Chapter 1036: Martial Art Exchange

"

Huh?

"

Bai Linger blinked and lifted her gaze slightly. She saw that Long Fei had remained in place the entire time, and there was not even the faintest impurity in his eyes.

But just now, that guy had clearly been staring at her with an indecent look. Could it be that he was actually...

For a moment, Bai Linger didn't know whether to feel happy or angry.

This damned Long Fei. Does he really not have even a little interest in me? Could he be... incapable?

Ling Feng had no idea what nonsense this woman was imagining in her head. He simply said casually, "I have no interest in your body. What I meant was, I can teach you my spirit condensing martial art. However, it was originally created for the human race. Whether you can master it depends entirely on your own ability."

"You..."

Bai Linger looked at Ling Feng in disbelief. She bit her lip and asked, "Why?"

Ling Feng gave a small shrug and said calmly, "Because your effort has earned you the right to learn it. Of course, in return, you must agree to do something for me."

"Fine. I agree. I'll agree to anything!"

Bai Linger answered without hesitation. Since it didn't involve... that, what was there to hesitate about?

"I want an audience with the demon ruler!"

Ling Feng drew a deep breath and spoke each word clearly.

"W-what?"

Bai Linger stared at him in shock. "But... you've only been in the Canglong Sanctum for less than five days!"

"If it were easy, would I be bothering you about it?" Ling Feng arched his brow and answered mildly.

"Then... Why do you want to see the demon ruler?" Bai Linger gritted her teeth and asked.

"That's not something I can share."

"This..."

Bai Linger furrowed her brows and paced in place for a long while. Eventually, she gave a reluctant nod.

"All right. I can take you to see the demon ruler. But with your current status, it's impossible to meet him directly. Unless you become one of the seventy-two Earth Fiend Demon Kings. But the demon kings listed on the Canglong Star Ranking are all at the peak of their rank. You don't stand a chance!"

Then, a thought suddenly flashed through Bai Linger's mind. She blurted out, "How about this? Come with me on a mission personally issued by the demon ruler. Once it's complete, I'll have the perfect reason to bring you to him. Heehee, Long Fei, you're in luck. Not just anyone gets the chance to take on a mission from the demon ruler!"

"In that case, I thank you in advance, young lady."

Ling Feng nodded. Judging from Bai Linger's tone when she mentioned the Canglong Demon Ruler, it was clear she was quite familiar with him. That connection would make it much easier for him to secure a meeting.

"No need to thank me. A bet's a bet. I lost fair and square!"

Bai Linger bounced up to Ling Feng excitedly and grabbed his arm. "Now don't you dare go back on your word. Hurry up and teach me that spirit condensing martial art of yours!"

Ling Feng had no words. He let her drag him along to a secluded mountain cave.

The cave was pitch dark inside. A faint beam of moonlight shone through a crack at the top, and with a bit of effort, they could see each other's faces clearly.

In the center of the cave stood a large round stone, just the right size for someone to lie on.

"

Ahem

. This is my private training spot. No one usually comes here!"

Bai Linger's face flushed a light pink as she spoke in a low voice.

"

Mhm

."

Ling Feng nodded. He reached out and gently tapped her forehead. With his spiritual consciousness, he transmitted the

Soul Splitting Art

directly into the sea of her mind.

"This spirit condensing martial art is called the

Soul Splitting Art.

Its wonder lies in dividing your spiritual consciousness and gradually expanding its strength..."

Ling Feng explained his comprehension of the technique with care, holding nothing back. He passed on every bit of insight he had gained.

In the realm of spiritual techniques, Bai Linger proved to be a quick learner with real potential. She understood everything as soon as he explained it.

Ling Feng was confident that once she started cultivating the

Soul Splitting Art

, it wouldn't take long for her to form her own Spiritual Consciousness Domain.

"

Haha!

This is perfect. This is exactly the kind of spirit condensing martial art I needed!"

Bai Linger looked at Ling Feng with gratitude. But as her gaze lingered, her thoughts took a strange turn. It was the dead of night. A man and a woman, alone in a cave after walking through the forest together. And even now, Long Fei had not made the slightest inappropriate move.

This guy didn't act like a red-blooded male of the demon race at all!

Before she knew it, a suspicion took root in her mind.

Is Long Fei even a man?

Then, without warning, Bai Linger reached out and grabbed his chest with a firm, ruthless squeeze. The solid muscle beneath her palm only deepened her confusion.

"You're really a man?" Bai Linger stared at Ling Feng in disbelief.

The corner of Ling Feng's mouth twitched. He rubbed his chest and muttered with a blank expression, "Is that really so hard to tell?"

"It's not that. It just doesn't make sense. If you're a man, why haven't you had even a single improper thought this whole time?"

Bai Linger paused, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at Ling Feng with a touch of sympathy. "I get it now. Long Fei, so you like men. Don't worry, I won't judge you. From now on, I'll treat you like a good sister!"

"I... I swear..."

Ling Feng nearly coughed up blood again.

When the hell did I ever say I liked men?

He opened his mouth, about to explain, but just then, a tall and imposing figure appeared at the mouth of the cave. Behind him followed another person. Although this second figure was also tall, he looked small in comparison.

In the Purple Dragon Hall's zone, there was only one person with such a massive build. No guess is needed. It could only be the Tiger Might Demon King.

It turned out that after failing to kill Ling Feng that morning, Tiger Might Demon King had been driven off by Bai Su. So he had sent spies to watch Ling Feng's every move. The moment Ling Feng left his quarters, he received word and searched the back mountain until he finally discovered this cave.

The Tiger Might Demon King stepped inside. His heavy steps made the entire cave tremble.

Bai Linger's face instantly turned pale. At that moment, she was kneeling in front of Ling Feng in a highly compromising position. Her clothes were still disheveled from their earlier fight. It was impossible not to get the wrong idea.

"Junior Sister Linger, how... how could you do something like this?"

The one trailing behind Tiger Might was none other than Xiao Feng. When he saw that Bai Linger was also in the cave with Ling Feng, he froze. His finger pointed at them in a mix of shock and fury, like he had just caught them in the act.

Late at night. A man and a woman. Alone in a cave.

What else could they be doing?

Cultivating?

Who would believe that?
