114: Chapter 114 Xiao Wu's Kiss!

"The Heaven Dou region qualifiers have officially reached a successful Perfection today."

"In this tournament, many outstanding young Spirit Masters have emerged; they are the pride of my Heaven Dou Empire."

Emperor Xue Ye's voice spread clearly throughout the venue via an amplifying spirit tool.

He first praised the hard work and competitive spirit of all the participating teams as a matter of routine.

Subsequently, his gaze fell primarily on Qin Feng, who stood at the very front.

"Here, I wish to give special recognition to the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, Qin Feng."

"I have carefully watched every one of your matches."

"Your demeanor is steady, your strength is superb, and you defeat your enemies in an instant with every move."

"Without a doubt, you are the most outstanding peerless Genius in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Emperor Xue Ye was not stingy with his words of praise.

He even directly used absolute terms like "most outstanding."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience broke into an uproar.

Although the members of other academies felt unwilling, none dared to voice a rebuttal in the Face of Qin Feng's terrifying track record.

Emperor Xue Ye raised his hand, signaling for the audience to remain quiet.

Then, two graceful maids carrying trays covered with red cloth walked quickly to the center of the ring.

Supported by Xue Qinghe, Emperor Xue Ye walked down from the high platform.

He personally came before Qin Feng.

Ning Fengzhi and Salas followed closely behind.

Emperor Xue Ye personally lifted the red cloth on the tray.

What met the eye was an exquisite trophy made of pure gold, along with a purple-gold crystal card containing one hundred thousand gold coins.

"Qin Feng, this is the highest honor belonging to the first place of the Heaven Dou region."

"I will not only bestow these material rewards upon you, but I have also decided to exceptionally grant you the title of Viscount of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"After you return in triumph from the finals, I will bestow a luxury mansion upon you in the most prosperous area of Heaven Dou City."

Emperor Xue Ye's tone was very sincere, and his intention to recruit him was beyond words.

Such generous rewards were simply a life-changing opportunity for a young Spirit Master who had not yet graduated.

Qin Feng stood where he was, quietly looking at Emperor Xue Ye before him.

He did not kneel, nor did he perform any noble etiquette.

He simply reached out casually and picked up the crystal card and the pure gold trophy.

"Thanks."

Qin Feng uttered two words indifferently.

His attitude was as casual as if he had bought a cheap bun on the street.

Such a rude act made the royal guards on the side very dissatisfied.

"Audacious madman! His Majesty is personally presenting you with an award, and you dare to Face the monarch without kneeling!" A captain of the guards drew the longsword at his waist and pointed it at Qin Feng, shouting angrily.

Emperor Xue Ye immediately turned and scolded, "Stand down! Qin Feng is a pillar of my Heaven Dou Empire. A Genius naturally has the pride of a Genius; I specially permit him to Face the monarch without kneeling."

The guard captain was so frightened that he quickly put away his longsword and retreated to the side submissively.

Qin Feng didn't pay any attention to the guard at all, turning to throw the trophy and crystal card to Zhu Zhuqing behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing caught them steadily and held them carefully in her arms.

"Master, do these things need to be put into the Storage Ring?" Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly and asked softly.

"Just find some corner to stuff them in, they're just a pile of scrap metal," Qin Feng said casually, not caring at all.

His voice wasn't loud.

But Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and the others who were very close heard him clearly.

The smile on Emperor Xue Ye's Face froze for a moment.

The pure gold trophy personally presented by him, the dignified Emperor of the Empire, was actually called scrap metal to his Face.

But in order to win Qin Feng over to the imperial camp, Emperor Xue Ye forced himself to swallow this grievance.

He quickly adjusted his expression and spoke again.

"Qin Feng, I have heard that you have not yet been properly betrothed."

"My youngest daughter, Princess Xue Ke, is about the same age as you. She is beautiful, well-educated, and sensible."

"If you are willing, I can make the decision to betroth Princess Xue Ke to you, letting you directly become the Prince Consort of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Hearing Emperor Xue Ye's proposal of marriage, the entire Great Spirit Arena became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Countless young Spirit Masters were so jealous their eyes turned red, and they breathed heavily. That was Princess Xue Ke, the apple of the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial Family's eye. If one could marry her, they would rise to the top in this life, enjoying endless glory and wealth. Even their Family could leap to become imperial relatives.

Emperor Xue Ye looked at Qin Feng with a Face full of kindness. He believed no one could refuse such a huge temptation. Beauty, wealth, and power—he had thrown them all at this teenage boy at once.

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. He didn't even look at Emperor Xue Ye, only looking down at Zhu Zhuqing, who was holding the trophy and crystal card in her arms.

