After changing into a new set of clothes, Luo Feng quickly washed up and opened the courtyard door.

Squeak!

As the courtyard door opened, a tall silhouette leapt into Luo Feng’s vision.

Yang Wanyi stood at the entrance of the courtyard, squinting her bright eyes as she gazed at the gradually setting sun. Her graceful and exquisite figure cast a long shadow in the sunset. Her waterfall-like black hair fell straight to her waist, and she wore a dress with red edges embroidered with butterfly patterns. The material seemed quite luxurious, perfectly outlining her alluring curves, making her appear elegant and noble.

Just her silhouette gave a breathtaking impression that quickened one’s heartbeat. Her slightly squinted, somewhat hazy eyes added the finishing touch to this picturesque scene, making it irresistible.

Hearing footsteps, Yang Wanyi turned around, revealing her stunning face capable of toppling nations. Her long and narrow beautiful eyes, like autumn water, gazed at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, dressed in a plain green robe, had put away Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, shedding some of his murderous aura and resembling a scholarly gentleman. Seeing his attire, Yang Wanyi smiled and said:

"Why did it take so long?"

Facing Yang Wanyi’s gaze, Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel a faint warmth in his face, then he smiled lightly and said:

"With an invitation from a beauty, how could I be rude?"

Upon hearing this, a gleam flashed in the depths of Yang Wanyi’s pupils. Her pretty face, seemingly illuminated by the sunset, had a slight blush.

"Hehe, that’s more like it. Not just anyone can receive an invitation from Fire Proud Sun, Yang Wanyi." Yang Wanyi laughed.

Her words were not an exaggeration. It was the first time she had personally invited a man; in the past, she always received invitations from others but never accepted any.

"Let’s go, it’s getting dark."

With a beauty by his side and the Spring Breeze-as-Heart-Wills Sword just witnessing progress, Luo Feng was in a great mood, walking shoulder to shoulder with Yang Wanyi towards the exit of the Dayang Commerce Alliance’s premises.

Along the way, maids and guards from the Dayang Mansion occasionally passed by. Seeing the two chatting and laughing intimately, they couldn’t help but display perplexed expressions.

They resided in Big Market City, thousands of miles away from Dayang City, unaware of the happenings in Dayang City.

In everyone’s impression, whether it was her beauty or her talent, Yang Wanyi was an extraordinarily dazzling star. Though she treated other men courteously, there was always an underlying layer of aloofness and reluctance. She’d never shown such open, intimate demeanor before.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the people, the two left the premises of the Dayang Commerce Alliance and stepped onto the street.

At this moment, the sun had fully dipped below the horizon, and the stars dotted the sky.

Night descended, and the entire Big Market City gradually came alive, bustling with noise.

The huge light screen covering the city exuded a faint glow in the night, beautiful and dazzling, resembling a huge light pillar piercing the sky.

The streets were adorned with colorful lanterns, lined with a variety of vendors and bustling with people, even more lively than during the day.

Perhaps because Luo Feng was accompanying her, after leaving the premises, Yang Wanyi displayed a rarely seen feminine demeanor, pulling Luo Feng along to various vendor stalls. Her charming and lively voice constantly echoed in Luo Feng’s ears, introducing him to all sorts of peculiar items and the customs and traditions of different regions.

Listening to Yang Wanyi’s introductions, Luo Feng couldn’t help but broaden his horizons. Many items not from the territory of a hundred nations were recognized by Yang Wanyi, earning his admiration for her knowledge.

On the street, Luo Feng occasionally spotted groups of Gold Palace disciples, most with cultivation levels above the Spiritual Rotation Realm. He guessed they were candidates for the Hunting Tournament, with some even bearing fresh blood stains, likely having just arrived.

Seven or eight youths dressed in Yuangang Hall uniforms approached.

"It’s unexpected that this Hunting Tournament is about eliminating a Demon Sect stronghold. I wonder which Linglong Hall disciple discovered the stronghold’s map."

"Hmm, it’s strange indeed. Not a single piece of this major achievement has leaked."

"It’s not hard to guess; the Demon Sect disciple with the map of the stronghold certainly wasn’t an ordinary person. Linglong Hall has few top experts, the most likely candidates are Yan Feihua, followed by Xia Yunjing, then the dual sun, Yang Wanyi, and Ling Qingwu as possibilities."

"Hehe, anyway, we have to thank this person; otherwise, where would we find such a thrilling opportunity to kill?"

"Indeed. This battle has given me some insights. When I return to the Golden Palace, I believe I can break through to the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. By the time the New Dragon List tournament comes around, who knows, I might just have a shot at the list. By the way, Senior Brother Xiao, how many Demon Sect disciples did you kill in this battle?"

"Three hundred and forty-five, including one Asura at the peak of the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. You see, this scar was inflicted by that Asura."

A tall teenager rolled up his sleeve to reveal a foot-long scratch on his right hand, his face full of pride.

Seeing the scratch, the nearby six Yuangang Hall disciples couldn’t help but inhale sharply, their faces filled with admiration.

"An Asura at the peak of the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm! Senior Brother Xiao is indeed formidable; if it were me, I might have been killed immediately."

"Yes, I saw with my own eyes a Heavenly Sword Pavilion disciple at the same level torn to shreds by an Asura of equal rank, it was really..."

"With such a remarkable achievement in killing so many Demon Sect disciples, Senior Brother will surely receive considerable rewards upon returning to the Golden Palace. When the New Dragon List tournament happens in half a year, there’s no doubt Senior Brother Xiao will become famous. Senior Brother, when you make it onto the New Dragon List, please do continue to support us."

"Hahahaha... Don’t worry, once I’m on the New Dragon List, you all will benefit greatly!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

The few Yuangang Hall disciples gathered around the Xiao-named youth, gradually walking further away. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yang Wanyi stopped and glanced in the direction they left, looked at Luo Feng with a half-smile, and said, "Do you want to tell them it was you who discovered the map of the Demon Sect’s stronghold?"

"Even if I tell them, they wouldn’t believe it." Luo Feng shrugged.

"It’s a pity you gave the Blood Saber Demon General’s head to Lin Hongyi. Otherwise, with the record of two Demon General-level experts’ heads, your achievement in this Hunting Tournament would likely be the top, shocking countless people’s jaws."

Yang Wanyi gently opened her red lips, her bright eyes showing a hint of expectation, and then sighed with slight regret.

Luo Feng chuckled indifferently, not caring, and said, "That’s just perfect."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanyi pouted her alluring red lips:

"I really can’t see through you, everyone else thinks about how to become famous and make a name for themselves, but you don’t strive for fame."

"It’s not that I don’t strive, but I don’t strive for false fame."

Luo Feng shook his head and said:

"With my current strength, even achieving the first place in the Hunting Tournament would be just an empty title, and only add to the ridicule. When the day comes that I sit at the top of the New Dragon List, that’s when I’ll truly be the number one."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes brightened slightly, gazing at Luo Feng’s side profile with eyes reflecting a strange glow:

"Then I shall wait and see."

Tinkle...

The wind rose, and a clear and crisp bell sound suddenly came through with the breeze.

Hearing the sound, Luo Feng’s face showed a slight startle, and he stopped in his tracks.
