Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Fen Ziyan (3)

Soon, they arrived at Li Feng’s residence and stepped inside.

The door closed behind them with a soft thud.

Fen Ziyan stood in the middle of Li Feng’s residence, her tall, proud, and beautiful figure look seemingly out of place in the old room. Her crimson eyes darted around the modest but tidy space before finally lowering to rest on the single bed.

“…It is quite small,” she muttered.

Li Feng chuckled softly, guiding her toward a chair. “Well, it’s not as grand as your high-class residence, but I find this place satisfying enough. Sit. Rest your legs.”

Fen Ziyan’s face grew gloomy as she sat down, also realizing that she had been kicked out of her place and was now essentially homeless. While she could apply to the sect for a new normal residence, as a proud princess, she really didn’t want to show her disgrace to others.

Li Feng poured her a cup of tea and slid it across the table with a casual smile. “Drink. It’s nothing special, but it should make you feel better.” Then he sat down across from her.

Fen Ziyan accepted the cup and took a slow sip, her expression stiffening slightly.

“…So bitter.”

Li Feng didn’t mind her comment. He knew someone like Fen Ziyan was probably used to nothing but high-quality spiritual teas and rare ingredients.

For a moment, silence filled the room, only the occasional echo of teacups.

Fen Ziyan seemed quite embarrassed as her hand fidgeted around the teacup. After showing Li Feng such a disgraceful appearance, now that she was somewhat herself again, she didn’t know how to start the conversation.

Unbeknownst to her, she was starting to feel subconsciously aware of Li Feng.

’How cute.’ , Li Feng thought, quietly enjoying the sight of Fen Ziyan’s awkward expression as she didn’t dare meet his eyes.

After a moment, he decided to speak first.

Leaning slightly on the table, his expression turned serious. “….Senior Sister Fen, I know why you’ve been stuck. It’s because you actually have a special physique.”

Fen Ziyan’s breath caught as she suddenly heard this, her eyes widening in surprise.

“…Special physique?”

But she couldn’t help but feeling doubtful. From what she knew, special physiques were extremely rare, and even a low-grade one was enough to mark someone as a top genius. Yet for her… instead of making her stronger, it had become a bottleneck.

“Are you sure?” Fen Ziyan asked, her doubt clear in her voice. Then, worried Li Feng might take it the wrong way, she hurriedly added, “I-I don’t mean to doubt you, but it’s just…”

Li Feng understood exactly what she meant and smiled. “It’s because your special physique hasn’t awakened yet. That’s why you’ve been struggling to break through.”

He took a sip from his teacup, allowing Fen Ziyan to digest the information.

Upon hearing this, Fen Ziyan finally enlightened and realized her core problem.

“So that’s why… it’s not that I’m not talented.” Relief washed over her; she had been doubting herself for so long, starting to believe she was just trash but finally knowing the cause now…truly make her feel relief.

Then Fen Ziyan realized another problem and hesitantly asked, “This… how do you know about it?”

She had been examined by countless Elders, but no one had ever discovered her special physique. How could Li Feng know? The thought made her both curious and uneasy.

Li Feng finally decided it was time for another act then he put on a hesitant expression, as if weighing whether to reveal something important. Finally, as if making up his mind, he said,

“Senior Sister Fen… this concerns one of my biggest secrets, but for you… I don’t mind sharing it. Actually, I received an inheritance by chance from a powerful cultivator. And within that inheritance… there is some knowledge about special physiques.”

“Eh? This…” Fen Ziyan couldn’t help but be surprised again. She hadn’t expected Li Feng to reveal such a secret to her. Opportunity like this was a cultivator’s greatest secret, something most wouldn’t even share with their close companions.

And yet, he was willing to go this far for her…now she start to feel bad for keep doubting him.

“This is… why are you going so far for me?” she asked softly, avoiding his gaze. “I… I have nothing to offer now, since the Dynasty has cut off all my support.”

Li Feng smiled faintly, his tone filled with reminiscence about the past.

