Chapter 1931: Chapter 1930: Bringing Up Marriage Again

"Qiuhai."

Sikong Yu spoke up to stop Ouyang Qiuhai from continuing, as discussing such matters in this setting was clearly inappropriate.

"Sister Yu, why stop me? I’m just speaking honestly. I don’t mean to belittle anyone, but the Vermilion Bird Regiment is unique to your Sikong family. After all, not everyone can integrate the Vermilion Bird Blood, and so far, only your family’s bloodline can be compatible with it and even unleash the powerful Bloodline Power."

"Moreover, Li Feng, you just mentioned it yourself, which obviously means you understand this. Hastily letting your trusted aides try to integrate it would be almost certain death. You value them too much to let them die in vain, right?"

"You...!"

"If the Camp Master requires it, how could we fear death?"

"That’s right, even if we were to die, it’s just our bad luck, and it has nothing to do with the Camp Master."

The trusted aides looked at Ouyang Qiuhai, even though she was a beauty, their gazes were filled with resentment. Their Camp Master had spoken; what was this woman interrupting for?

Ouyang Qiuhai stood proud as a small rooster, not backing down in the face of their gazes: "Hmph, I’m just stating a fact."

"Moreover, Li Feng, you don’t think forming a regiment is that easy, do you? Don’t forget you’re starting with nothing, not even a foundation. Even if you obtained the Vermilion Bird Egg, what’s the use?"

"You should understand the principle of ’an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth’, right?"

"Furthermore, we’re all part of this trip to the Vermilion Bird Holy Temple as well, so it wouldn’t be right for you to hog all the benefits to yourself."

"I believe that the Vermilion Bird Egg in your hands wouldn’t be of much use. It would be better for you to give it to Sister Yu to take back. If you are sensible, the Sikong family may not be stingy. The Sikong family is still a First Rank family, with abundant resources; even a little from their fingers would be enough for you to eat and drink well, even if you were to support an entire camp of your trusted aides."

"Besides, with the Sikong family backing you, your situation in Ancestor Dragon City would immediately improve. Those instances where anyone dared to step on you wouldn’t happen again. As long as you don’t commit some heinous crime, I guarantee that you could pretty much walk freely in Ancestor Dragon City."

Li Feng waited for Ouyang Qiuhai to finish before looking at her and asking, "Are you done talking?"

Ouyang Qiuhai hmmed in acknowledgment: "You should know I say this for your own good, don’t be ungrateful."

The trusted aides glared at Ouyang Qiuhai in anger, but they had to acknowledge the fact: Ancestor Dragon City was ruled by noble families, with the Eight Royal Families at the pinnacle, and the Sikong family, called the Vermilion Bird Family, was just below them.

Li Feng turned around, suddenly smirking with a cold sneer, but his gaze swept past Ouyang Qiuhai to look at Sikong Yu.

"Is what she said also what you’re thinking?"

Sikong Yu met Li Feng’s gaze, knowing she couldn’t avoid it. She took a deep breath to meet his eyes: "What Qiuhai said may not be pleasant, but it is reality."

"The Vermilion Bird Regiment was once one of the most powerful regiments in Ancestor Dragon City. Its significance is something you should understand. It’s not just about your origins; even if you establish it, my Sikong family cannot stand idly by."

"You know, my Sikong family is known as the Vermilion Bird Family."

Sikong Yu understood that once Li Feng formed the Vermilion Bird Regiment, and if it had nothing to do with the Sikong family, the family would not stand by silently.

Impossible.

The title of the Vermilion Bird Family encapsulates the honor and foundation of the Sikong family. They built their family on this and have passed it down for millennia. What Li Feng was doing was essentially taking the foundation of the Sikong family, a fundamental family legacy battle that the Sikong family could not ignore.

Could Li Feng not realize this? Of course not.

"Unless you marry into my Sikong family, becoming a part of it, in which case I can completely persuade my father to support you."

Sikong Yu suddenly blushed, biting her lips as she looked at Li Feng. As for who she meant, it was naturally herself.

Marrying in.

The trusted aides’ expressions turned strange at Sikong Yu’s words. In Ancestor Dragon City, marrying into a family wasn’t uncommon, but doing so meant abandoning one’s ancestors and likely never holding one’s head high for the rest of one’s life.

Would their Camp Master choose this path?

Yet they couldn’t help but worry since the Sikong family’s eldest miss, not only was she enchantingly beautiful and talented, but she also had an impressive background, a woman one couldn’t find even with a lantern.

If it were them, they might be willing even if it broke their bones.

Li Feng looked at Sikong Yu: "You should know my answer; marrying into a family is impossible, but if it’s marrying, I don’t mind proposing."

Before Li Feng finished, Sikong Yu didn’t respond as Ouyang Qiuhai burst into laughter beside him, looking at Li Feng: "You really think you’re a toad lusting after swan meat; you’re dreaming."

"You want all the benefits, but the question is whether the Sikong family would agree."

Li Feng looked at Ouyang Qiuhai: "If you don’t speak, no one would mistake you for a mute."

"As for whether they’d agree, heh, if the Sikong family doesn’t want to fade into obscurity, this is the only way."

"Li Feng, don’t be so arrogant, thinking that just because you have some strength now, you can step on the Sikong family. The Sikong family may have declined, but it doesn’t mean there are no strong members in the family. The heritage of a millennium-old family is not something you can underestimate."

Li Feng shrugged.

"Then I would like to try; however, we have to wait until we return to Ancestor Dragon City. For now, you should shut up, or don’t blame me for not giving your father face."

Li Feng glared at Ouyang Qiuhai, who wanted to speak further, but Sikong Yu held her back: "Enough."

"But...!"

"No buts." Sikong Yu knew what kind of person Li Feng was. Since appearing in the Sixth Ring, he had never once bowed his head, otherwise he wouldn’t have faced repeated suppression and survived death so many times.

She was also curious how he planned to "persuade" the Sikong family and her father.

Li Feng withdrew his gaze, focusing again on the trusted aides: "Returning to the topic, integrating the Vermilion Bird Blood is difficult for you, but it’s not impossible. A one-off integration won’t work, but doing it gradually should greatly reduce the risks."

"Those who practice the Burning Technique, step forward. As for those who practice other Cultivation Techniques, I will help find suitable techniques and Combat Skills for you, along with cultivation resources."

Among those Li Feng brought from the Duel Arena, most practiced the Fire Element Burning Technique, while the three Golden Core members, Lei Ba, Shadow, and Lan did not practice the Burning Technique, meaning they wouldn’t benefit from this round.

However, the three had taken the Ice Lotus Petals, giving them some enhancement.

"The others step back, and those practicing the Burning Technique sit cross-legged around me," said Li Feng, then looked at Sikong Yu.

"You come too."

Sikong Yu glanced at Li Feng, but without rejecting, she went straight in front of him: "What do you plan to do?"

Li Feng sat cross-legged, and Sikong Yu, frowning, followed suit.

"Everyone, activate the Burning Technique."
