"No, just like this. I love it~"
Ye Feng grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's black silk jade feet and gently caressed them in his palms.
The sheer black silk stockings wrapped around her fair, jade-like feet, casting a soft porcelain glow under the light.
As his palms pressed against them, he first felt the cool, smooth silk, incredibly sleek to the touch, followed by the warmth of her skin.
He gently kneaded her heels, which felt like polished jade—soft, smooth, and delicate.
The black silk Ye Feng had chosen was naturally the finest, dyed from premium mulberry silk.
The texture was naturally impeccable.
With one hand, Ye Feng leisurely played with Zhu Zhuqing's jade feet, while the other still had room to serve her food and pour her wine, appearing utterly at ease.
"Mmm... I knew you had ulterior motives when you picked these stockings for me..." Zhu Zhuqing pouted slightly, muttering under her breath.
Back in bed earlier, Ye Feng had already been fondling her feet, and she had realized then that he seemed particularly fond of her...
Now, it was clear she was right.
"Who wouldn't love something so beautiful~"
Ye Feng chuckled mischievously.
"Excuses... You're just a foot fetishist..." Zhu Zhuqing seemed to sense something, her face flushing as she lightly pinched Ye Feng.
But she didn't refuse him.
After all, if she helped Ye Feng once now, the pressure on her later would ease up a bit.
Still, this was her first time doing something like this, and she was a bit clumsy—she just hoped Ye Feng wouldn't mind...
Fortunately, he seemed very satisfied.
...
Half an hour later.
The two had mostly finished eating, and Zhu Zhuqing felt her feet were sore.
"Mmm... My feet are so tired..." She looked at Ye Feng with a hint of grievance, her tone carrying a trace of pleading.
Ye Feng was too strong—she had to use all her strength, and it was even more exhausting than training.
"Alright, alright~"
Ye Feng shrugged, cupping Zhu Zhuqing's delicate feet in his hands.
After so long, the stockings on her soles had worn through.
But perhaps due to the exertion, they felt warm and even softer to the touch.
A moment later...
"Finally done..."
Zhu Zhuqing shot Ye Feng a light glare before withdrawing her feet, peeling off the soiled black silk and tossing it into the trash.
But before she could move, Ye Feng had already Blinked to her side, one hand tilting her head toward him while the other...
"Didn't you just...?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
"Not enough~"
Ye Feng murmured before pressing closer.
...
...
Another half hour passed.
The two left the grilled fish shop one after the other.
Zhu Zhuqing held Ye Feng's hand, her face glowing—clearly, she had been thoroughly pampered.
When Ye Feng was gentle, she felt wonderful, even a little indulgent.
"Ye Feng, how long can you stay this time?" Zhu Zhuqing gripped his hand tightly, her voice tinged with reluctance.
She knew he was busy. Today had been one of her happiest days, and she wasn't sure if she'd get to be with him like this again.
"About a month or so."
Ye Feng seemed to guess her thoughts and patted the back of her hand reassuringly. "Don't worry. No matter how busy I am, I'll make time for you."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart, though she quickly waved her hands. "N-no, it's fine! You focus on your work. It's okay if you only see me when you're free..."
With just that one sentence from Ye Feng, she was already deeply content.
She knew the gap between her and Ye Feng was like that between a god and a mortal—she could never catch up to him in this lifetime, let alone be worthy of him.
As long as she held a place in Ye Feng's heart, that was enough for her.
"What a silly little fool~" Ye Feng chuckled helplessly.
Though he was a playboy, he wasn't heartless.
For every woman in his life, he genuinely cared and cherished them, never growing tired of the old for the new, nor neglecting any of them.
Hand in hand, the two returned to the sect, where they coincidentally ran into Ning Rongrong and A Yin, who had also just come back from outside.
A Yin instinctively hid behind Ning Rongrong upon seeing Ye Feng, clearly afraid he would scold her for sneaking out to play.
Ning Rongrong, however, was unfazed. Instead, she actively approached Zhu Zhuqing and teased, "Zhuqing, why are you back so soon? I thought you two would stay out overnight~"
"What overnight… We just went out for a meal. Why would we stay out?"
Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head slightly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear—a clear sign of guilt.
"Really? Then why did your stockings disappear after dinner?!"
As an experienced tease, Ning Rongrong instantly conjured up countless scenarios in her mind.
Her hand instinctively reached under Zhu Zhuqing's skirt.
"Ah! Rongrong, what are you doing?!" Zhu Zhuqing yelped, her face flushing crimson as she clutched her skirt and swatted Ning Rongrong's wandering hand away.
"Your panties are still on… That doesn't make sense…" Ning Rongrong muttered, even leaning in as if to sniff for any peculiar scents.
"Rongrong, if you keep this up, I'm seriously going to get mad…!!" Zhu Zhuqing stomped her foot angrily.
Though she hadn't hidden her relationship with Ye Feng from Ning Rongrong, being harassed like this in public still made her uncomfortable.
Especially since Ye Feng had a certain preference—she felt it was her duty to keep that secret for him and definitely couldn't let Ning Rongrong find out.
Just as Ye Feng was about to speak up to ease the tension, a petite figure suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"Brother Ye Feng, next time you go out, can you take A Yin with you?" A Yin tugged at his sleeve, looking up at him with pitiful eyes.
Though she had fun going out with Ning Rongrong, she still preferred being with Ye Feng.
The reason she had taken human form was to spend more time with him—any other benefits of her transformation meant nothing to her.
"Alright, alright, I'll definitely take you next time~"
Ye Feng quickly agreed.
Mainly because this was his first proper date with Zhu Zhuqing—bringing A Yin along wouldn't have been appropriate.
But next time, he could take her too.
"Ye Feng, if there's nothing else… I'll head back first," Zhu Zhuqing murmured before quickly turning to leave.
Ning Rongrong hurried after her, clearly still curious about where Zhu Zhuqing's stockings had gone—and even more curious about what exactly she and Ye Feng had been up to today…
Ye Feng watched them go, shaking his head with a wry smile.
Then, out of habit, he ruffled A Yin's hair. "Come on, let's head back too. I'll help you improve properly."
A Yin's cultivation progressed fastest when she was by his side. It's just that most of his recent activities hadn't been suitable to bring her along—otherwise, she wouldn't still be stuck at level 18.
Now that things had finally settled down, Ye Feng planned to use his [Child of Nature] Talent to properly enhance A Yin's abilities.
"Mhm~"
Upon hearing this, A Yin immediately nodded repeatedly, her eyes brimming with joy.
It wasn't because she could rapidly increase her strength, but because she could get close to Ye Feng.
There was an intoxicating scent about him that she found utterly captivating. She truly, deeply wished she could stay by Ye Feng's side every single day.
