“Damn that Fo Zhu, what a load of nonsense.”
The good mood of the day had been utterly ruined by Fo Zhu. Li Feng felt his current state of mind was particularly irritable.
He simply could not understand why Fo Zhu was going to such lengths to get him to join the National Security Bureau. If it were his previous life, he would have joined without hesitation, but in this life, he absolutely would not. In this life, he only wanted to live for himself.
Perhaps such thoughts were exceedingly selfish, but if people did not look out for themselves, heaven and earth would punish them. Why could he not live for himself?
Moreover, this was an era ruled by aristocratic families, headed by the eight great top clans, along with numerous first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate families forming the ruling class. Li Feng, as the first heir of the Li family and the future helmsman, had such a status that he had no need to join the National Security Bureau at all.
Could Fo Zhu’s invitation to join the National Security Bureau have some ulterior motive?
Li Feng could not help but fall into contemplation. If Fo Zhu’s invitation had an ulterior motive, then what was it?
Li Feng could not help but recall Zhong Shu Hui’s words. Could this Fo Zhu be inviting him to join the National Security Bureau because he was a martial artist?
Yes, it must be that.
Li Feng’s expression darkened involuntarily. From Zhong Shu Hui’s mouth, he had learned that in this era, management of martial artists was extremely strict. Thinking of how Fo Zhu had repeatedly warned him of the consequences of not joining the National Security Bureau, that bureau was likely a special organisation for managing martial artists. Fo Zhu’s invitation to join was actually to control him.
At this thought, Li Feng’s face sank further. If that were truly the case, then caution was needed. Though refusing Fo Zhu would not lead to pursuit by the state apparatus, if there were any conspiracies or tricks, it would be truly hard to guard against.
In his previous life, Li Feng had toiled for the nation for so many years, and his understanding of the state apparatus was no less than that of the current national leaders. The wise minds serving the nation were countless. Any scheme they devised would be enough to overwhelm him.
Moreover, the first to target him might well be Fo Zhu. However, though he would likely face all sorts of difficulties, Li Feng did not regret his decision. If he could not even control his own fate, then what meaning was there in living?
Thinking of Fo Zhu’s sullen face when he left earlier, a cold smile tugged at Li Feng’s lips. Fo Zhu, bring whatever tricks you have. Let this young master see just what you are capable of.
“Li Feng, what are you thinking about?”
At that moment, a voice rang out. Li Feng looked up to find that at some unknown point, Hu Yuanyuan had returned and was looking at him with a face full of curiosity.
In the instant he saw Hu Yuanyuan, all of Li Feng’s troubles vanished from his mind. Being together with family and incidentally pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, that was the life he wanted.
Whatever joining the National Security Bureau, let it go to hell!
“I am asking you, what are you thinking about?” Hu Yuanyuan came before Li Feng and nudged him.
“Oh, just thinking about some things. Why are you back so early today?” Li Feng came back to his senses and asked.
“Early? It is already dark outside.” Hu Yuanyuan said discontentedly.
“Oh, is it?” Li Feng then realised and looked outside. Sure enough, it was dark. He had unwittingly pondered for so long.
“What are you thinking about?” Hu Yuanyuan asked curiously.
“I am thinking about your cultivation. Yuanyuan, starting from tonight, I will teach you to cultivate.” Li Feng said.
“Tonight?” Hu Yuanyuan was taken aback.
“Yes, tonight.” The matter with Fo Zhu made Li Feng decide to have Hu Yuanyuan start cultivating immediately. Once she had the power to protect herself, he would have one less worry.
Hu Yuanyuan nodded. She was also very curious about cultivation and wondered if, after cultivating, she would be like those martial arts experts on television, flying about.
After the two had dinner and dismissed the servants, Li Feng looked at Hu Yuanyuan and said, “Shall we go to my room or yours?”
“What do you mean?” Hu Yuanyuan looked at Li Feng warily, thinking he was up to no good.
“Miss, you cannot cultivate in the living room, can you?” Li Feng smiled. At a glance at Hu Yuanyuan’s expression, he knew what she was thinking.
“Then… then whatever you like…” Hu Yuanyuan said after a good while.
“Let us go.” Li Feng took Hu Yuanyuan’s hand and headed towards his room.
With her jade hand held by Li Feng, Hu Yuanyuan’s face flushed red, and her heart pounded wildly. This was her first time entering Li Feng’s room, and also her first time entering a man’s room.
Thinking that it was Li Feng holding her hand, thinking of the intimate contacts with Li Feng before, Hu Yuanyuan only felt her steps were particularly heavy.
What if Li Feng pulled her into the room not to teach her cultivation, but to do to her as he had last time? Should she refuse or agree?
The living room was not far from Li Feng’s room, but to Hu Yuanyuan, this short distance felt exceedingly long.
Seeing Hu Yuanyuan following him like a shy little girl, a smile flashed across Li Feng’s lips.
When had Hu Yuanyuan been like a proud canary before him? But now, was she not tamed obediently by him?
“Yuanyuan, what is wrong with you?” Entering the room and closing the door, seeing Hu Yuanyuan’s flushed face, Li Feng asked knowingly.
“Nothing.” Hu Yuanyuan took a deep breath and said, “Li Feng, teach me cultivation now.”
“Alright, take off your clothes first.” Li Feng looked at Hu Yuanyuan and said.
“What?” Hu Yuanyuan was greatly startled, her face flushing crimson as she looked at Li Feng in disbelief. At this moment, she was certain that Li Feng had pulled her into the room not to teach her cultivation, but to take advantage of her. If it was cultivation, why undress?
What to do, what to do? Should she really undress before Li Feng?
No, no. How could she, Hu Yuanyuan, undress herself before Li Feng? If undressing was needed, he should help her.
Bah, bah, bah. What help her undress? Why should she let him undress her? What was she thinking? She could not let him succeed.
Right, she could not let Li Feng succeed.
But in this room, what if Li Feng forced himself? With his strength, could she resist?
For a moment, Hu Yuanyuan’s mind was a chaotic mess, filled with wild thoughts.
“Yes, exactly, undress.” Li Feng said solemnly, “The first step in cultivation is to recognise the acupoints. If you are wearing clothes, how can I teach you to identify them?”
“Recognise acupoints?” Hu Yuanyuan was stunned and could not help but glance at Li Feng, wondering if he was telling the truth or not.
“Yes, this is the first step in cultivation.” Li Feng nodded.
“Does recognising acupoints require undressing?” Hu Yuanyuan asked once more.
“It must. For martial artists, acupoints are crucial. If mistaken, it is easy to suffer qi deviation. Yuanyuan, if you want to become a martial artist, this is a necessary step.” Li Feng said solemnly.
“But, but…” Hu Yuanyuan hesitated. Undressing before Li Feng, she truly found it hard to do.
“Yuanyuan, what are you still worried about? You are my wife. Is there any taboo between us? Besides, which part of your body have I not touched?” Li Feng looked at Hu Yuanyuan and said.
“This…” Hu Yuanyuan’s face reddened, and she hesitated somewhat.
Li Feng watched her quietly, waiting for her decision.
“Everything?” After who knew how long, Hu Yuanyuan finally asked.
“No, leave your undergarments on.”
Hu Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and reached to undo her buttons. In an instant, Li Feng’s eyes widened.
