The Immortal Phoenix King stood a full 175 centimeters tall, a black dress accentuating her tall, slender figure and making her curves even more striking. Her skin was fair, and she exuded a cold yet exquisite aura, like a snow lotus on an icy mountain.
Wang Jing stood not far away, her heart filled with joy upon seeing such an impeccably beautiful "prospective daughter-in-law."
When Chu Feng saw the smile in her eyes and on her brows, he immediately knew what was happening. His body stiffened, and his heart pounded. How was he supposed to introduce her?
This was an unparalleled powerhouse who had broken free from six layers of restraints. If he casually told Wang Jing that this was his "achievement" for the evening, she might be happy, but what about the Immortal Phoenix King? If things went wrong, she could easily flatten a building with a single slap!
"Mom!"
Seeing Wang Jing approach, Chu Feng quickly went to meet her. He wanted to take the initiative and prevent his mother from asking anything that would make his heart race.
However, he underestimated Wang Jing's enthusiasm. She bypassed him and went straight to the Immortal Phoenix King, showering her with compliments, saying she was truly beautiful, like a lady stepping out of a painting.
Wang Jing completely ignored Chu Feng, lavishing praise on the Immortal Phoenix King, becoming warm and familiar. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
Chu Feng desperately wanted to shout: "My dear mother, please stop trying to get so close! If you really had such a daughter-in-law, you wouldn't be able to handle it later. She could kick down a mountain with a casual flick of her leg!"
To his surprise, although the Immortal Phoenix King was cold and stunning, she wasn't arrogant. Hearing such praise, she actually smiled, like ice and snow melting.
"You are also very young and beautiful."
Hearing these words, Wang Jing felt her body and mind completely at ease, as if she had eaten a ginseng fruit. She was extremely pleased with this "prospective daughter-in-law."
Chu Feng quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Mom, you just met her. Don't scare her with your enthusiasm. Let's go home first!"
He was actually afraid that Wang Jing would be startled by the Immortal Phoenix King. If the latter were to reveal the energy aura of a supreme expert, or if her phoenix eyes were to emit divine light, it would be terrifying.
"Alright, you young people continue talking. I'll head back first." Wang Jing left, and Chu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Xiong Kun and Hu Sheng happened to walk by. Chu Feng spotted them immediately and press-ganged them into finding a quiet place where they could have tea and talk.
The few mutants nodded quickly. This was a small matter, and they naturally wouldn't keep Chu Feng waiting long.
Lu Shiyun and her brother happened to witness this scene. Bai Hu immediately became annoyed. This guy had just been chatting intensely with his sister, and now he was already flirting with the Queen in black. He was about to go over and teach this playboy a lesson.
"Brother, do you want to go discuss life ideals with him? Let me tell you, don't willingly walk into a beating," Lu Shiyun said, glancing at him.
"Him?" Bai Hu scoffed.
"He is Chu Feng," Lu Shiyun said lightly.
"Huh?" Bai Hu stared blankly, standing stiffly in place.
Xia Qianyu and Jiang Luoshen also walked out of Moyun Building.
"Luoshen, with your beauty and charm, how can you compromise and surrender? What's so great about the Queen in black? Since she dared to steal your love, you should go confront her!"
"Xia Qianyu, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?" Jiang Luoshen, with her perfect and elegant figure, now wanted to resort to violence against her best friend, murderous glints appearing in her beautiful eyes.
At the same time, she was also looking for the aunt who had "sold her out."
At Yuanming Teahouse, the interior decor was antique. From the tables and chairs to the windows and partitions, everything had a retro style, making the place very quiet and elegant.
Chu Feng and the Immortal Phoenix King sat opposite each other. A pretty young girl, skilled in the art of tea, performed the brewing process with practiced grace, making it a pleasing sight to behold.
"I don't remember anything from the past," the Immortal Phoenix King stated frankly, explaining her situation.
She had indeed lost her memory, not knowing how she had come to the East. She had been found unconscious in the mountains by a female mutant, who then brought her to Shuntian.
The female mutant was wealthy and the organizer of this matchmaking event. While running her own business, she had also signed up the Immortal Phoenix King, hoping to enrich her monotonous life.
The Immortal Phoenix King's power remained intact and strong; she merely suffered from temporary amnesia, possibly due to the shock of a great battle or an issue during her nirvana.
"Everything from the past has been forgotten?"
"Only a vague memory. I seem to have lived inside a volcano, with red magma surging..." The Immortal Phoenix King fell into contemplation.
Chu Feng was moved. As expected of a phoenix bloodline; their habitat was indeed inside a volcano, which would be a death trap for others.
"We have indeed met." He didn't hide anything, calmly recounting their past and revealing her true identity.
In an instant, the entire teahouse subtly trembled. It was the spreading energy fluctuation of a king-level being, awe-inspiring and making those nearby feel a throbbing in their hearts and a tremor in their souls.
"Relax!" Chu Feng said, and released his own energy to block it.
The woman in black opposite him had her dark hair fluttering. Her beautiful, fair face grew even colder, and her phoenix eyes emitted cold lightning, illuminating the entire tea room.
Her black dress billowed without a breeze, accentuating her beautiful, undulating figure, but at this moment, she was also very dangerous.
"The Black Dragon King is dead?" she asked.
"Yes!" Chu Feng replied, adding, "Schiller is still alive. He is the true culprit!"
He guessed that Schiller must hate him to death by now, given that the Holy City of the Papacy had been destroyed by his hand. He wanted to enlist the Immortal Phoenix King to deal with this powerful enemy together.
