Chapter 233: Chapter 169: If you’re not a dog, then you’re dog meat!

Crystal clear, radiant with colorful lights, at the center of the splendidly beautiful Purple Light Forest, a pristinely clear spring made ripples gently. A girl, seemingly sculpted from a flawless gemstone, silently sat with her eyes closed. The setting serves as a wonderful backdrop to her rare beauty, forming a stunning view.
All of a sudden, an invisible wind coursed through the forest. The sparkling, transparent, and vibrant leaves rustled. But only after a moment, the wind became stronger, causing the purple leaves to tremble vigorously, as if they were about to fall.
Whoosh-
The sound of the biting wind echoed. Despite the lushness of the forest, a gust was raging within it at this moment. The origin of this unusual wind lay in a tiny spring at the heart of the forest.
“Feng Qing’an!”
The girl in the spring suddenly opened her eyes. At that same moment, the fierce wind whistling through the forest reached its peak, and ghostly Yin Qi started swirling around from all directions.
However, while passing through the forest, this Yin Qi is heavily scrutinized and refined. When it reached the girl, only the purest thread remains and is absorbed and refined by her.
Several hundreds of miles away, outside Anqing Mansion, Feng Qing’an’s eyes narrowed as a cool force flowed from his forehead at that moment. This invigorating force nourished his soul, making it increasingly lucid. His Soul Power also dramatically increased due to this.
[Third Soul Contract: Nange] [Race:lnnate Yin Spirit]
[Attribute: Yin, Heaven, Spirit] [Potential Level: Emperor. Lower Class]
[Combat Level: Commander• Upper ClassJ
“Quiet as a mouse, yet jolts like a thunder when she moves!”
Upon seeing a freshly breakthrough Nange, whose combat status was on par with Black Mountain, Feng Qing’an couldn’t help but silently praise her. However, this ranking could only serve as a reference because the higher the rank, the wider the gap between the high and low limits.
Between Black Mountain and Nange, if a conflict arose, if Black Mountain didn’t want to die too embarrassingly, its only option would be to run away immediately.
“Feng Qing’an, I’ve made a breakthrough!”
When Feng Qing’an’s awareness descended through the soul contract, the girl joyously shared her achievement with him.
“My Nange is truly amazing!”
At this moment, Feng Qing’an did not hesitate in expressing his praise. He also knew that The Nine Refining Secret Art was not just about accumulating power but a masterstroke to amass power, allowing one to rocket to the upper ranks upon breaking through to a new realm.
“He he!”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s praise, Nange chuckled in delight. Then she continued cheerfully,
“I just need to breakthrough one more grand realm and I will no longer fear sunlight. Then I can come to the human world to find you!”
“Great, I am waiting for you. Do your best!”
“En, enl”
Nange’s potential is adequate. Feng Qing’an didn’t need to invest too much in her. She only needs to continue her progress, step by step according to her existing legacy. She can easily surpass Donghuang from before Feng Qing’an met her.
After chatting with the girl for a while and quietly listening to her talking about her longing, Feng Qing’an finally withdrew his soul consciousness and turned his attention back to the official road he was traveling. Almost all of the passersby he saw along the way were armed, very few traveled empty-handed. “The folks from Anqing Mansion are rather tough!”
Feng Qing’an was reminded of the farmer he met when he first left Wuling Mountain. Even though he was farming, this farmer, who cultivated land near the mountain and forest, was also a skilled hunter.
“What a lovely horse. It’s a shame that it was owned by such a dandy young master. What a waste!”
A faint grumble caught Feng Qing’an’s ear. When he turned his head along the direction of the gaze resting on him, he saw a merchant caravan, also being guarded by armed guards. The source of the muttering was a young Martial Arts Teacher on a black horse.
Despite both being black, the horses stood in stark contrast; there was no room for comparison. Similar to comparing a short dwarf to a tall person, even someone unfamiliar with horses could distinctly discern the difference.
However, when the young martial artist saw Feng Qing’an’s gaze towards him, a shocked look appeared on his face. He never expected his grumbling to be overheard.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Young master, this boy is doing guard duty with me for his first time and lacks knowledge. He’s nothing but a clueless bumpkin from the countryside; please do not take offence!”
Noticing Feng Qing’an’s gaze, the head of the guards was frightened and hastily bowed his head to apologize to Feng Qing’an, while sternly reproaching the young Martial Arts Teacher, who was still a bit dazed and defiant,
“What are you doing standing there? Go and apologize to the young master immediately! ”
The young Martial Arts Teacher, still somewhat defiant in his heart, was about to say something. However, he fell silent when he saw the gloomy gaze of the black wolf following the young master. A chill coursed up his spine causing him to shiver. By the time he came to his senses, he was soaked in sweat. “I should not have speculated about you blindly. Please forgive my trespasses!”
The young man stumbled off his horse and knelt on the ground before Feng Qing’an, apologizing for his actions. Anyone who could tame such a black dog surely surpassed the common man and may even be a martial arts expert who had reached beyond the Innate level. The young guard was in no position to offend such a man. Even if this man killed him with a single blow, the head guard might not even utter a word in protest.
“Youthful vigor, I understand.”
Feng Qing’an glared at Black Mountain, signaling it to revert to its harmless state.. Then, with a welcoming and gentle smile, he comforted the trembling young martial artist,
