It was as the poem says: "Panting in surprise during a fragrant, jade-like battle, the gasping of the young oriole is soft."
Hu Liena's request was granted. With great excitement, she upheld the will of her predecessors and completed the necessary achievement.
The next day at noon.
Hu Liena slowly opened her eyes, gently turned to her side, and gazed at Lin Feng's sleeping face, her heart surging with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness.
Her gaze inadvertently fell on the piece of cloth by the bed that had been stained red with blood. It was the witness to last night's precious memory. A trace of tenderness flashed in Hu Liena's eyes. She reached out, her fingertips gently brushing over the cloth.
She carefully put it away as if it were a treasure, gently placing it into her storage soul tool.
Savoring everything from last night, it was not just a physical union, but a meeting of souls. It was the warmth and belonging she had dreamed of for many years.
"Teacher Lin Feng... Brother Lin Feng, hmph hmph~" She chanted in her heart, the corners of her lips unconsciously turning up.
Sliding across Lin Feng's chest, her fingers traced light patterns on it, feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat, as if it were resonating with her own.
This intimate contact made her even more certain of her feelings.
Just then, Lin Feng seemed to feel her touch and slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Hu Liena gazing at him tenderly, a doting smile appeared on his face. The two looked at each other and smiled. Without words, their feelings for each other were already clear.
Lin Feng pulled her into his arms. They were already bare with each other, and with the best part of the day being the morning, both of their bodies reacted unconsciously.
Eee...
A shy blush appeared on Hu Liena's face.
The talent from the depths of her bloodline made mist instantly rise in her eyes.
"Brother Lin Feng~"
Hu Liena lay on Lin Feng's chest, her head tilted up slightly, her ruby lips pressing against the side of his mouth.
"If you need my help, Nana doesn't mind."
Lin Feng responded, one arm wrapped around the boneless waist in his embrace, the other tapping her forehead just as he used to.
This girl, did she really think her combat power was that strong?
If he hadn't deliberately held back during the fight, how could she have lasted?
Lin Feng laughed to himself. Looking at her eyes, which were full of determination and shyness, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
"Ah!"
Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Feng rolled over.
Looking at Hu Liena beneath him, he brushed the fine hair from her cheek, his eyes full of doting affection and tenderness. He said softly, "Nana, do you know? The way you look now is like a little fox that has just learned to hunt, both brave and cute."
Hearing this, the blush on Hu Liena's face deepened. She turned her head slightly to avoid Lin Feng's heated gaze, but soon met his gaze again.
She said slyly:
"Brother Lin Feng, then do you know what a fox soul beast looks like when it's hunting?"
"Oh?" Lin Feng leaned closer. "Tell me about it?"
Hu Liena propped her hands on his chest and said softly, "Once it has locked onto its prey, it will absolutely not let go easily. Track, locate, pounce."
Yip~
With a light yelp like a fox's, Hu LENA had already activated her Martial Soul True Body state. Having cultivated the Innate Soul Evolution Art, Hu Liena had long since integrated her martial soul's origin into her body.
The minor details of this Martial Soul True Body's appearance could be changed at will according to her own heart.
At this moment, a fluffy and agile fox tail had appeared behind her. Her ears were slightly pointed and covered with a layer of fine fur, which seemed to be able to captivate one's soul with a slight tremble.
The faint smile on her lips, tinged with a bit of charm, was enough to make all things in the world fall for her.
The single fox tail split into three, like nimble snakes, tightly winding around their two bodies. The soft touch made an indescribable feeling rise in Lin Feng's heart.
"Brother~"
As her eyes shifted, her charm blossomed. A voice as soft as bone sounded in Lin Feng's ear, melodious and pleasant, like the music of heaven, making Lin Feng's heartbeat quicken.
Lin Feng looked at the Hu Liena before him and only felt a rush of hot blood to his head.
He now understood what a vixen was. King Zhou really had good taste! Yes!
He reached out and gently stroked the fox tail wrapped around him, feeling its softness and warmth. "Nana, the way you look now is truly irresistible."
