Chapter 863: Heart Pure and Good, A Thought of Heaven

The elderly women of Great Dream Pure Land were utterly distraught, their minds reeling. Qin Luoyin was pregnant, and their plan to make Chu Feng, the notorious devil, accept paternity was akin to playing with fire. A single misstep could unleash a devastating inferno upon the Dream Pure Land.

Simultaneously, a group of old monsters made various unsettling connections, keenly sensing an inexplicable link between Chu Feng and Wu Lunhui, a realization that sent shivers down their spines.

"Cuckolding Chu Feng, the Great Devil, would be an unbearable burden, a truly monstrous deception!"

Within Great Dream Pure Land, the old members gasped in unison, their expressions grave, gnashing their teeth. "Who is the father of this child? That scoundrel!"

They desperately wanted to identify the child's father—that vile wretch—and throttle him on the spot!

"And I, who never knew the truth, shed tears..." Nearby, two of Great Dream Pure Land's most direct descendants, who were serving there, felt their hearts bleed and tears well up after hearing some of the truth.

"Who is the child's father, that villain, that demon? I swear I want to kill him!"

Both young men's vision blurred. As direct descendants of Reflecting Heavens-level powerhouses, they considered Great Dream Pure Land their home, and now their hearts were filled with bitterness.

"Never mind, the one who truly deserves our pity is Chu Feng, the devil. Let him quietly shoulder this distressing burden."

Ultimately, one young man spoke these words, comforting his companion.

"You're right. Let's pity Chu Feng, the Great Devil, for a grand total of three seconds!"

With a decision made, arrangements were quickly put into motion to help Qin Luoyin conceal her pregnancy and swiftly address the matter of the child.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng was asked to temporarily distance himself, leaving Great Dream Pure Land. He could go anywhere, provided he stayed off this planet.

Chu Feng spent a long time puzzling over the situation, completely unable to understand what was happening.

Had the people of Great Dream Pure Land truly chosen him, or were they plotting something devious? It all felt rather peculiar.

When some of the older members looked at him, their gazes held both approval and sympathy. Some even patted his shoulder, saying, "You are a good child."

Chu Feng wore a bewildered expression. He hadn't exactly been gentle when dealing with Great Dream Pure Land, yet their current demeanor was overwhelmingly friendly.

With his exceptionally keen intuition, he particularly noticed that some old monsters seemed to pity him. What could that possibly mean?

Naturally, some old monsters, viewing Chu Feng as the designated scapegoat and the one destined to take responsibility, believed that such a formidable devil was actually leading a miserable existence. They wondered if he would feel utterly desolate once the truth was revealed to him.

"Me, a human trafficker? No, a great devil? Wrong again. I am a Divine King of my generation. Why would I need your pity? Damn it!" Chu Feng fumed inwardly. To see such pity and compassion deep in the eyes of some individuals left him utterly speechless.

"It seems I'm truly too naive. I need to reconsider my methods in the future. Being too kind isn't always beneficial; it's worth reflecting upon!"

He actually began to introspect, seriously pondering his actions. If the old monsters of Great Dream Pure Land knew his thoughts, they would never have looked at him with such pity, not even if it killed them. Chu Feng, the Great Devil, was already ruthless enough; if he continued to reflect and change, his future ruthlessness would be unimaginable, certainly driving people to unbearable despair.

A group of people saw Chu Feng off, practically urging him to depart immediately.

Before Chu Feng could utter a word, Ying Wudi expressed his displeasure, stating, "Is this any way to treat a guest? My brother Chu Feng is truly honest and benevolent, unwilling to cause trouble, but I find this unbearable. Are you trying to force him out?"

By then, they had reached the mountain gate, and outsiders were already livestreaming the situation. When these images, scenes, and words spread throughout the starry sky, countless people felt like cursing. "What a cursed day! The ferocious Devil Chu Feng has actually become a paragon of honesty and benevolence. Can anything be more preposterous?"

"I understand Great Dream Pure Land's predicament. If it were me, I'd also rush to send him away. A harbinger of misfortune like him remaining in the Pure Land would undoubtedly disturb its peace and tranquility. Their dispositions are simply incompatible; he absolutely must be escorted out!"

"If you don't send away such a formidable devil, are you keeping him for the New Year? What nonsense about him being 'honest'! This is outright perverting the meaning of words. From now on, if someone is described as brutal and demonic, we should simply call them 'honest'!"

