Chapter 381: You Are Mine Too

Chu Feng, who had just calmed down a little, turned green at these words.

He really wanted to say, "Sister, how can you be so greedy? Why is everything suddenly yours?"

He had found a divine beast on Mount Tai, and she claimed it was lost from her family. Now, even the Vajra that he had commissioned the Sacred Weapon Refining Tree to forge on Mount Kunlun was about to change hands?

"You don't believe me?" The woman tilted her head to look at him, her eyes beautiful and profound, her red lips vibrant and moist, as if she knew what he was thinking.

Chu Feng grumbled, "Is she threatening me?"

He felt that he shouldn't yield to intimidation. Unless this woman claimed *he* was also hers—and in a unique, exclusive way—then... the Vajra wasn't hers!

Of course, this unhealthy thought was just a fleeting one; he wouldn't dare actually speak his mind, fearing he'd be slapped to death.

"I dug this out on Kunlun," Chu Feng mumbled reluctantly. No matter what, he had to make it clear this was his item and couldn't change hands.

"Ah, that makes sense. Many evolvers used to live there, and I also had a temporary palace," the woman nodded, as if it were a simple matter of fact.

Chu Feng became agitated and argued vehemently that the Vajra was his powerful weapon and could not be given away under any circumstances.

However, the woman's words disturbed him. She directly described the raw material as a dark, head-sized stone, which perfectly matched the truth.

"Well, at the time, someone told me it was an ultimate material, and others said it might be waste. I had no immediate use for it, so I put it in a flowerpot and used it as an ornamental stone."

The woman's words left Chu Feng stunned. How could she be so nonchalant about a stone that might contain a supreme treasure? Just tossing it aside and using it as a potted plant decoration—how broad-minded could she be?!

"Didn't you want to cut it open and see what material was inside?" Chu Feng couldn't help but ask.

The woman replied very casually and naturally, "I had no use for it; I don't lack weapons. Keeping it uncut preserves its value, making it a nice option whether I want to keep a small expectation for myself or give it as a gift. If I cut it open and it turned out to be worthless, that would be a loss."

Hearing this, Chu Feng was truly on the verge of tears. What kind of family was this? They were incredibly imposing, reacting nonchalantly even to ultimate materials, merely holding a slight expectation and treating them as items to preserve value.

For a moment, Chu Feng really wanted to know what kind of family this was, how powerful it truly was, and what its foundations were.

He wanted to understand that era, to uncover the various secrets before the Earth's decline, and ideally, to start by learning about this family.

So, he made conversation, hoping to unravel a lost segment of history obscured by mist.

"Sister, you put such a rare stone in a flowerpot, so I suppose that bonsai isn't ordinary either?"

The woman nodded, saying, "Indeed, a Nine-Revolution Divine Medicine plant was cultivated in that flowerpot. When it bloomed, it was incredibly radiant, with light rain filling the sky, and its fragrance could permeate an entire large city."

Chu Feng stared blankly, mesmerized and utterly distracted. The scene was truly unimaginable. Crucially, the woman focused on the flowers being beautiful and fragrant, completely ignoring the main point—that it was a divine medicine! She seemed utterly unconcerned by that fact!

All she cared about was the divine medicine's radiance and beauty when it bloomed, and its intoxicating fragrance.

For a divine medicine to bloom and allow all living beings in a large city to smell its fragrance—how astonishing was that? It could absolutely lead to terrifying super-evolution!

The toad, listening nearby, drooled profusely.

It showed no integrity, wiping its drool as it said, "Fairy Sister, our family was so powerful in the past; I really want to help revive its glory!"

It didn't dare explicitly say "return to the family," but the meaning was similar—it wanted to betray again.

As a result, Chu Feng kicked it aside.

"Is that Nine-Revolution Divine Medicine still around? Is its medicinal power very strong?" Chu Feng asked, truly eager.

"Hmm, when the great change happened back then, I don't know where it ended up. I imagine it's in some star sea now. If I get a chance, I'll look for it. It was truly stunningly beautiful when it bloomed, unforgettable."

There she goes again. Chu Feng felt that at different levels, perspectives on things were completely different. He was focused on the efficacy of this famous divine medicine, while this sister was simply reminiscing about its beauty!

This truly left him speechless with sadness, mixed with envy and resentment.

As if remembering Chu Feng's question about its efficacy, the woman tilted her head, a hint of thought appearing on her fair, delicate, and elastic face. She said, "Its medicinal effect is good. The fruits it bears after its flowers wither are each as big as a longan, round and golden. They're called Nine-Revolution Golden Elixirs."

Chu Feng was dumbfounded. Nine-Revolution Golden Elixirs? Weren't these legendary evolution divine pills concocted by grandmasters of alchemy? How did they become something that grew from a plant here?!

"Sister, 'Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir' is the name of a medicinal concoction," he reminded her.

"Man-made Nine-Revolution Golden Elixirs are insufficient in medicinal effect; they are merely flawed substitutes for the naturally grown Nine-Revolution Divine Medicine," the woman calmly stated.

Chu Feng was almost crying with envy; a simple question had made him green with jealousy.

This was truly unimaginable—what kind of family was this?!

Casually, they used a Nine-Revolution Divine Medicine plant as a bonsai, placed on a windowsill, and an ultimate material as an ornamental stone, casually tossed into a pot.