"Schiller!" the Immortal Phoenix King murmured, committing the name to memory. The terrifying energy retracted into her snow-white, crystalline body, and she returned to calm.
At this moment, Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and others waiting in another tea room were pale-faced, scared to the point of being bloodless. The pressure they had felt earlier was too terrifying.
As for the young girl serving tea, she had already fainted.
Although the Immortal Phoenix King had lost her memory, her intellect remained. To verify the information, she searched for related events online, as Chu Feng had suggested, to confirm them.
Following that, the two had a private discussion.
When they left the teahouse, the Immortal Phoenix King smiled sweetly, a rare and radiant expression like an iceberg melting, which left Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and the others staring.
"Thank you. In return, I can help you find a beautiful human girl to deal with your parents. Of course, if you insist on having this King present and wish to continue, I wouldn't be too averse to helping you."
With that, she gracefully departed, her tall and beautiful figure disappearing into the night.
Chu Feng was dumbfounded. Was that truly what the Immortal Phoenix King had just said?
This was an unparalleled powerhouse who had broken free from six layers of restraints, originally cold and indifferent. Yet, at their parting, she had actually teased him, which seemed entirely out of character for her status.
Chu Feng looked back and saw Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and the others looking dazed and gaping. He lightly scolded them, saying, "What are you staring at? Go find somewhere cool to stand!"
Of course, his own face was also a bit unnatural. After all, he had just been the target of teasing, and he couldn't really retaliate against the Immortal Phoenix King.
Chu Feng didn't linger and quickly departed.
"Chu God, he's too fierce!"
"That's the Immortal Phoenix, seen only in myths and legends, a supreme expert of today! Boss Chu is actually getting entangled with her—is he trying to defy heaven?!"
Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and the others all had expressions of fanaticism, filled with immense admiration.
If this news got out, it would definitely cause a sensation.
However, these few dared not speak carelessly. Chu Feng had already warned them that the reappearance of the Immortal Phoenix King, who had been missing for days, must be kept absolutely secret.
Over the next two days, various major conglomerates continuously tried to win Chu Feng over, extending olive branches through various methods, but he did not respond, living a leisurely life at home.
It was only Wang Jing occasionally urging him to "foster a relationship" with his prospective daughter-in-law that gave him a headache.
"Mount Putuo has been captured by the Bodhi Gene?" This surprised Chu Feng greatly.
One must know that this was one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains, known as the "Buddhist Kingdom of Sea and Sky" and "Sacred Land of the South Sea." It was one of the most important and extraordinary divine mountains in the world.
It was rumored that after the world transformation, there was an unknown field covering the mountain, and terrifying creatures roamed there. When some kings attempted to attack, they either died or were severely wounded.
Chu Feng decided to go find Hu Sheng, Xiong Kun, and the others to learn more about the situation, as they were well-informed.
These few reluctantly came to the meeting, genuinely a little afraid of "this lord." Originally, they had been discussing leaving Shuntian and no longer lingering in the city.
However, Chu Feng had informed them in advance not to go anywhere for the time being and to help him with some things, which greatly troubled them and made them very apprehensive.
Fortunately, Chu Feng wasn't asking them to do anything dangerous; he merely wanted them to gather information.
"Bodhi Gene is indeed very strong. They have two disciples of Sakyamuni. One of them once fought a great battle with the White Snake and nearly died, disappearing for a long time to recover, and has finally healed. The other is even more terrifying; it's rumored he has broken free from five layers of restraints and is an old monk over a hundred years old."
"The reason they were able to capture Mount Putuo was not only because they used some of the most advanced modern heat weapons but also because they invited some mutants to assist them."
Hu Sheng and Xiong Kun did not know which specific mutants these were.
However, there had been rumors before that Bodhi Gene had contact with the Peacock Clan, and the outside world had once speculated that they might join forces to attack a famous mountain.
"Heavenly God Biology, Pre-Qin Research Institute, Extraterrestrial Civilization Institute, and others are also attacking the famous mountains they favor, and they are all close to success," Hu Sheng reported.
Chu Feng showed a surprised expression. While he was fighting in the West, these major powers in the East had made astonishing progress, which truly could not be underestimated.
In fact, the reason he was so attentive and asked for details was naturally because he also intended to act and truly capture a divine mountain of his own.
It should be noted that some places were not necessarily inferior to Kunlun or the Fengshan sacrificial grounds.
More importantly, a divine mountain of his own would allow him to do as he pleased, to be free and unconstrained. Moreover, with the world's further revival, he could also use the richer vitality on the divine mountain to plant the seeds from his stone box!
Chu Feng felt that if he wanted to become stronger, he absolutely needed to find soil suitable for the seeds in his stone box to take root and sprout. Only by securing a top-tier famous mountain would this be possible!
"Right now, which mountains have the strongest spiritual energy?" Chu Feng asked.
"Mount Longhu, of course, the ancestral home of Taoism!" Xiong Kun exclaimed.
"However, that mountain is too terrifying. It's the most difficult to conquer. Blood has stained its stone steps, and many kings have died tragic deaths there!"
Hu Sheng informed him that major powers such as the Pre-Qin Research Institute, Heavenly God Biology, Bodhi Gene, Tonggu Alliance, and Extraterrestrial Civilization Institute had all attempted to attack it. In addition, large numbers of mutant kings had led their forces there, but they had all returned defeated, suffering heavy losses, leaving behind corpses, and barely escaping back.
