468: sworn brotherhood
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, he hadn't forcefully subdued Miss Jin Wu just now, otherwise, it really might have caused big trouble.
He looked at the Fire Kirin and said, "So that's how it is.
Then what should I do now?
I can't just keep Miss Jin Wu imprisoned here, can I?"
The Fire Kirin, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, my cousin always bullies me, and today I've finally gotten my revenge.
You want a True Spirit's Natal Flame, don't you?
Just ask her for a wisp as a condition, wouldn't that be fine!"
Lin Feng, after listening, felt this was a good idea.
He looked at Miss Jin Wu and said with a smile, "Miss Jin Wu, what do you think of this?
If you give me a wisp of your True Spirit's Natal Flame, I will let you go, how about it?"
Miss Jin Wu, upon hearing this, widened her eyes.
She hadn't expected Lin Feng to make such a request.
One must know that the True Spirit's Natal Flame is the lifeblood of the True Spirit Race, but a wisp wouldn't cause her too much harm.
Still, she couldn't just give it to him because he asked, could she?
But then she reconsidered; she was currently captured, her life and death in his hands.
If she didn't agree, she might really lose her life.
Moreover, just a wisp of True Spirit's Natal Flame would not significantly impact her strength.
Thinking of this, Miss Jin Wu gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, I agree.
But you must promise to release me after you get the flame."
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, was delighted and quickly nodded, saying, "Miss Jin Wu, don't worry, I keep my word.
As soon as you give me a wisp of your True Spirit's Natal Flame, I will immediately let you go."
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, ready to receive Miss Jin Wu's flame.
Miss Jin Wu, seeing this, no longer hesitated.
She opened her small mouth and spat out a wisp of golden flame.
The flame, like a golden lightning bolt, instantly flew into Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng felt a powerful force emanating from the flame, and he quickly circulated his Cultivation to suppress it within his body.
After obtaining the flame, he smiled and looked at Miss Jin Wu, saying, "Miss Jin Wu, I have received the flame.
You may leave now."
Miss Jin Wu, upon hearing this, wasted no more words, transforming into a golden light and instantly vanishing into the sky.
Lin Feng looked in the direction Miss Jin Wu had departed, smiled slightly, then turned to the Fire Kirin and said, "Lord Kirin, I truly thank you this time.
If not for you, I really wouldn't have been able to obtain this True Spirit's Natal Flame."
The Fire Kirin, upon hearing this, laughed heartily and said, "Lin Feng, you are too polite.
We are now friends who have faced life and death together, so helping each other is only right."
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that while this Fire Kirin had a somewhat childlike Heart-Nature, it was still very reliable at critical moments.
He looked at the Fire Kirin and said, "Lord Kirin, then let us part ways here.
If fate allows, we shall meet again in the future."
The Fire Kirin, upon hearing this, shook his head and said, "My cousin and I just ganged up on my cousin.
The old guys in the clan definitely won't let me off.
How about this, I find you pleasing to the eye, let's become sworn brothers.
I'll accompany you to search for the True Spirit's Natal Flame.
With me, Lord Kirin, around, who wouldn't give me some Face?"
Lin Feng, upon hearing the Fire Kirin's words, was deeply moved.
He hadn't expected this Fire Kirin to propose becoming sworn brothers with him.
But then he reconsidered, with the Fire Kirin as a powerful ally, his Dao in the Cultivation World would undoubtedly be much smoother.
Thus, he smiled and said, "Lord Kirin, it is truly my honor to become sworn brothers with you.
Then, instead of choosing a day, why not make it today?
How about we become sworn brothers right here?"
The Fire Kirin, upon hearing this, laughed loudly and said, "Good, Lin Feng, you are indeed a straightforward person.
Then let us swear by heaven and earth to become sworn brothers."
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, raised a front paw, and pointed it at the sky.
Lin Feng, seeing this, also quickly knelt on the ground, raised his right hand, and swore to heaven with the Fire Kirin.
"I, Fire Kirin Ruiming, am willing to become sworn brothers with Lin Feng, to share blessings and endure hardships together, not seeking to be born on the same year, month, and day, but only to die on the same year, month, and day."
Lin Feng also followed with an oath, "I, Lin Feng, am willing to become sworn brothers with Fire Kirin Ruiming, to share blessings and endure hardships together, not seeking to be born on the same year, month, and day, but only to die on the same year, month, and day."
After the oaths were completed, the two stood up, exchanged smiles, and an indescribable tacit understanding flowed between them.
Fire Kirin Ruiming patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said, "Brother Lin Feng, since we are already sworn brothers, how old are you?"
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, smiled and replied, "I am seven thousand eight hundred years old this year.
May I ask your esteemed age, Elder brother?"
Fire Kirin Ruiming, upon hearing this, laughed heartily and said, "I am already twelve thousand years old this year, quite a bit older than you.
However, Cultivation knows no age, and age is merely a number.
From now on, let us address each other as brothers and jointly roam this Cultivation World!"
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, also laughed heartily, feeling that although this Fire Kirin had a somewhat childlike personality, he was very generous and a good friend worth befriending.
He patted the Fire Kirin's back and said, "Elder brother is right, Cultivation knows no age.
Let us join hands and advance together, exploring this Cultivation World!"
The Fire Kirin, upon hearing this, had a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
He hadn't expected to find a long-lost sense of kinship and friendship in this Human Race Cultivator.
He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin Feng, since we are already sworn brothers, you are my kin.
From now on, if you need any help, just speak up, and I, Fire Kirin Ruiming, will do my utmost to assist you!"
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that although this Fire Kirin appeared fierce, he was very kind-hearted and valued loyalty and righteousness.
He looked at the Fire Kirin and said, "Elder brother, rest assured, I, Lin Feng, am not an ungrateful person.
From now on, if you need anything from me, just speak up, and I will do my best."
The two exchanged smiles.
At this moment, the Fire Kirin's mountain-like body rapidly shrank, and the Fire Kirin Ruiming, only three zhang tall, looked majestic yet adorable.
He looked at Lin Feng, his eyes gleaming with sincerity, and said, "Brother Lin Feng, let's run quickly, otherwise, if those old guys from my clan catch up, we'll be in trouble.
Although I'm not afraid of them, being nagged is very annoying."
Lin Feng, upon hearing this, also nodded and said, "Elder brother is right, then let's leave this place now."
Thus, the two transformed into two streaks of light and instantly vanished into the Blazing Flame Valley.
They sped along, not daring to stop for a moment.
After all, the Elders of the Fire Kirin's clan were powerful, and if they really caught up, there would likely be a fierce battle.
But fortunately, the two encountered no obstacles along the way and successfully left the area where the Blazing Flame Valley was located.
