Zhu Zhuqing slowly lay down and closed her eyes, as if waiting for a judgment of fate.
Her pure outline, like a water - lily, became even more charming in the night. Her breathing was gentle and rhythmic, as if telling her inner anticipation and unease.
"Zhuqing, relax. It's not that scary."
Duguyan's voice was gentle and soothing, like a warm breeze in spring, gently caressing Zhu Zhuqing's tense nerves.
There was a reassuring power in her tone, which gradually soothed Zhu Zhuqing's state of mind.
"Thank you, Sister Yan."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice carried a hint of gratitude. Her body relaxed slightly, as if really influenced by Duguyan's words, temporarily forgetting the nervousness and unease in her heart.
However, what Zhu Zhuqing didn't expect was that this brief peace was just the calm before the storm.
A playful light suddenly flashed in Duguyan's eyes. Her hand, like a nimble little fox, gently and imperceptibly reached towards Zhu Zhuqing.
As soon as she touched Zhu Zhuqing's body, she started a deft and skill - filled "attack".
"Sister Yan, no, it tickles..."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was mixed with laughter and pleading. Her body twisted involuntarily, trying to escape Duguyan's nimble fingers.
But Duguyan's techniques were too skillful. Every touch was just right, making Zhu Zhuqing feel itchy and unable to break free completely.
The following is paid content. Only members can view it. Got it?
...
As the dawn broke, the mist on the horizon was quietly dyed through by a glow of gold. The first ray of morning light, like a thin thread, passed through the window lattice and gently fell on the warm bed.
"Alas, with great power comes great responsibility." Chen Feng sighed leisurely.
Zhu Zhuqing and Duguyan were still deeply immersed in the tender embrace of dreams.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, like the wings of a butterfly dancing in the morning breeze;
Duguyan's breathing was steady and deep, like the melodious wind - chimes in the mountains.
Chen Feng approached quietly, carefully covering them with the quilt. Every movement was filled with tenderness and meticulousness, as if he was guarding the most precious treasures in the world.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her hazy eyes, with sleep still lingering at the corners.
Seeing Chen Feng's careful actions, a warm current surged in her heart. She felt a deep sense of peace and happiness, the feeling of being cherished and cared for, as if she had the most peaceful corner of the world.
"Brother Chen Feng, you're so kind."
Zhu Zhuqing whispered, expressing the gratitude in her heart.
With Zhu Zhuqing's words, Duguyan also woke up leisurely from her dream. She opened her hazy eyes, and as soon as her vision focused, she caught the warm scene between Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.
A smile curved the corner of her mouth, and her eyes carried a bit of playfulness and sleepiness.
"Hey, your Brother Chen Feng has even better sides." Chen Feng replied with a mischievous smile.
Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts were instantly carried away by Chen Feng's teasing. Her cheeks flushed like peach blossoms, and a shy light flickered in her clear eyes. She didn't dare to look directly into Chen Feng's eyes.
"Silly girl, what were you thinking? I meant I have a way to help the two of you increase your levels."
Chen Feng explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately snapped out of her wild thoughts. The look of shock on her face gradually faded, replaced by a smile of sudden understanding.
She pouted, pretending to be angry as she scolded, "Brother Chen Feng, you're so naughty. You always like to tease people."
After saying that, she playfully punched Chen Feng's chest.
Seeing this, Duguyan couldn't help but become curious.
"Chen Feng, what exactly is the method?"
Under the gaze of the two, Chen Feng slowly took out a fairy herb from his bosom.
This fairy herb seemed to have condensed the essence of heaven and earth. Every part of it exuded a strong aura of life, making people's hearts flutter.
At the bottom of the fairy herb, the roots and leaves intertwined like a woven tapestry, forming a dream - like scenery. They emitted a faint glow, as if whispering the secrets of life.
At the top of the fairy herb, a golden tulip shone particularly brightly against the morning light. It was like the empress of this world, noble and mysterious, attracting the power of heaven and earth around it to gather.
"Your martial spirit is extraordinary. After careful consideration, I've chosen this fairy herb for you. It's called the Rippling Silk Tulip. Its noble appearance is like a flower from the celestial realm. Taking it allows you to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and draw in the radiance of the sun and moon. Remember, don't swallow this flower directly. Gently inhale the essence from its stamen, slowly introduce the essence into your body, and then use your cultivation method to let the medicinal power penetrate every part of your body."
Zhu Zhuqing listened intently, her eyes shining with a longing for this mysterious power.
When Chen Feng handed the Rippling Silk Tulip to her, her fingers trembled slightly, as if she was touching the most precious treasure between heaven and earth.
At that moment, a deep sense of gratitude welled up in her heart for Chen Feng.
She gently kissed Chen Feng on the cheek, her voice full of admiration and joy. "Brother Chen Feng, you're amazing."
Duguyan stood aside, her heart in turmoil. Her eyes showed a complex and hard - to - read expression.
She was envious that Zhu Zhuqing had received Chen Feng's special attention, and at the same time, she felt a hint of indescribable sadness.
She secretly sighed in her heart. Alas, I wonder if Chen Feng has prepared a fairy herb for me. I don't know anything about this.
"Yanzi, you're not left out." Chen Feng's voice suddenly rang out, breaking her reverie.
Duguyan's eyes lit up instantly. All the gloom seemed to be blown away by a gentle breeze.
She could hardly believe her ears and asked eagerly, "Really?"
"Really!"
Chen Feng slowly took out a fairy herb from his soul - guide device. Its stem was straight like black jade, with a deep night - like color dotted with silver - white spots, as if they were stars fallen from the night sky, shining with a mysterious light.
The leaves were broad and thick, with sharp edges like sawteeth. Although it wasn't as delicate as the Rippling Silk Tulip when touched, it had a rough and primitive beauty.
The most eye - catching was the deep - purple flower. Under the sunlight, it slowly unfolded, like an elegant and refined fairy in the night.
The fluorescence in the center of the petals emitted a faint glow, like the dewdrops in the morning light, containing the mysterious power of life.
This fluorescence was no ordinary thing. It was transformed from the toxicity contained in the fairy herb. Although extremely dangerous, it also symbolized great potential.
"This is the Night Shadow Violet. Its toxicity is so strong that it can instantly paralyze the nervous system of small creatures. For cultivators proficient in poison - based techniques, it's a precious resource to enhance their poison - energy. Poison - attribute fairy herbs are extremely rare. I went to great lengths to find this one. You just need to gently absorb the fluorescence from the petals, and you'll feel its power."
Hearing this, Duguyan's heart skipped a beat. Her pupils slightly contracted, and a mixture of surprise and fear appeared on her face.
"Ah, it's poisonous?"
Ever since Chen Feng removed the toxin from her body last time, she had been afraid of any form of poison.
For her, poison was not just a physical harm but also a shadow deep in her heart.