This... he couldn't help but feel that such an heaven-defying family truly deserved to be struck by lightning?!

"Sister, how do you usually spend your days?" Chu Feng asked, filled with curiosity, wanting to know about her daily life.

The toad was furiously wiping its drool. It also wanted to know how incredibly heaven-defying the daily life of the family that had once raised its ancestors and other divine beasts truly was.

"Very ordinary. Some enjoyed beast battles, some enjoyed stone gambling, some liked to pursue romantic interests, and some preferred to devote themselves to cultivating heavenly arts. Regardless, it was all simply for the sake of living, for striving to overcome challenges. The difference was that some were passive, others active."

The woman spoke calmly, without a ripple of emotion, completely detached. At this moment, she resembled the Moon Goddess Chang'e, cool and transcendent, as if discussing something unrelated to herself.

"Beast battles, what level were they?" the toad quietly asked.

"Divine beasts, sacred beasts," the woman calmly told it.

Let alone the toad, even Chu Feng staggered. This was truly so formidable it was explosive!

The toad felt its confidence wane. Could it be that even as a divine beast, renowned as one of the universe's strongest bloodlines, it merely played a very ordinary role in this family?

Soon, it recalled a legend: there were once races with weak or even inferior bloodlines that, when weak, still displayed the aura of severing saints. Could this clan have risen in such a way?

"And stone gambling, what level?" Chu Feng asked.

"The material for your Vajra was originally an uncut stone, so what do you think?"

Upon hearing these words, Chu Feng was completely speechless and stunned, utterly dumbfounded.

He was incredibly envious. If everything the woman said was true, what would the children of such a family do on a daily basis? He couldn't help but imagine himself in their shoes.

In their leisure, perhaps riding divine beast carriages, traversing the star seas, calling friends, teasing goddesses, or flirting with imperial princesses? When bored, battling divine beasts, or perhaps carving up a sacred beast to roast, accompanied by a pot of ten-thousand-year-old immortal brew to satisfy their cravings?

And when even more bored, finding a supreme expert who could project across all heavens, to become their disciple and learn skills?

For a moment, Chu Feng was lost in reverie, almost as undignified as the toad, hastily wiping his drool. What kind of life was that? It made him absolutely green with jealousy and resentment.

"Fairy Sister, look, does your family still accept disciples?" Chu Feng asked, with a brilliant smile.

But to the toad, this was flattery, the ambition of a pretty boy. It squinted at Chu Feng.

As a result, it was immediately kicked aside.

The woman's face, beautiful enough to topple cities, showed a half-smile. She said, "Are you sure? My family has long since dispersed, becoming dust in history. If you associate with my family, well, many star seas would likely hunt you down, making you a common enemy of numerous galaxies, a wanted criminal."

Chu Feng was astonished. What kind of family was this, to still be like this after so many years? Its past influence must have been explosive!

The toad was also terrified. It felt like this sister was deliberately trying to scare them.

Chu Feng felt he couldn't stay neutral at such a moment, so he immediately said, "Fairy Sister, we're not afraid!"

The toad desperately wanted to say, "I'm scared, you bastard, don't drag me into this!" But Chu Feng held it down, unable to move.

The woman shook her head and said, "Never mind. For your own good, keep your distance. I won't take you in."

She refused him outright.

Then, she glanced at the Vajra on Chu Feng's wrist, her long eyelashes fluttering, her beautiful eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

Chu Feng really wanted to say, "Why haven't you forgotten? Do you still want it back?!"

He quickly interrupted, saying, "Sister, why do I feel like everything on this Earth belongs to you?" He truly suspected whether this woman was genuinely calm and natural, or a sly, deceptive schemer.

He was a little relieved that he hadn't brought the stone box and the three seeds with him. Otherwise, there was no guarantee they wouldn't also turn out to be hers!

Because he had recently revealed his strength and was about to go to war with aliens, he also needed to guard against the arrivals from twenty-two years ago. Any secret items he didn't currently need were temporarily hidden, fearing they might fall into enemy hands if he were defeated.

He always felt those three seeds were of immense significance!

"I'll give you the Vajra," the woman said, looking at him and nodding. "Seeing as you are of pure human blood, with no other mixed bloodlines, it could be said that you might also be mine."

Chu Feng wanted to spit blood. Was this the final big trap she dug for him? She didn't want his divine beast, didn't want his Vajra, and in the end, she wanted *him* directly. Didn't that mean everything he possessed would still be hers?

The woman spoke, saying, "There were many powerful races on Earth back then, and pure-blooded humans were within my family's territory, so almost all of them belonged to me."

"Sister, am I to become your person, or your property?" Chu Feng squinted at her, as he found it somewhat difficult to accept the so-called ancient history.

"You're quite bold," the woman glanced at him, then stared at him closely again, saying, "Speaking of which, you truly bear a slight resemblance to my fiancé."

At this, Chu Feng could no longer remain calm. He straightened his chest, looking full of vigor and heroism.

The toad, even more shamelessly, spoke up, "Fairy Sister, you might not know, but Chu Feng was actually dug out from underground. He had been sleeping in ice and snow, an antique, and he's lost his memory. Could it be that you two...?"

To embark on a brilliant path of evolution, it had gone all out.
