Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 43: Ambushed in the Forest

Chu Linfeng felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. She had seen him completely, yet she still called him a hooligan. It was truly unreasonable.

"Beauty Sima, by tomorrow morning you must find a man’s outfit for me. Surely you won’t keep me here forever, not letting me out!"

"Go out? You’ve violated the rules of my City Lord’s Mansion. This is your punishment, so don’t be ungrateful!" Sima Jingyi’s tone abruptly changed, possibly due to Chu Linfeng’s mention of leaving.

"Then how long do you plan to keep me here?"

"Until I’m satisfied!" She said and then walked out directly.

By now, dawn was breaking. Today was the last day of the clan competition, and Chu Linfeng wanted to go out to see it, because Lin Ruoxi was there.

"I must leave here. Liu Lang’s death will surely bring trouble to the family, but with guards outside, how can I get out?

Killing the guards is impossible, as that would be causing trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion, possibly costing me my life. What a dire situation." Thought Chu Linfeng uneasily after Sima Jingyi left.

The last round of the competition lost its excitement without Chu Linfeng’s participation, and Lin Ruoxi originally intended to give up, but it wasn’t going her way.

Her opponent was a disciple at the Sixth Level of Black Tortoise Realm. Facing Lin Ruoxi’s strength, he chose to concede directly. He thought it was a wise choice, but in Lin Ruoxi’s eyes, it was utterly foolish.

If he had attacked me casually, I would have chosen to give up myself, but unfortunately, he brought it up first.

The final result was Shangguan Wuqing winning first place, Gongsun Hong second, and Lin Ruoxi third. All were qualified to enter Celestial Dragon Academy.

Next was the distribution of prizes, which were more lavish than any other clan competition.

The first prize included not only a thousand Spirit Stones but also a Profound Tier Lower Grade martial skill, along with three Third-Grade Elixirs.

Elixirs are only divided into grades from three to nine. The best elixirs are Ninth-Grade Elixirs, although they seem to have never appeared, and Seventh and Eighth Grade Elixirs are legendary.

Lin Ruoxi received three hundred Spirit Stones and one Third-Grade Elixir, along with a Spirit Tier Middle Grade weapon. She didn’t care about these things; she was most concerned about Chu Linfeng’s safety.

The punishment from the City Lord’s Mansion was very serious, and the only hope was that he was not in mortal danger.

In private, Chu Yuanba asked Sima Jingyi about Chu Linfeng’s situation, but did not receive a definitive answer. From Sima Jingyi’s tone, it could be judged that Chu Linfeng was not in mortal danger for the time being.

He returned with the members of the Chu Family, carrying a heavy heart, knowing that the Chu Family would soon face a storm.

For two consecutive days, Sima Jingyi did not come to see Chu Linfeng but did have someone send clothes and even left a maid to serve him.

On the third day, Sima Jingyi finally came, her black outfit highlighting her figure vividly, especially her prominent curves drawing attention.

Chu Linfeng watched her quietly, as if appreciating a piece of art, with no trace of wicked intentions in his eyes.

"Have you seen enough? You can leave now, but you must follow me back to Celestial Dragon Academy in ten days."

Chu Linfeng looked at Sima Jingyi in disbelief, "I can really leave? You’re not playing with me, right?"

"If you don’t go, someone else will really leave. Remember what you promised me, otherwise, you’ll bear the consequences." Without waiting for Chu Linfeng to leave, she left first.

"Who’s waiting for me, could it be Ruoxi?" Chu Linfeng had a feeling in his heart and hurriedly ran outside.

In the distance, he saw a woman in a pink dress, wearing a veil, standing at the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Ruoxi!" Chu Linfeng shouted excitedly, quickening his pace.

"Lin Feng!" Lin Ruoxi called out joyfully.

Chu Linfeng grabbed Lin Ruoxi’s hand and asked, "Why didn’t you go back?"

"I was worried about you!"

Although it was only a few words, it explained Lin Ruoxi’s feelings for him. What more could a husband want than a wife like her?

He embraced Lin Ruoxi, "Let’s go, after last time’s parting, I have a lot to say to you."

Going for a walk with Chu Linfeng was something that made Lin Ruoxi very happy, "Sure, I want to go out too, where do you want to go?"

"How about the back mountain? There’s not much people, so it’s quiet, and we won’t be disturbed!" Chu Linfeng said casually.

