Chapter 74 The Token of Love with Ling Luochen
Lin Feng quickly found Ling Luochen and Xixi on Poseidon Island. Both of them looked much better.
"Seniors, are your injuries much better now?" Lin Feng immediately asked with concern.
"Yes, much better. Thank you for your concern, Xiaofeng." Ling Luochen nodded gently, her voice as cool as ever, but her eyes softened.
"I'm fine now," Xixi replied.
Lin Feng felt relieved and took out two items from his storage soul tool. In his left hand was a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear, and constantly emitting wisps of cold air, set in a platinum necklace; in his right hand was the same Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle Bone that Jiang Nannan had.
"Such pure ice attribute aura—what is this?" Ling Luochen's gaze was immediately drawn to the crystal shrouded in cold air, and she could feel the faint resonance of ice attribute soul power within her body.
"This is called Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal. It's taken from a 100,000-year-old Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass, condensed from the essence of the Frigid Ice Spring of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Wearing it can accelerate the cultivation speed of ice-type soul masters. If suitable materials are found in the future, embedding it into a weapon can even imbue the weapon with the power of extreme ice. This is a necklace I made for my senior sister myself, to make it easier for her to wear."
Lin Feng then introduced the immortal herb on his right hand: "Also, this is a 50,000-year-old Narcissus Jade Bone, with the mildest medicinal properties. It can nourish the meridians, strengthen the bones and muscles, and open up the meridians throughout the body. It is very suitable for Senior Sister Xixi's Lightning Leopard Martial Soul."
"This is too precious, we—" Ling Luochen looked at the shimmering, chilling yet incredibly alluring ice crystal before him, and a rare look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"Don't be so polite, senior," Lin Feng said sincerely. "We've been through thick and thin together, and I'll be asking for your help a lot in the future. I happen to have two of these octagonal Xuanbing Crystals, and one is just right for you. As for this Narcissus Jade Bone, its properties don't suit me, so it would be a waste for me to use it. It'll be most useful if you give it to Senior Xixi."
Hearing him say that, Ling Luochen's eyes flickered slightly, and she finally nodded gently: "————Okay. Then I'll take this ice crystal as a token of our betrothal." She actually wanted to say "token of love," but she didn't say it because Xixi was there.
Ever since the accident that happened when she absorbed the Xuanbing Spirit Flame from Lin Feng, and the intimate contact they had, she had quietly come to believe in certain things.
These two octagonal ice crystals, being a pair, held extraordinary significance for her.
Actually, Lin Feng thought the same thing, he just didn't say it outright. A grown man should be bold and take responsibility.
"Let me put it on for you." Lin Feng picked up the necklace.
"Mmm." Ling Luochen responded softly, took half a step forward, and lowered her head slightly. Lin Feng raised his hand, wrapped the necklace around her fair swan neck, and fastened it at the back.
Ice crystals landed on her collarbone skin, and a pure coolness quietly seeped in. Far from being cold, it made her soul power flow more lightly.
She took a half step back, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the crystal on her chest, then turned to look at Lin Feng. Her usually cool voice held a rare gentleness: "Is it pretty?"
"She looks good, she suits you perfectly, senior." Lin Feng nodded, his tone certain. The icy blue color complemented her jade-like skin and refined气质 (qi zhi - a combination of temperament, bearing, and aura), they were indeed a perfect match.
"Xiao Feng really knows how to talk." Ling Luo Chen's lips curved slightly. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stepped forward and quickly placed a light kiss on Lin Feng's lips.
"Senior Sister Xixi, this is your Narcissus Jade Bone." After savoring the warmth on his lips, Lin Feng turned around and handed the Narcissus Jade Bone to Xixi.
"Thank you so much—this is the second big favor I owe you," Xixi said frankly. She was never a talkative person, but she was straightforward.
As soon as she finished speaking, she sat down cross-legged on the spot, took the Narcissus Jade Bone and began to absorb it with concentration.
The gentle, mellow medicinal power spread through her body like a warm current, slowly nourishing her meridians and physique. Gradually, changes began to occur in her body.
The sharp, even somewhat hard, facial contours that had been honed through years of rigorous training have softened; her skin has gained a healthy glow, and her overall demeanor, while still sharp and capable, now exudes a striking and radiant charm.
