High above, as far as the eye could see, the view was exceptionally vast. Layers of clouds piled atop one another like towering mountain peaks, joining together into an endless mountain range that stood majestic and imposing, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
A spirit boat cut through the sea of clouds like a flying arrow.
The boat itself was not large, but it could comfortably accommodate seven or eight people.
At the front was an open deck furnished with tables, chairs, and refreshments. Thanks to the formations engraved upon the spirit boat, the fierce winds of the high altitude had no effect whatsoever on those on deck.
Toward the rear was a small pavilion, from which came the sound of women chatting, their voices clear and melodious, exceptionally pleasant to the ear.
Chu Feng sat alone on the deck, taking an occasional sip of tea as he gazed at the sea of clouds before him, contemplating the meaning of life.
After waking up from his sleep, his waist was sore, his back ached, and his entire body felt drained.
Beautiful women were like fine wine. Once tasted, they left an unforgettable aftertaste. But sometimes, drinking to excess was not such a good idea.
According to Senior Sister Yuyan, the Hundred Races Academy was the greatest academy in the cultivation world, having produced countless renowned experts over the years.
As for him, because he was already a disciple of the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect and had a master, he could only enroll at the Hundred Races Academy as a temporary student. In other words, he could stay for no more than four years, after which he would have to leave.
Perfect. He could take the opportunity to study properly and finally learn how to read.
“…Haah.”
He let out a sigh, using tea in place of wine. The bitter drink slid down his throat, and his heart ached all the same.
Part of the reason was Lin Ruo and Li Jiuye. Ever since their last confrontation, he hadn’t heard a single word about either of them. The only thing he knew was that they had both joined the Myriad Saints Palace.
The other reason was…
When would he finally be able to stand up again?!
This was outrageous!
With a creak, the pavilion door swung open. Bai Yuyan, dressed in a flowing pink robe, walked over and took a seat beside Chu Feng. A gentle smile rested upon her beautiful face.
“Junior Brother, what are you thinking about?”
While Su Tiantian and the Holy Master of Yaochi were busy sulking at each other, she intended to seize this opportunity to rebuild her image as a graceful, gentle lady in her junior brother’s heart.
After all, she was his kind and considerate senior sister, devoted to taking care of her adorable little junior brother.
“Senior Sister Yuyan… do you think I’ll ever be able to truly defeat Lin Ruo?”
From being completely outmatched at first to eventually gaining the upper hand, every time Chu Feng had the chance to end Lin Ruo’s life, something unexpected always happened. In the end, things inevitably fizzled out without a conclusion.
So this was what it meant to be a Child of Fortune…
Sometimes, you simply had to believe in luck. Some people pulled the top prize on a single draw, while others had to go all the way to hard pity.
Seeing the lost look on her little junior brother’s face, Bai Yuyan froze for a moment.
It reminded her of their previous life.
Back then, her little junior brother had often worn the same expression of uncertainty, saying things like, “As expected… it’s almost impossible to defeat a Child of Fortune.”
At the time, she hadn’t understood what her little junior brother had meant by those words. It wasn’t until she was reborn and met Lin Ruo once again that she saw the fortune surrounding him. In that instant, a sense of despair washed over her. He was almost impossible to defeat…it would not have been an exaggeration to call him a favored child of the Heavenly Dao.
However, this time was different from their previous life.
Looking at the little junior brother beside her, Bai Yuyan saw that he too now carried the favor of the Heavenly Dao.
Chu Feng suddenly felt a warmth envelop his hand. Turning his head, he saw that Senior Sister Yuyan had gently taken it in hers.
“No matter what happens,” she said softly, “I’ll always stand by your side, Little Junior Brother. I’ll never betray you. Besides… who will win and who will lose is still far from certain.”
Seeing the unwavering determination in her eyes, Chu Feng clasped her hand in return.
“You’re right, Senior Sister Yuyan.”
The touched expression on her little junior brother’s face filled Bai Yuyan with delight. Just as she was about to further reinforce her image as the perfect senior sister in his heart, an untimely voice interrupted them.
“Little rascal, what are you two talking about?”
The seductive voice came from behind them. Chu Feng turned around.
“Sister Tiantian!”
The fox woman was dressed in an elegant black palace gown that accentuated her fair skin. Her ample bosom stretched the front of the dress taut, while her long, shapely legs were temptingly revealed beneath the swaying hem with every step she took.
“You two seem to be having such an enjoyable conversation. I wonder if this Empress might be allowed to listen in as well.”
