Chapter 2560: The Greatest Secret
"I’m begging you, please spare the Dragon Transformation Fruit. I’ve been waiting for countless years for it..."
The Flood Dragon looked at Lin Feng, its tone more earnest. It had no choice but to hope Lin Feng would spare the Dragon Transformation Fruit. If Lin Feng didn’t, it would have to fight to the death. The Dragon Transformation Fruit was its hope, and it didn’t want Lin Feng to take it under any circumstances.
Seeing the Flood Dragon like this, Lin Feng couldn’t help but laugh. He hadn’t expected this Flood Dragon to be so interesting. He said to it, "Actually, I really don’t care much about the Dragon Transformation Grass. Since you asked, I won’t touch it."
With that, he led the party deeper in. The reason he didn’t force the issue with the Dragon Transformation Grass wasn’t because he feared the Flood Dragon, but because he truly didn’t care, and seeing the demon beast’s intelligence, he didn’t want to push things to the limit. After all, every demon beast is a living being with its own destiny.
But little did Lin Feng know, his action would cause the Flood Dragon to be immensely grateful. When they met again in the future, it would be under such circumstances...
As Lin Feng and his group walked away, the Flood Dragon was filled with gratitude, taking a good look at Lin Feng and remembering this extraordinary human. Then it moved toward the Dragon Transformation Grass, determined to guard it closely. Once it matured, it would have a chance to advance to Demon Venerable.
They traveled another three hundred miles or so when Lin Feng suddenly stopped, leaving Tao Tao and the others confused, not understanding what Lin Feng intended.
"You can’t go any further inside. It’s filled with Demon Venerable-level beasts. At your strength, it’s far too dangerous," Lin Feng said seriously to Tao Tao and the others. It wasn’t that he refused to take them along, but he couldn’t guarantee their safety. This was beneath the sea, and even the aftereffects of the waves would be unbearable for them.
Hearing this, Tao Tao and the others all nodded, indicating they understood Lin Feng’s reasoning. Only Si Hong looked at Lin Feng with confusion in her eyes, unable to grasp what Lin Feng would do next. Were they supposed to just wait there?
Lin Feng noticed Si Hong’s expression, and smilingly said to her, "Now, I’m going to show you my greatest secret."
What she heard only made Si Hong more confused. However, suddenly the surroundings changed, and she found herself and the others in a strange environment, nowhere near the seabed, but in a remarkably beautiful world!
"How is this possible? Where is this place?"
Si Hong was truly stunned, covering her mouth in shock. Although she trusted Lin Feng wouldn’t harm her, such an abrupt change was beyond belief. She couldn’t understand what Lin Feng had done to bring them to this scene...
Truth be told, looking at this unfamiliar world, Si Hong’s mind was nearly overwhelmed. Even as the daughter of the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, once the Spirit Butterfly Fairy, she had seen much but couldn’t fathom how Lin Feng had achieved this.
Tao Tao and the others stayed behind Lin Feng without saying anything. They had always known this day would eventually come, but such a revelation had to come from Lin Feng, so they said nothing to explain.
"Follow me."
Lin Feng patted Si Hong on the shoulder and led her towards Wendao Pavilion, explaining as they walked, "This is a unique space I refined; you could say it’s my greatest secret. Now that you’re a part of my life, you must know this secret too. But allow me to stress one thing, even to your father, you mustn’t speak of this. Otherwise, it would mean certain death for me, and disaster for everyone here, including yourself!"
Si Hong was no stranger to vast experiences and understood the implications of Lin Feng’s words. A personally refined space of this nature was unimaginable, and it could hold living beings. Such a space, even her father lacked, and possibly only a few in the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm possessed. If this secret were to leak, it would spell catastrophe.
With this thought, Si Hong’s expression turned solemn. Looking at Lin Feng, she earnestly said, "I understand."
Three simple words were enough to convey her stance. Yet, she hadn’t expected what Lin Feng would say next...
"Actually, I refined this innate Dharma Treasure, the Cave Heaven Mansion, while in the Lower Realm. I’ve also brought women from the Lower Realm here through this space. So beside Tao Tao and Lingling, there are others..."
