Chapter 75 - Father
Mission completed, but Xia Feng still decided to stay here for a while. Since he had beaten Ku Chen, there were several things needed to be done. First, new tavern so that this shouting bastard wouldn\'t find him, then new clothes.
Everything has been done quickly, so Xia Feng went to work. Spending time in mine, he had became even more closer with Ahrisha which was one of two best achievements on this mission. The other one was overcoming the trauma of course.
"I have fifteen blue ores."
"Good, I want to buy all of those!"
And he bought a lot with the money coming from the mission. Everything was going so nicely without destiny interrupting! It made Xia Feng think that there is nothing bad going to happen in the Wok City!
Little did he know.... that soon, he will meet his old enemy.

"Ahhh, it\'s so good to have storage ring! Good shit indeed."
Xia Feng patted Ahrisha\'s head, then took her minning clothes to his new finding. It was main reason he had to hide from this Ku Chen as storage rings are quite expensive toys. Nevertheless, it\'s very useful so it was worth risk.
"There is no way this fool is going to say that youngster with whole realm below him had stolen something from him. Heh~~ Good job, today, Ahrisha."
"Mmm... Good job."
Both of them snuggled in lovely hug despite all dirt from the minning, then as she came back to dantian, Xia Feng with swift move of his sleeve, gathered all their equipment and ores. Storage ring is truly good treasure, even more in the hands of experienced cultivator.
"I guess it\'s time to leave."
The more they mined, the lesser ores they have found... Xia Feng already realized that the blue ore is rare and there is no more reason to keep minning. He can always come back here and buy any after some time passess!
And if miners here don\'t find any blue ores... then Xia Feng only choice is to search for ingredients for antidote.
He actually planned to search for simple ingredients in Sous Sect... but then incident with Elder Gu happened... Anyway, Ahrisha was happy with what she already got and everyday was filled with her smiling brightly.
"Alright."
However, before leaving, Xia Feng decided to check on the black panther. He had completed his mission, but it would be bad if it suddenly began attacking once again... Of course it\'s not like there is only one black panther and many would assume that another beast appeared, but Xia Feng decided to check just in case.
The sector was definitely more crowded than on his first time.
After all, Ku Chen had already spread the news about beast\'s disappearance! Moving along the lightened tunnels, Xia Feng saw a lot of smaller tunnels clearly man made by beast as one had to go on four to move properly inside.
Passing next to those small tunnels, Xia Feng suddenly felt the qi reaction... It was newly made tunnel and he could sense other qi than beast\'s! He had made sure to remember black panther\'s qi for future, but now, he clearly felt human\'s qi on the soil.
\'Someone entered this tunnel? This is... familiar... qi...\'
With shock on his face, Xia Feng immediately went on his four, entering the tunnel leading to god knows where! His speed was quite fast as Xia Feng had indeed sensed the familiar qi... That\'s why, it didn\'t take long for him to arrive at the end of the tunnel.
Here, he had found yet another cave, but with beast and human fighting against each other.
The beast was of course black panther, but the human fighting it was quite special. He had puppets! Even one near the tunnel that Xia Feng had used to arrive here. That\'s why, it was inevitable for him to be found out.
"Who?!"
"Tsk."
Kicking the ground, Xia Feng jumped forward distancing himself from the puppet who was protecting the escape route for beast... He knew that this is puppet as its qi was definitely lacking \'life\' and \'soul\'.
But it was puppet definitely made from human\'s body... The mixed flesh with earth was giving eerie and disgusting feeling.. Just how have they done it? And what kind of fethis is this?!
"Take off that puppet\'s hoodie."
"Hah?"
Xia Feng wasn\'t really caring about their fetishes or how disgusting one must be to create such puppets. He had seen a lot in his lives after all. But there was huge anger in his voice as he spoke while not even looking at the man controlling the puppet.
Instead, his eyes were looking straight at the puppet whose body was being used to fight the beast. The robe was hiding facial features, so Xia Feng had no way of confirming his thoughts... but this familiar qi!
"Since when the cultivators of lower stage are so bossy? Brat, if you don\'t want to die, then get the fuck out from here."
The man clearly felt insulted. However, the beast had priority here! That\'s why he had given a \'chance\' for Xia Feng to leave, but not only the young man didn\'t listen to him, he also pounced first!
"Then I will see myself!"
Taking out his sword in a flash, Xia Feng\'s blade was already reaching the hoodie of puppet! With storage ring, he had a lot more freedom! Futhermore, being enraged, the epic soundtrack rang out loudly, as if flowing along with his blood, boosting his whole body!
Boom!
His footsteps were like bombs as whole cave shook with each step!
That\'s why, Xia Feng was already close to the puppet, completely surprising both beast and enemy human.
Erossu Tip Explosion!
And as he swung his sword, Xia Feng used the killing technique on the air! Huge wind appeared next to the puppet, taking the hoodie with itself and likewise, exposing the face...
\'Father...\'
Mr.. Xia is back, but he definitely wasn\'t himself.
