Ling Zhenfei laughed, taking Bai Ling's hand and saying, "I was just trying to scare you on purpose. I'm not that kind of person. By the way, did you need something from me?"

Bai Ling remembered why she had come and said, "It's like this, I've already posted the video online, and initially, the netizens were all crying and protesting against Dragon Tiger Storm. But after seeing the video I posted, they switched sides, and I guess they're whitewashing us online now."

Ling Zhenfei of course knew what would have happened since he had already thought of it before. "It's not just about whitewashing us. They will very energetically promote Dragon Tiger Storm, and probably, from now on, no one will believe any smear against Dragon Tiger Storm anymore."

"I really thank you so much, especially your fans. From the start, they've supported Dragon Tiger Storm, and when we were being slandered, they all defended us relentlessly, which moved us deeply." Bai Ling said gratefully.

"I'll pass on your thanks, don't worry about it."

Ling Zhenfei originally planned to continue his cultivation after Bai Ling left, but then, even after everything was said, Bai Ling still showed no signs of leaving.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Bai Ling curiously and asked, "Is there anything else you need, why aren't you going home to rest so late?"

"About earlier, are you mad at me?" Bai Ling asked worriedly.

"Mad at you for what?" Ling Zhenfei wasn't angry, so he didn't know what Bai Ling was referring to.

"Are you playing dumb? It was about the matter I wasn't prepared for earlier, when I asked to be your girlfriend. Am I disappointing you now?" Bai Ling was no longer her usual assertive self, instead she seemed like a young girl just out of school.

Ling knew Bai Ling was overthinking it and quickly said, "I'm not angry. Stop worrying about it, and if there's nothing else, you should go back and rest."

After Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, he realized that Bai Ling still showed no intention of going to rest and kept staring straight at him.

"Ling Zhenfei, I'm asking you seriously, when you said earlier that I wasn't ready, have you made up your mind?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback after hearing this. "What do you mean by 'made up your mind'?"

Bai Ling held Ling Zhenfei's hand, her voice filled with emotion, "Have you decided where to place me? If you can marry me in the future, I will listen to you, I will never change my heart, I just ask for your assurance."

This caught Ling Zhenfei off guard. Could he give Bai Ling that assurance? Bai Ling was indeed a remarkable young woman, not only in looks but also her family background and even her personality, which although could sometimes be a bit overbearing, Ling Zhenfei didn't mind it.

However, Ling Zhenfei couldn't offer her any assurance. There were many girls around him, but he couldn't assure all of them because he was too special, whether it was the Northern Spiritual Energy in him or the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, which clearly wouldn't let him be an ordinary person.

Ordinary people could have a lifelong love, but what about Ling Zhenfei? He didn't know yet, and he hadn't even thought about getting married, though his sister-in-law had always been urging him, but he really wasn't ready.

"I'm sorry, as I've told you before, I don't want to think about marriage just yet, and I also can't make a promise to anyone. I owe you an apology for earlier. I shouldn't have been so impulsive, so I apologize here."

"You don't have to apologize to me, it was all my choice. If I couldn't get your assurance, it only means I haven't met your expectations yet, right?" Bai Ling looked somewhat despondent.

Ling Zhenfei hastily consoled Bai Ling, saying, "Everything I've told you is the truth. We've already discussed this issue before. I really can't make any promises to you, but when I have time, I'll explain everything to you in detail."

Bai Ling shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't make any promises to me. I don't even want to know anymore. As long as you treat me well in the future, that's enough. After all, it's because I like you."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, she stood up, pushed the door, and walked out. As the door closed, Ling Zhenfei started to reflect on what had been happening with him lately, especially what he had almost done to Bai Ling, which was a bit impulsive.

Perhaps it was because he had been without a woman for too long. Ling Zhenfi's body was unusual, and with the addition of Northern Spiritual Energy, his capabilities were very powerful.

It was precisely because he was so capable in this aspect that, having been without a woman for so long and considering how beautiful Bai Ling was, he had nearly lost control.

Although Bai Ling had said those words earlier, he knew that even if something had truly happened between them, Bai Ling wouldn't be able to hold him accountable, yet he felt remorseful, struggling with an internal barrier.

Ling Zhenfei didn't think much more about it and sat on the bed to start his cultivation. Practicing Dual Cultivation of Technique and Law, alongside the abundant Northern Spiritual Energy in the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, was extremely beneficial for his Divine Sense cultivation.

Because the levels of the two Cultivation Techniques differed greatly, Ling Zhenfei now focused primarily on practicing Soul Passage.

Soul Passage was incredibly unique. If cultivated properly, it was powerful enough to instantly eliminate an unguarded cultivator.

Moreover, even if he couldn't eliminate an opponent instantly, it was sufficient to slow down their actions, giving Ling Zhenfei an opportunity to capitalize.

Ling Zhenfei put up a note on the main door clearly stating that he was in closed-door cultivation and not to be disturbed unless it was something important.

He then commenced his relentless cultivation, going without sleep or rest. Given his current strength, Ling Zhenfei could easily endure a long period without requiring food, water, or sleep.

After several days of cultivation, someone finally knocked on Ling Zhenfei's door. His Divine Sense emerged from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow. After stretching languidly, he stood up and opened the door.

It was Bai Ling standing outside. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, she expressed great joy, "You finally opened the door. I was worried you wouldn't, and that would have driven me crazy."

Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "What, did you miss me that much? Don't worry, I'm not going to die."

"Alright, you must have had enough rest by now. Today is the day the auction begins, which is why I called you.

Ling Zhenfei sighed deeply. He hadn't realized time could pass so quickly. Maybe that's what it means to neglect sleep and food for cultivation. Over these few days, his Divine Sense grew stronger, and the Dual Cultivation made him feel that his cultivation speed had increased significantly. Cultivating both techniques not only did not impede his cultivation speed, but it also significantly helped accelerate the cultivation of his Spiritual Power.

With Bai Ling's assistance, Ling Zhenfei first washed and had a big meal, replenishing what he had lost over the days, then they drove directly to the auction in Bai Ling's car.

During the ride, Bai Ling recounted everything that had happened in the past few days. Though he had been absent, Zongheng International had still stirred up quite a lot of trouble.
