Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 758 - 756: The Real Bing Ruolan

"It looks like Young Master Ye is truly furious."

"Tsk, tsk, these two have offended Young Master Ye. They’re likely to be in big trouble."

The Ye family was the foremost family of Chen Mountain Town, wielding immense influence. The family boasted two Martial Artists of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, one of whom was present.

Ye Liangchen was not even twenty years old but was already at the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Meridian Wheel Realm. He held the potential to step into the Spiritual Rotation Realm before turning twenty-five. Although he could not be compared with the true prodigies of the Twelve Golden Palaces, within Chen Mountain Town, he could still be considered a promising young talent.

Moreover, it was said that Ye Liangchen had an extraordinary relationship with Luo Feng, who had defeated the renowned expert Yi Tian.

Currently, the neighboring diners looked at the angry Ye Liangchen and then at Luo Feng, shaking their heads with looks of pity.

The Shopkeeper, sensing the tense atmosphere, looked very grim. If these people were to fight here, the damage would be immeasurable. He immediately said to Luo Feng, "Young Master, taking a step back can lead to broader prospects. The Ye family is the first-ranked family of Chen Mountain Town. Listen to my advice, apologize to Young Master Ye and leave immediately."

Luo Feng gave a cold laugh and calmly sipped his tea, completely ignoring the people around him.

Ye Liangchen squinted his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "Take action!"

"Yes!"

His five followers responded, their gazes murderous as they looked towards Luo Feng. The Qi Force around them surged violently, flipping several tables nearby.

The second floor housed several wandering Martial Artists. Feeling the oppressive aura, their faces revealed shock.

The Ye family truly lived up to its reputation as the first family of Chen Mountain Town; these five Martial Artists were not simple, each at least at the eighth stage of the Meridian Wheel Realm.

BOOM!

At this moment, another powerful aura arose. All the spectators’ attention was immediately concentrated on Luo Feng.

"What... what is this..."

Luo Feng remained seated, calmly sipping his tea. Yet, in everyone’s eyes, his figure suddenly seemed to grow tremendously imposing. A terrifying aura washed over them. It was as if he were not a person but a treacherous, thousand-zhang peak; the mere sight of it made their spirits tremble. This was purely the pressure of his aura.

"Ah!"

Ye Liangchen, closest to Luo Feng, was overcome by shock and stumbled back, his face pale.

"Young Master!"

A follower rushed over, supporting Ye Liangchen.

Ye Liangchen was visibly trembling, staring at Luo Feng and shouting, "Hurry up, teach him a lesson!"

"Blustering!"

On the left, one follower, unable to bear the pressure, roared and drew his sword to attack Luo Feng.

His feet had hardly left the ground.

Suddenly, the air around Luo Feng vibrated slightly.

CRACK!

The table to Ye Liangchen’s left suddenly shattered. The swords in the hands of the five followers snapped in two, and they tumbled backward, spitting out blood.

The entire second floor fell into a deathly silence. Everyone’s jaws dropped, their faces filled with disbelief.

Luo Feng put down his teacup and glanced indifferently at them, "I don’t wish to kill today. Disappear from my sight within one breath’s time; otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Yes, we’ll leave, leave immediately!"

The oldest Martial Artist from the Ye family snapped back to reality. Looking at Luo Feng, his face was full of fear. He was a Martial Artist at the first stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, yet from start to finish, he hadn’t seen how the young man before him had acted. This person is strong, terrifyingly so! Even ten or a hundred of me would be no match for him!

"Let’s go!"

Not daring to delay any longer, the Ye family Martial Artists, together with the dazed Ye Liangchen, hastily ran out of the restaurant. In the blink of an eye, they had vanished without a trace.

"Ruolan, let’s go."

Luo Feng was no longer in the mood to eat, leaving a silver ingot on the table.

Bing Ruolan nodded, and the two of them got up and left the restaurant.

Although their figures had disappeared for some time, the people in the restaurant were still awestruck, wide-eyed, and dumbfounded.

"This man is too terrifying! Just his aura alone could probably kill."

