Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, sizing up the middle-aged man before him. Although the man spoke with refinement and carried himself like a true gentleman, Chu Feng couldn’t shake the feeling that he was dangerous.
Spreading his hands with a shrug, Chu Feng said, “If you choose to believe that, then so be it.”
Once someone had already made up their mind about something, it was nearly impossible to change it, no matter how much you argued.
“Hehe. I’m well aware of Yunxiao’s talent in the Sword Dao. I never expected the next generation to surpass the last. At such a young age, little brother, you already possess such remarkable potential. Perhaps one day, you may even surpass me.”
Cao Yu praised him warmly. He himself was the youngest Seventh-Rank Elder to emerge from the Hundred Races Academy in the past thousand years.
Being praised so highly out of nowhere left Chu Feng feeling rather uncomfortable.
“Instructor, your praise is far too generous. I just remembered I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll have to excuse myself.”
As Chu Feng made to leave, Cao Yu called after him.
“Little brother, my name is Cao Yu. If you ever find yourself confused about the Sword Dao, you’re welcome to come see me at Sword Hall Number Nine.”
Without turning back, Chu Feng waved a hand.
“I’ll remember that, Instructor. Next time, for sure!”
Watching Chu Feng’s figure gradually disappear into the distance, Cao Yu smiled faintly. The next moment, his own figure vanished from where he stood, leaving behind a group of female students who had not yet had their fill.
Still, simply having caught a glimpse of the usually difficult-to-find Instructor Cao was more than enough to give them something to brag about for quite a long time.
Chu Feng left the Sword Cultivator Department and headed toward the teleportation array, intending to return to his residence.
As he reached a quieter stretch of the road, he spotted a graceful, alluring figure standing alone in a pavilion, seemingly waiting for him.
At first, Chu Feng looked puzzled. The woman seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t place her. It wasn’t until he drew closer that his eyes widened.
It was Sister Tiantian!
Only now had she hidden her fox ears and tail. She looked completely human.
The enchanting figure slowly stepped out of the pavilion. Her black-and-crimson dress accentuated her fair complexion and tall, elegant figure.
Her long black-and-red hair draped over her shoulders. Below her slender, snow-white neck was a pair of lush, fully matured breasts, while beneath her narrow waist rested a pair of full, shapely hips. Her exaggerated hourglass curves were so striking they looked as though they had stepped straight out of an artist’s fantasy.
Her long, voluptuous legs appeared and disappeared beneath the hem of her dress, the light fabric only serving to emphasize her perfectly ripened, breathtaking figure.
Although Chu Feng had slept pressed against Sister Tiantian countless times, seeing her in a fully human form still left him staring blankly for a moment before he finally came back to his senses.
Seeing the little rascal frozen in a daze, Su Tiantian’s crimson lips curved into a faintly seductive smile. Even with her demonic aura completely concealed, the allure lingering in her beautiful eyes was still enough to captivate anyone’s heart.
In the blink of an eye, Su Tiantian appeared before Chu Feng. Her slender finger lightly tapped the tip of his nose as she laughed softly.
“What is it? Seeing this Empress in this form has left you in a trance?”
Without her fluffy fox tail, the close distance between them made Su Tiantian’s flawless figure all the more overwhelming. She perfectly embodied the phrase “ample in all the right places”. Her voluptuous curves carried an almost crushing presence, leaving Chu Feng feeling as though he could barely breathe.
He looked at her flawless, bewitching face, then at the ample curves that her dress could barely contain, and finally at her full, rounded hips. Such a mature, devastating beauty was truly a rarity beneath the heavens.
He instinctively took half a step back.
The visual impact was simply too overwhelming.
He needed a moment.
“It’s my first time seeing you in this form, Sister Tiantian. I… lost my composure for a bit.”
Hearing the little rascal’s words, a deeply seductive smile blossomed in Su Tiantian’s beautiful eyes.
The moment Chu Feng met her gaze, his entire body froze. His mind shook violently, and a dazed expression crept across his face.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had previously taken a Clear Mind Pill, and Su Tiantian’s demon core still resided within him. Just as his consciousness was on the verge of being completely swept away, a sliver of clarity returned to his mind.
