Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Divine Brick save the day

Inside the Divine Brick

The air was filled with thick spiritual energy, as the surroundings had transformed into a paradise.

Lush greenery stretched as far as the eye could see, with plants and trees covering every inch of land.

But the most eye-catching sight was the towering tree that seemed to pierce the sky itself.

Flickers of light danced around its golden leaves, like tiny spirits playing in the wind.

At the top of the Divine Vitalis Soul Tree, Li Feng sat quietly on the wooden surface. He still looked miserable, one arm missing, his body battered and worn.

His gaze was distant as he stared blankly into the air.

Watching the flood of notifications granting him a massive amount of Favor Points,

Yet instead of joy…

He felt a hint of fear.

“You’re not broken… right, System?”

[Ding!]

[The System is functioning normally!]

“…I see.”

Slowly, a smile crept onto Li Feng’s face.

It spread wider… and wider… until even his eyes curved along with it.

He murmured softly.

“I didn’t expect such a small act of sacrifice to yield so much… that was unexpected.”

Just moments ago, during his fight with the Apostle, the notifications had already begun appearing.

At first, he thought nothing of it.

But as the numbers grew…

And grew…

Something in him shifted.

He had started pushing harder.

Fighting more recklessly and more explosively.

Not out of desperation… but calculation, to show Yue Lan his sacrifice.

…Still, one thing had gone beyond his expectations.

“I never intended for that thing to chase them that far…”

Li Feng muttered, his gaze darkening slightly.

“…but I also didn’t expect it to self-destruct half of its body.”

If not for the Divine Brick’s timely intervention, he would have been gone in that final explosion.

Li Feng tilted his head back slightly and spoke into the open space as his expression softening.

“Thank you… it seems you’ve been watching over me this whole time.”

“~”

The world around him stirred faintly in response.

Li Feng immediately recognized it as the Divine Brick’s way of acknowledging him… almost as if it were showing a hint of pride.

Li Feng chuckled softly as he understood.

The Divine Brick had always been observing him…. ready to intervene at any moment of real danger.

Whether to block… or to pull him into this space entirely.

That was how he had survived the Apostle’s self-destruction.

Li Feng couldn’t help but let out a quiet sigh.

“As expected of a Divine Weapon…”

Even without offensive capabilities, its indestructibility and teleportation alone were terrifying.

With it, he essentially possessed an absolute auto defense… and a guaranteed escape.

A slow grin crept onto his lips.

“With this… I can go even wilder in my fights.”

Li Feng grinned.

Just then, a branch lowered from above. Little Ling hovered down, clearly filled with concern as it circled around his missing left arm.

It had noticed the strange, dark energy lingering on Li Feng’s wound and something inside it stirred.

An unfamiliar emotion…that Little Ling couldn’t understand.

Then Li Feng’s casual voice broke the silence.

“Don’t worry. This is nothing. I already have a way to deal with it.”

He smiled, reassuring Little Ling.

As long as he engaged in dual cultivation with a partner, he could use that pure, healing energy to cleanse this strange, destructive force.

“Speaking of dual cultivation…”

Li Feng’s expression finally turned a little troubled.

In the current situation… there was only one woman near him.

Slowly, he turned his head.

Shui Ruo lay unconscious on a bed of golden leaves not far away.

Her voluptuous figure rested there like a sleeping princess.

Her long hair spread around her like silk, her face pale yet still breathtaking.

But this time, Li Feng didn’t look at her with lust… not yet.

Instead, his gaze was serious.

Shui Ruo’s expression was filled with pain, her brows tightly knit as if she was fighting something from within.

Unlike Li Feng, who possessed a powerful body strengthened by the Starforge Body, Shui Ruo was in a far worse condition.

Strange black veins spread across her skin, pulsing faintly.

And the wound showed no signs of stopping.

If not for Li Feng’s absolute control within this space, she might have already died.

Li Feng frowned.

To be honest, he hadn’t expected Shui Ruo to be dragged in here with him.

He himself had been confident as he had the Divine Brick.

But for Shui Ruo, that situation would have meant certain death.

So in that critical moment, he had grabbed her and escaped together, just before the Apostle was swallowed deeper into the darkness.

Right now, the Divine Brick was likely still floating somewhere within the underground ruins, buried beneath the collapsed prison.

Looking at that strange black vein on her arms,

“That energy is really strange…” Li Feng murmured.

He had already tried to remove it using his near-absolute control within this space.