A moment later, a sword-wearing Martial Artist swallowed hard.

The people beside them, who had just experienced Luo Feng’s life-threatening aura, all nodded in agreement. One person suggested, "He is at least a Martial Artist of the fifth stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. He should be a famous figure amongst the Twelve Golden Palaces. I wonder who he is."

"Young Master Ye of the Ye family really kicked an iron plate this time. I saw his face turn green with fright just now."

"He deserves it. Let’s see if he dares to be arrogant in the future."

"I heard that Ye Liangchen knows Luo Feng. I wonder if Luo Feng will come forward for him?"

"Luo Feng? This person does resemble Luo Feng somewhat; both are young and possess prodigious strength. It would indeed be worth looking forward to if the two were to confront each other..."

The crowd immersed themselves in the shock of what had just occurred, chattering in discussion.

Exiting the restaurant with Luo Feng, Bing Ruolan lightly bit her lip and smiled, saying, "Luo Feng, I wonder what kind of expression Ye Liangchen would have if he found out your identity."

Luo Feng responded with a light smile. Just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of a familiar figure.

Elder Xue Wu Qing from Floating Snow Hall? I’m surprised to find him here...

Upon seeing the middle-aged man in a snow-white robe hurrying through the crowd, Luo Feng paused slightly. The Floating Snow Hall was located to the south of the Imperial City, completely the opposite direction from here.

Seeing the change in Luo Feng’s expression, Bing Ruolan blinked and asked, "Luo Feng, what are you looking at?"

By now, Xue Wu Qing had disappeared around a corner in the street. Luo Feng shook his head, reached out to lightly tap Bing Ruolan’s small nose, smiled, and said, "Nothing. Ruolan, where else would you like to go?"

The affectionate gesture from Luo Feng brought a faint blush onto Bing Ruolan’s exquisite face, adding to her allure. She sniffed lightly, her bright eyes twinkling, and said with a smile, "Luo Feng, come with me. I have something to show you."

As she spoke, Bing Ruolan’s slender figure transformed into a light green radiance and soared into the air.

Luo Feng performed the Sky Cloud Step to catch up with Bing Ruolan. Looking at the girl’s slightly blushing face, he asked, "What do you want to show me?"

A hint of a smile emerged on Bing Ruolan’s lips. She placed her slender index finger on her lips and smiled, saying, "You’ll find out soon."

Looking at Bing Ruolan’s adorable expression, Luo Feng helplessly laughed a little.

By the time they were speaking, they had already traveled nearly a hundred miles from the small town, and a lake appeared in sight.

The lake was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see, its azure waves rolling to the horizon as if merging with the sky.

Bing Ruolan, who was ahead, abruptly stopped. She glanced at Luo Feng, pursed her lips in a light chuckle, and with her graceful figure, she suddenly sped up and with a SPLASH, she disappeared into the lake.

"Ruolan!"

Luo Feng was slightly taken aback. They were not far from the North Sea. He had no idea how many water Demon Beasts lived in this lake!

SPLASH!

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng dived into the water using the Sky Cloud Step.

Upon entering the water, Luo Feng immediately activated his Protective Gang Qi to push away the lake water. He was about to release his Soul Power to search for Bing Ruolan.

Suddenly, Luo Feng felt a disturbance in the water behind him and was about to turn around when...

"Luo Feng, don’t look back yet."

The soft, melodious voice was recognizable as Bing Ruolan’s. Luo Feng immediately steadied himself and asked, "Ruolan, what are you doing?"

A pair of delicate, boneless hands covered Luo Feng’s eyes from behind. Bing Ruolan’s composed voice echoed next to him, "Promise me first, no matter what you see next, you won’t be surprised."

"Okay." Luo Feng nodded.

"Then, I’m letting go..."

Bing Ruolan slowly released her hands, her voice slightly nervous.

The sudden light caused Luo Feng to squint his eyes, and he was immediately stunned.

Bing Ruolan was not using her Protective Gang Energy. Her graceful figure undulated gently with the water waves, adding a touch of pure innocence to her appearance.

