Hey, What Are You Doing?

Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan exchanged glances, each signaling the other.

"You go first."

"No, I'll follow you."

In their silent exchange, both their cheeks grew increasingly red.

In the end, Ling Yuan was the first to yield to Qian Renxue's pressure from Y Wei and make a move.

A pair of delicate hands wrapped around Lin Feng from behind, caressing his chest. Soft and boneless, they glided slowly and gently over him.

Her proud, delicate body pressed lightly against Lin Feng's back, bringing two tender sensations.

"Mm-hm—"

Lin Feng's heart raced as he accelerated the refinement of the Whale Rubber.

There wasn't much Whale Rubber, so he could still remain conscious at all times, but this feeling was indeed rather unpleasant.

His flushed cheeks took on an even stranger hue.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and eagerly leaned forward, reaching out to touch Lin Feng's cheek.

Unlike usual, the instant they made contact this time, both of them clearly noticed the other trembling like they had been shocked by electricity.

Wow!

A flicker of excitement shone in Qian Renxue's eyes, as though she had discovered something very interesting.

The feeling was hazy and indistinct, seemingly real and unreal at once, yet it truly existed, stirring Qian Renxue's curiosity.

No wonder those nobles treasured this kind of thing. It really was interesting.

Qian Renxue's eyes curved into a smile as her soft legs naturally crossed and rested on Lin Feng's thighs.

"If Xiao Feng is feeling uncomfortable, you can touch me too~"

Hey, what are you doing!?

How could I possibly fall for this kind of temptation? What did it mean to be a true man? To stand tall beneath heaven and earth, fearless in the face of temptation!

"Mm—"

His slightly hot palm slid over a smooth, slender jade leg.

Lin Feng suddenly felt his mind settle somewhat.

What did it mean to be a true man? To bend when necessary and stretch when necessary—that was what made a true man!

"Xiao Feng?"

"Hmm?"

The pretty head resting against Lin Feng's shoulder shifted slightly. Her lip petals opened and closed.

"That plan fell through. Xiao Xue already knew you overheard everything that day."

The movement of Lin Feng's hand stopped. Even with his thick skin, he felt somewhat embarrassed at that moment.

Qian Renxue swung her little leg, signaling Lin Feng not to stop.

She said carelessly:

"I knew it the moment I saw you two holding hands that day. Xiao Feng, oh, Xiao Feng, I'm the only person in this world who understands you best.

"Did you really think you could hide it from me? How could that be possible?"

"You must be feeling very pleased with yourself now, right? You managed to win over Ling Yuan Jie and me, so you must be overjoyed inside, right?

"You even planned to join forces with Ling Yuan Jie to prank me. I can see that you don't understand anything at all. Ling Yuan Jie is my person!"

Lin Feng: ...

"Fine, then how are you going to punish me?"

Qian Renxue giggled. She looked at Lin Feng's somewhat awkward and unnatural body, her face flushing red.

"I'm going to punish you by making you say out loud, right now, that you like Ling Yuan Jie."

That was all?

"I like Ling Yuan, and I like you too, Xiao Xue."

"Hmph, you shameless womanizer."

Qian Renxue raised one foot and placed it against Lin Feng's lower abdomen, punishing him with her crystalline toes.

Ling Yuan's Pretty Face was covered in a crimson blush. The two women were even redder than Lin Feng, who had taken the Whale Rubber.

They were the very definition of being terrible at this while loving every moment of it.

So why are you rewarding me?

Lin Feng was utterly baffled, completely unable to understand what the two women were thinking.

After seeing Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan off, Lin Feng let out a long breath.

It seemed Qian Renxue had completely accepted Ling Yuan. He no longer needed to worry about the two of them.

They could even join forces to "torment" him. What grudges could they possibly still have?

"A Spirit Undefeatable Flaw?"

Lin Feng stroked his chin.

"Perhaps it's similar to the restriction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

"Only by evolving the Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can one add nine Soul Rings. Otherwise, one can only stop at level 79 and become a Soul Sage for the rest of one's life."

Lin Feng's brows furrowed slightly. If that was the case, giving the Aromatic Silk Beauty to the Ye Family would add another layer of resistance to subduing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future.

"I have to see for myself.

"Xiao Xue's disguise has been in place for some time. After a little longer, Ling Yuan Jie and I will be able to go out.

"When that time comes, I'll still have to visit the Nine Heart Begonia Family and personally experience the wondrous aspects of this Martial Soul.

"If there really is no other way, then I'll consider the Immortal Herb."

Lin Feng actually had another theory: the Nine Heart Begonia and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were Martial Souls restricted by the laws of heaven and earth.

The complete forms of both Martial Souls had effects that could only be described as heaven-defying. If they were allowed to become inheritable Martial Souls that could spread and multiply,

they would probably trample every other auxiliary Martial Soul beneath their feet.

Or perhaps...

Was the Plane Will of Douluo Star suppressing this situation?

After all, if there were too many holders of these two types of Martial Souls, the survival rate of human Spirit Masters would inevitably rise sharply.

That would be harmful to the balance of the entire continent.

A glint flashed through Lin Feng's eyes. If that was the case, wouldn't he also have to accept this karma and repay it to the Plane Will in the future?

Hmm...

Lin Feng thought it over carefully. It seemed that this might not be unacceptable. His Innate Soul Evolution Art had long since transcended the limitations of the current Spirit Master system.

Once he could condense Soul Rings himself in the future, he would effectively stand opposed to the God Realm. That had been unavoidable from the moment he began researching his Cultivation Method.

Helping the Plane Will could only be considered something done along the way.

So...

Does this mean I've taken on Huo Yuhao's task ten thousand years ahead of time?

"Xiao Feng, it's time to make dinner. I want Grilled Fish today."

Qian Renxue entered from outside the Secret Chamber and yawned.

"Grilled Fish... Sure, no problem."

A strange expression flashed across Lin Feng's face for an instant, but he accepted the assignment.

Living in the Secret Chamber and the Crown Prince Residence every day made life seem somewhat monotonous.

Three months later.

That morning, Lin Feng and Ling Yuan strolled through the streets of Heaven Dou City.

"This seems to be the first time we've gone shopping together like this, doesn't it?"

Ling Yuan held onto Lin Feng's arm, pressing her body tightly against his as she walked beside him step by step, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

After signaling with a shake of her head for Ling Yuan not to eat any more, Lin Feng finished off the remaining fish balls and said casually:

"We have plenty more days ahead of us. We can come here often."

"Mm~"

Ling Yuan narrowed her eyes and lightly sniffed the young man's scent in the air. It was fresh like green leaves and gentle and bright like warm sunlight.

After eating the Immortal Herb and taking the Whale Rubber, with his Innate Treasure Pearl and Spirit Meridian nourishing him, Lin Feng's growth had been astonishingly rapid.

By now, he was already about the same height as Ling Yuan, and had even surpassed her.

The lines of his face had grown more defined. His eyes were bright and lively, and a sunny smile rested at the corners of his mouth.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman walked side by side.

Along the way, countless sounds of gritted teeth rang out from the shadows.

Ling Yuan secretly laughed when she heard them.

"Do you want to buy some clothes?"

Ling Yuan nodded, looking at Lin Feng with a teasing expression.

"You want to help me choose?"

"Of course. I'm actually quite knowledgeable about clothing."

Lin Feng spoke with complete seriousness while spouting nonsense.

"Heehee."

Ling Yuan rolled her eyes at Lin Feng and dragged him into the shop.

Just then, a clear call rang out:

"Ling Yuan?! You're here too!?"

At the sound of that voice, Ling Yuan's Delicate Body trembled, and the smile on her face froze.
