Chapter 1392 - 28: Rivalry and Jealousy

"I wouldn’t say I’m formidable, but when traveling, it’s good to have a bit of self-defense,"

Lin Feng cupped his hands, then said, "I just made the two ladies angry, and I apologize to the both of you. These two little things are not very valuable, please accept them."

With that, Lin Feng casually took out two items from his storage ring.

The two items were a bracelet and a hairpin.

The two ladies didn’t pay much attention and thought they were ordinary trinkets, so they accepted them.

The fox spirit said, "You do have some heart. Seeing how sincerely you apologized, we’ll forgive you this time."

"Is this a Tao Artifact?" Suddenly, the female angel exclaimed.

She was holding the hairpin, her face full of disbelief.

At this time, to verify her judgment, the female angel channeled her mana into the hairpin.

Buzz!

Immediately, the hairpin emitted an astonishing wave.

The wave resonated with the void.

The Taoist aura spread out.

Amidst heaven and earth, sounds of Taoist resonance rang out.

"Oh my god, it’s really a Tao Artifact, then what about mine?" The fox spirit was shocked, and quickly looked at the bracelet in her hand.

She similarly infused the bracelet with a stream of mana.

Buzz!

The bracelet was also activated, releasing the sound of Taoist resonance.

The two women were filled with expressions of disbelief.

Then, they showed expressions of extreme joy.

They had actually received two powerful Tao Artifacts.

Even now, they couldn’t believe it was real.

...

Seeing the two women’s expressions, Lin Feng wasn’t surprised.

In this world of extreme scarcity,

even the price of the most common iron weapons was exceedingly high, let alone magical treasures?

Originally, Mo Xiaoyu only had a lowest-grade artifact level magical treasure.

Artifact level, Spiritual Artifact level, Treasure level, Tao Artifact level.

...

Mo Xiaoyu was the Grand Senior Brother of the Inner Sect of the Black Stone Sect, one of the Five Great Sects in Black Stone City, and he only used a lowest-priced artifact level magical treasure, showing just how precious magical treasures were in this world.

As for Tao Artifact level, it was even rarer.

From their reactions, Lin Feng knew he hadn’t been wrong.

"You’re really giving these to us?" Both women seemed to still be in disbelief that Lin Feng had given them two Tao Artifact level magical treasures just like that, their eyes widened as they looked at Lin Feng and asked.

But observing how tightly they were clutching the treasures, it was clear that even if Lin Feng asked for them back, the two would absolutely not return them to him.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Of course they’re for you. These two Tao Artifacts, one called the Primordial Bracelet and one called the Purple Phoenix Hairpin, are attack and defense treasures; as the saying goes, the hairpin and bracelet suit the beauty. I hope these small tokens are not looked down upon by you two beautiful ladies."

"Of course, we won’t look down on them." The two women couldn’t wait to put on the treasures.

"Thank you, Young Master! We were impulsive earlier, we hope Young Master won’t hold it against us."

After accepting Lin Feng’s treasures, their attitude changed dramatically, and the way they looked at Lin Feng was full of admiration.

Their status in Black Stone City was quite extraordinary, and they had encountered many sons from powerful forces.

But they had never met someone as wealthy as Lin Feng.

Even the City Lord of Black Stone City couldn’t casually give away a Tao Artifact.

Besides being wealthy, Lin Feng’s cultivation was also a huge impact on the two women.

In their eyes, Lin Feng was suddenly shrouded in an aura of mystery.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "How could I bear to blame two such beautiful ladies?"

The two women’s faces flushed slightly, their appearance truly quite alluring.

Lin Feng asked, "I’m Lin Feng, may I ask for the names of these two beautiful ladies?"

The fox spirit said, "My surname is Yun, and my name is Dieyi. Young Master can call me Dieyi from now on."

The female angel said, "My surname is Shen, and my name is Yingxin. Young Master can call me Yingxin from now on."

Lin Feng cupped his hands and said, "So it’s Miss Dieyi and Miss Yingxin. May I ask why you two are fighting?"

Yun Dieyi said, "Well, an open position for the commander of the Black Feather Guard in Black Stone City came up, and we’re both Deputy Commanders. We both want to be the commander, but the higher-ups are indecisive, so we decided to compete. Whoever wins will become the commander of the Black Feather Guard!"

Lin Feng had vaguely heard about the Black Feather Guard in the conversations of Mo Xiaoyu and others.

The Black Feather Guard is the Imperial Guard of Black Stone City and the most powerful army in Black Stone City, with incredible strength.

Even sects within Black Stone City dare not offend the Black Feather Guard.

Being a commander, one could generally lead fifty thousand troops, with great power.

For these two young ladies to be able to compete for the commander’s position at such a young age clearly indicates that the forces behind them must be extremely strong. Otherwise, holding the position of commander of the Black Feather Guard at their age would be too difficult.

Lin Feng said, "So it’s a struggle for a commander’s position, but I think there are many ways to fight for it without resorting to combat."

The two ladies blushed and said, "We’ve embarrassed ourselves in front of Young Master."

After a brief pause, the two ladies simultaneously asked, "Young Master looks unfamiliar—is this your first time visiting our Black Stone City?"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it’s my first time in Black Stone City, and I’m not very familiar with the place. I don’t know if either lady could guide me?"

"I am willing!"

"I am willing!"

Yun Dieyi and Shen Yingxin said simultaneously.

Yun Dieyi snorted softly and said, "Shen Yingxin, I’ll let you have the commander’s position. You can go and assume your duties now, I’ll stay with Young Master and help him get to know Black Stone City."

Shen Yingxin couldn’t help but chuckle, "I’ve been quite exhausted lately, and I wish to rest. I’m not that interested in the commander’s position. Didn’t you always want to be the commander? I think you should take the position. As for accompanying Young Master, that should be me."

"Shen Yingxin, have you no shame? Did Young Master invite you to accompany him?"

"Yun Dieyi, it seems you’re the shameless one. Young Master didn’t ask you either."

The two women immediately began to quarrel.

Seeing the two of them arguing again, Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile wryly.
