Soon, a maid opened the door for him, gesturing that he could enter as he pleased.

Zou Feng strode inside. The maid who had opened the door, however, had no intention of following him in and closed it behind him.

This room was located in a part of Silk Cave near the top of the mountain cavern, so the lighting was decent.

After a quick look around, Zou Feng saw no luxurious decorations. Most of the furniture and fixtures were simple in style.

The only exception was in the center of the room: a massive bed, large enough for more than ten people to share a single blanket.

Not only was this bed huge, but it was also beautifully designed. One look was enough to tell it would be incredibly comfortable to sleep on.

And Teng Jun, whom he hadn’t seen for some time, was currently reclining on this very bed. Her legs, seemingly entangled in spider silk, were propped high in the air.

As for Teng Jun’s gaze, it was the perfect picture of seductive, silken allure.

"Teng Cave Master!"

The scene made Zou Feng’s eyelid twitch, but his expression immediately returned to normal as he cupped his fist in a slight bow.

"Here to see me about something?" Teng Jun smiled and beckoned. "Come, sit on the bed and talk."

Zou Feng was a little confused by this sudden seduction.

After all, while Teng Jun was in the habit of constantly exuding her Charm Power and teasing him with words, she had never taken any real action.

Besides, Zou Feng had long since found out that Teng Jun was an anomaly in Silk Cave; she had never cultivated any Replenishing Skills.

After spending time with her, Zou Feng had concluded that ’Teng Jun is likely the type who wants romance but is terrified of getting screwed, never daring to actually go through with it.’

So for her to meet him in her bedroom and proactively ask him to talk on the bed was far too abnormal.

Even setting all that aside, Zou Feng had made this special trip to see what was wrong with Teng Jun, not to travel a thousand miles just to get some.

But from the looks of it now, Teng Jun’s problem was a big one...

"Teng Cave Master, are you sure you want me to come up?" Zou Feng clasped his hands behind his back and smirked wickedly. "My self-control is terrible. You’d better think this through!"

Hearing this, the expression on Teng Jun’s face stiffened for a moment, as if her remaining sanity was waging a brief battle.

But she quickly returned to her alluring expression and said shyly, "Elder Zou, just get up here already!"

The next moment, Zou Feng actually took off his shoes and leaped onto the bed, looking down at Teng Jun.

Teng Jun still had no intention of getting up. Her legs swayed back and forth before Zou Feng’s eyes as she said, "Go on, what did you want to discuss?"

Zou Feng stared at her without blinking. "Teng Cave Master, you’ve been poisoned!"

Teng Jun froze, then said dismissively, "Elder Zou, you’re a Poison Cultivator too. You should know that for those of us who practice Poison Skills, getting poisoned is a perfectly normal occurrence."

"But the poison you’ve contracted this time is no ordinary one. It has already begun to affect your mind. Have you really not noticed, Teng Cave Master?"

Zou Feng continued, "Let me try to expel the poison for you, Cave Master..."

"There’s no need!" Teng Jun’s face showed her displeasure as she flatly refused. "I intend to use this poison for my Cultivation. If you expel it, wouldn’t all my preparations be for nothing?"

Zou Feng shook his head slightly. "You’re too hasty. If my judgment is correct, this poison is not something a Gang Qi Realm Martial Artist can perform Refinement on."

"What do you know!" Teng Jun lost her patience. "If you only sought an audience for this matter, Elder Zou, then please leave!"

After a moment of silence, Zou Feng suddenly changed the subject. "Did some special poisonous creature appear in the forbidden area of Silk Cave?"

At this, Teng Jun’s expression changed dramatically.

"It’s mine!!"

With a sharp roar, the already mentally unstable Teng Jun completely turned on him. Her jade-like foot, as if boneless, whipped toward Zou Feng’s cheek.

Having long anticipated she might attack with her feet, Zou Feng immediately raised a hand and calmly blocked it.

All of Teng Jun’s subsequent attacks were launched with her legs.

She had clearly cultivated an extremely formidable Leg Skill. After suspending herself in mid-air with Gang Qi Threads, her legs constantly lashed at Zou Feng like whips from all sorts of unbelievable angles.

At the same time, her legs emitted a dense, poisonous gas, supplementing her attacks with poison.

