And just as Chu Feng was gazing at Long Xiaoxiao, she seemed to sense his look and suddenly turned her head towards him.
Upon seeing Chu Feng, she even smiled sweetly, her youthful and lively face blooming with a sweet smile.
Immediately after, with her hands clasped behind her back, she sauntered towards Chu Feng with elegant yet playful steps.
“Benefactor, please accept this young lady’s bow.”
Coming before Chu Feng, Long Xiaoxiao even performed a curtsey to him.
This sight left everyone dumbfounded.
How could this lofty, supremely noble princess deign to bow to someone of such lowly status.
And call him benefactor into the bargain? What utter impropriety.
But compared to the others, the previously stern-faced Long Shengbu merely smiled faintly.
Only Long Xiaoxiao, Long Shengbu, and Chu Feng knew what had truly passed between them.
“This one is Chu Feng; pays respects to the Long clan’s Supreme Elder and Princess.”
At this moment, Chu Feng too returned the bow.
Chu Feng knew full well that their previous lowly identities and strengths in the Endless Abyss had been mere disguises.
These were their true selves now.
Facing them in such statuses, Chu Feng could no longer interact with them as a benefactor.
“In future, when you see me, no need for bows; moreover, I permit you to address me directly by name.”
“But remember, I am not called Long Xiao; I am Long Xiaoxiao.”
“And I am not a man; I am a girl.”
After saying this, Long Xiaoxiao even blinked her playful big eyes at Chu Feng.
One had to admit, setting aside her earlier ruthlessness.
This girl was truly adorable.
“Actually, Princess, you need not explain deliberately; I could tell.”
Chu Feng said.
“This old man is not called Long Busheng either, but Long Shengbu.”
Long Shengbu said with a smile too.
“And I… am truly called Chu Feng.”
Chu Feng said.
This bit of casual chit-chat.
Seemed nothing much.
But it left the crowd below green with envy.
Even Long Daozhi and the Ancestral Martial Dragon City folk watched in a daze.
That was the exalted Long clan princess and Supreme Elder.
What status, what nobility.
And Chu Feng was bantering with them.
Though the Ancestral Martial Dragon City people all knew Chu Feng was prodigiously talented.
Still, when they first met him, Chu Feng had been but a member of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Within the Ancestral Martial Starfield, Chu Feng and the Chu Heavenly Clan had needed their Ancestral Martial Dragon City’s protection to survive, to stay alive.
Yet in a twinkling, Chu Feng was chatting amiably with these Long clan grand figures whom they dared not profane, could not even approach.
It felt dreamlike to them, somewhat unbelievable.
In their hearts rose an indescribable feeling.
After this brief chat, Chu Feng flew down.
Landing beside Long Daozhi.
Chu Feng still fretted over Long Daozhi’s injuries and wanted to tend to them personally.
After all, this concerned Long Daozhi’s future prospects.
“Chu Feng, come on, tell me quickly, how did you come to know the Princess and the Supreme Elder.”
Long Daozhi, now recovered to awareness, could not help asking curiously.
He was truly too curious, even rather envious.
After all, that was the Supreme Elder and the Princess.
And Chu Feng did not conceal it, tending to the wounds while recounting the events to Long Daozhi and the others via voice transmission.
Of course, Chu Feng used private transmission, for there was no need to publicise such matters; knowing among close ones sufficed.
While Chu Feng tended to Long Daozhi, Long Xiaoxiao turned her gaze towards Fu Mo Xin’er.
“You, girl, have some courage at least.”
“But courage is commendable, though your tone is rather grand, is it not.”
“How do you know my tone is grand.”
Yet towards Long Xiaoxiao, Fu Mo Xin’er’s attitude showed not the slightest fear; instead, it held some antipathy.
That look even carried a hint of hostility.
This sight made quite a few people drop their jaws.
This girl was pretty, true, but she could not be so rude, could she, daring such an attitude towards the Long clan princess proper.
But Long Xiaoxiao was not angry; instead, she said with a beaming smile, “Girl, just now, if I had not shown up in time, your end would have been utterly miserable; you ought to thank me now.”
“Is that so.”
Hearing this, the corners of Fu Mo Xin’er’s mouth lifted in a faint smile too.
“If you had not shown up, your Long clan would have been done for.”
Fu Mo Xin’er said.
“You, girl, your tone truly is bold.”
But at Fu Mo Xin’er’s words, Long Xiaoxiao’s smile grew all the more playful.
“Stop calling me girl this and girl that; sister’s age is greater than yours.”
Fu Mo Xin’er said.
“Greater than mine.”
“Where are you greater than me.”
“Oh~~~”
“Seems like here, you are indeed greater.”
As Long Xiaoxiao spoke, she glanced at Fu Mo Xin’er’s chest.
“You, little girl.”
Hearing this, Fu Mo Xin’er instinctively glanced at her own chest, after which her peerlessly beautiful cheeks flushed red as a ripe apple.
For Long Xiaoxiao was quite right.
Her bosom had indeed developed better than Long Xiaoxiao’s.
But with Long Xiaoxiao’s words drawing the eyes of many present to her chest, how could Fu Mo Xin’er not feel embarrassed.
Though clothed, being stared at like this was still mortifying.
Yet she could not say much more.
“Oh my, so you can blush too.”
“That will not do; if you love boasting so, you need to toughen that skin a bit.”
As Long Xiaoxiao spoke, she even reached out her little hand to pinch Fu Mo Xin’er’s cheek.
“Let go.”
Seeing this, Fu Mo Xin’er slapped Long Xiaoxiao’s hand away in clear distaste.
And at Fu Mo Xin’er’s thoroughly disrespectful act, Long Xiaoxiao was not angry; instead, a charming smile appeared on her exquisite face.
“You know, the feel is not bad; wonder which lad will get lucky later.”
“Would not be Chu Feng, would it.”
Long Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes, grinning mischievously as she asked.
“What nonsense are you spouting.”
Hearing this, Fu Mo Xin’er’s little face reddened even more.
“Nothing, just chatting.”
“Even if you wanted, Chu Feng might not fancy you.”
Long Xiaoxiao said with a giggle.
“You!!!”
Fu Mo Xin’er, whose face had been flushed with shyness, now had anger surging in her eyes.
But staring at the giggling Long Xiaoxiao, she found she could not vent that fury.
“Alright, no more teasing.”
“You, girl, have thin skin and cannot take a jest.”
With that, Long Xiaoxiao bounded over to Chu Feng’s side with steps light as a butterfly.
Seeing Long Xiaoxiao approach, the Ancestral Martial Dragon City crowd hastily performed grand salutes; even the gravely wounded Long Daozhi struggled to rise and bow.
Facing such a noble princess, they dared not slight her.
“No need for salutes; I dislike that sort of thing most.”
Yet Long Xiaoxiao simply waved it off.
This left the Ancestral Martial Dragon City folk at a loss.
They dared not salute, yet dared not not salute.
For they feared Long Xiaoxiao.
Unsure if her words were true or false.
If true, not saluting was fine; if false, not saluting might displease her instead.
As the saying went, serving a monarch was like tending a tiger.
With no choice, they looked instead to Chu Feng.
“Listen to the Princess.”
Chu Feng said.
“Thank you, Princess.”
Hearing this, the crowd hurriedly thanked her, including the wounded Long Daozhi.
“Why still Princess this and Princess that; I said, from now on, call me Long Xiaoxiao.”
Long Xiaoxiao said playfully, then glanced at Long Daozhi.
“Here, have him take this; it aids in restoring the dantian.”
Long Xiaoxiao took out a pill and handed it to Chu Feng.
