Now that Feng Hai is dead, Qin Ranran stood in place, her eyes sweeping across the scene, landing on Li Chengfeng who was focused on his cultivation in the distance.
Her mood was complex, filled with both lament for Feng Hai's death and a renewed understanding of Li Chengfeng's strength.
She took a deep breath and mustered the courage to walk towards Li Chengfeng.
"Li Shidi, today was the day of my duel with Feng Hai."
Qin Ranran's tone carried a hint of gentleness, "You killed Feng Hai, how am I to resolve the demonic oath in my heart?
How about this, you and I have another duel. If you win, I will... I will marry you as compensation;
If you lose, we will still be Shixiong and Shimei, what do you think?"
Li Chengfeng's heart stirred slightly upon hearing Qin Ranran's words, but he quickly regained his composure.
He understood that this was a suggestion Qin Ranran had made to resolve the demonic oath in her heart.
He glanced at Qin Ranran indifferently and said, "As you wish, duel if you want to.
But if you lose, are you really going to marry me? I hope you will think twice before you act. If you don't like me, and don't want to marry me, then there's no need for a duel."
Qin Ranran's heart skipped a beat when she heard Li Chengfeng's words.
She hadn't expected Li Chengfeng to respond to her proposal so directly.
She took a deep breath and said firmly, "I am determined, no matter the outcome, I will accept it."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said nothing more. He continued to focus on his cultivation, ignoring the surrounding discussions.
He knew that his strength had already attracted everyone's attention, but this was not what he wanted. He only wanted to focus on his cultivation and constantly improve his strength.
The disciples below the stage witnessed this scene and were shocked and puzzled.
Was this still the Qin Ranran they knew, as cold as frost?
She was actually being so amiable to a disciple, while that disciple, Li Xu, seemed so aloof, as if he didn't take Qin Ranran seriously at all.
Some disciples began to whisper, discussing this sudden change.
They didn't understand why Qin Ranran would be so special to Li Chengfeng, and why Li Chengfeng could treat Qin Ranran so coldly.
However, at this moment, some protectors of the flower began to jump out and accuse Li Chengfeng.
They were furious, believing that Li Chengfeng had used a sneak attack to kill Feng Hai, which was a desecration of Qin Ranran.
They clamored for Li Chengfeng to suffer, claiming that the Law Enforcement Team would soon come to arrest him.
"Li Xu, don't be arrogant!" one disciple shouted angrily, "Do you think killing Feng Hai will be the end of it?
This matter is not over! The Law Enforcement Team will come to settle the score with you soon!"
"What an ignorant fool!" another disciple chimed in, "You're about to die, yet you dare to be rude to the fairy, it's utterly detestable!"
"What qualifications do you have to speak to the fairy like that, this is the greatest blasphemy. You are nothing, you use despicable means, this is not your true strength!"
Huang Mao, however, didn't think so. He felt that Li Chengfeng had done what he didn't have the courage to do. Feng Hai's death made him extremely happy, and the haze in his heart for many years finally had a glimmer of light.
These protectors of the flower seemed to have found a new opportunity, and they began to spread Li Chengfeng's crimes everywhere, trying to get more people to stand on their side.
They hoped to use this opportunity to please Qin Ranran and win her favor.
