Chapter 492: Attending the Meeting

Why hasn't there been an update yet?

Where was Chu Feng? He had already gone out to sea, but upon receiving an interstellar communication on his device, he decisively returned to land. A buyer had contacted him, informing him that the peerless secret manual, "Horizon Within Reach," was ready for transaction. Hearing this, Chu Feng rushed directly to Dragon Tiger Mountain. He didn't trust other locations; only here were outsiders afraid to enter, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed.

In recent days, Bai Ling's parents had been extremely anxious and restless, genuinely fearing that something terrible might happen to Bai Ling in Chu Feng's hands, because this fellow was simply too formidable. For the past two days, they had been constantly observing. They saw the Golden Mammoth sitting in a wheelchair, accusing Chu Feng with tears of blood for stealing its three legs. They saw Kun Yang crying until he fainted, his pair of lamb kidneys "stolen" by Chu Feng. Finally, the entire Black Tiger Saint Son was stolen. This was simply like a horror blockbuster. They were truly worried that the physically weakened Chu Feng might even eat Bai Ling. Of course, there was another hidden concern: their daughter was exceptionally beautiful, with waist-length silver hair, skin as white as snow, and a captivating appearance. If Chu Feng didn't 'play by the rules,' it would turn into a 'disaster movie.'

Back at Dragon Tiger Mountain, by a star path, Chu Feng communicated with the buyer."My good friend," Chu Feng said, "are you questioning my integrity? Rest assured, the goods are genuine; there's no need for inspection.""No way," the buyer insisted. "Where is Saintess Bai Ling? I want to see her."Chu Feng pulled Bai Ling out of a spatial flask, showing not an ounce of tenderness. He immediately grabbed a metal chain, ready to bind her. "Look," he said, "her face isn't marred, no broken bones, and her figure is well-preserved. When I, Chu, sell goods, quality is guaranteed! Hmm, I'll tie you up more securely to ensure you can't escape once mailed."Deep in the cosmos, Bai Ling's parents watched him tie Bai Ling up like a pig being prepared for slaughter, forming a large bundle. Their hearts ached immensely, and they wanted to crush Chu Feng to death. At the same time, they regretted having spoken up!

"Deliver immediately upon payment. Hurry up, have the Omnidirectional Express Company open a wormhole and send that secret manual over.""You send the goods first; send the person over!" Bai Ling's mother demanded."Are you kidding me? Shipping living beings takes the longest. Sending a living person deep into the cosmos usually takes over six months to a year. How long would I have to wait for your acceptance? Ship the manual first; it's an inanimate object and will arrive today." Chu Feng had indeed done his research and understood these details. Then, he added, "Oh, wait, do you want an inanimate object? Do you want a dismembered Saintess? You should have said so earlier! I'll chop her up for you, just a moment!"Bai Ling's parents immediately turned pale with fright and shouted, "Stop! We want her alive, and unharmed!""Then pay up. This transaction is happening on the Primal Beast Platform. What are you worried about? The platform guarantees it; even if I breach the contract and don't send her, they'll compensate you."Bai Ling's parents were terrified. "We don't want compensation; we just want the Saintess," they said.Chu Feng provided his coordinates: Dragon Tiger Mountain, Earth.

Soon after, a small wormhole appeared at the end of the star path. A small box emerged, crossing over from the far side of the starry sky."That's truly amazing," Chu Feng exclaimed. "Not only can it arrive the same day, but it's instant!"Chu Feng was delighted. It was an incredibly hard metal box, and when opened, it revealed an old, yellowed book, seemingly from a very distant past."Is this real?" Chu Feng questioned, suspicious.Bai Ling's parents were enraged. They had paid an extremely heavy price to acquire this manual, only to have it doubted in such a way.Chu Feng chuckled, "Don't get angry, I just asked casually. Besides, you're not at a loss; after you've seen this 'Horizon Within Reach,' it can easily serve as your clan's foundational secret scripture.""What do you know? The price we paid was even greater. Otherwise, who would trade it? We were forced to swear an oath that this manual must not be widely disseminated, or we would be silenced.""That serious?" Chu Feng was surprised."Of course. Who dares question a Saint's words and authority?""Saints are beyond questioning? Haven't I constantly cursed Jun Tuo for no reason?" Chu Feng retorted.Bai Ling's parents were speechless. They thought of Chu Feng, who would casually curse Jun Tuo as an old turtle or an old bastard, yet still be jumping around alive. This was truly... outrageous."Do whatever you want!" The two could only say this indignantly in the end.

"Alright, I'll study it first." Chu Feng opened the yellowed pages. There were illustrations and text, but he didn't recognize a single character! "I don't recognize the characters on it," Chu Feng admitted honestly.Bai Ling's parents felt like spitting blood. Did they really have to teach him the language? Finally, with a sigh of resignation, they informed him, "Your device can identify it. That's the universal cosmic script.""Hmm, not bad!" Chu Feng then began to study it, completely engrossed and forgetting all about food and sleep.Bai Ling's parents grew anxious. They truly didn't want to delay any longer and urged him to "ship the goods.""Young people just lack stability and calm. What's the rush?" Chu Feng replied. Then, he leisurely contacted the Omnidirectional Wormhole Company on his device."Omnidirectional Express, I'm at Dragon Tiger Mountain on Earth. I have a package to send out. Come pick it up quickly.""We are a wormhole company, responsible for traversing cosmic space. We do not offer doorstep pickup service," an intelligent machine's voice replied."Isn't that just a courier company? Why don't you have these services?!" Chu Feng questioned.Bai Ling's parents were exasperated and quickly instructed him, "Don't ask so many questions! Quickly place an order on your device. Soon, they will create a long-distance life transmission channel based on the coordinates. Choose the most expensive option; that way, we can receive Bai Ling within half a month at the earliest, instead of waiting more than six months.""Why should I choose the most expensive one? Let me see, I need to study this first!" Chu Feng said, then began to tinker with the page. He gasped. Mailing things across the universe was shockingly expensive; if converted into exotic fruits, it would take many baskets."What a rip-off, so expensive!" Chu Feng decisively chose the cheapest option. Then, he discovered that "cash on delivery" was also an option, meaning the recipient would pay. So, he once again made the "supremely correct" choice. Then, he decisively placed the order!When he saw a wormhole appear on the star path, Chu Feng directly tossed Bai Ling inside, making the Saintess utterly disoriented and rolling her eyes."Slow down!" Bai Ling's mother cried out, pained.Then, the wormhole vanished.

