467: Chapter 477, the Inner Volume!

When Su Feng saw Zhu Nanrong with her resolute expression with his own eyes, he could not help but sigh with emotion once again.

That woman Qiao Miaotong was truly capable!

Before he had even spoken, she had actually arranged his goals for him clearly and thoroughly.

"It seems... after getting through this busy period, I really need to properly 'reward' her." Su Feng calculated inwardly.

Qiao Miaotong and Yu Niaoniao's Dual Cultivation, coupled with the critical strike from the System's previous feedback, had provided him with a cultivation infusion of nearly one hundred thousand years in total.

Although it was not a small amount, there was still a huge gap of three hundred thousand years away from a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm Peak.

Time was pressing, and the Demon Mother Nest would not wait for him to take his time; he had to seize every Opportunity!

"You shall return with me first."

Su Feng did not linger long in the outside world, waving his large sleeve and directly bringing Zhu Nanrong into his inner world.

As soon as the two of them landed, before Su Feng could speak, Zhu Nanrong anxiously turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Feng as she spoke at a very fast pace:

"Su Feng, I want to know, how many resources did Qiao Miaotong and Yu Niaoniao actually give you in exchange for this Opportunity?"

On the way over here, Zhu Nanrong's mind had already calculated it numerous times.

She had already made up her mind that no matter what price those two women offered, the stakes she, Zhu Nanrong, offered would definitely be higher than theirs!

Even if she had to smash her pots and sell her iron, she absolutely could not be suppressed by that vixen Qiao Miaotong in this battle for supremacy!

Watching Zhu Nanrong's expression as if she were facing a formidable enemy, Su Feng found it amusing in his heart and did not hide it either.

He casually took out the jade slip inscribed by Yu Niaoniao and handed it over: "This is the inventory given by Yu Niaoniao; you can take a look."

Zhu Nanrong snatched the jade slip, her Divine Sense casually probing it, and then her whole body suddenly gasped in cold air, her hands even trembling slightly.

"This... this must be a joke?! Is Lingshui Pavilion hers alone? How dare she even give away the sect-suppressing imperial weapon?!!"

Zhu Nanrong widened her eyes, and her sense of crisis toward Yu Niaoniao instantly reached its absolute Peak.

She had originally thought Qiao Miaotong was deep and scheming, but she never expected that Yu Niaoniao, who usually looked dignified and noble, was actually a ruthless person who dared to gamble the destiny of her entire clan!

But upon second thought, Zhu Nanrong became relieved again.

If she could use this Opportunity to achieve a Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Great Emperor Realm and become a true Peak combat power in the Great Thousand Star Domain, then the things sent out today could indeed be taken back in the future.

This deal was not only not a loss, but rather a massive profit!

Zhu Nanrong took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes flashing with resolution as she raised her head to look at Su Feng.

"Su Feng! I do not have as much flashy heritage as her! But starting today, the entire Winter Abyss hereafter, both its people and its territory, will entirely belong to the Su Family!! I will also place myself under your command together with it!"

Hearing this, Su Feng almost could not help laughing out loud.

Was this the ultimate charm of involution?

No wonder the capitalists of his past life all liked watching their subordinate employees engage in involution.

Clearly it was a win-win transaction that benefited everyone, but because of Qiao Miaotong, that "catfish" stirring up the situation, the threshold was forcefully raised to an absurd degree.

At the very beginning, everyone only wanted to exchange their primordial yin for a Breakthrough.

Later on, Yu Niaoniao brought capital into the group and took out more than half of her treasury.

Now it was even better: in order not to fall behind others, Zhu Nanrong directly flipped the table, wanting neither her people nor her household, and directly working for Su Feng for free!

Watching Zhu Nanrong, whose eyes had turned red from competing, Su Feng shook his head, reached out to take back the jade slip in her hand, and his gaze became gentle.

"Nanrong, between you and me, there is no need for this. Based solely on the affection between Hao'er and Zhiqiu, the Winter Abyss is inherently an ally of the Su Family; how could I possibly covet your meager territory?"

