The next day, at Chen Shi (7-9 AM)
With Huo Wu's personal assistance, the two rose and went to the first-floor hall, where Huo Feng had already prepared a table full of fine food and wine.
" Wu'er, Your Emperor, you're awake~" Huo Feng crossed her arms, her magnificent figure revealing a deep cleavage. "Come and try my cooking."
" Your Emperor, I heard you like braised pork, but I didn't know which kind of meat you prefer, so I specially made several portions~"
"Hehe... Thank you, Mother~" Huo Wu happily took Lin Chen's arm, and was relieved to see that he wasn't angry.
After all, last night, in order to make up for her mother's mistake, she went to great lengths, using every trick in the book, before finally calming Lin Chen down.
Half an hour later...
After finishing his meal, Lin Chen said casually, " Madam Huo, I'm quite interested in your Blazing Fire Academy. Could you show me around?"
Huo Feng smiled slightly, "Of course, Your Emperor, please feel free to give your orders, and Blazing Fire Academy and I will do our best to fulfill them."
After saying that, the two slowly got up and left. Huo Wu wisely didn't follow, because she knew that Lin Chen had something to talk about with her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have asked her mother to show him around.
After a stick of incense had burned, Huo Feng led Lin Chen on a tour of most of the Blazing Fire Academy, including the central square, the circular artificial lake, the arena, and so on.
Blazing Fire Academy covers a thousand acres, with students enrolled in a five-year program. Including volunteer teachers, it has nearly ten thousand students, making it a top-tier institution among advanced academies.
"Good morning, Dean Huo!"
"Good morning, Dean Huo!"
Huo Feng led Lin Chen along a secluded path, surrounded by cherry blossom vines, creating a beautiful environment. Passing students bowed respectfully and then hurried away.
"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen Vice Dean Huo Feng treat someone so politely. Who is that person? He's so handsome!"
"I don't know. They must be distinguished guests from the Spirit Hall or the Upper Three Sects, otherwise, why would Dean Huo Feng need to personally receive them?"
I think so.
On the other side
Huo Feng pointed to the small green hill in front of them. " Your Emperor, that's the back mountain of our Blazing Fire Academy. It's connected to a volcano, and many fire-attribute spiritual creatures grow on it, so it's not usually open to outsiders."
"Hmm," Lin Chen said calmly, "Take me there and have a look."
"Then Your Emperor, please come with me."
Today, Huo Feng wore a bright red short skirt, her red hair reaching her waist. Her fiery figure made the skirt form a perfect curve, and her plump, straight, long legs revealed a hint of sexy muscle lines as she climbed the mountain, making her look like a sexy female leopard.
Lin Chen looked her up and down, a burning desire flashing in his eyes, his desire to subdue this stunningly beautiful woman growing stronger.
Huo Feng's figure is very similar to Shui Ningrou's, but their personalities are completely opposite. One is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, tender as water, while the other is fiery and straightforward, strong on the outside and strong on the inside. I wonder what it would be like to put these two very different beauties together...
Before long, the two reached the mountaintop, gazing down at the entire Blazing Fire Academy. Huo Feng chuckled softly, " Your Emperor, please speak freely."
"Hehe... the scenery is quite nice~" Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with interest. "How did Madam Huo know I wanted to see you?"
Huo Feng said calmly, "Because the Emperor's actions have already told me that if it were just a simple visit, why would I need to guide you? Besides, you didn't bring Wu'er with you, which means this matter must be somewhat related to Wu'er."
Snap! Snap!
Lin Chen clapped his hands, looking at her with burning eyes. "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Madam Huo is right, I do indeed have something to discuss with you, Madam..."
Huo Feng's heart tightened; she sensed the strangeness in the other's eyes, but dared not show the slightest displeasure. Instead, she forced a smile, " Your Emperor, please give your orders. As long as it's within my power..."
Lin Chen slowly walked towards her, stopping less than a foot away and taking a deep breath of her mature fragrance.
Huo Feng's beautiful face changed slightly, and she quickly took three steps back, her deep voice tinged with displeasure. " Your Emperor, please have some self-respect!"
"Heh..." Lin Chen sneered, "Madam, if Huo Wu comes with me in the future, how should I treat her?"
Huo Feng's pretty face changed drastically, and she demanded sharply, " Your Emperor, what do you mean by this?!"
Lin Chen said expressionlessly, "You angered me and provoked me in this matter yesterday. I'll give you a choice: either become one of my people, and I'll guarantee your and your daughter's safety, or... you and Blazing Fire Academy will become outcasts of the Spirit Hall!"
"You!!" Huo Feng gritted her teeth in anger, but she didn't dare to make a move. If she didn't move, she still had a choice, but if she did, she and her daughter, as well as Blazing Fire Academy, would be gone immediately.
" Blazing Fire Academy and I are already under the Emperor and His Holiness the Pope. I wonder what the Emperor means by this?!"
Lin Chen stared mockingly at her magnificent figure. "Madam, with your intelligence, you should have already guessed my purpose, hehehe..."
"You shameless!" Huo Feng cursed, "I am Wu'er's mother, how could you..."
"That Huo Ba keeps so many women outside, why must you, Madam, remain steadfast in your loyalty to him?" Lin Chen said calmly.
"Madam, you don't want anything to happen to Wu'er and Blazing Fire Academy, do you?"
Huo Feng was trembling with anger. An ordinary woman would have given in long ago, but she was the fiery-tempered Fire Phoenix.
"You think you can make me submit to you, you brat? You're dreaming! If you've got the guts, just kill us!"
"I'd rather die than submit!" Lin Chen's lips curled into a slight smile, "I like someone like you, Madam..."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yuan appeared behind her instantly, her powerful aura making her heart tremble.
Huo Feng was gambling that Lin Chen wouldn't harm them, because she could see through him. Although Lin Chen wasn't a good person, he wasn't a murderous villain either.
"You... you won't kill me!"
Ling Yuan coldly said, "Why don't you try and see if your Soul Sword can cut off your head?"
Huo Feng snorted coldly, "Then go ahead and kill me!"
Ling Yuan frowned slightly and looked at Lin Chen beside her.
"Sigh... this is really difficult." Lin Chen sighed softly and said calmly, "Madam, I'm starting to admire you. I really don't want to kill you!"
"Alright, I'll give you one more chance to choose. Sparr with me. If you win, I won't make things difficult for you anymore, and I'll take care of Wu'er and Blazing Fire Academy in the future. But if you lose..."
You must kneel and bow down to me, and from now on belong only to me!
"How?"
Huo Feng's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked in return, "Is that really true?"
Lin Chen said calmly, "I never lie."
"Okay, I promise you!" Huo Feng solemnly agreed. She knew Lin Chen was very strong, but this was her only chance. Besides, she had endured for several years at the Blazing Fire Academy and had a certain degree of confidence in her own strength.
As the cheetah gradually walked into his trap, Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly, and the sense of conquest in his heart grew stronger.
This feeling of having control over people's destinies is truly amazing...
Actually, completely controlling the Huo Feng would be quite simple; Lin Chen only needed to make her take the Love Soul Pill. However, he didn't do it because he missed out on that sense of accomplishment from conquest...
