My ex-girlfriend thought I was poor, so I made 100 million by betting on stones.

Yang Feng closed his eyes.

He carefully sensed this power, a powerful force he had never felt before.

Although Sima Mountain has probably not fully absorbed the power of the dragon vein yet.

However, the power he had already gained was enough to make Yang Feng unable to muster any will to resist.

A while passed in this manner.

The footsteps at the door were getting closer.

Then, Yang Feng opened his eyes.

Sure enough, Sima Shan stood before them.

"I didn't expect you to have time to see me."

Yang Feng spoke with a slightly teasing tone.

He maintained the same mindset even at this time.

Sima Shan glanced at him and pulled up a chair for himself.

Sima Shan looked even older than before.

Having regained his youthful appearance, he now possessed a unique composure characteristic of middle-aged men.

This is perhaps the change that the Chinese dragon vein brought to him.

Sima Shan sat down beside him.

He didn't have the condescending air of a victor; instead, he acted like a friend visiting a patient.

"My body can't withstand continuously absorbing the Chinese dragon vein, so there needs to be a break, and now is the break."

Sima Shan did not hide anything.

Perhaps in his eyes, he no longer needs to hide anything from anyone.

He can reveal all his thoughts nakedly, because no one can stop him anymore.

Yang Feng looked at him and said, "But your power is already enough to rule this world."

"Yes, you should be able to see or feel my power."

Sima Shan did not deny it, but said, "However, this is far from enough when dealing with chaos."

"So why did you keep me here?"

Yang Feng asked.

Sima Shan looked at Yang Feng and said, "You should know very well that I have always admired you very much."

"Then I would be honored."

Even now, I still admire you as always.

Sima Shan looked at Yang Feng and said, "Although I now possess the power of the Chinese Dragon Vein, I am still willing to talk to you again."

"Your time is very precious, isn't it?"

"Yes, but I'm willing to spend more time on you."

Sima Shan looked at Yang Feng carefully.

Yang Feng looked at him and said, "You want me to be like them, your lackey?"

No, you are different from them.

Sima Shan shook his head and said, "You have your own ideals. Although our ideals may conflict, in the end you will understand that everything proves I am right. You will not be my subordinate then; you can become my collaborator, or even my successor."

"Successor? That's laughable. After you obtained the Chinese dragon vein, your lifespan should be endless."

"No, it's still limited, and I will die before you. That's what Guiguzi said."

Sima Shan looked at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng didn't answer, but said, "I'd like to know, what if I refuse?"

"No, you don't need to be in such a hurry to give me an answer."

Sima Shan shook his head and said, "You need more time to recover, and I also need time to absorb the power of the Chinese dragon vein. So you can think about it carefully during this time and see how this world changes."

"It's pointless; I won't change my mind because of these changes."

"Really? That's such a shame."

Sima Shan shook his head and said, "We've had this kind of conversation many times before, haven't we?"

"Yes."

"Neither of us could convince the other, but judging from the current outcome, I have won."

"That's how it looks."

"You're willing to die, but have you thought about your friends?"

"for example?"

“My family, and Murong Wan and the others.”

"I think you can't find them now, right?"

Yang Feng asked.

Sima Shan squinted and said, "I'll find it sooner or later."

"Then we should wait until the time is right."

Yang Feng didn't seem to care.

Sima Shan looked at Yang Feng and shook his head, saying, "Let's leave it at that. There are probably five more days. I hope you can change your mind in these last few days."

Your hopes will be dashed.

I hope not.

"You still haven't answered my question."

Yang Feng looked at Sima Shan.

Sima Shan stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "If you refuse again, I will have to do something I don't want to do, because your existence, even if you are far less powerful than me, is a huge threat."

"You really think highly of me."

“What I value has never been just your strength, and that hasn’t changed to this day. My men are no match for you.”

Sima Shan left behind his last words.

He walked to the door.

At that moment, only the nurse who was preparing to change the dressing was at the door.

She was extremely nervous, especially when she saw Sima Shan in front of her.

She knew that this was the true leader of the Mountain and River Organization.

From his expression, the nurse could tell that Sima Shan had definitely not convinced Yang Feng.

"Take good care of him."

Sima Shan left behind only this sentence before his figure walked further and further away, disappearing from sight.

It took the young nurse a long time to come to her senses before she went back to her room.

Yang Feng was still looking out the window.

He was no longer able to use his spiritual power.

All the meridians were nearly destroyed because of his final attempt.

However, his eyesight was still extraordinary, so he could see very far.

The nurse walked in and saw Yang Feng staring blankly. She didn't dare to disturb him and just waited by his side.

The nurse could only see Yang Feng's profile as he lay on the hospital bed.

His angular profile, half bathed in sunlight and half shrouded in shadow, further highlighted Yang Feng's current predicament.

He seemed to be choosing between these two options.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

It was already noon.

When Yang Feng regained consciousness, he turned around and found the nurse still watching him.

"You're here to change my dressing, right?"

Yang Feng suddenly spoke.

The nurse suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stood up, saying, "I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't interrupt you..."

"Don't be so nervous."

Yang Feng smiled and said, "My body is fine, I don't need to change my dressings all the time."

"This...this probably won't work. They require me to change your dressing at fixed times..."

The nurse kept her head down.

There was a hint of fear on her face.

Only by living here did she understand what kind of environment she was in.

If I make even the slightest mistake, I might die here.

Yang Feng sighed and said, "Then what medicine should I change to?"

"You have many wounds on your legs and waist, and also on your arms."

"It's written like a mummy."

Yang Feng laughed.

The nurse became even more curious when she saw that he could still laugh at this moment.

However, the nurse dared not delay at this moment.

After carefully changing his dressing and cleaning his arm, she said, "If you need anything else, please remember to call me."

"and many more."

Yang Feng suddenly called out to her.
