Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Farewell, Duckweed Girl!"

After saying that, Lu Feng ignored the floating ghost general beside him, turned around and left without looking back, as if he had transformed into Sigma Man.

Although they successfully escaped this time, they also solved the big problem of the facehugger mother.

However, Lu Feng himself did not gain any benefit. Instead, he lost his favorite weapon, the "Extreme Ice Shield Axe," which was a huge loss for him!

Therefore, Lu Feng was not in the mood to stay in the villain's stronghold any longer, nor did he have the time or inclination to chat with the Floating Duckweed Ghost General.

"Young Master Lu, please wait!"

Seeing Lu Feng turn to leave, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General beside him also spoke up to stop him, saying, "I feel deeply sorry for using Young Master Lu as bait earlier. Coincidentally, I also found this treasure key on the corpse of the villainous brothers. I wonder if it can be of any help to Young Master Lu..."

After speaking, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General flipped her jade hand and conjured an exquisitely crafted bronze key, which she then handed to Lu Feng.

"The key to the vault?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng paused slightly, then quickly turned around to accept the bronze key. "So this villainous stronghold actually hides a secret underground treasure trove?"

"Yes, the entrance to this underground treasure vault is in the personal bedroom of Yang Feng, the leader of the Evil People's Stronghold. However, I haven't had a chance to open the vault yet, so I don't know what treasures are hidden inside..."

Nodding slightly, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Miss Floating Duckweed, are you truly going to give me this key to the treasure vault?"

Holding the bronze key tightly in his palm again, Lu Feng spoke tentatively, seemingly not quite believing that the other party would willingly give up such a windfall.

After all, he and the Floating Duckweed Ghost General were complete strangers, so logically there was no need for the other party to be so friendly, which was also illogical!

"Strange! Why would this woman willingly give up the spoils in the villain's stronghold's treasury?"

"Could it be that she has other intentions? And all of this is just a trap set to lure me into the treasure vault?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng's vigilance increased significantly. He immediately tried to throw away the bronze key, thinking, "No way! I can't fall for this woman's tricks...!"

"Young Master Lu, there's no need to worry."

Before Lu Feng could even throw away the bronze key, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General approached again, grabbing his hand and speaking in a gentle, melodious voice, "As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Since I have chosen to help, I have no ill intentions. Moreover, I have no intention whatsoever to harm Young Master Lu. I hope Young Master Lu will believe me..."

The Floating Duckweed Ghost General had a sincere expression and beautiful, watery eyes, clearly not lying.

"This woman's hands... are so cold! They're like a block of ancient ice, chilling to the bone...!"

As the Floating Duckweed Ghost General grabbed his hand, Lu Feng felt a chill run down his spine, causing him to shiver. He was filled with surprise, thinking, "Wait a minute! What did this woman just say?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend... What does that mean?"

"Hehe, Young Master Lu was not only the renowned number one genius of Falling Star Academy in the past, but also had a deep grudge against the Wusheng Sect and its evil sects, their relationship was like fire and water. Now, naturally, he is also a friend of our Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance..."

Seemingly anticipating Lu Feng's doubts, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General smiled again and then said meaningfully.

"How...how did you know I'm from Falling Star Academy?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's expression also froze slightly, then he quickly pulled his hand away from the other's. "Wait a minute! I remember your Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance isn't exactly a righteous sect, is it?"

"Moreover, you members of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance have committed just as many acts of murder, arson, and other evil deeds...!"

"From what you're saying, you're implying that the Wusheng Sect is a group of unforgivable heretics, while your Tianyin Ghost Alliance is a group of righteous cultivators?"

Lu Feng looked at the Floating Duckweed Ghost General opposite him with a questioning expression.

"Hehe, what Young Master Lu said is correct."

Faced with Lu Feng's questioning, Floating Duckweed Ghost General did not refute, but merely smiled and then shook his head slightly, "We, the people of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance, are indeed not righteous cultivators, and we have taken quite a few lives on our hands, but one thing is one thing."

