Chapter 6282: Do Something For Me First

“Chu Feng, you decide,” the Divine Deer said.

“All right.”

Chu Feng looked at Long Zhuoyan’s gu. His decision would be to consume the gu, and the reason for that was simple. If that red-haired woman was indeed Long Zhuoyan, she would be a powerhouse whom neither he nor the Totem Dragon Clan could offend.

They could escape from her once, but could they do so for a second time?

Rather than offending her, he would rather take a risk and try to befriend her.

“Why are you standing in a daze, little brother? Are you afraid?” Long Zhuoyan smiled at Chu Feng.

“Big sister, that thing you have in your hand looks intimidating,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

“Intimidating? Indeed, it should intimidate you. This thing is a gu—if you eat it, you’ll have to keep your promise to me and fulfill whatever request I make to you in the future. If you refuse, the gu will take your life. This gu is highly poisonous, so those who aren’t tough enough may die on the spot. I’d force anyone who makes a promise to me to swallow this gu,” the red-haired woman frankly revealed the effects of the gu.

She continued looking at Chu Feng with a persistent smile, but her smile made Chu Feng’s blood turn cold.

She’s definitely an old demoness.

But Chu Feng was already prepared for this. Just as he was about to express his willingness to swallow the gu, the red-haired woman suddenly flicked her wrist and stowed away the gu.

“But this is for outsiders. Little brother, you won’t have to swallow this.”

Long Zhuoyan looked at Chu Feng with a mischievous smile. In particular, her smile deepened when she saw how confused he was. She was teasing him.

Chu Feng welcomed her teasing if it meant lessening his suffering.

“Big sister, what about the Totem Dragon Clan?” Chu Feng asked. That was the matter he was the most concerned about.

“I shall drop the matter. I’ll be counting on you to do me a huge favor in the future. However, there’s something else I need your help for now. I trust that you won’t turn me down, right?” Long Zhuoyan asked.

“Isn’t that too much? She’s asking you to do her a favor now, and you’ll still owe her a favor after that?” Eggy grumbled in displeasure.

As beautiful as the red-haired woman was, Eggy’s impression of her plummeted after she took out that terrifying gu. It also didn’t help that the red-haired woman was being greedy right now.

“Eggy, she’s no ordinary person. It’ll be highly advantageous to us if we can win her goodwill by doing her a favor.” Chu Feng quickly told her about what he had heard from the Divine Deer.

“Are you serious? She’s a top world spiritist from the Ancient Era?” Eggy reassessed the beautiful red-haired woman before her.

Seeing that Chu Feng had gone quiet, Long Zhuoyan’s smile faded. “Am I putting you in a spot, little brother?”

“Of course not. Big sister, feel free to ask anything of me,” Chu Feng hurriedly replied.

“You should have realized by now that your predecessors have imposed restrictions on their remnants to prevent powerhouses from monopolizing all the resources they have left behind. That’s why most remnants can only be accessed by juniors. This is a good thing for you juniors. As long as you’re talented, you can acquire resources without any background. However, this makes things difficult for older folks like us.

“You see, there is something I covet but am unable to acquire. Even though I have been staying here, I still keep tabs on the world of cultivation’s happenings. You are the strongest junior in the world of cultivation, and your friends are also outstanding among your peers. I require six juniors for this matter. Pick five of your peers, and we can set off right away,” Long Zhuoyan said.

“Me, Wang Qiang, Xianhai Yu’er, Xianhai Shaoyu, Long Chengyu, and Long Muxi. They should suffice,” Chu Feng replied.

“Those few outside? You aren’t going to choose anyone else?” Long Zhuoyan asked.

“They should be strong enough. May I know where we are heading and if that place will be dangerous?” Chu Feng asked.

“Whether it will be dangerous or not depends on how strong you are, but some words of advice: don’t be arrogant. Your generation of juniors is indeed formidable; very few juniors in our era were as strong as you. This matter shouldn’t be dangerous to you, but I can’t guarantee that.

“Go and ask if they are willing to come along. If they refuse, I’ll beat them up, and you can pose the question to them again,” Long Zhuoyan said.

Chu Feng hurriedly interjected, “There’s no need for that. We have been through thick and thin. They will not refuse my request. But how should I present this matter to them?”

He needed a pretext to ask the others to go on an expedition with him. He was asking Long Zhuoyan whether he should fabricate a reason or tell them the truth. If it was the latter, it would be best for Long Zhuoyan to do it.

“It’s not as if I’m a hideous creature. Tell them the truth. Tell them I am coercing you to come with me, or else I’ll kill all of you,” Long Zhuoyan replied with a sinister smile.

“All right,” Chu Feng replied.

“Let’s go.”

Their surroundings suddenly morphed. In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng returned to where he was standing before. The flames continued crackling once more, and the frozen people reverted to normal.

However, they looked confused.

“What happened earlier?” Little Fishy murmured.

Only the space around them had been frozen; time was still flowing normally for them. Even though they hadn’t been frozen for a long time, the time skip still left them feeling incongruous.

Chu Feng was about to explain the situation when Long Zhuoyan’s voice boomed from the flames. Unlike how she had talked to Chu Feng earlier, her voice was much more forceful, putting on the airs of an expert.

“Totem Dragon Clan, you looted my body and used it as resources for your cultivation while I was in hibernation. Do you think your sins will be absolved just because you call me your old ancestor?”

Those words shocked everyone. The Totem Dragon Clan was gripped by fear like never before. They couldn’t deny their ancestral dragon’s accusation. Even though they weren’t the ones who looted the body, it was true that their clan was responsible for it.

Before they could say a word, Long Zhuoyan continued, “But I’ll give you a second chance on Chu Feng’s account. Remember this: I’m only sparing you because of Chu Feng. He owes me a favor because of you, and I’ll demand it from him in the future. With this, our ties are severed. Don’t disgust me by calling me Lord Ancestral Dragon anymore. Look for Chu Feng if you want to repay the favor.”

The Totem Dragon Clan was nervous. It was not because of the disappearance of their ancestral dragon’s remnant but because their ancestral dragon was alive and harbored a deep grudge against them.

“Wu...”

Long Chengyu and Long Muxi suddenly moaned. The crowd looked over and realized that their bodies, which were emanating immense heat earlier, had cooled down, and their eyes fluttered open.

“Chengyu, Muxi, how are you feeling?” The Totem Dragon Clansmen, Chu Feng, and the others rushed forward to check on them.

Long Chengyu and Long Muxi sat up at the same time and turned to Chu Feng. Even though their bodies were incapacitated earlier, they retained consciousness, so they knew about everything that had happened.

“I’m fine, father. It might even be a blessing in disguise. My bloodline became stronger,” Long Chengyu said.

The Totem Dragon Clansmen looked conflicted.

Why would his bloodline suddenly strengthen? It must be Lord Ancestral Dragon’s doing.

“If I’m not mistaken, it should also be the same for you, big sister.” Long Chengyu looked at Long Muxi.

“Mm.” Long Muxi nodded. She turned to Chu Feng and sighed. “It looks like we won’t be able to repay the debt we owe to you in this lifetime.”

The Totem Dragon Clansmen looked at Chu Feng with eyes filled with gratitude. Some of them even teared up. They understood that Chu Feng had just saved them from another crisis.

They were about to voice their gratitude when Chu Feng hurriedly raised his hand and said, “There’s no need for us to be so courteous, given our relationship. I’m only doing what I should. Also, there’s something else we need to do now.”

Chu Feng turned his gaze to Xianhai Shaoyu and Little Fishy.
