To Chu Kangbo, if he wasn't satisfied, he would kill himself.
It wasn't that Chu Kangbo disallowed Chu Qingyu from having a sweetheart this early; it was because Chu Kangbo felt she hadn't met anyone suitable.
If his daughter genuinely liked Xia Feng, he felt his daughter wouldn't be worthy.
Xia Feng was like a star in the sky, unattainable.
He was willing, but one had to make others willing too.
Chu Kangbo shook his head, not dwelling on unrealistic matters, yet a sliver of hope remained in his heart.
Chu Qingyu ran quickly to her boudoir and closed the door tightly, experiencing for the first time a burgeoning feeling of liking a man, which inevitably made her shy.
Moreover, at her age in the Saint Realm, she had just reached adulthood, still quite immature and understanding nothing.
However, after seeing Xia Feng today, she felt she had opened up. Especially when Xia Feng’s mighty figure soared into the sky, casually annihilating a Saint Emperor early stage super expert with a single finger, saving an entire city; anyone would have fallen for him completely.
Chu Qingyu lay on her bed, hiding under the covers, too embarrassed to be seen, her face flushed.
Xia Feng's image involuntarily appeared in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more engrossed she became.
If he were to hold her...
And do what men like to do with force...
It would surely feel amazing, right?
...
After Xia Feng left Ascending City with the few women, their next destination was the largest city in the Saint Realm: the Imperial City.
The Imperial City was also the residence of the royal family. The Saint Realm had always been divided into nations, and the Imperial City was the capital of the unified great dynasty of the Saint Realm, as well as its largest dynasty.
The royal family had been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, their status deeply ingrained in people's hearts.
The Imperial City had three guardians at the Great Perfection of Saint Venerable stage. As for how many other Saint Venerables there were, it was unknown.
The Saint Realm was a place where strength spoke, and the royal family did not care about power; they were merely symbols for the people.
Moreover, not just the royal family, but the entire Saint Realm only cared about strength and cultivation resources; few people had great desires for power.
The Imperial City was vast, with extremely high city walls, looking majestic. It was said that stories had unfolded here.
However, today, this city was not peaceful.
At the city gates, many people were gathered, their expressions a mix of excitement and fear. This was because, beside them, lay a corpse, its death posture gruesome.
The deceased's head had been severed, a strange smile on its face, and the wound on its neck was terrifyingly gruesome.
"What's going on? Did some monster attack the city?" someone couldn't help but exclaim. This was the Imperial City! How could there be a monster attacking the city?
Even if there were monsters attacking, the citizens in the city should have been able to escape, right? Why was everyone wiped out?
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, an old man suddenly ran out from the city.
"Fellow villagers, please step aside quickly, this is left by the murderer," the old man said, panting.
"What is left by the murderer?" someone in the crowd asked.
"The murderer disguised himself as the deceased to escape after killing!"
"What? The murderer disguised himself as the deceased?" Everyone was shocked; this was simply unbelievable.
A major event had occurred within the Imperial City. As Xia Feng and the others arrived at the city gates, they were stopped. The guarding soldiers warned them, "The Imperial City is under lockdown; no entry, no exit. Consider carefully before entering."
"What happened in the Imperial City?" Xia Feng glanced at the city gate, already smelling the scent of blood.
"It's said that strange occurrences have happened; I'm not clear about the specifics. If you're here for sightseeing, I advise you not to enter the city." The guard was patient and explained further.
Xia Feng smiled and said,
"It's fine. It's good that there are troubles and strange occurrences. We're going in."
