Whenever Li Jiuxiao thought about his experiences in the desolate borderlands, he felt like vomiting blood. It was an old affair too unbearable to look back upon, and it infuriated him greatly.
He had already investigated and confirmed that the brat who had drenched him nine years ago was none other than Ji Dade, the person currently reviled by the Human King family, the Shi family, the Six-Eared tribe, and many others!
Chu Feng chuckled dryly, saying, "I don't know why, but as soon as I saw Divine King Li, I felt a special kinship. Perhaps we are the same kind of people!"
If Old Gu were here, he would definitely roll his eyes and ask, "Aren't you ashamed?"
"You understand me?" Li Jiuxiao asked faintly.
"Of course I do," Chu Feng replied. "Divine King Li's devotion is known throughout the world. To pursue Divine King Ji Caixuan, you traveled from the borderlands to the desert, and then entered battle. You've been deeply in love for over a decade, and your devotion remains unwavering. Your feelings are so profound, they could move heaven and earth. Who among us isn't moved by this? Who doesn't sigh with admiration and respect?"
Chu Feng spoke without hesitation, as he had indeed learned that Li Jiuxiao had been pursuing Ji Caixuan for nearly twenty years.
At this moment, Li Jiuxiao's expression stiffened slightly, and his pupils constricted.
This made Chu Feng feel extremely dangerous. Could the top Divine King of the Li clan be provoked and planning to attack him?
However, Li Jiuxiao finally sighed softly, his eyes slightly reddened, and said, "I can't believe you understand me so well. If only Caixuan knew my heart!"
Chu Feng was speechless. This man was indeed devoted, but a bit too wooden; he probably wouldn't be able to win the Ji clan's fairy maiden this way.
Chu Feng said, "Brother Li, with such deep devotion, Fairy Ji will eventually be moved and will ultimately accept you. As an outsider, I also believe you are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple! Just imagine, both of you are now among the top ten Divine Kings. Is there anyone more suited for each other? A perfect match, a beautiful story!"
"Good brother!" Li Jiuxiao was slightly excited. He grabbed Chu Feng and said, "Let's go have a couple of drinks!"
Chu Feng felt guilty. Would Divine King Li, once he knew the truth, want to beat him to death? He estimated that once the truth was revealed, Li Jiuxiao would surely go mad and search the entire world for him.
In this pure land, Chu Feng clinked glasses with him. In the translucent night-glowing cups, the golden liquor was richly fragrant and exuded auspicious glows, making them feel intoxicated.
Chu Feng naturally continued to advise him, saying that as long as he persevered, Li Jiuxiao would surely win the beauty, for even a woman of stone would be moved by him.
"Brother Cao, we truly feel like old friends at first sight!"
It was clear that Li Jiuxiao was very repressed. His pursuit of Ji Caixuan had always been fruitless, and for this, he had even gone against his family, joining the Yongzhou faction just to be closer to Ji Caixuan. He hadn't been happy in recent years.
"We have such a connection, let's find an opportunity to become sworn brothers later!" Chu Feng suggested.
Li Jiuxiao said, "Hmm, both of you have 'De' in your names, but Brother, your character is incomparably superior to that other person. If my sister's cultivation wasn't already too profound, and she were not already a top figure among Divine Kings, I would truly like to introduce you two!"
It was clear he hadn't been happy in recent years; otherwise, he wouldn't say such things just because he met someone he could talk to so openly.
Chu Feng immediately thumped his chest, his eyes shining, and said, "Brother Li, you must believe that I will soon soar to great heights. I like powerful women the most, because my own cultivation is too fast; I expect to become a Divine King myself very soon!"
In the distance, Monkey, Peng Wanli, and Xiao Yao all felt a pang of toothache. How could this scoundrel be trying to become everyone's brother-in-law everywhere? He was utterly shameless!
As for the people nearby, they were all speechless. Was this Cao De really so close to Li Jiuxiao? He even dared to say such things aloud!
