Having killed Laruja, his body rapidly shrank and turned into a small bat lying on the ground. With a wave of his hand, Ling Feng made the bat fall from the top of the building, turning into ashes mid-air.

"You absorb this!" Ling Feng said, his palm open, a drop of vibrant Essence Blood spinning in his hand.

There was a deep frown on Han Xiaoxiao's face, a trace of disgust visible in her eyes, "Do I have to absorb it? Isn't it rather disgusting?"

"You've already cultivated the Blood Clan's Cultivation Technique, but your body is still human. If you don't absorb this drop of Essence Blood, your body will eventually mutate, or even lead to death!" Pausing, Ling Feng continued, "Moreover, through cultivation, the Pure Yin Qi inside you has already become quite strong. If you lose control, the minute you get intimate with your boyfriend, he might die from having his Yang Qi absorbed by you!"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Han Xiaoxiao's face, but hearing the seriousness in Ling Feng's words, she endured her disgust and swallowed the drop of Essence Blood.

Since Laruja was dead, the drop of Essence Blood became ownerless, so Han Xiaoxiao's absorption process encountered no obstacles.

Just half an hour later, the Dark Qi that had lingered between Han Xiaoxiao's brows had vanished, replaced by a stunning gentleness. Her demeanor had also undergone a dramatic change!

"You can now be considered on the verge of stepping into the Underworld!" Ling Feng said indifferently, "I will inform the Dragon Group of your situation. They will have someone contact you soon. My task here is done; the rest is up to you!"

With that, Ling Feng's figure flickered and he vanished from in front of Han Xiaoxiao!

Looking at her own palms, Han Xiaoxiao felt a powerful force continuously circulating within: "Is this the power of the strong? With this power, I can now protect my mother. Ling Feng… Brother Ling, thank you!"

The next morning, just after Ling Feng had woken up, he heard someone knocking on his window.

Going outside, he saw it was Chen Yixun, the young man.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" asked Ling Feng, "Do you have some sort of bad habit?"

"Brother Ling, listen to you!" Chen Yixun chuckled, "I successfully confessed to Xiaoxiao, and it's all thanks to your guidance! From today onward, I consider you my big brother. If you ever need help, just ask, and I'll definitely spare no effort!"

Ling Feng waved his hand, "No, the fact that you could pursue Han Xiaoxiao is because you touched her with your sincerity; it has little to do with me! If you really want to thank me, then take good care of Han Xiaoxiao. She's had a tough time before, and if you ever mistreat her, as her maternal family, I won't let you off easily!"

"Rest assured, Brother Ling! Even if it meant bullying myself, I couldn't bear to bully her," Chen Yixun laughed and handed over a bag of breakfast, saying, "This is a small token of my respect for you, and this one is for Xiaoxiao!"

Ling Feng nodded slightly; although Chen Yixun was a rich second-generation, he was genuinely sincere towards Han Xiaoxiao, "Too bad, she went back to her rental room yesterday; she's not in the dormitory."

Chen Yixun was taken aback, "She went back to her rental room? Then, Brother Ling, do you know…"

"Chen Yixun, why did you come here?" Han Xiaoxiao's voice came over as she walked from outside.

"Xiaoxiao, this is the breakfast I brought for you, I thought you might have not eaten yet, let's eat together!" Seeing Han Xiaoxiao, Chen Yixun immediately dropped Ling Feng and hurried after her, "By the way, I was saying before about getting a bigger house; how about we go and see one today?"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'our mom'? You can't just say that!"

"I'm not just saying!" Chen Yixun said, "I will marry no one but you in this life. Isn't your mom my mom then? Is there any problem with what I said?"

Han Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and looked at Ling Feng, gratefully saying, "Brother Ling, thank you so much for yesterday!"

Ling Feng waved his hand, "It's what I should do, you two go and enjoy your time together!"

Watching the two of them walk away while bickering, a faint smile appeared on Ling Feng's face. Han Xiaoxiao's strength and self-respect had won her love, hopefully, they would keep getting better!

For some reason, Ling Feng felt completely satisfied at that moment!

Ding-a-ling! Suddenly, Ling Feng's phone rang, displaying Tang Fengxiao's number.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition enveloped Ling Feng's mind.

"Feng Xiao, this is Ling Feng, what happened?" Ling Feng answered the phone and asked.

"Brother Ling, it's bad, Yun Hanrui has disappeared!" Tang Fengxiao said anxiously over the phone.

Ling Feng's body shuddered, "What! Say that again!!"

Yun Hanrui's disappearance gave Ling Feng an extremely unsettling premonition!

Upon reaching Uncle Yun's house, the Yun family was already enveloped by panic.

"What happened, why has Yun Hanrui disappeared?" As soon as he entered, Ling Feng saw Tang Fengxiao and angrily asked, "What's going on here!"

Tang Fengxiao's face showed embarrassment, "Brother Ling, yesterday President Yun said he wasn't feeling very well, so he went home early. But this morning we discovered Miss Yun wasn't in her bedroom. She's not answering her phone, and after checking the surrounding surveillance, no anomalies have been found!"

"Are you trying to tell me Yun Hanrui disappeared without a trace?" Ling Feng looked very upset. With the Fusang kidnapping incident just a month ago, and now Yun Hanrui disappearing again, how could Ling Feng not be worried?

"Uncle Yun, has Xiao Rui shown any unusual behaviors recently?" Ling Feng turned and asked Yun Yang.

Yun Yang thought for a moment and shook his head, "Recently, the company restarted a project with the Yanjing Municipal Government at the Biotech Park, and Xiao Rui has been very busy. Last night she said she was tired and wanted to rest early, so she went to her bedroom early! But we never expected to wake up this morning and find Xiao Rui gone!"

Ling Feng frowned, "Did Xiao Rui stay in all last night?"

"I got up at 5 AM to make breakfast!" Aunt Yun said, "At that time I didn't notice Xiao Rui wasn't in her bedroom. Could she have left the house in the middle of the night? Could something have happened during that time?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Yun, Aunt Yun, don't worry for now, I'm sure Xiao Rui will be fine! She most likely has something important to deal with and didn't want to bother you. We will go find Xiao Rui now, and there's no need to worry, I'm here for everything!"

Ling Feng signaled Tang Fengxiao with his eyes and said, "Uncle Yun, we'll be going now!"

At that moment, Ling Feng decided not to show any anxious expression in front of the elderly couple, and he was confident they would definitely find Yun Hanrui!