Of course, it was a good thing this poisonous gas was colorless and odorless, or one might mistake her for having a severe case of foot odor.

But no matter how sharp Teng Jun’s Leg Skill was, Zou Feng’s hands were like an impassable wall, impossible to breach.

He blocked her leg attacks with various techniques. An uninformed observer might think they were engaged in some kind of elaborate game, artfully playing with her exquisite feet as if they were a delicacy.

It was obvious that although Zou Feng would have had to make a strategic retreat if they had fought when they first met, his strength had now reached the point where he could easily handle the new Cave Master of Silk Cave.

This was especially true for her Poison Skill, which had been her greatest strength but was something Zou Feng had long since studied thoroughly.

Back when Teng Jun was trying to advance to the Fourth Grade, she had asked Zou Feng to act as her Guardian and be ready to suppress the Blood Begonia poison at any moment.

Even back then, while helping her, Zou Feng had already gotten a complete grasp of all her poisons.

So, while it looked like Teng Jun was unleashing all sorts of potent venoms, their actual effect was even less useful than simple foot odor would have been.

At least that would have distracted Zou Feng with an unbearable smell.

"Zou Feng, are you trying to rebel?"

Seeing that her prolonged assault couldn’t take down Zou Feng, Teng Jun grew flustered and tried to use her status as Cave Master to intimidate him.

But that was completely useless against Zou Feng.

Seeing her reveal an opening while speaking, he showed no more courtesy. He stepped forward, clamped her legs with his arm to stop her from struggling, and pinned her down on the bed.

"Wh-what are you doing!?"

Pinned down like this and seeing Zou Feng’s roguishly handsome face up close, Teng Jun, whose mind had been clouded, actually regained some of her senses. Her eyes were filled with panic.

Gone was the provocative expression from just moments before.

’Just as I thought!’

’She acts frivolous and flaunts her allure, but the real reason she doesn’t practice the Replenishing Skill is that she’s afraid of getting screwed...’

But Zou Feng had no such intentions. He had been cultivating the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with Tian Yun almost daily recently and was more than satisfied.

"What am I doing?" Zou Feng cackled sinisterly. "I’m giving you a physical examination, of course!"

With that, he reached out with his Wandering Dragon Hand.

At this, Teng Jun sobered up completely, screaming in terror, "Don’t you come near me, AHHH..."

"Cave Master, what’s wrong? Cave Master?"

The maid outside knocked frantically, on the verge of breaking down the door.

Zou Feng’s cold snort came from within. "The Cave Master and I are busy. Are you sure you want to meddle?"

Hearing this, the remarkably strong maid, who had been about to push the door open, slowly retracted her hand.

’The Cave Master has been acting abnormally recently,’ she thought. ’What if she’s just playing a game with Elder Zou right now?’

After a flurry of activity, Teng Jun’s stomach churned violently, and it looked like she was about to vomit something.

Zou Feng released her at the right moment, freeing her from his hold.

Teng Jun quickly rolled off the bed and immediately vomited a mouthful of black, viscous blood.

After hitting the floor, the blood immediately became incredibly thick and even started to form viscous threads on its own.

Teng Jun stared blankly at the pool of blood, speechless for a long time.

After a moment, Zou Feng walked up behind her and patted her on the shoulder. "You shouldn’t have tried to perform Refinement on this poison."

"This poison... it must be the Spider Gu King Poison, right?"

He came to this conclusion, naturally, because he had already performed Refinement on the Scorpion Gu King Poison and thus had a certain understanding of this type of toxin.

Although the poison afflicting Teng Jun was quite different from the Scorpion Gu King Poison, some of its characteristics were similar.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Teng Jun, who had regained her senses, shook her head blankly. "Spider Gu King Poison? I... I don’t know..."

"Then where did you get this poison, Cave Master?"

Teng Jun made a pained expression. "A short while ago, deep in the forbidden area of Silk Cave, I discovered a White Jade Spider, the likes of which I had never seen before."

"I took a liking to the little thing as soon as I saw it, so I immediately got close to it."

"But unexpectedly, before I knew it, I had fallen into its trap!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Elder Zou, if you hadn’t returned in time, I’m afraid I would have..."
