Chapter 99: Angry White Tiger
Ye Feng pretended to be confused and asked, "What inconvenience could there be?"
"Of course..."
Zhu Zhuqing was about to answer when she noticed Ye Feng's playful expression. She glared at him with resentment and asked, "Boss Ye, are you going out or not?"
"Alright. Call me when you're done." Ye Feng stopped teasing her, walked out of the room, and closed the door.
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing's voice came from inside.
"Boss Ye, you can come in now."
Ye Feng opened the door and walked in. Zhu Zhuqing had already changed into the usual tight-fitting clothes she liked to wear.
"Let's get started."
"It's just… I'm worried about losing control again."
"Don't worry, I'm here. If you lose control, I'll knock you out immediately."
"No, I'm worried that if I lose control, my clothes will get torn again."
"Well…"
Ye Feng was momentarily stunned, staring at Zhu Zhuqing before saying, "You're not in the right mindset. With that kind of hesitation, how can you stay rational while using Bloodthirsty Frenzy?"
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent for a moment, then looked at Ye Feng and asked, "What should I do?"
"You need to use your Bloodthirsty Hurricane spirit bone ability as naturally as blinking. Don't carry any psychological burden. If you lack confidence, just keep telling yourself, 'I can do it. I can do it.' Encourage yourself and build your confidence."
I can do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.
Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and kept repeating it. After about ten seconds, she opened her eyes, and a red aura appeared on her right leg. The energy spread quickly, enveloping her entire body.
As soon as the Bloodthirsty Frenzy state activated, her tight clothes once again tore apart due to her rapidly expanding muscles, revealing large portions of her fair skin.
Her eyes turned bloodshot, and a deep, violent aura surged within her.
"Boss Ye, hurry… Knock me out. I… I can't hold on much longer!"
"Zhuqing, I believe in you. Tell me, who are you?"
"I… I am Zhu Zhuqing!"
"Say it again—who are you?"
"I… am Zhu Zhuqing!"
"Louder!"
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
"Good. Because your name is Zhu Zhuqing, I know you can do it. Believe in yourself."
Ye Feng kept encouraging her, while keeping one hand behind his back, ready to knock her out at any moment if she lost control. Even though Zhu Zhuqing was only at the Spirit Ancestor level, with the Bloodthirsty Hurricane's boost, her speed and attack power were enough to rival an average Spirit King.
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. I can do it."
She muttered to herself, reinforcing her conviction.
"Don't reject it. No matter what, it's a part of you now."
Zhu Zhuqing took deep breaths, calming herself down and beginning to accept the power of the Bloodthirsty Hurricane. The bloodlust and battle instinct it triggered no longer felt foreign or overwhelming.
Gradually, the bloodshot in her eyes deepened into a stable crimson, and her aura stabilized.
"Hah…"
Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, knowing that she had finally gained control over the spirit bone's effects.
"Boss Ye, thank you. I feel like my speed, defense, and strength have all doubled. My overall abilities have increased by 100%, but I can't use my spirit ring abilities while in this state."
"Get down." Ye Feng said.
"Huh?"
"I said, get down—like a cat."
"Why?"
"Just do it."
Ye Feng smirked teasingly.
Although skeptical, Zhu Zhuqing followed his instructions, lowering herself onto the ground like a feline.
Ye Feng walked around her, observing closely. From her firm curves, a black cat tail extended from her perky backside. Along with the tail, she now had a pair of sharp cat ears.
"Well, I was right," Ye Feng murmured, nodding in satisfaction. "You've got this wild beauty about you now. Makes a man want to… tame you."
"Wild beauty? Tame?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in shock. Realizing what he meant, her face flushed deep red. She stood up abruptly, glaring at Ye Feng.
"Boss Ye, you made me do that just to say this?"
"Of course. What else? You thought it was some kind of training exercise?" Ye Feng grinned, rubbing his nose.
Zhu Zhuqing: "…"
She had really thought he was giving her some sort of cultivation lesson, but it turned out he was just messing with her.
"Boss Ye, I want to spar with you." Her sharp eyes flashed.
Even though Ye Feng's teasing had left her flustered, her competitive spirit ignited.
"Let's do it tomorrow. It's late now."
"Tonight."
"No, tomorrow."
Whoosh!
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't taking no for an answer. Even Dai Mubai had never dared to say such bold things to her, and now Ye Feng had completely shattered her composure. With a sharp swipe of her claws, she lunged at him.
Ye Feng dodged easily, his body shifting like a ghost.
Inside the small room, they exchanged blows at lightning speed, their figures flashing back and forth in a blur.
After some time, Zhu Zhuqing was drenched in sweat, her breathing ragged. She had only just broken into the Spirit Ancestor stage, and despite the power boost from the spirit bone, she couldn't keep up with Ye Feng for long. If it weren't for the spirit bone, she wouldn't have even lasted a few exchanges.
"Keep going?" Ye Feng smirked. "If we keep at it, you might need to think about where you're sleeping tonight."
Zhu Zhuqing froze, realizing what he meant. Her ears turned bright red, and she bit her lip in frustration. Without another word, she turned and stormed out of his room.
As she left, Ye Feng lay back on his bed, lost in thought.
"I didn't expect the spirit bone to be this powerful… It actually allowed Zhu Zhuqing, a Spirit Ancestor, to trade blows with a Spirit King. No wonder spirit masters all crave spirit bones. During that spar, she almost forced me to use my external spirit bone."
Despite his victory, Ye Feng couldn't help but admire the benefits of possessing a spirit bone.
"Ye Feng, come fight me!"
Suddenly, Dai Mubai's voice echoed from outside the door.
