Chapter 304: Calmness toward one own death.

The soft golden light filtered through the leaves, casting a warm glow over her.

The air was rich... so rich that even a single breath felt nourishing.

"...So this is heaven." Shui Ruo murmured in a daze.

Meanwhile, Li Feng snapped out of his drooling at the thought of getting rich when he heard her voice.

He looked at her strangely, then he suddenly grinned.

"Haa..." he let out a soft sigh.

Hearing this, Shui Ruo tilted her head and glanced over, only to see Li Feng sitting beside her as his gaze seem to fixed on the distant horizon.

His expression was calm... almost seem to filled with peace and quiet acceptance.

But then her eyes widened slightly as she noticed his condition.

His missing arm... the wounds across his body.

Even now, faint traces of that strange, destructive energy still lingered around him.

Her lips parted but no words came out.

For a moment... she simply stared.

Then, slowly, her brows furrowed as she realized her own body was in a similar state and she couldn’t help but let out a disbelieving sigh.

"Heaven is truly heartless...even in death, it still leaves us this injured. How stingy."

She grumbled as she lay back down.

"I didn’t expect us to die together, Li Feng."

She smiled faintly, her eyes drifting up to the swaying golden leaves above.

Li Feng didn’t reply.

He simply continued staring ahead, his eyes fixed on a small branch twisted into the shape of a... peach.

’Interesting...’

Meanwhile, Shui Ruo thought he was simply mourning in silence.

Her gaze softened slightly.

Even in death... he’s still thinking about something.

For some reason, that thought made her chest feel a little tight.

"...You don’t have to act strong anymore," she said quietly, her voice unusually gentle. "We’re already dead."

A brief pause.

"You can complain a little, you know."

Li Feng blinked.

Then slowly... he turned to look at her.

His expression was still calm.

"...Dead?" he repeated.

Shui Ruo nodded lightly, her eyes still fixed on the golden canopy above.

"Mmm. Otherwise, how could a place like this exist?"

Her lips curved faintly.

"And with how injured we are... there’s no way we survived that."

Li Feng stared at her for a long moment.

Then—

"...Pfft."

A strange sound escaped him as he couldn’t hold it anymore

Shui Ruo frowned slightly and turned her head.

"What?"

Li Feng suddenly covered his face with his remaining hand, his shoulders beginning to shake.

"...Hah... hahaha..."

The laughter started low.

Then it grew, unrestrained and loud.

"Hahahaha!"

Shui Ruo’s brows knit together.

For a moment, she just stared at him as if he had gone insane.

"...Did dying break your mind?" she asked, worry creeping into her voice.

Li Feng wiped the corner of his eye, still chuckling.

"Ah... sorry, sorry..." he said between breaths. "I didn’t expect... you’d come to that conclusion."

Shui Ruo narrowed her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Li Feng leaned back slightly, his gaze drifting upward toward the golden leaves.

"Who told you... this is heaven?"

At his words, a brief silence fell.

The wind rustled softly through the branches, golden light flickering across their faces.

And Shui Ruo’s expression stiffened just a little.

"...Isn’t it?"

Li Feng’s lips curled into a slow, teasing grin.

"If this is heaven..." he said lazily, "then it’s a pretty cheap one."

He lifted his chin slightly and gesturing around.

"There no celestial maidens, no divine palaces... just a tree and two half-dead people lying around."

Shui Ruo blink when she heard this but then she hesitated slightly

"...Then what is this place?"

Li Feng didn’t reply immediately.

To be honest, he wasn’t sure whether he should reveal the existence of the Divine Weapon.

But there was no way he could just let Shui Ruo die.

So, with a quiet sigh, he decided to trust her.

"It’s a... treasure of mine," he said slowly. "And we’re currently inside it."

Shui Ruo blinked for a moment, processing his words, then her eyes widened.

"...This is your internal part of your treasure?"

Her gaze swept across the surroundings again. the endless golden canopy, the dense spiritual energy in the air, the serene, almost sacred atmosphere.

But instead of joy, a trace of hesitation appeared on her face as she looked back at Li Feng.

"...So... are you going to kill me?"

