I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

The atmosphere aboard the Star River Flying Boat was somewhat eerie.

Lin Wanyin, in particular, kept her head down, twisting the hem of her clothes helplessly with her hands, not daring to even look at Chu Feng.

She felt like her brain was a complete mess.

Imprisoned by her sect and humiliated by her fellow disciples, she was at her most desperate moment when this man, whom she both hated and feared, descended like a god and rescued her in the most domineering and unreasonable way.

They were even willing to make enemies of the entire Buddhist community in the Bodhi Starfield for this.

In her heart, there was gratitude, shyness, confusion, and above all, something she had never felt before called "a sense of security."

"Master, your performance at Cihang Jingzhai today was amazing! I think that old nun Jingxuan was almost driven to death with anger. It was so satisfying!"

Shi Xuanfei's voice broke the silence.

She practically clung to Chu Feng, her breath sweet as orchids, her eyes alluring and filled with adoring admiration.

Then she looked at Lin Wanyin: "This time, Master went to great lengths to fight your entire sect and even saved you. Shouldn't you repay Master properly?"

"How about we do another performance like the one we did on the Cloud Chaser Boat last time?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyin's face flushed red to her ears, and her head drooped down.

Chu Feng rolled his eyes at Shi Xuanfei and pulled her off him.

He walked up to Lin Wanyin, took out a pill radiating a rich life force from his storage ring, and handed it to her.

"Eat it."

Lin Wanyin stared at him blankly.

"Your cultivation has been sealed, and your essence has been damaged. This pill can help you recover." Chu Feng's voice was calm. "From now on, you will follow me. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least no one will dare to bully you again."

These words were neither gentle nor romantic.

But it was like a warm current that instantly flowed into Lin Wanyin's cold heart.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Thank you..." she said in a voice barely audible, as she accepted the pill.

Seeing this, Zhuge Yue smiled and stepped forward, taking Lin Wanyin's hand.

"Sister Lin, from now on we are family."

Chu Qingge, holding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, leaned against the ship's railing, watching the scene with a cold gaze. She didn't speak, but a hint of gentleness appeared in the depths of her eyes.

Seeing this harmonious scene, Chu Feng felt a slight sense of relief.

Only when the harem is stable can he focus on his career.

He then looked at Gu Santong, who was chugging down wine, and asked, "Senior, how far are we from Baidi City?"

Gu Santong let out a burp and wiped his mouth.

"It'll be soon. At the speed of the Star River Flying Ship, it will take at most half a month to reach the Central Star Region."

He paused, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

"Boy, this year's Ranking of Prodigies Across the Myriad Realms is no small matter."

"Moreover, your identity as the successor of the Human Emperor and the commotion you caused in the Starry Sky Secret Realm have already spread throughout the heavens. Add to that the commotion you caused in the Bodhi Star Region this time... I guarantee that once you arrive in White Emperor City, you will become the target of everyone."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Target?"

"Perfect, saves me the trouble of going to find them one by one."

"Those who want to climb over me to get to the top, let's see if they have the ability."

……

at the same time.

Bodhi Starfield, the deepest part.

An ancient Buddhist kingdom that does not belong to any star and floats in the chaos.

This is the ancestral home of the Ten Thousand Buddhas School.

The figure of the ancient Buddha Liaochen appeared before a magnificent Buddhist temple that defied description.

He straightened his monk's robe, his expression solemn, and went inside.

The Buddhist temple was completely empty.

Only three ancient Buddha statues, each ten thousand feet tall and made of neither gold nor jade, stand in the center of the main hall in a triangular formation.

These three Buddha statues, with their eyes closed and solemn appearances, exude a terrifying pressure that could make even the heavens tremble.

Liaochen Ancient Buddha walked to the foot of the three Buddha statues and respectfully performed a full prostration.

"Disciple Liaochen pays respects to the three Buddhas."

Inside the main hall, all was silent.

After a long while, the Buddha statue in the center slowly opened its eyes.

What kind of eyes were those?

It contained no emotion whatsoever, as if it contained the supreme truth of the universe's birth and death, and the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

"Liaochen, what brings you to disturb my peaceful cultivation?"

The Buddha statue spoke, its voice not loud, yet it seemed to be the voice of the Great Dao, resounding throughout the entire Buddhist hall.

Liaochen Ancient Buddha remained kneeling on the ground, speaking in an extremely respectful yet slightly trembling tone, "Reporting to the Buddha..."

"I can't... he's not dead yet."

boom!

This statement came out.

The entire Buddhist hall suddenly trembled!

The other two Buddha statues, which had previously kept their eyes closed, also opened their eyes at this moment!

Three immense pressures, more than ten times more terrifying than before, descended with a deafening roar, causing even the ancient Buddha Liaochen, a Saint King of the Ninth Heaven, to feel his Buddha-heart on the verge of collapse.

"What did you say?!"

The Buddha statue on the left emitted a sound filled with shock.

"That wretched creature, back then, was cast into the Sea of ​​Reincarnation by the three of us joining forces, his Buddhist heart extinguished and his golden body shattered. How could he possibly still be alive?!"

"It's absolutely true." The Ancient Buddha Liaochen recounted everything that had happened at Cihang Jingzhai in detail, from beginning to end.

This includes how the monk Wufa crawled out of the coffin, how he swallowed the Holy Ancestor's relic in one gulp, how he killed the ancient Buddha of Vajra Temple in one move, and his absurd request at the end.

After listening to his account, the three Buddha statues fell into a long silence.

"I never expected... he actually survived..." The Buddha statue on the right let out a long sigh. "That wretched creature's life is truly tough."

"Hmph!" The central Buddha statue sneered. "So what if he's not dead? From what you've said, he's now just a remnant soul, residing in a junior's magical artifact. His strength is less than a tenth of what it used to be; he's at his weakest point!"

His voice suddenly became somewhat scorching.

"He's not dead, which means..."

The Buddha statue on the left immediately took over the conversation, its voice filled with barely suppressed greed and excitement.

"That thing he brought out from 'that place' back then is very likely still in his possession!"

"That thing..." The Buddha statue on the right also became excited, "Legend has it that it can grant us access to the mysteries of the 'Emperor' realm, and even make us new supreme Buddhas!"

"We must get it!"

The central Buddha statue uttered an undeniable voice.

"Liao Chen!"

"Disciple is here!"

"Immediately issue my decree to summon all disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect above the Saint Realm level. At the same time, notify all major Buddhist forces that the traitorous monk Wufa has reappeared in the world, and order them to immediately send people to capture him!"

"This time, we absolutely cannot let him get away again!"

"Not only must we completely obliterate him, but we must also take that thing he possessed, and that boy beside him who carries the legacy of the Human Emperor—everything!"
