The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2188 - 2177: Will We Become Strangers?

Zhao Shenghong completely ignored the changes in Ye Chenfeng’s expression and continued, "Take out the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus you embedded in my junior’s forehead. Considering that you haven’t harmed her and even brought her to the Tian Xuan Realm, I can overlook this matter, but you must handle the trouble here yourself. I will not intervene."

"If you are unwilling to take out the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus, then I don’t mind conducting a Soul Search on you. By then, I will naturally know how to extract the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus."

Embedding the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus in Bai Xiaorou’s forehead was done with an exceedingly complex technique, so much so that even a powerhouse like Zhao Shenghong in the Divine King Realm was at a loss; hence he consented to accompany them in search of Ye Chenfeng. Otherwise, he would have forcibly taken Bai Xiaorou back to the Lion King Lineage a long time ago.

Zhao Shenghong also knew that Bai Xiaorou was so attached to Ye Chenfeng entirely because this Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus, refined by Ye Chenfeng, bore his aura—making Bai Xiaorou regard him as the closest person.

Otherwise, the princesses of the Lion King Lineage are naturally extremely cold and would not have any inclination of closeness to anyone.

The Lion King Lineage had been searching for Bai Xiaorou for a long time. Being the princess of the Nine Nether Ice Lion King Lineage, Bai Xiaorou held supreme status within the lineage, and Zhao Shenghong certainly couldn’t tolerate her being so attached to a lowly human cultivator.

The reason Zhao Shenghong agreed not to settle accounts is because he saw the situation before him; even without his intervention, Ye Chenfeng was doomed. So why should he trouble himself with such a small character?

When Zhao Shenghong suddenly knocked Bai Xiaorou unconscious and said those words to Ye Chenfeng, the expressions of those present changed once more.

Hua Changsheng, Wang Yongyi, and others, who were initially weighed down, finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhao Shenghong didn’t intervene in the matters here, they were eternally grateful, and as for whether the happenings here would be leaked, they couldn’t care about that now.

However, Xiao Yongzhan and Xue Wanqing, who had initially seen hope, found their emotions once again becoming heavy as their hopes evaporated into bubbles.

Still, Hua Changsheng and Wang Yongyi dared not act rashly.

Ye Chenfeng looked at Bai Xiaorou, who lay unconscious on the ground. When he originally embedded the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus in her forehead, he had no choice. Moreover, the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus was beneficial for Bai Xiaorou’s cultivation.

Through numerous interactions and countless difficulties, Ye Chenfeng had long regarded Bai Xiaorou as family. After pondering briefly, he ultimately decided to remove the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus from her forehead, internally asking, "Old Bai, Old Hei, once the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus is removed, will Xiaorou see me as a stranger?"

Old Bai Wu Fengxian replied, "Theoretically, yes, but it’s not certain."

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian said, "Kid, this is not the time to consider this. The opponent’s strongest has a cultivation at the fifth level of the Heavenly God Realm. If Old Bai and I lend you our utmost power, your body might instantly rip apart—you might only hold on for a short while."

"If it were only that, Old Bai and I would have already lent you our power. Unfortunately, the strength of your heart is still insufficient. Your heart might explode right away if your body sustains the force."

"Old Bai and I can’t directly come out to fight now. Our power must rely on your body to be exerted, and the Space Law here is also restricted. Letting you leave alone, Old Bai and I might think of a way, but if you want to bring so many people with you, Old Bai and I truly are powerless."

Ye Chenfeng naturally wouldn’t abandon Xue Wanqing and Xiao Yongzhan and others. He stopped conversing with Old Bai and Old Hei and walked step by step to stand in front of Bai Xiaorou. Glancing at Zhao Shenghong, he said, "I will now remove the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus."

Ye Chenfeng crouched down, looking at Bai Xiaorou lying on the ground. Internally, he said, "Xiaorou, I’m sorry. Perhaps from now, we will become strangers. But even so, I must remove the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus because the real you exists without this bond."

"Maybe you will never call me Ye brother again, but I’m grateful you have been there for me unwaveringly, Xiaorou."

Ye Chenfeng stopped his internal soliloquy, placed his palm on Bai Xiaorou’s forehead, and with guidance from Old Bai and Old Hei, gradually let his Spiritual Energy penetrate her forehead.

Zhao Shenghong watched with a furrowed brow; if Ye Chenfeng dared to entertain any ill intentions, he was prepared to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Minutes later.

Ye Chenfeng’s palm slowly moved away from Bai Xiaorou’s forehead, with white light constantly flickering there. Gradually, a Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus was drawn out from Bai Xiaorou’s forehead. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus hovered within Ye Chenfeng’s palm. As he closed his hand, the lotus entered his Dantian again.

Having lost the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus.

Does this mean the bond between Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xiaorou has dissipated? Will they now become strangers?

Seeing the Thousand-Year Ice Snow Lotus extracted from Bai Xiaorou’s forehead, Zhao Shenghong was finally slightly satisfied. He addressed those present, "You may proceed; I shall not interfere in your matters."

Bai Xiaorou’s eyelids began to flutter as if she were on the brink of awakening.

Ye Chenfeng returned to Xue Wanqing and the others, his mood extremely vexed.

After hearing Zhao Shenghong’s words, Hua Changsheng and Wang Yongyi felt more at ease. If Zhao Shenghong were truly siding with Ye Chenfeng, he wouldn’t be so indirect.

Hua Changsheng’s aura of Initial Stage Earth God Realm surged once more.

Meanwhile, Wang Yongyi and others blocked Xue Wanqing and Xiao Yongzhan again.

Hua Changsheng gazed at Ye Chenfeng with a sinister confidence, his cold smile growing ever stronger, "Ye Chenfeng, you thought your rescue was here? But look at the result. Even Heaven wants you dead today—to be the first to die in front of your friends is indeed a remarkable thing."

"I, Hua Changsheng, ended up like this today, all thanks to you. You, a mere small character, how could you defeat me? Why should I, Hua Changsheng, die at your hands? I’ve already died once at your hands; there will be no second time."

A sharp, green longsword gleamed in Hua Changsheng’s hand.

Sword Qi raged around him, and turbulent Spiritual Energy filled the air surrounding him.

Thinking that he and Bai Xiaorou might end up estranged, Ye Chenfeng felt particularly terrible, even neglecting his current predicament. At this moment, he just wanted to release the negative emotions in his heart.

Dealing with Hua Changsheng now with just the strength of Supreme Ten Revolutions was inadequate.

Ye Chenfeng frantically activated the Phoenix Profound Meaning within his body, advancing toward Hua Changsheng.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng take the initiative to attack, Hua Changsheng shouted, "Ye Chenfeng, you dare to take the initiative? Are you at the same level of strength as me now?"

Ye Chenfeng roared, "No matter how many times, Hua Changsheng, you will always be defeated by me."

To Ye Chenfeng’s words.

Wang Yongyi and Xue Penghai laughed them off.

What a joke. Currently, Hua Changsheng’s strength was at the Initial Stage of Earth God Realm, whereas Ye Chenfeng, even with Supreme Ten Revolutions, was only at the Peak of the sixth level of Divinity Transformation Realm. It appeared to them that Ye Chenfeng was merely bragging.

Zhao Shenghong looked on disdainfully at Bai Xiaorou, now with her eyes fully open. Witnessing the scene unfolding, he shook his head disapprovingly, seeing Ye Chenfeng as an arrogant fool.

While Xiao Yongzhan, Xue Wanqing, and others were stopped by Wang Yongyi, they also erupted with momentum. They attacked without regard for whether they could win—they couldn’t just watch Ye Chenfeng fight alone.
