32: Chapter 32 Don't Leave Tonight
"Br... Brother, you..."
Luo Qin's voice carried a hint of imperceptible tremor. Under the moonlight, her heroic and pretty face was as red as a ripe apple at this moment.
She had never seen such a scene full of masculinity and aggressiveness.
Gao Feng's body, every inch of his muscle lines seemed like the most perfect masterpiece of heaven, filled with explosive power.
The water droplets not yet dry on his skin, under the reflection of the moonlight, were like flowing starlight, exuding a heart-palpitating charm.
Especially the faint, not yet fully restrained Qi from his recent Breakthrough, was like the strongest realgar wine, making her feel dizzy and causing her heartbeat to accelerate uncontrollably.
Gao Feng turned around upon hearing the sound and was slightly stunned to see Luo Qin, who was only wearing thin pajamas that revealed her curves.
"Did I wake you up?"
He smiled, his voice more vigorous and magnetic than before.
"N... No."
Luo Qin hurriedly averted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes, and subconsciously tightened her coat. "I just heard some movement outside and came out to check."
"It's nothing, go back to sleep." Gao Feng said, turning to return to his room.
"Wait!" Luo Qin gathered her courage and called out to him.
She walked up to Gao Feng, tilted her head, and her bright eyes flashed with an unusual luster under the moonlight.
She stretched out her onion-like fingers and carefully touched Gao Feng's iron-hard chest.
"Brother, did you... did you have a Breakthrough?"
She could clearly feel that inside Gao Feng's body, there was a terrifying power hidden, many times stronger than before.
"Mm."
Gao Feng nodded, not hiding it.
Receiving a positive reply, Luo Qin's eyes instantly burst with unspeakable joy and admiration.
She knew what this meant.
It meant that Panshi Stockade now possessed a true stabilizing force!
It also meant that the man in front of her was one big step closer to that goal in his heart!
"That's great... that's great!"
She muttered to herself, incoherent with excitement.
Watching her heartfelt joy, a warm current surged in Gao Feng's heart.
He suddenly realized that Luo Qin had matured quite a bit.
She had grown into a graceful and heroic young woman, standing in front of him in thin clothing at this moment. The delicate, youthful fragrance, mixed with the unique scent of her sweat, constantly stimulated Gao Feng's nerves, which had become exceptionally sensitive after his recent Breakthrough.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.
Luo Qin also sensed this strange atmosphere; her face turned even redder, and her breathing became a bit hurried.
"I... I'll leave first."
She dared not stay any longer, dropped a sentence, and was about to return to her room.
"Wait!"
Gao Feng looked at her somewhat flustered back and shook his head with a chuckle.
"Don't leave tonight."
...
The next day, the news of Gao Feng's Breakthrough to the third rank spread throughout the core of Panshi Stockade.
Everyone was incredibly excited by it!
If Panshi Stockade had previously been a small boat that could capsize at any moment in a storm.
Then now, they possessed an incredibly sturdy keel!
With this keel, they had the confidence to resist all storms!
After handling some necessary matters, Gao Feng returned to the iron cage where the Tiger King was detained.
After being fed spiritual water for these days, the Tiger King's injuries had long healed, and it was even more spirited than before.
Its golden fur shone brightly in the sunlight, full of majesty.
But Gao Feng could feel that the violent Qi on its body had diminished a lot, replaced by a kind of restrained, more spiritual majesty.
Seeing Gao Feng arrive, the Tiger King no longer roared and threatened like before; it just stood up from the ground, its golden pupils calmly watching him.
"It seems the time is almost right," Gao Feng thought to himself.
He made a move that shocked everyone.
He ordered the guards to open the door of the iron cage!
"Stockade Master! You mustn't!"
"This beast is fierce and untamable; you must not take such a risk!"
The surrounding soldiers exclaimed in alarm and were about to step forward to stop him.
"All of you, step back."
Gao Feng's voice was calm but carried an unquestionable majesty.
He walked into the iron cage slowly, all by himself.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
They gripped their weapons nervously, staring intently at the man and the tiger inside the cage, ready to rush in at the slightest sign of trouble.
Inside the cage, the Tiger King watched Gao Feng walk in, its body slightly tense, a low "wooo" growl emitting from its throat, clearly in a state of high alert.
Gao Feng did not approach any further, just standing still at a distance of three steps away from it.
He did not speak, nor did he make any unnecessary movements; he just calmly met the Tiger King's gaze with eyes that had become deeper and sharper after his Breakthrough.
He was using this method to demonstrate his strength and confidence to this proud creature.
The atmosphere froze to the extreme for a moment.
Time passed second by second.
The man and the tiger just stood there in a silent standoff.
Finally, seemingly sensing the powerful, steady, and malicious-free Qi on Gao Feng, the Tiger King's tense body slowly relaxed.
The low growl in its throat also ceased.
Gao Feng knew he had won the bet.
The spiritual water feeding these days not only healed its body but also opened up its intelligence.
It was already able to distinguish who was truly good to it and who was a true threat to its existence.
He slowly extended his hand, palm up, and held it out in front of the Tiger King.
This was a gesture representing goodwill and a lack of defense.
The Tiger King looked at the hand, hesitating for a long time.
It could easily tear this hand into pieces with its sharp claws.
But it could also feel a kind of Qi from that hand that made it feel close and comfortable.
Finally, in the eyes of everyone who was terrified, this once arrogant King of Beasts slowly lowered its proud head.
It stuck out its huge tongue and gently licked Gao Feng's palm.
With the warm and rough sensation coming, a victorious smile finally appeared on Gao Feng's face.
He knew that from this moment on, this third-rank Tiger King was no longer his prisoner.
But the most loyal and powerful partner of Panshi Stockade!
He succeeded!
He gently stroked the Tiger King's huge head, while the Tiger King narrowed its eyes comfortably, emitting a satisfied "purring" sound from its throat, like a tamed big cat.
This scene left the surrounding soldiers dumbfounded, and then they burst into thunderous cheers!
Their Stockade Master not only had heaven-defying strength but could even subdue such a fierce tiger!
This was simply a miracle!
The look in their eyes when they looked at Gao Feng, besides awe, had added a bit more fanatical admiration!
In their hearts, Gao Feng's image was no different from a deity!