Li Feng blinked at her sudden, outrageous question.

"What?? Why would I want to kill you?"

Shui Ruo gulped slightly.

"...This seems like a very powerful treasure... and now that I know of its existence so...."

Li Feng let out a short laugh.

"Haha, there’s no need to worry," he said lightly. "I’m not that kind of person."

He waved his remaining hand dismissively, as if her concern was something trivial.

But Shui Ruo didn’t relax.

Because in the cultivation world... things could be cruel, especially when it came to one’s own opportunities.

Li Feng noticed her lingering doubt and shook his head.

"I trust someone like you wouldn’t go around telling others about this," he said casually before adding.

"After all, you’re the reliable big sister, Shui Ruo."

Shui Ruo blinked at his sudden praise and sincere tone, then couldn’t help but smile a little smugly.

"Hehe, you’ve got a good eye, Li Feng," she said proudly. "Don’t worry. As long as this big sister is alive, I’ll never tell anyone about this place!"

Even while lying down, she puffed up her chest slightly, clearly pleased with herself.

Li Feng’s gaze drifted for a brief moment, instinctively following the movement of that tantalizing rise and fall of her ample large breasts as they swayed with each shallow breath.

With his experienced eye, Li Feng could tell that this was likely the largest pair he had ever seen in this secret realm.... and quite possibly second only to his master’s peerless, godly assets which stood unrivaled in heaven and earth.

Then he stopped himself.

The more he thought about it, the more his heart stirred with restless desire.

With a small exhale, he pulled his focus back, forcing his thoughts into line through sheer willpower.

Li Feng had already noticed that this woman seemed to enjoy being called "big sister," so he indulged her.

"...So, big sis, we actually have an urgent matter to deal with."

"Hmm~ what is it?"

Shui Ruo’s smile grew even wider at the way he addressed her, clearly pleased despite her condition.

Li Feng let out a small sigh before continuing.

"You should’ve noticed that your injuries are quite serious. Right now, they’re only being suppressed by my pill... and by the special nature of this place."

Shui Ruo’s smile slowly faded at his words, her gaze drifting up toward the golden canopy.

"I know."

"You know? Then why do I feel like you don’t realize how severe it is?"

Li Feng frowned slightly, but Shui Ruo simply let out a soft laugh.

"Haha, It’s because I know I’m going to die... that there’s no need for me to worry."

Li Feng looked at her, a bit surprised.

"Don’t you fear death at all, big sis?"

Shui Ruo shook her head gently.

"Of course I do. I don’t want to die," she said calmly.

Her hand shifted slightly against the ground, fingers brushing against the leaf.

"But just like you said... I know my body better than anyone. There’s nothing left that can save it."

Then she turned to him and gave a soft, calm and beautiful smile.

"But still... thank you for trying, and... for giving me the chance to admire this beautiful scenery before my body finally gives out."

Li Feng fell silent at her words.

The wind rustled through the branches above, scattering flickers of gold across their faces.

After a moment, he spoke again, his voice lower this time.

"...Don’t you hate anyone for this?"

He knew... if Shui Ruo hadn’t stepped in and hadn’t protected Yue Lan, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.

In truth, it wasn’t just Yue Lan.

She had also intervened to protect Jian Ruyi and Liu Yanyue many times.

Again and again... she had chosen to stand in front of others.

Shui Ruo, however, simply shook her head.

"I don’t hate anyone."

There was no hesitation in her voice, only quiet certainty.

"In fact... I’m glad."

Her eyes softened, as a faint warmth surfacing within those blue beautiful eye.

"I’m glad that I managed to save more of my friends."

She paused briefly, then continued in a near whisper,

"That’s why I learned my cultivation technique in the first place... to protect others."

Her words seem to carried the weight of her past.

With that, both of them fell into silence.

Li Feng couldn’t help but look at the beautiful woman before him again.

She clearly feared death... yet still accepted it with quiet composure.

And even if given another chance, she would likely choose the same path,the same decision and...the same outcome.

Such a contradictory soul... cowardly, yet undeniably heroic and righteous.

Such a heart earned a rare hint of admiration from him because unlike her, he only acted when he was certain of a way out.