But the energy behaved like a parasite.

A terrifying one at that as it had fused into her very cells and meridian.

He can forcefully removed it but her body would suffer even greater damage which is something she simply couldn’t endure in her already critical state.

So there was only one option left.

A method that could heal and purge at the same time… which is his dual cultivation technique.

His dual cultivation technique fit this situation perfectly as if it had been made for this exact moment.

Suddenly, Li Feng’s heart began to pound harder as his vitality surging once more to its peak.

It seemed his thoughts had lingered on that matter a little too long, as a faint redness creeping into his eyes as his gaze fell upon Shui Ruo.

From her slender waist… to the curve of her hips… and the rise of her huge chest beneath her tattered white robes….

“Haa…haa…”

His breathing grew heavier.

For a brief moment, something dangerous flickered within his gaze.

But then—

He gritted his teeth and shut his eyes tightly.

“…Damn it. That battle made my yang surge again.”

He let out a slow, restrained breath.

He had joked before about having an overflowing yang problem, but now it seemed to be becoming real.

Li Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit scared and… excited at the thought of upgrading even more stars in the future.

He was not a man who denied his desires.

He enjoyed women, enjoyed pleasure…. but he also had his own principles.

Li Feng know that if not for Shui Ruo earlier action, Yue Lan might have suffered a lot.

And that was a favor he wouldn’t forget.

More importantly… forcing a woman was never his style… especially not one already writhing in pain.

“Ughh…”

Shui Ruo’s brows knit together as a pained moan slipped past her lips.

Seeing this, Li Feng sighed again.

He took out a flawless grade rank 2 recovery pill and brought it to her lips.

His fingers brushed lightly against her soft, pink lips as he tried to feed it to her.

But Shui Ruo didn’t respond.

Her body instinctively rejected it as she couldn’t even swallow.

Li Feng frowned slightly.

“…Excuse me.”

Without further hesitation, he placed the pill into his own mouth, crushing it.

Then he leaned down as their lips met.

“Mmh…”

Shui Ruo’s lips remained closed at first, weakly resisting.

But in her fragile state, she couldn’t hold on for long.

Li Feng carefully pried her lips open….not rough, but firm.

Then guiding the crushed medicine into her mouth, he patiently helped her swallow, controlling the flow so it wouldn’t choke her.

Moments later, her throat finally moved.

A soft swallowing motion could be seen, only then did Li Feng pull back.

For a brief second, a thin strand of saliva stretched between them before breaking.

He exhaled quietly, his gaze turning steady once more.

“Sweet…”

Li Feng couldn’t help but murmur as he looked at this Waterflow Sect disciple with a strange expression.

He had already tasted Ye Shuang and Ling Lin… every inch of their body.

And because of that, he knew for certain…that the essence of those from the Waterflow Sect was strangely intoxicating.

It was the kind of sweetness that lingered.

The kind that made one feel like they could keep tasting it forever… and never grow tired of it.

Most cultivators experienced a transformation of their mortal bodies as they advanced in cultivation.

Their mortal bodies will gradually becoming more refined, more flawless to better suited and worthy to contain the Dao.

But based on his experience he noticed that depending on the cultivation technique…

Those changes could manifest in rather fascinating ways.

Like Shui Ruo’s fresh fragrance and subtle sweetness.

Fen Ziyan’s warmth…soft and comforting.

And Yue Lan’s cool, delicate softness.

Each one… distinct.

Each one… unforgettable.

Just as Li Feng was lost in his oddly serious “study” of such matters—

“Mhm…”

Shui Ruo’s expression began to ease.

The tension on her face softened as the effects of the pill slowly took hold.

But Li Feng didn’t look relieved.

Because he knew…this was only temporary.

With a quiet sigh, he settled down beside her, his gaze calm yet thoughtful as he waited for her to wake up.

But it didn’t take long before Li Feng’s serious expression broke into a grin as he stared at the amount of favor points he currently had.

It looked almost as if he had just won a big lottery, as that strange grin spreading across his face.

“Hehehe….”

A soft suspicious chuckle escaped him, and for a moment, it seemed to ripple through the air, scattering the golden light around them.

And then, Shui Ruo stirred.

“Huh…”

Shui Ruo’s beautiful blue eyes fluttered open.

For a moment, she blinked, taking in the surroundings…. the lush golden leaves, the gentle glow of the Divine Vitalis Soul Tree, and the strange, serene calm that filled the space.

“…Am I… in heaven?”