A moment ago, he had actually felt the urge to kneel beneath Sister Tiantian’s skirts, vowing to become the Demon Empress’s most loyal and obedient little puppy.
Su Tiantian stepped closer until she was right in front of him. Pinching the soft flesh of his cheek between her slender fingers, she parted her crimson lips and said,
“Then how about spending a few more nights alone with this Empress? Once enough time passes, you’ll naturally get used to this appearance of mine.”
Her alluring eyes narrowed into crescents.
“And…” she purred, “this Empress will even allow you to do all the things you’ve always wanted to do.”
Chu Feng’s expression stiffened.
Just now, he had almost nodded and agreed on the spot.
Fortunately, he managed to swallow the words before they left his mouth.
Spending a few more nights alone with Sister Tiantian?
Putting aside Saintess Sister and Aunt Jing, Senior Sister Yuyan would probably go berserk on the spot.
Chu Feng had already figured it out.
Senior Sister Yuyan and Sister Tiantian simply did not get along.
“Sister Tiantian… let’s talk about that another day. Another day.”
Once his cultivation reached the point where he could suppress all of his older sisters, that would be the day he could truly do whatever he wanted!
As for now…
He’d better continue being their obedient plaything.
Chu Feng had completely accepted his fate.
“Very well. We’ll do as my little rascal says… another day~”
Su Tiantian revealed an enigmatic smile, as though her words carried a deeper meaning.
Her fingers released his cheek, glided gently across his face, and finally came to rest beneath his chin, lightly lifting it. Her fox-like eyes, filled with playful amusement, gazed at him as she said,
“Then for now, why don’t you accompany this Empress somewhere?”
“Where?”
With tremendous willpower, Chu Feng deliberately avoided looking into Sister Tiantian’s eyes, afraid that one more glance would make him lose himself again.
“A wonderful place,” Su Tiantian said with a soft laugh. “I guarantee my little rascal will be satisfied.”
She took his hand in her slender jade fingers, and the two of them vanished from where they stood.
***
Within the Hundred Races Academy.
“You two are disciples sent by the Myriad Saint Palace. Although our Hundred Races Academy has some ties with your sect, that doesn’t mean we would refuse you entry.”
Having just finished receiving Chu Feng, Fen Yan was immediately given another assignment by the Vice Dean. That was to welcome two disciples from the Myriad Saint Palace.
The Hundred Races Academy reserved one special admission slot every century for each first-rate faction, while superpowers were allotted two. Unused slots expired and could not be accumulated.
This was the first time the Myriad Saint Palace had ever exercised that privilege, which came as something of a surprise to the academy.
Standing before the Hundred Races Academy, Lin Ruo and Li Jiuye had completely different reactions.
Lin Ruo was filled with excitement. It wasn’t just because the Heavenly Dao Monument was here, but because this had always been a place he had long dreamed of entering.
Li Jiuye, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent. Back during the era of the Heaven-Swallowing Great Emperor, he had visited the Hundred Races Academy many times. As for the Heavenly Dao Monument, he had already seen it before.
Li Jiuye had volunteered to come to the Hundred Races Academy this time. The Heavenly Dao Monument was only a secondary objective. His true goal was the summit of Heavenly Dao Mountain.
He had a strong premonition that the mountaintop definitely held clues about attaining immortality.
Otherwise, after the Human Emperor had descended from the summit all those years ago, he would never have uttered those words:
“The immortal path has been severed. Ascension is no more.”
Fen Yan looked at Lin Ruo and Li Jiuye before asking,
“Have the two of you decided which department you’d like to join?”
“The Sword Cultivator Department!”
The two answered in perfect unison.
After speaking, they instinctively glanced at each other.
Lin Ruo had chosen it because he had resolved to devote himself wholeheartedly to the Sword Dao. The next time he met Chu Feng, he would defeat him with the sword!
As for Li Jiuye, he suspected that perhaps it was because the Human Emperor had been a sword cultivator that he had successfully reached the summit. It was even possible that the Sword Cultivator Department concealed one of the Human Emperor’s secret inheritances.
