Chapter 83: Teleportation Portals

Huang Bei and the others watching this interaction were shocked.

They hadn’t expected Lin Feng and Chen Mei to get along so quickly—so much so that Chen Mei even had a genuine smile on her face when she talked to Lin Feng.

"Even though the Young Miss is famous for being a seductress, always toying with both men and women, the moment you actually try to pursue her, she rejects you outright.

No matter how powerful your background is, if she doesn’t like you, there’s nothing you can do," Huang Bei muttered to himself, dazed.

Chen Li was even more shocked as he stared at the scene.

He knew more about Chen Mei than Huang Bei did since the latter only had access to public information.

The truth was that, because of Chen Mei’s past experiences, she rejected all social interaction with both men and women.

In fact, she even looked down on them.

After all, by every measure, the Young Miss was so far above the average cultivator that others had no choice but to look up to her.

She had monstrous talent, a powerful background in the Chen Clan, and a beauty that could topple entire cities.

Most importantly—she knew all of this! And she used it as a benchmark to reject anyone she deemed unworthy of her time.

Yan Hao and Yan Li, on the other hand, did their best to ignore the entire situation.

They hadn’t forgotten their previous mistake of talking behind Chen Mei’s back, and they had no intention of offending her again.

So, they stayed quiet. But their thoughts were a different story.

The twins exchanged glances, their years of being brothers giving them an almost telepathic connection.

Damn, Big Bro Feng is badass! Yan Hao looked at Yan Li, who immediately nodded and signaled with his eyes—Yeah! He even won over this villainess!!

And yet, strangely, the moment they finished exchanging signals with their eyes, a sudden chill ran down their spines.

They shivered before slowly turning their heads—only to see Chen Mei staring at them with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, her purple eyes glowing with a mysterious light.

Before they could even react, Chen Mei suddenly spoke, making them feel as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over their heads.

"Do you two also want some personal training?"

The moment those words left her lips, Yan Hao and Yan Li shivered even more.

It felt like they had just received a death sentence from the Queen of the Underworld.

Without hesitation, both of them shook their heads so fast they looked like rattling drums.

Lin Feng, who had been watching the entire situation unfold, suddenly felt a strange feeling bubble up inside him.

I’m starting to wonder if I’m lucky or unlucky to have been saved by this Young Miss...

Chen Mei, noticing the exhaustion on Lin Feng’s face and remembering that all of them had just gone through a life-and-death battle, suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.

Deciding to postpone his training, she spoke up.

"All right, we’ll start your training three days later. You should all rest at the Chen Clan estate. If you stay there, you won’t have to worry about any more bandit attacks," she suggested with a smile before turning to Chen Li for his opinion.

Chen Li nodded and said, "That’s fine. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Chen Su. I need to check on his condition and see if there are any changes."

When Chen Mei heard that Chen Li was visiting her father, her expression lit up with pure happiness.

This time, there was no trace of deception in her smile as she replied, "Thank you, Uncle. I’m sure my father will be happy to see you."

Chen Li, seeing the genuine smile on Chen Mei’s face, chuckled and said, "Aigh, you little girl. You know I can’t keep visiting your father all the time. There are certain people who won’t be too happy about us being so close."

Chen Mei’s expression darkened slightly at his words.

She understood exactly what he meant.

With a hint of venom in her voice, she replied, "That’s right, Uncle. I don’t know what those people are planning, but it can’t be anything good."

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him.

He was reminded of everything that had happened to him ever since he left the Blackwood Forest to begin his journey.

Damn, how dogsh*t does my luck have to be? The moment I leave Raincloud Village, I end up tangled in a political conflict with the most powerful clan in Silverpine City...

Can’t I just live a normal life as a cultivator? Or do I have to deal with this bullsh*t all the time... Lin Feng sighed.

Just then, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Responding to host: The life of a cultivator is always plagued with joys and sorrows.]

Hearing the system’s response, Lin Feng looked even more exhausted.

He subconsciously muttered, "Are you sure it’s not just the trials and tribulations you’re always going on about?"

This time, the system remained silent.

Lin Feng already knew exactly what that meant.

Destiny of the human race... again.

Huang Bei, noticing the look on Lin Feng’s face, suddenly clapped his shoulder and said, "It’s fine. Once we get to Silverpine, you’ll finally be able to rest, so there’s nothing to worry about."

Lin Feng smiled at his words and nodded.

"Yeah, but I can’t stay for too long. I need to get to Brightshore City."

Before Huang Bei could respond, Chen Li, who had just finished speaking with Chen Mei, suddenly joined the conversation.

"Boy, you don’t have to worry about getting to Brightshore. You can just use the teleportation portal in the city to get there directly."

"That’s right," Huang Bei nodded in agreement.

"Travel between the larger cities is quick. As long as you pay a small fee, the teleportation portals will take you there in seconds."
