"Have you lost your mind? Even if you wanted to test the effect, you didn’t have to hurt yourself to do it, did you?" Su Miaoke said anxiously.
"Just trust me. It won’t cut," Chu Feng said confidently.
With that, Chu Feng directly swiped the knife forcefully across his own arm a few times.
However, no blood seeped out. Instead, there was a sound of metal scraping against metal.
The sight left Su Miaoke completely dumbfounded.
"Oh my god, is... is this real?" Su Miaoke could hardly believe what she was seeing.
"Of course it’s real!" Seeing that Su Miaoke was still skeptical, Chu Feng slashed a few more times, even harder, but his skin remained completely unmarked.
"When did your skin get so tough?" Su Miaoke exclaimed.
"This isn’t even that tough. It’s just average," Chu Feng said.
"Are you part wild boar or something? It won’t even cut? I’m still not convinced." Still skeptical, Su Miaoke took the knife right from Chu Feng’s hand.
With that, she began slashing at Chu Feng’s arm.
However, the result was the same. Chu Feng’s arm was completely unaffected, and all she could hear was the sound of metal scraping.
"You really are tough as nails. Honey, when did you get so thick-skinned? Don’t tell me you’re bulletproof now," Su Miaoke asked, her face still a mask of shock.
Chu Feng: "..."
"It’s not that I’m thick-skinned; it’s the result of my recent Cultivation. A bullet could definitely get through. I’m not at the point where I can block bullets yet," Chu Feng explained.
"But they generally wouldn’t be able to hit me, unless I just stood there and let them shoot," Chu Feng added.
"Chu Feng, are you even human anymore? You haven’t turned into some kind of spirit, have you?" Su Miaoke asked, sizing him up with a strange look.
Chu Feng: "..."
"So, can you finally tell me why you appeared in my room that day? I saw an old man that night, and you said he was your master? What’s that all about?" Su Miaoke suddenly pressed.
"Yes, he’s my master." Chu Feng nodded, not denying it.
’After all, without the God of Wealth, he wouldn’t be where he was today.’
That was why Chu Feng had long since come to regard the God of Wealth as his master.
Even without a formal induction ceremony.
"You said before he’s the God of Wealth? Don’t tell me you’re his Scattering Treasure Boy?" Su Miaoke’s eyes widened as she asked with curiosity.
Thinking back on all the money Chu Feng had made recently, Su Miaoke seriously suspected he might actually be a Scattering Treasure Boy.
’Who else could rake in nearly sixty billion in such a short amount of time!’
"What are you thinking? If I were a Scattering Treasure Boy, do you think you’d still be seeing me here?" Chu Feng said, rolling his eyes at Su Miaoke.
"Then what about all this Cultivation you’re doing? If you cultivate to the very end, can you really fly through the heavens and ascend to the Immortal Realm?" Su Miaoke asked again.
"I don’t know, but if you work hard at your Cultivation, there’s definitely a chance," Chu Feng replied.
"Just a chance?" Su Miaoke sounded a little disappointed.
"Having a chance is already incredible. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to ascend to the Immortal Realm? The path is said to be harder than reaching the heavens. But with me here, don’t worry. I’ll definitely find a sliver of opportunity for you," Chu Feng said.
"Hmph, of course I’ll cultivate properly. Besides, my Cultivation has been feeling great lately. I bet I’ll see some real results soon," Su Miaoke said, full of confidence.
"Just focus on your Cultivation for now. Make sure every step is solid," Chu Feng advised.
"Don’t you worry, I definitely will," Su Miaoke replied confidently.
As the two were chatting, Chu Feng’s phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone and saw the name: Jiang Tao.
"It’s Boss Jiang," Chu Feng said.
He then answered Jiang Tao’s call.
"Boss Jiang, what brings you to call me today?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
Although Chu Feng didn’t know why Jiang Tao was calling, he was certain the man was looking for a favor. After all, nobody seeks you out for no reason.
In reality, Chu Feng had no idea that the one sentence he had said that day had caused Jiang Tao to hesitate and struggle for many days.
Chu Feng had told him to get a checkup, and this phrase, with its deep implication, had led Jiang Tao to unconsciously connect it to his own personal problem.
In his mind, Chu Feng must have discovered his secret and was offering a veiled reminder.
Of course, it wasn’t that Jiang Tao hadn’t tried to get checkups and treatment; he had simply been to all the major hospitals, and none of them had been able to cure him.
He had even been willing to spend a fortune to hire skilled masters from Martial Arts Families to help treat him, but not a single one would give him the time of day.
Even the few who did agree to see him were ultimately unable to solve the root problem.
His only hope was to find the successor of a legendary miracle doctor, or some ancient physician who had lived for a hundred years.
But despite searching the world over, he had never found a single one.
"It’s just that I haven’t seen you in so many days, Brother Chu! I was starting to miss you. You haven’t called me all this time either," Jiang Tao said with a laugh.
"I’ve been busy lately. Haven’t had the time," Chu Feng replied.
"Don’t be so busy! No matter how busy you are, you have to make time to rest. How about this: I’ll have my driver come pick you up. Come have lunch at my place," Jiang Tao said.
"Boss Jiang, you sure know how to pick a time. As it happens, I’m free today. I’ll bring my wife along, and we can talk about whatever you need over the meal," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Excellent! I’ll have the driver head over right away. We’ll have lunch at my old hometown, a little fishing village by the sea. All the seafood you can eat," Jiang Tao said cheerfully.
"Alright, just give me the address and I’ll drive over myself. No need to trouble Boss Jiang to send someone," Chu Feng said.
After getting the address from Jiang Tao, Chu Feng hung up the phone.
"Jiang Tao invited you to lunch?" Su Miaoke asked.
"Yes. I suspect he wants to ask me for a favor," Chu Feng said.
"Is it about him not being able to have kids?" Su Miaoke continued to ask.
"That must be it. Why else would he invite me to a meal out of the blue?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Honey, are you confident you can help?" Su Miaoke asked curiously.
"I don’t know. I’ll have to give it a try to find out. Who can say for sure right now?" Chu Feng said lightly.
"Alright then. I’ll go get the car. You should go change into something more presentable," Su Miaoke said.
"Forget it. No need to change. Casual is fine. After all, he’s the one who needs something from me," Chu Feng said calmly.
"I guess that works. We’re just going to his home to eat, after all. To be honest, I haven’t had seafood from a Beihai fishing village in ages," Su Miaoke said.
Although Jiang Tao was rich, he was a Beihai native, born and raised. He had grown up in a small fishing village.
Now that he had money, he had built a large villa in that same village. After all, there’s no feeling like being back home.