Bai Ling's father felt uneasy seeing how quickly he had completed it. Soon after, he received a notification on his device, learning the details of the order: ...the cheapest wormhole, and it was... cash on delivery!"You brat, how dare you choose like this?! You... you'll infuriate me to death!" Bai Ling's father fumed.Chu Feng consoled him, saying, "What's the rush? I chose the cheapest option for you; it won't cost much. You should thank me.""Good heavens! Do I need you to save money for me? I wanted the most expensive one! I would have gladly paid for it myself!"Chu Feng curled his lip and said, "You're too cheap; no good deed goes unpunished." Chu Feng turned his back on him, ignoring him completely, and went to study "Horizon Within Reach.""You're cheap, you little rascal, rotten from head to toe! Don't you dare step into the starry sky, or I'll hire a band of mercenaries to hunt you down every single day, for daring to kidnap my daughter, Bai Ling!" Since Bai Ling had already entered the wormhole, her father had nothing to lose and let out all his pent-up anger."Oh, so it was Old Bai! If I had known it was you, I would have demanded an even higher price!" Chu Feng's words infuriated Bai Ling's father even more, and he decisively ended the call.

Next, Chu Feng also shipped Yuan Kun, as the buyer had already paid. However, this Vajra Ape Saint Son was a clearance sale, so it didn't fetch any rare secret manuals. Then, Chu Feng left Dragon Tiger Mountain and headed for the East Sea. As he traveled, he continued to cultivate and study "Horizon Within Reach," because this ancient manual was only nine pages long, a thin scroll. Soon, he had memorized it entirely, deeply imprinted in his mind, and had deciphered many of its profound mysteries. In the sea, he vanished from his spot with a whoosh and reappeared on a different part of the ocean surface. Chu Feng quickly mastered it as if he had found a treasure. This technique suited him perfectly, and he could already apply its most fundamental principles. Afterward, Chu Feng continued to experiment as he traveled, crossing vast oceans. Eventually, he spotted several divine sons and saintesses heading to a gathering, followed them, and arrived at a particularly beautiful island.

In the peach grove, ancient millennium-old peach trees glowed. Pink petals sprayed mist and fell like a colorful shower, each piece sparkling as if light rain was falling, carrying a fragrant scent."Oh my heavens, that Chu Feng is absolutely insane! He really sold Saintess Bai Ling and Saint Son Yuan Kun! The latest update on the Primal Beast Platform shows that the transactions are complete and successful." This caused quite a stir in the peach grove! Some among them raised their arms and shouted, suggesting they should unite to deal with Chu Feng and suppress him."He's utterly brazen! He's actually selling divine sons and auctioning off saintesses! It's outrageous! Everyone, we must all condemn him!"Among them, the most active person was surprisingly Zi Luan, the proud and pampered girl who had been captured by Chu Feng and auctioned off herself, with a buyer even placing an order. If not for the timely descent of heavenly lightning that struck Chu Feng, she would have been sold off by now. Furthermore, Li Feng and Zhan He also felt complicated emotions and were there rallying people to jointly hunt down Chu Feng. Everyone looked at Zi Luan and couldn't help but recall how she had almost cried from fright, singing "I Am a Little Bird." They immediately showed peculiar expressions. In fact, this group was made up of diverse factions. Some were hostile towards Chu Feng, while their rivals unhesitatingly chose to support him."Little sister, behave yourself. What will you do if you fall into the Demon King Chu's hands again? Not only will you have to sing 'Little Bird,' but you'll also be sold off!" someone teased.Saintess Zi Luan was mortified and retorted, "I was just a little nervous back then, which is why I appeared weak. Now, let him try to show up again? I... I'll find someone to eliminate him!"

Just then, the scene grew quiet as many people were astonished to see that familiar face actually appear, slowly approaching from outside the peach grove."Saintess Zi Luan, Demon King Chu is here!" someone whispered."Sis, your arch-enemy has arrived!" someone warned."Trying to scare me? Hmph, do you think I'm that timid?" Zi Luan scoffed, not even turning her head, appearing quite calm."Zi Luan, he's really here!" someone whispered urgently.Zi Luan haughtily lifted her pale chin, scoffing with disbelief. "In this kind of situation, he dares to show up? Hmph, coming here, does he want to pay his respects to me?"Then, Chu Feng utilized "Horizon Within Reach," taking a single step from outside the peach grove to appear within it. He showed no murderous intent, instead smiling gently at everyone and nodding in greeting. For a moment, everyone refrained from acting. Since he was already here, there was no immediate rush to hunt him down.Then, Chu Feng silently moved behind Zi Luan and gently patted her shoulder. Zi Luan turned around, only to see a brilliant face smiling at her, with sparkling white teeth.
