After leaving the hotel, Ling Feng loosened Chu Ziling's hand and spoke indifferently, "Alright, the task is done. You can tell me what you know now, can't you?"

Chu Ziling spoke in a melancholy tone, "Hey, you're so heartless! Weren't we very affectionate just a moment ago?"

Ling Feng was speechless, "Sister, you're too deep into the role. Don't get lost in it! Now that there's no one else, do we really need to keep acting?"

Chu Ziling gave Ling Feng a disdainful glance, "Such an unromantic man, I don't know how those little girls got so dazzled by you! Let's go find a quieter place to talk!"

The two went to a café and chose a private booth.

After sitting down, Chu Ziling hung her coat on the rack, revealing her graceful figure.

Even though Ling Feng had several quite beautiful girlfriends, he was still dazzled by Chu Ziling's charm for a moment. Among Ling Feng's women, Wei Meizi and Chu Ziling might be the closest in comparison, but Chu Ziling had an added touch of sexiness and slightly less of the classic, intellectual elegance.

"By the way, I've been thinking about something," Chu Ziling said smilingly, "Now that you already have so many girlfriends, have you ever thought about getting another? Like... me?"

Ling Feng was slightly shocked, "Chu Ziling, that joke isn't funny at all!"

Chu Ziling stirring her coffee cup, said, "Why would you think I'm joking? I'm quite serious, you know?"

Ling Feng frowned and said, "Stop messing around. I don't have time for this!"

Chu Ziling insisted, "Hey, I'm seriously telling you this! Look at me, I might be a few years older than you, but a woman three years your senior could bring wealth. I'm not only good-looking but also have a great figure. The Chu family is also prestigious, and I've never had a boyfriend before, still a virgin too!"

Ling Feng sweated profusely, "What does you being a virgin have to do with me?"

"Of course, it matters!" said Chu Ziling earnestly. "Men, aren't they all like that? Always deeply fixated on a virgin complex... and above all, I'm not jealous! It's normal for a clan leader to have a few women in a large family. What do you say? Are you somewhat interested?"

Rubbing his forehead and looking at the serious Chu Ziling, Ling Feng was now unsure whether Chu Ziling was out of her senses or was hiding some ulterior motive.

"If you're serious, then I want to know your intentions!" said Ling Feng, frowning, "We don't have much in common, do we?"

Chu Ziling, still smiling, said, "We might not have crossed paths much, but I've pretty much memorized all your information! I must say, among your peers, you truly stand out. Someone like you is worthy of me."

"Besides, I really see potential in you. If a woman without the nourishment of love is incomplete, then why shouldn't I choose a man I admire and who is also powerful?" Chu Ziling said. "Also, I believe that an alliance between our Chu family and you will definitely be mutually beneficial. What do you think?"

Ling Feng's expression gradually became serious, "Are you saying that you're serious about this?"

Chu Ziling nodded, "Of course, you don't really think Chu Ziling would casually say such things to a man, do you? You should know that among my contemporaries in the big families, most are much older than me and those my age are usually younger in rank! Plus, joining together, Chu Yang would then be your junior. Think about it, isn't that exciting?"

Looking at Chu Ziling's smiling face, Ling Feng shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm not thrilled! Since you're serious, I'll respond seriously."

After taking a sip of coffee, Ling Feng said, "Firstly, it's not possible between us, whether seriously or jokingly. I don't want to hear such talk from you again in the future. As for our relationship, as long as the Chu family doesn't offend me, I'm naturally reluctant to provoke your Chu family, considering it's one of Huaxia's top families, and I'm not that idle!"

"More importantly, my girlfriends and I are together because we have feelings for each other, not because of some so-called mutual benefits! I can go to great lengths for them and I believe they would do the same for me! These feelings are built from every little shared experience. I won't let our feelings be tainted by any filth!"

"So, stop discussing this in front of me because it's an insult to me and the women I love. Do you understand?" Ling Feng said indifferently.

Chu Ziling's lips twitched, and she looked deeply at Ling Feng, then suddenly chuckled, "Alright, alright, it was just a joke. You really took it so seriously, no fun at all!"

But in the depths of Chu Ziling's eyes, there was a flicker of intrigued light.

"Enough of the nonsense!" Ling Feng said, "What do you know about the Eighteen Star Zodiac Shaking Evil Formation in Wolong Mountain?"

Chu Ziling replied, "Don't worry, since I said I'd tell you, I won't fool you! The directions for the Eighteen Star Zodiac Shaking Evil Formation were actually given to me by my elder brother, the Head of the Chu Family! He said to build eighteen villas according to the directions on it."

"At first, I didn't think much of it, but when constructing the eighteenth villa, there were countless problems, and it was never completed. That's what made me start doubting!" Chu Ziling said. "So, I subsequently confronted my elder brother and after my questioning, he finally revealed some secrets."

"The Eighteen Star Zodiac Shaking Evil Formation was given to my brother by a mysterious person, aimed at harnessing the Formation's power to extract the Mountain's Force from Wolong Mountain!" said Chu Ziling.

Ling Feng nodded slightly. Ao Yun had also told him about the purpose of the Eighteen Star Zodiac Shaking Evil Formation, indeed built to extract the Mountain's Force.

"Although I don't know what the Mountain's Force is, I know that this matter can't be that simple!" Chu Ziling said, "I subsequently visited various landscape experts, and after a round of visits, I gradually discovered something that perhaps even my elder brother doesn't know!"

Ling Feng perked up, "What is it?"

"Why does the Eighteen Star Zodiac Shaking Evil Formation work on Wolong Mountain? Why can it extract the Mountain's Force?" Chu Ziling explained, "I've tried building villas in the same layout on other mountains and didn't see that kind of effect."

"What you mean is..." Ling Feng's brow furrowed.

Chu Ziling spoke earnestly, "I suspect that something is sealed beneath Wolong Mountain, and what the Eighteen Star Zodiac Shaking Evil Formation supposedly 'extracting the Mountain's Force' is merely a Formation used to refine that thing!"
