# Chapter 450: The Most Important Woman
The Sand Wolf Tribe would not be as kind as Nona and let them leave.
Moreover, the person who had come was more powerful than the Sand Wolf Tribe. The second young master of the Sand Wolf Tribe was likely interested not in Nona, but in Lin Feng's wife. If that were the case, and Lin Feng left, the Sand Wolf Tribe would surely annihilate the Sand Wolf Tribe. This situation was clearly one the Sand Wolf Tribe did not wish to see. The lives of several thousand people were in Lin Feng's hands, so naturally, they would not let Lin Feng leave.
Although Lin Feng could understand from the Sand Wolf Tribe's perspective, he was still very displeased. After all, he was Lin Feng, not the Sand Wolf Tribe. He had no connection to the Sand Wolf Tribe, so why should he consider things from their perspective? Lin Feng was not magnanimous enough to be watched and still think of others. If the Sand Wolf Tribe truly wanted him to stay, they could have spoken kindly, not used such methods.
Besides, Lin Feng had never intended to leave in the first place.
"I'll go out and take a look." Lin Feng smiled at Meng Qing. Meng Qing nodded slightly. She too had sensed someone watching them. It was always an uncomfortable feeling—who would want to be stared at while sleeping, resting, or cultivating?
Lin Feng walked out of the room, his figure flickering as he moved toward the outside of the Sand Wolf Tribe, as if intending to leave.
Sure enough, before Lin Feng had taken many steps, two figures flashed before him, saying nothing.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Lin Feng spoke calmly to the two men, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.
"Please return, guest." One of the black-clad men spoke coldly and stiffly, his expression blank.
"I want to go out for a stroll." Lin Feng shook his head.
"Guest, it's better to return. The area around the Sand Wolf Tribe often has demon beasts roaming, and it's not very safe." The other's voice still carried no emotion.
"That's not your concern." Lin Feng smiled, continuing to step forward. The two men's eyes narrowed, and they stepped forward, shouting, "In that case, guest, don't blame us."
"Why would I blame you?" Lin Feng said indifferently. Suddenly, a terrifying, cold pressure erupted from him, landing on the two men. They felt their bodies stiffen, shock and fear appearing on their faces.
"Scram!" Lin Feng stamped his foot on the ground. The rolling, roaring pressure shook their minds, and at the same time, a light palm strike landed on their chests, sending them flying.
"With just you two, you think you can stop me?"
Lin Feng said coldly. The two struggled to their feet, glared at Lin Feng coldly, then turned and fled.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from Lin Feng's nose. He turned around and returned to the room, looking at Meng Qing. "Meng Qing, should we leave now and spend the night outside, or make do here?"
"Let's go outside. It'll be quieter." Meng Qing smiled gently. Lin Feng nodded, stepped forward, and took Meng Qing's hand. These days, Meng Qing no longer refused Lin Feng's touch. She let him lead her out of the room. Then, with a step, their bodies rose into the air, shooting into the distance through the night, quickly disappearing from sight.
Not long after Lin Feng and the others left, the Sand Wolf Tribe's leader sent people to check, only to find the room empty. The leader's face turned ashen with rage.
"Bastard! Where did they escape to?"
The leader roared, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Father, Lin Feng had no connection to our Sand Wolf Tribe anyway. Let him go." Nona spoke from the side.
"Shut up!" The leader glared at her. "What do you know? Now that they're gone, don't even think about marrying you off. You'll not only be a burden to our Sand Wolf Tribe's thousands of people, but your brothers will also die."
Nona's face turned pale, her lips twitching. "Father, if you hadn't sent people to watch them, they wouldn't have left. If they wanted to leave, they wouldn't have come back with me in the first place."
"Slap!"
A crisp sound rang out. The leader's palm struck Nona's face directly, his gaze icy.
"Bitch! Keep an eye on her. Lock her in this room. Tomorrow, when the Sand Wolf Tribe's second young master arrives, send her straight over as an offering."
