Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law

Xiao Chuanqi and the others were slightly startled upon seeing the Spirit Stones in their hands. Xiao Chuanqi repeatedly said, "My Lord, this must not be done. Spirit Stones are extremely precious in the Outer Battlefield. Just keep them for your own use, we can recover using some Recovery Pills."

Sima Zhantian and the others also pushed the Spirit Stones back. They all understood the importance of Spirit Stones in the Outer Battlefield. These were the universal currency of the battlefield and could also be used for cultivation and recovery.

They were now clear that in the Outer Battlefield, Spirit Stones were the true hard currency. Those things like gold and silver paper currency on Earth were all insubstantial. No one cared about them and they were completely unnecessary. Compared to Spirit Stones, some Recovery Pills would be more economical.

Shadow also said, "My Lord, your consumption is greater. Keep these Spirit Stones for your own recovery. We are not greatly harmed."

Ye Feng looked at the group with a mixture of tears and laughter. These fellows had actually almost exhausted themselves, and in the Outer Battlefield, it was impossible to recover naturally without relying on Spirit Stones and Pill Medicines.

"Everyone take these, it's an order, I still have plenty of Spirit Stones for myself."

Ye Feng directly chastised them and sent the Spirit Stones back into their hands while also taking out some Recovery Pills from his Space Ring.

"The Undead Centipede in Skeleton Forest must have been injured, otherwise, it couldn't be so weak. Our luck, to speak well, we were transported to one of the Legendary Four Great Desolate Lands, but to speak poorly, that Undead Centipede just happened to be injured. Otherwise, as soon as it appeared, we might already have been wiped out."

Ye Feng smiled faintly with a hint of sentimentality.

He wasn't foolish. He had also noticed that the Undead Centipede was likely injured, hence its sluggish movements. While escaping from the Skeleton Forest, he discovered that the Undead Centipede didn't chase after him at all, which solidified his thought. If the Undead Centipede had been a bit faster in its attack, not even Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm or Powerhouses of the Sacred Realm would be its match.

Needless to say, a single beam of black light could easily handle a person.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian and the others had a deep look in their eyes. Weak? They had all been scared to death already, with a single roar almost blasting them into oblivion.

"It's all thanks to our Lord's mighty strength; otherwise, we might not have been able to get out of this Skeleton Forest."

Xiao Chuanqi said somewhat sheepishly.

Ye Feng simply waved his hand, laughing, "No need for flattery, go ahead and recover. I'll protect you guys first. Once you have recovered, then you can take turns protecting me."

Crisis could arise at any moment in the Outer Battlefield. Considering their current states, if a few Alien Beasts or enemies at the Half-Step Golden Core level suddenly attacked, it would be troublesome. They had to recover quickly.

The group understood the importance of regaining their strength and didn't dawdle any longer. Holding the Spirit Stones given by Ye Feng, they began sitting in meditation to recover their own strength.

However, Shadow herself had yet to take action. She looked at Ye Feng, originally wanting to say something, but at that moment, Ye Feng had already looked over and frowned, "Shadow, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and recover your strength."

"As you command, my Lord!"

Shadow held back what she wanted to say and sat down cross-legged, also starting to recover her strength.

She actually wanted to tell Ye Feng that she had been really worried earlier, but now it seemed better not to say anything.

Ye Feng, for his part, didn't care about these things. His spiritual power began to release, scanning the surroundings for alerts and acting as the protector for the six people.

An hour later, Xiao Chuanqi and Shadow were the first to open their eyes, a sharp light flashing in them, and their aura seemed stronger than when they first entered the Outer Battlefield.

Xiao Chuanqi leapt to his feet and knelt on one knee before Ye Feng, "My Lord, it seems my strength has improved again. Although the progress is small, it is indeed an improvement."

A trace of joy was visible on Xiao Chuanqi's face; it was significant for someone with his already considerable strength to make further progress.

Shadow also came over, "My Lord, Shadow has also improved!"

"My Lord, Sima Zhantian as well!"

"My Lord, don't forget me, Leng Wuming!"

...

Each of the six had a hint of excitement on their faces, as nearly all of them had made some small improvements in their strength.

Seeing this, Ye Feng also revealed a smile. Naturally, he was happy that everyone had made progress. Actually, this was not surprising. Having all escaped from countless Skeletons at the Martial King and Peak Martial King Levels, they had consumed a huge amount of energy which also accelerated their growth. Coupled with the cultivation and recovery from the Spirit Essence inside the Spirit Stones just now, this had led to the improvements in their strength.

"Indeed, the Outer Battlefield didn't disappoint. Coming here was the right decision; it seems the Golden Core Realm is within reach for you all."

Ye Feng laughed heartily, clearly in a good mood. The greatest gains from Skeleton Forest had been his own; having absorbed a large number of black dots, he opened nearly forty Acupoints, which was truly a tremendous achievement.

Xiao Chuanqi glanced at the others, then took a deep breath and said, "My Lord, since we have all recovered, please let us form our own team and leave to gain experience."

