Hearing Enchanting's words, Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, looking at Enchanting and saying, "Are you dreaming? And sleepwalking too. You happened to dream of me and the situation you just experienced, then shouted and woke up, thinking it was real!"
"That's not it!" Enchanting stamped her foot anxiously, unsure how to describe what had just happened. After a moment, she added, "Just now, your body had a layer of purple protective film around it, and it was very hot. I've heard that it's a kind of evil power."
Seeing Enchanting's anxious expression, Lingfeng realized she wasn't joking. Then he thought about it; the Falling Leaf Technique was indeed a path of Demon Cultivation. Could it be that the evil protective film Enchanting mentioned was released because he practiced the Falling Leaf Technique? Lingfeng fell silent for a moment, his expression serious as he asked Enchanting to clarify what had just happened.
Enchanting recounted everything from when she entered the room to when the purple protective film disappeared, then waited for Lingfeng's explanation.
In fact, Azure Vine hadn't placed any protective film on Lingfeng when he left; it was just something Lingfeng had come up with on the spot to deceive Enchanting. Although he appeared relaxed on the outside, he was starting to have doubts inside. After Enchanting clarified the situation, Lingfeng had already guessed that it was the effect of the Falling Leaf Technique. Moreover, since Enchanting clearly understood the "evil purple protective layer," it was known that those practicing Demon Cultivation emitted a purple aura. For this reason, practitioners regarded the purple aura emitted from a person's body as an evil color.
After hearing Lingfeng's words, Enchanting remained skeptical. However, over the past three years, she had never seen Lingfeng practicing any improper Spell. Looking at Lingfeng's indifferent expression made her feel he wasn't lying!
"But you mustn't tell anyone about this!" Before leaving, Lingfeng reminded her seriously.
Enchanting didn't understand and asked, "Why can't I tell anyone?"
"Because this protective layer isn't some profound Spell. When Azure Vine Brother cast this Spell on me initially, it was to prevent others from harming me. But if those who wish to harm me find out about it, they will take precautions and try to remove my protective film, allowing them to harm me!" Lingfeng explained without showing any signs of nervousness.
Upon hearing that someone wanted to harm Lingfeng, how could Enchanting agree? She nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After eating, Lingfeng took Enchanting to Wood Peak. He made an excuse to meet with Mu Feng Peak Master Mu Qiu, then led her to the residence of Monkey Head.
"How are you packing?" The dormitory of Monkey Head was empty, so there was no need for caution in conversation.
Sitting on the bed, Monkey Head pulled out a small bundle from under it and said, "There's not much here—just some clothes that need washing and those fruits you gave me."
Lingfeng nodded and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, stuffing them into Monkey Head's bundle with a smile. "I don't have much money here; this is all I have! Although it's not much, it's my heartfelt intention. Take it; if you dare refuse me, I won't recognize you as my brother!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Enchanting chimed in, then took out a genuine Silk Pouch from her belongings. It was clearly a valuable item, and she stuffed it into Monkey Head's bag. "I don't need this money, so you can take it. It will help with your travel expenses."
Lingfeng looked astonished, not expecting Enchanting to have such valuable things. He quickly asked, "How much money is in there?"
Enchanting moved a few fingers and thought for a moment. "It's probably around three or four taels of gold."
"Really?" Lingfeng couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise and asked, "What exactly is your background? How come you have so much money?"
Enchanting glanced at Lingfeng and then huffed in annoyance, complaining, "After being with you for three years, you still don't know anything about me!"
Lingfeng had never thought much about it and had never asked about Enchanting's background.
Monkey Head was overwhelmed with gratitude, unsure if it was due to the emotion or because he had never seen so much money before. After being comforted by Lingfeng and Enchanting for a while, he finally stammered, "I heard that Enchanting is the eldest sister of Chen Family Village. The Chen Family Village Master runs various businesses and trades, capturing all kinds of spirit beasts and monsters. Moreover, they are incredibly wealthy and lead the entire Chen Family Village!"
Enchanting placed her hands on her hips and huffed again, filled with jealousy. "Listen, listen! Even Monkey Head knows me better than you do!"
Lingfeng ignored Enchanting and said, "Chen Family Village sounds like just a village name. Could it really be significant?"
Monkey Head replied, "You only know part of it. Chen Family Village is just a name; the real Chen Family Village is equivalent to a large city. Many talented individuals prefer to align themselves with Master Chen to find their place to shine!"
