A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World

”Puha...”

Yue Lan’s beautiful face seemed to melt the moment Li Feng released her lips.

Her golden eyes were hazy, her lips slightly swollen and glistening, and a faint trail of saliva still clung to the corner of her mouth.

Right now, she looked utterly submissive and aroused.

”...”

Seeing her beautiful melted expression, Li Feng felt his desire surge even stronger.

His eyes glinted with raw hunger as he continued kneading her full, soft breast inside her robe, his fingers teasing and rolling her hardened buds.

But just then, he noticed Lan Suyao frowning.

Without removing his hand from inside Yue Lan’s robe, he asked softly, his voice still husky with lust.

”Senior Lan, what’s wrong?”

Hearing his question,

Lan Suyao hesitated for a moment, her gentle eyes flickering between Li Feng’s face and his shameless hand that was still groping Yue Lan’s chest.

She took a breath and began explaining what she and Yue Lan had discovered earlier that day.

”Actually, we used the Meridian Tracing Compass and found traces of malicious energy lingering faintly everywhere throughout the palace. And when we followed the strongest trail, it led us to the imperial treasury where spiritual herbs are stored. but... inside, we found no trace of the malicious energy itself... but many rare suppressing herbs have gone missing over the years.”

Lan Suyao’s tone grew serious.

”And after checking most of the names on the list who came to take the herbs, everyone seems innocent... but only Concubine Zhao and the Empress herself remain uninvestigated.”

The room fell silent for a moment.

Li Feng’s hand finally stopped moving inside Yue Lan’s robe as he narrowed his eyes.

He had never considered that the suspects for poisoning the Emperor could be the Empress or Concubine Zhao.

Remembering their gentle and aloof beautiful faces, he couldn’t help but murmur.

”...Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding? It isn’t strange for the Empress or a concubine to need some herbs for personal usage...”

Lan Suyao shook her head gently, her expression remaining grave.

”Normally that would be true... but the amount of missing suppressing herbs far exceeds what any single person would need for personal use. Not to mention, those suppressing-type herbs are mainly used for injury treatment. But after checking and asking around, neither the Empress nor Concubine Zhao have suffered any such grievous injury in the past year. All the guards and servants said they are both as healthy as in their prime.”

Lan Suyao’s words made the room fall even quieter.

Yue Lan, whose breast was still held in Li Feng’s warm and rough palm, slowly regained some clarity in her golden eyes.

She adjusted her robe slightly but didn’t pull away from his touch.

In a low voice, she added.

”Li Feng... the complexity of power struggles within the imperial family is far more complicated than in the sects. That’s why we haven’t ruled out our suspicions on those two yet.”

She gently held the mischievous hand over her robe and continued softly,

”Of course, this might be a completely separate issue. Senior Lan and I even suspect that the culprit poisoning the Emperor and the one who captured Sister Fen might even be different people. So if you manage to save Sister Fen, then everything will be fine.”

Li Feng fell silent for a moment.

His fingers unconsciously gave Yue Lan’s soft breast one final gentle squeeze before he slowly withdrew his hand.

He looked at both women with a deep, appreciative gaze.

”You two have worked hard while I was gone. Thank you.”

He gently stroked Yue Lan’s hair, and she smiled softly at his touch, leaning into his palm like a contented kitten.

Li Feng sighed lightly, his expression turning gentle as he looked at his two women.

”Both of you are right. But either way, once Shadow locates Fen Ziyan, we will—”

BOOOOMMMM!!!

A deafening explosion suddenly shook the entire palace.

The ground trembled violently.

Teacups rattled and fell off the table as a powerful shockwave swept through the guest quarters.

Li Feng’s expression changed instantly.

His arms tightened protectively around Yue Lan.

”What happened?!”

Distant screams and the sound of frantic footsteps echoed from outside.

He turned his head toward the direction of the explosion and narrowed his eyes.

”Shadow...”

That was the exact direction where Shadow and the Divine Brick had headed.

He immediately tried to contact Shadow and the Divine Brick through their connection, but to his shock, there was no response.

”What...? That’s impossible...”

For some reason, Li Feng felt a surge of worry as what currently happening brought back... bad memories of when he had also lost connection with Goldie.

Without hesitation, Li Feng released Yue Lan and moved toward the window.

He looked out into the chaotic night sky, where black smoke was rising in the distance and flashes of chaotic spiritual light could be seen.

