Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 431: Chapter 430: An Innocent Young Man’s Second-hand Kiss

Ji Huang’Er was absolutely livid.

When she had traded the Ancient Poison Flame and the Fire of Hope for five Spirit Fires, Ji Huang’Er had actually felt a little guilty, as if she had taken advantage of Qin Feng.

However, after Qin Feng used the Ancient Poison Flame and the Fire of Hope to kill Ding Li, Ji Huang’Er had a nagging suspicion she’d been had.

And just as she’d suspected, a quick inquiry at the Contribution Hall revealed that a single Heaven and Earth Divine Fire was worth at least fifty Spirit Fires. Ji Huang’Er was practically shaking with rage.

"So the cat’s out of the bag already?" Qin Feng said with a dry cough, looking at the fiery young woman who was seething with anger.

"Junior Sister Ji, surely there’s some misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? A Heaven and Earth Divine Fire is a Divine Object that far surpasses a Spirit Fire! And you... you managed to get mine for only five Spirit Fires..."

Ji Huang’Er bit her lip, her beautiful eyes glaring daggers at Qin Feng as her chest heaved violently.

Qin Feng almost laughed out loud. ’This silly girl finally figured it out.’

Of course, Qin Feng had no intention of admitting he’d taken advantage of her.

A glint of amusement flashed in his dark eyes as Qin Feng retorted, "Junior Sister Ji, that’s not quite right. When we made our deal, did I force you to offer up those two Spirit Fires?"

Ji Huang’Er froze. ’Now that I think about it, he didn’t,’ she realized. At the time, she had been the one to covet Qin Feng’s Spirit Fires and had voluntarily offered the Fire of Hope to make a trade.

"And did I deceive you in any way? It’s just business. You name a price, I make a counteroffer. That’s perfectly normal!"

"But... you only spent five Spirit Fires to get a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire..." Ji Huang’Er seethed.

Qin Feng chuckled. "Junior Sister Ji, in that case, who do you think is to blame?"

Ji Huang’Er finally began to calm down. Looking back, she realized it had been her own fault from the start for not knowing the true value of her items.

It was just that the thought of this man, who clearly knew he was dealing with two Divine Fires, silently taking them from her for a mere five Spirit Fires... it was too much to swallow.

It was so infuriating!

So shameless!

"I don’t care! You have to compensate me!" Ji Huang’Er demanded, hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury.

Had any other woman spoken to him like that, Qin Feng would have ignored her completely. But looking at this silly girl in red, he felt a strange stirring in his heart.

The girl’s willfulness, her fiery temper, even her petty scheming—it all sent a ripple through the stagnant waters of Qin Feng’s heart, making him feel truly alive.

There were many beautiful young women around Qin Feng, each with their own unique charm, like the changing seasons.

He might act warm toward them, but his heart had always remained as still as a frozen lake, without the slightest ripple. Yet, faced with this fiery, willful, and silly girl, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel something different.

She was the only woman, aside from Honglian, who had ever managed to stir his heart.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Qin Feng staring blankly, Ji Huang’Er’s slender eyebrows shot up. The fleeting warmth that occasionally flashed through the dark-haired youth’s eyes put her on guard.

’Mother always said men are nothing but smooth-talking liars. Don’t tell me this Qin Feng guy is trying to make a move on me!’

Though her eyes were fierce, the red-clad girl couldn’t help but take a few steps back, putting some distance between them.

Snapping out of his reverie, Qin Feng glanced at the fiery girl who had quietly retreated. He then spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"You’re the only other person here. Of course I’m looking at you."

"What’s there to look at? Haven’t you had your fill?" Ji Huang’Er huffed, though a sliver of delight bloomed in her heart.

"Don’t be so conceited. I was just thinking of a way to compensate you," he said, shattering her pleasant thoughts. He glanced at her face, which had once again clouded over with anger.

"The Ancient Poison Flame and a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire are, after all, rare Divine Objects. Their value can’t be measured by ordinary treasures. And I imagine someone of your status doesn’t lack for ordinary treasures, either."

