Lan Suyao, seeing the desire in Li Fengâs eyes, smiled slightly, as if everything was going according to her plan.
And feeling the soft flesh beneath her fingers which is something she had always regarded as a nuisance, and noticing Li Fengâs gaze fixed shamelessly upon it.
She couldnât help but think inwardly,
âI wonder why most men seem to be so obsessed with this useless pair of flesh?â
She had received all kinds of strange gazes ever since she stepped down from the mountain, and of course, those who dared to disrespect her were already had their little brother or leg broken.
As a peerless talent who had cultivated since childhood, her perspective was fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.
To her, the act of mingling flesh and desire seemed like nothing more than a waste of time and energy.
Even the dual cultivation practiced by the Harmony Sect which allowed two people to join forces and become stronger also seemed inferior to her eye, as she believed only in her own strength.
But still, even though she didnât really care about mortal indulgence and prioritized the Dao, she still didnât want just anybody to take her first time.
At least it have to be someone in her generation who can defeated her.
And she was quite confident that Li Feng would not be able to land even a single blow on her.
In the end, all of this was merely a means to make Li Feng accept the task.
And Li Feng, who heard that this perfect womanâs body was still pure, felt his blood boil slightly.
Even though he didnât really mind such details, the thought of being the first man to engrave himself on this aloof woman body brought him a twisted sense of achievement.
He almost couldnât contain his grin, but outwardly he nodded reluctantly.
"...Okay. Please go easy on me, Senior."
Lan Suyao, who heard his agreement, smiled and created some distance.
Soon, she put one arm behind her back, her manner almost relaxed.
"Well then, Alchemistâ.. no, Junior brother Li, do your best."
Li Feng nodded and got into his stance, with his legs spread apart, while one hand aimed toward her while the other clenched at his waist.
"Oh?"
Lan Suyao showed an interested expression when she saw his stance.
âIsnât that the Earth Dragon Sectâs "Earth" stance?â
Then she finally remembered the information of his as she looked at Li Fengâs muscular body.
âI guess heâs not bad. The Earth stance is quite suitable for body-tempering cultivators.â
She didnât care if he use the other sect technique, nor did the sect.
As long as it wasnât a demonic technique, disciples were free to integrate other sectsâ techniques into their own cultivation.
After all, no sect was perfect.
Just as she was feeling relaxedâ
Suddenlyâ
Li Feng moved.
No warning.
No pause.
His foot slammed into the stone floorâ
thum!
âand the ground trembled as if answering his call.
BOOM!
He shot forward like a boulder launched from a catapult, his fist tearing through the air with a deep, heavy roar.
Lan Suyaoâs eyes widened slightly at his speed.
â...He is fast.â
But she didnât retreat.
She casually raised two slender fingers to meet his approaching fist.
Once her finger met his fist,
Ting...
The sound was impossibly delicate, like water rippling, yet Li Fengâs entire strike was effortlessly diverted sideways.
BOOM!
CRACK!
The redirected force roared past her and smashed into a stone pillar behind her, as spiderweb cracks spreading instantly across its surface.
Lan Suyao smiled faintly.
"As expected of a body-tempering cultivator. Such raw strength, but..."
Li Feng didnât stop.
Twisting his waist, he swung his arm sideways, aiming to catch her off guard.
"...but brute force is too predictable."
Lan Suyao casually leaned back as his fist brushing past the tip of her nose.
Then she stepped forward and struck Li Fengâs chest with her palm.
BAM!
"Ughâ!"
Li Fengâs entire body was blasted backward, his boots carving long grooves through the stone floor before he finally came to a halt several meters away.
He frown and touched his chest.
â...As expected, this woman is strong.â
Just now, he hadnât gone all out as he only using the strength of ten stars, yet he was dealt with easily.
He didnât want to reveal his full strength.
As it would be a bit too frightening, .... and it wasnât worth revealing it just for this spar.
Then he grinned inwardly.
â...It seems Iâll have to play a bit dirty.â
He suddenly staggered.
He appeared to be weak, staggering deliberately and become unsteady while clutching his chest as if barely standing.
But seeing the weak Li Feng, Lan Suyao still looked slightly surprised.
Because that strike should have been enough to render any normal ninth-stage Qi Refinement cultivator or even an early Foundation Establishment cultivator unable to move.
She had planned to teach this junior, who seemed to love indulging in mortal pleasures about the difference in strength and hopefully wake him up.
â...But it seems I underestimated him.â
Still, she smiled casually, raising one hand while the other remained behind her back.
