Chapter 571 - 344: Shameless Request (Part 2)
At this moment, her every move, every glance, every smile, was as if crafted by the heavens—beautiful to the extreme.
Zou Feng knew he couldn’t hide. Besides, within the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, not even a True Disciple could really do anything to him, so he simply walked forward to meet her.
"Greetings, Liu Zhenchuan!"
Liu Chenyu slowly turned around, smiling. "Must you be so formal with me?"
"We were so close to becoming a devoted couple, a match made in heaven..."
Zou Feng replied with composure, "You jest, Liu Zhenchuan. How could I possibly be worthy of such a wild fantasy?"
His words truly made Liu Chenyu laugh.
"You wouldn’t dare?"
"Then what did you do to my Mind Body in the Battle Saint Hall?"
Zou Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Jiang Wanzhao had told him that many True Disciples could sense when their Mind Bodies were challenged.
’But the problem is, they can even sense the specific details of the challenge and the methods used?!’
Though shocked, he maintained a straight face and said, "It was just a normal challenge."
This time, Liu Chenyu’s laughter was even more gleeful. "Normal? I’ve fought thousands upon thousands of battles, but I’ve never encountered a move as despicable as yours..."
Hearing this, Zou Feng lost all hope. She really could sense the specifics.
’But how did she sense it? Did the corresponding body part feel a burning pain?’
"It was a pure coincidence. I didn’t mean to offend you."
"Become my Dao Companion, and I’ll forgive you!" Liu Chenyu finally stopped beating around the bush and stated her true purpose.
Zou Feng still refused without a moment’s hesitation. "I’m afraid I’m not worthy of such a blessing."
"You’re really unwilling?" Liu Chenyu’s smile didn’t waver. "Do you know how many detours you could avoid in the future if you were with me?"
Zou Feng’s tone was firm. "There’s no need to persuade me further, Liu Zhenchuan. I made myself very clear in the Demon Suppression Tower."
"Then do you know how much trouble you’ll face for rejecting me, even if I don’t target you personally...?" Liu Chenyu sighed softly, her tone full of pity.
’Is she trying to tell me that even if she doesn’t act against me herself, there will be plenty of sycophants eager to make things difficult for an ungrateful guy like me?’
That was to be expected. After all, Liu Chenyu surely had more than her fair share of bootlickers.
However, for Zou Feng, it just meant adding a few more big shots to his list.
The number of powerful men and women on that list had been dwindling recently. If it weren’t for Gongyang Marquis being such a top-tier opponent, he’d almost be running out.
He would actually welcome a few more big shots to keep on standby.
"As you wish, Liu Zhenchuan!"
Seeing that further words were useless, Zou Feng prepared to walk around her and leave.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chenyu’s figure flashed, and she once again blocked his path.
This confused Zou Feng. Could Liu Chenyu actually try to use force on him here, inside the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect?
"You can’t see the situation clearly right now, pinning all your hopes on Jiang Wanzhao’s protection."
"That’s fine. I can give you more time. But before that, you have to do something for me..." Liu Chenyu’s smile finally vanished, her expression turning serious.
Zou Feng was utterly speechless. A mighty True Disciple was pestering him so relentlessly.
"What help could a mere Spiritual Energy Realm Cultivator like me offer you, Liu Zhenchuan?" Zou Feng asked impatiently.
Liu Chenyu said with a very serious expression, "Use that move you used on my Mind Body on me for real!"
"Don’t tell me you’re not even willing to do me this one small favor!"
Hearing this request, and seeing Liu Chenyu’s expression which truly didn’t seem like she was joking, Zou Feng was completely stunned.
’Use the move from the Mind Body on her real body?’
’The move she’s talking about... could it be the Inflamed Vortex: Thousand Years of Death I recently comprehended?!’
"Let’s not mince words. The sensation transmitted from my Mind Body back then was quite novel. I want to experience it again!" Liu Chenyu explained, seeing Zou Feng was frozen in a daze.
Now Zou Feng was certain.
Liu Chenyu was a shameless pervert.
And Jiang Wanzhao’s two-word evaluation of her, "Shameless Emperor," was truly fitting.