But to Lin Ruoxi, these words sounded a bit off. Quiet and undisturbed, was he planning something?

Thinking about their night at the back mountain, her pale face blushed instantly, her heart pounding, she stammered, "Okay... let’s... let’s go to the back mountain!"

The back mountain held many stories and memories for Chu Linfeng, and the two of them headed there slowly, talking about interesting things as they went.

Shortly after the two left, the Liu Family got wind of their departure. When Liu Yuankai heard the scout’s report, he was overjoyed, "Today is truly a great day. It’s time to deal with the Chu Family."

He immediately told a trusted aide, "Go pick a few skilled disciples to the back mountain and deal with that boy. Remember not to leave any traces."

"Yes, Patriarch! I will get it done right away and ensure it’s clean and tidy. Please rest assured!" The subordinate left quickly.

Liu Yuankai’s face twisted into a hideous grin, "Chu Linfeng, if you don’t die this time, I won’t believe you can withstand an attack from five Eighth Layer Black Tortoise Realm experts."

He then told the scout, "Go inform Chu Yuantian, today is the day he will prepare to become the Patriarch of the Liu Family, let him prepare well!

Also inform the Gongsun Family that we are ready, tell them to hurry up too."

The scout nodded and vanished in a flash, his speed not much slower than Chu Linfeng’s Wave-Riding Light Steps.

In the back mountain of Liuyun City, Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi were walking slowly, enjoying the mountain flowers and lush greenery, which put them at ease and elated.

"Lin Feng, thank you. You’re the one who gave me my current power, the one who taught me the meaning of survival. Do you know, my heart almost broke when the people from the City Lord’s Mansion took you away."

"Ruoxi, don’t say that, you’re my woman. Doing things for you is the least I can do. With your strength, you should have gotten first place. Is getting third place because of me?"

"If you can’t go to Celestial Dragon Academy, what’s the point of me going? Unfortunately, that disciple surrendered faster than I was able to!"

"Haha, you’ve been through a lot!"

"And you still laugh!"

Chu Linfeng couldn’t help but embrace Lin Ruoxi again.

At this moment, Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice suddenly appeared in his mind, "Lin Feng, don’t just focus on your romance, your trouble has arrived, and these guys are quite strong! Enough to give you a hard time!"

Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice immediately reined back Chu Linfeng to reality, "Ruoxi, we’ve got trouble. In a moment, hide behind the rock and don’t come out. I’ll handle it, remember what I said!"

When Chu Linfeng suddenly said this, Lin Ruoxi was very confused, "I can help you, with my strength I shouldn’t be a burden to you."

"These fights and killings, how can I let my beautiful wife do that? You better obediently find a place to hide!" Chu Linfeng immediately displayed his machismo.

Lin Ruoxi gave him a look, but in her heart, she was very moved.

Seeing a big rock not far away, she hid behind it, "As long as Lin Feng is in danger, I’ll come out to help him. Then he won’t blame me." She thought to herself.

Once Lin Ruoxi was safely hidden, Chu Linfeng took the Cyan Frost Sword from his Storage Belt, held it in his hand, and called out to a nearby area:

"Come out, stop hiding! You’ve been here so long and won’t come out to say hello?"

"Hahaha! I didn’t expect the former waste to become a genius, but too bad, no matter how genius you are, today you cannot escape death!"

Just as Chu Linfeng finished his words, five masked black-clothed figures walked out of the woods.

"Who are you? As far as I know, I haven’t offended you. Who sent you?"

Chu Linfeng wasn’t particularly worried about the five of them, in his eyes, they were as good as dead, and the dead posed no threat to him.

"Enough with the nonsense, next year this day will be your death anniversary. Get him! We have other tasks!" The leader of the black-clothed men said.

"No rush, no rush, if even I am not in a hurry to die, why are you? Let me guess who sent you?"

Chu Linfeng pretended to be in deep thought and said, "Oh, I know, you must have been sent by the Liu Family.

But how unfortunate, sending a few incompetent fools to kill me, am I lucky, or are you unlucky? Just you guys? Maybe in the next life!"

"Brat, you’re courting death!" One of the black-clothed men couldn’t bear Chu Linfeng’s words and charged directly, his large blade gleaming with a chilling light.

Fast speed, strong attack power, this was Chu Linfeng’s first impression, and it seemed like they should have strength above the Seventh Layer of Black Tortoise Realm. They really thought highly of him.
