Could this be one of those clichés in novels where the protagonist encounters a treasure, has it stolen, then trains frantically to reclaim it and ultimately defeats the boss?
The more Xiao Huo Huo thought about it, the more Luo Feng seed like a villain from a story.
But at this stage, he dared not provoke a conflict with Luo Feng.
With a bitter smile, Xiao Huo Huo said, "Such treasures naturally belong to those with the capability. Since you've already obtained Ice Fire, I won't interfere. I'm more worried about whether you'll turn on ."
Hearing this, Luo Feng chuckled. "I'm not so bloodthirsty killer. In three days in the ocean world, I've only killed a little over a hundred people. But they all provoked first. I've never killed strangers unprovoked. Honestly, I'm doing you a favor—the energy contained within Ice Fire is too imnse for you to handle. Let take it instead; my abilities are stronger, so I can manage it."
Xiao Huo Huo nearly jumped up in anger upon hearing this, ready to fight Luo Feng on the spot.
You think I can't handle it, but you can? How would you know if I don't even get to try?
But his strength was lacking, so he swallowed his rage and forced an ingratiating smile. "Fine, you can have Ice Fire. But... could you spare so roots, stems, or leaves from that Iceberg Snow Lotus you obtained? It'd be a sha to return empty-handed."
Instead of answering imdiately, Luo Feng's gaze lingered on the ring on Xiao Huo Huo's hand.
Noticing Luo Feng's stare, Xiao Huo Huo's expression darkened. He shielded his Fla Ring defensively and warned, "This ring is off-limits. It's my lifeline. If you dare covet it, we'll have no choice but to fight."
Laughing, Luo Feng said, "Hahaha, look how scared you are! I was just montarily curious. I have no interest in your ring. But if you want parts of the Iceberg Snow Lotus, you'll need to offer sothing in exchange, right? If what you bring is valuable enough, I might even give you an entire Iceberg Snow Lotus."
Truthfully, Luo Feng was intrigued by Xiao Huo Huo's circumstances. Was his experience truly similar to that of a protagonist? If he could extract fla-controlling skills or techniques from him, that would be perfect.
Xiao Huo Huo was stunned. He couldn't believe Luo Feng was willing to trade an entire Iceberg Snow Lotus. Suspicious, he hesitated. "You're really offering a whole Iceberg Snow Lotus in exchange?"
While the Iceberg Snow Lotus wasn't as impactful as Ice Fire, since Ice Fire was out of reach, obtaining a single Iceberg Snow Lotus would still be quite a boon.
Smiling, Luo Feng retrieved a Legendary Thousand-Year Iceberg Snow Lotus from his space ring.
He had a full 10,000 of these—parting with one was nothing.
"Would I go back on my word? It's just one Iceberg Snow Lotus."
I've long collected many of these Iceberg Snow Lotuses, and my space ring is almost full.
As long as what you offer is valuable enough, you don't need to worry about the Iceberg Snow Lotus."
Xiao Huo Huo was staring intently at the Iceberg Snow Lotus in Luo Feng's hand when he heard these words. His brows furrowed—Luo Feng actually claid to have many Iceberg Snow Lotuses?
If this wasn't boasting, what was it?
Just as he was silently complaining in his mind, the next scene nearly made him jump in fright.
"This..."
Xiao Huo Huo was left speechless when he saw Luo Feng produce a handful of Iceberg Snow Lotuses.
The precious herb he had struggled so hard to obtain was casually pulled out in large quantities by Luo Feng. Conservatively estimating, Luo Feng held at least ten Iceberg Snow Lotuses in his hand.
Could this be the true power of the Mythical Shura?
Realizing this, Xiao Huo Huo wasted no more ti and quickly said, "eting Shura today has truly opened my eyes. What I wouldn't even dare to dream of, you've made witness firsthand.
I happen to have sothing good here—sothing you'll definitely love. Today, I'll make a decision that goes against my ancestors. No, I'll make a decision that goes against my master—I'll sell you the Heavenly Fla Art.
Is this sincerity enough?
I wonder how many Iceberg Snow Lotuses you're willing to offer in exchange?"
"WHAT? There really is an old grandpa?"
Luo Feng's face was filled with genuine surprise upon hearing Xiao Huo Huo's words. It seed this young man had quite the luck.
Seeing Luo Feng's reaction, Xiao Huo Huo smiled faintly and said, "No need to say more. Those who understand, understand. Those who don't, won't no matter what. You get it.
Just tell how many Iceberg Snow Lotuses this Heavenly Fla Art is worth."
Xiao Huo Huo retrieved a book from his space ring, inscribed with three large characters: Heavenly Fla Art.
Luo Feng's gaze sharpened at the sight—this was truly a significant gain.
Pairing the Heavenly Fla Art with Ice Fire would elevate his strength by leaps and bounds.
After a mont's thought, Luo Feng raised a single finger.
Xiao Huo Huo frowned slightly at the gesture. "Ten seems too few, doesn't it? It should be at least thirty Iceberg Snow Lotuses. This is my master's unique technique."
"Haha, you're asking for too much. Just one Iceberg Snow Lotus—take it or leave it.
This is a Legendary thousand-year-old Iceberg Snow Lotus. Just because I have many doesn't an you can demand exorbitantly."
Though Luo Feng possessed ten thousand Iceberg Snow Lotuses, he knew their value well. A single one could resolve the Snow Country's crisis—its worth spoke for itself.
Xiao Huo Huo's expression darkened at Luo Feng's words. He hadn't expected Luo Feng to offer only one Iceberg Snow Lotus for the trade.
This was utterly unreasonable.
Just as he was about to refuse, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Disciple, trade with him."
"But Master, this is—"
"This person's strength is imnse. Even if I possessed your body, I might not defeat him.
I sense the aura of many powerful weapons on him—even a trace of a Divine Artifact."
Not only that, but the turtle outside just now was no Common turtle.
That was the Black Tortoise, one of the four Divine Beasts, with formidable strength.
I've told you all this for a reason.
If it decides to kill you, you will undoubtedly die here today.
Though my Heavenly Fla Art is extrely precious, trading it away
could save your life and even earn an Iceberg Snow Lotus. Either way, it's no loss."
"Understood, Master."
