47: Chu Feng, are you a devil?
The sky had already turned to night at some unknown time.
A silvery moonlight glow spilled over this jagged mountain peak.
"Chu Feng!!! I'll kill you!!!"
Accompanied by a shrill cry, the silver light, like a spotlight, converged on the transparent outline floating out of the bronze small door, illuminating Gu Yan's appearance.
Bai Xin'er's peach blossom eyes narrowed, and a look of astonishment appeared on her tender, flawless face. She blurted out, "Gu Yan??"
Chu Feng smiled faintly, "Surprised? Unexpected?"
"How could he be an artifact spirit?"
Bai Xin'er's heart was shocked to the extreme.
Chu Feng observed the fox-tailed girl's astonished expression with interest.
Her fair and tender features, due to the widening of her peach blossom eyes, looked adorably bewildered.
Even more interestingly, a blush like an evening glow quietly crept onto White Heart's Child's cheeks, somehow adding a touch of charming cuteness.
She would actually blush when surprised.
Both naive and alluring, completely different from that other shorty.
Chu Feng smiled as he tossed the bronze small door in his palm.
Gu Yan, who had emerged from the door in a translucent, smoky form, immediately bounced wildly like a basketball, abstract and grotesque.
Even Azure Ox Great Saint couldn't help but twitch his eye, muttering, "Damn it, I've seen a ghost. This damn thing is actually a source treasure spirit? Does he deserve it??"
His ox eyes stared at Gu Yan, who was enveloped in moonlight, then glanced at White Heart's Child, rubbed his hands, and asked White Heart's Child how to proceed.
White Heart's Child, after all, came from a significant background and quickly stabilized her emotions. The palm-sized small face no longer showed any surprise. With a solemn expression, she lightly leaped from Azure Ox Great Saint's shoulder, her snow-white jade feet hovering in the air, looking directly at Chu Feng: "It seems I miscalculated."
"I've known this guy for so many years and only thought he got lucky, combined with decent talent, to reach this point. I never expected him to be the spirit of a source treasure. If he didn't have such an encounter, it would be unreasonable instead."
As she spoke, her peach blossom eyes stared at Gu Yan, sighing, "I really am foolish."
Chu Feng chuckled, "No need to belittle yourself. That shorty is silly, so it's normal not to notice. If you had more contact with Gu Yan, I think it would be quite easy to discover his secret."
Knowing White Heart's Child's secret of having two souls in one body, he knew that White Heart's Child's self-deprecating remark was not actually about herself, but about the other soul body.
White Heart's Child showed a sweet smile upon hearing this: "You, fellow, really speak nicely."
"However, even if I were to do it again, I would disdain to speak much with such a fool."
She glanced at Gu Yan, then her gaze returned to Chu Feng, saying earnestly, "This time, you won."
Chu Feng blinked. What win or lose? Did we compete in anything? Forcibly adding drama to himself?
"White Heart's Child. What exactly is going on?"
Gu Yan was numb, seeing the two of them so familiar and hearing her cold, heartless words.
He angrily questioned, "Why did you betray me?? Did I do anything to offend you?"
Chu Feng patted his dog head, pitying him, "You really are an honest person, aren't you? Still haven't figured out the situation?"
"You shut up! I'm already like this, you can do whatever you want in the future, but this is between White Heart's Child and me. If I'm going to lose, I want to lose clearly."
Gu Yan was severely stressed and said fiercely.
Chu Feng spread his hands.
You're so righteous, it's as if I did something excessive to you.
White Heart's Child glanced at Gu Yan indifferently and casually said, "Actually, you already know in your heart, why ask again."
Gu Yan's voice trembled, "No, I want you to tell me personally."
"It was you, wasn't it, who conspired with Chu Feng to betray me? Does your conscience not ache?"
White Heart's Child's other soul body had a conscience, but this one did not. She mimicked Chu Feng, spreading her two fair, tender hands: "This isn't betrayal, it's just a transaction."
"To be honest with you, Chu Feng is at least a Great Saint. Killing you would be very easy."
"From the first day you were rescued by Azure Ox and brought to the Wasteland Small World, he had already sought me out."
She looked at Gu Yan indifferently: "Do you know what this means?"
Gu Yan was dumbfounded.
He sought out White Heart's Child on the first day he was rescued and brought to the Wasteland Small World??
Great Saint!
How could this guy be a Great Saint?
Although he had already anticipated this when he was easily suppressed by Chu Feng using Azure Ox Great Saint's power, he still doubted his life when White Heart's Child told him personally.
"Was it the night I was unconscious?"
He immediately reacted.
White Heart's Child said indifferently: "Do you understand? It's not that I want to betray you, there's no need for that. If Chu Feng wants you dead, you won't survive no matter what. I'm only telling you out of our past relationship."
At this point, her gaze suddenly froze.
She looked at Chu Feng in disbelief, as if she had understood something.
Gu Yan was stunned. White Heart's Child's words plunged him into another kind of fear!
It turned out that from the very beginning, he had always been under Chu Feng's watchful eye.
Past memories continuously floated before his eyes like drifting clouds.
"What for?"
"What for!?"
"If you wanted to kill me, you should have done it earlier! You could have killed me back at Qingyun Sword Sect! Why did you let me reach this point?"
"Chu Feng, are you a Devil Head?"
Gu Yan had no mind to continue communicating with White Heart's Child. Upon learning the truth, he completely collapsed.
This feeling was like he had been a beast in a cage from the very beginning. Every time he broke free from the cage, obtained food, or hunted prey, he thought he was pursuing freedom, unleashing his wildness.
But looking back, everything, absolutely everything, was a damn illusion!
He had never escaped the grasp of this Devil Head!
He had never escaped from the cage.
Ah??
Azure Ox Great Saint was dumbfounded.
So, so many things happened in the Wasteland Small World.
Why didn't Her Majesty the Monarch tell me, this old ox?
Am I not a part of the Wasteland Small World?
Even Azure Ox Great Saint was infected by Gu Yan's painful emotions.
He couldn't help but feel empathetic in his heart.
This guy really is a Devil Head!!
Chu Feng smiled faintly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Haven't you already completed your mission?"
He actually agreed with Gu Yan's statement that if you're going to act, you should do it early.
If he had Transmigrated earlier, before Gu Yan had grown, let alone having a System, even without a System, he could have played him to death.
But the problem was, he had only Transmigrated a short time ago and had already tried his best to catch up on business.
And you're blaming me now?
Chu Feng slapped the bronze small door, and Gu Yan's face immediately twisted, crying out in pain.
"So that's how it is. I finally understand why you've always troubled Gu Yan."
"You are indeed a Devil Head."
Watching Gu Yan being casually bullied by Chu Feng, White Heart's Child's expression relaxed as she finally understood everything.
Huh?
What did you understand?
You know I have a System?
Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, his bright, star-like eyes meeting her peach blossom eyes.
