145: Chapter 145 Tasting the Nascent Soul Old Wine

True Monarch Hong Yue felt a slight warmth.

As time passed, she found her feelings for Chu Feng becoming increasingly complex.

At first, it might have been just admiration and curiosity, but later, as Chu Feng displayed various extraordinary qualities, this admiration gradually turned into attachment.

Finally, it evolved into an intense emotion that even she found hard to believe.

She had thought that after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, her state of mind would be as calm as an ancient well.

But she did not expect that upon seeing Chu Feng again, the agitation in her heart not only did not disappear but instead erupted like a volcano, impossible to suppress any longer.

She had already missed out once and did not want to miss a second time.

Today, she must ensure she would have no regrets; regardless of the outcome, she had to say what was on her mind and do what she wanted to do!

That was why she had dressed up like this, and why she had so eagerly invited Chu Feng up in her capacity as the Pavilion Master.

Seeing Chu Feng looking a bit dazed, True Monarch Hong Yue bit her lip, suddenly no longer hesitant, and with light lotus steps, she took the initiative to step forward.

That soft, delicate body coiled around Chu Feng like a spirit snake, her lotus-like arms wrapping around his neck. She tilted her face up, her beautiful eyes shimmering with moisture, and her voice was so seductive it seemed like it could drip water.

"I have missed you."

These three simple words contained endless longing and affection.

Since the beauty had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms and had spoken to this extent, if Chu Feng were still to hesitate, would he even be a man?

The doubts and concerns in his heart vanished completely at this moment.

"This is something you delivered to my door yourself." Chu Feng chuckled softly, reaching out to wrap his arms around her slender waist, feeling the warmth, softness, and slight trembling of the delicate body in his embrace.

True Monarch Hong Yue gave a soft hum, burying her burning cheeks against his chest, her earlobes turning completely red.

Chu Feng looked down, watching her slightly trembling eyelashes and her luscious, red lips, and a surge of passion rose in his heart.

Nascent Soul aged wine?

Today, he would have to properly taste this peerless vintage!

He swept True Monarch Hong Yue up into his arms, strode into the private room, and kicked the door shut behind him.

Inside the room, red candles flickered, and the fragrance became even more intoxicating.

When Chu Feng truly tasted this Nascent Soul aged wine, only one thought crossed his mind:

Hiss!!!

It was actually freshly unsealed!

This wine, wasn't it too fragrant?

And wasn't it too potent?

He had only taken a light sip, but a surge of pure, unimaginably vast Primordial Yin energy, like a bursting flood, rushed violently into his body, scouring the Meridians and acupoints of his entire body.

This power was too vast, too domineering.

It was so overwhelming that even with Chu Feng's powerful physique, which rivaled a Golden Core stage Body Cultivator, he felt somewhat unable to bear it; his head spun, and his legs actually went weak.

This feeling was unprecedented!

Fortunately, he had experienced countless life-and-death battles, his willpower was incredibly firm, and he had the experience and foundation of tasting hundreds of wines, so he gritted his teeth and endured the impact.

+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15!

Foundation Establishment Stage level 9!!!

Chu Feng had actually broken through from Foundation Establishment Stage level 8 to level 9 in just a single night!

One must know, he had only broken through to Foundation Establishment Stage level 8 a few days ago!

This cultivation speed, if spoken aloud, would be enough to make all the Geniuses in the entire Desolate Realm feel ashamed and unworthy.

Was this the terrifying aspect of the Nascent Soul aged wine just unsealed by a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

Chu Feng lay on the bed, panting heavily, his whole body drenched in sweat as if he had just been fished out of water; he was completely exhausted.

Tired, too tired!

An unprecedented sense of exhaustion swept over his entire body, making him unwilling to even move a finger.

There was no help for it; Foundation Establishment fighting a Nascent Soul, and a Nascent Soul with such high Battle Intent, practically "giving her all," he really could not quite handle it.

In the end, he was defeated.

This was the first time since he began to Cultivate that he had been defeated in a direct confrontation.

In the past, even when facing five opponents alone, he could handle it with ease, full of vigor, and slaughter his opponents without leaving a single piece of armor intact.

But this time, he had truly lost, lost completely.

Of course, although he had lost, the benefits he gained were also enormous.

The hard work of this night had earned him a full level of cultivation improvement; this kind of trade was simply as cost-effective as it could get.

Beside him.

Although True Monarch Hong Yue had profound cultivation, after all, it was her first time being unsealed.

And to ensure Chu Feng received the maximum benefit, she had held back almost nothing.

Even with a Nascent Soul True Monarch's astonishing recovery ability, she was currently somewhat weak and limp.

The next day.

The sun was high in the sky.

In his daze, Chu Feng felt something tickling his face.

He opened his eyes and met True Monarch Hong Yue's eyes, which were filled with smiles and tenderness.

She had already woken up and was lying on her side, gently brushing a strand of hair back and forth across his face, as playful as a little girl.

"You're awake?"

Seeing Chu Feng wake up, two blushes flew onto True Monarch Hong Yue's face again, her voice carrying a hint of hoarseness from her languor, which only added to her allure.