That was what she said, but her actions were anything but polite. Su Tiantian confidently squeezed onto the same chair as Chu Feng, pressing her soft, voluptuous curves snugly against his body.
“Little Junior Brother, do you know anything about foxes?” Bai Yuyan shot Su Tiantian a cold glance before saying softly, “The thing foxes love most is sneaking off to steal what belongs to someone else.”
“Oh? My apologies, Your Majesty the Demon Empress. I almost forgot that your true form is a fox. I hope you won’t take offense.”
Bai Yuyan smiled sweetly.
Su Tiantian naturally understood exactly what Bai Yuyan was implying.
She was referring to her stealing away her little junior brother.
But in Su Tiantian’s opinion, this wasn’t stealing at all.
Narrowing her eyes into a smile, she replied, “You’re right. Some of the little foxes in my clan do enjoy sneaking around and stealing things. But that doesn’t include this Empress. I don’t like stealing…”
“…I prefer to take things openly.”
As she spoke, she affectionately wrapped herself around her little rascal’s arm.
In an instant, his arm vanished into an impossibly soft embrace.
Su Tiantian merely smiled indifferently before casting a disdainful glance at Bai Yuyan’s… chest.
As an E-rank powerhouse, she had every right to look down on the competition.
Even D-rank experts had to yield before her overwhelming advantage.
A sharp glint flashed through Bai Yuyan’s beautiful eyes. Her chest rose and fell with indignation.
Although the movement was impressive enough on its own, compared to Su Tiantian’s, it still came up noticeably short.
“Heh. Your Majesty the Demon Empress, you’d better be careful. When you get older, they’ll start to sag.”
“Thank you for your concern,” Su Tiantian replied with a smile. “But this Empress is a Ninth Rank cultivator. As long as I wish it, thousands of years from now I’ll still look exactly the same.”
She even straightened her back on purpose, causing the very source of her boundless confidence to sway ever so slightly.
Seeing the tension in the air grow thicker by the second and practically crackling with sparks…Chu Feng hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.
“Sister Tiantian, Senior Sister Yuyan… I suddenly feel a little hungry. Why don’t we eat first?”
He really had no better excuse.
There was no way someone of his current strength could stop these two if they seriously started clashing.
Ninth Rank cultivators…
How many years would it take before he reached that level?
Su Tiantian and Bai Yuyan shot each other one last icy glance before simultaneously turning their heads away.
For high-level cultivators, preparing a meal was effortless.
Moments later, the table was covered with a lavish spread of delicious dishes.
Each of the two women had prepared several dishes of her own.
Su Tiantian picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and held it to Chu Feng’s lips.
“Little rascal, give it a try.”
Chu Feng took a bite, and an explosion of flavor filled every one of his taste buds.
“It’s delicious!”
“If you like it, then eat more.”
Watching her little rascal enjoy the meal she had personally cooked, Su Tiantian’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she smiled happily.
“Little rascal, why don’t you stay by this Empress’s side forever? Then you’ll have delicious meals every day… and if you want, you can even eat this Empress too~”
“Fox meat doesn’t taste very good. It’s gamey.”
Bai Yuyan snorted before placing a piece of food into her little junior brother’s bowl.
“Little Junior Brother, try your senior sister’s cooking.”
Chu Feng picked it up and took a bite.
The moment the food touched his tongue, his eyes widened.
It wasn’t just because it tasted wonderful.
It was because the flavor reminded him of the meals from his hometown… from before he had transmigrated into this world.
Clack.
He gently set his chopsticks down across his bowl and let out a quiet sigh.
“Little rascal, what’s wrong?”
“I… suddenly miss my hometown.”
“Is that so? Where is your hometown? This Empress can take you back anytime.”
“…I can’t go back anymore.”
A bitter smile appeared on Chu Feng’s face.
He wondered if, after cultivating to the legendary realm of an Immortal, he might be able to return.
Bai Yuyan gently took her little junior brother’s hand and slowly drew him into her embrace.
A C-cup could still be remarkably comforting.
“Little Junior Brother, your senior sister will always be by your side.”
“Thank you… Senior Sister.”
Chu Feng wrapped an arm around her slender waist in return.
In this cold world, only the warmth of another person’s heart could bring even a trace of comfort.
Bai Yuyan secretly glanced over at Su Tiantian.
Hmph. So what if her figure was better?
She was the one winning over her little junior brother’s heart.
