In the night, the three of them enjoyed delicious grilled meat.
A figure appeared out of nowhere, sniffing the aroma of the meat in the air, and seemingly gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
Chrysanthemum Douluo casually took a large portion of the grilled meat from the rack, but unable to withstand the dangerous gaze of Qian Renxue, he quickly left.
Far from the campsite of Lin Feng and the others, on a large tree, Chrysanthemum Douluo contentedly took a bite of the grilled meat.
"Ah, the flavor lingers. Lin Feng's cooking skills are getting better and better. It's a pity that Ling Yuan is about to become a Title Douluo, and I will soon have to leave. I won't be able to enjoy such delicacies for a while."
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head:
"But it's also good. Following them, what else can I do besides watching them exchange affectionate glances? The Grand Worship is also insisting that I come. The only benefit is the delicious food Lin Feng prepares every day."
Qian Renxue watched Chrysanthemum Douluo leave with satisfaction.
Just like that day, she followed the same method, but this time, it was Ling Yuan who provided the flame to dissolve the whale glue, as it wouldn't be good if Lin Feng noticed.
"Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan, what are you doing? Is your Phoenix True Flame meant for such things? How decadent!"
Ling Yuan slightly shook her head, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Although she didn't know why, every time Lin Feng consumed the whale glue, he seemed to become very shy and reserved, allowing Qian Renxue to boldly tease him.
Lin Feng sat on a tree stump, taking a deep breath. Cooking alone was quite tiring.
Unfortunately, he couldn't let Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan join in the cooking.
Ling Yuan was somewhat better, but Qian Renxue's cooking was a disaster.
Was this some kind of heavenly restriction? Qian Renxue was almost perfect, but when it came to cooking, she was utterly clueless.
"Lin Feng, here, this is specially selected for you."
Taking the grilled meat from Qian Renxue, Lin Feng took a bite. Before he could say anything, he noticed Qian Renxue's intense gaze.
"Huh?"
Why does this scene feel familiar?
Lin Feng licked his lips and smacked them twice.
"Ouch—Xue'er, did you drug me again?"
Qian Renxue couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She picked up Lin Feng and headed towards the tent.
"Isn't this a bit of a role reversal?"
Lin Feng's mouth twitched, but he helplessly finished the grilled meat in his hand.
Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled with even more amusement:
"Then why didn't you avoid it?"
Lin Feng snorted, the restlessness in his body making his voice slightly deeper:
"I just wanted to see how long a certain someone, who's all talk but no action, can last today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng broke free from Qian Renxue's embrace and, in one swift motion, picked her up instead.
Qian Renxue let out a surprised gasp. Her body, also heating up, had a dazed look in her eyes, and the warm breath from her nose brushed against Lin Feng's neck.
"Why are you so assertive today? You weren't like this before."
Lin Feng forcefully suppressed the heat rising in his lower abdomen. With his forehead pressed against Qian Renxue's, their eyes locked, and he slowly said:
"I don't want to always be passive. Although I enjoy that feeling, I think it's necessary to assert some dominance today. Otherwise, what if I keep getting drugged every day?"
Glancing back at Ling Yuan, who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Lin Feng shook his head slightly and carried Qian Renxue into the tent.
"Mm, ah—"
Perhaps it was because of the whale glue, but the kiss between the two seemed somewhat awkward this time.
Like a newborn dragon discovering the treasure hidden by its mother, the hidden desires in his blood made him roam freely in the vast ocean of wealth.
In a short while, he had traversed an entire mountain of treasure, feeling almost suffocated and wanting to escape for a moment.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue seemed to be clinging to something. To prevent Lin Feng's next move, her hands, which were originally around his waist, moved up and held the back of his head.
"Mm."
Lin Feng widened his eyes. Not even allowed to breathe now?
A thin silver thread glistened as Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed like fine wine, adding a touch of seductive charm to her already unparalleled beauty.
Her hands pressed against Lin Feng's chest.
Her breaths came slightly hurried.
Qian Renxue licked the corner of her lips, savoring the sweetness she had just stolen, swallowing it all.
Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she looked at Lin Feng triumphantly:
"This time, you lost."
Lin Feng took a deep breath. Oh? He couldn't let this slide.
One hand reached out and grabbed Qian Renxue's delicate foot.
"Don't!"
Qian Renxue panicked slightly.
"Mm…"
Lin Feng gently kneaded the soft jade in his hand, his movements slow and deliberate.
With one hand supporting Qian Renxue's delicate face, he launched another raid on the treasure trove, plundering every last drop of sweetness within. As a token of appreciation, he left behind his own treasure.
Qian Renxue felt like she was losing her mind. How did Lin Feng always find that spot? Every time, she ended up defeated because of it.
She reached for the nearby blanket and buried her face in it, too embarrassed to meet anyone's gaze.
Lin Feng chuckled softly, wiped away the moisture on his skin, and wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue from behind.
"Xiao Xue?"
Qian Renxue rubbed her slightly sore wrists and huffed:
"What?"
Lin Feng found it amusing. She was the one who started this, and now that she lost, she was sulking?
Qian Renxue turned to face him and playfully bit his lips.
"Fine, you win today. But next time, I'll win it back. Next time, the time after that—you're not allowed to touch my feet!"
Lin Feng nodded. Alright, then I'll just wait until the time after the time after that.
Qian Renxue nestled against his chest, drawing lazy circles with her finger.
"Xiao Feng, when do you think I'll really be able to give myself to you?"
This… probably needed a divine crane's guidance. Though, it felt like it wouldn't be long now.
Lin Feng's gaze softened as he stroked her golden hair.
"Not much longer."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue sprawled against his chest, her voice carrying a hint of teasing.
"Say, do you think Sister Ling Yuan also wants to eat you up?"
Lin Feng grinned. "Maybe."
Qian Renxue giggled. "Maybe? More like definitely. If I weren't here, she would've taken you by now."
"But that's fine."
She propped herself up, looking down at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with mirth.
"I've said it before, Xiao Feng, you're mine.
Even Sister Ling Yuan—she can only have what I give. If I don't allow it, she can't take it."
Lin Feng's lips parted slightly. Yep, he could sense that touch of possessiveness in her again.
"Please, do continue."
Qian Renxue chuckled softly, lifted his chin with her delicate fingers, and leaned down to whisper in his ear, her breath warm like orchids.
"Of course, I also belong only to you, Xiao Feng. You can do anything to me."
No more words were needed. Red lips met white teeth once more. This time, their hunger carried an even greater fervor.
Perhaps it was Qian Renxue's earlier words that had sparked something.
Outside, Ling Yuan had been waiting for quite a while before finally seeing a hand emerge from the tent, beckoning her in.
Seeing the calm expressions of the two inside, she couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Was this the "sage's moment" described in Mother Ye's guide?
Noticing the freshly changed sheets, she turned to Qian Renxue.
"So? How was it?"
Qian Renxue's lips curled slightly.
"A small victory."