Lingfeng was secretly amazed; he hadn't expected Enchanting to come from such a wealthy background. However, he pretended not to care so that others wouldn't think he was interested in her wealth.
After chatting for a while longer, the three began discussing how to discreetly send Monkey Head away.
Lingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Enchanting, you stay with Lili at Water Peak tonight. I'll take Monkey Head away later."
Enchanting initially wanted to join them but Lingfeng added, "My Earth Escape Technique can only carry one person; I can't take both of you!" Enchanting had no choice but to give up on the idea.
Then there was another half moment of silence.
After a while, Enchanting couldn't hold back and asked Monkey Head, "You left, didn't you leave something meaningful for Lili?"
Monkey Head shook his head with a bitter smile, self-deprecatingly saying, "I come from a poor background and don't have anything valuable to leave behind."
"You don't understand!" Enchanting glanced at Lingfeng and chuckled, "We girls like gifts from our loved ones, not because they are valuable. The key is the sentiment, preferably something romantic."
Monkey Head didn't understand and could only watch with wide eyes and listen intently.
Enchanting continued, "I think I can teach you a way to make a gift using your own skills!"
"My skills?" Monkey Head still didn't get it. "I've only learned the lower-level Spells from Wood Peak, and I'm not very good at them. What can I give her with these useless skills?"
"Then have you learned the carving technique from Wood Peak?" Enchanting asked.
Monkey Head nodded, "I learned it, but I'm not very skilled. I can carve some simple objects."
Lingfeng chimed in, "That doesn't matter. The quality of Spells from Five Peaks depends on one's own spiritual power. Your Spell may not be refined because you lack spiritual power; I can transfer some to you. But what does Enchanting want Monkey Head to make?"
Enchanting turned to Monkey Head and said, "I want you to make a wooden carving that symbolizes both of you."
Monkey Head understood and smiled, "That's simple." He then cast the Wood Control Spell and effortlessly cut a piece of black wood into two cubes the size of a baby's palm. Then he turned to Lingfeng and said, "Please transfer some spiritual power to me!"
Lingfeng nodded, took Monkey Head's hands in his own, placing his hands over Monkey Head's. He then used his internal spiritual power to transfer it into Monkey Head's body through their hands.
Next, Monkey Head cast the Wood Control Spell again, and the two cubes began to shed shavings as if by magic, gradually forming a concave shape in the middle. Inside appeared a quirky monkey, alongside a vividly lifelike beauty. The two wooden carvings were identical, down to the last detail.
Lingfeng couldn't help but be amazed, not expecting Monkey Head to think of this.
Enchanting also applauded, and when Monkey Head finished the carving, she grabbed it and examined it closely. The wooden sculpture, after Monkey Head's work, was smooth and polished, featuring a monkey and a beautiful woman holding hands as they walked.
The monkey had its right hand on its brow, seemingly gazing into the distance, while the beautiful woman was smiling joyfully, her heart blooming with happiness.
"Impressive, impressive. If Monkey Head had Wisdom Root, it could store a large amount of True Qi and probably become a sculptor!" Enchanting couldn't help but exclaim.
This kind of romantic object was something Lingfeng could never come up with. However, with Monkey Head's example, Lingfeng surprisingly used the Wood Manipulation technique and effortlessly completed an Item. The texture and pattern were indistinguishable from Monkey Head's work; it depicted a gentle breeze lifting the woman's flowing skirt. The woman appeared shy and bashful, gently pressing down on her skirt that was about to fly away.
When Enchanting saw Lingfeng's Item, her eyes lit up. But upon seeing the design, she suddenly became both amused and annoyed, saying, "I really don't know what goes on in your head." Still, she tucked Lingfeng's gift into her sleeve.
Lingfeng chuckled and nudged Monkey Head, saying, "This was inspired by Monkey Head!" Then she picked up her carving and pointed at the woman in it, saying, "This beauty is you, and the gentle breeze beside her is me. The meaning is that I want to revolve around you every day!" She then glanced at Monkey Head, hoping he would help her charm Enchanting a bit.
Monkey Head understood but blurted out something that made everyone want to spit blood: "Yes, yes, yes! Lingfeng revolving around you means she wants to lift your skirt and take a peek!!!"
"You!" Enchanting's eyes flared with anger as she shot a glare at Lingfeng before turning to leave.
Lingfeng inwardly lamented and smacked Monkey Head on the shoulder, exclaiming, "You idiot! Why are you so dull when you need to be clever? It's one thing for you to have such thoughts about Lili; why drag me down in front of Enchanting?"
