Qin Feng stared at Ling Xueyan with a strange look in his eyes, wondering to himself: This woman is so eager to get rid of me, could it be that there is some rare treasure hidden here?

Ling Xueyan, who was being stared at by Qin Feng, was initially able to maintain her composure.

But as time passed, Qin Feng remained silent, staring intently at him.

Her previously natural complexion began to change slowly, and a barely perceptible blush crept onto her fair cheeks.

After a long while, Ling Xueyan finally couldn't suppress her anxiety any longer. Seeing that Qin Feng was still staring at her like a wooden statue, showing no sign of saying a word, her anger was instantly ignited.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she coldly snorted, "The conditions I proposed are not excessive at all. Will you agree or not?"

However, Qin Feng remained calm in the face of Ling Xueyan's questioning. He curled his lip, revealing an arrogant and rude expression, and slowly said, "Ling Xueyan, Ling Xueyan, you think you're so clever and quick-witted?"

"Haven't you figured out the current situation yet?"

"In terms of strength, I am far superior to you. To severely injure you, or even take your life, would be an easy task for me!"

After saying that, Qin Feng paused slightly, then continued in a condescending tone: "So, don't even think about bargaining with me. To put it bluntly, with your strength, you don't even have the right to negotiate with me!"

At this moment, Qin Feng noticed that Ling Xueyan's beautiful face was now covered with frost, as if a layer of ice could be scraped off.

But he didn't care at all, and with a contemptuous look, he snorted again and said, "Hmph! I advise you to be smart and not refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences!"

Ling Xueyan's beautiful eyes seemed to be burning with raging fire as she stared directly at Qin Feng without any attempt to hide her anger, which seemed about to burst forth.

She had already felt a deep sense of dread towards Qin Feng when he was only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Saint Emperor realm.

Now, Qin Feng has advanced to the late stage of the Primordial Saint Emperor realm, and his strength is unfathomable, which makes Ling Xueyan's fear even stronger.

And so, Ling Xueyan glared fiercely at Qin Feng. Time passed second by second, but Qin Feng stood firmly like a towering mountain, unmoved by her sharp gaze, and his expression did not change at all.

Seeing this, Ling Xueyan's previously high spirits deflated instantly like a punctured balloon, and she couldn't help but feel powerless and frustrated.

She knew very well that the words she had impulsively uttered had undoubtedly brought her a lot of trouble.

Given this, how could Qin Feng not suspect that there was some hidden secret here?

After all, based on her understanding of Qin Feng, once this guy had any doubts, he would definitely try every means to investigate thoroughly and wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

Thinking of this, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but sigh, "Alas..."

As she let out that sigh, the hostile expression on her face softened slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Xueyan gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision, and said, "Qin Feng, your guess is correct. There is indeed a treasure here that is of great importance to me."

"But this treasure is utterly useless to you!"

"Therefore, I sincerely hope that you will remember the favor I did for you by giving you that divine beast last time, and be merciful and not compete with me for this treasure!"

After saying this, Ling Xueyan looked at Qin Feng with some nervousness, afraid that he would refuse outright.

After glancing at Ling Xueyan casually, Qin Feng turned his gaze to the Thunder Spirit Beast, which was restless and agitated not far away.

His gaze instantly sharpened, as if trying to pierce through the Thunder Spirit Beast's thick fur to see into its very heart.

"Ling Xueyan, let's discuss this matter later!" Qin Feng said without turning his head, his tone firm and unquestionable.

Then, he fixed his gaze on the Thunder Spirit Beast, which was constantly growling and seemed ready to flee at any moment, and continued, "Judging from this beast's appearance, it's probably already itching to escape. Let me deal with it first!"

After speaking, Qin Feng suddenly turned his head, a faint smile on his face, and looked at Ling Xueyan, asking, "There shouldn't be any problem with this, right?"

Faced with Qin Feng's question, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but frown slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Feng for quite a while.

Finally, as if giving up, she sighed softly and replied with a hint of helplessness, "Fine, do as you please!"

In fact, Ling Xueyan knew Qin Feng's personality very well. If she objected now, he might not hesitate to attack her directly.

Moreover, given Qin Feng's current formidable strength, she really wasn't confident she could contend with him.

With this in mind, Ling Xueyan had no choice but to compromise and give in.

Qin Feng was delighted to see that Ling Xueyan had made a concession, but he didn't say anything more.

With a flicker of his body, he instantly appeared before the Thunder Spirit Beast like a ghost.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The once majestic and menacing Thunder Spirit Beast suddenly opened its blood-red maw and uttered clearly audible human language: "Human brat, I am willing to hand over that treasure to you, only asking that you show mercy and spare my life!"

The moment these words reached Qin Feng's ears, he was frozen in place as if under a spell, his face filled with disbelief.

Because he knew very well that the Thunder Spirit Beast in front of him was no ordinary demon beast!

It possesses extremely terrifying strength, and is almost touching the threshold of the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm.

How could such a powerful being so easily bow down and admit defeat before even truly engaging in combat?

Moreover, the tone sounded like a plea?

For a moment, various thoughts flashed through Qin Feng's mind.

Logically speaking, a mythical beast of this level should have innate pride and self-respect!

They would rather die in battle than surrender to the enemy.

But now, this Thunder Spirit Beast has chosen to back down without any backbone?

Just then, the Thunder Spirit Beast spoke again. "Do you think I'm a coward?"

"To be honest, I sensed your unfathomable strength, which filled me with despair, and I dared not even entertain the slightest thought of resistance!"

"That's why I set aside my pride and dignity as a divine beast and begged you for mercy!"
