Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Autumn Pavilion

After all, she had experienced this countless times before.

Nobles, ministers, cultivators, and even powerful figures from various sects had all reacted similarly when standing before her.

To Fen Ling, Han Wei’s reaction was nothing unusual.

She continued speaking calmly, completely at ease.

"Li Feng, if you have some free time, you should attend it tonight."

Li Feng raised an eyebrow.

"You know about it?"

"Of course."

Fen Ling’s tone carried a hint of amusement.

"The Autumn Pavilion is one of the largest merchant groups on this continent. They travel across countless regions, so naturally, they come across all kinds of strange and unusual things."

Hearing that the Autumn Pavilion was one of the largest merchant groups on the continent, Li Feng’s eyes immediately lit up with interest.

After all, one of his current goals was to become the richest man on the entire continent.

He glanced at the invitation in his hand.

"Strange things, huh?"

Fen Ling chuckled softly as she casually licked the last white stain at the corner of her lips.

"Mm... If you’re lucky, you might even find something interesting."

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’Now I’m a little curious.’

If even Fen Ling was recommending the auction, perhaps it really was worth taking a look.

Then Li Feng smiled faintly.

He folded the invitation and slipped it into his sleeve.

"Then I’ll take a look tonight. Thanks for telling me about it."

Fen Ling raised an eyebrow slightly.

"There’s no need to thank me for something so trivial. After all... we’re se— ehem... friends."

Li Feng smiled faintly and shook his head.

"Still, you’ve helped me quite a bit today. You even helped me take care of my... problem."

His smile became a little more genuine.

"Thank you, Fen Ling."

At that casualness, Fen Ling smiled and her crimson eyes glinted slightly.

"There’s no need to be so formal with me. If your problem arises again... come to me. I’ll help take care of it anytime."

She lightly pressed the handkerchief to the corner of her lips, hiding the way her tongue licked her lip seductively.

Her offer was completely genuine.

After experiencing it herself, Fen Ling had realized just how potent his seed was.

It was so full of pure yang energy and... strangely addictive.

Even though it wasn’t nearly enough for her to break through from it, the feeling of her bottleneck trembling slightly with every swallow made her feel rather pleased too.

Li Feng, who heard her offer—

The desire he had thought was completely exhausted suddenly blazed back to life.

In fact, the speed of his recovery was so ridiculous that even Li Feng himself was starting to wonder whether his current vitality had become abnormal.

Li Feng shook his head inwardly.

It seemed Fen Ling was a devouring monster with an endless appetite, while he was also a vitality monster himself that never exhausted.

It was almost as if the heavens had deliberately put the two of them together.

Li Feng couldn’t help but laugh.

"Haha. Then don’t mind me if I come looking for you again."

Fen Ling smiled.

"Of course. Anytime you want."

Meanwhile, Han Wei, who was standing nearby, blinked in confusion.

He looked between the two of them.

For some reason, he had a feeling that he was missing something.

Not long after, Li Feng and Han Wei left the palace.

The palace gates slowly disappeared behind them as they made their way through the bustling streets of the capital.

Li Feng walked at a relaxed pace, his hands resting casually behind his back.

It had been a long time since he had felt this relaxed and casual.

For once, there were no urgent matters demanding his attention, no calamity waiting to ambush him, and no complicated schemes he needed to figure out.

He simply walked through the streets, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere around him.

Li Feng couldn’t help but feel that this kind of ordinary moment was surprisingly pleasant after he had been robbed of it.

"Hmm~."

He hummed as they walked.

Han Wei followed beside him, still occasionally glancing at his master with an admiring gaze.

’It seems Master’s relationship with the Empress wasn’t so simple...’

The more Han Wei thought about it, the more he noticed.

The Empress had spoken to his master with a familiarity that seemed completely different from how she would normally treat others.

As someone who had always struggled from the bottom, Han Wei was surprisingly good at reading the atmosphere between people.

He could discern when someone was merely being polite and when they were genuinely close.

The way Fen Ling treated his master was definitely not ordinary..

’There is something going on between them...’

Of course, Han Wei knew when to pretend not to know.

Li Feng continued walking for a while before suddenly slowing down.

Then he stopped.

Han Wei, who was following beside him, immediately stopped as well.

Li Feng turned his head and looked at him with an awkward expression.

"...Do you know where the Autumn Pavilion is?"

Only then did Li Feng realize that he had completely forgotten to ask for directions.

But Han Wei immediately straightened up.

He thumped his chest confidently and smiled.

"Of course, Master. I already checked and asked the others where it is!"

He turned around and pointed toward the street ahead excitedly.

"Let me lead the way!"

With that,

Li Feng followed behind him with a faint smile on his face.

’So this is what it feels like to have a capable subordinate...’

He couldn’t help but feel a little pleased.

He didn’t even need to worry about where they were going or handle every little thing himself.

’Having someone reliable around really is convenient.’

But just as Li Feng was enjoying the feeling, a sudden notification echoed in his mind.

Then his footsteps abruptly stopped.