"Whatâs wrong?" she asked lightly. "Is that all youâve got?"
Her gaze turned faintly provocative.
"Donât you want to push this body down? Or can you only stare?"
Hearing her provocation, Li Feng gritted his teeth, his expression turning âangryâ as he prepared to launch another attack.
Lan Suyao, who was smiling, couldnât help but mock him inwardly when she saw his angry expression.
â Heâs too easy to provoke. It seems this junior lacks quite a lot. Looks like today I needââ
Before she could finish her thoughtâ
Li Feng vanished from her line of sight.
"!?"
BOOOM!
Then the entire ground explode as if something had stomped down even more violently than before, as rocks and debris shot up into the air, filling all of her vision.
Even the earth beneath her collapsed, causing her to lose her balance for a brief moment.
Then , in that less than a second of carelessnessâ
Thump.
Lan Suyao suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap tightly around her waist as Li Feng whole body slammed into her, driving them both toward the ground.
BOOOM!
The earth shattered once again as their bodies crashed down, sending dust and debris swirling into the air.
When the dust finally began to settle, two figures could be seen lying atop the cracked ground, one atop the other.
â...What just happened?â
Lan Suyao, who was lying on her back, had a face full of shock.
She wasnât hurt in the slightest,.... yet her heart was shaken.
She slowly lowered her gaze and looked at the large man clinging to her like a child, with his face buried between her large breasts as he hugged her tightly.
And sensing her stare, Li Feng looked up with his cheeks between the soft flesh and grinned sheepishly.
"Hehe... this counts as a blow, right?"
Lan Suyao didnât respond.
She just stared at him, disbelief frozen across her beautiful face.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Feng continued to rub his face against that astonishing softness.
âDamn! So soft! Is this the difference between Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivator ?â
He couldnât help but think so as he enjoyed the sensation, while inhaling her frost-like fragrance deeply that surrounded him.
Finally, Lan Suyao snapped out of her daze when she felt something hard and hot pressing against her leg.
"How long do you plan to stay there?" she said calmly, her tone betraying nothing even as his head remained buried between her cleavage.
Li Feng took one last deep breath before finally getting up, wearing an unapologetic grin.
Though he was clearly reluctant to part from that heavenly softness.
"Hehe, Iâm done, Iâm done. Itâs just... you smell amazing, Senior Sister."
He stood up and reached out his hand toward Lan Suyao.
Seeing it, she accepted his help and grasped his hand, then pulling herself up.
But even as she rose, her gaze never left him.
Slowly... her heart began to beat faster.
Not from anger.
Not from embarrassment.
Butâ
...from her fighting spirit.
Grip...
"Hmm?"
Li Feng suddenly felt the soft hand in his grasp tightened.
He looked up at Lan Suyao and saw her smiling brightly.
...No.
Not bright.
She was smiling with a calm, terrifying intensity.
And after seeing her smile, a thought immediately struck Li Fengâs mind,
â...scary.â

Meanwhile, above,
The festive atmosphere continued as guests mingled and chatted.
A crowd had already formed around Wei Meilin, who held a glass of wine in her hand while conversing with the others, with a calm smile on her face.
One of the mature women, dressed elegantly asked with a hint of jealousy:
"Ah, Madam Wei, your skin looks so smooth. Have you acquired some secret beauty method?"
"Yes, yes. You look even more beautiful than before !" another chimed in.
Wei Meilin laughed softly and replied,
"Hehe, itâs nothing like that. My cultivation has simply improved, thatâs all."
Hearing this, the crowd of beautiful ladies gasped in surprise, staring at her in admiration.
Wei Meilin, feeling their gaze, smiled faintly and sipped her wine gracefully, enjoying the attention.
âHmph~ this is why you should choose a man wisely.â
If she told them about even one of Li Fengâs capabilities, these women would probably swarm him.
... Of course, it wouldnât be them devouring Li Feng but he would devour them instead.
Just then, one of the women leaned closer and whispered to Wei Meilin,
"Madam Wei, have you returned to the Wei family residence recently?"
Wei Meilin tilted her head slightly and curious,
"No, why?"
She hadnât gone back for quite some time as she was extremely busy with the Alchemy Hall, and she also had no desire to meet those greedy elders or that bastard Wei Zhong.
Hearing this, the woman continued in a lower voice
"I see... actually, by coincidence, Iâve seen your brother-in-law going and leaving multiple times a day. And ... he even brought many other men there."