What surprised Luo Feng were her delicate ears. They had transformed into pale blue fish fins, resembling a pair of butterflies about to take flight. As if sensing Luo Feng’s gaze, they fluttered gently.

Bing Ruolan’s face flushed slightly. She quickly covered her ears with her hands, lowered her gaze, and muttered, "This is my true form. Does it look ugly..."

Seeing her nervous demeanor, a faint smile emerged on Luo Feng’s lips. He removed her hands from her ears and praised, "How could it be ugly? These ears are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen..."

He had heard about the true form of the Xi Tribe, retaining some aquatic characteristics, but this was the first time he had seen it.

"Really?"

Bing Ruolan lifted her head, her shimmering eyes full of anticipation as she stared at Luo Feng.

"Really."

Hearing this, the smile on Bing Ruolan’s lips widened. Her delicate ears, initially pale blue, quickly turned crimson, adding an extra touch of charm to her exquisite face.

SPLASH!

Her slender, fair hand swept through the water. Bing Ruolan, like a nimble fish, gracefully retreated. She giggled and said, "Luo Feng, let’s see whose Qinggong is stronger."

"In terms of Qinggong, I’ve never lost before."

Luo Feng was full of confidence. The Sky Cloud Step was an Earth-grade martial art, and even having cultivated it to only the third stage was no small feat.

"You’ve forgotten, the Xi Tribe are people who grew up in water. In here, I won’t lose to you."

Bing Ruolan smiled faintly. Her graceful figure stood poised in the water, like a water lily, pure and flawless.

"Is that so?"

A gleam flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes, his figure suddenly accelerating. He reached out to capture Bing Ruolan and laughed, "I’ll catch you..."

SPLASH!

Just as he was about to grab her right hand, Bing Ruolan’s fair palm lightly swept through the water. Her figure instantly darted ten meters away, and she gave Luo Feng a triumphant look.

"Teehee... You can’t catch me."

"Again!"

Excited, Luo Feng pushed the Sky Cloud Step to its limit. He broke through the water waves, chasing after Bing Ruolan.

Bing Ruolan lightly giggled and sped up again.

The two chased each other underwater, the sound of a young woman’s clear and delightful laughter echoing in their wake.

After a bout of fun, only in the last moment did Luo Feng finally catch up with Bing Ruolan.

By the time they emerged from the water hand in hand, the sunset had already fallen onto the lake, dyeing the water brilliantly enchanting.

They sat side by side on the shore, silent. Luo Feng noticed the slightly disheveled strands of hair on Bing Ruolan’s forehead. He carefully tucked them behind her ear.

This tiny gesture made Bing Ruolan’s eyes tremble slightly. She tightened her grip on her right hand, lowered her head, and murmured, "Luo Feng, I don’t want to return to the Ice Palace..."

"Mm, I know."

Luo Feng nodded.

"I really don’t want to go back. Why does time pass so quickly..."

Luo Feng felt a cool touch on the back of his hand. His heart trembled slightly. He stood up, gently wiped the tear tracks from Bing Ruolan’s face, and said earnestly, "Ruolan, give me two years. Two years from now, I’ll come to the Ice Palace to get you."

Bing Ruolan gazed into Luo Feng’s eyes and silently nodded. Then, she stood up, walked in front of him, and closed her eyes. Her soft lips lightly brushed against Luo Feng’s. Even in this moment, such an intimate act made her blush deeply, a faint crimson spreading across her fair face.

After a moment of shyness, Bing Ruolan handed Luo Feng the Demon Core she had bought earlier.

Now, the Demon Core was no longer azure but had become transparent and pure. Preserved within it was an image: the very moment their lips had touched.

A moment, yet an eternity.

"I’ll wait for you. Whether it’s two years, twenty years, or two hundred years. I will wait for you!"

Gazing up at Luo Feng, Bing Ruolan’s resolute voice mingled with the gentle breeze.

The sun had completely set. Its last lingering rays of twilight scattered down, painting the two figures standing opposite each other in dreamlike, ethereal hues.