Across the starry sky, a multitude of people grumbled, feeling utterly exasperated. This world had gone mad; even a human trafficker could now exude divine radiance. It was truly disheartening.

Then, everyone watched as Chu Feng lingered with the old monsters of Great Dream Pure Land, appearing genuinely reluctant to depart, as if deeply affectionate and loyal.

The onlookers were speechless. What new development was this?

"Damn, Chu Feng, the Great Devil, has no shame! He's asking Great Dream Pure Land for travel expenses, claiming he's penniless and can't even activate a wormhole to begin his journey through the cosmos."

"Is this extortion right before he leaves? What a brazen Chu Feng, the Great Devil! Oh, my heart aches! Under these circumstances, Great Dream Pure Land is still considering him as a son-in-law? Heavens, this is outrageously unfair!"

Across the cosmos, some people's expressions were akin to utter constipation. They felt like cursing, and even more, they wanted to invoke curses.

Not long after, people witnessed Great Dream Pure Land actually providing Chu Feng with travel expenses, prompting a wide smile on his face. It was clear the sum was exceptionally generous!

Once again, the onlookers felt like cursing!

Subsequently, people observed Chu Feng enthusiastically assisting several individuals, including some injured ones, guiding them out of Great Dream Pure Land.

People were suspicious. What was happening? Had this devil had a change of heart? He was surprisingly eager to help, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.

"Nephew Chu is truly benevolent and pure of heart, even looking after a group of fellow cultivators before his departure," an old monster from Great Dream Pure Land remarked with emotion, praising him thus.

It wasn't that they merely wished to flatter him; rather, Chu Feng currently lacked sufficient redeeming qualities. If Great Dream Pure Land sought to whitewash his reputation, they had to seize every opportunity.

"It is only proper. We cultivators should always support one another," Chu Feng declared righteously.

All the others looked at him with newfound respect, their attitudes completely transformed.

Only Ouyang Feng observed with a discerning eye, immediately understanding the trick. Weren't all the people Chu Feng was helping those who had previously challenged and been defeated by him?

Ouyang Feng instantly realized the truth. Forget "benevolent and pure-hearted," or "we cultivators should support each other"! He understood Chu Feng's true motive: acting on the principle of not wasting, he was personally collecting his spoils of war, intending to sell them later!

"Thank you, Brother Chu!"

Those who were being assisted, gathered, and led out of the mountain gate by Chu Feng, though harboring no genuine gratitude in their hearts, still offered polite words.

"It's my pleasure, don't mention it. We'll depart together shortly," Chu Feng said with a smile.

Ouyang Feng was speechless. This was a classic case of selling someone and then expecting their thanks—truly characteristic of Chu Feng!

Ying Wudi sighed, "My brother is indeed benevolent. These individuals had challenged you earlier, speaking disrespectfully and acting aggressively. Brother Chu is truly pure and kind; everyone has misunderstood you in the past."

Chu Feng displayed a genuinely embarrassed expression. It wasn't an act; he truly felt a touch of awkwardness. His only intention was to discreetly sell these individuals and collect some travel fees from their powerful clans, yet he was being praised so effusively. He felt a slight... hint of guilt.

"Chu Feng, I did not misjudge you; your heart is truly pure, and a single thought from you can create a paradise!" As they parted ways, a high-ranking old monster from Great Dream Pure Land offered an exceptionally high commendation, stunning everyone present.

Even across the starry sky, many individuals displayed expressions of astonishment.

"Brother Chu, we bid you farewell!"

"Brother Chu, as mountains remain green and waters flow endlessly, we shall meet again in the years to come!"

The group of people being helped out bade farewell to Chu Feng. They harbored considerable resentment towards him, as their faces, still showing the effects of defeat, indicated they had forever lost the chance to be with the goddess of their dreams.

However, Chu Feng was remarkably enthusiastic. He approached them, patting each on the shoulder, and declared, "You are all injured, and traveling alone would be very dangerous. I shall escort you."

Wasn't this enthusiasm a bit much? It left everyone speechless; there was no need for such excessive kindness.

"No need!" someone immediately refused.

Nevertheless, Chu Feng was overly enthusiastic; he put his arm around their shoulders and directly led them on their way.

