Fantasy: I Can Randomly Refresh My Realm

Hypocrisy stickXiao Feng stared at the bushes and said in a deep voice, ”Who is there? Come out, hiding and sneaking around is not a good habit.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the bushes.

A moment later, a middle-aged man, accompanied by his entire family, cautiously walked out from the bushes.

This man was Liu Heguang; his family looked exhausted and ragged, clearly having gone through a difficult escape.

As Liu Heguang walked out of the bushes, he tightly protected his wife and daughter behind him.

Their faces still held expressions of fear and wariness, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings, as if ready to flee again at any moment.

When Liu Heguang saw Xiao Feng, he mustered his courage and walked towards him.

”Thanks to benefactor’s rescue, our family was able to reclaim our lives!”

Liu Heguang’s voice choked up, his eyes slightly red. Recalling their previous dangerous situation, infinite gratitude welled up in his heart.

”If benefactor hadn’t acted, we would probably have long ago...”

Liu Heguang couldn’t continue speaking. He turned and looked at his wife and daughter behind him, his eyes filled with relief and lingering fear.

Liu Fangyi was also teary-eyed, tightly holding her daughter.

Xiao Feng smiled indifferently and waved his hand, ”It was just a small effort, no need to worry about it.”

Liu Heguang quickly took out a cloth bag from his chest, holding it with both hands as he offered it to Xiao Feng, ”Benefactor, this is all our worldly possessions. Although it’s not much, please be sure to accept it.”

Xiao Feng glanced at the not-so-bulky cloth bag, and his heart stirred.

He knew what this meant to this family.

”No need,” Xiao Feng gently pushed Liu Heguang’s hand away, ”You still have to live; keep this money for your use.”

Liu Heguang was stunned; he hadn’t expected Xiao Feng to refuse.

”But benefactor...”

Xiao Feng shook his head, a hint of gentleness flashing in his eyes, ”I said it before, it was just a small effort. Living well is the best way to repay me.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Heguang’s tears streamed out.

He turned to look at his wife and daughter; the three of them exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with the light of hope.

As Xiao Feng watched this heartwarming scene, a smile unconsciously curved up at the corner of his mouth.

Next, both parties acted separately.

Xiao Feng looked at the heavy ice coffin in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

This thing was really too bulky; moving it around everywhere was very troublesome and it was easy to stumble.

A thought stirred in his mind, and he decided to put the ice coffin into his space.

Xiao Feng flipped his hand, and a jade spatial ring appeared in his palm.

He extended his Divine Sense into the ring and immediately felt the vast space within.

Xiao Feng gently waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped the ice coffin, slowly shrinking it.

In the blink of an eye, the ice coffin transformed into a Flowing Light, disappearing into the spatial ring.

”Finally, it’s much easier,” Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief and clapped his hands.

Just then, a rumbling sound came from his stomach, and only then did Xiao Feng realize he hadn’t eaten for a long time.

He looked around and quickly found a noodle shop not far away, with a sign ”Old Wang’s Noodles” hanging at the entrance.

Xiao Feng led Liu Qisheng into the noodle shop. The shop was dimly lit, with yellowed menus posted on the walls, and a few wooden tables and chairs scattered around.

An elderly owner was busy behind the cutting board, which was filled with various seasonings and side dishes.

The aroma of noodle soup filled the air, stimulating Xiao Feng’s appetite.

The two found a seat against the wall and sat down.

Xiao Feng browsed the menu while cautiously observing his surroundings.

His gaze lingered in every corner for a moment, carefully observing if there was anything suspicious.

”Brother Liu,” Xiao Feng lowered his voice and said to Liu Qisheng, who was eating noodles, ”I always feel like someone is secretly watching us; be more vigilant.”

Liu Qisheng was startled upon hearing this. He put down his chopsticks and replied softly, ”Brother Xiao, rest assured, I will be extra careful.”

Xiao Feng nodded and continued, ”After we finish eating the noodles later, you walk ahead of me, and I’ll cover the rear. If you find anything unusual, signal me by coughing.”

”Understood,” Liu Qisheng replied, then lowered his head and focused on eating his noodles again.

However, not long after, Liu Qisheng suddenly felt an inexplicable unease.

He raised his head and scanned his surroundings, seeing several diners eating noodles with their heads down, seemingly normal.

But for some unknown reason, he always felt a faint gaze secretly observing him.

Liu Qisheng’s heart tightened, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

He forced himself to remain calm, pretending to be unaffected as he continued eating his noodles, while secretly observing every movement around him.

The feeling of being watched made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, wanting only to leave this place quickly.

Just then, a strange sound caught Xiao Feng’s attention.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw an ancient wooden staff moving towards them in a peculiar way.

The staff was not rolling, but twisting its body like a snake, approaching bit by bit.

”What the hell is this thing?” Xiao Feng cursed inwardly, subconsciously assuming a defensive posture.

Just at this moment, a mysterious and unpredictable voice sounded in Xiao Feng’s ear, ”Be careful, that is the Rotten Wood Staff.”

Xiao Feng suddenly turned his head, but only saw a blurry black figure.

The voice continued, ”I am the Poison Emperor, you are in danger now, you must leave here immediately.”

Xiao Feng’s heart tightened, and he turned to Liu Qisheng, saying in a low voice, ”Brother Liu, the situation has changed. You quickly take Liu Heguang and his family and leave first, I’ll follow shortly.”

Liu Qisheng nodded in response, ”Brother Xiao, take care, we’ll meet outside the city.” After saying this, he quickly got up and left.

The Poison Emperor’s voice sounded again, ”Come with me, I’ll take you to the Qingxin Sect. It’s temporarily safe there.”

Xiao Feng didn’t think much and immediately followed the black figure. They went through several small alleys, turned a few corners, and finally arrived in front of a secluded bamboo forest.

Just then, the Rotten Wood Staff suddenly spoke in a human voice, ”Master, I finally found you! Long time no see, I’ve missed you so much!”

The voice sounded both joyful and wronged, causing Xiao Feng to be startled. He turned to look at the wooden staff and saw it trembling continuously.

”Uh... did you mistake me for someone else?” Xiao Feng said somewhat awkwardly.

”No way! I felt your aura, you are my Master!” the Rotten Wood Staff insisted.

The Poison Emperor’s voice sounded again, ”Ignore it, quickly enter the bamboo forest!”

Xiao Feng no longer hesitated and quickly walked into the bamboo forest. Passing through layers of bamboo leaves, he arrived in front of an ancient courtyard.

As soon as he stepped through the courtyard gate, a strong smell of decay assailed him. Xiao Feng looked closely and immediately gasped in cold air.

Several shriveled corpses lay scattered in the courtyard; the flesh had already rotted away, leaving only the skeletons still maintaining a human shape.

”Holy crap! This... what’s going on?” Xiao Feng retreated a few steps in horror.

Just at this moment, the Rotten Wood Staff suddenly emerged from all directions, surrounding Xiao Feng completely.
