Chapter 721 Hiding Deep Within Her Secret Bush

Chapter 721: Chapter 721 Hiding Deep Within Her Secret Bush

Li Ruoxi was not nervous in the slightest.

Whether the stone contained an incredible treasure or was nothing more than a useless rock did not matter to her.

She simply wanted to see what her husband would do next.

The old vendor also leaned forward slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Even he was curious.

What exactly had this strange young man chosen?

The entire gathering fell strangely quiet.

For the first time that night, everyone was waiting for a mortal to open a stone.

The seconds slowly ticked by.

Lin Feng casually rolled the golden stone across his palm, examining it from different angles.

The faint golden glow reflected against his face, but his expression remained calm.

Inside, however, Lin Feng was quite pleased with his find.

He had not chosen this stone randomly.

In fact, among all the stones in this batch, this one was the most interesting.

A dozen breaths passed.

The surrounding cultivators waited patiently.

Everyone assumed that Lin Feng was about to open the stone treasure right there and reveal its contents to the crowd.

Even the old vendor was watching him with curiosity.

Then Lin Feng finally spoke.

"This is a good find, Ruoxi. Among all the stones in this batch, this treasure is the most special one. I’m sure you’ll like it a lot."

He smiled as he handed the stone to Li Ruoxi.

The entire crowd froze.

"..."

Nobody understood what was happening.

Li Ruoxi, however, did not ask him to open it.

She simply accepted the stone with both hands and smiled warmly.

"Thank you, husband. I’m very happy to hear that."

Her response left the surrounding cultivators even more confused.

That’s it?

You’re not going to open it?

What kind of stone gambling is this?!

Li Ruoxi did not care about their reactions at all.

She had been with Lin Feng for a long time already, so she understood his personality far better than anyone else present.

To outsiders, Lin Feng often appeared aloof, mysterious, and completely untouchable.

But to the people he cared about, he was an entirely different person.

He could be playful, mischievous, and surprisingly humorous.

He especially enjoyed doing things that left everyone else speechless.

Li Ruoxi had long since become accustomed to it.

She knew that if Lin Feng said the stone was special, then it was special.

She also knew that if he did not feel like opening it in front of a crowd of strangers, then nobody could force him to do so.

Lin Feng glanced at the remaining stones before turning around.

"Let’s go, wife. We got the best one. The rest of these stones are all second-grade finds now."

"Alright, husband."

Li Ruoxi followed him without hesitation.

The two simply walked away hand in hand.

The crowd stared at their departing figures in complete silence.

"..."

"..."

"Wait."

"Did he just leave?"

"He bought a one million high grade spirit stone treasure and didn’t even open it?!"

"What kind of person does that?!"

The cultivators looked at one another in disbelief.

Even the old vendor was momentarily stunned.

He had sold countless stone treasures throughout his life, but this was the first time someone had bought a stone, confidently declared it to be the best treasure among the entire batch, and then simply walked away without bothering to reveal what was inside.

The old vendor could not help but laugh.

"This young master really is interesting."

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi had already disappeared into the crowd.

Lin Feng had no intention of giving those nosy cultivators the satisfaction of seeing the treasure.

If they wanted to know what was inside, they could keep guessing.

After all, making them curious was much more entertaining than simply giving them the answer.

Just when everyone was helplessly wondering what exactly Lin Feng had found inside the golden stone, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Wait."

The command was cold and authoritative.

Yet Lin Feng did not stop.

He continued walking forward while holding Li Ruoxi’s hand, completely ignoring the voice as though he had not heard it at all.

The expression of the young master from the Nangong Clan immediately darkened.

"You’re courting death!"

"Bang!"

A terrifying sword suddenly descended from the sky.

It slammed into the ground only a few meters away from Lin Feng, sending cracks spreading across the stone pavement.

Dust and debris flew into the air as the enormous sword embedded itself into the ground.

More importantly, it completely blocked Lin Feng’s path.

Lin Feng finally stopped.

An angry shout immediately followed.

"Didn’t you hear what my young master said?"

One of the servants of the Nangong Clan stepped forward with a furious expression.

He looked at Lin Feng as though he were looking at an insignificant insect.

"Turn around and come back!"

Only now did Lin Feng slowly turn around.

His expression remained completely calm.

He glanced at the enormous sword blocking his path before shifting his gaze toward the servant who had thrown it there.

"The last time I checked, I was a free man."

His voice was calm, almost casual.

"So I don’t have to listen to whatever anyone tells me to do."

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Remove the sword."

He paused for a moment.

"Otherwise, I’ll make sure you never experience freedom again in this life."

The surrounding crowd instantly fell silent.

That was a bold statement.

A seemingly mortal man had just threatened a servant of the Nangong Clan right in front of the young master himself.

The servant’s face turned ugly.

Before he could respond, the young master of the Nangong Clan stepped forward.

"Interesting."

His voice was low and carried a hint of suppressed anger.

"You dare threaten my servant in my presence?"

He stared coldly at Lin Feng.

"I can’t tell whether you’re simply foolish, whether you’re tired of living, or perhaps both."

The atmosphere around him gradually became oppressive.

"What I hate most in this world are arrogant people who don’t know their place."

Lin Feng looked at him for a few seconds.

Then he smiled.

"What a surprise."

His tone remained completely relaxed.

"You and I are the same, then."

The young master’s eyebrows twitched.