Hearing this, a trace of pride and coyness flashed in Hu Liena's eyes. She wrapped herself even more tightly around Lin Feng and rested her head on his shoulder. "Nana just wants to be with Brother Lin Feng like this forever."
Her voice was soft, and every word was like a sweet spring flowing from the bottom of her heart, nourishing Lin Feng's heart, and also nourishing…
Lin Feng grabbed one of the fox tails, eliciting a soft moan. The sound carried a hint of coquettishness and a hint of shyness, like a gentle breeze at dawn, brushing against Lin Feng's heartstrings.
Hu Liena's body trembled slightly. Surprise and shyness flashed in her eyes at the same time, as well as a large portion of hidden delight. She had not expected Lin Feng to make such a move.
"Brother Lin Feng, you..." Her words were tinged with a hint of confusion, but more of anticipation, looking forward to Lin Feng's next move.
Although she was shy in her heart, she seemed to be enjoying this intimacy and warmth with Lin Feng more, this slightly rougher action than last night.
For some reason, an endless sense of excitement rose in her heart, just like last night when Lin Feng agreed to let her take on the secret chamber duties of the former Pope and the Young Lord of the Spirit Empire.
Her heart was beating fast!
Hu Liena lowered her head slightly, and a deeper blush appeared on her face.
Lin Feng felt that he had to give Hu Liena a deeper, more unforgettable experience; otherwise, with her misunderstood combat power, she would probably be utterly defeated in the future.
Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be pondering something, Hu Liena took the lead and launched an attack.
"Track, locate, pounce."
Time passed quietly. Noon had passed, and evening was quietly approaching.
The atmosphere in the room was still warm...
Hu Liena and Lin Feng's figures appeared even more ambiguous in the dim yellow light.
Her eyes sparkled with cunning and charm, like a fox truly in the act of hunting, completely focused on enjoying this moment of the hunt.
Their sweat mingled together, emitting a unique fragrance.
An even more delicate blush appeared on Hu Liena's face. Her eyes were filled with a longing and dependence on Lin Feng.
"Brother Lin Feng, Nana loves you so much..."
Hu Liena murmured softly, her voice as soft as bone.
Lin Feng's heart beat even more wildly.
Their bodies embraced again, their passion like a volcano, unstoppable.
A night passed.
Her Majesty the current Pope, Hu Liena, who had overestimated herself, was ultimately defeated.
When the time came to the early morning again, Hu Liena slowly opened her eyes and found that she was lying in Lin Feng's arms.
The two were still holding each other tightly, their breaths intertwined.
She moved slightly, but felt a soreness in her body, the consequence of last night.
"How terrifying. I'm already a demigod."
"As expected, I still can't compare to Sister Xue'er and the others..."
A shy blush appeared on Hu Liena's face, but her heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness. She looked up at Lin Feng and found that he was also looking at her tenderly, his eyes full of doting affection and love.
"Brother Lin Feng, good morning." Hu Liena said softly. Her voice was still a little lazy and hoarse for some unknown reason, but it made her seem even more charming and moving.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and reached out to gently caress her cheek. "Good morning, my Nana."
After getting up, Hu Liena and Lin Feng washed up together and enjoyed the breakfast Lin Feng made together, like an ordinary couple in the mortal world, yet full of happiness and warmth.
As for the affairs of the Papal Palace?
That night, after Bibi Dong brought Lin Feng over, she had already ordered that no one was to approach the Papal Palace for three days.
This was to give the two of them a completely private and undisturbed space.
And Bibi Dong was also very sure that Hu Liena, whose passions were about to be ignited, would not have considered the matter of giving orders. All external affairs would find it difficult to disturb her.
However, the three days' time was really her overestimation of Hu Liena.
Even though Lin Feng had only tried to increase the intensity of the battle slightly, she could only last for a little more than half a day…
After the meal, Hu Liena held Lin Feng's arm, and the two walked out of the secret chamber, out of the study, side by side, into the sunlight, feeling the peace and freshness of the early morning.
In the garden outside the Papal Palace, flowers vied for beauty, and dewdrops sparkled on the tips of the leaves. Everything seemed so vibrant.
"Sister Ah Yin and the others took care of this place back then. I've been looking after it. It's not bad, right?"
