107: I just want to ask you whether you want to invest or not?

“So, your current plan is to never leave the Ice Palace?”

Wang Feng's gaze had already changed; what intelligent person, fake! All fake!

“Otherwise, what? I’ve heard the Cultivation World is extremely dangerous, and the Female Disciples in the palace often talk about the demonic cultivators they’ve killed.”

“When they tell me, I can only try to maintain the cold and aloof demeanor they expect from my original self, silently smiling and nodding in response.”

“Do you know what?! I’m truly so tired of pretending, I’m exhausted, I really want to…”

“Die?”

Wang Feng looked up, frowning, and spoke the word he expected.

“I don’t want to die! I really want to eat the delicacies of Blue Star.”

“Wuwuwu~”

As she spoke, Leng Ningyue seemed to start crying again for some unknown reason, snot running down her face.

“Wah~, Big Sister, can you please stop crying?!”

Wang Feng helplessly slapped his forehead. He was truly exasperated. He thought this was an intelligent person, but it turned out to be a fool. He couldn’t bear to look.

Didn’t the Three Supreme Elders of the Ice Palace notice?

Wang Feng felt a bit doubtful. Had those three Old friends really gone senile?

Little did he know why Leng Ningyue was so aggrieved and fearful.

It was because she had been searched countless times, whether by the Three Supreme Elders of the Ice Palace, her Master, or other Elders.

She had no idea how many times her Sea of Consciousness had been searched. The most extreme time was when she was seized by the Second Grand Elder and had her soul searched.

When the Elders discovered that the memories extracted were blank, they finally felt relieved.

It seemed that her memory had indeed been damaged for some unknown reason, leading to a fragmented soul, which was why she seemed like a different person.

That soul search alone left Leng Ningyue in a daze for dozens of days. The pain involved was self-evident.

She dared to say that the agonizing sensation was definitely no less, and perhaps hundreds of times stronger, than the brain electroshock therapy of the Thunder Electric King.

After waking up from her dozens of days of daze, she was terrified, fearing that one wrong move would lead to her demise.

“Do you know what it’s like outside the Cultivation World?”

Although Leng Ningyue didn’t dare to go out, she still longed for the outside. She had been tired of staying in the Ice Palace for these past years.

“What else could it be like? Strength is revered. As long as you’re strong, you can kill whoever you want.”

“Ah?”

Leng Ningyue gasped, even though she had long known this in her heart.

“Let me tell you, for someone as beautiful as you, if you’re not careful and lose to an enemy…”

“Then you’ll only face two outcomes. You can imagine what they are. Tsk tsk tsk.”

As Wang Feng spoke, he gave her a meaningful glance, which scared Leng Ningyue into pulling her clothes tighter around herself.

“So, do you have a cheat finger or not?”

Wang Feng asked the question he had been wanting to ask, and the one Leng Ningyue had not mentioned.

“No, since I transmigrated, besides the original host’s identity and cultivation, I have nothing.”

Wang Feng nodded thoughtfully at her words. It seemed she was another unfortunate soul, or… was she hiding something?

“If you’re hiding something from me, while I can’t do anything about it now, it definitely won’t be good for you. So, I hope you think carefully.”

Wang Feng’s eyes narrowed, and he used a intimidating tone to scare Leng Ningyue.

(PS: Here, let’s explain why the protagonist dares to threaten a Saintess whose cultivation is higher than his. First: He has trump cards and can ensure his own safety. Second: This is the Ice Palace, and his master is his wife. Third: He has the potential of an Emperor, and the Three Supreme Elders will definitely protect him. This is his capital.)

If she had been pretending all this time, then this person was very cunning, and a definite threat to Wang Feng.

“No! I swear on my Dao Heart, since transmigrating, I absolutely have no cheat finger or anything of the sort.”

To Wang Feng’s surprise, Leng Ningyue immediately swore on her Dao Heart, which dispelled some of his suspicions about her.

Even if Leng Ningyue had transmigrated, she was probably just a frog at the bottom of a well. She hadn’t killed anyone and hadn’t left the Ice Palace.

How could she grow like that? She blabbered everything out without any guard when she met him, an Old friend she hadn't seen before.

Like a female college student. Oh, no, according to the story she told, she was indeed a female college student.

If such a person encountered a lawless transmigrator, she would probably be tricked into willingly losing her body and foolishly giving him a pile of resources.

However, Leng Ningyue’s ability to live peacefully for so long was also due to the Ice Palace.

Wang Feng had seen the most tragic female transmigrator without a cheat finger; she was captured and sold to such a place.

She wanted to die but couldn’t; it was simply worse than death.

By the time Wang Feng casually rescued her, she was already somewhat delirious.

At her request, he delivered the last punch of her life.

“Have you ever leaked your identity as a transmigrator?”

Wang Feng pondered for a moment, then continued to ask Leng Ningyue.

“No. When I saw that the Three Supreme Elders couldn’t detect any information during my soul search, I simply decided not to say anything.”

“I have read some novels, so I’m not that foolish.”

Leng Ningyue answered Wang Feng’s question. She realized that she was supposed to be asking Wang Feng questions, but somehow, he had slowly taken over.

“Hmm~, indeed, indeed, you are very clever.”

Wang Feng scratched the corner of his mouth, giving Leng Ningyue a thumbs-up with a look that suggested she was an idiot.

Hearing Wang Feng’s praise, Leng Ningyue actually felt a little giddy.

“Good, just don’t leak the news that I’m a transmigrator.”

“Otherwise, I can guarantee that the Palace Master and the Three Supreme Elders won’t do anything to me.”

“But you, you will definitely wish you were dead.”

Wang Feng finished speaking and quietly observed Leng Ningyue’s reaction. In truth, he was also a bit unsure and was just bluffing her.

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

Leng Ningyue quickly waved her hands, thinking that this good-looking Old friend was not friendly at all, constantly threatening her.

“Can you use spells now? Do you have many resources?”

After a moment of silence, Wang Feng took a sip of wine and asked Leng Ningyue the most important question again.

He was acting like a villain now, interrogating a prisoner, just short of torture.

However, this was also Wang Feng’s lingering trauma. He had been tricked by transmigrators countless times before.

Although he had always counter-killed them, it still left a shadow in his heart.

“Yes! As for resources, they’re decent. I haven’t been living in vain since I transmigrated.”

“So, you’re saying that since you transmigrated, everything has grown except your brain, right?”

Wang Feng’s words stunned Leng Ningyue, who had been on the verge of tears.

She thought, ‘Does this person even know how to talk?!’

“Many is good. My funds are a bit tight lately, so invest some resources in me. When I get rich, I’ll take you with me.”

This was the true meaning of Wang Feng’s words; the previous sentence was just a polite formality.

“Didn’t I just give you some?”

Leng Ningyue was a bit surprised. Why was he asking her for resources again?

“Wasn’t that a meeting gift?”

“Wah~, how can you be like this?!”

Leng Ningyue was almost so angry she wanted to jump up and slap Wang Feng, but she had only just managed to meet an Old friend.

“I’m currently protected by the Palace Master, who is my Master. If you pay protection fees, I’ll protect you, which means you’ll also be protected by the Palace Master, understand?”

Leng Ningyue pondered this, frowning in thought.

“Just tell me if you’ll invest or not. If not, I won’t force you.”

Wang Feng presented the choice, letting Leng Ningyue decide for herself, as he couldn’t force her anyway.