She was originally just an ordinary-looking young woman, but now she has blossomed into a beautiful woman with delicate features and outstanding temperament, with short hair.
When Xixi opened her eyes, her gaze was bright. She quietly felt the abundant power within her body and her light body, her face full of joy.
Her soul power eventually stabilized at the threshold of level sixty.
"Xiao Feng, is there any more of this Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones?" Ling Luochen looked at Xixi, who had clearly become more beautiful, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He then turned to Lin Feng and teased, "I also want to become as beautiful as Xixi."
"Become more beautiful?" Xixi, who was standing next to her, paused for a moment when she heard this word, then realized what it meant. She quickly took out a small mirror from her storage container and held it up in front of her.
The face in the mirror was both familiar and strange. She touched her cheek with her finger, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"That's it, just this one. If I find another one next time, I'll definitely save it for my senior," Lin Feng replied honestly.
"Lin Feng—" At this moment, Xi Xi put down the mirror in her hand. She raised her head and looked straight at Lin Feng. His eyes, which always seemed calm and distant, were now full of tenderness.
She didn't say another word. Suddenly, she took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and gently kissed Lin Feng's cheek.
The kiss was brief and clear, carrying her faint, refreshing scent. It ended in an instant.
"Thank you, Lin Feng." Xi Xi took a step back, her cheeks slightly flushed, her voice soft yet exceptionally clear.
This was the first time she, with her reserved and passive personality, had so clearly and proactively expressed closeness and gratitude.
Lin Feng was also flattered and overwhelmed, not even noticing Ling Luochen standing to the side.
Before he could fully recover from Xixi's proactive kiss, he saw Ling Luochen lean in again.
"Xiaofeng, thank you." Ling Luochen's voice was still cold, but in her beautiful eyes, there was only jealousy caused by Xixi's actions just now.
After she finished speaking, she stood on tiptoe again and another kiss landed on her. This kiss was clearer and a little longer than the last, carrying the unique, cool, icy scent emanating from her.
Lin Feng froze for a moment, his mind going blank for a second.
No—didn't I already thank you when I put on the necklace? Oh well, the more the merrier.
After a brief farewell to the two, Lin Feng turned and walked towards Mingfeng Courtyard.
He didn't plan to go find Dai Yueheng, who was also a regular player.
Dai Yueheng, like Bei Bei, comes from an extraordinary background. He is the eldest son of Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, and presumably doesn't lack opportunities to obtain immortal herbs. Therefore, I won't offer him any.
Lin Feng found Yan Shaozhe and, without beating around the bush, briefly explained the distribution of the immortal herbs over the past two days, excluding Ling Luochen.
"Good lad," Yan Shaozhe raised an eyebrow after hearing this, looking him up and down. "You managed to pluck so many ancient herbs from the Yin-Yang Well and still stand here intact. You're quite capable."
He stroked his chin, quickly calculating: "Xiao Xiao is level 30, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng are all level 40, Jiang Nannan is level 50, and Xi Xi is level 60—this suddenly creates six more soul ring gaps. With less than a month until the competition, time is tight. I'll immediately arrange for people to take them hunting for suitable soul rings."
"Oh, right," Lin Feng added, "there's still a thousand-year-old Phoenix Sunflower over there that hasn't been absorbed yet."
"There's no rush," Yan Shaozhe explained. "The medicinal power of the 100,000-year-old scorching glue in her body hasn't fully dissipated yet. If she absorbs the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower now, there might be a conflict between the medicinal powers. Let's wait until after the competition, when her foundation is completely stable."
"Yes, teacher, please include me when you hunt for spirit rings," Lin Feng said.
"Sure," Yan Shaozhe nodded readily, a knowing smile on his face. "It's a good thing for you young people to get together, learn from each other, and cooperate effectively."
He looked at Lin Feng, seemingly lost in thought.
Ma Xiaotao, Xixi, Jiang Nannan, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao — and Wang Dong, who is dressed as a man.
Good heavens, this magical herb went around in circles and ended up in the hands of the female student. That kid—
Yan Shaozhe seemed to see his younger self in Lin Feng.
