I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Even when Lin Feng extended his divine sense toward it, he still could not determine the source of the curse hidden within.

Time slowly passed as Lin Feng continued observing it in silence.

The more he examined it, the deeper his frown became.

“I still can’t see through it…” Lin Feng thought inwardly. “What exactly is this thing?”

Even with his vast medical knowledge of all the universes he now owned and powerful divine sense, he could not immediately identify the mark’s cure and how to unravel it.

Finally, Lin Feng looked up toward Chu Shuran once more.

“May I hold your hand, Lady Chu?” Lin Feng asked calmly. “I need to inspect it more closely if I wish to find a cure. To be honest, I’ve never seen anything quite like this before, so I may end up disappointing your hopes of removing it.”

Lin Feng spoke with complete honesty.

Although he was known throughout the empire as a peerless Medicine King whose skills could challenge the heavens themselves, he did not like making promises he could not guarantee.

The strange snake mark on Chu Shuran’s hand was simply put, not of this world.

The mere fact that even his divine sense could not fully penetrate it already proved how terrifying and mysterious it was.

“If even a great Medicine King cannot find a cure for it, then no one else can,” Chu Shuran replied gently. Her silver eyes carried calm acceptance rather than disappointment. “I am already grateful that you came here personally to help me, Medicine King Lin Feng.”

As she spoke, she slowly extended her right hand toward him.

Her movements were elegant and graceful, carrying the noble temperament of a woman born from an ancient clan.

Her fingers were slender and jade-like, so flawless that they looked almost unreal beneath the light of the spirit lamps.

To Chu Shuran, this was merely part of the healing process.

A physician touching a patient was nothing unusual.

Although her husband was the only man who had ever held her hand before, and Lin Feng would now become the second, she did not allow herself to dwell on such thoughts.

Her trust in Lin Feng’s character was already extremely high after hearing everything from Qiao Mei and Chu Jiangyue.

Lin Feng gently reached out and held her hand.

The moment their skin touched, both of them froze slightly.

Chu Shuran suddenly felt a strange warmth spread from her fingertips throughout her entire body like a gentle current of electricity.

The sensation was soft and comforting at first, yet strangely stimulating at the same time.

Her breathing unconsciously became uneven.

“Hmmm…”

A faint moan escaped her lips before she could stop herself.

The sound was soft and beautiful, yet inside the quiet chamber it felt exceptionally clear.

Chu Shuran’s silver eyes widened instantly.

A trace of embarrassment finally appeared on her usually calm and graceful face.

Even her pale cheeks gained a faint blush as she hurriedly lowered her gaze.

“What is happening to me?” she thought in shock.

Ever since the snake mark appeared on her body a few days ago, she always experienced strange sensations that caused her emotions and senses to become far more sensitive than normal.

Usually, she could suppress them through cultivation and meditation.

But the moment Lin Feng touched her hand, the snake mark seemed to awaken and grew even stronger.

The strange energy within it began moving restlessly.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng himself also noticed the abnormality immediately.

The snake-shaped mark faintly glowed for a split second beneath Chu Shuran’s fair skin.

A cold yet seductive aura quietly spread from it, almost as if the mark itself was alive and reacting to his spiritual energy.

Lin Feng’s expression became serious.

“Cough… please endure it for a moment, Lady Chu,” Lin Feng said calmly, pretending not to notice her embarrassed reaction in order to save her dignity. “The mark appears to be resisting my spiritual sense.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng gently circulated a strand of divine sense into her meridians through their joined hands.

The instant his energy entered her body, Chu Shuran’s delicate figure trembled again.

The warm spiritual energy flowing through her meridians felt soothing beyond words, like warm water nourishing a dry land.

Yet mixed within that comfort was an unbearable tingling sensation that made her heartbeat quicken involuntarily.

Chu Shuran bit her lower lip lightly to stop herself from making another embarrassing sound.

Across from them, Qiao Mei silently narrowed her eyes.

She was not some inexperienced young girl who understood nothing.

Having lived for thousands of years, she naturally recognized the meaning behind the soft moan that escaped her sister moments earlier.

More importantly, she could clearly sense the strange fluctuations coming from the snake mark itself.

“It reacted…” Qiao Mei thought inwardly with surprise.

Earlier, Chu Shuran had already privately explained the strange effects this mark occasionally caused within her body.

Because of that, Qiao Mei quickly understood that the reaction was likely connected to the curse itself rather than Chu Shuran losing control intentionally.

Still…

Watching her usually cold and dignified older sister blush in front of a young and devastatingly handsome man like Lin Feng created an extremely strange feeling in her heart.

Especially when Lin Feng’s expression remained calm and focused while carefully holding Chu Shuran’s hand.

The contrast between the two only made the atmosphere inside the chamber grow increasingly delicate.

Lin Feng carefully touched the snake mark and slowly traced his fingers around its edges while circulating a strand of spiritual energy into it.

The strange symbol immediately reacted.

A faint black glow flickered beneath Chu Shuran’s pale skin as though the snake hidden within the mark had suddenly awakened from slumber.

“Hmmmm…”

A soft trembling moan escaped Chu Shuran’s lips.

Lin Feng’s fingers continued moving gently across the mark while his divine sense tried to probe deeper into its structure.

The more he inspected it, the more complicated and serious his expression became.
