Sun Qian also noticed that Xu Lin and her female assistant had not left, but were waiting outside her home.
She looked at the indifferent Lin Feng and after a moment of silence said, "Little brother Lin Feng, why don't you treat Xu Zhe? This guy's character isn't great, but we shouldn't just leave him to die."
"Sister Qian, you don't need to speak for them. Life and death are determined by fate, and riches and honor are bestowed by heaven. This is something Xu Zhe brought upon himself. Why should I help him?"
"If everyone I met asked for my help, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Lin Feng retorted to Sun Qian.
Sun Qian was immediately rendered speechless by Lin Feng's words.
"Alright, since you're lecturing me with grand principles, what else can I say?"
Sun Qian expressed her helplessness. In fact, she understood the logic, but she just saw Xu Lin's good attitude and wanted to put in a good word.
However, with Lin Feng's firm stance, she couldn't force him to do anything.
As night fell, Sun Qian and Chen Xuerou fell asleep in the same bed, exhausted.
Lin Feng, meanwhile, entered a state of cultivation.
Since breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his Dantian had doubled in size, allowing him to store twice as much True Qi.
Coupled with his six special skills, especially the "Flying Pig Speed" which was practically a cheat, he could now fight opponents above his level. Even if he couldn't kill them, he could at least ensure his own safety.
Just as Lin Feng was content with his current situation, a line of text suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Young man, do not be content with the status quo. The road ahead is long, and you must continue to strive!"
Upon reading this, Lin Feng was completely stunned.
"What the hell, you can actually talk to me?"
Lin Feng couldn't believe the scene in his mind. All this time, the Heaven and Earth Creation Art had only provided him with clues to unlock new skills.
Now, the Heaven and Earth Creation Art was actually initiating a conversation with him?
Had this cultivation technique become sentient?
Lin Feng couldn't describe his feelings at the moment. He thought with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Fine, even if I must strive, you should at least give me a direction to strive in, right?"
"What else can I do besides cultivate right now?"
Lin Feng questioned the cultivation technique.
Unexpectedly, the technique actually responded.
Suddenly, Xu Lin's image appeared in his mind.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Feng was even more confused.
Then, a strange scene materialized in his mind.
The scene displayed Xu Lin's current favorability towards Lin Feng as -10.
When the favorability reached -50, all of Lin Feng's current special skills would be revoked.
When the favorability reached 100, his seventh skill would be unlocked.
"Are you kidding me? You're not giving me hints anymore, you're assigning me missions? What exactly do you want?"
Lin Feng was speechless for a moment.
But there was no further explanation in his mind. The technique completely ignored Lin Feng, as if leaving it up to him to figure things out.
Lin Feng was truly bewildered.
The Heaven and Earth Creation Art was a cultivation technique. Although it occasionally provided hints for new skills, it had always given clues or hints in the past.
Now, it had changed its approach, as if someone was deliberately manipulating him.
The most infuriating thing was that if Lin Feng didn't comply with the technique's wishes, it would revoke all his skills.
This was too ruthless!
Also, what was the connection between the seventh skill and Xu Lin? Why did he have to gain Xu Lin's 100% favorability?
Despite his frustration, Lin Feng remembered the dire consequences of failing the mission and forced himself to remain calm.
"Alright, I'll do as you say. Let's see what you're up to!"
Lin Feng had no choice but to compromise.
He didn't care about unlocking the seventh skill as much as he did about having his skills revoked.
Helplessly, he got up and walked to the door. Peeking through the peephole, he saw that Xu Lin and the female assistant were still waiting at the door.
He opened the door and said calmly, "Miss Xu, you don't need to stand at the door anymore. Come in."
Seeing Lin Feng actively inviting her in, Xu Lin's eyes lit up.
Even the drowsy female assistant was pleasantly surprised. "Did you change your mind and agree to Sister Lin's request?"
Lin Feng nodded. "Something like that. I've thought about it, and I think you're quite sincere. Take this prescription to get medicine for your brother. One dose will be enough to cure him."
Lin Feng returned to the room, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a prescription, handing it to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin took Lin Feng's prescription, still a bit taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude.
But soon, she managed a smile. "Mr. Lin, thank you for helping my brother. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. It's not for your brother's sake, but purely because I think you, as an older sister, are a good person. I'm giving you some face."
Lin Feng didn't want to appear too enthusiastic. Even though he was being forced by the Heaven and Earth Creation Art, he wanted to maintain a cool demeanor.
"Then thank you for giving me face. When my brother is well, I will definitely visit again to express my gratitude."
Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to delay. She took the prescription and left.
At the same time, Xu Lin's favorability in Lin Feng's mind changed from -10 to 0.
"No way, I saved your brother, and you only increased my favorability by 10? With this 10, it's only 0?"
Lin Feng looked at the prompt in his mind and suddenly understood why the Heaven and Earth Creation Art had chosen Xu Lin.
It turned out this woman Xu Lin was quite difficult to deal with!
However, Lin Feng wasn't in a hurry to gain Xu Lin's 100% favor. He recalled his past experiences of obtaining skills and was astonished to realize that each skill he acquired was related to women.
In other words, this time, the Heaven and Earth Creation Art wasn't deliberately arranging things for him; rather, his encounter with Xu Lin had activated the new skill prompt.
It was just that this prompt was different from the previous ones.
Understanding this, Lin Feng felt a bit better.
The next day, Chen Xuerou slowly woke up. Looking at Sun Qian sleeping beside her and the surrounding environment, Chen Xuerou was a bit dazed.
"You're awake?"
Lin Feng entered with a bowl of steaming millet porridge, smiling at Chen Xuerou.
"Lin Feng, why are you here? What happened to me? Why am I at Sister Qian's place?"
Chen Xuerou had drunk a bit too much and was forgetful.
"Little Teacher Chen, you really are absent-minded when you're drunk. You went out drinking with other men last night and got too drunk. I brought you here."
Lin Feng helped Chen Xuerou recall.
"I was drunk, so I didn't do anything excessive, did I?"
Chen Xuerou finally remembered that she had indeed been drinking with Xu Zhe and Sun Qian last night.
"You did. That guy Xu Zhe got you drunk and then tried to sleep with you."
Lin Feng said this to scare her.
"Ah?"
Chen Xuerou was so frightened that she quickly checked her body.
She was devastated.
She worried that she had been defiled by Xu Zhe, and that she would no longer be pure, and would be letting Lin Feng down!
She hated herself for drinking too much last night.
"Alright, I was just teasing you. With me around, how could anyone possibly sleep with you?"
"Even if someone were to sleep with you, it would be me."
Lin Feng saw Chen Xuerou's fear and quickly tried to ease the atmosphere.
"You bad guy, you scared me to death!"
Chen Xuerou angrily grabbed a pillow and threw it at Lin Feng.
The next second, she suddenly thought of something.
"Lin Feng, that's not right. If I was drunk, why did you bring me to Sister Qian's house?"
"Don't tell me you took advantage of my drunkenness and did something that would betray me with Sister Qian?"
Chen Xuerou eyed Lin Feng suspiciously. She glanced at Sun Qian, who was only wearing a nightgown, and didn't believe Lin Feng was the type to remain unmoved.
