# Chapter 1001: I Like Him
Yang Zilan's foot shifted slightly, blocking Lin Feng's retreat path, and said, "Miss Qiu, this person cannot leave."
"Why?" Qiu Yuexin said coldly.
"There are some unresolved matters between this person and me, so he cannot leave. I hope Miss Qiu will understand." Yang Zilan still maintained a polite demeanor.
"What if I insist on leaving with him?" Qiu Yuexin's voice grew even colder, causing Yang Zilan's smile to gradually fade. Why would Qiu Yuexin protect Lin Feng?
"As far as I know, this person has no relationship with Miss Qiu, does he?" Yang Zilan's tone turned slightly cold.
"I like him. So what?" Qiu Yuexin uttered a cold voice, causing Yang Zilan's expression to freeze completely. Not only Yang Zilan, but everyone else was also stunned.
The always aloof ice beauty actually said in front of them that she liked Lin Feng? This felt unbelievable to them. Too strange, simply impossible. How could Qiu Yuexin casually like someone, and such an ordinary low-level Heavenly Martial cultivator at that?
With Qiu Yuexin's status, countless people pursued her, many of them extremely outstanding, even young masters of noble families. Yet Qiu Yuexin had never been interested in those people, treating them coldly, never giving anyone a good face, always walking alone.
But what they saw today seemed unusual. Qiu Yuexin was traveling with a man, attempting to climb the Heavenly Staircase, and she even personally said she liked this man. What made it even harder for Yang Zilan and Qiu Junluo to accept was that the man Qiu Yuexin claimed to like was Lin Feng.
Even Lin Feng himself was stunned. A simple "I like him," spoken so casually, so calmly. What bothered Lin Feng even more was that this beautiful woman who said she liked him looked exactly like Xinye.
"Qiu Yuexin, you don't have to joke like that just to help him. How could you possibly fancy someone like him?" Yang Ziye said coldly.
"Lin Feng, come here." Qiu Yuexin turned around and called out to Lin Feng.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Feng lifted his steps and walked to Qiu Yuexin's side.
Suddenly, Qiu Yuexin reached out and linked her arm with Lin Feng's, revealing a sweet, brilliant smile on her face, so beautiful it made hearts tremble. This scene left Yang Zilan and the others dumbfounded.
"Someone like him? Yang Ziye, don't think you're nobler than anyone else. Strip away the halo of the Yang bloodline, and what difference is there between you and ordinary people?" Qiu Yuexin coldly glanced at Yang Ziye, causing her expression to stiffen.
"All of you, get out of my way. If you don't, then let's fight." Qiu Yuexin's voice carried a chilling tone as she led Lin Feng up the Heavenly Staircase. A freezing aura emanated from her body, extremely cold.
Yang Zilan's face turned ugly as he glared at Lin Feng, then forced a smile and said, "Today, I'll give Miss Qiu face and spare him this once."
"Spare?" Lin Feng coldly swept his gaze over Yang Zilan. These people still maintained their arrogant posture, so self-righteous.
"Lin Feng, I've lost interest. Let's go back." Qiu Yuexin said coldly, then led Lin Feng as they flashed down the Heavenly Staircase.
Watching Qiu Yuexin and Lin Feng leave hand in hand, Yang Zilan's gaze grew colder and colder, filled with confusion. How could this be? How could Qiu Yuexin fall for Lin Feng?
As they descended the Heavenly Staircase, the pressure continuously decreased, so their speed was extremely fast. Soon, the two reached the bottom of the staircase. Qiu Yuexin had already released Lin Feng's arm and was quickly flashing away alone, not even bothering with Lin Feng behind her.
Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, watching Qiu Yuexin's retreating figure. He too was completely baffled.
"Kid, a beauty delivered right to your door, and you don't dare take her?" Qiongqi had somehow appeared beside Lin Feng and whispered.
"None of your damn business." Lin Feng glared at Qiongqi, then flashed forward, chasing after Qiu Yuexin. He soon caught up to her pace.
