Chapter 262: Chapter 189: Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill 2

Besides, he didn’t believe Gongsun Jinghong was truly interested in him.

Was it just because of his good looks? That was too much of a stretch. She was a Commandery Princess—what kind of handsome man couldn’t she find?

However, if she had specific criteria—like needing a handsome Poison Cultivator—then that was indeed a scarce commodity…

“I appreciate the Commandery Princess’s high opinion of me, but I already have a family!”

No matter what, he had to refuse first. When things were this unusual, there had to be a catch. He couldn’t just drop his pants right away, could he?

Zou Feng wasn’t that casual of a man.

Gongsun Jinghong wasn’t angered by Zou Feng’s firm rejection. Instead, she continued to explain, “To be honest, I have been searching for a suitable dual cultivation partner, purely for the sake of practicing this skill…”

As she spoke, Gongsun Jinghong flicked her hand and tossed him a manual.

Zou Feng reached out and caught it. When he saw the cover, he thought for a moment that she had thrown him some sort of adult-only book.

*Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill*?

Zou Feng’s brows furrowed deeply.

If Gongsun Jinghong were already on the List of Gods, he wouldn’t have believed a single word she said.

The problem was, Gongsun Jinghong was indeed not on the list. So it was entirely possible that she was being serious…

And as it happened, Zou Feng had been looking for a Dual Cultivation Skill. After all, he and Tian Yun often engaged in… intense battles. If he could cultivate at the same time, nothing could be better.

He just didn’t understand. As a member of the Royal Family, Gongsun Jinghong must have access to top-tier Cultivation Skills. Why would she insist on practicing a dual cultivation technique?!

Gongsun Jinghong knew Zou Feng was full of questions, and without waiting for him to ask, she took the initiative to explain.

The reason for her patience was that the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill required the other party’s full cooperation. There could be no mistakes during the process, or all their efforts would be for naught.

Otherwise, Gongsun Jinghong wouldn’t have bothered with so many words; she would have just forced herself on him.

According to her, she wanted to cultivate this skill because she had discovered that her own potential was exhausted.

To put it bluntly, the Third Grade was the limit of what she could achieve. The hope of climbing any higher was incredibly slim.

Although many experts in the Royal Family had tried to persuade her, telling her that she was just overthinking things and that with her Talent, it was impossible for her potential to be exhausted.

Having reached the Third Grade Realm at such a young age, even if she spent several more decades grinding, she would eventually be able to raise her Realm.

But Gongsun Jinghong was used to being willful and didn’t believe these claims at all.

She only trusted her own judgment.

’Even if I really could spend another thirty or forty years to grind my way to the Second Grade, what would be the use? In the end, I still wouldn’t be able to take that final step…’

That was why Gongsun Jinghong had searched everywhere for a method to defy the heavens and change her fate.

The final answer was this Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill.

Although, in the eyes of Righteous Dao Martial Artists, this Skill was unequivocally an Evil Skill…

However, even after obtaining the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill, Gongsun Jinghong had been plagued by the lack of a suitable dual cultivation partner.

It could only be said that her devotion to the Dao was not yet absolute, as she simply could not bring herself to accept a partner she found unappealing.

She had finally found a Martial Champion Scholar of her generation who was decent-looking and had enough potential to soon advance to a High Grade, but he turned out to be trash.

If she really cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with such a person who was all show and no substance, the results would be far from optimal.

Zou Feng, on the other hand, had killed Yuwen Boxi while only at the Fifth Grade Realm. His potential was immense, even limitless.

And after personally testing him just now, Gongsun Jinghong was even more satisfied.

“Rest assured, the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill is not a one-sided replenishment. It brings great benefits to both parties.”

“After cultivating to a certain Realm, it can even change your fate.”

Zou Feng believed the part about changing one’s fate.

’Sleeping with a Commandery Princess would definitely change my fate, all right…’

“Heh… To think that the renowned Princess Zhuque of the Great Yan Dynasty would resort to such deceptive tricks!”

Hearing this, Bian Yixia couldn’t hold back any longer.

’This Princess Zhuque is really something else. How can she speak so righteously about something as sordid as lusting after someone’s body?’

’And that claim about both sides benefiting? Is she trying to fool a three-year-old? It has to be replenishment!’

