Chapter 395: Don’t Think Too Highly of Yourself
Ah!
How could he say such threatening words so openly and brazenly!
...
None of the people around had expected Li Zerui to utter such a threat, openly displaying that he was already frantic and no longer cared about his status. Initially, they thought he was a decent person based on his appearance and manner of speaking, but no one expected him to turn hostile so abruptly. Even more exaggerated was his implication of wanting to harm Lin Feng— to want Lin Feng dead!
How could he be so bold to say such things in front of so many people? If something dangerous were to happen to Lin Feng, then he would...
"The man who can take my life has not appeared yet. There’s no place for you here anymore, don’t you see? If you don’t leave now, I’ll feel embarrassed for you!" Lin Feng was unfazed by Li Zerui’s threats, as he had never been afraid of any. Instead, Lin Feng’s seemingly ordinary words inflicted greater damage on Li Zerui than any direct threat might have, even prompting laughter from those nearby, which added to Li Zerui’s embarrassment.
"I... you... how dare you speak to me like that! It seems you’re seeking your own death!" Li Zerui became furious upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, shivering with rage. To think Lin Feng had the audacity to say such harsh words to him—who did Lin Feng think he was! It seemed that if he didn’t thrash Lin Feng, the latter would never learn his place!
With that thought, Li Zerui hastily withdrew the True Qi Shield he had provided for Ding Wan’er, and the wind instantly blew out the candles on the cake. Now enraged beyond concern for his dignity, Li Zerui had only one thought: to strike Lin Feng down and disable this man who dared to challenge him.
Ah, what’s happening?
Are they going to fight?
It seems that Li Zerui is heading that way.
...
Witnessing this, everyone couldn’t help but step aside, seeing that both individuals were quite heated and could likely come to blows at any moment. Li Zerui was known to be formidable, but Lin Feng was no pushover—after all, he was the one who had defeated a ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo. With these two clashing, no one could predict the outcome, but one thing was certain: it was wise to keep a safe distance.
However, everyone was also eager to see which of the two—Li Zerui or Lin Feng—was the more formidable.
"..." Ding Wan’er, seeing Li Zerui ready to make a move on Lin Feng, was extremely anxious. Although Lin Feng was powerful, Li Zerui was even more extraordinary. If Li Zerui actually attacked, wouldn’t Lin Feng be in great danger?
Ding Wan’er wanted to intervene and prevent Li Zerui from attacking Lin Feng, but before she could say anything, she saw Lin Feng wink at her, clearly indicating that she didn’t need to worry about the matter. Confident in Lin Feng’s ability to handle the situation, Ding Wan’er decided it was unnecessary to interject.
With that in mind, Ding Wan’er remained silent on the side, curious to see how Lin Feng would handle the challenge.
"AAA-level strength is nothing special. Don’t think too highly of yourself! Besides, this is a birthday party, not a place for you to lose your temper. Weren’t you trying to be dignified? Then don’t embarrass yourself here." Having said that, Lin Feng raised his hand and sent an invisible True Qi Wave toward Li Zerui without warning. Then, without paying Li Zerui any more attention, he walked over to Ding Wan’er. It was her birthday after all, and he couldn’t let the birthday candles remain unlit—it would be too inauspicious.
"You!..." Li Zerui never dreamt that Lin Feng, who looked barely in his twenties, was actually an AAA-level expert, for the True Qi Wave that Lin Feng had unleashed betrayed his level. So young and yet an AAA-level master, could he be the Young Master of a Prominent Family? But that didn’t make sense—he knew all the Young Masters, and as far as he was aware, they were only at the initial stages of AAA-level. Moreover, none of them could generate a True Qi Wave... so what was this?
But before Li Zerui could ponder further, the True Qi Wave reached him, and with no choice but to act, he quickly circulated his Cultivation Power to intercept and dissipate the wave, pushing it away with both hands. However, this brief exchange forced Li Zerui to retreat a full step, stunning him even further. From the force of Lin Feng’s True Qi Wave, he could tell that Lin Feng was at least at the middle stage of AAA-level, and whether Lin Feng was holding back his true strength still remained unclear. In other words, Lin Feng was now even more formidable than himself in his earlier days—how could that be possible!
In his heart, Li Zerui was utterly shocked; after all, he was the Young Master of the Li Family, and it had taken all of the family’s resources for him to reach his current level. Yet Lin Feng had surpassed his past self! Lin Feng was too incredible; even the current Young Masters of the Prominent Families were not as powerful as him. Who exactly was Lin Feng? Such prowess couldn’t be without origin!