"Alas," Li Jiuxiao sighed, "my sister is stationed in Southern Zhanzhou, which is opposed to our side. If I want to see her, it can only be on the battlefield. What a pity!"
"It's fine, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Chu Feng said, clinked glasses with him again, and added, "Drink!"
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on Li Jiuxiao's face. A graceful figure appeared in the distance; it was Ji Caixuan. She had actually arrived earlier but was talking to someone in the distance and was only now walking this way.
However, when she saw Li Jiuxiao, she very naturally walked in another direction to converse with a female Divine King from her own Dao clan, calm and confident.
Chu Feng saw a look of dejection appear on Li Jiuxiao's face. He immediately felt that such a powerful Divine King was too weak in matters of love. He was not even as strong as he used to be; in the borderlands, he had been more assertive than now.
Chu Feng guessed it was probably because he had pursued her over the years but had been severely frustrated.
"Brother Li, watch me. You wait here!" Chu Feng said.
He ran over to Xiao Yao and asked him, "Hey, is that Divine Kingess from your Dao clan your sister?"
Upon hearing this, black lines immediately appeared on Xiao Yao's face. This scoundrel wasn't just talking; was he already setting his sights on the female prodigies of their Dao clan?
"That's not my sister, don't cause trouble!" Xiao Yao warned him.
"Oh, she's not? Then who is she?" Chu Feng guessed that the Dao clan was too powerful, with large populations in several main branches, thus having more formidable figures, and they came from different main branches.
"She's a younger aunt from my clan, not too distant in blood relation, but not very close either!" Xiao Yao informed him.
"Oh, that's truly great!" Chu Feng immediately exclaimed.
"Cao... De!" Veins popped out on Xiao Yao's forehead. He felt that this scoundrel was utterly despicable; the moment he heard she was his younger aunt, he got even more excited and charged straight over.
Peng Wanli, seeing this, was speechless.
Monkey, fanning the flames, said, "Xiao Yao, this is intolerable! Over here, he just wants to be a brother-in-law, but with you, he actually wants to be your younger uncle-in-law! This is simply too much! If I were you, I would have rushed over and fought him already!"
"Get lost!" Xiao Yao pushed him aside, not wanting to hear him babble.
Then, to Xiao Yao's exasperation, Cao De had just run off, only to return and ask, "What's your younger aunt's name?"
"Stay away from me!" Xiao Yao refused to tell him, veins throbbing on his face.
"I know!" Monkey immediately jumped in to tell him. "His aunt is of unparalleled beauty, famous throughout the Yang Realm, one of the top-ranked beauties on the beauty list, truly a shining pearl of the Dao clan! Her name is Xiao Shiyun."
"A good name!" Chu Feng said, then turned and left.
As for Xiao Yao, he really wanted to hit someone. He grabbed Monkey by the collar, glaring furiously at him, ready to fight him to the death. "Monkey," he said, "you have a sister too, just you wait! I'll make sure your sister and Cao De get together!"
"No, don't!" Monkey said, feeling guilty and quickly trying to appease him. "My sister might be engaged to an incredible person, and no one in the world dares to provoke that family!"
"Get lost! My aunt might even marry the great-grandson of the Martial Maniac! Do you dare to ruin that?!" Xiao Yao regretted it as soon as he spoke, as this was a top-secret matter and should not be leaked.
"What?" Not far away, Chu Feng let out a strange cry, then, with gleaming green eyes, said to Xiao Yao, "Remember, from now on, call me Younger Uncle-in-law! I've decided on this marriage!"
Anyone from the Martial Maniac's lineage was someone he opposed, and he would be at odds with them to the very end.
"Get lost!" Xiao Yao rebuked him angrily, unable to tolerate him anymore.
Chu Feng arrived, circling around a forest of steles, each inscribed with strange patterns and emanating the light of the Great Dao, as he approached Ji Caixuan and Xiao Shiyun.
It was precisely because of these special steles that the space could be isolated, preventing their private conversations from being heard by everyone.
After all, it was a grand gathering, and private spaces were arranged to allow them to get to know each other.
