Chu Feng smelled the scent of a conspiracy that targeted Liu Xueyao. There was no way he could just sit back and do nothing. After all, it was Liu Xueyao who had saved his life.
He coughed a few times, then straightened up with a serious expression.
Holding a fishing rod, he struck the pose of a secretive master. After all, wasn’t it Jiang Ziya who caught the attention of King Wen of Zhou while fishing and eventually rose to the top? Now, only the Great Emperor He could rival that feat!
This just goes to show…. when it comes to a fisherman, they can hook far more than just fish!
“Hmm, tell me the detailed plan,” Chu Feng said in a low voice.
The man in black took one look at the person in front of him and immediately realized this was no ordinary figure.
Despite being at the fourth rank cultivation level himself, he couldn’t sense the slightest fluctuation of true qi from this man. That meant only one of two things: either the man had no cultivation at all, or… he was a true powerhouse.
Since Elder Zhou was the one who found this helper, there was no doubt….he must be a true powerhouse.
“Big Brother, I came here precisely to discuss the plan with you. Elder Zhou has already made all the arrangements, and the goods you requested have also been captured.”
“Huh? Mm! Very good! I’m quite satisfied,” Chu Feng nodded.
As for what the man meant by “goods”? He had no idea. Maybe spirit stones or magical artifacts? That’s usually what it was. Could it be… women?
In any case, the important thing now was to get more information.
“What’s the next step in the plan?”
Chu Feng shifted slightly, trying to hear the man in black more clearly.
The man in black said, “According to disciples who returned from the Sky Mending Secret Realm, it seems that the Saintess has acknowledged someone as her husband. Someone named Chu Feng. It’s said that the reason she looked for alchemists was for him. Elder Zhou said, if you’re not confident about knocking out the Saintess, then just capture Chu Feng instead and lure the Saintess into the trap.”
The more Chu Feng listened, the more his eyelids twitched. Damn it! They had gathered such detailed information. Not only was Liu Xueyao a target, but now he himself was on the list!
Good thing he came out to fish today. Otherwise, he would’ve been completely unaware of such a plot.
“Capture Chu Feng? How do you plan to keep Chu Feng from resisting without alerting the Saintess?”
Chu Feng questioned him sternly.
The man in black looked a little puzzled and said, “Big Brother, you’re an alchemist. You should have some kind of knockout pill, right?”
What!? The person the man in black is talking to is supposed to be an alchemist!?
He hadn’t known that. What a blunder!
Damn it, he was about to blow his cover… wait, got it!
Chu Feng feigned anger and said,
“As an alchemist, how could I possibly stoop so low as to make such low-grade pills!?”
Hearing that the young man in front of him was getting angry, the man in black immediately panicked.
“Please calm down, Big Brother, calm down!”
The man in black didn’t dare say anything more. If he angered this alchemist, Elder Zhou would probably skin him alive.
“Big Brother, if you don’t have one, I happen to have something myself.”
As he spoke, the man in black took out a pill.
Chu Feng reached out and took it. It was a yellow pill, cool to the touch. He asked, “What is this?”
The man in black explained, “Big Brother, this is a Bewildering Beast Pill. As the name suggests, even a fierce beast with a powerful body would collapse after taking just one.”
Hearing that, a thought popped into Chu Feng’s mind. He smiled and asked,
“If it’s as you say, then what would happen if you took this pill?”
The man in black answered honestly, “Big Brother, I’d be out cold in less than three breaths. The medicinal power of this pill is very strong. It’ll definitely leave that Chu Feng unable to resist at all.”
Staring at the pill in his hand, Chu Feng was secretly overjoyed. If it could knock him out, then that was perfect!
A plan began to form in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more the corners of his mouth curled up. His expression gradually turned sinister, his smile becoming increasingly twisted.
Cough cough! Let’s just scratch that last line!
“Alright then. I can see you’ve had a tough time, and as it happens, I’m in a good mood today. I’ll give you a little test. If you get the answer right, I’ll reward you with a pill that can boost your cultivation.”
No one could resist the temptation of a pill that could increase cultivation.
“Big Brother! Really?”
“You and I are on the same side. One of us would never lie to the other!”
Chu Feng patted his chest confidently and said this with conviction. Though in his heart, he silently added, “The statement itself was true, but you and I are not on the same side!”
Hearing this, the man in black was overjoyed. His expression turned grateful as he said, “Many thanks, Big Brother!”
Chu Feng cleared his throat and said,
“Here’s your question: chickens go cluck cluck, so what sound do ducks make?”
Hearing such a simple question, the man in black was thrilled.
“Big Brother, that’s easy. Ducks go quack quack quack!”
Perfect timing!
Chu Feng seized the moment and quickly shoved the pill into the man’s mouth.
Then, Chu Feng chuckled and clapped his hands.
“Congratulations! You got the answer right. Here’s your reward…one pill.”
The man in black grabbed at his throat, trying to force the pill back out. But the pill he’d given Chu Feng was just too effective! It melted the instant it touched his tongue!
In the end, the man in black glared unwillingly at Chu Feng before collapsing stiffly to the ground.
Chu Feng was very pleased with the result.
He crouched down and picked up a nearby stick, poking the man to see if he’d respond.
“Hey! Hey!”
Seeing that the man didn’t move at all, Chu Feng tossed the stick aside, packed up his fishing rod, and then rolled up his sleeves.
“Heave-ho! Damn, he’s heavy!”
Just like that, Chu Feng hoisted the man in black onto his back and hurried back to his cave residence.
He needed to tell Liu Xueyao about this right away!
He hadn’t expected the man in black to be so stupid. He actually fell for such a simple trick.
***
In the core area of the Yaochi Holy Land, inside a high-level cave residence, a beautiful woman in green robes blushed as she stared at the recording stone.
When she saw herself shamelessly leaning in for a greedy kiss at the end, it was as if steam burst from the top of her head, like a boiling kettle.
And it wasn’t just her….Xueyao had also looked completely lovestruck, hugging that brat’s face and leaving deep red marks with her bites.
If the people from the Cultivation Daily got wind of this, there might be a headline like, “Shocking! A beautiful aunt from Yaochi Holy Land and her niece, the Saintess, spent the night drunk in a young boy’s cave residence!”
Even though Liu Shijing had watched this recording more than once over the past few days, every time she did, her face flushed red and her breathing quickened.
Liu Shijing gritted her teeth and said each word clearly: “That! Little! Brat!”
She had come to realize that she and Chu Feng were like destined rivals. Not only had he randomly grabbed her once, but in the end, they had skipped right past holding hands, hugging, and kissing…they humped straight to the final step. And even worse, she had been the one to take the initiative.
Thinking back to that drunken night, she hadn’t had the slightest guard up against Chu Feng.
Could it be… just because they had been intimate once, she was starting to like him? No way!
Liu Shijing shook her head, rejecting such a ridiculous idea.
She had lived for over a hundred years. What kind of man hadn’t she seen before?
Chu Feng was just a brat who hadn’t even fully grown up yet. Hmph… Though he did seem to reach straight into her soul.
As that thought crossed her mind, a familiar tingling sensation spread through her body.
Liu Shijing’s long legs began to grow restless.
