Chapter 835: Chapter 835: Nightmare

"Ting Yu!" Ling Feng saw Liu Tingyu standing at the doorway, her belly round and full. His face lit up with a joyful smile. "Ting Yu, why didn’t you tell me you’re pregnant? Is it a boy or a girl? I prefer girls, because if it’s a girl, she’ll surely be as beautiful as her mother..."

But Liu Tingyu took a step back, disgust written all over her face as she said, "Get away from me, you monster. My child has nothing to do with you, and I never want to see you again!"

Ling Feng froze as if struck by lightning. He stared at Liu Tingyu, murmuring, "Ting Yu, I’m Ling Feng. How could you..."

"Ling Feng? You’re nothing more than a monster wearing human skin!" Liu Tingyu’s eyes burned with contempt and loathing. "I must have been blind back then to have fallen for someone like you. Get away now! If my husband sees you, it’ll cause a misunderstanding."

Ling Feng felt as though his heart was being pierced by a thousand swords. He stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar face. "Ting Yu, what are you saying?"

"Didn’t you hear my sister Ting Yu clearly?" Yun Hanrui stepped forward, her voice icy. "Ling Feng, you’re not human. You’re a monster. Leave us alone from now on."

"That’s right! Out of consideration for the past, we won’t hold you accountable for harassing us," Bai Feifei added, stepping forward. "But our husbands are possessive. We’d rather avoid unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Looking at the familiar women before him, Ling Feng lowered his gaze and noticed his own hands. His once human hands had transformed into hairy claws. He touched his face, now distorted and grotesque, with Demon’s Horns rising from his head, a proclamation to the world of his true identity.

"No!" Ling Feng clutched his own hair in anguish. His blood-red fur looked as though it had been soaked in blood.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?" Ling Feng gasped for air, his heart filled with despair and agony, seething with fury and sorrow.

At that moment, a man emerged from the villa, his voice brimming with disdain. "I wondered who it could be. Turns out it’s the infamous Blood-Handed Asura. Don’t you know you’re globally wanted for opening the Gate of the Abyss? Yet you still dare to show your face here?"

"Honey!" Liu Tingyu called to the man, snuggling into his arms with a shy demeanor. "The baby in my belly is acting up again. Let’s go back inside!"

Ling Feng raised his head but found that he couldn’t discern the man’s features. A thick, eerie fog seemed to shroud his face, exuding an unsettling wickedness.

"You stole my woman. I’m going to kill you!" Ling Feng’s eyes turned completely red, his rage erupting as black markings spread across his body instantly.

"Die!" Ling Feng roared, flashing to the man’s side as his giant claw-like hand slammed down toward the man’s head.

Rage, pain, jealousy, and despair—these negative emotions threatened to destroy Ling Feng’s sanity.

"Honey, dodge!" At that moment, Liu Tingyu pushed the man aside, placing herself directly under Ling Feng’s descending hand!

"No!" Ling Feng’s attack was too ferocious, and he couldn’t withdraw it in time. His palm crushed Liu Tingyu into nothing but a bloody pulp!

"Nooooo!" Ling Feng screamed, suddenly springing upright from the ground. His body was drenched in cold sweat, his clothes soaked through.

"Ling Feng, are you alright?" Bai Feifei’s worried voice reached Ling Feng’s ears. "Are you feeling okay now?"

The familiar scene caught Ling Feng’s gaze—a ravaged plaza, weathered sculptures of giant beasts. It all felt both strange and familiar.

Ling Feng trembled as he stretched out his hand. When he saw his unchanged, normal hands, his face showed a hint of relief.

"Thankfully, it was all just a dream!" Ling Feng sighed, his heart still pounding in fear at the thought.

But a trace of unease crept into Ling Feng’s mind. Was it really just a dream? He could still clearly sense the Power of the Abyss coursing within him. Though it was calm now, should it ever be triggered, the consequences might mirror the nightmare he had witnessed.

Ling Feng had faith in the feelings the women had for him, but that faith rested on the belief that he was human. Once they discovered he was no longer human—transformed into an Abyssal Creature, a monster in the eyes of the world—would they still love him as they did now?

Suddenly, a surge of intense fear swelled in Ling Feng’s mind. He was terrified of this eventuality, yet he also knew it was inevitable.

"Ling Feng, what’s wrong?" Seeing Ling Feng sitting dazedly on the ground, Bai Feifei’s face revealed a mix of tenderness and worry. Though she didn’t know what had happened while she’d been unconscious, the ravaged plaza and the twelve weathered giant beast corpses told her enough—it must have been an arduous battle for Ling Feng.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have collapsed beside her with such a pale face!

Ling Feng shuddered violently. When he looked at Bai Feifei as she approached, a flicker of fear flashed across his eyes. He desperately wanted to confess everything to Bai Feifei, but he was afraid the events of his nightmare might come to fruition.

"Ling Feng!" Bai Feifei rushed forward, throwing her arms around Ling Feng tightly. The momentary flash of fear in Ling Feng’s eyes had broken Bai Feifei’s heart. What sort of battle had he endured to make her War God display such an expression?

"Ling Feng, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!" Bai Feifei hugged Ling Feng tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. "It’s all my fault. I was too selfish. It’s because of me insisting on staying here. I’m sorry, my stubbornness caused you such harm."

When Bai Feifei awoke to find Ling Feng barely clinging to life, deep regret and terror flooded her heart. If she had known it would come to this, she would never have insisted on staying; she would have listened to Ling Feng and left with him!

From that moment on, Bai Feifei felt that nothing in the world mattered more than Ling Feng.

Soon, Bai Feifei’s tears soaked Ling Feng’s shoulder. His conflicted gaze softened as he gently caressed Bai Feifei’s silky hair. "It’s alright. It’s all in the past. I’m fine now. You don’t have to worry."

Bai Feifei wiped her tears, looking at Ling Feng’s comforting expression. Unable to hold back, she leaned in and pressed her lips passionately against his.

Ling Feng froze momentarily, but soon passionately responded in return. Though a shadow of concern lingered in his heart, he transformed it into fervent emotion, releasing it fully.
