The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 617: Maid Tuoba Yan!

"Tiance Spirit Spring!"

The despicable donkey couldn't resist. It opened its mouth wide and sucked in the entire Tiance Spirit Spring without hesitation.

Of course, it didn't actually drink the spirit spring water. Instead, it stored it away using a special ability unique to the demon race. Both Zifeng and the despicable donkey had this ability to hold items in a special space, which was much more convenient than the storage spirit rings humans used.

However, Ling Feng couldn’t help but chuckle to himself watching the donkey gulp down the Tiance Spirit Spring like that.

Technically, this spirit spring was his bathwater!

Ling Feng had plans to dig a pool in the Water Elemental Realm within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, connecting ordinary spring water with the Tiance Spirit Spring. This way, the water would flow continuously, even though it would be slightly diluted. It would no longer be stagnant, and this natural "bathhouse" would constantly replenish itself.

Taking a bath in it regularly would also rapidly increase his cultivation!

"Is there more? Is there more?"

Even after collecting all of the Tiance Spirit Spring water that Ling Feng had summoned, the donkey still wasn't satisfied. Its green eyes stared at Ling Feng like it wanted to snatch everything he had left.

"Even if there was, I wouldn't give it to you!" Ling Feng said as he raised his eyebrows. "Last time, you hogged more than half of the Earth-Fire True Essence all to yourself. I've already been generous in giving you this much!"

"Hmph, brat! Today you're ignoring this divine beast, but tomorrow, you'll be begging for my favor!" The donkey crossed its hooves over its chest while glaring at Ling Feng with a disgruntled expression.

Although it complained, the donkey understood the situation. After all, it hadn't contributed much during this adventure. Ling Feng was already being quite generous by sharing so much of the Tiance Spirit Spring.

Even though the donkey grumbled, it knew deep down that expecting it to stop being cheeky would be harder than slaughtering it.

...

The next morning, the group bid farewell to the elders of the Tiance Clan and left Wangduan Mountain.

After stepping out of the space array surrounding Wangduan Mountain, Tuoba Cheng stretched and laughed, "Haha, we're heading back to the imperial capital! Once we're there, I'm going straight to the Lin Family's casino and gambling for three days and nights straight!"

Ling Feng shook his head with a smile. This guy probably had his eyes on one of the Lin sisters!

Meanwhile, Tuoba Yan remained quiet as usual. She followed the group in silence, her mood seemingly low. Or perhaps she was just naturally reserved.

"Miss Tuoba, once we reach the imperial capital, I'll do my best to clear the remaining poison from your body. After that, you're free to go wherever you like. You won't need to stay by my side anymore."

Ling Feng slowed his pace and walked beside Tuoba Yan, speaking to her gently.

Tuoba Yan nodded slightly, responding with a soft "Mhmm," and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Ling Feng shrugged and decided not to press further. He then asked the donkey to summon the demonic cloud, and the group quickly boarded it, heading swiftly toward the imperial capital.

...

Since they weren't in a hurry to return, Ling Feng brought Tuoba Yan around. They visited several large cities along the way, and it took them ten days to finally reach the imperial capital.

As expected, Ling Feng sent Tuoba Cheng back to the Lin Family to continue being the God of Gambling. But figuring out what to do with Tuoba Yan left him troubled.

If Tuoba Yan were to join Tianwei Academy like a regular student, it would be difficult to keep her within a hundred zhang of him at all times. After much consideration and consulting with her, they decided that she would temporarily enter the academy as a maid.

Since Ling Feng had recently advanced to the rank of mystical-tier student, according to the academy's rules, he was allowed to have one or two personal maids or servants.

This also conveniently solved Tuoba Yan's accommodation problem to some extent.

The idea of the Sacred Master of the Tiance Clan serving as his maid also gave Ling Feng a slight sense of accomplishment.

After taking care of the necessary formalities, Ling Feng led Tuoba Yan to the new courtyard assigned to him.

Luckily, the other yellow-tier students who advanced alongside him from the East Court were also living nearby. Ling Feng saw that Zhou Kai, Feng Mo, and Yang Jun had already returned and were staying in the adjacent courtyards. So, he wouldn't be too far from his former roommates.

However, Jiang Xiaofan had yet to return. He was likely still training with Gu Tengfeng and the others.

When the other people who were living near Ling Feng’s courtyard saw Tuoba Yan following Ling Feng, they naturally started teasing him. When they learned that she was serving as his maid, their excitement grew even further. A beautiful woman like her is just a maid? Brother Feng truly lives up to his reputation!

Over time, Tuoba Yan had learned some social etiquette. She was no longer as cold and distant as before, and could now exchange a few words with the others.

Once everything was settled, Ling Feng set off again, this time heading to Yan Cangtian's medicinal herb garden. Naturally, Tuoba Yan followed.

Because the new academic term was about to begin, they encountered many students along the way. When they saw Tuoba Yan beside Ling Feng, they couldn't help but be awestruck.

"Wow, looks like the list of the top ten beauties in Tianwei Academy might need an update this year."

"Definitely! She could easily rank in the top three!"

"I think she could even rival Yue Yunlan, the number one beauty!"

"You haven’t heard the latest news, have you? The ten hidden talents[1] who went to the Heisha Region for training returned recently. One of them, Mu uh... Mu something... was breathtakingly beautiful!"

"Mu Qianxue? You forgot a beauty like that? Shame on you!"

"Haha, I just remember her face. She's so stunning that it leaves you breathless!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Yeah, this new girl is gorgeous too, but her cold demeanor makes her seem unapproachable."

"..."

Ling Feng paid no attention to the gossiping students. With Tuoba Yan, he continued on his way to the medicinal herb garden. Soon, they arrived at the familiar courtyard.

Before he could enter, an immense aura stopped him in his tracks, preventing him from getting any closer.

"An emperor-level expert! What a powerful presence!"

Tuoba Yan's eyes also flashed with surprise as she exclaimed, "Are there that many emperor-level experts in the outside world?"

"There aren't too many, but the person we're about to meet is one of them."

Ling Feng rubbed his nose. Elder Yan should've already ascended to the level of a human emperor. The aura I'm sensing indicates Elder Yan had only achieved this breakthrough recently, yet his presence is even more overwhelming than that of the despicable donkey.

This was the result of accumulating strength over time, especially since Yan Cangtian had used the Poison Fruit of Ten Thousand Evil to aid in his breakthrough. His elemental qi was incredibly refined, and now that he had become a human emperor, it was unlikely that ordinary human emperors could match him.

Geniuses and ordinary people always had vast differences between them, and Yan Cangtian was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.
