The door clicked shut behind him.
Moonlight filtered faintly through the windows, casting soft silhouettes across the chamber. The scent of incense lingered in the air clear, cold, and untouched , like the woman who sat quietly before him.
Yue Lan didn't say a word. She simply shifted slightly, making room on the bed.
Li Feng stepped forward, face calm, movements respectful. But beneath that composed exterior, a quiet fire licked at his heart.
He sat beside her.
"I've come for the deal," he said softly.
She gave the faintest nod, her golden eyes half-lidded, indifferent. Her silver robe shimmered under the light, its folds brushing against her pale thigh, revealing just enough to stir the blood of any man though she moved as if unaware.
Li Feng studied her.
The long sweep of her hair draped over her shoulder like black silk. Her skin was pale and smooth, like untouched snow. Her chest rose gently—two soft jades barely contained by her robe, full and round, tempting to the eye. Her waist was slim, her hips perfectly curved, and her lips… small, soft, with a faint red tint that stirred something primal in him.
He had touched this body once.
And he planned to do it again.
Last time, he had been too overwhelmed by excitement ,rushed, greedy, unable to savor the rare chance he'd been given. But tonight, Li Feng was determined to take his time. To fully explore and appreciate every inch of this cold fairy's flawless form.
He leaned in slightly, voice casual. "Senior Sister... I've recently become a Rank 1 Alchemist"
Her gaze flicked toward him, faint surprise breaking through her icy calm. "...You?"
He smiled, eyes glinting with sincerity. "An epiphany. Strange, isn't it? I just… understood it. Flame control, pill essence, spirit root balance. As if something opened up inside me."
Even thought it rare , it is true something like this can happen in the cultivation world and Li Feng doesn't want to reveal his system so that why he decided to push all of the blame onto this rare miracle.
"I believe I can offer much more help now to help senior sister in achieving her goals " Words full of sincerity flew out of his mouth.
Yet his hand, during his words, had not been idle.
It rested lightly on her waist at first , then traced down, slow and soft, brushing the curve of her back onto her round soft peach through the thin silk. She didn't move. Didn't stop him. Her expression didn't change.
Li Feng felt overwhelming size and softness that seem to melt and merge into his hand and couldn't help but exclaim inside his heart "Damn , this softness is too heavenly , I could do this all day", but on the outside he try to act calm and with a wave of his other hand , he produced a small box and opened it.
Five flawless Qi Convergence Pills lay within each round and gleaming, without a single blemish.
"Flawless pills," he whispered. "Refined just today."
Yue Lan's brow furrowed ever so slightly. Her eyes lingered on the pills longer than they ever had on him.
"…Flawless?"
He nodded, voice steady. "Having a skilled alchemist by your side can make a difference in your path to the Foundation Realm"
She was silent for a time.
And while she pondered ,his hands didn't stay idle and grew bolder.
He take his hand that was on her peach off and move upward and circling around her shoulder and squeeze her soft peak jade from outside the cloth.
Li Feng couldn't help but marvel at the heavenly softness and fullness that barely fit into his palm, even through the fabric. After kneading and shaping the soft jade a few times, curiosity got the better of him. He slipped his hand beneath the base of her jade peak, gently lifting it , as if weighing a treasure too perfect to be real.
Meanwhile, Yue Lan, lost in thought, didn't seem to mind the disobedient hand exploring her body. She allowed it to do as it pleased, her golden eyes distant, reflecting nothing of the heat rising beneath her robe.
In her mind, she was weighing the situation calmly. An alchemist, even one with only a Rank 1, could greatly increase her chances of reaching the top five in the tournament, she thought. Pills meant stability. Pills meant faster progress. With someone reliable refining for her, she could dedicate more time to her cultivation and worry less about resource gathering.
Li Feng's sudden emergence as a self-proclaimed alchemist had surprised her. But the pill he showed a flawless-grade Qi Convergence Pill was hard to fake.
Even if he exaggerated, having him close could be useful...
As she pondered, the hand kneading her soft jade didn't even draw a flicker of reaction from her face. To her, it was nothing more than a fleeting mortal indulgence her body, a shell for the Dao, not something to be attached.
Li Feng sat beside Yue Lan, the warm lantern light casting a soft glow over her face. Her expression was calm as always, cold and unreadable, but that only made her more enticing to him.
His eyes drifted downward and stopped at the deep valley between her chest. The way her robe pressed her soft jade peaks together created a valley that practically begged for attention. As someone who couldn't resist exploring, he reached over and slid his hand down between them.
"Soft…" he muttered to himself, fingers brushing along the inner area, feeling the warmth through the fabric directly.
He molded the flesh gently, shaping it in his palm into various shape with his rough hand and then his fingers found a firm point buried beneath the softness. His thumb and forefinger squeezed it lightly.