Su Feng paused, his tone turning somewhat helpless, "And... the Breakthrough Opportunity you spoke of, presumably Qiao Miaotong and the others did not reveal the details of it to you, right?"

Zhu Nanrong nodded, her expression somewhat suspicious: "I know this Opportunity has a direct relationship with you, but I... I am not afraid of hardship!"

"Sigh..." Su Feng let out a long sigh.

"It is not easy for me to explain too much with words. Here is a snippet of memories I intercepted regarding the cause and effect when Yu Niaoniao came to me to seek the Opportunity; you can take a look at it yourself first."

Su Feng once again deployed his Shadow Emperor-level acting skills, showing a helpless and somewhat unspeakable expression, and then extended his finger to lightly tap Zhu Nanrong's smooth forehead.

Buzz—

A stream of Divine Sense memories, carefully edited by Su Feng, was instantly instilled into Zhu Nanrong's mind.

A moment later, Zhu Nanrong abruptly opened her eyes, and her originally jade-white cheeks instantly turned as red as a burning cloud all the way to the roots of her ears, even her slender neck glowing with a pinkish flush!

"How could it... how could it be like this?!"

Zhu Nanrong could completely no longer hold herself together.

She never expected that the so-called Breakthrough Opportunity...

Turned out to be Su Feng himself!

Thinking of those blushing and ear-burning details within the edited memory images, her vow just moments ago to endure it completely shattered all over the floor.

When affection reached its height, things falling naturally into place was one thing, but conducting an interest exchange for the sake of a Breakthrough in her Realm was an entirely different matter!

Although Zhu Nanrong had a cold personality, what she wanted was to become a true Dao Companion with Su Feng, rather than treating herself as a tradable bargaining chip for advancement like Yu Niaoniao.

"You... you do not need to feel embarrassed."

Su Feng turned around at the right time, leaving Zhu Nanrong with a righteous back, "I told you outside just now, you and them... are different!"

Zhu Nanrong's heart skipped a beat, and looking at Su Feng's broad back, she subconsciously blurted out:

"How am I... different from them?"

Su Feng slightly turned his face sideways, his deep eyes seeming somewhat drifting, as if he were deliberately concealing the deepest emotions in his heart.

"They came to me for a Breakthrough."

Su Feng's voice was low and hoarse, yet it exuded a Soul-striking deep affection: "And the reason why I treated your legs back then and was all along unwilling to help you Breakthrough using this method..."

"It is because I truly want to forge a life-and-death Dao Companion bond with you, without mixing in even a trace of calculated interests!"

After saying this, Su Feng directly turned his head back, keeping his back to her, leaving behind a desolate and lonely silhouette.

Boom—!

Zhu Nanrong's inner self was completely shaken!

Who was Su Feng?!

He was the legendary man who had relied on his own strength to Breakthrough the "Seven-Color Illusion" in the Winter Abyss Cage!

That kind of man who possessed numerous virtues such as absolute purity, kindness, and boundless great love was actually truly deeply in love with her from the bottom of his heart?!

At this very moment, the gold content of the yellow illusion was still soaring!

She even felt deep shame and self-blame for her earlier thought of trying to measure this relationship with material interests.

"Su Feng..."

Zhu Nanrong's eye sockets were slightly red, and all her pride, misgivings, and reserve were completely worn away in front of Su Feng.

She did not feel that Su Feng was deceiving her. Looking at the figure before her that seemed to bear the weight of the entire world, Zhu Nanrong lightly pursed her red lips, shifted her lotus steps, and tightly embraced him from behind.

She pressed her cheek against Su Feng's broad back, her voice trembling slightly yet extremely firm:

"I'm sorry... I was too foolish."

"Su Feng, if it is you... I am willing."

... Sigh ...

Half a day later, within the immortal palace, Spiritual Qi surged violently.

Cultivation feedback increased by fifty-five thousand years!
