Lin Feng's yawn was forcefully swallowed back, nearly making him choke on the spot.
What the hell?!
His pupils shrank into needlepoints, danger flaring subconsciously beneath his half-drooped eyelids.
Outside the shop door—Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Spirit Kite Douluo, Tuoba Xi, Devil Bear Douluo…
One familiar face after another lined up like immovable terracotta warriors.
Their gazes, their stances—
completely identical to devout believers awaiting a divine decree.
Lin Feng's brain blue-screened for a solid three seconds.
Then, in the next moment—
"System! Get your dog system ass out here!!"
"What the hell is going on?! When did this whole field of leeks arrive?!"
The System's voice chimed in leisurely, dripping with joy.
"Ding. Little-fry Host, please mind your tone."
"This System detected that this group of devout leeks has been standing outside your door for two hours and thirteen minutes."
Two hours?!
Lin Feng almost suffered cardiac arrest.
"Then why didn't you wake me up?!"
The System answered calmly, even disdainfully:
"Why should I?"
"You are the Host."
"They are a group of leeks."
"Is the Host's sleep not more valuable than the waiting time of a field of leeks?"
Lin Feng was actually… silenced.
By this insane but perfectly airtight logic.
While he and the System were arguing internally, his faint movements—still tinged with newly-woken laziness—were instantly captured by Ghost Douluo, who was maintaining maximum vigilance outside the door.
Ghost Douluo's figure trembled beneath his black robe!
He immediately shot a grave, silent warning to the people behind him.
The Senior… was awakening from his supreme cultivation!
In that instant—
All the Titled Douluo held their breath!
Their spines bent further, postures even lower, fanatic reverence flooding their expressions.
They were waiting…
to witness the awakening of a god.
Lin Feng swallowed his embarrassment.
To be caught oversleeping by a lineup of top-tier leeks—
what kind of social death was this?!
If they learned the truth, wouldn't his master-expert persona collapse instantly?
Absolutely not.
This wasn't his fault.
Obviously, this world was at fault.
In a flash, Lin Feng formulated a perfect, god-level explanation.
He slowly opened his eyes—
Not a hint of grogginess.
No sign of being surprised or confused.
His gaze was deep, ancient, indifferent—
as if he had just returned from roaming through countless epochs, observing the rise and fall of ages.
He merely let his eyes fall faintly on the group outside the door.
"You all…"
His voice paused briefly, carrying a trace of helplessness.
"…came a bit early."
BOOM!!!
A casual line.
Yet to them, it struck like thunder splitting open the heavens!
Came early?
Did that mean—
they had disturbed his journey through time?
His comprehension of heavenly truth?
His silent transcendence of worldly boundaries?!
A deadly sin!
A monumental sin!
Ghost Douluo's ancient, unmoving heart twitched violently.
His expression filled instantly with overwhelming terror and guilt.
He bowed even lower, voice trembling uncontrollably.
"Senior, forgive us!"
"It was our ignorance! We disturbed your heavenly cultivation while you soared through the void!"
"We… deserve death!"
Behind him, the group knelt as one.
Their faces pale, cold sweat drenching their backs.
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the swollen Pig-Head student all pressed their heads firmly to the floor, trembling like prey before a divine beast.
A single glance from the Senior might erase them from existence!
Inside, Lin Feng was already screaming.
What the hell?!
I was just trying to look cool! Why are you reacting like this?!
Void-soaring?
I literally overslept!!!
The System sneered.
"Tsk. Look at you—little-fry Host acting like he's never seen leeks before."
"This System said it already."
"This group of leeks has the highest level of self-cultivation."
"You don't need to harvest them."
"They sharpen the sickle themselves, lie flat willingly, and wait to be cut."
"They can even fertilize themselves proactively. This System is very satisfied."
Lin Feng twitched internally.
Fine.
Insulting as it was…
the dog system wasn't wrong.
He composed himself, maintaining the ancient, indifferent demeanor.
He raised a hand lightly.
"Enough."
"Ignorance is not a sin."
The sentence fell like divine pardon.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Relief washed over Ghost Douluo like a crashing wave.
Everyone else exhaled shakily, though they still maintained their humble posture.
"Come in."
"Today's business begins now."
At those words, Ghost Douluo dragged Ghost Leopard Douluo forward by the collar—
BANG!
He slammed the level-94 Titled Douluo to the ground, forcing him to kneel before Lin Feng's lazy figure.
His resolve was unquestionable—
Before the Senior, you have no right to stand.
"Senior," Ghost Douluo spoke with sacrificial reverence,
"This is Ghost Leopard."
"Yesterday, he was ignorant—blind to the miracle you displayed—
and committed a grave offense."
He turned slightly, cold gaze cutting into the trembling Ghost Leopard.
"But today, he has awakened to his mistake and regrets deeply."
"Junior humbly requests Senior to grant him… a chance to atone."
The air froze.
Everyone held their breath.
They all knew—
a chance at Feng Ran Pavilion was not a mere transaction.
It was divine favor.
A ritual.
And only those acknowledged by the Senior could participate.
(Lin Feng: ???)
Ghost Leopard reacted swiftly, understanding the lifeline thrown at him.
He slammed his head to the ground.
"Senior, I was wrong!"
"I beg you—give me a chance!"
"I am willing to pay any price!"
