"That's… the Seven Colored Soul Crane? If I'm not mistaken, that should be the mount of that Miss Feng from Wind Lightning Pavilion, right?"

When the massive, seven-colored crane appeared, surprised voices rose one after another around Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian.

Hearing the exclamations nearby, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "Feng Qing'er, huh…"

Immediately, his mind drifted to that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix corpse within Yun Lan Sect's Gate of Life and Death.

The body and magic core of that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix were, of course, astonishingly valuable.

But the most precious thing about it was the bloodline inheritance carried within that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

If a member of the Heaven Demon Phoenix clan were able to obtain the bloodline inheritance of that high-level Dou Sheng…their future achievements would certainly be no lower than Dou Sheng.

While he stood lost in thought, the enormous crane in the sky gradually descended, finally stopping about a hundred meters above the ground.

The gale stirred up by its landing quickly pulled Lin Feng back to his senses.

His gaze shifted to the graceful figure standing atop the seven-colored crane's back.

At this distance, with his eyesight, he could already see everything there quite clearly.

The first thing that entered his view was the breathtaking figure at the crane's head, her colorful dress billowing in the wind.

She wore a seven-colored robe that, even from afar, exuded an undeniable air of nobility.

Her exquisitely beautiful face was slightly delicate, a perfect oval framed by long, smooth hair. Paired with those violet-brown gemlike eyes…Feng Qing'er looked just like a princess from some great empire — beautiful, sacred, and pure.

The only flaw was that, within her holy bearing, there was also a considerable coldness that kept people at arm's length.

That icy aloofness gave her a feeling of being impossible to approach.

"This Feng Qing'er… as expected of a Heaven Demon Phoenix. Her looks and presence really are impeccable. It's just that temper of hers… so stubborn, unwilling to compromise," Lin Feng muttered under his breath, rubbing his chin as he watched the stunning woman.

At the same time, his mind began recalling details from the original story.

In his memory, Feng Qing'er was one of the rare female cultivators in the original who truly persisted to the very end in her determination to kill Xiao Yan.

Other women might have shouted about tearing Xiao Yan to pieces at first, but in the end… they all fell for him anyway.

Only Feng Qing'er stayed true to herself, never swaying.

"Perhaps… she might be a good choice," Lin Feng thought to himself, recalling that Ancient Heavenly Phoenix corpse in Yun Lan Sect.

In the original, after the Heaven Demon Phoenix clan acquired the remains of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix from Saint Zhao Hua's ruins…they had Feng Qing'er and nine other clansmen take on great risk to transplant parts of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's bones infused with its bloodline.

From this, one could see that Feng Qing'er's status in the Heaven Demon Phoenix clan was neither high nor low — somewhere in the middle.

Lin Feng felt that uniting with her might be a good decision.

After all, Feng Qing'er was currently the only Heaven Demon Phoenix he had a realistic chance of approaching.

"Lin Feng, do you think Feng Qing'er is beautiful?"

Just as he was deep in thought, a soft, feminine voice suddenly sounded right at his ear.

"She's beautiful—"

He stopped mid-sentence, realizing who the voice belonged to. He quickly changed his tune and said: "—but compared to my Xian'er, she's far, far behind."

As he spoke, Lin Feng turned his body and wrapped his arm around the slender, willowy waist of the charming woman beside him.

"Hmph, you big flirt. Don't think I don't know what you were just thinking. Speak up — what's that little scheme you're cooking up now?"

Xiao Yixian braced her delicate arms against his chest and shot him a glare, speaking with some annoyance.

Having shared a bed with him for so long, how could she possibly not guess what he was thinking?

The way he'd been staring so intently at that Miss Feng earlier… there was no question some devious idea was already forming in his heart.

Seeing this, Lin Feng knew he couldn't just brush it off anymore.

He could only lower himself, lean close to her ear, and whisper in a barely audible voice: "That magic beast corpse in Yun Lan Sect's Gate of Life and Death… the bloodline inheritance inside — none of us here are capable of inheriting it."

"You're saying… you want that Feng girl to inherit it? You think she can?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian instantly understood what he meant and asked in a low voice.

Lin Feng had already told her about the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix corpse in Yun Lan Sect.

So she wasn't surprised by that part.

But Lin Feng's belief that Feng Qing'er could inherit the magic beast's bloodline did catch her completely off guard.

"As far as I know… the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan carries the surname Feng. And with Wind Lightning Pavilion acting as the Heaven Demon Phoenix clan's representative on the continent, that makes this Miss Feng's identity self-evident."

Lin Feng softly explained further in response to her doubt.

His explanation stunned Xiao Yixian briefly.

But after thinking it through carefully, she too felt that his reasoning made a lot of sense.

Still… seeing a female magic beast made her feel a faint displeasure deep down.

"So this Miss Feng… turns out she's the same as that old snake-woman from the Snake-People Clan — just another magic beast."

Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes swept over Feng Qing'er's delicate figure as she let out a faint, cold snort.

Then she thought again and realized Lin Feng wasn't the kind of man to just hand such a precious item over to an outsider for nothing.

In an instant, she understood his true intent.

Gazing at Lin Feng's face, so close to hers, she said coldly: "You bastard… you're planning to make this Feng girl completely yours first, then take her to receive the bloodline inheritance, aren't you?"

"Uh…"

Seeing her expression, Lin Feng's face showed a hint of awkwardness.

After all, the matter of how to "make a stranger completely his"… was something he'd already practiced with both Cai Lin and Xiao Yixian herself.

Scratching his head, Lin Feng then muttered in a low voice to defend himself: "There's no helping it… I can't just hand such a valuable thing over to someone else for free, can I?"

"Hmph! I knew you were up to no good! This is the first time you've even seen her, and you're already scheming!"

Hearing him admit exactly what she suspected, Xiao Yixian's charming face turned cold as she spoke with a frosty tone.

While the two of them were whispering and bickering, the people nearby looked increasingly uncomfortable.

For some reason, these two had suddenly started murmuring to each other in the middle of the street, cheek-to-cheek, as if nobody else existed.

The sight left everyone around with a strange sense of fullness, as though they'd just eaten too much.

"Ahem…"

After a short silence, one man nearby suddenly coughed, breaking the awkwardness of the scene.

The sound of that cough immediately snapped Xiao Yixian back to her senses.

She glanced instinctively at her surroundings and finally realized…they were standing in the middle of a busy street!

Thinking about what she and Lin Feng had just been doing, her exquisitely beautiful face instantly flushed bright red.

Even her long, slender neck turned rosy.

At once, she pushed Lin Feng away with both hands, her charming face still crimson, and strode ahead without a word.

At this moment, she couldn't care less about Feng Qing'er anymore.

Seeing the beauty walk out of his embrace, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and hurried after her.

As for the matter of Feng Qing'er, he wasn't in any rush.

After all, Feng Qing'er had clearly come to Bone Transforming City for the same reason he had the trade convention.

Since that was the case, he would meet her at the convention anyway.

There was no need to rush things now.
