After returning to the room, Liu Shijing placed her fingers on Chu Feng’s wrist and sent out a strand of true qi to examine the current condition inside his body.
Chu Feng sat across from her. He wanted to avert his gaze and look elsewhere, but his eyes kept drifting back toward the tabletop from time to time.
Liu Shijing’s figure was simply too overwhelming. Her heavy, full breasts rested right on the table, carrying an intense sense of pressure.
Even though he knew he shouldn’t keep staring, and tried to look away, the larger the volume, the stronger the pull. His gaze would unconsciously be drawn back every single time.
What’s going on? That’s not right… has my willpower gotten weaker somehow?
Liu Shijing withdrew her fair hand and said calmly, “About thirty percent of the poison in your meridians still remains. Once you take the pill Xueyao gave you, it should be completely cleared out today. It’s only a low-grade poison anyway, so it won’t affect your cultivation.”
After speaking, Liu Shijing leaned forward slightly, sitting upright as she interrogated him:
“Brat, what exactly happened today? How did you end up crippling Liu Tiancheng’s third son?”
Chu Feng answered honestly, “When I tried to enter, they blocked my way and refused to let me in. They said it was the young lady’s order… anyone who wasn’t part of the Liu family or a guest of the Liu family wasn’t allowed inside. They even had people seize me. After that… well, after a round of friendly negotiations, things turned out the way they did.”
“Se… Aunt Jing, could it be that I was wrong?”
He had originally wanted to say “Senior” but one look from Liu Shijing made him swallow the word halfway through.
“You weren’t wrong, brat. Ever since Grandfather took control of the Liu family, it’s been declining step by step. Even though the current family head is technically my elder brother, he’s nothing more than a cold-blooded creature. And Jia Tianfeng uses the backing of her family to run rampant through the Liu family.”
Back when her older sister had not met with disaster, Liu Shijing might have suppressed Jia Tianfeng’s arrogant behavior. But now, the only emotional attachment she still had toward the Liu family was Granny Rong. As for all these troublesome matters, she no longer wanted to involve herself in them.
The two chatted casually for a few more moments before Chu Feng glanced toward the doorway.
“Sister Saintess still hasn’t come back yet?”
Earlier, Liu Xueyao had said she had something to take care of outside, but so much time had already passed and she still had not returned.
“She’ll probably be back soon. Brat, take the pill and refine it while you have the chance. I’ll stand guard for you.”
Liu Shijing did not think too much about it. The current Liu family had already fallen into decline. The only one capable of threatening Xueyao was the family’s old ancestor, but that old ancestor had always ignored worldly affairs. As for everyone else, they were not worth worrying about.
“Mhm, thank you, Se— Aunt Jing.”
Chu Feng opened the jade bottle and poured out a red medicinal pill. Its fragrance immediately spread through the air.
He swallowed it in one gulp. Unlike before, there was no bitter taste. If he carefully savored it, there was even a faint sweetness lingering within.

Liu Family, Medicine Hall.
“Mother, I absolutely cannot let that brat off lightly! Since he crippled me, I’ll strip out his bones and refine his soul!”
The young man’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke.
“That’s enough. Your skills were inferior, that’s all. If it had been a real life-and-death battle, you’d already be dead. Understand?”
Liu Tiancheng scolded him harshly. Everything that had happened during the ceremony today had completely humiliated him, especially Jia Tianfeng kneeling earlier. The matter had already spread throughout the clan.
“Hmph! Easy for you to say. In the end, you’re just afraid of your little sister!” Jia Tianfeng coldly snorted. “Your own son got crippled, and you didn’t even dare utter a word. What kind of man are you?!”
“Within a few days, my cousin will arrive. And when he comes, his master, Venerable Kuhai, will be coming as well. I refuse to believe Liu Shijing will still dare act so arrogantly then!”
What a lunatic woman.
The moment Liu Tiancheng heard that even an eighth-rank great cultivator would be arriving, he immediately understood. This woman definitely intended to avenge today’s humiliation. She might even target the Yaochi Saintess herself.