So to see someone step toward death while still fearing it...

’Idiot.’

He couldn’t help but think so.

...But at the same time, he couldn’t bring himself to look down on her.

If anything, he found himself admiring her even more... even finding her strangely beautiful.

After a moment of silence, Li Feng seemed to finally make up his mind.

Letting out a soft sigh, he looked at Shui Ruo seriously.

"Actually, Big Sis... I might have a way to cure you."

"Oh? Really?"

Shui Ruo’s eyes widened in surprise, as a bright smile blooming on her face.

After all, if given a chance to live, even she wouldn’t refuse it.

Li Feng paused briefly before deciding to tell her the truth without hiding anything..

"It involves dual cultivation... using a technique of mine—"

"Then what are you waiting for?! Do it!"

Shui Ruo suddenly burst out, cutting him off mid-sentence.

"Oh heavens, you have no idea how much pain I’ve been in! I haven’t felt this miserable since my master forbade me from drinking... But yay, I can live!"

Her demeanor changed completely.

The calm, wise "big sister" image was gone... replaced by something entirely different.

Her calm, composed demeanor shattered in an instant.

Now, her eyes sparkled with urgency and anticipation.

"Quick! Hurry up! Why are you still sitting there?!" she pressed, forcing herself to sit up straighter despite the pain. "If it can save me, then what are we waiting for?!"

Li Feng: "..."

He stared at her with a deadpan expression.

"...Big Sis," he said slowly, "what happened to that calm acceptance of death just now?"

Shui Ruo coughed lightly, her expression turning slightly awkward for a brief moment.

Then she waved her hand with righteous confidence.

"That was before I had hope! Now that I can live, of course I’ll choose to live!"

She looked at him as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Li Feng thought about it for a moment... and it made sense.

But the next moment, his heart nearly stopped at her following words.

"And... since it’s you, Li Feng I don’t mind giving you my primordial yin..." Shui Ruo titled her head to the side and whispered softly with a slightly flushed face.

"...!"

Li Feng’s heart surged at the sight.

He swallowed hard before murmured.

"...Then let’s begin."

He didn’t want to waste another moment.

Right now, he needed to restore this alluring yet somewhat childlike woman to her peak... before he can let loose.

Seeing Li Feng crawl below her, Shui Ruo despite her earlier easy acceptance felt a wave of nervousness inside.

But then she realized a problem.

"By the way, Li Feng... I don’t know any dual cultivation technique," she said softly.

Li Feng, however, simply began spreading her legs apart and replied without pausing his movements.

"Don’t worry about that. My dual cultivation technique is rather special as it only requires me to know it... so you can just lie back and relax."

Li Feng’s heart was already pounding loudly in his chest as he stared at those flawlessly pale and plump thighs.

"I-Is that so? I see... Ah, what nice weather we’re having," Shui Ruo mumbled, her blue eyes darting around nervously under the intense gaze directed at her most private area.

Soon, Li Feng hooked his fingers into her undergarment and slid it down, tossing it aside.

Once again, he spread her soft, pale legs wide into an half M-shape with his one hand.

At such shameful posture, Shui Ruo’s face had already flushed deep red as she glanced around anxiously.

’T-this is just... my mortal body! There’s nothing to be ashamed of!’ she desperately told herself inwardly, trying to think of other things to distract herself.

Meanwhile, Li Feng’s eyes were locked on that small yet slightly plump slit, as his breathing growing rougher.

Despite how voluptuous Shui Ruo’s body was, her entrance looked surprisingly small... even cute.

He could already tell it would feel incredibly pleasant... and very, very tight.

Slowly, his fingers slowly traced down along her plump flesh of her thighs until they reached her entrance.

With one thumbs, he gently spread that plump slit apart, revealing an enticing pink interior that looked untouched and unexplored,

Li Feng swallowed hard at the sight of that delicate folds that still remain perfectly shut tightly together.

Shui Ruo, feeling her entrance being spread open like this, immediately covered her face in shame.

"L-Li Feng, is this neccessa—Hah~!!"

Suddenly, her back arched sharply as she felt... a warm tongue slip inside?
