Qingniao hadn't expected Lin Feng to find her secret too trivial, and it made her teeth itch with anger.
"Hey, then tell me, how can we exchange secrets?" Qingniao questioned.
"If you want to exchange, fine. Then I'll ask you, have you slept with Ye Chen?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"What? What do you mean 'slept with'?" Qingniao seemed confused.
"I mean, did Ye Chen sleep with you? Did you two get into bed?" Lin Feng was speechless. Such a simple question, was Qingniao genuinely not understanding, or was she pretending not to?
Gasp!
Upon understanding Lin Feng's question, not only did Qingniao's pretty face flush red, but even Li Xiang, who was piloting the spacecraft, nearly dropped his jaw. How could Lin Feng dare to ask such a sensitive question? This guy was truly something else!
Li Xiang looked at Lin Feng in astonishment. No wonder Qingniao had called Lin Feng a pervert before; now it seemed Lin Feng truly was one. However, Li Xiang was also curious about the answer. Sometimes, men could be just as gossipy as women.
"You, what business is it of yours? I don't want to say." Qingniao clenched her fists fiercely while blushing. Lin Feng, that shameless fellow, caring about such things, why didn't he just die!
"If you don't want to say, then so be it. The trade failed." Lin Feng shrugged indifferently and said no more.
"Fine, I'll say it. Ye Chen and I are pure. Our relationship is just simple dating, nothing more."
"Besides, I'm still a virgin!" Qingniao, cornered, had to say words that made her blush.
"Oh, so you're still a little bird, not bad." Lin Feng smiled with satisfaction.
"Now it's your turn. You should tell me your secret." Qingniao urged immediately.
"I'm not done asking yet. This is just the first question, and there are other questions. Otherwise, how can we achieve secret parity?" Lin Feng chuckled.
"Then hurry up and ask, ask all at once!" Qingniao truly hated Lin Feng to death. In all the world, how could there be such an annoying person as Lin Feng? Annoying to the extreme.
"Next question, besides Ye Chen, who else have you liked?" Lin Feng asked gossipy.
"What kind of questions are these? Can you ask something a normal person would ask? Are you a busybody, only caring about these matters between men and women?" Qingniao was exasperated.
"Isn't this a normal question to ask? Unless, should I ask who you want to sleep with?" Lin Feng burst into laughter, not finding the question difficult at all.
"You, just shut up. I'd rather answer the previous one."
"Besides Ye Chen, I also liked our Boss Ye. Are you satisfied now?" Qingniao glared at Lin Feng resentfully.
At this statement, both Lin Feng and Li Xiang were stunned.
"Well, you want to take both father and son?"
"Little bird, I wasn't wrong when I said you wanted to climb the ladder using your chest. If you like Ye Lingtian, wouldn't you instantly become Ye Chen's stepmother and the Dragon Riders' first lady? That's a pretty nice idea you have!" Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's not as evil as you think. I like Boss Ye because he's my idol. He's more upright than you and more like a man." Qingniao couldn't win the argument with Lin Feng, so she could only speak her true feelings.
"Fine, I'm evil, but I don't plan on liking both father and son at the same time. You're more ruthless than me." Lin Feng was too happy; he never tired of teasing Qingniao.
"I don't. My liking for Boss Ye is pure admiration. Don't attribute villainous thoughts to a noble person." Qingniao's chest heaved violently with anger. If she could defeat Lin Feng, she would throw him off the ship right now.
"Last question, what exactly is your special ability? Can you tell me now?" Lin Feng asked the question he had always been curious about.
Li Xiang also looked on with anticipation. Having known Qingniao for so long, he was also very curious about her special ability. Because Qingniao had never displayed it in front of outsiders, no one in the Seventh Department, except for True Person Zi Yu, knew about it.
Qingniao paused for a moment. To get Lin Feng's secret, she had no choice but to confess truthfully: "I am the reincarnation of a phoenix. I have the phoenix's divine soul within me. When I encounter danger, the divine soul will appear to protect me."
"The reason I was able to get on the Earth Ranking is because the divine soul within me helped me."
Gasp!
Now it was Lin Feng and Li Xiang's turn to be shocked.
"Holy cow, is what you're saying true? Aren't you a little bird? How did you become a phoenix reincarnation? You even have a divine soul. This is a bit too much, isn't it?" Lin Feng was dumbfounded. True Person Zi Yu had just told him that Qingniao had a divine soul protecting her after her reincarnation. Now, this girl codenamed Qingniao claimed to be a phoenix reincarnation. It was as if she were joking.
"Of course, it's true. I discovered this miraculous ability by accident. It's just that I can't control this power at will. It only appears automatically during critical moments. Otherwise, I would have beaten you to death already!" Qingniao glared at Lin Feng angrily. She had wanted to use the phoenix divine soul against Lin Feng several times, but none of them had successfully awakened the divine soul.
"Alright, I'll take your word for it for now." Lin Feng could feel that Qingniao wasn't lying. Furthermore, Qingniao's explanation resolved many doubts. Qingniao's immunity to talismans and the fortune teller's inability to read her fate were all explained by the phoenix divine soul protecting her. This made sense.
"Alright, I've finished. Is it your turn now? What kind of ability do you have to restrain the Demon Emperor?" Qingniao looked at Lin Feng expectantly. She was too eager to know the answer to this question.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Listen carefully." Lin Feng cleared his throat. Qingniao and Li Xiang both raised their spirits, ready to listen attentively.
"It's like this, you're the reincarnation of a phoenix, right? I am the reincarnation of a true dragon. I have the true dragon's divine soul within me, also known as the 'True Son of Heaven'."
"My divine soul is incredibly powerful. Once it appears, even the Demon Emperor has to kneel and beg for mercy."
"Therefore, in this world, I am the strongest, worshipped by all, supreme." Lin Feng spoke with a domineering aura, bluffing with a straight face.
"Are you talking nonsense? You? The True Son of Heaven? The reincarnation of a true dragon?" Qingniao nearly spat blood on Lin Feng's face. This guy was shamelessly audacious, to an extreme degree.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Think about it, didn't that fortune teller say before that I had the appearance of an emperor? And that you and I are a match made in heaven?"
"So, you're the reincarnation of a phoenix, and I'm the reincarnation of a true dragon. A dragon and phoenix pairing, isn't that perfectly reasonable?"
"Besides, your Boss Zi Yu also said that I, this young man, am extraordinary. He couldn't deal with the Demon Emperor, only I can. So, tell me, how strong am I?" Lin Feng continued to fool her.
Qingniao actually started to believe him this time. Little did she know, Lin Feng was lying. It wasn't that Lin Feng didn't want to tell the truth, but the matter of tying his life to the Demon Emperor was too embarrassing. To put it bluntly, he was using his worthless life to bind someone else's formidable life. While it sounded good to call it containment, in cruder terms, it was a low-down trick, not something that could be discussed in polite society.
