Hongjun's Underworld Proposal

"What are you doing? Of course, I'm here to claim my reward!"

Chu Feng paused, "You promised me this."

"This Seat did not promise to allow you to be disrespectful to me."

Hongjun frowned slightly and pushed Chu Feng away.

"After you become a Saint, your temperament might change. I think it's better to get some benefits in advance."

Chu Feng was worried. Below the Saint realm, all are like ants. They are transcendent and detached. He couldn't guarantee whether Hongjun's personality would change after becoming a Saint.

Luohu was another matter. Although she was bloodthirsty, she wasn't someone who went back on her word.

Moreover, Luohu had sworn a Great Dao oath, so she wouldn't take his life.

Hongjun was different. Based on his experience reading Primordial World novels, Hongjun was cunning and scheming, a typical old schemer, and the ultimate BOSS in countless Primordial World novels.

In the Primordial World he transmigrated to, although Hongjun had become female, who could guarantee she wouldn't go back on her word after becoming a Saint?

Should he make Hongjun swear a Great Dao oath?

Chu Feng felt it was impossible. Hongjun was different from Luohu; she had the Heavenly Dao behind her and already had a method to prove her Dao.

Should he make Hongjun swear a Heavenly Dao oath?

She was going to merge with the Heavenly Dao in the future. Making her swear a Heavenly Dao oath?

Wouldn't that be like a child making a mistake and then complaining to the other parent?

Putting aside whether he could convince Hongjun to swear a Heavenly Dao oath, even if he could, the Heavenly Dao oath wouldn't be able to restrain her at all.

"No, this Seat keeps my word."

Seeing that Chu Feng didn't believe her, Hongjun pouted, a little annoyed. "How about this? If you can become a Saint within a million years, this Seat will become your Dao Companion, how about that?"

A sly smile crept onto Chu Feng's lips, and he inwardly exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

Could you believe it?

The future Dao Ancestor was acting like a spoiled young girl?

Who would believe this if they heard it?

"No, I feel like you'll change your mind after becoming a Saint. You interact with the Heavenly Dao too much, and you might even merge with the Heavenly Dao in the future. I don't dare to gamble."

Chu Feng's attitude was firm. He tightly hugged her waist and refused to let go.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's expression changed drastically. Her face was filled with shock, and a flicker of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

"How do you know? Could it be that you had some fortuitous encounter?"

Hongjun looked at Chu Feng with a solemn expression.

"I guessed."

Chu Feng said nonsense with a straight face, starting to trick Hongjun and tell her his thoughts.

Merging with the Heavenly Dao was also a method of becoming a Saint. Although Hongjun was suspicious, she didn't probe further.

She was confident that even if Chu Feng could see through her plan, it wouldn't have any impact on her grand scheme.

As long as Chu Feng was still in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao would observe everything. She wasn't worried at all.

Thinking of this, Hongjun smiled slyly, a playful curve on her lips.

She lightly lifted her jade finger and hooked Chu Feng's chin, saying faintly, "Since you know these things, don't you want to experience what it's like to cultivate with me after I merge with the Heavenly Dao?"

Holy crap!

This woman is not a good person!

What kind of hellish suggestion is this?

Hearing Hongjun say this, Chu Feng was stunned. He inwardly exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Listen to this! What kind of bizarre idea is this? Is this something a human could think of?

Chu Feng subconsciously opened his mouth wide, looking at her in disbelief.

As expected of the old schemer Hongjun, it was incredible that she could come up with such a malicious plan.

If she merged with the Heavenly Dao and then they cultivated together, would he be cultivating with Hongjun or with the Heavenly Dao?

Chu Feng dared not think about it, but such a thing... it sounded exciting just thinking about it!

"How is it? What do you think of This Seat's proposal?"

Hongjun's jade finger exerted a slight force, lifting Chu Feng's chin. She put on a tender and affectionate expression.

To Chu Feng, this expression was clearly faked and completely unnatural.

"Alright, but I'm feeling hot right now. What do you say we do about it?" Chu Feng seized Hongjun's hand opportunistically, a wicked grin on his face.

"If you're feeling hot, then endure it! Before This Seat merges with the Heavenly Dao, if you can't control yourself, don't blame This Seat for showing no mercy!"

Hongjun's gaze sharpened, and she exuded an aura, staring intently at Chu Feng.

"Okay..."

Chu Feng subconsciously wiped away a cold sweat, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, I almost messed up. Hongjun is far more powerful than me. I don't have a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Experience Card right now. If I push her too far, I might be reincarnated on the spot."

A true man knows when to bend and when to stand tall. Without the confidence now, and under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to bow his head.

Chu Feng had already decided that once the System gave him a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Experience Card or a Saint Experience Card, he would then turn the tables.

"Very good, you shall cultivate well and refine your character," Hongjun said with a smile, retracting her imposing aura as she saw Chu Feng yield.

Afterward, Chu Feng and Hongjun bathed together, their figures appearing and disappearing.

Hongjun lightly tucked her hair, her cheeks flushed, her features exquisite like a water-blooming hibiscus.

Chu Feng let out a helpless sigh, suppressing the heat in his heart, and helped Hongjun bathe. Although he couldn't get what he wanted now, he wouldn't miss out on any small gains; he wouldn't waste a single grain of rice.

After bathing, Hongjun's eyes sharpened, and she changed into her clothes. "I just had a feeling. I'm going to go into seclusion to break through. You stay here and cultivate diligently."

After giving her instructions, she left the Dao Field, leaving Chu Feng completely bewildered.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for interacting with Hongjun, greatly increasing Hongjun's favorability towards the host. Recovery progress increased by 5%. Current system recovery progress: 20%."

"Ding dong, detected that system progress has recovered to 20%. Host's cultivation has broken through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Issuing progress rewards to the host."

"Ding dong, detected that the host has completed a chain quest. Rewards have been upgraded."

"Ding dong, issuing rewards to the host now. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Innate Spirit Root Yellow Middle Plum ×1, Yellow Middle Plum ×50, Innate Primordial Spirit (Hunyuan Level) ×3, Pangu's Blood Essence ×3, Peak Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Experience Card ×1."

"Innate Yellow Middle Plum: Blooms in one Yuanhui, fruits in one Yuanhui, ripens in one Yuanhui. Upon consumption, directly ascends to Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

"Innate Primordial Spirit (Hunyuan Level): Upon use, obtains a Primordial Spirit with top-tier aptitude and no side effects."

"Pangu's Blood Essence: Upon use, greatly strengthens the physical body."

"Peak Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Experience Card: Upon use, immediately gains cultivation of the ninth heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, lasting for one day."

"An experience card for Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal? It's like getting a pillow when you're sleepy."

Chu Feng was ecstatic. With the experience card, he finally had some confidence. Hongjun was about to become a Saint; this was his life-saving trump card.

The Yellow Middle Plum wasn't of much use to him currently, but he could use it to nurture a group of Grand Unity Golden Immortals and build his own forces.

The Three Clans were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. He could use this opportunity to win them over. Perhaps then he could ride a phoenix, become a Qilin War God, or transform into a Dragon Rider.

As for the Innate Primordial Spirit, it was clear that the System intended for him to win over the Ancestral Witches. After all, only the Twelve Ancestral Witches needed Innate Primordial Spirits. However, the System only gave him three Innate Primordial Spirits, so he couldn't help all of them and would have to wait for future rewards.

"Things are looking up."

Chu Feng hummed a little tune, preparing to go into seclusion. Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Chu Feng, and he stopped in his tracks, asking, "System, are you truly awake now? Can you tell me what earth-shattering event you did?"