Li Zerui was now racking his brains trying to figure out who Lin Feng truly was...
What’s wrong with Li Zerui?
What is he doing?
How could Li Zerui take a step back from facing thin air?
...
Everyone watched as Lin Feng waved his sleeve, and Li Zerui quickly put up his arm and even stepped back, immediately arousing a sense of curiosity. What was going on? Could it be that Lin Feng had managed to unleash an invisible Sword Qi, the kind spoken of in legends, forcing Li Zerui to retreat a step? Otherwise, why would Li Zerui have stepped back...
Ignoring Li Zerui’s reaction, Lin Feng walked straight to the side of the cake, gazed at Ding Wan’er, and snapped his fingers, causing a candle to light itself suddenly.
Another snap of his fingers, and another candle lit itself just as suddenly.
...
And so, one by one, he lit all the candles that had previously been extinguished.
Ah! How did those light up?
The candles!
Just a few snaps of the fingers and...
...
Everyone present, witnessing each candle light up with a snap of Lin Feng’s fingers, were filled with utter astonishment. It was too magical. Snapping fingers to light candles was simply impossible, especially since Lin Feng was standing several steps away from the cake, and there was a breeze, no less. How could this be happening? It really was miraculous! How did he do it? Even magic tricks weren’t this impressive!
Ding Wan’er, too, was amazed to see the candles lighting up one after the other with each snap of Lin Feng’s fingers, a spectacle beyond her comprehension as a mere mortal. Even she couldn’t understand how Lin Feng achieved such an astonishing feat.
But with every snap of his fingers and lighting of a candle, as the candlelight brightened, so did Ding Wan’er’s heart with joy. Yet before she could ponder further, she noticed Lin Feng staring at her, and her cheeks flushed with shyness. Today, all secrets had been revealed, and unless something unexpected happened, by tomorrow, the news of Lin Feng being her fiancé would spread throughout Yingbo University.
Since Lin Feng hadn’t objected, it meant he had accepted her. What would Lin Feng do next? Would he walk over and take her hand, or would he offer her his arm...
Li Zerui, having seen Lin Feng snap his fingers a few times, and the cake’s candles already lit, was utterly bewildered and couldn’t understand how Lin Feng had done it. Was it magic? He looked at Lin Feng, his face a picture of disbelief. After all, he was a AAA-class fighter at his peak, yet he couldn’t perform such a task. What was going on here?
While everyone was still in a state of shock, Lin Feng, under the gaze of all, walked over to Ding Wan’er and naturally took her hand.
Lin Feng looked tenderly at Ding Wan’er, "Happy birthday, my fiancée!"
"Mm!" Ding Wan’er, fighting back her embarrassed heart from fleeing, quietly accepted with a voice just louder than a mosquito’s. Her heart was overwhelmed with joy, never expecting things to go so smoothly. If she had known, she would have been honest with Lin Feng earlier and wouldn’t have had to struggle with the dilemma for so long.
But today had been full of surprises, leading to an unforeseen conclusion. Ding Wan’er’s initial plans had all been unnecessary. Regardless, she had achieved her goal of being candid about their relationship, and with Lin Feng acknowledging her before everyone, he had practically declared her as his woman. That was enough!
With that thought, Ding Wan’er looked up at Lin Feng, who was gazing at her tenderly, and made up her mind. From now on, she would do her utmost to be Lin Feng’s fiancée, take care of all his needs, and fulfill the duties expected of her to the best of her abilities. Work would no longer dictate her life!
"Wow..."
"That’s great!"
"So wonderful!"
...
Seeing this, everyone present started clapping, delighted by the scene unfolding before them. They applauded for Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er’s engagement, sharing in the happiness of the couple.
Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er were truly a match made in heaven, with Lin Feng’s talents reaching a transcendent level, shattering the self-confidence of everyone present. So many inconceivable events had coalesced, making it hard for the crowd to believe in his exceptional and indescribable abilities. Ding Wan’er, on the other hand, was also an extraordinary beauty, and as the brilliant and lovely president of Tianhai, no one could have imagined who would be worthy of her as a fiancé.
It wasn’t until today, at this moment, that they fully realized Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er were meant for each other. Seeing the looks between Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er assured them that it wasn’t just an engagement binding them; they truly had affection for one another. With such positive feelings on top of an engagement, their relationship was certain. With that in mind, everyone offered their blessings, wishing the couple all the best.