Lin Feng openly admitted to Si Hong, but he stopped short, unsure of how to continue. Si Hong was different from Tao Tao and the others; she was the daughter of a Divine Venerable. He trusted she would understand what he meant.
"And there are other women..." Upon hearing this, Si Hong was momentarily speechless. However, she quickly understood the crucial point: Lin Feng’s Cave Heaven Mansion was an extraordinary existence, the greatest secret. And bringing women to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm through it was even more secretive. By revealing this to her, Lin Feng needed a clear indication of her stance.
Honestly, she accepted Tao Tao and Lingling because she had interacted with them and knew what kind of people they were, making their presence bearable. As for Lin Feng having other women, she hadn’t considered it. She thought sharing Lin Feng with three women was already a concession, not expecting there would be more, leaving her genuinely troubled.
She initially wanted to complain to Lin Feng, but considering the Cave Heaven Mansion secret he kept from her, she wasn’t so upset anymore. Yet, she still felt conflicted, giving Lin Feng an exasperated look before sighing and saying, "Alright then, let me meet these sisters."
She was at a loss for further action. Resisting wasn’t an option as Lin Feng had shared his greatest secret, and she couldn’t leave him. Accepting the situation was the only way forward.
Perhaps noticing her thoughts, Lin Feng calmly smiled and reassured her, "Don’t worry, they’re all easy to get along with. Once you know them better, you’ll understand."
At that moment, Tao Tao and Lingling approached Si Hong, smiling as they said, "Actually, before we became Lin Feng’s women, we didn’t know about Sister Wan’er and the others either. But trust us, Lin Feng is right. Sister Wan’er and the others are truly nice."
Tangyuan and Ma Biaohu, recognizing this as a matter they shouldn’t meddle in, gave Lin Feng a meaningful look and left to find the two Great Demon Venerables. But the look they gave Lin Feng was peculiar, a mix of encouragement as if saying: Go ahead, accept them—the sooner, the better...
Lin Feng shook his head at these two, saying nothing as he led the three women to Wendao Pavilion. When they arrived at the pavilion, he called for the women to come down and greet them, with Ding Wan’er quickly leading them.
Upon seeing another unfamiliar woman, the female companions immediately understood the situation. Ding Wan’er gave Lin Feng a sideways glance, pondering how long since he’d brought another. Exactly how did this happen?
Yet her face displayed only warmth and smiles as she brought Si Hong into Wendao Pavilion while using Divine Sense to communicate with Lin Feng.
"What’s the situation?"
"She’s the daughter of the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, the Spirit Butterfly Fairy, named Si Hong."
"What! How did she end up with you?"
"It’s a long story; she’d noticed me for a while. I saved her this time..."
"So that’s how it is. Don’t worry, I’ve got this."
"Hmm, it’s best you women chat. I’ll check on Zhu Tao and the others..."
"Go ahead, come back later."
...
After a brief exchange with Ding Wan’er, Lin Feng left to check on Zhu Tao. Regarding Si Hong, he trusted Ding Wan’er to manage the situation. It wasn’t that he deliberately sought Si Hong; it was the peculiar circumstances...
Once Lin Feng left, Ding Wan’er organized a small gathering with the sisters, personally leading them in preparing a delicious feast with Earthly flavors. The women gathered around a large round table, and the atmosphere was invigoratingly spirited.
"Sister Si Hong, tell us about your story with Teacher Lin, won’t you?"
"Well..."
"Don’t worry, we’re all Teacher Lin’s women here. Nothing to hide, is there? Oh, did Teacher Lin do that with you?"
"Xiaoyu, stop causing trouble! Si Hong, don’t mind her. Xiaoyu just has a wild nature."
"Hmm..."
"Actually, being Lin Feng’s women, we have nothing to hide. Our situation makes it inconvenient to go out, and if we do, we’d just be a burden. We’ll have to rely on you to watch over Lin Feng outside."
"It’s my duty..."
...
A group of women having a meal enjoyed an extraordinary atmosphere. Discussions like these were best resolved among themselves. Throughout the meal, as they talked, Si Hong realized who Ding Wan’er and the others were, fascinated by how Lin Feng gathered such women. However, she also felt relief, noticing that Ding Wan’er and the others were genuinely easy to get along with, and could tell their deep affection for Lin Feng...