After taking a moment to compose himself, Zou Feng waved his hand. "That’s out of the question... Liu Zhenchuan, if you have such preferences, you can have your Dao Companions oblige you!"
"They don’t know your move. They can’t achieve the same effect," Liu Chenyu said matter-of-factly.
And Zou Feng knew she wasn’t just making up an excuse.
His Inflamed Vortex: Thousand Years of Death was a fusion technique he’d comprehended in a flash of inspiration during a critical moment in battle.
At the time, Zou Feng had imbued it with the Power of Four Dragons that surpassed his limits, combining it with the Silent Extinction Poison Flame, the Abyssal Vortex Prison-Suppressing Force, the Great Universal Hand, and the Quantitative Tribulation Killing Needle to create this Big Move.
And he hadn’t intentionally used the "Thousand Years of Death" hand sign. It was just that the Quantitative Tribulation Killing Needle Skill, as its name suggested, was naturally suited for finger techniques...
And to think this Big Move, born from his own inspiration, was being treated by Liu Chenyu as...
Of course, even if Liu Chenyu genuinely just wanted to relive the experience, there was no way Zou Feng would actually indulge her.
With a pervert like her, if there was a first time, there would surely be a second, and then it would probably never end.
Besides, looking at it from another angle, it was entirely possible Liu Chenyu was setting a trap for him.
If he fell for her nonsense and actually performed the Inflamed Vortex: Thousand Years of Death here, it would be tantamount to attacking her.
Although the idea of a mere Inner Sect Disciple in the Spiritual Energy Realm attacking a True Disciple sounded ridiculous, and the Celestial Dao Cauldron might not misjudge the situation, if Liu Chenyu had some way to exploit it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Liu Zhenchuan, please have some self-respect. For a number of reasons, both personal and logical, I cannot help you with this. Farewell!"
With that, Zou Feng once again walked around her, fleeing the scene as quickly as he could.
Seeing this, Liu Chenyu finally showed her displeasure, sneering, "You’re clearly one of us, yet you insist on acting like a hypocrite. How utterly laughable!"
"Fine. Since you refuse my toast and insist on drinking the forfeit, don’t blame me for disregarding the rapport we built in the Demon Suppression Tower!"
’As if we had any rapport to begin with...’
Ignoring Liu Chenyu’s threat, Zou Feng didn’t look back, heading straight for the Hongxing Inn.
Once he was back in his own residence, no one—not even a True Disciple—could enter without his permission.
That pervert, Liu Chenyu, was even crazier than Su Qingyu.
By comparison, Su Qingyu could almost be considered normal.
The moment he stepped through the door, his Dao Companions surrounded him, their faces full of concern.
They naturally knew that Liu Chenyu had appeared just now, but they had stayed inside the Hongxing Inn to avoid causing any trouble.
And since Liu Chenyu hadn’t bothered to lower her voice, the women had overheard parts of their conversation.
"Zou Lang, what kind of move did you use on Liu Chenyu’s Mind Body?" Tian Yun wasn’t accusing him; she was simply curious.
After all, for a move to be so memorable to a True Disciple that she would come seeking a repeat performance was truly strange.
It wasn’t just Tian Yun who was curious; the other four women also wore expressions eager to know the truth.
Since these were all people who shared his heart, Zou Feng couldn’t be bothered to brush them off with a lie, so he simply demonstrated the hand sign for the Inflamed Vortex: Thousand Years of Death on the spot.
Of course, to avoid being mistaken for a pervert, Zou Feng also briefly explained why he had comprehended such a move at that time.
After hearing his explanation, Tian Yun and the others were all stunned. Then, some burst into laughter, some gasped, some cursed Liu Chenyu for being shameless, and one even had an eager-to-try expression...
Seeing Gongsun Jinghong’s genuinely eager expression, Zou Feng quickly scolded her, "Get those bold ideas out of your head!"
Gongsun Jinghong pouted and turned her head away, looking rather displeased.
"I have a battle with Song Yuanze tomorrow. Let’s rest for now!"
He had just returned from the Battle Saint Hall and was completely exhausted. He needed to rest and recover properly, and he simply didn’t have the strength for his daily Cultivation of the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill.