"Did you hear that?" Qin Feng reached out, pinching Zhu Zhuqing's smooth and fair chin with two fingers. "The old Emperor wants to push his princess onto me as a wife."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head following Qin Feng's strength. Her bright cat-like eyes were full of docility and obedience.

"As long as Master likes it, it's fine." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was gentle, without the slightest hint of jealousy. "If Her Highness the Princess enters the door, Zhuqing will tell her all of Master's preferences. Zhuqing will also do her best to teach Her Highness how to serve Master."

Qin Feng laughed out loud, his chest heaving violently. He let go of Zhu Zhuqing's chin and turned to look at Emperor Xue Ye on the high platform.

"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. But I am a person accustomed to being lazy. The women by my side must be obedient, well-behaved, and also know how to massage legs, pound backs, and serve tea and water."

Qin Feng pointed a finger at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

"Your princess is of noble birth and has been pampered since childhood. Making her a foot-washing maid for me, she probably wouldn't be willing herself. I have no interest in bringing back such a vase to keep on display. You should leave her for someone else."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place exploded.

Continuous gasps of cold air came from the audience seats.

Someone actually publicly rejected the Emperor's marriage proposal and even belittled the princess as being inferior to a foot-washing maid. This was throwing the Face of the Heaven Dou imperial Family on the ground and stomping on it.

The smile on Emperor Xue Ye's Face completely froze. He had lived for so many years and been Emperor for decades, yet he had never been denied Face so publicly. He was so angry that his chest felt tight, and he coughed a few times.

The surrounding royal guards were so angry they drew their swords halfway, but hindered by the Emperor's previous order, they could only stand there staring.

"As for the title and mansion you mentioned, do as you please." Qin Feng stretched. "Zhuqing, let's go back and sleep."

"Yes, Master," Zhu Zhuqing replied obediently.

She tightly held that pile of "scrap metal" in Qin Feng's words, following behind Qin Feng like the most loyal follower.

Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of eyes, the two of them left the Great Spirit Arena through the entrance tunnel in a swaggering manner.

On the high platform, seeing this, Xue Qinghe quickly took a step forward.

"Father, please calm your anger. For a peerless Genius like Qin Feng, his personality is always different from ordinary people. He is born arrogant and is not constrained by worldly etiquette. If we forcibly apply pressure, we will instead push him to the opposite side. The loss would outweigh the gain."

Emperor Xue Ye took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, and patted the armrest of the dragon throne.

"Qinghe is right. This boy's strength is too terrifying; he can only be won over and must never be antagonized. The matter of the marriage will be discussed later."

Ning Fengzhi stood to the side, looking in the direction Qin Feng had left, his evaluation of this young man rising a few more levels in his heart. To dare to reject the Emperor to his Face, this boldness was unique among his peers.

Salas was blooming with joy inside. The Heaven Dou imperial Family suffering a setback was exactly a good opportunity for Spirit Hall to step in. He had already begun to conceive in his mind how to write a report to the Supreme Pontiff about this matter.

Rose Hotel, top-floor luxury suite.

Qin Feng pushed open the door and walked in, flopping directly onto the large, soft leather sofa.

After fighting several matches today, although he hadn't exerted much effort, standing on the ring listening to those people read award speeches was also quite a boring thing.

Zhu Zhuqing casually threw the pure gold trophy and the purple-gold crystal card onto the coffee table in the corner. She locked the door behind her and walked to the sofa.

"Master, do you need me to draw the bathwater for you now?"

Zhu Zhuqing knelt half-down beside the sofa, her hands on her knees, looking up at Qin Feng.

"Go ahead, make the water temperature a bit hotter. The arena was a mess today, full of other people's sweat, and the smell gave me a headache," Qin Feng ordered with his eyes closed.

"Zhuqing understands."

Zhu Zhuqing stood up and walked into the bathroom with an elegant pace.

The sound of water rang out. After a while, Zhu Zhuqing came out. She bent down, her hands reaching for Qin Feng's collar, and very skillfully unbuttoned Qin Feng's outer clothing.

Her movements were very light, for fear of hurting Qin Feng. After the outer clothing was taken off, she knelt down again to remove Qin Feng's shoes and socks.

Qin Feng leaned on the sofa, letting Zhu Zhuqing handle him.

Changing into a loose bathrobe, Qin Feng walked into the spacious bathroom. The huge circular bathtub was already filled with hot water, and a layer of fresh red rose petals floated on the surface.

Qin Feng stepped into the bathtub and let out a comfortable sigh. The hot water enveloped his whole body, dispersing the slight fatigue he had picked up at the arena.

