The sound of sobbing echoed, drifting within the deep and desolate mountain peak.
Tears trickled down from Xiang Qun's eyes, making him appear sowhat desolate.
Walking along the mountain path, Ye Feng naturally took all this in with a sigh. With a flicker, he appeared in front of Xiang Qun.
Xiang Qun was completely unaware of Ye Feng's arrival, still crying incessantly, his entire being a living embodint of tears.
"n don't easily shed tears. As a man, crying doesn't solve problems; facing them head-on does. What do you think?" Ye Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, Xiang Qun quickly lifted his head to look at Ye Feng, a trace of confusion in his eyes, obviously not understanding when this person appeared.
"Who, who are you?" Xiang Qun swallowed and asked.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is whether you intend to keep crying?" Ye Feng asked, looking down.
"I don't want to—I really don't want to, but they're always bullying . For more than ten years now, I've been bullied by them almost every day. I don't like this life; I'm tired of it, but I have no way to change it." Xiang Qun replied in a rush.
"Then let
ask you: if I said I could give you the chance to beco strong, would you want to beco strong?"
Xiang Qun quickly wiped the tears from his cheeks, surprised: "You, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded. "Just tell , do you want it or not?"
"I do."
Xiang Qun imdiately agreed.
"Very well. Since you are willing, kneel before , believe in , worship , and from now on, I will be your Phoenix God. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Xiang Qun imdiately knelt down with a pious look on his face, sincerely and expectantly.
Although he didn't understand why this newly appeared person wanted him to do such strange things, as long as he could beco strong, he didn't mind at all.
His deepest, most sincere desire was to beco strong.
"Phoenix God, from today onward, I am willing to believe in you, to worship you, to beco your most faithful believer. Please accept
and guide ." Without needing Ye Feng to say much more, Xiang Qun began to chant on his own accord.
After speaking these words, Xiang Qun imdiately felt a change occurring within him.
In an instant, his body beca exceedingly agile, feeling power coursing through his hands, feet, and every part of his body.
These powers enveloped Xiang Qun, invigorating him and erasing any previous trace of disarray or cowardice.
anwhile, Ye Feng, standing before Xiang Qun, noticed strands of the Power of Faith emanating from Xiang Qun.
These powers initially appeared as a faint white, but in the blink of an eye, turned into a milky white hue.
This milky white light was particularly dense.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was overjoyed.
Ye Feng hadn't expected Xiang Qun's Faith to transform so quickly, leaving him speechless at the speed.
"Alright, you can stand up now," Ye Feng said calmly, looking at Xiang Qun still kneeling.
"Yes, Phoenix God." Xiang Qun replied respectfully.
"From now on, continue to search for your herbs. I will protect you from behind. No matter what danger you might encounter, I will shield you," Ye Feng said coolly.
"Thank you, Phoenix God."
Xiang Qun thanked Ye Feng, quickly gathering the herbs on the ground into the dicine Basket before continuing his search for useful herbs.
As soon as he moved, he noticed the newfound agility and speed of his movents.
This astonished Xiang Qun.
He clearly understood that the seemingly impossible change in him was because of that man.
As he wandered, his gratitude towards Ye Feng intensified, as did his Faith in him.
After over an hour, Xiang Qun's dicine Basket was filled with herbs, the most he'd ever collected in his years of gathering.
He knew this was due to the sudden transformation, enabling him to gather so much at once.
At this mont, his gratitude towards Ye Feng was beyond words, and he swore that no matter what Ye Feng required of him, he would do his utmost to fulfill it.
"With this many herbs, it's ti to head back. I wonder how my mother is doing; I hope nothing's happened to her."
Xiang Qun muttered, heading back the way he ca.
As he started to move, he heard voices ahead and instinctively stopped, crouching in a bush to see if it was people or wild dogs approaching.
With the footsteps approaching, Ye Feng clearly saw everything in front of him. Ahead, three figures were approaching.
These three were none other than the trio that had recently harassed him—Xiang Shan and his companions.
"Weird, we're deep in the mountains, yet we haven't seen that kid. Did he already leave?" Xiang Shan scanned the surroundings impatiently.
"Unlikely, Xiang Qun is timid but filial. He wouldn't leave without enough herbs."
"Yes, he should be nearby. If we search carefully, we can unwind and vent our frustrations."
The other two expressed their opinions one by one.
"Hmph, I want to see where that kid is hiding. I'll flay him alive if I find him today," Xiang Shan said coldly.
Having just been scolded by family, Xiang Shan was angry and needed to vent, choosing Xiang Qun, whom he'd often bullied, as his target.
As the trio searched, Xiang Qun erged from ahead.
