Chapter 411 Leng Wuyan: You want me?

Several days later.

Li Xuanfeng, Leng Wuyan, and An Ya appeared on a life planet an unknown number of light-years away from Xuanxiao Star.

Leng Wuyan and Li Xuanfeng each held one of An Ya's small hands, walking through the bustling streets, looking like a family of three.

An invisible field enveloped the three of them; all pedestrians who brushed past them automatically flowed around them like water encountering a reef, unable to see or touch them.

The three walked unhurriedly, An Ya curiously looking around. Her unique experiences since childhood meant her parents and grandmother rarely took her to crowded places, so for the little one, many things were full of novelty.

"Senior Leng, you mean there's a Saint King hunting you? And if you use your power and it aggravates your injuries, he might be able to sense your location?"

Li Xuanfeng held An Ya's small hand, turning his head to look at the cold beauty who held An Ya's other hand.

After several days, Li Xuanfeng finally learned a rather speechless piece of news from this ice-block-like cold beauty: Leng Wuyan was being pursued by a Saint King!

This Saint King was not one of the three Saint Kings of the Star Realm, but from that unknown force specializing in hunting Prodigies. Leng Wuyan had been targeted by this force many years ago. Initially, those who came after her weren't this strong, but each time she killed one, a stronger one would appear. Last time, a Saint King was directly dispatched to deal with her.

If not for Leng Wuyan's powerful life-saving methods, and the fact that the Saint King only wanted to capture her alive, she might have already fallen.

Even though she successfully escaped, she paid a heavy price, suffering severe injuries and a significant drop in strength.

After a Half-Saint successfully passes the Heavenly Tribulation and achieves a Breakthrough to the Saint Realm, their power transforms into Saint Force. A Saint King's power is even more formidable; their attacks no longer cause ordinary wounds, but Dao injuries imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Once struck by a Saint King's attack, even if one doesn't die, Dao Rhyme Laws will linger in the wound, continuously eroding it and making it difficult to heal.

The injury would even worsen, and not even the vigorous vitality of a Saint could counteract this corrosive force.

Moreover, a Saint King can lock onto a location based on the lingering Dao marks. If Leng Wuyan accidentally agitated the Dao marks while using her power, that Saint King could sense her approximate location.

If the Dao marks were disturbed during healing, her location could also potentially be sensed by the opponent.

Therefore, Leng Wuyan's situation was actually quite dangerous; she could be found by the Saint King at any moment.

Li Xuanfeng had not witnessed the strength of a Saint King, but from his previous discussions with Lian Yuezhou, he had a clear understanding of the differences between various Realms.

Facing a Saint King, even if he and Leng Wuyan at her peak strength teamed up, they wouldn't have much chance of winning. What's more, Leng Wuyan was currently in a weakened state, constantly needing to divert attention to suppress her injuries to prevent them from worsening.

"He should have already reached Xuanxiao Star."

Leng Wuyan still spoke with a blank expression, like a three-no girl.

Li Xuanfeng couldn't tell if she genuinely had no emotions or if she was just very good at hiding them.

"Senior Leng, you risked increasing your exposure to save me. This favor, Junior will certainly remember."

Li Xuanfeng said with a smile.

Leng Wuyan did not speak.

Li Xuanfeng was used to her like this. Leng Wuyan was the most taciturn Daughter of Destiny he had ever met, as if she had difficulty speaking, preferring not to speak if she could, and being very concise even when she did.

The three still walked like a family of three on an outing, unhurriedly traversing the long street and arriving at a scenic spot in the city with small bridges and flowing water, where they boarded a painted pleasure boat together.

Leng Wuyan and Li Xuanfeng sat opposite each other. An Ya, seeing that neither of them spoke, silently observed the scenery on both banks.

Her eyelids slightly lifted, and her clear, bright eyes looked at Li Xuanfeng. When the latter looked over, Leng Wuyan's eyelashes fluttered, and she shifted her gaze away.

Meeting Li Xuanfeng's gaze always reminded her of that moment a few days ago. Although it was only for an instant, she was indeed affected by the Blood Charm Saint at that moment, even having the thought of throwing herself into Li Xuanfeng's embrace and something happening.

