41: Chapter 41 Nine Yang Limitless Skill, Third-Order Great Demon Huang Fugui

The next day, the news of the Painted Skin Demon being insta-killed by "King of Hell Lin" spread throughout the Demon Suppression Division once again.

This time, no one felt shocked anymore.

Everyone had become numb.

In their eyes, there seemed to be no demon or ghost in this world that King of Hell Lin couldn't solve with a single strike.

If there was, then two strikes.

And Lin Feng also got his wish, receiving the generous rewards for the four-star mission.

Twenty thousand merit points!

This made his pockets bulge once again.

At the same time, Miss Ling Yueer, the daughter of the City Lord's Manor, also officially launched her grand "Pursue King of Hell Lin" plan.

She mobilized almost the entire strength of the City Lord's Manor to launch a 360-degree, no-dead-angle "sweet offensive" against Lin Feng.

In the morning, as soon as Lin Feng opened his door, there would inevitably be a table of Spiritual Qi breakfast worth a thousand gold pieces, meticulously prepared by the head chef of the City Lord's Manor.

At noon, when Lin Feng was taking missions at the Mission Hall, Miss Ling Yueer would inevitably be like a personal maid, serving tea, pouring water, and massaging his shoulders and legs.

In the evening, when Lin Feng returned to the courtyard to rest, Miss Ling Yueer would move a small stool and sit at his door, calling it "acting as a Protector for Big Brother Lin," but in reality, she was resting her chin on her hands, acting like a lovestruck fan.

This commotion turned the entire Demon Suppression Division upside down, making everyone look askance.

Everyone looked at Lin Feng with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing they could take his place.

That was the daughter of the City Lord's Manor!

The number one "rich and beautiful" lady of Nanyan Prefecture!

As long as one married her, they could just lie flat for the rest of their life and reach the Peak of life!

However, facing this "happiness" that could drive any man crazy, Lin Feng's own reaction was...

"Annoying."

He just felt like his head was twice its size.

He didn't need these things.

What he needed were demons!

Bandits!

Those "cuties" that he could slash for experience!

Not a "burden" who pestered him all day, chattering away and affecting his efficiency in grinding mobs!

Finally, after Miss Ling Yueer had harassed him for three consecutive days, Lin Feng reached the limit of his patience.

That day, when Miss Ling Yueer once again held a bouquet of "Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Flowers," which were said to be gathered from the depths of the Myriad Demon Mountain Range and could bring the dead back to life, and presented them to him.

Lin Feng looked at her expressionlessly and said calmly:

"Miss Ling Yueer, please don't come to bother me again in the future."

"Ah? Why?"

The smile on Miss Ling Yueer's face froze, and she said aggrievedly, "Big Brother Lin, do you hate me?"

"I just feel that we aren't suitable."

"Where are we not suitable? I can change!"

"You are too noisy."

"I can stop talking!"

"You are too weak."

"I... I..."

Miss Ling Yueer was choked into silence by this K.O.-style statement; her eyes reddened, and tears began to well up again.

"I... I can become stronger! Big Brother Lin, why don't you teach me how to Cultivate? As long as I can stay by your side, I'm willing to do anything you ask!"

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Lin Feng felt no waves in his heart and even felt a bit like laughing.

He shook his head and uttered a "Straight Man's Quote" that could be recorded in history.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in women."

"I'm only interested in... slashing monsters."

Lin Feng's earth-shattering "Straight Man's Declaration" was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake, instantly causing an uproar within the entire Demon Suppression Division.

"Holy crap! What did I just hear? King of Hell Lin said he's not interested in women?!"

"He's only interested in slashing monsters? My god, what kind of fresh and refined reason is this? Is that something a human can say?"

"No wonder he's so strong! It turns out he spent all the time others use for romance on grinding mobs! A role model for our generation! A true role model!"

"Wuwuwu... my heart is broken! I thought Lord Lin was aloof and cold, but I didn't expect him to... he's actually single by his own strength!"

All the Demon Slayers, regardless of gender, were deeply shocked.

As for Miss Ling Yueer, she was directly petrified on the spot.

She stared blankly at Lin Feng, her mind a complete blank.

Not interested in women?

Only interested in slashing monsters?

This... what kind of shocking words are these?

In all her years, this was the first time she had been rejected for such a reason!

Moreover, she actually... couldn't find any reason to refute him!

Because what he said was the truth!

Looking at Lin Feng's cold face that screamed "Don't touch me, I need to work," Miss Ling Yueer's grievance and unwillingness instantly turned into... an unprecedented, strong competitive spirit!

"Fine! Fine, Lin Feng!"

Miss Ling Yueer wiped away her tears; instead of being discouraged, she clenched her small fists with high morale.

"Isn't it just that you think I'm weak, noisy, and can't help you slash monsters?!"

