BTTH: Bearing Children to get Reward, I'll Create the Strongest Family

An hour later

Chenfeng walked out of Ya Fei's room with a relaxed expression.

'Although the technique is a little raw, her skills are still much better than Yanran's.' Chenfeng recalled the beautiful and pleasurable scene just now and made a pertinent evaluation.

After a while, he came to a guest room not far from Ya Fei's room.

'I have been indulging in carnal pleasures too much these past few days and neglected my cultivation in the process. I will take advantage of the time tonight to break through to the 7-Star Dou Master in one go.'

Chenfeng slowly sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a monster core from his storage ring, and held it with both hands while operating the Heaven-Swallowing Technique.

After digesting the power of the medical supplements in his body, Chenfeng already felt that he had reached the edge of his current cultivation 6-Star.

This time, he wanted to break through to the 7-Star Dou Master in one fell swoop.

As the Heaven-Swallowing Technique was running, a devouring power slowly surged out from Chenfeng's palm, completely enveloping the monster core in his hands.

Under the pull of this devouring force, strands of chaotic energy were absorbed into Chenfeng's body and turned into pure Dou Qi.

While Chenfeng was immersed in his practice, a strange black shadow entered the room at some point.

The black shadow completely blended into the darkness silently, like a ghost.

'Is this kid devouring the chaotic energy in the monster core!?'

Looking at Chenfeng who was operating the Heaven-Swallowing Technique at the moment, his eyes flashed with surprise.

Monster cores, in the Dou Qi Continent, are also known as Magic Crystals.

The Monster Core is the energy nuclei within a magic monster and it is filled with extremely violent energy. When facing this kind of violent and chaotic energy, even a powerful Dou King wouldn't risk absorbing a monster core directly, fearing his body might explode.

But even those who are above Dou King realm will not choose to directly absorb the energy in the monster core because the energy in the monster core is too chaotic, absorbing it into the body is very likely to cause Dou Qi disorder, leading to complications in further cultivation.

Naturally, no one is stupid enough to do such a brainless action.

'What kind of technique is this? It can actually swallow the violent energy in the monster core directly without problems?'

Heiying quietly observed at Chenfeng who was practicing on the bed, there was an uproar in his heart.

In the Dou Qi Continent, there are countless various Dou Qi skills and Dou Qi Methods, and naturally there might be some unique technique that can swallow the energy in a monster core to it enhance one's own cultivation.

But this kind of Dou Qi Method is probably at the very least an advanced Earth-level Dou Qi Method, or perhaps even a legendary Heaven-level Dou Qi Method!

'Where did a mere Misty Cloud Sect disciple get an advanced Earth-level Dou Qi Method?'

Ling Ying heart was filled with shock, and he looked at Chenfeng in front of him with greed in his eyes.

Advanced Earth-level Dou Qi Methods are extremely precious even among the Ancient Clans.

Naturally, it is not something he as a mere Dou Emperor realm cultivator, can possess.

In the northwestern region of the continent, the Dou Emperor realm was regarded as a symbol of power and authority. However, within the Ancient Clans, where countless hidden masters resided, such a level of cultivation was barely noteworthy, a mere drop in an ocean of unparalleled might.

'If I can obtain this Dou Qi Method from this boy,' Ling Ying mused, a spark of ambition flickering in his eyes, 'my cultivation level will soar exponentially. Not only that, but my status within the clan will rise dramatically, securing me a position of prominence among my peers.'

The thought sent a thrill of excitement coursing through him, the prospect of such advancement too enticing to resist. His mind raced with plans and strategies, envisioning the heights he could achieve if he were to possess such a coveted treasure.

Then, he looked at Chenfeng, who was immersed in cultivation, and quietly approached him.

Chenfeng was concentration was on running the Heaven-Swallowing Technique when suddenly, he felt something strange in his soul perception that was far beyond ordinary.

"Who!"

The moment he opened his eyes, Chenfeng was startled when he saw a black shadow suddenly appearing in front of him. He was horrified and shouted subconsciously.

Ling Ying ignored his shouting, and before Chenfeng could react, he knocked him out cold with a palm strike to the back of his neck.

'Don't blame me, blame yourself for provoking the young lady. I hope you can still persevere your life later tonight...'

Thinking of the technique that Chenfeng had just practiced, Ling Ying was still very moved, and then he flashed and quickly disappeared from the room with Chenfeng body on his shoulder.