For Li Xuanfeng, such a thing was immediately cast to the back of his mind; after all, he had many such experiences and wouldn't find it unusual.

But for Leng Wuyan, who possessed the Nine Nether Frost Body, naturally had a cold, unapproachable demeanor that kept male cultivators at bay, and had no experience with romantic relationships, that single moment in her long cultivation life was the only time she had experienced such primal desire and悸动. Of course, she would find it unusual and profound.

"What does Senior Leng wish to say?"

Seeing her like this, Li Xuanfeng smiled.

The beauty was indeed beautiful, but too aloof. Even if she wanted to say something, she disliked taking the initiative to speak.

"You have the Wood Green Spirit Fire?"

After a slight pause, Leng Wuyan met Li Xuanfeng's gaze again, though her exquisite face remained as expressionless as ever.

Li Xuanfeng nodded.

Leng Wuyan should be able to recognize the Wood Green Spirit Fire; her question was merely to get confirmation from him.

After receiving Li Xuanfeng's personal affirmation, Leng Wuyan's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of excitement stirred within her.

"Could we make a trade?"

Leng Wuyan looked at Li Xuanfeng.

"Senior wants me to help you heal your Dao injury?"

Li Xuanfeng guessed Leng Wuyan's thoughts.

The power contained in the Wood Green Spirit Fire was very strong; taken alone, it actually posed no threat to a powerhouse of Leng Wuyan's caliber. However, its healing efficacy was absolutely something even a Late Stage Saint could not ignore.

Leng Wuyan nodded, then her cold, beautiful lips parted slightly, saying, "Name your price."

Just like their previous trade, Li Xuanfeng would propose the compensation. If she happened to possess it and it was within an acceptable range, she would be willing to trade it.

"Does Senior have any more precious Body Refining treasures?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

Leng Wuyan shook her head.

She used to have many precious Body Refining treasures, but she had used them all herself. The only remaining Earth Elemental Fire Flow Slurry was exchanged with Li Xuanfeng for High Grade spirit medicine last time.

"What about Soul-related secret arts?"

Li Xuanfeng asked again.

Leng Wuyan swept her jade hand across the air in front of her, and several runes condensed out of thin air. These were all of her Soul secret arts.

Li Xuanfeng's Divine Sense sank into them, gaining a general understanding. These were all Soul-related secret arts, but their quality was rather average, not comparable to the Soul Forging Art he had once received through return, and even less so to the profound Soul Seizing Art it contained.

"What about Martial Skills?"

Li Xuanfeng asked again.

Leng Wuyan condensed a few more runes. After Li Xuanfeng scanned them, he found none suitable for himself.

"What about Cultivation Techniques?"

Li Xuanfeng continued to ask.

Leng Wuyan patiently condensed runes again. After Li Xuanfeng's Divine Sense swept through them, there were still none suitable for him.

He had the "Blazing Flame Art," which was a supreme secret art that not only came with Martial Skills related to Innate spiritual fires but could also be used as a Cultivation Technique.

So, the items Leng Wuyan offered really couldn't attract him. Even if he were to give them to other Daughters of Destiny for a return, the final reward probably wouldn't be much better than the "Blazing Flame Art," as the "Blazing Flame Art's" power ceiling could increase with the collection of more Innate spiritual fires.

"What about weapons or various cultivation-related resources?"

Li Xuanfeng looked at Leng Wuyan.

The latter still patiently took out various weapons and cultivation resources, but Li Xuanfeng still couldn't choose any.

Aside from her own weapon being a Saint Weapon, none of Leng Wuyan's other weapons reached the Saint Weapon level.

As for various cultivation resources, Li Xuanfeng likewise had no need for them.

Leng Wuyan swept her jade hand, and all the runes disappeared. She looked at Li Xuanfeng, but did not speak.

Li Xuanfeng also stared at her without speaking, taking the opportunity to size her up a few times.

"You want me?"

Leng Wuyan suddenly spoke, causing Li Xuanfeng to freeze in place.
