404: I've been fooled again.

But a Quasi-Immortal just has to make things difficult for another Quasi-Immortal.

Mainly, the Undying Phoenix's perception was too keen.

She could guess everything from the slightest rustle in the grass.

The Undying Phoenix strongly suspected that Shangguan Wanrou had sent Qin Feng to plague her.

Ordinary people couldn't possibly enter while she was undergoing Nirvana.

Who else could it be but her!

Shangguan Wanrou: "Are you trying to drag me down with you?"

"Fortunately, I've long since gotten used to it."

Shangguan Wanrou didn't say it aloud, only muttering in her heart.

She wasn't afraid at all of the Undying Phoenix dragging her into this.

However, she didn't want others to know about her relationship with Qin Feng.

After all, things were a bit awkward regarding her younger sister!

"Letting me... it's not impossible, but you can't tell anyone."

"Only the three of us can know."

Shangguan Wanrou took a deep breath and said.

To help Little Feng settle things with the Undying Phoenix, the Gentle Immortal went all out.

"This...!"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't expected Shangguan Wanrou to act this way.

As expected, after her Breakthrough, she had become much more open.

"I won't tell anyone."

Qin Feng immediately stated his stance.

"No problem, I won't say anything either. I just want to watch."

The Undying Phoenix chuckled, also indicating she wouldn't talk.

"Fine...!"

"Then hurry up and set up the Barrier!"

The Gentle Immortal nodded; she was no stranger to Cultivating.

As soon as she finished speaking, she set up a Barrier on the spot.

No one in this Foreign Land could break a Barrier created by a Quasi-Immortal powerhouse.

Strands of Immortal Qi enveloped Qin Feng and the Undying Phoenix.

The Immortal Qi transformed into a flat space in mid-air.

Within the space, white mist was vast, and Immortal Qi drifted ethereally.

It truly felt like being high up in the clouds.

Stepping on it felt soft and squishy, just like marshmallows.

This was the first time Qin Feng had seen Shangguan Wanrou's Barrier.

In the past, Qin Feng would always set the Barrier while Wanrou just lay back.

Now, it was Wanrou's turn to use her Barrier.

"Little Phoenix, you... you should rest first!"

Qin Feng gently set the Undying Phoenix down and spoke.

Next, it was definitely time to Cultivate with Wanrou.

"Go on, go ahead!"

The Undying Phoenix waved her hand and said.

It was difficult for her to stand up on her own, but she could perceive everything within the Barrier.

She could just spread out her Divine Sense!

Qin Feng strode over to Shangguan Wanrou, smiled slightly, and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Wanrou."

Qin Feng didn't call her Sister Rou anymore, but called her Wanrou instead, which felt a bit more intimate.

As he spoke, Qin Feng gave her a bear hug.

Shangguan Wanrou didn't refuse; instead, she replied with a calm expression:

"It's fine, as long as we can win over the Undying Phoenix."

"You'll have another powerful aid in the future."

Shangguan Wanrou was quite considerate of Qin Feng.

A Quasi-Immortal Undying Phoenix, with a little nurturing, could thrive even in the Immortal Realm.

That's right, in the Immortal Realm, not the Abyss.

With Qin Feng around and the Undying Phoenix's high starting point.

Breaking through to Hongchen Immortal, Immortal King, or even Immortal Emperor would be no problem.

Of course, she herself was no exception.

Shangguan Wanrou's starting point wasn't low either; breaking through was just a matter of Cultivating a few more times.

Undying Phoenix: "..."

She rolled her eyes at Shangguan Wanrou and didn't speak.

But in her heart, she muttered, "What does she mean by 'as long as we can win me over'?"

"It's definitely her doing. It's confirmed now."

The Undying Phoenix was even more certain that Shangguan Wanrou had told Qin Feng to come.

Luckily, she was witty and had noticed it long ago.

Now, she had to drag Shangguan Wanrou down with her to feel balanced.

"Mhm...!"

Qin Feng nodded and, without hesitation, immediately began to Cultivate.

"Little Feng, with this person watching, I... I'm a bit nervous."

"Don't... don't be too rough."

Shangguan Wanrou took a deep breath, glanced at the Undying Phoenix, and said.

At this moment, a blush actually surfaced on her cheeks.

Before, when no one was watching, there was little pressure, and she was very natural.

Now, with the Undying Phoenix present, Shangguan Wanrou was more or less shy.

"Okay!"

Qin Feng nodded again... An hour later.

"How do I feel like I've been fooled again?"

"These two don't seem like they're Cultivating for the first time."

The Undying Phoenix didn't see any blood, and immediately became even more certain of her guess.

However, the Undying Phoenix always felt like she was the one losing out.

She even wanted to see Shangguan Wanrou bleed!

Who would have known she was overthinking it.

Fooled every day, and every time it's different.

"Still, this woman's skin is quite nice."

"She's also quite pleasing to the eye."

The Undying Phoenix slowly crawled up, leaned in closer, and muttered while watching carefully.

Gentle Immortal: "*Cough cough*!"

"Can you... not get so close? This is... going too far!"

Seeing the Undying Phoenix leaning in, Wanrou became even more nervous.

Even her voice was trembling as she spoke.

Undying Phoenix: "Tsk tsk...!"

"Cultivate well and don't get distracted. I'm just taking a casual look."

The Undying Phoenix said she was just looking casually, but her gaze never shifted.

"..."

Shangguan Wanrou didn't want to talk and directly closed her eyes.

It seemed that doing so reduced the pressure a bit.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, was calm, having long since gotten used to it.

One day passed.

The Undying Phoenix could finally stand up on her own.

However, her steps were still stumbling and unsteady.

Thump, thump...!

She walked in small steps on the cloud layer.

Moving around a bit to speed up her recovery.

With every step, bouts of sharp pain shot through her, making her wince repeatedly.

"Damn it, why is Little Feng perfectly fine?"

"What kind of Physique does this guy have to be so powerful?"

After walking a lap, the Undying Phoenix murmured.

Her own Undying Phoenix Physique was already considered monstrous.

Whether in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Burial Grounds, or the Abyss, she was practically invincible.

Only a True Dragon Body could compare.

Yet now she was injured, and she wasn't even as resilient as Qin Feng.

Simply ridiculous!

The seventh day!

The Cultivation reached its end.

Shangguan Wanrou's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

The first session of Cultivation after breaking through to Quasi-Immortal lasted for seven days.

It was much stronger than the Heavenly Emperor.

Even the Undying Phoenix didn't last as long as Shangguan Wanrou.

Of course, the Undying Phoenix had only Cultivated twice in total.

She would likely become stronger later on.

Phew—!

Qin Feng let out a long breath and stopped Cultivating.

Everything was finally settled; it was time to set off for the Abyss.

"Little Phoenix, let's go to Heavenly Emperor City first."

"I'll take you to meet my mother."

While putting on his white mystic robe, Qin Feng put Shangguan Wanrou away and said:

"After meeting my mother, we can head to the Abyss."

"So soon?"

"I... I'm a bit nervous."

Hearing that she was to meet her mother-in-law, the Undying Phoenix's gaze immediately darted away as she replied.

"It's fine. If you're afraid, you can hide in my Bronze Space."

"I'm just going back to bring her along with us to the Abyss."

"I can't leave her alone in the city."

Qin Feng said after tidying his robes.

"Then... then I'd better hide first!"

"Is that space of yours stable?"

The Undying Phoenix chose to hide first and wait a while until her feelings for Qin Feng developed further before meeting her mother-in-law.