“You may not know this, Senior Sister Fen, but ever since I joined the sect, there were countless times I wanted to give up. My talent was poor, my progress slow… and every day felt like an endless struggle. Until I saw you. You stood proud, never bending, walking forward with belief and confidence in yourself. To me, you were like the sun, burning so brightly that even a nobody like me could feel its warmth in this cold, harsh world….You gave me the motivation to keep going.”

Then Li Feng stood up and went to Fen Ziyan side and grab her hand and with a sincere tone he could muster, “That’s why you must always stand tall and proud. Please, believe in yourself… and continue looking down on the world, just like before.”

Fen Ziyan’s crimson eyes widened. For a moment, her body froze as warmth spread from his hand into hers. His words cut deep, shaking the doubts she had harbored about herself for so long.

Her chest tightened. Hearing Li Feng speak with such sincerity and righteous words, she gritted her teeth as shame washed over her. She had fallen so low, weak, doubtful at everything even suspecting his intentions, while all this time, he had been secretly admiring her.

Fen Ziyan suddenly slapped her cheek with one hand, as if to wake herself up, then bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, causing her deep cleavage to unintentionally revealed to Li Feng. She spoke solemnly, her voice trembling slightly, “To think Junior Brother Li is willing to go so far for me, and I still doubted… I am truly sorry. And there’s no need to worry about your secret. I swear upon the Dao itself that I won’t reveal it to anyone! ”

Li Feng, who had been staring intently into her white vastness, hearing her words, smiled even more and controlled his rising desire. And solemnly, he replied, “There’s no need for that, Senior Sister Fen. Let’s just focus on discussing your problem, and actually…. there is a problem.”

Fen Ziyan’s crimson eyes lifted to his, worry flickering within them. “Tell me,” she urged.

Li Feng, seeing those burning eyes again, smiled satisfactorily as Fen Ziyan finally seemed to awaken from her vulnerable state somewhat.

“….The thing is, even though I know it’s a special physical problem, I don’t know which kind it is. So I need your cooperation to make sure and discover your physique.”

Fen Ziyan hurriedly nodded. “Yes! I’ll cooperate!” She grasped his hand even tighter.

No one could know just how desperate someone could be after hitting their lowest point, only to be given a second chance.

Now, Fen Ziyan was willing to do anything to break through.

Good spirit. It’s nothing too serious as I just need to use a secret technique of mine to inspect you.” Li Feng pulled a chair closer, sat next to her, and gently took her hand.

“This…?” Fen Ziyan tilted her head slightly, curious as he held her hand.

“I’ll be using an observation technique from my inheritance…”

Then his thumb traced along her palm, pressing lightly against sensitive points as though feeling the flow of qi. On the outside, he appeared to be seriously trying to observe, but inwardly, he thought, ’So soft. So this is the hand of a princess? Tsk, even her hand is like this. That means the …rest is even softer.’

*glup*

Li Feng suddenly swallowed hard, his eyes inadvertently drifting to the ample curve of her chest in front of him.

Fen Ziyan thought there was something wrong and asked worriedly, “…Do you… know what it is?”

Li Feng paused, appearing reluctant, then gave a small nod. “Yes… But to confirm it, I’ll need to observe more… feel how your qi reacts across your body. Only then will I know for certain, so I will need to… touch your shoulder. Is that okay?”

Fen Ziyan’s answer was immediate, unhesitating. “Please, do it.”

Suppressing his smirk, Li Feng moved behind her, his hands resting on her shoulders. His thumbs pressed into her tense muscles, kneading gently, sending shivers down her spine.

“Relax… let my qi guide into your body,” he murmured, while secretly admiring the view as he stared at her cleavage from above.

Meanwhile, Fen Ziyan’s eyes fluttered half-closed as she sank into the sensation, completely unaware of Li Feng’s lewd grin behind her.

For the first time in days, her tense body finally began to relax under Li Feng’s massage and the flowing qi.

“…This is… quite comfortable,” she muttered, feeling the tightness in her shoulders slowly release.

“That’s right… relax and open all your meridians. Let the qi flow through you,” Li Feng whispered softly, continuing to work with his hands.

Gradually, he began sliding the edge of her shoulder cloth slowly aside …. exposing her pale, delicate skin.