Lan Suyao and Yue Lan who had quickly fixed her upper robe arrived beside him.

Both women stared in shock at the scene.

Yue Lan’s golden eyes flashed with disbelief.

”Why is there such a large explosion inside the inner palace...?”

Lan Suyao’s expression was grave as she watched the chaotic guards and servants running below.

Then she heard Li Feng’s low murmur.

”...That is the direction where I sent Shadow.”

Li Feng’s aura surged violently.

Terrifying pressure leaked out slightly from his body, and the atmosphere in the room instantly turned heavy.

He clenched his fists, his eyes turning sharp and serious.

”Something must have gone wrong.”

But at that moment,

Lan Suyao quickly stepped closer and placed a gentle hand on his arm.

”Calm down, Li Feng. Nothing should have been able to harm Shadow with its abilities. For now, let us go and check the situation.”

Her soft, soothing voice helped stabilize Li Feng’s emotions.

He took a deep breath and nodded.

”...You’re right.”

He turned to both women, his expression regaining its usual calmness, though his eyes still carried a sharp edge.

”Let us go see what exactly happened.”

Without another word, Li Feng led the way as the three of them quietly left the guest quarters and headed toward the rising smoke and chaos in the distance.

The atmosphere of the night had suddenly shifted and become far more dangerous.

Li Feng, Lan Suyao, and Yue Lan moved swiftly through the shadows of the chaotic palace.

The closer they got to the source of the explosion, the thicker the smoke became.

Shouts of guards and panicked servants filled the air as everyone rushed toward the site.

Without bothering to hide their presence, Li Feng led the two women straight toward the destroyed area.

But then,

Several imperial guards moved to block their path, but Li Feng released a powerful wave of his aura.

The terrifying pressure of a high-level cultivator instantly made the guards turn pale and stagger backward.

”Out of the way,” Li Feng said coldly, not slowing down in the slightest.

He was in a foul mood after losing contact with both Shadow and the Divine Brick, and he wanted nothing more than to see the situation for himself.

But to his slight surprise, however, the guards did not back down.

Although their faces were pale and their legs trembled, they still stood their ground, forming a shaky defensive line with weapons drawn.

A captain among them gritted his teeth and shouted with difficulty,

”Even... Even if you are strong, this is the Imperial Palace! Unauthorized entry into a restricted zone during an emergency is a capital offense! We cannot let you pass!”

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

These imperial guards were clearly well-trained and loyal as they were actually resisting his aura.

Just as the tension rose and some guards looked ready to attack despite their fear, Lan Suyao stepped forward gracefully.

She raised her hand and flashed a dazzling golden token engraved with the imperial family emblem.

”This is the Imperial Golden Token granted by Her Majesty the Empress. Stand down.”

The moment the golden token appeared, the guards’ expressions changed drastically.

The captain’s eyes widened in shock and recognition.

He immediately lowered his weapon and cupped his fists, the rest of the guards quickly following suit.

”We greet the honored guests holding the Golden Token!”

The blockade opened at once.

Li Feng glanced at Lan Suyao with a trace of approval and apology.

She smiled gently in return, understanding his current mood.

With the path cleared, the three of them quickly advanced deeper into the destroyed zone.

And when they arrived at the scene, utter devastation greeted them.

A massive crater had been blown into the ground at the center of what was once a luxurious courtyard.

Rubble and broken formation flags were scattered everywhere.

Thick smoke rose into the night sky, and the air was heavy with the scent of burnt wood and disrupted spiritual energy.

The moment he arrived, Li Feng noticed a few familiar faces.

In the distance,

Concubine Bai stood gracefully, her beautiful face showing a mix of shock and worry, along with a trace of an awkward smile as her eye keep twitching slightly.

... As she was currently flanked by three powerful Golden Core experts whose fierce auras radiated outward.

The trio appeared to be casually chatting with her, but with his sharp gaze, Li Feng noticed her unnatural posture, the faint stain at the corner of her lip, and how those three kept sneakily groping her rear while using their bodies to shield the act from view.

And not far from her stood an old man in a black robe with a long beard and sharp, calculating eyes...

It was Prime Minister Mu.

His old face was currently set in a deep frown, as if he was deep in thought while staring at the crater.

”...So it’s really true,” he murmured softly.

The moment Li Feng’s group arrived, he turned his head and...

...Li Feng’s cold gaze met Prime Minister Mu’s directly.