If things truly escalated that far, it could even alarm the Holy Master of Yaochi. And if the Holy Master personally intervened, then even the number one righteous sect would not casually involve itself. In front of those two colossal powers, the Liu family simply amounted to nothing.
“I hope you know your limits. If this matter truly blows up, then don’t blame me for divorcing you for the sake of the Liu family!”
After saying that, Liu Tiancheng flicked his sleeve and strode out.
Watching his figure disappear, Jia Tianfeng sneered coldly.
“For the sake of the Liu family? What a nice excuse. In the end, you only care about protecting that precious family head seat under your ass.”

Inside the room, besides a large bed, there was also a folding screen and a spacious bathing pool behind it. A large writing desk occupied quite a bit of space as well, with potted plants and porcelain decorations arranged around the room.
Liu Shijing, dressed in a thin light-green gown, sat on a chair with her right hand supporting the side of her face, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chu Feng as he sat there meditating with his eyes closed.
A moment later, Chu Feng finished refining the medicine and opened his eyes.
However… something felt strange.
His dantian was burning with heat, and throughout the refinement process, his mind had been filled with thoughts of Liu Shijing’s heavy, overwhelming curves.
“Brat, how do you feel?”
Hearing Aunt Jing’s voice, Chu Feng snapped back to his senses.
“Mhm, it’s been completely cleansed.”
Not only had the poison blocking his meridians been completely cleansed, but even the circulation speed of the true qi within his body had become much faster.
Chu Feng raised his head and looked toward Liu Shijing. His gaze unconsciously drifted toward her full chest, then along the lush curves of her waist and hips.
The memory of that sweet, honey-like kiss during the ceremony resurfaced in his mind…
Wait!
What the hell am I even thinking about?!
Chu Feng hurriedly shook his head, trying to keep his mind clear.
Seeing him cover his forehead with his hand, Liu Shijing asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“N-No, maybe today’s fight and refining the pill just made my body a little tired.”
Hearing that, Liu Shijing quickly walked over and leaned down slightly to examine his condition more carefully.
This is bad…
From this angle, those heavy, full curves were right before his eyes… fair, soft, and seemingly overflowing with warmth, so close they felt within reach.
As if possessed, Chu Feng slowly lifted his hand…
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem. Hmm? Brat, what are you doing?”
Liu Shijing had just finished checking him. The poison in his meridians had indeed been completely removed, but when she straightened up, she noticed the brat’s hand had been raised.
“N-Nothing…”
Chu Feng hurriedly pulled his hand back and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look toward those overwhelming curves again, afraid that if he wasn’t careful, he might really do something wrong.
But the moment he lowered his head, what entered his sight instead was her slender waist and her round, full hips, shaped like a perfect moon.
Chu Feng wanted to stand up, but the moment he rose slightly, he quickly sat back down again.
Because the evil force inside his body had already raised its head. If he stood up now, he would definitely expose himself.
“Brat, what exactly is wrong with you?”
Noticing something strange about him, Liu Shijing immediately cupped his cheeks with both hands. The current Chu Feng had bloodshot eyes, looking as though he was burning up with excess heat.
And even worse… the brat’s gaze was actually fixed on her… lips!
Liu Shijing: “!!!”
Her beautiful eyes widened as panic flashed across her face. She immediately let go of him and said the following:
“Brat, don’t get the wrong idea. What I did to you during the ceremony earlier was only because the situation forced me to. Don’t even think about making me… do it again!”
Chu Feng, meanwhile, was sitting there restlessly.
“N-No, that’s not it, Aunt Jing. I don’t even know what’s happening to me. Ever since refining the pill, I haven’t been able to control where my eyes wander…”
Liu Shijing blinked, hesitating slightly.
Refining the pill… unable to control himself…
Her gaze slowly shifted toward the jade bottle on the table.
Could it be… there was something wrong with the pill Xueyao had given him?