Meanwhile, Yue Lan didn't seem react at all on the outside.
She sat quietly, deep in thought, letting his hand do as it pleased. The touch clearly didn't bother her. She was more focused on the pros and cons of having an alchemist support her cultivation.
After a long while, Li Feng finally seemed satisfied. He tugged gently at the sash of her robe, loosening it with a soft rustle of fabric. The outer layer slipped back slightly, revealing her collarbone, smooth and delicate, like soft jade polished by moonlight. His fingertips trailed along the edge, savoring the faint coolness of her skin beneath his touch.
Li Feng couldn't believe his luck. An immortal fairy like her, letting him touch her like this, peel her robe like petals off a sacred lotus.
He swallowed, heart thudding.
His rough palm slid upward, cupping her soft jade gently that barely fit inside his palm directly ,then kneading with a hunger barely restrained. A round bead peeked beneath the silk, taut and untouched. His thumb circled it slowly, reverently.
Yue Lan body shifted faintly but made no move to stop him. Her voice, however, cut through the air again.
"What's your refinement success rate?"
"Seventy percent," he lied smoothly. "I won't pretend to be a master, but I'm confident of this much."
In truth, he had never failed a single batch.
Yue Lan seemed thoughtful, eyes narrowing.
"Even experienced alchemists struggle to reach fifty percent."
Her tone was flat , but her body betrayed her. The cool elegance of her face remained, but the flush creeping up her neck and the slight rise and fall of her chest were harder to hide. It seems her body has a different thought of it own.
While she calculated, Li Feng admired.
He gently pushed her robe further off her shoulder, letting it fall around her hips. Beneath, she wore nothing ,not even a binding sash. Her body, cold and untouched, seemed sculpted from ice. Smooth curves, slender limbs, a pair of twin peak that seemed to mock gravity.
His fingertips brushed her cheek, tracing the arc of her jaw. Her skin was like flowing water , soft and cold, yet warm under pressure. That snow-lotus face, so expressionless… yet so breathtaking.
And then she spoke.
"If you're willing to support me with your ability as alchemist, I will compensate you. Spirit stones—"
"No." He cut her off gently.
She looked at him, puzzled.
Li Feng leaned in, eyes full of false sincerity. "I don't care about spirit stones, Senior Sister. What I want… is to see you reach the peak of the Dao. I might not be able to walk this path much so that why I want to help you reach the Dao in my place "
He took her hands and said softly. "You can let me borrow your mortal vessel from time to time so I can remember the warmth of the past. That's all I ask in return."
Li Feng's voice dipped even lower, sincere to the ear, but inside his mind ' If you pay then how am I suppose to get favor point and that breathtaking body ?'
Yue Lan seem a bit moved upon hearing Li Feng words.
"I know I'm not worthy, but even if I can just aid you on your path… that's enough for me."
'And if I can bury my face in your soft snow peaks while doing it… heaven, that's a bonus'
She turned her head slowly, gazing at him with unreadable eyes. "You wish to support me... without payment?"
He nodded solemnly. "Just let me… share a bit of your mortal body. That's enough."
She frowned, thoughtful. It was a strange deal. But… not a bad one. Her body was a vessel for the Dao. What did it matter if it was used this way?
"…Fine."
The word fell like a quiet bell.
Li Feng's heart leapt.
In that moment, Li Feng's last restraint snapped.
He pushed her down onto the bed, gently, but with an eagerness that simmered just beneath the surface, like a beast hidden beneath a scholar's attire, and his dragon already rise high beneath his rope ready to soar toward the heaven.
Lowering himself, his lips met one of her soft jade, lingering with shameless reverence. He suck roughly on one of her soft jade, savoring the subtle sweetness of her cool skin, as though trying to drink in her very essence. His other hand wandered to her second peak, kneading it with rough adoration, molding her like clay too perfect to shape, yet too tempting to leave untouched.
Yue Lan remained silent , expression unreadable, her gaze distant, yet she made no move to stop him. But her breath, however, betrayed her calm. Shallow. Quietly rising.

Outside, as the night deepened. A strange rhythm of creaking wood of a bed and muffled groans of a man filled the quiet courtyard with the sound of something soft colliding like a never ending hammer strike. Thankfully, the soundproof formation still held firm. If not, nearby disciples might have mistaken it for a spar gone terribly wrong...
And if any had seen what was happening behind those closed doors, they might've wept with envy or cursed the heavens.
Fairy Yue Lan- cold, untouchable, her skin like flawless white jade, a body pure and untainted, revered by all, was now being pressed down on the bed and shamelessly teased by an shady middle-aged man barely into the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining.
It was truly like a mud smear on a snow white flower.
And she did not stop him.
