Free Web NovelChapter 554: Chapter 336: The Quintessential Dao Companions
’So, the one who’s been setting a trap for me all this time is actually a True Disciple.’
’No wonder she’s a prodigy who is Three-in-One, possessing Spirit and Flesh, Spirit Bone, and a Spiritual Vein.’
’It seems she became a True Disciple long ago.’
’But am I really that appealing? Is it worth a True Disciple spending over half a year to lay a trap for me!?’
At this thought, Zou Feng looked again at the former Jiang Xue, the current Liu Chenyu.
Because of Lu Guanghua, Zou Feng already knew that many of these True Disciples enjoyed using the Outer Body Incarnation technique.
So the Liu Chenyu before him was likely not her real body either.
"Senior Sister Liu, may I ask what brings you here?" the bearded disciple asked in confusion after bowing to her.
The third floor of the Demon Suppression Tower was no place for someone like Liu Chenyu.
"This has nothing to do with you. Leave us!" Liu Chenyu couldn’t be bothered with these disciples, her eyes fixed on Zou Feng.
"Yes..."
Hearing this, the few guards of the Demon Suppression Tower had no choice but to slowly back away.
But they could tell the atmosphere was tense. Liu Chenyu seemed to be targeting Zou Feng, and they feared this wasn’t over.
So, although they withdrew, they didn’t leave the third floor of the Demon Suppression Tower. Instead, they waited by the entrance, afraid that real trouble might break out.
After all, they were the disciples responsible for guarding this place. Even if they feared Liu Chenyu, they couldn’t just completely ignore their duties.
However, one of them had already sped off, clearly as a precaution to notify a nearby Central Court Elder.
Seeing Liu Chenyu dismiss the guards, Zou Feng wasn’t flustered.
’Inside the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, not even a True Disciple would dare to do anything to me for real.’
’Besides, Liu Chenyu’s name is still not on the List of Gods.’
’Her goal, even now, is to engage in Dual Cultivation with me, or rather, to use the Replenishing Skill to get me under her thumb...’
"Originally, we were getting along so well. We were on the verge of forming a rare, wonderful bond..." Liu Chenyu said with a sigh.
Zou Feng said, "Senior Sister Liu, you must be joking. A bond formed through bewitchment can’t be considered a wonderful one, can it?"
"Besides, I am merely an Inner Sect Disciple. How could I possibly be worthy of Senior Sister Liu..."
Liu Chenyu smiled, then blinked her eyes and said, "As long as the feelings are mutual, there’s no such thing as one person being unworthy of the other!"
"I never meant you any harm before. I just wanted to slowly cultivate our feelings for each other. But since things have come to this, I’ll be blunt..."
"Zou Feng, are you willing to become my Dao Companion?"
As she asked this last question, Liu Chenyu’s expression was extremely serious.
If he hadn’t inquired about Liu Chenyu’s history, Zou Feng might have actually believed that a True Disciple had fallen for him at first sight, willing to overlook the differences in their status and Realm to be with him.
’A "domineering rich woman falls for me" scenario might be absurd, but the probability of it happening in reality isn’t zero.’
However, during the time he traveled back to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect with Jiang Wanzhao on the Flying Celestial Ship, he hadn’t forgotten to seize the opportunity to ask about the situation with this True Disciple behind the Immortal Association.
Jiang Wanzhao’s evaluation of her was simple and direct: a bitch.
The most important rule of the Immortal Association was that female members were not allowed to have male Dao Companions.
The entire Immortal Association generally held male Cultivators of lower Realms in contempt and hostility.
Yet, the True Disciple backing this group of unconventional Fairies, Liu Chenyu, was herself a Female Cultivator who kept numerous male concubines and was extremely skilled in Dual Cultivation and replenishment.
’So when Liu Chenyu said she wanted me to become her Dao Companion, she really meant she wanted me to become one of her Dao Companions.’
’Not to mention, Liu Chenyu’s Dual Cultivation is primarily focused on replenishment, a far cry from a Dual Cultivation Skill like the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill, which benefits both parties.’
’It’s like I thought before: Liu Chenyu doesn’t intend to kill me, but if I really did engage in Dual Cultivation with her, my cultivation path would probably be ruined before long.’
"Don’t believe the rumors and gossip from the outside world. I always treat my Dao Companions extremely well. And what you realized before, using ’Dual Cultivation’ to build a better Dao Foundation, is absolutely feasible!" Liu Chenyu continued to persuade him patiently.
"Jiang Wanzhao has offended too many people. Your future is bleak if you follow her!"
"Stop hesitating. Come with me. I will never treat you unfairly..."
These words made Zou Feng’s head feel light again, and he actually started to feel that Liu Chenyu was being very sincere.
’Is she still using her bewitching and hypnotic arts on me?’
"I am grateful for Senior Sister Liu’s favor, but I am unworthy of such a blessing. Farewell!"
Further words were useless. Zou Feng turned to leave as he spoke his refusal.
Just then, a Central Court Elder arrived on the third floor.
This Central Court Elder seemed to guess what had happened immediately and couldn’t help but frown at Liu Chenyu.
With a Central Court Elder present, Zou Feng naturally felt more confident in leaving.
However, it seemed Liu Chenyu had no intention of stopping Zou Feng in the first place.
Even after being rejected, her expression didn’t show any anger or humiliation.
Instead, she remained smiling radiantly at Zou Feng’s back. "Zou Feng, think it over. You can come find me anytime once you’ve thought it through."
"The gate to my immortal path is always open for you..."
Her words made goosebumps break out all over Zou Feng’s skin.
Only after walking out of the Demon Suppression Tower did Zou Feng finally let out a few heavy breaths.
His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
There was nothing he could do. Liu Chenyu wasn’t after his life, but she had nearly completely bewildered his mind.
If not for the Clear Heart Soul Suppressing Talisman granted by the Celestial Dao Cauldron, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
