A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World

Li Feng walked out of the quiet courtyard.

The evening sun cast long shadows across the palace.

As he walked, Li Feng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

For some reason, he felt strangely open and comfortable when talking with Concubine Zi.

Usually, with a beautiful and mature woman like her, he wouldn’t be surprised if lust stirred in his heart... especially after seeing her fragile yet alluring appearance.

He had even thought about having a mother and daughter pair deep in his heart before, but...

...But at the sight of a worried mother desperately hoping for her daughter’s safe return... all of his lust had completely vanished.

Instead, he only felt a soft, protective feeling in his chest.

A rare sense of gentleness and respect.

’She really is a good mother...’ Li Feng thought to himself.

Even though she was weak and ill, her love for Fen Ziyan was pure and strong.

He knew that being a concubine inside the imperial palace wasn’t as easy as it sounded.

Living every day under constant scrutiny, political pressure, and the fear of losing favor.

Concubine Zi had to endure all of that while raising a talented daughter who carried the heavy expectations of the entire imperial family.

And after her own daughter had fallen from grace, she must have spent day and night worrying about Fen Ziyan.

No wonder her health had deteriorated so badly.

At this pure motherly love, it made him feel strangely warm inside... and a bit jealous.

He shook his head lightly with a faint smile.

’Looks like I’m getting soft.’

Li Feng’s expression turned slightly solemn.

He made up his mind even more firmly.

’I will definitely bring Fen Ziyan back safely... For both of them.’

As Li Feng continued walking along the palace path, he suddenly noticed two familiar figures ahead.

It was Concubine Zhao, who was gently carrying a small baby in her arms, and beside her was Concubine Wei, walking slowly while talking in a low voice.

Li Feng’s eyes brightened.

’Perfect timing.’

He had been looking for a chance to deliver Grand Tutor Wei’s letter to Concubine Wei.

He quickened his steps a little and called out politely.

”Concubine Zhao, Concubine Wei.”

Both women turned around.

Concubine Zhao smiled warmly when she saw him, while Concubine Wei’s fox-like eyes showed a trace of surprise.

”Envoy Li,” Concubine Zhao greeted gently, adjusting the baby in her arms. ”What a coincidence to meet you here.”

Li Feng cupped his fists respectfully toward both women.

”I was actually looking for Concubine Wei. I have something important to deliver to you from Grand Tutor Wei.”

Concubine Wei’s expression turned slightly serious as she nodded.

”Then let’s talk inside my courtyard. It’s not far from here.”

Hearing this, Li Feng hesitated slightly.

After all, it was just a letter. There was really no need to make it so formal.

But then he suddenly remembered something.

Concubine Zhao... she was one of the people suspected of being involved with the missing suppressing herb.

Maybe he could take this chance to probe her about this.

Li Feng changed his mind slightly and smiled.

”Lead the way then.”

Concubine Zhao’s eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity, but she maintained her gentle smile as she held the baby closer.

Li Feng followed the two concubines toward Concubine Wei’s courtyard.

The walk was quiet, with only the soft sound of footsteps and the occasional cooing of the baby breaking the silence.

As they walked, Li Feng couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at the two women in front of him.

Concubine Zhao’s graceful figure swayed gently with each step, her mature body still carrying the alluring charm of a woman who had just given birth.

Her waist was slim, and her hips were full and rounded, accentuated by the elegant palace dress she wore.

Beside her, Concubine Wei’s fox-like beauty was even more tempting in the evening light.

Her swaying hips and the subtle curve of her chest under the thin fabric made Li Feng’s throat feel a little dry.

’Tch... tch...’

Li Feng clicked his tongue inwardly.

It seemed Concubine Zi really was a special case.

Just seeing a worried mother had completely killed his lust.

But now, looking at these two beauties walking in front of him...

Desire began to stir again deep in his heart.

Especially Concubine Wei with her seductive fox-like charm, and Concubine Zhao with her gentle yet voluptuous figure.

His eyes lingered a little longer on their swaying curves as he thought.

’If there’s a chance... it wouldn’t be bad to taste both of them.’

He quickly shook his head slightly, forcing himself to calm down.

Now was not the time to think about such things.

Once they arrived at the elegant courtyard, Concubine Wei invited them inside the main hall.

After the servants served tea and left, Concubine Wei looked at Li Feng with a calm but expectant gaze.

”Envoy Li, you mentioned a letter from my grandfather?”

Li Feng took out the sealed letter and handed it to her with both hands.

”Yes. Grand Tutor Wei asked me to deliver this to you personally.”

Concubine Wei accepted the letter with a serious expression.

She carefully broke the seal and opened it, her fox-like eyes scanning the contents.

And as she read...

Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a complicated mix of emotions flashed across her face... surprise, worry, and a hint of disbelief.

Her fingers tightened on the letter as she read the last few lines.

For the first time, Li Feng saw this usually charming and composed concubine make a strange expression.

The room fell into a brief, tense silence.

Concubine Zhao, who was gently rocking the baby in her arms, noticed the change in her best friend’s expression and didn’t dare interrupt.

She knew that this kind of expression usually meant Concubine Wei was currently deep in thought.

But just then, Li Feng turned toward Concubine Zhao.

His voice was calm and polite.

”Concubine Zhao, since you are here as well... I wanted to ask you something.”

Concubine Zhao’s gentle smile remained on her face, but a faint trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She adjusted the baby slightly in her arms and replied softly.

”What is it, Envoy Li? If this concubine can help, I will naturally do my best.”

Li Feng nodded and continued.

”Actually, we have been investigating the matter of the plague inside the palace and we happened to find out about a mysterious case regarding the missing suppressing spiritual herb from the treasury... and among the list of those who have taken out the most was you.”

He finished speaking as he narrowed his eyes slightly, observing her reaction intently.

But to his surprise...

Concubine Zhao blinked her eyes slowly and tilted her head in genuine confusion.

”I did?”

”Eh?”

Li Feng was momentarily stunned.

Concubine Zhao’s reaction seemed completely natural, a mix of surprise and bewilderment, as if she truly had no idea what he was talking about.

She gently rocked the baby in her arms and spoke with a soft, puzzled tone.

”I... I did take some suppressing herbs before, but only the normal amount for my own use after giving birth. The imperial physician prescribed them to help me recover my foundation. I didn’t know there were any missing herbs...”

She looked at Li Feng with clear, innocent eyes.

”Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

Li Feng remained silent for a moment, carefully observing Concubine Zhao’s expression.

Her confusion and slight nervousness seemed genuine.

’Maybe it really is just a misunderstanding?’

Li Feng thought silently but then shook his head.

Well, it didn’t matter.

Right now, all of the secrets would be revealed soon anyway once the Empress finished interrogating and soul-searching Prime Minister Mu.

He smiled faintly and nodded.

”Perhaps. We are still investigating. If Concubine Zhao remembers anything unusual, please let me know.”

Concubine Zhao nodded obediently.

”I will. Thank you for your hard work, Envoy Li.”

The atmosphere in the hall became a little awkward after that.

Li Feng, who was calmly drinking the tea in this silence, was about to ask about the baby prince in Concubine Zhao arm, suddenly felt Concubine Wei’s gaze on him.

He turned to look and saw her giving him a strange, meaningful look.

”May I help you with something...?” Li Feng asked politely.
