The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

After more than half an hour, Ling Feng finally clarified the situation between him and Daphne.

"So, there's really nothing between Daphne and me!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile, "If I have to say, I only approached her with the intention of using her! Although I held some resentment after my plan was exposed, with time passing, I've long since let it go."

Ningxue lightly bit her lip, having never known that Ling Feng carried so much pain and unbearable memories!

Suddenly she felt extremely guilty; if she hadn't been so persistent, how would Ling Feng have brought up the past again? Even though Ling Feng appeared calm, Ningxue could sense the negative emotions hidden beneath his peaceful exterior.

"I'm sorry!" Ningxue couldn't help but say softly.

Huh? Ling Feng was taken aback: "Why are you apologizing to me?"

"I... I must have stirred up some bad memories for you!" Ningxue said in self-reproach, "I shouldn't have been so willful in wanting to know about you and Daphne!"

"Silly girl!" Seeing Ningxue's nervous and uneasy expression, Ling Feng couldn't help but ruffle her hair and said, "There's nothing about it; it's all in the past! And..."

At this point, Ling Feng took a deep breath and said, "And I hope you can help me clarify things with Daphne. It was my fault at the time, I used her gratitude, so everything that happened afterward was my own doing! I can tell she has been feeling guilty; I hope she can move on like me!"

Ningxue looked at Ling Feng with some surprise, pointing to her own nose: "You want me to clarify things?"

"What else? Did you think I told you this for no reason?" Ling Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Officially speaking, she's your King Arthur, and as a subordinate, it's your duty to ease your superior's worries. Personally, you and Daphne are friends too, right? You wouldn't just watch Daphne wallow in guilt forever, would you?"

Ningxue pouted: "Why do I feel like I'm being set up by you?"

Ling Feng chuckled: "Anyway, I've told you everything, do as you see fit!"

Saying this, Ling Feng pointed in another direction: "I am going to bed now; do you want to stay and serve me to sleep?"

"Hmph, serve you to sleep!" Ningxue jumped up: "I'm going to find Daphne, you can play with mud here yourself!"

Saying this, Ningxue flipped her hair and walked in Daphne's direction.

"No one is more suitable than you!" Ling Feng watched Ningxue's back view and smiled: "Daphne, I hope you can let go of the past and start your life anew. I don't owe you, and you don't owe me. That's just fine!"

Ling Feng didn't know what Ningxue said to Daphne, but by the next day, Daphne's expression looked much better, and there was less guilt and more composure in her eyes when looking at Ling Feng.

The Rhinoceros Dragon emerged from the lake again, not finding Ling Feng but seeing Daphne instead.

"Where's Ling Feng? Where did he go? I still want to hear him tell stories!" The Rhinoceros Dragon said with some dissatisfaction.

Daphne took a deep breath and said: "When it comes to storytelling, I'm also quite skillful, and my stories are guaranteed to be no less interesting than Ling Feng's."

The Rhinoceros Dragon looked at Daphne with curiosity: "You can also tell stories? Don't trick me!"

Daphne smiled slightly: "Listen carefully!"

As a woman of the British Royal Family, Daphne had read extensively from a young age! Naturally, she was not going to tell the mythological stories of the Creation deities but rather the Greek Mythology and Norse Mythology of the Western mythological system!

This kind of color was completely different from Eastern mythology, but it had a strong appeal to the Rhinoceros Dragon as well! Although she had an unpleasant experience yesterday, in the face of stories, the Rhinoceros Dragon generously forgave them.

Thus, Ling Feng and Daphne took turns with tacit understanding, telling different mythological stories from two different systems. Eventually, they even learned from each other, from the Creation deities to Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, from Norse Mythology to A Song of Ice and Fire.

They even extended into the realm of anime, Marvel, Dragon Ball, Havoc in Heaven... turning them into captivating stories in the mouths of Ling Feng and Daphne.

The Rhinoceros Dragon felt that this past month was the happiest month of her many years because she heard so many interesting and thrilling stories!

In her heart, the status of Ling Feng and Daphne had become equal!

Finally, the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit in Heavy Water Lake ripened, and brilliant rainbows appeared over the lake, with countless colorful powers flowing into the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit, and the stamens at the top of the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit gradually withered, emitting a tantalizing fruit fragrance throughout the lake!

"It smells really wonderful!" Daphne inhaled the scent, feeling as if her soul had become stronger, her mind clearer, and she was brimming with energy.

"The Seven-Star Leaf Fruit has matured, but now what?" Daphne glanced at the Rhinoceros Dragon guarding around the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit, a flash of anxiety in her eyes: "If we can't get the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit, have we failed?"

Ling Feng looked at Daphne and said, "Your mind is too caught up in gains and losses! Don't worry, even if you don't get the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit, don't get the Divine Sword, I'll ask my senior sister to help you save the person!"

"Really?" Daphne's face lit up with excitement.

Ling Feng nodded: "Of course, but now... we should wait and see!"

Actually, Ling Feng wasn't sure what the outcome would be, but he realized that he felt incredibly calm now, as if the test concerning the Xuanyuan Sword no longer stirred any waves in his heart.

Swish, swish, swish! There was the sound of water being paddled, and the Rhinoceros Dragon came to them.

With a thud, the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit fell in front of them.

Ling Feng and Daphne looked at the Rhinoceros Dragon with some confusion.

The Rhinoceros Dragon said reluctantly: "I know your goal is the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit. Technically, I shouldn't give it to you! But this past month, you've told me many stories, taught me many things, and made me feel the long-lost joy!"

"So, I've decided to give this Seven-Star Leaf Fruit to you!" A twinge of reluctance flashed in the Rhinoceros Dragon's eyes as she closed them and said: "Take it quickly, or I might change my mind!"

Daphne was overjoyed, not expecting the Rhinoceros Dragon to voluntarily hand over the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit.

But there was only one Seven-Star Leaf Fruit, whereas there were two of them, Ling Feng and Daphne. How should it be divided? To selfishly keep the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit? Daphne couldn't bring herself to do that.

"Ling Feng, it's up to you!" Daphne gritted her teeth and placed the Seven-Star Leaf Fruit in Ling Feng's hands.
