The Fabric Was a Bit Too Sparse

Lin Xiaojiao was considered quite a prominent figure within the Inner Sect.

This was not because her figure completely failed to match her name.

It was because of her strength. If one wanted to make a name for oneself in the Inner Sect, the most basic requirement was strength.

As long as you were strong enough, many external factors could be ignored.

Rumor had it that Lin Xiaojiao cultivated an extremely special technique that allowed her to forcibly plunder her dual cultivation partner's vital essence.

And as long as she controlled the amount properly, she could plunder it repeatedly.

Lin Xiaojiao had not looked like this in the beginning.

She had once been a genuine beauty, with a very slender figure.

But because she cultivated that technique, a massive amount of vital essence and blood energy had accumulated within her body.

That essence could not be digested in a short time, so Lin Xiaojiao became what she was now.

Looks like I can only stay silent!

Faced with this situation, Zhou Feng could only remain silent.

At the same time, he had already prepared himself for battle.

He said nothing.

Because he did not utter a word, the scene immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere turned somewhat strange.

"Are you mute? Since that's the case, nod if you're willing to become my male concubine! I won't treat you poorly!"

Lin Xiaojiao directly took out a box.

"Inside is a Thousand-Year Ginseng. As long as you agree, it's yours!"

Naturally, Lin Xiaojiao was wealthy if she could support so many male concubines for her pleasure and cultivation.

She had offered Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng right away. It was absolutely a good thing.

As the saying went, given enough time, even pigs could become spirits.

Not to mention something like ginseng, which absorbed sunlight, dew, moonlight, and spiritual essence every day. Just cutting off a small piece would contain enough spiritual energy to support Zhou Feng's cultivation for quite some time.

Still silent, Zhou Feng merely stood there blankly without answering.

"Interesting! There aren't many who can refuse Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng! You must have only entered the Inner Sect recently, right?"

Seeing this, Lin Xiaojiao suddenly laughed, the flesh on her body trembling along with it.

For a gatekeeper to resist the temptation of Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng, he had clearly never suffered much hardship.

If it were anyone else, they would fight for that Thousand-Year Ginseng even at the cost of half their life.

For example, the man guarding the gate alongside Zhou Feng had stared wide-eyed the moment Lin Xiaojiao took out the Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng.

He practically wanted to agree in Zhou Feng's place.

So what if she was fat? Once the lights were out, everyone was the same.

At most, he would lose some vital essence. With Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng, anything could be replenished.

Danger!

Just as Lin Xiaojiao laughed loudly, Zhou Feng's Combat Instinct suddenly triggered.

Spiritual power surged from within his body, his dark spiritual power carrying a violent, savage feeling.

A craving for food began to affect Zhou Feng as well, and his stomach suddenly grew hungry.

He fiercely stomped down with his right foot.

A huge centipede was crushed beneath his foot.

It was enormous and dark red. If Combat Instinct had not triggered,

Zhou Feng would never have noticed that such a centipede had already crawled to his feet, ready to take a huge bite out of him.

"Damn it! It's a Starving Ghost from Bitter Bamboo Peak!"

The moment Lin Xiaojiao saw the spiritual power he had unleashed, she immediately cursed her bad luck inwardly.

Those Starving Ghosts were all food for the Grand Elder. Even though her master was also an elder, he likely could not protect her against the Grand Elder.

"Leave now! Don't waste time!"

Lin Xiaojiao immediately urged the sedan bearers to leave.

She had never expected someone from Bitter Bamboo Peak to come to the market district and work as a gatekeeper.

What a freak!

Zhou Feng's behavior was simply bizarre even among the people of Bitter Bamboo Peak.

Because whenever the people of Bitter Bamboo Peak lacked resources, they would directly pick fights and collect protection fees.

The monthly Martial Arts Tournament was also the primary means by which Bitter Bamboo Peak earned cultivation resources.

Coming here to guard the gate so obediently? There had to be something wrong with his head!

For the disciples of the Three Gu Sect, taking shady shortcuts was always the first choice.

Honestly completing assigned tasks? That was proof that one lacked strength.

Why not just take half after someone else finished the task?

This was actually one of the reasons Xiong Dan could not survive in the Inner Sect.

As long as you were not strong enough, more than half of the rewards from any sect task you completed would be taken away.

Those prominent Inner Sect disciples spent their days either cultivating or fighting.

Yet many things within the sect still needed to be done: feeding Flesh Gu, refining pills, mining, Tax Collection, and so on. These tasks were distributed among the other Inner Sect disciples.

A warped ecosystem had long since formed within the Inner Sect.

"So hungry~~"

Lin Xiaojiao wanted to leave quickly, but Zhou Feng blocked the middle of the road.

The Demon Devouring Gu within Zhou Feng suddenly seemed to awaken, constantly urging him to devour Lin Xiaojiao before him.

Even with the Level 2 Gluttony passive, which made him immune to hunger, he could not escape the Demon Devouring Gu's influence.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Sensing Zhou Feng's abundant spiritual power, Lin Xiaojiao cursed her bad luck three times in a row.

Then she directly tossed him a bottle of Blood Pills.

"Not enough!"

His voice was somewhat hoarse, but his expression remained extremely calm.

At this moment, Zhou Feng was doing his best to control the Demon Devouring Gu within him. This Demon Devouring Gu was far too sinister.

Merely circulating his spiritual power had caused such a huge reaction.

He urgently needed a large quantity of Blood Pills or something even more valuable to feed the Demon Devouring Gu.

So he directly said the words, "Not enough."

"You're courting death! Don't think I'm afraid of Bitter Bamboo Peak!"

When she heard Zhou Feng say "Not enough," Lin Xiaojiao almost thought she had misheard him.

How did every random nobody dare threaten her?

So what if he was from Bitter Bamboo Peak?

As she spoke, Lin Xiaojiao's body began expanding again, heat slowly radiating from her.

The sedan bearers immediately could not endure it any longer and dropped to one knee.

"I was wondering who was blocking the entrance. So it's Sister Xiaojiao!"

The scene was on the verge of erupting into a fight.

But a slightly playful voice slowly entered everyone's ears.

In the blink of an eye, a woman slowly walked between the two sides.

Everyone's gazes were instantly drawn toward her.

Her raven-black hair drifted in the breeze like willow catkins, while her pure white Flowing Immortal Dress swayed gently.

What caught the eye most was how little fabric the Flowing Immortal Dress had, leaving most of her pale, tender skin exposed beneath the sunlight.

The peaks upon her chest were also exceptionally full, and every man present suddenly felt a wave of heat rise within them.

Her appearance was also breathtaking. Her face looked quite pure, yet it carried an alluring charm.

Compared to Lin Xiaojiao, this woman completely outclassed her.

To be honest, this was the first time Zhou Feng had ever seen such an exquisite beauty.

For that brief moment, even his heartbeat quickened slightly.

But only a second later, Zhou Feng regained his calm.

Because his Combat Instinct passive was frantically warning him that the woman before him was extremely dangerous.

"Bitch!"

Seeing her male concubines looking as though they had been bewitched, Lin Xiaojiao was furious.
