Three days later, Feng Chen groggily woke up. He first checked his clothes and found that he was dressed properly. Then, he looked around and realized he was in his own room.
"Did I have a dream? That must be it. How could Shen Yue do 'that' with me? But this dream was too real. The sensation felt just like the real thing."
"But why would I dream about Shen Yue? Could it be that I've been thinking about her too much? Am I falling for her?"
Feng Chen was puzzled. Although he occasionally had fantasies about her after spending these years together—after all, Shen Yue was a rare beauty, and everyone appreciates beauty, so it's normal for him to fantasize—it was his first time having such a vivid dream.
"Crap, how long has it been? I haven't helped clean the tavern for so long. The boss won't fire me, will he?"
Feng Chen suddenly remembered that he was the only officially hired employee at the Eternal Life Tavern. Shen Yue was just a temporary worker. If he didn't work for so long, it would be strange if the boss wasn't angry.
Thinking of this, he tried to do a carp jump off the bed as usual, but…
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed as Feng Chen crashed through the roof!
Feng Chen, who had broken through the roof, stood in mid-air, his eyes filled with confusion.
"My cultivation… when did it break through to the peak of the Nirvana Realm?"
Feng Chen clenched his fist, feeling an incredibly powerful force within his body. This force filled his entire being, making him feel like he could beat a thousand of his former selves.
"Damn, was I really that weak before?"
Although Feng Chen knew that his talent was mediocre, he never expected himself to be this weak.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Feng Chen's head sank, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.
"Dragon God Battle Body!"
Feng Chen's eyes lit up. This was the physique he obtained after fusing with dragon blood. It allowed him to freely switch between dragon and human forms. At its peak, he could even transform into a true dragon, but now he could only achieve partial dragonization.
"Partial dragonization, let's give it a try."
Feng Chen stretched out his right hand, and his right hand transformed into a dragon claw covered in scales. Then, he raised his left hand, and his left hand also turned into a dragon claw.
Feng Chen waved his pair of dragon claws in the air, throwing a few punches, and found that there was no discomfort. This made him extremely satisfied. Moreover, he discovered that after dragonizing, his strength and defense had greatly increased, which made him even more satisfied.
After playing around for a while, Feng Chen turned back into human form. He stood in mid-air, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"I wonder if I can dragonize 'down there' too."
A lewd smile appeared on Feng Chen's face. The next moment, he activated dragonization. Then, he sneakily looked around to make sure no one was there before pulling up his waistband and looking down.
"Damn, it can even change this?"
Feng Chen was as shocked as if he had discovered a new continent.
Little did he know that this scene was completely seen by two people.
"Boss, the person you went to the trouble of finding me in the vast chaos to bleed for, and even wanted me to take as a disciple, is this kind of thing?"
Zu Long pointed at Feng Chen, his tone full of surprise.
He and Hun Kun were originally in the chaos searching for the Chaos Gods and Demons behind the World Plunderer organization. Before they could find anyone, Gu Changsheng found him and asked him to bleed without saying a word. Zu Long said he was already used to it. Anyway, he had eaten a lot of meat, so bleeding a little was nothing.
But Gu Changsheng even wanted him to take a disciple, which made him entangled. He had been a loner for countless years and had never thought about taking a disciple. If someone else made such a request, he would ignore them at best, or even send them flying with a claw if they were serious.
But the one who made this request was Gu Changsheng, so… he agreed.
Gu Changsheng also looked at Feng Chen's lewd actions speechlessly. He couldn't help but wonder if Long Wu would have done something as lewd as Feng Chen after accidentally absorbing dragon blood back then. After all, Feng Chen was Long Wu's reincarnation, and the two had similar personalities.
Fortunately, Feng Chen wasn't a pervert. He was just curious if it would change, and he changed back after getting the result.
"Boss, it's not impossible for me to take him as a disciple, but he has to pass my test. If you don't agree, I'd rather be beaten up by you than take him as a disciple."
Zu Long's tone was very firm.
"As you wish."
Gu Changsheng nodded. He knew what Zu Long was thinking. Even though the dragon blood that Feng Chen replaced was Zu Long's blood, his talent was nothing special in Zu Long's eyes. There were countless dragons in the myriad realms with higher talent and strength than Feng Chen, and he had never thought of taking them as disciples. Giving Feng Chen a test was already for Gu Changsheng's sake. After all, imparting knowledge and teaching skills was a major matter and could not be neglected.
"Then, Boss, I'll leave first. I'll give him a test when he cultivates to the Supreme Realm. The Great Bird and I have already located those old guys. The Great Bird has already gone alone. That guy wants to get the first kill, no way!"
After speaking, Zu Long's figure disappeared.
Gu Changsheng smiled faintly, feeling very satisfied that Zu Long and Hun Kun took the things he entrusted to them so seriously. He didn't waste the two strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi he specially left for them.
…
Feng Chen came to the tavern lobby, and as he expected, there were still no customers.
But it didn't matter. It was good that there were no customers. Anyway, the boss wasn't trying to make money. The main thing was that no customers meant that the cleaning task was much lighter, which was a good thing.
"Huh, where's Shen Yue?"
Feng Chen felt that the commotion he had made earlier was so big that Shen Yue couldn't possibly not know. If she was in the backyard, she would definitely come out. Not coming out meant that she was currently cleaning the lobby, but now there was only him in the lobby, and Shen Yue's shadow couldn't be seen.
"The sun is already high in the sky, and she still hasn't come to clean. Isn't she afraid of the boss's blame?"
Feng Chen looked at the position of the sun outside. At this time, Shen Yue would usually already be cleaning the booths. It was strange that he didn't see her today.
Moreover, the tavern door wasn't open either.
"Strange!"
Feng Chen shook his head and went to open the door.
"Huh!"
But when Feng Chen saw the street, he let out a surprised sound. Usually, the street was filled with the eyes of the major forces in Flame City. These eyes were there to keep tabs on Shen Yue. Feng Chen expressed his admiration for their perseverance.
"Strange, have these people given up?"
Feng Chen was full of doubts. First, he couldn't see Shen Yue's figure, and then even the eyes that were keeping tabs on her had all disappeared. What happened while he was absorbing the dragon blood?
Just then, the voices of two cultivators discussing not far away attracted Feng Chen.
"Have you heard? The woman hiding in the Eternal Life Tavern somehow broke through to the Transcendent Realm. Not only did the major forces fail to encircle and suppress her, but they were also killed and fled in disarray by that woman."
"Heard? I was at the scene the day before yesterday. You don't know, that woman is really fierce! The outside of the city is already a river of blood, and the blood hasn't even dried yet!"
"Fortunately, that woman left Flame City, otherwise, who knows what trouble Flame City would have been in."
"Who says otherwise!"
…
Feng Chen was shocked and quickly flew out of the city.
When he came outside the city, he indeed saw the river of blood that the two people had mentioned earlier.
"She's gone?"
Feng Chen stood there in a daze.
