Senior sister, stop working and go home for dinner.

Chapter 166 Bells and Stones

Good books and good stories accompany you every day.

Her words shocked everyone present!

Feng Wenzheng, Jiang Yan, and the others looked at the woman in black with astonishment and disbelief in their eyes.

This unfathomably powerful demon, who could injure so many with a wave of his hand... was actually an imposter?!

When the woman in black was exposed, she did not panic. She simply said calmly, "Where did this little brat come from, spouting nonsense?"

"Hehe, you know perfectly well whether it's nonsense or not." The little girl swung her feet, making a soft tinkling sound. She stretched out her slender finger and tapped her temple. Her dark eyes were full of cunning. "I know exactly where all the great demons of the Crimson Spirit Sect are located, but I've never heard of any demon lord awakening."

The woman in black remained silent. The next second, she turned into fragments and vanished. Just as suddenly she arrived, she left just as suddenly.

The moment the woman in black vanished into fragments, everyone in the martial arts arena was stunned.

The woman impersonating the Crimson Spirit Cult retreated so easily.

The little girl sitting on the giant's shoulders pouted, seemingly dissatisfied: "Running so fast, it's no fun." Her big, dark eyes then swept over the still-shaken Feng and Jiang families, as well as Chen Anran and his group who were on high alert, and the innocent smile on her face returned.

"Big brother, we meet again!"

Chen Anran naturally wouldn't forget this eye-catching duo. He and his second senior sister, Wei Qingyi, had met them briefly at the Guangzhou night market when a little girl asked him where he bought cotton candy.

Chen Anran never expected that they would meet again at this time, and that the little girl would appear as a disciple of the evil cult, the Crimson Spirit Cult.

He subtly pulled Feng Xiaolu further behind him, then calmly looked at the smiling little girl sitting on the giant's shoulders: "Yes, we meet again."

"I didn't expect big brother to remember me, that's so nice!" The little girl clapped her hands happily, the silver bells on her ankles making a clear and melodious sound, completely out of place with the still tense atmosphere of the training ground. "The cotton candy last time was delicious, it's a pity I haven't been able to find that taste since."

She changed the subject, her big, dark eyes sweeping over the messy training ground and the injured, bewildered members of the Feng and Jiang families before finally settling on Chen Anran. Her tone was innocent and curious: "It looks like there was just a fight here? Big brother, what game were you playing? It looks so intense."

Feng Wenzheng suppressed the turmoil within him and the storm raging in his heart, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice, "May I ask who you two are? What brings you to my Feng family?"

The little girl seemed to only then notice Feng Wenzheng, tilting her head to look him over before grinning and saying, "It's not really instruction. We were just passing by and thought this place looked interesting, so we came in to take a look." She swung her little feet, "And we even helped you chase away that imposter, you're welcome!"

With the help of his clansmen, Elder Jiangyan struggled to his feet, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace onto his plump face: "Thank you... thank you both for your help... in rescuing me. May I ask your names? My Jiang family and the Feng family will certainly repay you handsomely!"

"What should we call him..." The little girl rested her index finger on her chin, pretending to think, then smiled broadly, "You can call me 'Bell,' and as for this big guy, just call him 'Stone'!"

This was clearly a name made up on the spot, which made Feng Wenzheng and Jiang Yan's eyes twitch, but they dared not question it in the slightest.

The two individuals exuded an unpredictable and eerie aura, especially the giant "Stone," who remained silent as a mountain yet emanated a chilling, savage presence, clearly not benevolent. They claimed to be disciples of the Crimson Spirit Sect, yet refused to reveal their true identities, which ironically relieved the Feng and Jiang families. Although they were a cultivation family, they considered themselves righteous, and associating with a legendary demonic sect like the Crimson Spirit Sect was certainly not a good thing. Their unwillingness to develop a close relationship was exactly what they wanted.

"So...it turns out to be Senior Bell and Senior Stone." Feng Wenzheng readily agreed, adopting an extremely humble posture. "Thank you both for rescuing us today. The Feng family will forever remember this kindness. If you don't mind, please rest at my humble abode for a while, so that I can fulfill my duty as a host and prepare a small gift to express my gratitude."

"No need to rest!" Lingdang swung her little feet, her tone light and cheerful. "It looks messy here, not fun." Her gaze turned to Chen Anran again, her big, dark eyes blinking. "Big brother, you seem to have become even more interesting. That golden, glittering thing just now looked a lot like a Bodhisattva in a temple, but... it felt a little different."

Chen Anran was wary, but showed no sign of it on his face, simply replying calmly, "These are just some minor tricks; I hope Miss Lingdang will forgive my poor performance."

"Hehe, being too modest isn't cute," Bell said with a grin, then patted the giant's head. "Stone, let's go. It looks like there's nothing fun here. That imposter ran too fast; it's really boring."

The giant, named Stone, gave a muffled grunt and turned to leave. With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly, displaying astonishing power.

"Oh, right." Lingdang seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to look at Chen Anran, her smile sweet but with a hint of meaning, "Big brother, we'll see each other again soon."

Before he finished speaking, the giant stone foot exerted force, and his massive body shot into the sky like a cannonball. The bells on his shoulders emitted a series of clear, silvery laughs. The two of them quickly disappeared beyond the horizon of the Cloud Deep Valley barrier, arriving suddenly and leaving just as quickly.

On the training ground, only the survivors remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.

The oppressive silence was broken by a few painful groans. Only then did Feng Wenyuan, Jiang Yan, and the other injured dare to relax, and the pain from their injuries became immediately clear.

"Quickly! Treat the wounded!" Feng Wenzheng immediately gave the order. Only then did the Feng family disciples snap out of their daze and hurriedly get to work, some feeding the wounded medicine and others using their internal energy to heal themselves.

The chaos in the training ground gradually subsided, and the injured were quickly taken away for treatment. At this moment, everyone's gaze, whether open or hidden, was focused on Chen Anran, who had withdrawn his golden light and regained his composure.

Chen Anran felt the burning gazes and understood.

The strength he revealed in his moment of panic has completely changed his standing in the eyes of these cultivation families.

The first to act was Elder Jiangyan. Supported by his clansmen, he struggled to reach Chen Anran, pushed away his supporters, and bowed deeply to Chen Anran.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I really have to thank you today! If it weren't for your heroic act just now, blocking that demoness, we would all be in serious trouble!"
