"As expected~"
Ye Feng smiled, unsurprised.
After all, he had grown up in the Star Dou Great Forest, raised by Gu Yuena's side since childhood.
Even after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, even while he was out in the world…
The one who remained most deeply connected to him was still Gu Yuena.
In his life, Gu Yuena occupied the most significant position.
Ye Feng turned his gaze to the other Lexical Traits.
[Frost Throne] was undoubtedly the most suitable for the Ice Empress, as this trait came with the Ice Authority, allowing her to master the Ice Rule more quickly.
However, there could only be one Ice God.
He wasn't sure if the Divine Realm already had an "Ice God."
If there were no deities in the Divine Realm who had mastered the Ice Rule, then the Ice Empress only needed to fully comprehend it to directly condense Ice Godhood and ascend to the Divine Realm.
But if there was already an "Ice" deity in the Divine Realm, the Ice Empress would have to compete with them for the Ice Authority.
If she won, she could ascend as the Ice God. If she lost…
Well, Ye Feng would just kill the Ice God and take their Ice Godhood by force.
Of course, if the Ice God willingly relinquished their divine position, that would be the best outcome for everyone.
...
As for the [Life Praise] trait, it was naturally prepared for A Yin.
Although Ye Feng also possessed life-attribute traits, he had no interest in the Life Godhood and had no intention of claiming it.
The Divine Realm already had a Goddess of Life—one of the five Great God Kings—and she was also the wife of the God of Destruction.
If Ye Feng wanted to seize the Life Godhood, the difficulty would be considerable.
However, the Goddess of Life was known to be reasonable. Given A Yin's exceptional Talent, Ye Feng felt there was a high chance he could persuade her to pass the Life Godhood to A Yin.
Additionally, there was the [Nine Lives] trait. Though it wasn't speed-related, it was still a decent fit for Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, cats were said to have nine lives—this would help cover one of her weaknesses.
Beyond that, Ye Feng equipped [Soul Parasitism].
Though it didn't enhance his combat power, it was an interesting ability that compensated for a flaw in his fifth Soul Skill, [Star Eyes·All Creation].
While his fifth Soul Skill did possess abilities like illusion creation and hypnosis for mental control, it had several shortcomings—such as the inability to maintain long-term control over a target according to his will.
[Soul Parasitism] perfectly made up for this flaw, allowing him to split off a strand of his consciousness and implant it into a target's body.
Through this parasitism, Ye Feng could directly overwrite the target's will, effectively creating a puppet.
Alternatively, he could retain the target's self-awareness and manipulate them into acting on his behalf.
As for [Destiny Dice], even its enhancement effect was useless to Ye Feng, and the destruction effect didn't matter to him either. It was neither here nor there, so he decided to keep it for now.
Then there was [Time Thief]. As Ye Feng grew stronger, his lifespan only increased—he had more than enough time to spare. Naturally, he couldn't care less about stealing a measly bit of time.
Besides, the act of stealing itself was underhanded, and Ye Feng wasn't particularly fond of it.
It would be like a billionaire stealing pennies from a beggar—utterly beneath him.
The other traits had their pros and cons, but Ye Feng had no intention of equipping them. Their boosts were too minor, so he'd rather gift them away in exchange for more draw chances.
...
...
Ye Feng left his secluded cultivation site and went straight to find Zhu Zhuqing.
Due to Zi Ji's Bloodline Evolution, both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had their training interrupted and were currently staying in their courtyard.
Ye Feng used Blink and appeared directly outside Zhu Zhuqing's room.
Previously, Ye Feng would usually Blink straight into the other person's room.
However, after putting himself in their shoes, he realized this might be somewhat impolite.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing didn't mind at all, he still tried to avoid doing so.
After all, everyone had their privacy, and this was also a way of showing respect.
"Ye Feng, is that you?"
Since Ye Feng hadn't concealed his presence, Zhu Zhuqing inside the room immediately noticed the disturbance and asked nervously.
After all, the only one who could appear outside her room at any time was Ye Feng.
"Yeah, are you busy, Zhu Zhuqing?"
Ye Feng nodded, then gently knocked on the door.
"It's fine, come in."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke, but she quickly dashed over and opened the door.
At the moment, she was only wrapped in a towel, her hair dry, with a faint trace of sweat on her body—clearly, she had just been about to take a bath.
Had Ye Feng Blinked directly into her room earlier, he might have seen something nice…
Zhu Zhuqing pulled Ye Feng inside, then hurriedly poured him a cup of tea.
Since she was only wrapped in a towel, the "great truths" on her chest were unrestrained, swaying with every step, nearly jumping out…
"Alright, no need for all this trouble."
Only after Zhu Zhuqing finished preparing the tea did Ye Feng pull her over and embrace her.
"Stop it, I haven't even bathed yet, I must smell…"
Zhu Zhuqing resisted slightly, whispering.
As for Ye Feng's purpose in coming, there was no need to guess—it was obviously…
"I don't mind." Ye Feng said, even pulling aside her towel, burying his face against her and taking a deep breath.
"Mmm, what are you doing? Why are you always like this…" Zhu Zhuqing blushed furiously.
Even though it had happened many times before, she couldn't help but feel shy when faced with Ye Feng like this.
Still, despite her shyness, she didn't resist at all—her heart was even filled with sweetness.
After all, at the very least, she had certain "assets" that Ye Feng particularly liked, which made her very happy.
"Haha, enough joking. I came this time to give you a gift." Ye Feng pulled back, his expression turning serious.
"Oh! A gift! Is it one of those Pills?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was instantly delighted.
She had already taken several of those Pills, each granting her special abilities and enhancements. Though there had only been two major boosts, even the minor ones were quite good.
"Mm, this Pill will grant you a Talent called 'Nine Lives'..."
Ye Feng nodded, then explained the specific effects of the [Nine Lives] Lexical Trait to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Nine Lives… That's incredible! Does that mean I'll have nine lives?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in shock.
This "Talent" was far more powerful than any she had obtained before—it was on an entirely different level!
Clearly, the "Pill" Ye Feng was giving her this time was the most precious kind!
At this thought, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively wanted to refuse…
After all, if this Pill were given to Ye Feng, the benefits would far outweigh giving it to her.
"No refusing. This was prepared specifically for you. After all, legend says little cats have nine lives—you shouldn't fall short~"
Ye Feng patted Zhu Zhuqing's head, cutting off her unspoken refusal.
Though [Nine Lives] was good, it couldn't compare to Ye Feng's own [Star Dragon Offering]. Plus, the cooldown was ridiculously long—the cost-performance ratio was just too low.
