Chu Feng had originally thought Su Tiantian would take him back to the Demon Capital, but instead, they returned to the cave once again.
After landing slowly, Chu Feng looked at Su Tiantian and asked, “Sister Tiantian, aren’t we going back to the Demon Capital?”
He had assumed that since her injuries had healed and everything that needed to be done was finished, it was time to head back. Who would’ve thought they’d return to the cave they had lived in for seven days?
“We’ll go back tomorrow.”
Su Tiantian had no intention of returning so soon. This place held beautiful memories for her.
In her previous life, it was in this very cave that she and the little rascal had their first time alone together.
And in this life, this cave was destined to become even more meaningful. Something she would never forget.
“I see.”
What could Chu Feng say? He didn’t even know the way back to the Demon Capital. Over the past few days while searching for food, he had confirmed that the surroundings were all forest, without a trace of human presence.
Then again, it made sense. This was the territory of the demon race. If there were humans around, that would be strange.
Going out rashly would just turn into a thrilling wilderness survival experience. He could imagine himself as Bear Grylls, a man standing at the top of the food chain, but in reality, he’d just be starving. Three days without food would be the norm.
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re unhappy staying with this empress?”
Su Tiantian looked at Chu Feng with a half-smile.
“No, no!” Chu Feng quickly shook his head. “Sister Tiantian is so beautiful….if anything, being able to spend more time with you is my honor.”
“Is that so? In that case, I’ll give you a chance… a chance to stay by my side forever. As long as you agree right now…”
Su Tiantian stepped closer to Chu Feng, her alluring eyes locking onto his. Her voice turned soft and tingling as she said, “From now on… I’ll let you be on top, permit you to ride me. No blame shall fall upon you.”
Wh-What…?!
Chu Feng was stunned. His mind immediately began running wild. Was this… that kind of “ride” he was thinking of?
He wanted to refuse out loud, but his body betrayed him. He couldn’t even open his mouth.
No helping it. His body was far too honest.
The little rascal hesitated.
Seeing this, Su Tiantian revealed a satisfied expression. She wasn’t afraid of his hesitation. What she feared was a firm, decisive answer.
If he couldn’t face her question directly, it meant she already held a place in his heart.
The little rascal was good in every way, just too soft-hearted. Otherwise, in his previous life, he wouldn’t have gotten entangled with so many women.
Though when it came to men, he was anything but indecisive. He dealt with them cleanly and decisively.
“If you don’t know how to answer, then leave it for now. Whenever you’re ready to tell me, I’ll be here to listen,” Su Tiantian said calmly.
“…” Chu Feng was momentarily speechless. After a while, he spoke, “Sister Tiantian, my answer is still the same as before. I’ll make sure you can always stay by my side.”
“You might think I’m talking nonsense, but… there are many people I can’t let go of. My master, my senior sister…”
He didn’t dare finish the rest, afraid Sister Tiantian might think he was too much of a scumbag and just cut off the root of his troubles with a single strike.
“Aren’t there a few more? Little rascal, there’s no need to hide it from me,” Su Tiantian said calmly.
“!!!”
Her words shocked Chu Feng. How did Sister Tiantian know?!
But what she said next stunned him even more.
“It’s fewer than ten women, right? That’s nothing. Among the demon race, even a Demon King typically has at least a dozen consorts. Some even have thousands. Besides, as long as you’re strong enough, no matter how many women you have, no one will dare say a word,” Su Tiantian said dismissively.
This was indeed how things worked among the demon race. Powerful males had numerous mates. The human emperor’s three palaces and seventy-two consorts would only be considered average here. Nothing unusual.
“There’s no need to feel like you’re letting anyone down. If they like you, and you have feelings for them too, then rejecting it just because of worldly opinions. That’s the real wrongdoing!”
The reason Su Tiantian said all this was naturally to lay the psychological groundwork for her future with the little rascal. If they were to be together or even marry, his identity as a human would surely face enormous resistance.
As for the demon race, she had no worries at all. Everything was decided purely by strength. There was none of that so-called moral high ground used to pressure others.
Chu Feng was completely stunned. He hadn’t expected that Sister Tiantian, as a member of the demon race and, more precisely a cultivator in this world…would have such open-minded views.
It made him feel like he was the rigid one, and he couldn’t help but feel ashamed.
“I understand now, Sister Tiantian!”
Chu Feng nodded seriously. This isn’t being a scumbag… this is giving them a warm home.
What a damn profound statement. The words of the ancients truly do not deceive me.
“All of this depends on you being strong enough. Strong enough that no one dares to say anything. But right now, little rascal, you’re still far too weak.”
Su Tiantian let out a soft sigh.
“Sister Tiantian! I’ll work hard to become stronger!”
Chu Feng clenched his fists. For the sake of… ahem, he couldn’t let his mind be filled with those two… impressive seniors. Although that was indeed part of the motivation, it was also about not letting them down. Yes, that’s right!
“Right now, your cultivation seems a bit unbalanced. Your physical body and true qi are fine, but your soul is a bit too weak.”
Su Tiantian immediately saw through Chu Feng’s shortcoming.
There was nothing he could do about it. Cultivating the soul was even harder than training the body. It required time and gradual refinement. He had only transmigrated to this world for less than two years, so the growth of his soul lagged far behind his cultivation level.
“However, I do have a method that can greatly enhance your soul and without any side effects.” A playful smile appeared at the corner of Su Tiantian’s lips.
“Sister Tiantian, what method?”
Chu Feng asked curiously.
“That would be soul fusion. By fusing souls with a powerful partner, both sides can strengthen their soul, and the weaker party will experience a significant boost,” Su Tiantian said calmly. “And since you possess a Yin-Yang spiritual root, the effect of soul fusion will be even better.”
“Ah! It’s actually that method?!”
Chu Feng’s expression turned complicated. He hadn’t expected that breaking through in cultivation relied on the fusion of yin and yang energy. But now even soul breakthroughs required soul fusion. At this rate, it felt like he had become some kind of humanoid… “weapon”.
“Sister Tiantian, is there any other—”
Before he could finish speaking, Su Tiantian’s stunning face suddenly moved close and sealed his lips.
Chu Feng’s eyes widened!
Wasn’t this supposed to be soul fusion?
Then why… was she kissing him?!
Under Su Tiantian’s domineering approach, Chu Feng couldn’t break free at all and could only passively endure it.
It reminded him of a “profound saying” from his predecessors: life is like that. If you can’t resist it, you might as well lie back and accept it.
But something about this kiss felt off. His head started to feel dizzy and lightheaded.
In the next moment, he saw his consciousness appear within his sea of awareness, and then the figure of a fox-like maiden emerged.
Immediately after, the two souls became entangled.
A soft murmur, accompanied by faint panting, echoed endlessly within the sea of consciousness.