What left her most speechless was that Zou Feng didn’t reject the offer decisively as he had before. Instead, he had started to seriously flip through the *Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill*.

“May I ask, if we’re talking about suitable candidates, why doesn’t the Commandery Princess seek out Zhang Xun of the Xuanhuang Sect, or Li Dingjie of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect?”

“Those two are geniuses on par with you!”

Bian Yixia questioned her, using the opportunity to remind Zou Feng that there was definitely something wrong with this situation.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Jinghong replied without a change in expression, “They’re too ugly. I can’t accept it!”

This retort choked Bian Yixia, leaving her momentarily at a loss for words.

Next, Gongsun Jinghong ignored Bian Yixia and turned back to Zou Feng. “Zou Feng, what do you think?”

“With your strength, you should be able to understand the value of the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill!”

Zou Feng slowly closed the manual.

Just as Gongsun Jinghong had said, there was really something to this Cultivation Skill.

Although he had never seen other Dual Cultivation Skills, the fact that Gongsun Jinghong valued the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill so highly was proof enough that this Skill was a top-tier masterpiece among its kind.

Zou Feng had to admit that he was indeed tempted, but…

“The Cultivation Skill is good, but I have no intention of becoming a Prince Consort.” Of course, Zou Feng couldn’t let his little head make the decisions.

He was already a rebel, and his father-in-law, Gongsun Ye, wanted to kill him. What kind of Prince Consort could he possibly be?

Hearing this, Gongsun Jinghong shook her head. “There’s no need to get married. We just need to fulfill each other’s needs!”

’So, I get to reap all the benefits without taking any responsibility!?’

’Gongsun Jinghong’s name still hasn’t appeared on the List of Gods. This woman is for real…’

The corner of Zou Feng’s mouth twitched. He still subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he found that he had no reason left to do so.

Besides, even though Gongsun Jinghong had seemed very easy to talk to so far, if he refused no matter what, it was hard to say what would happen next.

Although he was now confident he could take on a Third Grade cultivator, who could guarantee that the outcome of such a clash would be what he expected?

’Oh, what the hell. If I don’t descend into hell, who will?’

’It’s all for the sake of climbing to the peak of the Martial Dao and achieving immortality. What’s a small sacrifice in comparison!’

“In that case, it would be rude to refuse the Commandery Princess’s welcoming gift!”

The Demon Spider leader deep in the Forest Sea was definitely a great gift for Zou Feng, and he didn’t want to miss out on it either.

Hearing Zou Feng agree, Gongsun Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.

After all, it seemed like Zou Feng was the only one benefiting. The problem was, anyone who encountered such a good deal—practically a pie falling from the sky—would naturally suspect something was wrong and hesitate to make a decision.

And if Zou Feng had refused to the death, then even if she had used force to coerce him, it would have been meaningless.

The Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill required both parties to cooperate willingly and actively to achieve the desired effect. Using force clearly went against the cultivation method.

But of course, Gongsun Jinghong wasn’t just going to take Zou Feng at his word because he agreed.

She immediately demanded that Zou Feng swear a Heart Demon Poison Oath.

The Heart Demon Poison Oath had no binding power over Zou Feng, so he had no hesitation in swearing one.

“Good! You’ve got guts!”

“The Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill in your hands is only the Heart Method Chapter. Practice it for now. When you step into the Third Grade Realm, that will be the time for us to… conduct our business!”

’Huh? Not now?’

Zou Feng had just thought he was about to be taken on the spot, but it turned out he had to advance to the Third Grade before they could truly cultivate this Skill.

But on second thought, judging by the name Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill alone, this Skill was clearly a type of Qi Refining Skill.

It probably wouldn’t have much of an effect at the Gang Qi Realm.

Next, Gongsun Jinghong gave him a few more instructions, left behind a personal Communication Jade Talisman, and then departed without any delay.

After all, this was all for the sake of cultivation, not because she actually wanted to fly off into the sunset with Zou Feng.

In fact, she would have preferred to imprison Zou Feng, but doing so would be tantamount to cutting off his path of advancement.

After all, you couldn’t expect a caged bird to fly higher and farther.

Thus, she could only let him roam free and wait for the fruit to ripen.

Conversely, Zou Feng couldn’t have wished for anything better. Once he advanced to the Third Grade, he wouldn’t be the least bit afraid, even if Gongsun Jinghong tried to pull some tricks.