Hu Liena said to Lin Feng with a smile. She gently stroked a blooming rose beside her, her voice carrying a hint of pride and nostalgia.
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes full of admiration. "Nana, you've done a great job."
Hearing Lin Feng's praise, Hu Liena's heart sweetened, and an even more brilliant smile bloomed on her face. She held Lin Feng's hand and strolled through the garden, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
"Brother Lin Feng, did you know? I've always liked it here. This garden seems to have a magic that can make me forget all my troubles." Hu Liena said softly, her gaze gently falling on the surrounding flowers and plants, as if she were communicating with them.
Her gaze swept over every flower and plant here, and suddenly stopped in a corner.
"Begonia flowers..."
Hu Liena blinked. Immersed in the joy of the warmth with Lin Feng, some of her reason and memories seemed to have returned.
"Sacred Heart Begonia, Lingling, stinky snake, and big kitty and the others... Mmm."
She glanced at Lin Feng beside her and silently recited the names of these good sisters in her heart. During the time that Lin Feng and the others had gone to the Divine Realm, she was not the only one who had grown.
In this long period of time, they, who had all been Lin Feng's disciples, had also taken steps forward on their own paths of growth.
Ye Lingling, although her auxiliary-type martial soul's cultivation speed was naturally slow and she had started a little late, her talent was very high. Now she was already a Peerless Douluo and was about to step into the god-level.
She had heard that the Goddess of Life, Sister Qing Xuan, would personally guide her future path, her god seat, when she became a demigod.
Times were different now. The life level of the Douluo Star had already undergone several leaps due to the spiritual energy formation, the ascension of the Divine Realm, and other reasons. Therefore, god-level beings could also exist on the Douluo Continent.
Moreover, because of the cultivation system, a god seat was not a necessity.
Although a god seat was undoubtedly a symbol of strength and an affirmation of one's own potential.
Thinking of these sisters of hers, Hu Liena pondered for a moment in her heart.
She hadn't forgotten that these girls, while outwardly saying they respected their teacher and that "Teacher Lin Feng is our most important guide," were actually all harboring ulterior motives and ill intentions.
Every single one of them wanted to ride the master and defy the ancestor, to join the crusade against Lin Feng.
If it weren't for the lack of opportunity, they would probably have already made their move.
"Hmph, especially that stinky snake. Relying on the fact that she knew Brother Lin Feng early and was the first to get some benefits, she's always showing off in front of me, as if there's some special tacit understanding between her and Brother Lin Feng.
Little does she know that her grandfather, in truth, is just my subordinate. Although the previous generation of Consecrated Hall elders all went to the Divine Realm, as long as he is in the lower realm, I am his superior in name."
"And that big kitty. I don't know how she developed at all. How can her chest be so full? Her figure is the best among us.
Although her personality is a bit cold, her thoughts are almost written on her face. When she talks about Brother Lin Feng, her eyes shine like stars, as if others can't see it.
Isn't it just that he saved your life, and also paved the way for you and supported your family... hmm, forget it, your reasons seem to be very sufficient..."
Hu Liena went through them in her mind and found that it seemed that Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling, who was with Dugu Yan, were the ones with the best temperament.
"That girl Lingling is a bit quiet, but she is exceptionally gentle. This must be the unique temperament of those with healing-type martial souls.
As for Zhuqing, although she doesn't talk much usually, she can always give the most considerate support at critical moments. Her personality is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush, which makes people feel very comfortable." Hu Liena thought to herself, the corners of her lips unconsciously turning up.
Since Sister Dong has sent Brother Lin Feng down, then the other sisters should be fine too, right? After all, the sisters on the Divine Star know about their little schemes. Yes...
Thinking of this, Hu Liena looked at Lin Feng and said with a smile, "Brother Lin Feng, how about you take a walk with me on the continent?"
"Of course." Lin Feng agreed with a smile.
For god-level existences, traveling naturally did not have to be bound by conventional methods. With a single thought, one could be a hundred li away.
The two instantly appeared in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Here?"
Hu Liena smiled. "Let's come and see one of the Five Elements formation nodes."
With a thought from Lin Feng, below, a figure was sitting cross-legged.