Ta-ta-ta!

Shortly after the black shadow disappeared, a rush of footsteps sounded.

"Brother Chenfeng, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly shout in the middle of the night?" Ya Fei's slightly worried voice sounded outside the guest room, obviously she was awakened by Chenfeng's shout just now.

Squeak!

Seeing no one responded in the room, Ya Fei felt anxious and directly opened the door and walked in.

"Where is he?"

Seeing that there was no trace of Chenfeng in the room, Ya Fei's pretty face suddenly changed color.

"Something happened to Brother Chenfeng!" Thinking of the shout just now, Ya Fei suddenly felt anxious and her face turned completely pale.

"Did someone broke in!? Who was it!?" After a moment, everyone in the Miteer Auction House was alerted and began to search for traces of Chenfeng throughout Wu Tan City.

...

Late at night, a full moon ascended to its zenith, bathing the world below in a silvery glow. The bright moonlight cascaded gently from the heavens, enveloping the Xiao family's back mountain in an ethereal luminescence.

"Ouch... my head hurts!"

At some point, Chenfeng woke up and felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him feel a little dazed.

Suddenly thinking of the black shadow in his mind, Chenfeng woke up completely and looked around vigilantly.

The dim glow of a flickering torch illuminated the confined space around him, revealing a stone wall draped in vines. The air was damp, and the narrow confines only heightened his unease.

"Is this...a cave?" Chenfeng muttered to himself, his voice echoing faintly against the rock walls.

The soft light allowed him to discern more details. As his eyes adjusted, the reality of his situation sank in. His arms and legs were bound tightly by ropes of an unknown material—unbreakable despite his best efforts.

The sensation of helplessness gnawed at him. He furrowed his brow, piecing together fragments of memory. That shadowy figure that appeared in his room earlier—it was no illusion.

"Who was it?" he whispered, his voice tinged with frustration and suspicion. The faint sound of dripping water somewhere in the cave only deepened the eerie silence that followed.

The black shadow could knock him out in an instant, and there is no doubt about his strength.

Definitely a strong cultivator!

As for how strong he is, the gap is so big that even Chenfeng couldn't sense it.

"You bastard! To deal with a mere Dou Master like me, you actually launched a sneak attack! That's simply too much!"

Chenfeng was very angry when he felt the pain still coming from the back of his head.

He looked at the empty cave in front of him. 'It seems that the other party has temporarily left me here.'

Although he was trapped, Chenfeng calmed down quickly.

Since the other party didn't kill him outright, it stood to reason that he didn't want him dead just yet and had some purpose to bring him here.

In that case, he would just wait quietly for the other party to arrive.

After entering the system space, Chenfeng looked at the 9-Star Dou Ancestor realm experience card inside and felt at ease.

If he encounters a life-or-death crisis later, he will not hesitate to use this trump card.

"Is he inside?"

After Chenfeng waited quietly for a moment, a light and sweet voice suddenly sounded outside the cave, and then a series of subtle footsteps slowly approached the cave.

'Here we go...'

As the footsteps echoed louder against the cave walls, Chenfeng focused his gaze on the approaching figure, his curiosity mingling with wariness, 'could the mastermind behind this be a woman?'

Under the torchlight's flicker, the woman emerged fully into view. She was breathtaking, her beauty as otherworldly as it was elegant. Her long, silky black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, shimmering faintly in the torch's glow. Her delicate features were flawlessly sculpted, with high cheekbones and a jawline that exuded both softness and strength.

Her almond-shaped eyes gleamed with an otherworldly golden hue, sharp yet mesmerizing, as if they could pierce through the very soul. Her skin was as smooth and fair as jade, glowing faintly with an ethereal radiance that made her seem almost untouchable. A faint rosy tint colored her full lips, slightly curved into a frown.

She wore a simple yet elegant purple gown, its fine material flowing gracefully around her like mist. Although devoid of ostentatious adornments, her attire exuded a quiet dignity, making it clear that her status was far from ordinary. Even in the damp and narrow cave, her presence seemed to outshine her surroundings, as if the very space had been reshaped to suit her aura.

Chenfeng's eyes widened slightly, his initial tension now mingled with a trace of awe. "Who... are you? he murmured, unable to mask the mixture of confusion and curiosity in his voice.