Zhu Zhuqing did not take off the black tight-fitting qipao she was wearing. She directly rolled up her sleeves, took a soft white towel, and knelt at the edge of the bathtub.

She wet the towel in the hot water, wrung out the excess, and gently wiped Qin Feng's broad shoulders.

In the steaming bathroom, the temperature was very high. A layer of fine sweat soon broke out on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead.

Water splashed on her from time to time, wetting the thin qipao fabric.

The black fabric clung tightly to her skin, outlining her exaggerated devilish figure even more breathtakingly. One could even vaguely see the snowy skin showing through the fabric.

"Master, is the pressure okay?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.

"A little bit heavier. Press harder on the left shoulder." Qin Feng leaned against the edge of the bathtub with his eyes closed to rest.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately increased the strength in her hands. She carefully washed Qin Feng's back, kneading the muscle groups on his shoulders.

After washing his back, she moved to the front of the bathtub, reaching out to wash Qin Feng's chest and arms.

Because she needed to bend over, the collar of Zhu Zhuqing's dress inevitably opened up.

Qin Feng opened his eyes, his gaze falling directly on the snowy white area of her chest.

He suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's slender and soft waist, and pulled her into his arms with force.

"Ah!"

Zhu Zhuqing gave a startled cry, lost her balance, and fell directly over the edge of the bathtub into the warm water.

A huge splash of water flew in all directions, wetting the sink and the floor.

The large bathtub was more than enough to accommodate two people.

Zhu Zhuqing was soaked through, like a drenched cat. The black qipao clung completely to her body, revealing her exquisite curves without reservation. Her wet hair stuck to her fair cheeks.

She lay on Qin Feng's chest, her hands flusteredly pushing against Qin Feng's shoulders, her cheeks instantly flushing with an enticing red.

"Master..." Her voice became soft and waxy, carrying a hint of being at a loss.

"Your clothes are all wet, we might as well wash together. To save trouble later." Qin Feng's hands moved under Zhu Zhuqing's back, feeling that amazing elasticity and smoothness.

Zhu Zhuqing did not resist; she leaned submissively in Qin Feng's arms, letting Qin Feng's large hands roam all over her body.

The two of them lingered in the bathtub for a long time. The sound of slight ripples echoed in the bathroom.

Not until the water temperature began to drop did Qin Feng pick up Zhu Zhuqing and stand up from the bathtub.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't care that she was still dripping water; she quickly brought a large dry bath towel, carefully dried Qin Feng's body, and then served him as he put on a clean silk robe.

The two returned to the living room.

Qin Feng walked to the lounge chair by the balcony and sat down, looking at the bustling night view of Heaven Dou City outside the window. The lights on the street were colorful and very lively.

Zhu Zhuqing went into the bedroom and changed into a clean black camisole nightdress. The nightdress was very short, just covering the base of her thighs, revealing two rounded and slender beautiful legs.

She walked to the lounge chair and skillfully knelt on the carpet at Qin Feng's feet. She moved Qin Feng's legs onto her own thighs and began to massage with moderate force.

From the ankles to the calves, and then to the knees, Zhu Zhuqing massaged extremely seriously. She took care of every inch of muscle with her heart.

Just then, the door to the suite was knocked on urgently.

"Brother Qin Feng! Are you asleep?" Xiao Wu's clear and sweet voice came from outside the door.

Qin Feng tilted his chin toward Zhu Zhuqing.

"Go open the door."

Zhu Zhuqing put down Qin Feng's legs, got up, and walked over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Xiao Wu slipped in like a loach. Following closely behind was Ning Rongrong, carrying a food box.

Xiao Wu was wearing a pink camisole top today, and the bottom was an ultra-short pleated skirt. The rabbit ears on her head were standing up excitedly.

Ning Rongrong was in a cyan short glazed skirt, appearing pure and noble.

"Brother Qin Feng!"

Seeing Qin Feng sitting on the lounge chair, Xiao Wu cheered and pounced directly over.

She sat astride Qin Feng's thighs without any reservation, her arms around Qin Feng's neck, pressing her Face against Qin Feng's chest and rubbing it hard.

"Brother Qin Feng was so handsome today! You didn't even want the Emperor's marriage proposal. I knew Brother Qin Feng was the best." Xiao Wu looked up, her large eyes full of the light of worship.

Qin Feng naturally hugged Xiao Wu's slender waist, his palm stroking her thigh.

"Just a mere princess, how could she be as cute as our Xiao Wu?" Qin Feng joked with a smile, his fingers even pinching Xiao Wu's fuzzy rabbit ears.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was so happy her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she proactively leaned in to give Qin Feng a forceful kiss on his cheek.
