Chapter 5982: She’s Not Old; She’s Around Your Mother’s Age  

Sensing the atmosphere turning awry, Xia Xingchen quickly pulled Chu Feng aside and criticized him, “Chu Feng, you’re too much. Our Huahua isn’t old at all; she’s around the same age as your mother.”

...

Both Chu Feng and Huahua were rendered speechless. Xia Xingchen’s words weren’t helping.

Xia Xingchen sensed the awkwardness in the air, so she quickly added, “Your mum gave birth to you too early. Usually, someone as talented as her doesn’t form a family that early. Going by the norms, it would make more sense for your mother to give birth to you in her thousands. What I’m saying is that both Huahua and I aren’t old, so you should be calling her big sister instead.”

Huahua immediately turned her head away and sneered, “We will be messing up the seniority if he calls me big sister.”

Xia Xingchen waved her hand and said, “Huahua, you have already made your point. It’s clear by this point that Chu Feng didn’t barge into here; he came here with the divination bamboo slip to look for Elder Daoist Starseizer. You weren’t bathing too, so it’s too much for you to accuse Chu Feng of peeping on you. You shouldn’t vent your anger on Chu Feng just because you lost to Jie Ranqing.”

Huahua became agitated hearing those words. “What are you saying, big sister Xingchen! This has nothing to do with Jie Ranqing! I’m just angry that his intrusion forced us to rush back here when we have only just entered that place!”

Huahua suddenly remembered something at this point and sternly glared at Chu Feng, “Wait, you should be trapped at the entrance. How did you break free?”

“I breached the restriction,” Chu Feng replied.

“Don’t mess with me. You don’t have the power to do that. That was a formation constructed by my father.” Huahua didn’t believe Chu Feng.

“Your father is Daoist Starseizer?” Chu Feng was surprised. “Why? What about it?” Huahua puffed up her chest and spoke haughtily.

“I’m in awe of Daoist Starseizer’s means, but I have my means too,” Chu Feng replied.

“What means could you have? You’re arrogant for someone of your age. Even your mother wouldn’t have been able to breach my father’s means at your age,” Huahua sneered.

“Enough, Huahua. What’s there not to believe when you have heard about what Chu Feng has accomplished? Your father might be formidable, but is he stronger than the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion? Do you think it’s a lie that Chu Feng escaped unscathed from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, or that he fabricated conquering the Genesis Bloodline at the Nine Heavens’ Zenith?” Xia Xingchen spoke up on Chu Feng’s behalf.

Huahua’s anger toned down a little, but her arms remained crossed as she murmured in skepticism, “Rumors can be exaggerated. Who knows how much can be trusted? In any case, I don’t believe it.”

Just then, Xia Xingchen sent a voice transmission over, “Chu Feng, why are you looking for Daoist Starseizer?”

“I’d like to ask him some things about my mother,” Chu Feng replied via voice transmission too.

“I know Huahua is at fault here, but that’s how she is. She’s ill, you see.”

“Ill? How so?”

“She suffers from Innate Enmity Toward Men Disease.”

“Is there such a disease?”

“No, I made it up, but Huahua does harbor strong enmity toward all men except for Daoist Starseizer. Since you’re here to ask for help, I can only ask you to hold it in for now. Huahua is Daoist Starseizer’s daughter, albeit an adopted one, but he dotes a lot on her.

“You also know about what happened between me and the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect. They have put me on the wanted list everywhere, and the only reason I was able to seek refuge here is thanks to Huahua.

“Her anger is understandable too. We have been working on a remnant recently, and it wasn’t easy for her to decipher the method to enter it. But shortly after we entered the remnant, she noticed that someone had intruded here, so we had to rush back right away. This means that she has to restart the deciphering process again.”

Chu Feng finally understood why Huahua was so angry.

“Huahua isn’t a bad person. At least, she treats me very well,” Xia Xingchen said.

“Elder, I trust your friends. I truly wish to meet Daoist Starseizer. Is there a way I can meet him? I have thick skin, so I don’t mind lowering my head if that’s what it takes,” Chu Feng asked. “Daoist Starseizer isn’t here right now, and I’m not sure where he is either. Huahua is the only one who knows his whereabouts. How about this? I’ll find a way to keep you here for now. With your wits, I believe that you can find a way to win Huahua over and convince her to tell you where Daoist Starseizer is,” Xia Xingchen said.

“All right.” Chu Feng nodded. It wasn’t easy for him to come here, so he couldn’t just leave like that.

So, Xia Xingchen turned to Huahua with a bright smile, but before she could say a word, Huahua swiftly interjected, “The two of you exchanged quite a few words. Are you talking bad about me?”

“Our Huahua is so smart! There’s no hiding anything from you. But we weren’t talking bad but complimenting you!” Xia Xingchen replied with a radiant smile.

She turned to Chu Feng and said, “Chu Feng, what are you waiting for? Apologize to Elder Huahua!”

Chu Feng immediately bowed. “I apologize, elder. I came at a bad time and unwittingly wasted your time. I deserve to die a thousand times over.”

However, Huahua coldly sneered, “Don’t pull that with me. You’re here to look for my father, right? My father isn’t here. I don’t know when he’s returning, but it’ll be three years at least. Come back in three years, though I can’t guarantee that we’ll still be here three years from now.”

Xia Xingchen was right. Huahua was planning to chase him off.

Xia Xingchen quickly spoke up,” Huahua, don’t you want to breach that remnant? Chu Feng is the most talented world spiritist in the existing world of cultivation. He might just be of aid to us.”

“Him?” Huahua’s disdain deepened. “Putting aside whether that title is reliable or not, that remnant we’re dealing with right now isn’t something that mere juniors like them can interfere in.”

“Huahua, Chu Feng has helped me before. Please give him a chance on my account, all right?” Xia Xingchen tugged Huahua’s arms coyly.

“Since big sister Xingchen is saying so, I’ll give him a chance. I’ll pose a problem to him, and he’ll be allowed to travel with us if he can decipher it. Otherwise, he has to leave right away. Does that sound fair?”

Before Xia Xingchen could reply, Chu Feng said, “All right.”

“Good. Decipher this for me. I’ll give you two hours. You are to leave right away if you fail to decipher it within two hours.” Huahua tossed a formation sphere that was around the size of a watermelon over.

“Huahua, this...” Xia Xingchen was speechless when she saw the formation sphere.

It would take an early True Dragon World Spiritist to decipher the formation sphere, whereas Chu Feng was still a God-cloak World Spiritist. Huahua was asking for the impossible.

The next second, Xia Xingchen’s eyes widened. Huahua’s lower jaw fell slackened too, and she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

Chu Feng shook the formation sphere, and the formation sphere bloomed into a beautiful flower. This was a sign that the formation sphere had been deciphered.