"Hey, what's happening?" Even the most oblivious person sensed something was amiss. Even Ying Wudi was somewhat speechless, a strange look appearing on his face, harboring a faint suspicion.

Chu Feng stated, "I believe you are all injured, and I wish to personally escort each of you to your doorsteps for my peace of mind. Additionally, it will be an opportunity for me to journey through the cosmos, to witness the vastness and beauty of this starry expanse, the peculiar and extraordinary nature of this realm, and to comprehend the profound principles of the universe. Rest assured, everyone, I will see you safely home."

"What 'rest assured'? We'd be anything but at ease with you accompanying us! Is this an attempt at doorstep extortion?" Those with quick minds immediately grasped his intentions.

At this point, even the members of Great Dream Pure Land couldn't stomach it anymore. Some old monsters' faces flushed crimson; they were truly exasperated.

Just moments ago, they were praising his pure heart and the idea that a single thought from him could create a paradise. This was simply... beyond belief.

In the end, the devil was putting on an act of old-fashioned benevolence, but the old monsters had already roughly guessed his true intentions.

"Indeed..." an old monster sighed, on the verge of saying, "A leopard cannot change its spots," but ultimately swallowed the words. After all, they were trying to whitewash Chu Feng's reputation; there was no need to undermine him.

"Since Chu Feng intends to escort you back, it will undoubtedly be extremely safe. He is truly benevolent and righteous. Now, depart!" An old monster from Great Dream Pure Land declared, then swiftly ordered the mountain gate closed, clearly wanting no further involvement, their face burning with embarrassment.

Some of the individuals being 'escorted' by Chu Feng were dumbfounded, wishing they could exclaim, "Great Dream Pure Land, have you no shame? How can you utter such blatant falsehoods!"

Of course, not everyone immediately saw through this ploy. In the starry sky, at least, many were still nodding in approval, praising Chu Feng for truly changing, for seeing a good deed through to the end by escorting people home, which supposedly proved his pure heart.

However, those who fully understood cursed vociferously, immediately wishing ill upon him. "This human trafficker is utterly detestable! Even as he leaves, he takes his spoils of war from the Pure Land. His malevolence is boundless; he's beyond redemption!"

"Old Uncle, goodbye!" Ouyang Feng impatiently bid his farewell. Who was happiest to depart from Great Dream Pure Land? Naturally, it was Ouyang Feng.

The ancient Golden Body expert, who shared an exceptional friendship with Ancient Saint Juntuo, held onto him, rambling incessantly. He touched Ouyang Feng's head, then his face, and even his swan-like neck and black turtle shell, making Ouyang Feng want to stomp and hit him. It was truly unbearable.

"Come, Brother Ying, Brother Yuan, lend a hand and help me escort these fellow cultivators on their journey!" Chu Feng called out to Ying Wudi, Yuan Shicheng, his sister, and others.

Ying Wudi was more than willing to assist. When he favored someone, he genuinely supported all their endeavors.

Chu Feng, in turn, found him exceptionally agreeable. This "brother-in-law" was truly incomparable, understanding him perfectly—very impressive!

Only Ying Xiaoxiao was pouting, simultaneously growing more suspicious. Chu Feng seemed too cordial and familiar to her. Several times, she nearly called him "brother-in-law" but managed to hold back, fearing she would agitate her brother, Ying Wudi.

Yuan Shicheng, Yuan Yuan, and the Vermilion Bird Fairy were all quite speechless. They reluctantly came to assist, if not for Chu Feng's sake, then out of deference to Ying Wudi.

Across the starry sky, a fervent discussion brewed, like a pot of boiling water.

However, Chu Feng remained unconcerned. He gazed at the dazzling starry sky and declared, "Old acquaintances from across the cosmic sea, are you ready? I am about to embark on a tour of the entire universe. Those I once 'sold,' those with whom I once had dealings—I have missed you dearly, and I am coming for you! A bosom friend afar makes a distant land near; I am coming to call upon you all!"

"What nonsense about 'a bosom friend afar makes a distant land near'?! Across the starry sky, all of his acquaintances wanted to curse him to death!"

Ouyang Feng chuckled. He could already envision the scene: wherever he went, he would encounter familiar geniuses, and their greetings would be truly spectacular. Indeed, it would be a world where everyone knew him.
