Hongjun's Hellish Proposal

"What am I doing? Of course I'm asking for my reward!"

Chu Feng paused. "You promised me this."

"I never promised to let you disrespect me."

Hongjun frowned slightly and shoved Chu Feng away.

"Your temperament might change after you become a saint. I think it would be better to claim a few benefits in advance."

Chu Feng was worried. Beneath saints, all were ants. Saints stood beyond the mundane world, and he did not dare guarantee whether Hongjun would change after becoming a saint.

There was no need to mention Luohu. Although she was bloodthirsty, she was not the sort to go back on her word.

Besides, Luohu had sworn a Great Dao oath and would not harm his life.

Hongjun was another matter. Based on the Primordial World novels he had read, Hongjun was a master schemer, the very image of a crafty old bastard, and the final boss of countless Primordial World novels.

Although Hongjun had become a woman in this Primordial World he had transmigrated into, who could guarantee that she would not go back on her word after becoming a saint?

Make Hongjun swear a Great Dao oath?

Chu Feng felt that was impossible. Hongjun was different from Luohu; the Heavenly Dao stood behind her, and she already possessed a method to attain the Dao.

Make Hongjun swear a Heavenly Dao oath?

She would eventually undergo Unification with the Heavenly Dao. Asking her to swear a Heavenly Dao oath?

Wouldn't that be like reporting a child to her own parents after she made a mistake?

Leaving aside whether he could persuade Hongjun to swear a Heavenly Dao oath, even if he did, the oath could not possibly restrain her.

"No. What I say is final."

Seeing that Chu Feng did not believe her, Hongjun puffed out her cheeks, somewhat angry. "How about this? If you can become a saint within a million years, I will become Dao Companions with you."

A wicked grin curled across Chu Feng's lips, and he inwardly exclaimed, Well, damn.

Could anyone believe it?

The future Dao Ancestor was actually acting coquettishly like a little girl?

Who would believe that if they heard it?

"No. I feel like you'll have a change of heart after becoming a saint. You've had too much contact with the Heavenly Dao. Maybe you'll undergo Unification with the Heavenly Dao someday. I don't dare gamble on that."

Chu Feng's attitude was firm. He tightly wrapped an arm around her waist and refused to let go.

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

"How did you know? Did you encounter some fortuitous opportunity?"

Hongjun looked at Chu Feng with a solemn expression.

"I guessed."

Chu Feng spouted nonsense with a straight face and began fooling Hongjun, telling her his thoughts.

Unification with the Heavenly Dao was also a method of becoming a saint. Although Hongjun was suspicious, she did not press him further.

She was confident that even if Chu Feng could point out her intentions, it would have no effect on her grand plan.

As long as Chu Feng remained in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao would see through everything. She was not worried in the slightest.

At that thought, Hongjun gave a sly smile, amusement curling at the corners of her lips.

She raised a jade finger and hooked it beneath Chu Feng's chin. "Since you know all this, don't you want to experience what it feels like to cultivate together with me after I undergo Unification with the Heavenly Dao?"

Holy shit!

This woman was no good!

What kind of hellish proposal was that?

Hearing Hongjun say that, Chu Feng was completely dumbfounded, internally screaming in shock.

Listen to that. What kind of bizarre idea was that? Could a person even come up with something like that?

Chu Feng subconsciously opened his mouth wide and stared at her in disbelief.

Hongjun truly lived up to her reputation as a crafty old bastard. She had actually come up with such a sinister method.

If they cultivated together after she underwent Unification with the Heavenly Dao, would he be cultivating with Hongjun, or with the Heavenly Dao?

Chu Feng did not dare think about it, but just imagining it was exciting!

"Well? What do you think of my proposal?"

Hongjun's jade finger exerted a little force, lifting Chu Feng's chin as she put on an affectionate expression.

To Chu Feng, that expression was obviously fake and completely unnatural.

"Fine, but I'm all fired up right now. What do you think I should do?" Chu Feng asked with a wicked grin as he seized Hongjun's hand.

"If you're fired up, endure it! Before I undergo Unification with the Heavenly Dao, if you cannot control yourself, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Hongjun's gaze sharpened as she released her aura and stared fixedly at Chu Feng.

"Fine..."

Chu Feng subconsciously wiped away cold sweat and cursed inwardly, Fuck, I nearly pushed it too far. Hongjun is far stronger than me. I don't have a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Experience Card right now. If I really piss her off, I might end up reincarnating on the spot.

A true man knew when to bend and when to stand tall. Without enough strength, one had no choice but to bow under another's roof.

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

"Very good. Cultivate properly and cultivate your character."

Seeing Chu Feng yield, Hongjun withdrew her aura and nodded with a smile.

Afterward, Chu Feng and Hongjun bathed together, their figures faintly visible through the mist.

Hongjun lightly gathered her dark hair, her cheeks slightly flushed. Her brows and eyes were picturesque, like a lotus emerging from the water.

Chu Feng sighed helplessly and forcibly suppressed the heat in his heart as he helped Hongjun bathe. He could not have her yet, but he could not pass up a little advantage either. He could not waste even a single grain of rice.

After the bath, Hongjun's eyes narrowed as she changed into fresh clothes. "I just had a sudden insight. I'm preparing to enter seclusion and make a breakthrough. Stay here and cultivate properly."

After giving her instructions, she left the dojo, leaving Chu Feng utterly confused.

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

"Ding dong, system recovery progress has reached 20%. The host's cultivation has broken through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Progress rewards are being issued."

"Ding dong, the host has completed a chain mission. Rewards upgraded."

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

"Innate Yellow Middle Plum: It blossoms for one Yuanhui, bears fruit for one Yuanhui, and ripens for one Yuanhui. Upon consumption, one directly advances to Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

"Innate Primordial Spirit (Hunyuan Grade): Upon use, grants a primordial spirit with supreme aptitude and no side effects."

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

"Peak Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Experience Card: Upon use, immediately grants Ninth Heaven Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation for one day."

"There's actually a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Experience Card. Just when I needed a pillow, one arrived."

Chu Feng was ecstatic. With the experience card, he had confidence. Hongjun was about to become a saint, and this would be his trump card for staying alive.

The Yellow Middle Plum was of no use to him for now, but it could create a batch of Grand Unity Golden Immortals and help him cultivate his own forces.

The three races had been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. He could use them to win over the three races. Perhaps he could ride a luan and a phoenix, become a qilin war god, and turn into a dragon rider.

As for the Innate Primordial Spirits, the system's intent was obvious: it wanted him to win over the Ancestral Witches.

After all, only the Twelve Ancestral Witches needed Innate Primordial Spirits.

However, the system had only given him three Innate Primordial Spirits. He had no way to help every Ancestral Witch and could only wait for future rewards.

"Life is finally looking up."

Chu Feng hummed a little tune as he prepared to enter seclusion.

Just then, inspiration struck Chu Feng. He halted and asked, "System, have you awakened yet? Can you tell me what earth-shattering thing you did?"
