Chapter 483 483: If You'd Handed It Over Earlier, There Wouldn't Have Been Any Trouble
There's an old saying.Once bitten by a snake, one fears well ropes for ten years.
What's more, Zhang Feng isn't just a snake; he's a dragon crossing the river!
Underestimating my own strength previously led me to be trampled like an ant by Zhang Feng, twice.
I already knew the sheer gap in strength between us, especially after Zhang Feng destroyed my Dantian.
Even a mere gesture from Zhang Feng makes my heart race to my throat.
See, as Zhang Feng approaches, Gao Xiao instinctively shifts closer to the edge of the bed.
Wrapping himself tighter in the quilt, he shrinks further into the corner.
"You… you…"
Gao Xiao, trembling so much that his teeth chattered, stammered:
"What do you want… I haven't… haven't offended you…"
Looking at the fearful Gao Xiao,
Qin Huan almost felt like laughing and couldn't resist mocking him.
He bullies the weak and fears the strong.
In front of anyone else, his mouth runs unchecked.
In front of Zhang Feng, he's as timid as a turtle hiding in its shell!
Zhang Feng was already at the bedside of Gao Xiao.
In the corner of the bed, Gao Xiao had nowhere left to retreat.
Finally, Zhang Feng reached out his right hand.
Yet, as he extended his hand,
"Swish!" sound echoed.
Gao Xiao instinctively pulled the quilt over his head as if believing it could protect him?
Shivering inside the quilt.
Qin Huan nearly burst out laughing at this sight.
But Zhang Feng, expressionless, said calmly:
"Give me the item."
The voice was devoid of any emotion.
Only Gao Xiao's shivering figure could be seen under the quilt.
Then, a tense voice came from Gao Xiao under the quilt:
"Wh… what item?"
"Cultivation Origin."
Zhang Feng's reply was extremely calm, without any sense of tone.
Yet the bundle beneath the quilt slightly shuddered.
After this shudder, the inside fell silent.
This silence lasted for more than ten seconds before Gao Xiao nervously and slowly said:
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Hearing this, Zhang Feng finally showed an expression.
A sneering smile.
With such a smile, Zhang Feng slowly said:
"I can give you a choice."
Zhang Feng saw no need to argue with Gao Xiao about whether he was lying.
He was speaking from the perspective of absolute truth and strength.
No matter how Gao Xiao resisted, it was just comical.
Thus, Zhang Feng directly gave him a choice:
"Will you hand over the item yourself?"
"Or shall I search for it myself?"
Upon hearing Zhang Feng's choice,
The bundle wrapping Gao Xiao trembled even more heavily.
The tremor was far more noticeable than before.
Qin Huan could see Gao Xiao was in a state of extreme panic.
Precisely because of this, Qin Huan's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.
This Gao Xiao is obviously very afraid of Zhang Feng.
Yet, holding something Zhang Feng demands, he still dares to feign ignorance?
How important must that item be for him to dare hide it from Zhang Feng?
Despite shaking, Gao Xiao didn't respond.
Zhang Feng's patience was wearing thin.
So he said:
"It seems you've made your choice."
"Then I have no choice but to act myself."
As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking,
His outstretched hand suddenly retracted.
"Rip!!" A crisp sound rang out.
The quilt covering Gao Xiao instantly shredded into pieces.
Along with the quilt's tearing, Gao Xiao's terrified scream resounded:
"Ah—!!"
"No! Don't!!!"
"I realize my mistake, I realize my mistake!"
"I'll give you the item, I'll give you the item!!"
In his scream, there was even a hint of sobbing.
Screaming while trembling all over.
The fear Zhang Feng instilled seemed eternal, eternally etched in his soul.
Trembling, Gao Xiao lifted his pillow.
Cautiously retrieving a tiny teapot and a jade-carved cabbage hidden within.
He held these objects in both hands, trembling, cautiously peeking at Zhang Feng, saying:
"Is this what you meant?"
These small items Zhang Feng had seen before.
When he used the Celestial Eye outside the cell to observe inside.
Gao Xiao was quietly cultivating and enhancing his strength with these objects.
Zhang Feng wasn't worried about deception.
After all, he saw it with his own eyes.
Zhang Feng casually lifted his hand, and the items flew into his grasp.
With the items in hand, Zhang Feng returned to his expressionless state, telling Gao Xiao:
"If you had taken them out earlier, there wouldn't have been a problem."
"Look at you now, you don't even have a quilt left, really."
Listening to Zhang Feng's words, Gao Xiao retreated back into the corner, shivering without lifting his head.
Zhang Feng casually stored the items, turning to Qin Huan:
"Let's go, nothing more here."
Qin Huan, too, had no interest in speaking to Gao Xiao.
Nodding, he turned to leave with Zhang Feng.
"Bang!" The heavy door closed.
As the cell door shut,
Gao Xiao's trembling ceased.
Slowly lifting his head, gazing towards Zhang Feng's departing direction.
His face, his eyes, bore no trace of fear.
Instead, a cold smile played on his lips.
Despite the smile, he said nothing.
He knew Zhang Feng's Divine Power was vast; if he hadn't gone far, even a word might be overheard.
Visible to the eye, Spiritual Qi slowly stirred at his Dantian and arms.
Knowing Zhang Feng had crippled his Dantian, the situation indicated one thing:
This Gao Xiao had greatly benefited from the Cultivation Origin!
Of course, Zhang Feng wasn't aware of this.
He didn't know the Cultivation Origin's exact use or how to use it.
Now having it, he'd return and consult the female ghost about it.
Zhang Feng and Qin Huan walked down the underground corridor, one ahead of the other.
As they walked, Qin Huan suddenly spoke:
"Um… Zhang Feng, I heard you're heading back to B City?"
Hearing the question, Zhang Feng paused, nodded:
"Yes, I've been out long enough; it's time to return."
Finishing, he turned towards the elevator.
But Qin Huan, upon hearing Zhang Feng's answer, showed a look of struggle in his eyes.
The next second.
"Snap!" He grabbed Zhang Feng's hand tightly!
