Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chapter 55, Yuan Feng Arrives

Zhen Yuanzi observed Hongyun's actions and, although he didn't express his dissatisfaction, his opinion of Hongyun changed in his heart. He saw Hongyun as a dim-witted, playful little fool, and a dim-witted, mischievous big fool.

Helplessness and sighs have become the most frequent expressions on Zhen Yuanzi's face over the past few centuries.

If it weren't Hongyun who did such a thing, Zhen Yuanzi would definitely keep his distance. It's because he had such a deep impression of Hongyun that now, if Hongyun does something unexpected, he'll find a reason to justify it.

And so, with Zhen Yuanzi's indulgence, Hongyun became increasingly arrogant. But as the saying goes, "He who walks the dark path too often will eventually encounter a ghost," and just when Hongyun was having the most fun, he was caught red-handed.

The primordial world was extremely unfair to women; some stubborn people even believed that a woman's body was inherently incomplete. This was because after yin and yang were balanced, most of the spiritual energy was absorbed by men, and unless men were willing to relinquish it to women, women were highly likely to experience a decline in their cultivation level.

When Yuan Feng learned that many phoenixes were experiencing a decline in their cultivation, she made a special trip to inquire among the phoenix clan. She learned that half of the phoenixes whose cultivation had declined were doing so because of dual cultivation, and that she had also received the Black Jade Plum Blossom as a gift from Hong Yun. So she made a special trip to see this fellow Daoist Hong Yun, who was highly regarded in the phoenix clan.

The newcomer wore a golden phoenix crown and a brilliant golden phoenix robe. His black hair was draped over his shoulders, his face was exquisite and perfect, his skin was fair and smooth, his legs were long and slender, and his fair jade feet were enveloped in a cluster of divine fire.

The method to become a saint is still unknown in the prehistoric world. Yuan Feng's cultivation level should only be that of a quasi-saint or the peak of the Great Luo realm. However, Hong Yun, who was at the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm, was almost forced to vomit blood by the pressure when he saw Yuan Feng.

"My name is Hongyun. I greet you, fellow Daoist." Hongyun composed himself and bowed.

Yuan Feng was extremely proud and didn't introduce himself at all. He immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist seems to have a good relationship with the younger generation of my clan?"

Hongyun's heart skipped a beat, fearing that her actions had been completely exposed. With Zhen Yuanzi not around, she might not even be able to escape. She could only hope that the dragon meat on the fire would please Yuanfeng.

However, he still had to find a way to deal with it on the surface. Hongyun pretended not to know Yuanfeng's intention and said, "I enjoy making friends, and fellow Daoist Feng has high magical power and profound cultivation. Discussing the Dao with him has also benefited me greatly."

"The Jade Plum Blossom is no ordinary spiritual plant or immortal fruit, yet you're so generous!" Yuan Feng said with a scrutinizing look.

"Although the Black Jade Plum Blossom is precious, I have two innate spiritual roots, so I am not lacking. Moreover, I have befriended the Phoenix Clan and received a feather fan from them, so I should treat them with sincerity." Hongyun observed Yuanfeng's expression as she spoke, and only when she saw that she did not show any signs of anger did she slowly relax.

But since Yuanfeng had come looking for her, she already had some guesses in her mind, so she couldn't be fooled by Hongyun's few words.

"Do you know about soul searching?" Yuan Feng was also scrutinizing Hong Yun.

Hongyun's expression froze, and the system's voice immediately came through: "Don't worry, she can't find the system!"

Hongyun hadn't even had a chance to relax when she heard the system's second half of its sentence, and she almost cursed out loud. She really shouldn't have thought the system had a conscience. "Don't worry, just because we can't find it doesn't mean we can't find anything else. Does that mean we can only search for it?"

"I know!" Hongyun's heart pounded, but she remained outwardly calm.

"But for a dignified Yuanfeng to use such vicious magic on the creatures of the primordial world so casually, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the Phoenix Clan?"
