After spending about a month taking care of various affairs, Lin Feng returned to Yun Lan Sect to await Zi Yan's emergence from seclusion.
His days passed in routine—teaching Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo alchemy during the day, and at night, studying the dry and tedious inheritance notes left behind by Han Feng on seventh-tier alchemy techniques.
As for Yun Yun, who had lingered at the peak of Dou Huang for a while...
Under the guidance of Yun Shan, who was now a Three-Star Dou Zong, she gradually grasped the basic usage of spatial force.
Just recently, she had entered closed-door cultivation to attempt her breakthrough to Dou Zong.
Before she began, Lin Feng had used the Rank 7 Magic Beast wings he obtained from Protector Wu to refine them into a Flying Dou Technique, which he gave to Yun Yun as a gift.
As for Lin Fei and Xue Mei, the two girls had been left behind with Lin Feng because Fu Lan Ke and Ao Tuo were busy striving to become fifth-tier alchemists.
So Lin Feng ended up personally guiding the girls in alchemy as well.
Under his teaching, the two had now reached the peak of third-tier alchemist.
Combined with the fact that they had already refined the Rank 7 Beast Flame he gifted them, they now had about a 30% success rate in refining fourth-tier pills.
As days continued to pass, on a certain day two months later, not far from where Lin Feng was teaching Lin Fei and Xue Mei...
The mountain cave where Zi Yan was secluded suddenly shook violently, and a powerful pressure exploded outward!
"Looks like... she's about to break through."
Murmuring softly to himself, Lin Feng glanced at the two girls who were clearly affected by the pressure and said, "You two, leave this area first. I'll go check it out."
Upon hearing this, the two girls immediately activated their Flying Dou Techniques and retreated into the distance.
Once they were gone, Lin Feng spread his wings and shot toward Zi Yan's cave.
When he arrived, he waved his hand and dispelled the defensive formation he had placed at the entrance, then stepped inside.
The once-dim cave was now bathed in dazzling light emitted by a purple cocoon, so bright it lit up everything inside.
"This girl's finally coming out. Once I refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, we can head to the Central Plains for training."
As he gazed at the increasingly radiant cocoon, Lin Feng's heart surged with excitement.
The dazzling light grew stronger, until finally, faint cracking sounds echoed from within the cocoon.
In no time, fine cracks began to spread all across its surface.
As the fractures multiplied, the shell of the cocoon suddenly began to fall away.
The first fragment fell, triggering a chain reaction.
Piece after piece of purple cocoon fragments fell to the ground along the spreading cracks.
Countless brilliant purple beams of light shot skyward from the gaps!
As the cocoon fully collapsed into fragments on the ground, a massive purple light pillar suddenly erupted skyward!
Relying on his keen eyesight, Lin Feng could vaguely make out a fuzzy human silhouette within the pillar of light.
The pillar continued for a while, then gradually began to fade.
Moments later, it completely vanished.
And from within the light, a purple silhouette stepped forward—stunning Lin Feng.
He had been so focused on going to the Central Plains that he completely forgot that Zi Yan would grow up!
Now, because of her breakthrough, all the barriers covering her body had disappeared.
Faint purple light swirled around her delicate figure, giving her an enchantingly seductive appearance.
Her long, silky purple hair flowed freely, cascading down to her curvaceous backside.
That voluptuous figure with curves in all the right places—there was no trace of the little girl she once was.
Looking at this now mature and wildly alluring woman, Lin Feng, for the first time, felt that Zi Yan was absolutely breathtaking.
Not just her appearance and figure—but even her background and bloodline were flawless!
Having just awakened from her four-month-long slumber within the pillar of light, Zi Yan stretched lazily.
Her already enticing curves were accentuated even further by the motion.
She opened her beautiful eyes lazily, looking around in a daze before recalling she had just broken through.
Then she spotted Lin Feng standing not far ahead—completely dumbfounded.
A mischievous glint lit up in her eyes.
She mimicked the look Xiao Yixian once used during a similar moment and tossed Lin Feng a seductive wink that made his blood boil.
"You little devil... Don't think I won't cut off your pill supply for a whole month."
Suppressing the heat rising within, Lin Feng threw his coat over to her and said gruffly.
"Hehe, now that this lady has finally grown up, you're the one who couldn't control yourself. How's that my fault?"
Zi Yan puffed out her chest with pride—her curves now rivaling even Queen Medusa's.
As she recalled how she had once accidentally offended Xiao Yixian in the Empire of Izumo and was later hilariously "punished," a wave of determination rose in her heart:The next time she saw Xiao Yixian, she'd definitely humiliate her properly.
After all, in this department, she now had the overwhelming advantage.
The thought made Zi Yan break into a silly grin, instantly ruining her previously cold and noble mature aura.
"What are you zoning out for? Hurry up and get dressed."
Seeing her standing there grinning like an idiot, Lin Feng's mouth twitched—he didn't even know what to say.
"I—"
Just as Zi Yan parted her lips to speak, a strange green light suddenly erupted from within her body.
Under the surge of this green glow, Zi Yan's body began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, the previously voluptuous and stunning mature woman was once again reduced to her former petite girl form.
"Oho, looks like we're back to little girl mode again."
Although Lin Feng had more or less expected this outcome, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Suddenly reverting to her childlike form, Zi Yan froze, her brain seemingly crashing for a moment.
Her little head swiveled left and right, eyes wide in disbelief as she stared at her tiny body.
She couldn't understand—it was clear she had already grown up, so why would she suddenly shrink back down?
But when she saw the smile on Lin Feng's face, she instantly exploded in rage.
"Waaaaah! I'm gonna die of anger! Lin Feng, how dare you laugh! I'll fight you to the death!"
With a furious shout and eyes practically spitting fire, Zi Yan leapt onto Lin Feng, flailing and rolling about like a tantruming child.
In the chaos, Lin Feng was left scrambling and disheveled, hurriedly surrendering.
"Alright, alright, your current look is still super cute—I like it too."
He lifted her up gently by the arms and draped his coat over her, smiling as he spoke.
After setting her down, he reached out and pinched her soft, puffy cheeks.
"Tch, don't think just because I look small, I'm easy to fool. Sister Medusa already told me—you like her size the most. Every night you grab on and won't let go!"
Zi Yan huffed, turning her little head aside with a scoff and glaring at Lin Feng with disdain.
At her words, Lin Feng's eye twitched uncontrollably.
Inwardly, he cursed Medusa. Why the hell does she tell this brat everything?!
Where was he supposed to put his old face now?
"Ahem… Since you've already successfully broken through, I'll go call Xiao Yixian. Then we'll head back to the Black-Corner Region."
Sensing the situation was turning increasingly unfavorable for him, Lin Feng flicked his sleeve and made a hasty escape from the cave.
Watching his fleeing figure, Zi Yan turned her head away and muttered with disdain, "Hmph, guilty conscience."
After exiting the cave, Lin Feng took out the soul jade pendants given to him by Medusa and Xiao Yixian, and crushed them one by one to signal his call.
As for the wedding with the girls, over the past few months, he had already discussed it with Yun Lan Sect and the Snake-people Clan.
The wedding... could wait.
Of course, the real reason he wasn't holding the ceremony yet—was because he wanted to wait until his strength reached new heights, and then grandly bring them all home.
Although he was already the leader of the surrounding region's major powers...
Looking at the whole Dou Qi Continent, Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was still just a third-rate force at best.
So he intended to make a name for himself across the continent, and only then would he return to marry the women in a glorious, grand wedding.
