'm not strong enough, I won't be able to realize my ambitions in the future."

The man and the eagle were just bragging, but they ended up getting really excited and started cultivating enthusiastically in the Origin Space. It has to be said that these two are quite peculiar; birds of a feather flock together.

This left the monkey and its clone, who had been silently watching Qin Feng and had already sensed something was wrong, speechless.

The monkey vanished in a flash, probably off to refine weapons again, while the clone hid to the side, covering its face with one hand, almost digging a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground beneath its feet.

Damn! This is so embarrassing, so cringeworthy! Is this really me? All the races of the universe kneeling down to sing "Conquer," why don't you just say you're going to overthrow the heavens? Overthrow the universe?! Ugh! I'm so embarrassed, I can't take it anymore. I'm outta here.