"Since Young Master Lu has chosen to be an enemy of the Wusheng Sect, he is now a friend of our Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance. Moreover, being on good terms with Young Master Lu is not necessarily a bad thing for our Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance..."

The Floating Duckweed Ghost General remained unhurried, clearly indicating that in his mind, the conflict between sects far outweighed the distinction between good and evil.

In order to deal with the rival Wusheng Sect, even Lu Feng, a righteous cultivator, was not spared from Fuping Ghost General to take the initiative to curry favor with him.

"I never imagined that although the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance and the Wusheng Sect are both evil forces, they are secretly sworn enemies, like fire and water..."

Hearing this, Lu Feng roughly understood the whole story.

Although the Wusheng Sect once dominated the Eastern Xuan Region and was almost at its zenith, it was at odds with the Tianyin Ghost Alliance, one of the evil forces in the Western Xuan Region, and they were mortal enemies.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the Floating Duckweed Ghost knows his origins and takes the initiative to befriend him.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.

"Young Master Lu, if there is nothing else, please allow me to take my leave."

He bowed slightly to Lu Feng once more, and the next moment, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General turned and left, seemingly having achieved his goal and having no intention of lingering in this villainous stronghold any longer.

"Floating Duckweed Maiden, wait!"

Seeing that the Floating Duckweed Ghost General was about to leave, Lu Feng subconsciously called out to stop him.

"Hehe, could it be that Young Master Lu is reluctant to see me leave?"

Turning around at the sound, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General looked at Lu Feng behind him with a provocative expression, and then instantly pressed himself against him, like a delicate and beautiful flower waiting for Lu Feng to pick it.

"Ahem! Miss Floating Duckweed, please don't tease me. There's just one thing I haven't confirmed yet...!"

Faced with the teasing of the Floating Duckweed Ghost General, Lu Feng also felt his mouth go dry. He quickly took a few steps back, barely managing to escape the former's delicate embrace.

After all, he dared not pick such a dangerous flower lightly, lest he lose his life in a heartbeat!

"What is it that you are referring to, Young Master Lu?"

Seeing Lu Feng retreating repeatedly, seemingly afraid to get too close, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General merely smiled knowingly and didn't take it to heart.

"Did you personally kill the former eldest daughter of the Bai family, along with her servants and maids who accompanied her in her dowry...?"

Before Lu Feng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Floating Duckweed Ghost General, who said, "Of course not."

"Although I serve the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance, my conduct is quite different from those murderous maniacs within the alliance. I have never engaged in such pointless activities..."

"As for Bai Qianqian, that girl died of lung disease last month. And the corpse puppets needed to disguise the entire wedding procession were just dug up by me from a mass grave. Young Master Lu, please don't misunderstand me..."

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng felt a sudden sense of relief for some reason.

Perhaps, he is ultimately a compassionate person.

Moreover, the thought of not being able to save the "Bai Qianqian" disguised as a corpse puppet still left Lu Feng feeling a burning anger in his heart. It wasn't until he heard the true cause of Bai Qianqian's death that he gradually felt relieved.

"Hehe, Young Master Lu, you are truly an interesting man..."

Seeing the change in Lu Feng's expression, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General also smiled, seemingly guessing what the other was thinking.

"It's a pity that I cannot continue traveling with Young Master Lu; I must take my leave now..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Floating Duckweed Ghost General transformed into a wisp of black and white mist and drifted away, leaving Lu Feng standing there dumbfounded.

"Am I an interesting man?"

"What does that sentence mean?"

"If I heard correctly, could she be saying that I'm an interesting person?"

Gazing in the direction the Floating Duckweed Ghost General had departed, Lu Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Wait a minute! Women have always liked to speak in riddles. She probably didn't mean I'm interesting as a person, but rather that she's interested in me?"

"That's right! That must be it, she definitely has feelings for me...!"
