Chen Xuerou and the others watched in stunned silence. Although they didn't know what had happened to Lin Feng, they could all sense that he had become stronger.
Shao Liguo frowned, lost in thought.
However, it was evident that the old man's gaze towards Lin Feng had shifted from initial disdain to reverence.
After all, the abilities Lin Feng displayed were far beyond those of ordinary people.
Even a Heavenly Master of their level would likely be unable to compare.
Such a person was only to be recruited, not provoked!
"Xiaonan, what do you think of Heavenly Master Lin?"
Shao Liguo suddenly asked Shao Xiaonan, who was still shaken beside him.
"Ah?"
Shao Xiaonan was caught off guard by her father's sudden question.
"Dad, why are you asking that? Heavenly Master Lin is very powerful. He's the most powerful person I've ever met."
"Precisely. Since Heavenly Master Lin is so formidable, do you not harbor any admiration for him?"
Shao Liguo continued to question.
Shao Xiaonan nodded. What woman wouldn't admire such a figure?
"Very well. When we return, you will try to build a relationship with Heavenly Master Lin. Even if it means sacrificing everything, you must win his favor. This is a golden opportunity for you."
Shao Liguo had already decided to recruit Lin Feng.
The only way to recruit Lin Feng, in his opinion, was through his daughter's charm.
"Dad, even if I like him, he might not like me!"
Shao Xiaonan felt a bit embarrassed. She had already tried her charm, but Lin Feng hadn't paid her any attention!
"Impossible. My daughter still has some charm. Just be bold and try!"
"That scoundrel Zeng Qiang cannot be tolerated any longer. Compared to Heavenly Master Lin, this guy is nothing but trash."
Shao Liguo had lost all goodwill towards Zeng Qiang; he only felt hatred.
What could Shao Xiaonan say? She was too embarrassed to mention her attempts to seduce Lin Feng, so she could only nod silently.
Conversely, Zeng Qiang's heart was in turmoil.
He had initially believed Lin Feng would perish in Longyuan. Now, not only had Lin Feng survived, but he had also gained some fortuitous encounter.
This was more disgusting to Zeng Qiang than swallowing a dead fly.
Soon, after a brief conversation, they decided to head back.
"Zeng Qiang, you won't be in our car. We've broken up now. Figure out your own way back!"
Shao Liguo and Shao Xiaonan got into the car, leaving Zeng Qiang outside.
"Uncle, there are only two cars. If you don't let me in, can I walk back?"
"Even if we've broken up, can't you give me a ride since we're going the same way?"
Zeng Qiang was furious.
"No!"
Shao Xiaonan's attitude was firm. She stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Bitch, you dare abandon me! Just you wait until I get back, I'll deal with your whole family!"
Zeng Qiang was enraged. With no other option, he turned his gaze to Lin Feng's car.
"Heavenly Master Lin, Xiaonan is angry with me and won't let me in the car. Could you perhaps give me a lift?"
Zeng Qiang asked with a fawning smile.
Lin Feng already knew what Zeng Qiang had done. While he was battling the Silver Dragon, this guy had been spouting sarcastic remarks.
How could Lin Feng let such a person off the hook?
"Of course. I'll send you on your way right now."
Lin Feng smiled.
Zeng Qiang didn't understand what Lin Feng meant. He thought Lin Feng had agreed and eagerly started to get into the car.
The next second, a powerful slap came his way.
Zeng Qiang was sent flying backward.
"What, what do you mean by this?"
Zeng Qiang lay on the ground, clutching his burning cheek, a fierce expression on his face.
"I said I'd send you on your way. Didn't you understand?"
Lin Feng approached Zeng Qiang and said with a smile.
Zeng Qiang pondered for a moment, then understood what "on your way" meant.
In his panic, he quickly said with a conciliatory smile, "Heavenly Master Lin, everything before was a misunderstanding. You can't hurt me. This is a society governed by law. Harming me is illegal."
"So be it!"
"I won't kill you, but I will let you fend for yourself!"
Lin Feng gave a mysterious smile. Before Zeng Qiang could react, he audibly snapped all four of his limbs.
Having finished, Lin Feng ignored Zeng Qiang's pig-like screams and got into the car, signaling Sister Rose to drive away.
"Bastards! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Zeng Qiang roared in anger.
The next second, the sounds of wild beasts howling echoed through the mountains.
"Heavenly Master Lin, I was wrong! Please, take me with you, don't leave me!"
Zeng Qiang was on the verge of tears. With his limbs crippled, he would be eaten by wild beasts if left alone.
In the car, Chen Xuerou looked at Zeng Qiang, whom Lin Feng had abandoned, and felt a pang of sympathy. "Lin Feng, if we leave him here, he'll really die!"
"Teacher Chen, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Don't you think someone like Zeng Qiang deserves to die?"
Lin Feng retorted.
Chen Xuerou fell silent. Recalling Zeng Qiang's actions, she also found them disgusting.
"Alright then, pretend I didn't see anything."
Chen Xuerou closed her eyes and began to rest in the car.
Lin Feng looked at Chen Xuerou's cute little face and then embraced the woman in the back seat, falling asleep together.