"Don't follow me." Qiu Yuexin turned back and glared at Lin Feng, saying coldly, causing Lin Feng's steps to freeze. After a brief pause, he continued chasing after her. Qiu Yuexin didn't refuse him again and went straight to a tavern, ordering a few small dishes.
The light veil was once again draped over her face. Qiu Yuexin remained silent, not saying a word to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng also stayed quiet, sitting quietly across from her without disturbing her.
After what seemed like a long time, Qiu Yuexin finally looked up at Lin Feng and suddenly asked, "You said I look exactly like your wife?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded.
"Then do you think we might have known each other a long time ago?" Qiu Yuexin asked again.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered, then he asked, "Have you always been in the Eight Wastelands?"
"Yes. The Eight Wastelands are vast and boundless. I've never left the Eight Wastelands to go anywhere else. But why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you?"
Qiu Yuexin's words made Lin Feng's expression freeze. A sense of familiarity? Qiu Yuexin actually felt familiar with him, and she looked exactly like Xinye.
"I've never been to the Eight Wastelands before." Lin Feng said. Qiu Yuexin's face showed a faint smile as she shook her head.
"Such a strange thing. Could it be that your wife and I are twin sisters with a telepathic connection?" Qiu Yuexin smiled bitterly. She seemed a bit unsettled inside. The first time she saw Lin Feng, she felt a familiar sensation, which was why she let him accompany her.
Later, Lin Feng had been presumptuous with her. If it had been the old her, she would have killed him already. But although she was angry at the time, it only lasted a moment. She found that she wasn't actually angry. On the contrary, that inexplicable sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger. She even felt a sense of dependence on Lin Feng, which scared her a little. She didn't understand why this was happening to her.
"Come with me. Yang Zilan is ruthless; he won't let you off. By my side, he won't dare touch you." Qiu Yuexin said as she stood up, then left the tavern with Lin Feng. Near the Heavenly Terrace in the center of Heavenly Realm City, they found a courtyard to temporarily stay in. Since there was still some time before the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor would recruit Martial Emperor's Disciples, they naturally needed a place to rest.
Night fell. Qiu Yuexin sat alone on a stone chair in the courtyard, looking up at the moonlight, seemingly lost in thought.
Why? Why did her heart waver after meeting Lin Feng?
At that moment, light footsteps sounded, and then a figure sat down beside her. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"In about ten days, the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor will recruit Martial Emperor's Disciples. You should focus on cultivating during this time. Countless geniuses will participate in this recruitment, including many young masters of noble families. Compared to them, you're at a disadvantage. Becoming a Martial Emperor's Disciple won't be easy."
Qiu Yuexin said softly, her eyes still looking up at the sky, not at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng draped a garment over Qiu Yuexin's shoulders, causing her body to tremble slightly. Then she looked at Lin Feng and smiled, "What, are you treating me like your wife and having improper intentions toward me?"
Lin Feng shook his head. "You're not her. You two are too different, completely different people."
"Then who do you think is more charming, me or your wife?" For some reason, Qiu Yuexin asked Lin Feng this question.
"Completely different people, each with their own charm." Lin Feng replied.
"Is that so?" Qiu Yuexin revealed a brilliant smile on her face, exceptionally moving under the night sky.
"Then if I asked you to marry me, would you?" Qiu Yuexin suddenly asked, causing Lin Feng's eyes to freeze again. Then he smiled and said, "Of course. If you're willing, I'll marry you. But with your status, would you fancy a nobody like me?"
"That's not certain. Maybe, as I said during the day, I've unexpectedly fallen for you." Qiu Yuexin's smile was gentle, so beautiful it made hearts flutter.
"Then I'd be the lucky one." Lin Feng shrugged.
"Hold me." Qiu Yuexin's smile was still so beautiful, her watery eyes looking at Lin Feng, causing his body to stiffen slightly. Hold her?