Chu Feng looked at the stunningly beautiful face before him and felt the warm, soft body beside him, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

There was satisfaction, tenderness, and also a trace of... the helplessness of defeat.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, it only turned into a soft sigh: "This Nascent Soul aged wine of yours is truly too powerful; I concede defeat."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Hong Yue was instantly blushing furiously from shyness, reaching out to tap his chest lightly, chiding: "Bad man, you've taken the advantage and are still acting like this!"

The two of them cherished the moment for a while, enjoying this rare, quiet time.

Just then, the true disciple jade token that Chu Feng had placed by the head of the bed suddenly began to vibrate frantically, emitting a buzzing sound, one burst after another, incessantly.

Chu Feng frowned, picked up the jade token, and probed it with his Divine Sense.

Good heavens, he did not know until he looked, and when he did, he was shocked.

The communication interface of the jade token was densely packed with hundreds of unread messages, and the sender was all the same person: Tang An!

Starting from yesterday afternoon, there was one every so often, with content ranging from the initial "Brother Feng, are you still there?".

"Brother Feng, reply when you see this".

To later ones like "Brother Feng, nothing happened to you, right?".

"Brother Feng, which floor are you on? I'll come find you!".

And finally, it had turned into "Brother Feng, if you don't reply, I'm going to 'report' this!".

It seemed that his disappearance for over ten hours had really worried this guy sick.

If this had not been Duobao Pavilion, Tang An probably would have reported it to the Sect.

Chu Feng was between laughter and tears, casually sending a reply to Tang An: "I'm fine, come to the ninth floor."

Not long after he finished replying.

There was a rush of hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by Tang An's iconic loud voice, filled with anxiety:

"Brother Feng! Brother Feng! Where are you? Are you still alive? Hurry up and reply!"

Along with the shouting, there was also the sound of him pounding on other doors.

Chu Feng shook his head helplessly and said to True Monarch Hong Yue: "I'll go out first, lest he really tears down Duobao Pavilion."

True Monarch Hong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, sitting up, putting on her outer garment, and said softly: "I will help you dress."

A dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch actually personally helping a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator dress—if this were to get out, the entire Desolate Realm would likely be shaken.

But True Monarch Hong Yue did it naturally, her eyes filled only with tenderness.

Clearly, Chu Feng's 'performance' had made her even more satisfied.

Soon, Chu Feng was dressed neatly and opened the door.

Outside the door.

In the long corridor, Tang An was standing not far away with an anxious look, accompanied by the pink-clad girl who had guided them yesterday.

The pink-clad girl still wore a professional smile on her face.

"Phew!!!"

Seeing Chu Feng walk out of the room safe and sound, completely unharmed, Tang An let out a long sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing as well.

He hurried over, looked Chu Feng up and down, and after confirming he was truly okay, he could not help but complain:

"Brother Feng, my dear brother! What is going on with you? I sent you so many messages, and you didn't reply to a single one! I thought you had been snatched away by some female demon to be drained dry; I was worried to death!"

Chu Feng chuckled and patted his shoulder: "I was a bit busy and didn't have time to look."

At this moment, the door behind them opened again, and True Monarch Hong Yue, now fully dressed, stepped out gracefully.

She had changed out of the alluring light gauze from last night and put on a simple, elegant moon-white dress.

Her dark hair was simply tied up; although she lacked the myriad charms of last night, she now possessed a more refined, otherworldly, dignified, and noble aura, like a Fairy from the Moon Palace, making one afraid to profane her.

The moment Tang An saw her, his eyes widened, he was completely dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg, and he stuttered: "This... who is this..."

Chu Feng smiled slightly and introduced her calmly: "This is Hong Yue, my... Dao Companion."

Upon hearing this, Tang An immediately cupped his hands in a salute, "So it is Sister-in-law! My apologies for the disrespect! Little brother Tang An pays his respects to Sister-in-law!"

True Monarch Hong Yue smiled slightly and nodded, "Hello, Brother Tang."

Tang An was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not; Sister-in-law, just call me Little Tang!"

Chu Feng did not introduce Hong Yue's true identity to Tang An in detail.

After all, she was a Nascent Soul True Monarch and the Pavilion Master of the Duobao Pavilion in Tianxian City.

He was afraid Tang An would not be able to handle the shock all at once.

After all, for a small Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator's Dao Companion to actually be a high-and-mighty Nascent Soul True Monarch, this news was simply too shocking.

Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile.

Chu Feng looked at Tang An and asked: "Old Tang, you were so anxious to find me, what happened?"

"Oh right! I almost forgot the important business!"

Tang An slapped his forehead, the smile on his face faded, and he said seriously, "There are results regarding the Sun Family matter!"

"Oh?" Chu Feng raised an eyebrow, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Since they had already formed a feud with the Sun Family, he had to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no future trouble.

"How was it handled?"

"Exterminated the clan and confiscated their assets!!"

Tang An had a hint of satisfaction on his face, "The Law Enforcement Hall moved very quickly, directly taking out the Sun Family's strongholds in Tianxian City and the surrounding areas; those who needed to be captured were captured, and those who needed to be killed were killed."

"The entire Sun Family has been completely removed from Tianxian City!"

Chu Feng had already expected this outcome.

The Sun Family actually dared to send people to intercept and kill a Sect True Disciple; this had already violated the bottom line of the Sect's rules, and without severe punishment, it would not be enough to deter others.

But Tang An paused, his expression becoming somewhat solemn again.
