After arriving beside the bed, Lin Feng directly tossed Cao Ying onto it before lowering himself down.
"This is my first time. I heard from the elders in my clan that it will hurt a little, so… remember to be gentle."
Lying on the soft mattress, Cao Ying's crimson eyes flashed with nervousness as she looked up at him.
"I'll try."
Lin Feng's voice was hoarse.
His bloodshot eyes swept across Cao Ying's delicate figure beneath the long dress.
The next moment, his hand moved like shadows, fast enough to leave afterimages, quickly removing every layer of fabric covering Cao Ying's body. After that, he shattered his own clothes with a burst of Dou Qi and lowered himself onto her.
After a long storm-like night, Lin Feng held Cao Ying's soft, fair body in his arms, still replaying the intoxicating sensation from earlier. After fighting for an entire day, he had finally confirmed one thing — the title Enchantress of the Cao Clan was not exaggerated one bit.
That seductive figure… perhaps only Cai Lin could compare.
Of course, it wasn't that the others lacked charm — it was simply that each woman had her own style.
"I've been curious... back when Xiao Yan sent someone to ambush you and was caught, why did you let him go? If you had just killed him and explained afterward, my master and the others probably wouldn't have risked everything to chase you."
Resting in his arms for a while until her breathing steadied, Cao Ying finally lifted her head and asked curiously. She had wondered about this for a long time, but since the two of them weren't particularly close before, she never found the right chance to ask.
Now that they had not only seen everything of each other but gone far past ordinary intimacy… she could no longer hold back her curiosity.
"I don't know if the Three Pill Tower Leaders would've gone crazy, but if Xiao Yan died back then, one crazy woman would definitely have come after me."
Lin Feng let out a helpless laugh. Although now, he really wanted to kill Xiao Yan.
If he actually did it, once Gu Xun'er learned Xiao Yan was dead, she would definitely lose her mind. The Gu Clan might not directly send people to kill him, but just one enraged Gu Xun'er charging at him would already be an unsolvable disaster.
If he tried fighting back and killed her, he wouldn't even make it that far — he would be erased by experts hiding in the shadows before he touched a single hair on her head. But if he didn't fight back and let her kill him…
Well, the ending would be the same — just a different executioner.
"A crazy woman?"
Cao Ying blinked, confused at first. Then suddenly, she remembered that shortly after Xiao Yan was imprisoned, a mysterious woman forced her way into the Small Pill Tower, escorted by powerful experts.
Her master had said that woman was Xiao Yan's lover. But when she asked for details, the answer she got was vague.
"So that lover of Xiao Yan… her background is strong enough that even you don't dare to touch him?"
Cao Ying frowned slightly.
She had interacted with Lin Feng countless times in the Small Pill Tower, and she knew clearly — this man's courage was beyond ridiculous. If even he was wary…
Then that woman's identity was definitely terrifying. The identity of that mysterious woman was enough to make Lin Feng wary.
Which meant her background was far beyond anything ordinary people could imagine.
"Strong? Her clan's influence isn't just strong, it's so ridiculous there's no limit to describe it."
Seeing Cao Ying's curious expression, Lin Feng let out a bitter laugh and continued, "If the Pill Tower declared full war against her clan right now, the Pill Tower would be erased from the continent in less than one day."
Cao Ying's delicate face first showed disbelief.
But soon, as if recalling something, she frowned and said, "Could it be… she comes from one of those ancient forces?"
Thinking of those Ancient Clans that had existed for countless years, her tone became extremely serious. With her background, she had heard a little about those terrifying forces.
Any power that survived thousands or even tens of thousands of years while standing at the peak of the Dou Qi Continent… was not something anyone could afford to provoke.
"Her name is Gu Xun'er. She's from one of the Ancient Clans — the Gu Clan. And her father is the clan leader, one of the strongest peak existences in the world."
Lin Feng didn't hide it and directly told her. He didn't know whether Cao Ying would back away after learning Gu Xun'er's identity. But he knew one thing — if she did not stand on his side completely, keeping her close would only create endless trouble.
"What?!"
Hearing that, Cao Ying forgot she wasn't wearing anything and abruptly pushed herself upright, staring at Lin Feng in disbelief. She had heard of the Gu Clan — a force whose influence covered nearly the entire Eastern Region of Central Plains.
She didn't know exactly how many experts existed within that clan. But the fact that they occupied one-fourth of Central Plains alone without sparking outrage was already enough to show how terrifying they were.
Then, her expression turned strange as she glanced at Lin Feng and laughed softly, "But you're something else. You offended a young miss of that clan, yet instead of trembling in fear every day, you're lying here enjoying life."
"Enjoy?"
Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. His gaze swept across Cao Ying's snow-white body before he sighed, "Enjoying is the last thing I am. I'm only safe because I'm using the Ancient Void Dragon Clan as leverage to scare them temporarily."
"If not, that woman would've acted spoiled in front of a few Elders close to her. And I — just a tiny One-Star Dou Zun — would've vanished from this world long ago."
After all, knowing the original story, he was very aware — a One-Star Dou Zun respected by outsiders meant nothing to the Ancient Clans.
In those clans, a Dou Zun was someone who could barely bully low-bloodline branch descendants — nothing more. Even someone like Ling Quan, whose talent and bloodline were considered average within the clan, reached the Dou Zun realm in his twenties.
Those with stronger bloodlines? It was better not to even compare. The terrifying part was — every few decades, ancient clans would produce several talents at that level. Not to mention, Dou Zun experts had lifespans of several hundred years.
With that accumulation, who knew how many Dou Zun experts those Dou Di bloodline clans had hidden inside? Forget other higher-level powerhouses — just releasing a handful of their Dou Zun elders would be enough to drain him to death.
"So in other words… you and Gu Xun'er are now in a situation where neither of you can deal with the other for the rest of your lives?"
Cao Ying's lips twitched as she spoke speechlessly.