The leader said coldly, then left some people behind and turned away. Nona's face was pale, tears welling in her eyes. In the tribe, men were valued, and women were always looked down upon. The Sand Wolf Tribe was no different. For the sake of the entire tribe, her father could abandon her without hesitation, even tie her up and give her away.
After leaving, Lin Feng naturally knew nothing of what had happened in the Sand Wolf Tribe. He and Meng Qing arrived at a small mountain range, sitting at the peak. The nighttime moisture made the air feel slightly chilly.
Meng Qing leaned slightly, resting her head on Lin Feng's shoulder. "Lin Feng, do you feel something different about this space?"
"Hmm?" Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. He looked at Meng Qing in surprise. "You feel it too?"
Meng Qing smiled. "Lin Feng, don't forget, the technique I cultivate is a Lesser Yin technique, the complete opposite of fire. Naturally, my sensitivity to fire is very keen."
Lin Feng nodded. Water and fire were two completely opposite elements. Meng Qing cultivated a Lesser Yin technique, so it wasn't strange that she could sense the fire element.
"I've noticed it too. Beneath our feet, deep underground, there seems to be a terrifying flame energy, ready to erupt at any moment."
Lin Feng cultivated the Sun technique, the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture. Although the level of the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture had not yet reached the Sun realm, only the Lesser Sun realm, he could still feel a similar terrifying force boiling underground. This force was very frightening.
"I wonder if Father and Mother felt this when they set foot on this land." Lin Feng murmured, gazing into the distance.
"Don't think too much. Rest a while. Tomorrow, we still need to return to the Sand Wolf Tribe." Meng Qing leaned against Lin Feng's body, smiling.
"Meng Qing, how did you know I would return to the Sand Wolf Tribe?"
"How could I not understand your thoughts? If we leave like this, Nona will surely suffer. Otherwise, why not keep her by your side in the future?"
Meng Qing said softly, making Lin Feng's expression stiffen. "You don't mind me keeping other girls by my side?"
"I don't mind. Really, Lin Feng. If you meet a girl you like, keep her by your side. I truly don't mind, as long as you have me in your heart."
As Meng Qing spoke, she burrowed into Lin Feng's embrace. In her eyes, there was an indescribable sadness. Could she truly not mind at all?
"You're lying." Lin Feng looked into the distance, speaking softly, causing Meng Qing's body to tremble slightly.
"Then I'll try my best not to mind. As long as you're happy, as long as you have me in your heart." Meng Qing said tenderly, her voice full of gentleness. She loved Lin Feng to the point of no return. She was afraid, afraid of losing him. Even though she was peerlessly beautiful, even though she could topple cities and nations, she still couldn't escape that sadness in her heart.
Lin Feng held Meng Qing tighter, pulling her close into his arms. His gaze was equally gentle. Meng Qing was his first woman. She had stayed by his side during his loneliest times, silently protecting him, asking for nothing in return. Whether she was cold or smiling, Lin Feng deeply loved her. To win Meng Qing's enchanting smile, he could slaughter the world. How could he ever lose Meng Qing's place in his heart?
"No matter how many women Lin Feng has, Meng Qing, your place in my heart is irreplaceable. No one can replace you. You will always be in the most important corner."
Lin Feng's gaze remained fixed on the distance, but as he spoke, a faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth. He didn't say he would only have Meng Qing as his woman, because in the imperial palace, there was another woman he couldn't let down, silently waiting for him, silently painting for him, playing the zither for him, giving him her youth and beauty.
Sometimes, Lin Feng would wonder, what had he done to deserve such devotion from these beauties? All he could do was give his all. Even if not for himself, for his beauties and his family, he had to climb the martial path and soar to the heavens.
When Meng Qing heard Lin Feng's words, tears welled up in her eyes again. He said that in his heart, she would always be in the most important corner. That was enough. For her, this was already enough!
PS: There are still a few more plot points in Snow Moon, and then we'll leave Snow Moon. The groundwork is being laid now. Brothers, can anyone guess where Lin Feng is right now?
