The door creaked open as Li Feng stepped back into his courtyard, sunlight trailing behind him like a veil.
Inside, Yue Lan was seated in his room with her legs crossed, her long black hair draped down her back like silk. Her eyes were closed in quiet meditation, her aura calm, but the moment she sensed his presence, those golden eyes slowly opened.
Li Feng gave her a wide grin. "Congratulations, Senior Sister for the breakthrough"
Yue Lan didn't speak at first, but her gaze softened ever so slightly. "Mn."
Li Feng walked closer and plopped down beside her with exaggerated laziness. "Honestly, I'm so happy my pills works. It was worth the hard work."
She gave him a flat look as if saying 'Your pills, or your shamelessness?', Yue Lan couldn't help but shook her head thinking about all the thing she learn from him during these past days.
He chuckled and leaned in, hand lightly brushing a few strands of hair from her cheek.
Without waiting, he reached out and gently pulled her into his lap. Yue Lan didn't resist, just gave him a glance, cold but not refusing. Her body was soft and light, and the way she sat upright in his lap, back straight and gaze distant, only made Li Feng's blood stir hotter.
"Relax a little," he whispered, arms sliding around her waist, fingers lightly stroking the curve of her hip.
She closed her eyes for a moment, exhaling faintly as if indulging him, just this once.
His hand trailed upward, brushing against the curve of her thigh under her robe. He murmured by her ear, "After the breakthrough , I wonder if your endurance improved too…"
Yue Lan feeling the heat and hardness between her peach through the cloth but ignore it.
"Li Feng," she interrupted, voice calm. "I have something to ask."
That brought his hand to a pause.
"I want to borrow some spirit stones," Yue Lan said softly, not meeting his gaze. "I want to buy a new weapon as my current weapon… it isn't strong enough anymore."
Li Feng blinked. Then, his arms tightened slightly.
This proud, icy fairy was actually asking him for help?
For a moment, joy feel his heart. He now know that this Senior sister of his must think highly of him now.
"Borrow Spirit stones?" He smiled, resting his chin on her shoulder, inhale her spring-like fragrance scent , "There no need for that Senior sister, actually I have some gift for you..." While his hand start to be dishonest again.
She turned to glance at him, skeptical and just ignore his dishonest hand which seem to slip into her chest area.
Li Feng flicked his storage ring and, with a small flash, summoned a sleek, elegant sword, its blade faintly glimmering with frosty light, its hilt carved from a white crystal-like jade.
"This is a Peak Rank 1 Ice-Attribute Sword call Jadefrost," he said, pretending to put on his most serious face. "A family heirloom. I've been keeping it hidden all this time. Never thought I'd give it to anyone,... for you Senior sister I'm willing to give it to you"
Yue Lan's gaze flickered. "You want to give me this treasure sword for free?" Surprise filled her face as she noticed the extraordinariness of this sword just from it aura alone.
Li Feng sighed dramatically. "Senior Sister, would I lie to you? I'm serious when I say that I want to see you rise and walk a long path toward the dao."
She looked at the sword again, silent.
Seeing her hesitate, Li Feng smiled inwardly. He have to strike while it still hot.
Li Feng gave a soft sigh , deep, dramatic, and full of a righteous melancholy.
"And the tournament will begin in 10 days and if Senior Sister wants to reach the peak of the 9th realm…", Li Feng pretended to appear hesitant, but with a determined tone, he declared.
"I will use a secret technique to refine more flawless pills.…to make sure Senior sister reach that the peak of 9th realm"
"Secret Technique?" Yue Lan muttered. She knew that using a secret technique isn't simple, as there is always a price to pay. There are many miraculous things in the world, so she didn't doubt Li Feng's words. She also didn't want to pry into his secrets either, as everyone had their own opportunities and secrets, and asking about them is consider a taboo in the righteous sect as the sect don't want ill intentions to form between fellow sect members; at the very least inside the sect, everyone must follow the rules.
Li Feng hand slipped slightly under her robe again, fingers teasing the edge of her thigh. "…It will strains my mind, drains my spirit energy, and worse..." he lowered his tone further, letting a note of false bitterness creep in, "....the process causes extreme potential exhaustion. Without proper recovery… My foundation could even collapse."
Of course, all that talk is just Li Feng spouting nonsense; he can easily refine a flawless-grade pill as long as he has the ingredients.
Yue Lan's lips parted, her eyes flickering faintly. For a brief moment, she genuinely looked moved, "…Li Feng," she murmured, quietly. "You… don't have to go so far."
"This is nothing if it is for you " he said, voice gentle, almost reverent. "Senior Sister, I've watched you cultivate so diligently. How could I stand by and let your progress falter when I have the means to help?"
Yue Lan, sensing the determination in his tone, knew she couldn't dissuade him. After a brief pause, she sighed softly and said, "Let me know when you require my assistance," her voice firm but quiet, still perched gracefully on his lap. By now, she already knew what kind of "assistance" he usually want.
Li Feng's grin widened as he finally achieved his target.
"Yes, yes. Senior can definitely help," he said with fake seriousness. "Implementing this… unique mortal technique alongside proper relaxation methods has truly help me. It calms my meridians, aligns my breath, and enhances my mental focus."
His hand slipped higher, fingers brushing against the thin cloth of her undergarment, where heat pooled beneath.
Yue Lan glanced down, then back at him with a resigned expression. "...You're going to do it again, aren't you?" She thought this guy is truly vigorous; it wasn't that long since she helped him relax.
"You just broke through, Senior Sister," he murmured. "We should test your new limits, don't you think?"
Yue Lan turned her face slightly, her golden eyes meeting his. After a while, she give a small nodded, her silent approval sign.
Li Feng chuckled, seeing that now this seemed to be the right mood. He then use one of his hand to caress her soft cheek and tilted her head before kissing her.
'mhnn''mhnm'
Not forcefully this time, he was almost too gentle. Their lips brushed, then deepened into something warm and wet. Yue Lan responded slowly at first, but then her hand crept up to his dishonest hand that currently inside her undergarment molding her soft jade. She tried to hold it in place, but the movements only intensified, becoming even wilder.
Yue Lan started to feel the intense heat from his palm, as if it were mirroring Li Feng's excitement. 'This is not that bad...' After being with him and experiencing many weird things, she began to accept this feeling of indulgence with him, not because she wanted to, but she really couldn't do anything when Li Feng is in heat like this, so she might as well learn to enjoy it.
For a moment, the world quieted. Only their breathing, the faint creak of the chair beneath them, and the rustling of robes broke the stillness.
When their lips finally parted, a thin trail of saliva still connected them
He gently guided her body, shifting her weight so she straddled him now, her thighs resting on either side of his.
The heat between them rose again.
"Senior sister, you're so beautiful..." Li Feng stared into her clear golden eye and always felt unreal that he could do whatever he wanted with this immortal fairy.
He start kissing along her collarbone, hands roaming, while Yue Lan merely closed her eyes, submitting to the strange routine they had come to know too well.
Cultivation, pills, mortal technique … Li Feng was weaving lies and desire into the perfect trap, and Yue Lan, knowingly or not, walked further into it with every breathless sigh.
Once again, the two began to lose themselves in the moment. In the corner of the room, Goldie is already seated in its meditative posture, with its dimly lit golden sphere-like eye staring at the scene in front of it, about to witness the scene of its master riding the horse again... only this time, it is a reverse horse riding.
