Jin Feipeng's laughter grew louder as he accused Chi Manman of uttering such nonsensical words.
"And you even claim to know Xia Feng. Why don't you just say you're Xia Feng's woman? Wouldn't that be even more impressive?"
Xia Feng was the number one Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm. Although his name hadn't been heard before, he suddenly rose to prominence, becoming the foremost emperor.
There were even rumors that Xia Feng's strength was infinitely close to that of a god, and that he had taken in four demon emperors from the Myriad Demon Continent as his servants.
Could a magnificent, lightning-wielding, unparalleled figure in the Immortal Realm, with only one like him in the God Realm, be known by you, Chi Manman?
Especially someone from such an insignificant place like this? You claim to know Xia Feng?
This was like trying to chop off a certain part of oneself with a knife right on the spot. Jin Feipeng didn't believe it.
As Jin Feipeng shouted, more and more onlookers gathered. Some even pointed at Chi Manman, calling her shameless for trying to latch onto Xia Feng.
Chi Manman's face flushed red. She hadn't expected that her words would draw so much criticism and disdain.
"Do you believe me?" Chi Manman asked the two people protecting her, her last straw.
"Miss, please don't put us in a difficult position. We will protect you with our lives," one of the men said.
Chi Manman's face turned ashen. It seemed she was a complete laughingstock.
Even though she was speaking the truth, to others, it was pure fantasy, a dream of a fool.
"Hahaha... You're a good lad. My young master guarantees to spare your life," Jin Feipeng said to the man who had just spoken, quickly making a promise.
"Bah." The man did not appreciate the offer. He was a disciple of the Chi family and would rather die fighting to protect Chi Manman to the last moment.
He hadn't even considered surviving by any means.
To march forward resolutely even when facing certain death, that was the style of the Chi family.
Seeing that the man was ungrateful and even spat at him, Jin Feipeng's eyes turned cold. He raged, "Good advice is wasted on a stubborn fool. Since you're seeking death, I shall grant it. However, I've changed my mind. I want you to watch as I have my way with your young lady before you die."
"Shameless! Beast!" Chi Manman cursed furiously.
"Chi Manman, just tell me who else you know. Tell me everyone, and let's see if there's anyone else I know," Jin Feipeng said with a face full of mockery.
Chi Manman's face turned ashen, wearing an expression of someone ready to face death.
It seemed she couldn't escape this ordeal today.
After all, the Heavenly Void Palace was the most dominant sect in this region. Its ancestor was a powerful being in the late Immortal Empress stage. Compared to the Heavenly Void Palace, her Chi family was like an ant trying to shake an elephant.
No matter who came, they wouldn't be able to save her today, unless they believed she knew Xia Feng, and then they would let her go.
Unfortunately, her mention of Xia Feng had not only failed to deter them but had instead drawn a chorus of mockery.
Chi Manman closed her eyes, having made up her mind. She would never let Jin Feipeng succeed, even if it meant death.
"No one else? If there's no one else, then prepare to be favored by me," Jin Feipeng asked with a smile.
"I would rather die than let you succeed," Chi Manman said, a look of resolute determination appearing on her face.
Just then, a voice emerged from nowhere, the sound preceding the arrival of the person.
"Young Lady, long time no see. Why do I hear you talking about life and death the moment we meet?"
Xia Feng's voice was not loud, but it seemed to come from all directions.
Chi Manman was stunned by Xia Feng's sudden appearance; she was utterly dumbfounded.
That voice, like a dream, echoed in her mind, and waves of longing seemed to surge like a tide.
She was too familiar with this voice, more familiar than anyone could be.
She hadn't expected Xia Feng to reappear in her life in such a manner, still calling her "Young Lady" as he always did. Da Feng Novel Network.
Chi Manman felt as if she had returned to the days when she and Xia Feng went shopping together, the taciturn man being an Immortal Emperor.
Tears immediately welled up in Chi Manman's eyes, a surge of emotion rising from the depths of her heart.
As for why she was moved, she couldn't quite explain it herself.
Perhaps she was moved that Xia Feng had appeared at the critical moment of her life and death.
Jin Feipeng frowned. Who else was here seeking death?
Xia Feng had just called Chi Manman "Young Lady." Wasn't this someone from the Chi family looking for death?
As soon as Xia Feng finished speaking, the crowd automatically parted, and Xia Feng slowly walked over.
The onlookers were somewhat bewildered. They themselves didn't know why they had spontaneously cleared a path, but a suppressed urge compelled them to make way for the distinguished-looking man.
Jin Feipeng narrowed his eyes, looking at Xia Feng, who dared to approach alone. He laughed and said, "Another one coming to his death."
Xia Feng ignored Jin Feipeng and walked to Chi Manman's side, asking, "Young Lady, how have you been lately?"
Chi Manman wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve and replied softly, "As you can see. If you hadn't appeared, I certainly wouldn't be well. It seems you've come to watch a show."
"That won't do. I received immortal stones from your father, so I must be responsible for protecting you well," Xia Feng said with a smile that felt like a warm spring breeze.
Seeing Xia Feng arrive, Chi Manman felt her heart completely at ease.
Chi Manman, who had been prepared to die moments ago, now completely relaxed.
With Xia Feng present, no one in the entire Immortal Realm could make her die.
This was the genuine number one emperor of the Immortal Realm, Xia Feng.
Jin Feipeng, unaware of the impending disaster, saw that Chi Manman seemed to have some sort of affair with Xia Feng.
After all, Chi Manman was crying and laughing upon seeing Xia Feng. Anyone who saw it would find it disgusting.
He had been talking to her for so long, threatening and menacing her, and she was smiling at this man?
Jin Feipeng had heard clearly just now that Xia Feng had taken money from Chi Manman's father to protect her. Wasn't he just a good-for-nothing then?
What kind of powerful expert could Chi Manman's family afford to protect her?
Jin Feipeng himself was a mere golden immortal, a low-level fighter. He couldn't discern Xia Feng's strength at all. He looked at a man beside him and asked, "What is this brat's strength?"
"Replying to Young Master, he is at the late stage of the Immortal Lord realm," the man quickly answered.
Late stage Immortal Lord?
Oh, that's not bad. He's stronger than your father, and so young too.
No wonder Chi Manman was acting so desperately, throwing herself at him.
However, Jin Feipeng was unfazed. A late stage Immortal Lord was nothing in his eyes. Jin Feipeng then laughed loudly, "So, it's a bodyguard eloping with the young lady? Haha..."
Jin Feipeng truly didn't expect to encounter such a scenario.
It was utterly hilarious.
Chi Manman's face turned red upon hearing this, her expression filled with anger. She shouted, "Jin Feipeng, how dare you disrespect an Immortal Emperor? He is Xia Feng, the number one emperor of the Immortal Realm, Xia Feng."