"This Young Miss is putting it out there today! From today on, I'm going into seclusion! I'm going to Cultivate! I'm going to become stronger!"

"When I come out of seclusion, I will definitely become even better at slashing than you! When that time comes, let's see what reason you have to reject me!"

After saying that, she picked up the flowers from the ground and turned to leave without looking back, her vigorous figure even carrying a bit of tragic color.

A grand drama of pursuit ended temporarily in such an unexpected way.

Lin Feng also finally found some peace and quiet.

He walked into the Armory once again.

It was still the same Goatee Old Man; seeing Lin Feng now, besides reverence, there was a hint of... sympathy in his eyes.

"Lord Lin, you're here again?"

"Yes, to exchange for a Cultivation Technique."

Lin Feng handed over his token and merit point vouchers.

"Sigh..."

The old man sighed, and while processing the formalities, he said with a complex tone:

"The path of martial arts is important, of course. But romance is also a part of life's scenery. That daughter of the City Lord's Manor has the looks, the background, and is devoted to you. Why must you..."

Lin Feng interrupted calmly, "Before I can insta-kill an Earthly Immortal with one strike, talking about love is too much of a waste of time."

Goatee Old Man: "..."

He felt that at his age, he had lived his life in vain.

Lin Feng didn't bother with this meddling fellow and walked straight to the third floor of the Armory.

This time, his goal was clear.

A Cultivation Technique more Advanced than the "Heaven-Burning Sun Art"!

Above the True Qi Realm is the Danyuan Realm.

To condense a Danyuan, a powerful Cultivation Technique is an indispensable foundation.

Soon, on the top shelf of that solitary black bookshelf, he found an ancient Secret Manual sealed in a purple jade box, emitting an extremely Yang and firm Aura.

On the cover of the Secret Manual, four large characters were written in a flamboyant style.

"Nine Yang Infinite Art"!

The upgraded version of the "Heaven-Burning Sun Art".

This Cultivation Technique is the ultimate manifestation of the Pure Yang Dao; the practitioner needs to possess an Extreme Yang Body.

When Cultivated to Major Achievement, one can condense the Nine Yang Danyuan, burning mountains and boiling seas with boundless power!

Exchange price: 20000 merit points.

"This is the one!"

Lin Feng's eyes sparkled with a burning light, and he completed the exchange without hesitation.

With the Cultivation Technique in hand, the next step was to Cultivate.

But Cultivation takes time, and the fastest way to increase strength was still...

Grinding mobs.

He turned his gaze toward the Mission Hall once again.

However, to his disappointment, after his "frenzied harvesting" some time ago, the high-star missions in the Mission Hall were almost completely cleared by him.

The remaining ones were all one-star missions like finding cats and dogs or investigating neighborhood disputes, with pitifully few merit points.

Lin Feng considered whether he should go out for a stroll himself.

Just then, a familiar voice boomed in his mind!

"Master! Master! This little one is back!!"

Rumble!

Before the voice could fade, yellow winds howled outside the Demon Suppression Division, blotting out the sun!

A terrifying Demonic Qi, so powerful it was suffocating, descended like a storm without warning!

The Demonic Qi was so dense that it caused the clouds to change color and the heavens and earth to fall silent!

The entire Demon Suppression Division immediately sounded the highest Rank alarm!

"Enemy attack! A Great Demon is attacking!"

Countless Demon Slayers rushed out from their respective residences, standing ready with faces full of horror and solemnity.

Even the Chief Manager was startled; his figure flickered, appearing in the sky above the courtyard, looking solemnly toward the source of the overwhelming yellow wind.

With such power, the newcomer was not friendly!

And Lin Feng, the moment he heard that voice, was first stunned, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

In the center of the yellow wind filling the sky, a streak of light descended from the sky at a speed comparable to lightning, landing precisely in front of Lin Feng.

That arrogant and domineering Demonic Qi came and went quickly; as the streak of light landed, it vanished instantly.

The light dissipated, revealing a...

A Weasel standing upright, wearing a tattered Taoist robe that was clearly a size too large, with shifty eyes, bowing and scraping, its face covered in a fawning smile.

It still had that sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked look, but the demon's entire temperament had undergone an earth-shaking change.

Its pair of tiny green-bean eyes were now sparkling and full of spirit.

Although the terrifying pressure belonging to a Third-Order Peak Great Demon had been restrained, it still made the surrounding air freeze.

It was precisely Huang Fugui, returning from seclusion!

The overbearing Aura from its entrance just now formed an extremely sharp contrast with its current wretched and fawning appearance.

It looked at Lin Feng, moved to tears, and immediately prostrated itself, bowing with its whole body on the ground.

"Your unfilial descendant Huang Fugui pays respects to the Old Ancestor! May the Old Ancestor enjoy eternal celestial bliss and live as long as the heavens!"

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division: "..."