"Of course. The Ancient Poison Flame is a top-tier Spirit Fire, and the Fire of Hope is a Divine Object—a supreme Treasure of Heaven and Earth. Their value certainly can’t be measured by common baubles!" Ji Huang’Er declared, lifting her delicate chin like a proud swan.

Staring directly at Qin Feng, Ji Huang’Er asked, "So, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Qin Feng’s eyes darted slyly before he announced with an air of great righteousness, "Naturally, I will compensate you with the most precious thing I possess!"

"The most precious thing?" Ji Huang’Er’s eyes lit up. She knew the young man in black before her was widely considered the "Duobao Child" of All Stars Academy.

The Life Spring Water he had shown alone was no less valuable than the Ancient Poison Flame.

Perhaps the black-clad youth truly did possess a treasure on par with a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire like the Fire of Hope.

"What is it? Hurry up and show me!" Ji Huang’Er urged, her phoenix-like eyes fixed on Qin Feng.

"Alright, I’ll give it to you right now!" Qin Feng chuckled. In the next instant, his figure flashed, and he was right in front of Ji Huang’er.

"What are you doing, Qin Feng?" The color drained from Ji Huang’Er’s face as she tried to retreat, but it was too late.

Like a gale, Qin Feng pinned Ji Huang’Er against the wall. He lowered his head and captured her crimson lips. They were warm, soft, and fragrant. He domineeringly parted her lips. Ji Huang’Er’s phoenix eyes flew wide in disbelief. She couldn’t fathom that Qin Feng would actually dare to kiss her.

Whether in her clan or at All Stars Academy, Ji Huang’Er was a goddess pursued by countless admirers. No matter how improper their thoughts, her suitors had always been courteous and respectful. Who would ever dare to be so brazen?

For a moment, Ji Huang’Er was dazed. The next, she snapped back to reality, an indescribable fury erupting in her heart. A terrifying, blood-red flame burst from her body, instantly incinerating everything within a ten-yard radius.

Qin Feng felt his tongue go numb as it was instantly turned to ash. Alarmed, he hastily activated his Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique. His Essence Blood surged, regenerating the tongue in an instant.

At the same time, his figure flickered like a thousand phantoms and vanished without a sound.

"Junior Sister Ji, your compensation has been delivered! That was the most precious thing I possess—a secondhand kiss from an innocent young man!"

Even as he fled, Qin Feng didn’t forget to explain.

Ji Huang’Er had finally snapped out of the daze of having her first kiss stolen.

Upon hearing his words, she grew pale with fury.

"Shameless! Pervert!"

Her emotions in turmoil, the aura around Ji Huang’Er spiraled out of control!

A tangible wave of the Heaven-Burning Blood Flame erupted. The Void itself seemed to melt before it, and the blood-red flames utterly destroyed all the surrounding buildings.

RUMBLE!

It was as if an earthquake had struck the Arena of the Stars.

The students of All Stars Academy, who had been gradually leaving, could only stare dumbfounded at the erupting Ji Huang’Er.

Ji Huang’Er scanned the area, but Qin Feng was already long gone, not a trace of him to be found.

"You damn pervert! You hooligan! Don’t think you can get away with this just by hiding! I’m not done with you!"

Engulfed in flames, Ji Huang’Er’s exquisitely beautiful face was a mask of unbearable shame and fury.

The mere thought of Qin Feng’s "secondhand kiss from an innocent young man" made her want to commit murder.

More than anything, she was disgusted. She felt she might lose her appetite for the next three years.

In a flash of fire, Ji Huang’Er shot out of the Arena of the Stars, radiating a murderous Evil Qi. She was going to find Qin Feng and fight him to the death!

...

Just as Ji Huang’Er was scouring the world for Qin Feng, he had already slipped out of the Arena of the Stars. He was on his way to All Stars Academy to collect his reward for placing in the top ten of the Star Martial Arts Assembly: the fief of an ancient city.
