Chapter 765 - 785: Meeting the Lord of Netherworld
"Lin Feng, I’ve missed you too, thinking about you every moment. When I learned that you had come to Jiuyou City, this moment finally came true." Lin Ruoxi said.
The Xiangyun Inn is a very high-end inn in Jiuyou City, and the rooms naturally have bathrooms. Chu Linfeng smiled and said, "I’ll take you back after you finish bathing, otherwise, if Yiyi finds out you didn’t return all night, she’ll definitely be suspicious."
Lin Ruoxi changed into a blue dress and went out of the room with Chu Linfeng, heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Lin Feng, you should go back. I hope you can pass the test of the Lord of Netherworld. Although Yiyi can be willful and unruly at times, she’s very good to me. I truly hope you two can be together." Lin Ruoxi said.
"I know, don’t worry. As long as there’s something I, Chu Linfeng, want to do, there’s nothing that I can’t achieve!" After saying this, Chu Linfeng’s figure flashed and disappeared from Lin Ruoxi’s sight.
The next day, Chu Linfeng deliberately dressed himself up, appearing dashing and effortlessly elegant. Before even reaching the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, he saw the figure of Princess Yiyi.
As soon as she saw Chu Linfeng, she ran over immediately, "Lin Feng, I’ve been waiting for you for so long! Why did you just arrive now?"
"That’s because you’re impatient, isn’t it still early? Let’s go! Let’s meet your father. I hope he won’t oppose us." Chu Linfeng said.
Princess Yiyi led Chu Linfeng directly into the grand hall, which was already filled with people. These were trusted aides the Jiuyou City Lord had gathered to evaluate the man Princess Yiyi was determined to be with.
"Yiyi greets Father!" "Lin Feng greets the Lord of Netherworld!" The two said almost simultaneously.
"Yiyi, is this the human youth you’re talking about?" A middle-aged man in a purple robe spoke from the high seat in the grand hall.
Chu Linfeng glanced at him and felt only one thing: power, and not ordinary power. This man was definitely more than the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm, completely contrary to rumors outside.
"Yes, this is him. Father, am I right? You’ll definitely be satisfied with him. He’s talented and strong; in this lifetime, I’ve set my heart on him." Princess Yiyi said, without caring about the stares of those in the hall.
The Lord of Netherworld glanced at Chu Linfeng, his gaze piercing like electricity, as if to see through his soul, a gaze that would instill fear in others. However, Chu Linfeng was not one to be intimidated and met his gaze directly.
Both parties were shocked internally; Chu Linfeng was surprised by the other’s strength, while the Lord of Netherworld was astounded by Chu Linfeng’s unfathomable depth, despite his outward appearance of a Fourth and Fifth Layer of Saint Martial Realm. He knew this young man was not as simple as he seemed.
Otherwise, how could someone of Yiyi’s strength be unable to subdue him? It was clear he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. If he could truly become his son-in-law, he would be a talent worth cultivating, but if his loyalties lay elsewhere, he must be eliminated before fully growing his wings, for the confidence in Chu Linfeng’s eyes brought him a trace of unease.
This unease came from the most genuine feeling at the soul level. Naturally, his strength wouldn’t fear the other, but he sensed a very dangerous aura.
However, Chu Linfeng found himself in a much better position, for while the opponent was strong, he had many trump cards, including the help of the Sword Spirit at critical moments.
