48: Chapter 48 The Gaze from the Divine Realm

No, that's not right. Does she know about her own business with the Wang family?

Lin Feng rubbed his chin, looking at her with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. A strange light flickered in the depths of his eyes, making it difficult for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

A moment later, Lin Feng smiled softly at Vina. "I appreciate Young Miss Vina's good intentions, but I really don't need any help with the Wang family's affairs."

"Thank you so much for caring about me!"

Lin Feng looked at her with a smile, a gentle expression appearing in his eyes.

Looking into Lin Feng's eyes, Vina felt inexplicably uneasy. For some reason, she seemed to have heard something in his words...

"No need to thank me. We are fellow disciples, so helping each other is only right," Vina said with a smile.

"Is that so?"

Nan Qiuqiu looked at her with a mocking smile, pressing Lin Feng's arm firmly against her chest, as if to declare her sovereignty.

"This... Young Miss Vina, right?"

A foxy, cunning smile appeared on Nan Qiuqiu's face. She looked left and right, then said:

"I see that there seem to be many people in the Body Sect who need your help. Why don't I see you helping them, but instead, you come looking for my brother?"

"In my opinion, 'helping' is probably just an excuse, isn't it? Right, Young ~ Miss ~ Vi ~ na?"

Nan Qiuqiu's face was beaming, but her eyes revealed a hint of threatening vigilance.

Vina's face suddenly turned a bit pale. She gave a strained smile. "Ho... how could that be?"

"Alright, thank you again for Young Miss Vina's good intentions, but I really don't need any help. I need to take my sister to settle into her accommodation now, so we'll take our leave."

Lin Feng stepped forward, blocking the space between the two. With a smile, he cupped his hands in a salute to Vina, then turned and left with Nan Qiuqiu.

Watching their intimate retreating figures, Vina felt an endless sense of loss in her heart. After the two had gone far away, she sighed softly and departed as well.

Where Vina couldn't see, Nan Qiuqiu stuck out her tongue at her and said to Lin Feng with a vigilant look, "Brother Lin Feng, you must be careful of this woman."

"My mom said, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is. You must not let her trick you..."

Lin Feng helplessly covered his forehead and sighed softly:

"I've told you, I really don't have any relationship with her. I only met her once a few days ago. Who knew that when I came back this time, she would latch onto me."

Lin Feng was also quite troubled by this. Having Nan Qiuqiu was already enough of a headache, and now there was an imperial princess, Vina. Women are truly troublesome...

"By the way, what exactly is her background? Neither her temperament nor her tone of voice seems like that of an ordinary person."

Nan Qiuqiu rested her chin on her hand, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face.

Given how clearly she was able to analyze that Vina was not simple, Lin Feng looked at Nan Qiuqiu's observational skills with newfound respect.

"Not bad, Qiuqiu. To be able to analyze a person just from a few words and their demeanor and actions—who did you learn this from?"

Lin Feng praised her highly, reached out to stroke her hair, and said with a chuckle.

Nan Qiuqiu put her hands behind her head, her smile bright and radiant. "This young lady is clever and intelligent. I honed my ability to read people at the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy. Just from their actions, demeanor, attire, and etiquette, I can clearly distinguish the difference between nobles and commoners."

"And that dangerous woman gave me a very approachable feeling. The more that is the case, the more it indicates that she has likely been specially trained in this area. Her conversation and behavior when speaking with others are very dignified and elegant. Ordinary small nobles couldn't afford such professional tutors."

Nan Qiuqiu analyzed seriously. Although she didn't know Vina's identity, being able to infer the general range just from these things was, in Lin Feng's view, already quite remarkable.

Lin Feng tweaked her delicate nose, interrupting her thoughts, and said with a smile:

"No need to guess. Let me tell you the answer!"

"Vina is an imperial princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Your analysis just now was actually very close to the mark, but her status is too high, so you probably wouldn't have thought of it right away."

"She's a princess?"

Nan Qiuqiu's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. After standing stunned for a moment, her footsteps suddenly stopped, and she looked at Lin Feng quietly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Feng looked at Nan Qiuqiu as she suddenly stopped, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.

"Nothing."

Nan Qiuqiu shook her head, looked at Lin Feng, and chuckled. "I sort of understand her motive for approaching you now. It seems that even an imperial princess can't avoid being conventional..."

Lin Feng was taken aback. With a wry smile, he tapped her on the head. "What would a little girl like you know? You'll understand when you're a bit older."

Nan Qiuqiu puffed out her chest and said proudly, "I'm already big enough, okay? Does Brother Lin Feng like cows?"

Lin Feng's face darkened, and immediately after, Nan Qiuqiu's continuous cries for mercy could be heard...

...

Divine Realm.

A towering palace stood in the sky. Its entire shape resembled a celestial palace, appearing both illusory and real under the touch of a soft, seven-colored halo.

Amidst the clouds between the palaces, a figure with long water-blue hair stood there. His brows were tightly locked, staring intently at the continent beneath the clouds.

The continent he was gazing at was none other than the current Douluo Planet.

Two points of brilliant starlight suddenly shone from within the clouds. The one in the center seemed to carry a hint of innate imperial aura in its shape, resembling the legendary Ziwei Star.

The other one glowed with specks of red light, its shape drifting and uncertain, sometimes flickering, sometimes steady, gazing at the Ziwei Star from afar.

If one looked closely, beneath the red light was a faint vortex, constantly pulling at the Luck of the stars around it. Even that star resembling the Ziwei Star had some of its Luck dispersed and drawn into the vortex.

And this star system, representing brilliance, volatility, and complexity, corresponded precisely to the legendary Sirius.

The blue-haired man's expression was grim. He waved his large hand, wanting to brush away the layer of mist surrounding Sirius to peer into its true Origin.

But he was shocked to discover that no matter how he waved, the mist covering the star system could not be driven away.

Even though he could briefly disperse the mist through a great Divine Ability, when he viewed Sirius through his divine eyes, he could only see a expanse of Chaos; the heavenly secrets were impossible to find.

This discovery made his expression suddenly turn exceptionally ugly...

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"

The blue-haired man gritted his teeth. Just as he intended to use his God King power to forcibly break through that layer of Chaos, a flash of destructive power suddenly streaked across the sky above Douluo Planet, instantly severing his surveillance.

"Hmph..."

A heavy, cold snort suddenly descended upon this realm. A projection of power suddenly hovered in the Void Realm, forming its own world.

A head of grayish-white long hair cascaded down like a waterfall. The appearance was not the weathered look of an old man, but rather more like the color of embers left behind after all things have withered away.

"Tang San, you have crossed the line..."

Tang San stared gloomily at the projection of power in the sky, his heart filled with hatred and resentment.

Damn God of Destruction, daring to stop me from peeping at Douluo Planet; you have already embarked on the path of seeking death.