Xiao Chuanqi and the others exchanged glances. While waiting outside, they had reached a consensus. Once Ye Feng came out, they really needed to venture into the Outer Battlefield by themselves to experience the trials of the world. Facing the Undead Centipede and that profound sense of helplessness, they could only watch Ye Feng dragging the Undead Centipede away. They were extremely uncomfortable with that feeling.

Ye Feng glanced at the six of them, knowing they had made up their minds, and sighed slightly, "Off you go then, be careful on the way. If you encounter any danger or get hurt, leave the Outer Battlefield immediately, or go to Xuanyuan Hall and find the Seventh Hall Master. The Seventh Hall Master is a senior of our Utility Pavilion, and with his protection, there shouldn't be any problems."

"As for the First Hall Master..."

Ye Feng, when mentioning the First Hall Master, didn't continue on. He always felt that the First Hall Master was somewhat odd but couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was odd. Without dwelling on it further, he shifted the topic.

"Be extra cautious in the Outer Battlefield with Fusang Yin-Yang Hall and the Western Vampire Divine Court, as well as the Snow Wolf Country's Wizard Alliance. If you encounter them, show no mercy—kill if you must. You all understand the matter concerning the Blood Witch Stone, right?"

Ye Feng directly inquired.

Xiao Chuanqi and the others all nodded. They had already learned about the Blood Witch Stone when they entered the Outer Battlefield. With that confirmation, Ye Feng nodded and explained a few other matters succinctly.

"Since you've chosen to leave me to undergo training, I am relieved. However, I have just one request: come back alive!"

A sharp glint flashed through Ye Feng's eyes as he spoke with a cold voice.

Whether it was Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, or Shadow Leng Wuming like Gai Jiuyou, they had always been by his side. And Cao Tian was even a direct descendant of Boss Cao, Cao Yi. He didn't want anything bad to happen to any of them, so he felt the necessity to give this special reminder.

"Especially if you encounter the emergence of some Secret Treasure or discover a mysterious realm, weigh your own strength carefully before deciding whether to enter. Treasures are important, but you also have to consider whether you have the life to claim them,"

Ye Feng snorted coldly, his attitude very serious.

With somber expressions, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and the others understood that the Outer Battlefield was fraught with danger and that Ye Feng's words were entirely for their consideration.

"Understood, my lord!"

The six of them said in unison, their faces grave.

Seeing everyone's demeanor, Ye Feng's expression softened a bit. He looked out at the boundless wasteland and said, "Go ahead then."

Xiao Chuanqi and the others stood up and bowed to Ye Feng once again.

"My lord, take care!"

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian declared in unison, then chose a direction and set off first.

Gai Jiuyou and Cao Tian also bade farewell and headed off in a completely different direction from Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian.

Finally, only Shadow and Leng Wuming were left. They hadn't left yet; in fact, Leng Wuming was waiting for Shadow, because he saw that she hadn't made any move and guessed what she might be thinking, so he walked to the side to wait.

Ye Feng looked at Shadow, who had not yet departed, with a touch of surprise, and was about to ask, "Shadow..."

Before he could finish, Shadow's delicate figure suddenly threw herself into his arms, a hug so unexpected it left him stunned.

"My lord, take care. I will come back alive!"

Shadow's face turned a touch red as she spoke softly, her expression complex. However, she quickly left Ye Feng's embrace and, without looking back, flew off in another direction.

What she actually feared was that this departure might mean she would never get to see Ye Feng alive again...

Leng Wuming was slightly moved to see Shadow showing such a feminine side, which he found somewhat odd. But as he watched her leave directly, he couldn't help but sigh, "I mean, you could at least wait for me..."

"My lord, take care. I'm off as well."

Leng Wuming could only bow and bid farewell to Ye Feng. As he was about to catch up with Shadow, Ye Feng's voice suddenly reached him.

"Take good care of Shadow, don't let her be too impulsive!"

Ye Feng's solemn voice carried across, and while he wasn't oblivious to Shadow's feelings, he couldn't let down Hong Qingyan either.

"Understood!"

Leng Wuming replied respectfully, though he didn't stop, instead hurrying to catch up to Shadow. With her swift speed, if he delayed any further, he might not be able to catch up.

Outside the Skeleton Forest, it was only Ye Feng who remained in the end. Looking in the direction of everyone's departure, he suddenly smiled, "Alone at last, eh? Good, it's time for me to also focus on improving my strength. Hopefully these guys will all be safe. Perhaps the next time we meet, they'll all be Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm."

A smile crept onto Ye Feng's lips as he dismissed all worries from his mind. Right now, improving his own strength was the most pressing matter. If it weren't for some good fortune this time, he might have met his demise in the Skeleton Forest. After all, he was still too weak.

If Xiao Chuanqi and the others knew what Ye Feng was thinking, they might have been so exasperated that they'd go into seclusion. If his strength was considered weak, what would theirs be considered?

Ye Feng didn't dwell on it and chose a direction, ready to embark on a lone trial in the Outer Battlefield. Not long after he stepped into the wasteland, he encountered some trouble.
