Chapter 953: Chapter 950: Bedchamber Attendance

The feast lasted until evening, and most of the guests were drunk.

As the night grew deep and tranquil, a round moon hung on the treetops, as large as a disk.

Guests at the Tianlin Mansion had all left, leaving the large mansion in complete silence, a stark contrast to the previous bustling scene.

In a chamber deep within the mansion, Luo Feng, illuminated by a Luminous Pearl, was perusing a secret manual on saber techniques left by Elder Huang.

Although this manual’s insights on saber cultivation could not elevate his realm, as theoretical knowledge summarized by Elder Huang over a lifetime, it had an undeniable effect on enhancing his saber cultivation.

The Divine Dragon Nine Changes could speed up his cultivation, whereas this manual could compensate for his foundational deficiencies, allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort in his saber practice and more easily break through saber restrictions. Both were crucial and indispensable.

Whenever he had time, Luo Feng would take out the manual and study it thoroughly.

Just as he was engrossed, a soft sound of footsteps began to echo.

Luo Feng put down the manual, and a knock on the door followed shortly.

"Come in."

Creak!

The door opened, and two petite figures stepped in under the moonlight; it was Xiao Yue and Xiao Sang.

Both girls had changed into clean clothes, their faces flush with redness, and their hair still adorned with droplets of water, suggesting they had just freshened up. Under the moonlight, their hair shone brightly, resembling two elves.

"Young Master, what do you need us for?"

Entering the chamber, Xiao Yue positioned herself in front of Xiao Sang, slightly lowering her head and twisting her fingers in the corner of her clothes. Her bright round eyes faintly revealed a trace of nervousness.

Xiao Sang remained silent, hiding behind Xiao Yue.

The sisters had been sold to Dayang Mansion when they were very young and had heard plenty of rumors since becoming conscious.

The young masters of noble families would often take their maids to bed.

When Yang Wanyi gifted them to Luo Feng as personal maids, it indicated they now belonged to Luo Feng, and everything about them was his. They had anticipated this moment would come, but not so soon.

After the banquet ended, Luo Feng had asked them to come to his chamber at night. Despite being a bit scared, they didn’t dare to defy him and took the time to wash and dress carefully.

Luo Feng glanced at them and smiled, "Xiao Yue, come here."

Xiao Yue’s young shoulders trembled slightly as Xiao Sang clutched her hand tightly, whispering, "Sister, I’m... I’m scared..."

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you."

Xiao Yue patted Xiao Sang’s hand, though her voice quivered slightly. She bit her red lips and walked to Luo Feng’s side, "M-master..."

"Why are you so nervous? I’m not going to eat you."

Luo Feng chuckled, guessing that the two might be a bit uneasy being new to his service, and didn’t mind, saying, "Xiao Yue, try hitting me with a palm strike."

"Ah!"

Xiao Yue was taken aback, looking up in surprise.

"Use your full strength," Luo Feng added.

Xiao Yue then came to her senses, though puzzled, she didn’t dare to question.

"Young Master, be careful then."

She cautioned him, then concentrated her energy with a shout.

"Butterfly Fluttering!"

Her slender hand moved gracefully, striking Luo Feng’s chest with a muffled thud.

Luo Feng remained unmoved, however, Xiao Yue was shaken back several steps. In her small heart, she felt even more admiration for Luo Feng. She knew that her full-force palm strike was enough to shatter a two-meter-high boulder, yet Luo Feng didn’t even budge.

"The palm strength is both hard and soft, but the two forces can’t merge into one to reach the point of perfect balance..."

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yue with a smile, "Xiao Yue, your strength and martial arts realm are above Xiao Sang’s. Do you know why you lost?"

Initially, feeling a bit tense, Xiao Yue frowned and shook her head upon hearing this, "I don’t know..."

"Because you are not suitable for cultivating the Ten Thousand Butterfly Palm."

Luo Feng explained, "The Ten Thousand Butterfly Palm emphasizes agility and variation, like butterflies playing among flowers, passing through a sea of blooms without a single leaf touching. But your moves are large and open, completely opposite to the intent realm of the Ten Thousand Butterfly Palm, so you can’t execute it freely. The higher the realm, the greater the impact."

"Ah! So that’s it, no wonder I’ve been losing to Xiao Sang recently, I thought my skills were deteriorating!"

Enlightened, Xiao Yue’s eyes sparkled.

Luo Feng smiled, handing a secret manual to Xiao Yue: "In the future, practice this style of fist technique."

"Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, Profound Level Medium Grade!" Xiao Yue took a deep breath as she looked at the manual in her hand.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sang couldn’t help but lift her head, glancing at the red manual in Xiao Yue’s hand, her gaze bright like stars.

The Ten Thousand Butterfly Palm was merely a Yellow Level Medium Grade martial art, compared to the Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist, it was like heaven and earth. From what she knew, many of the guards in the mansion didn’t practice martial arts of such high grade.

"Young Master... is this manual for me?" Xiao Yue asked, somewhat dazed.

Luo Feng nodded, "You two have reached the fifth level of the Meridian Wheel Realm, and the Ten Thousand Butterfly Palm is no longer suitable for cultivation. This Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist was the fist technique I practiced before; it suits your style perfectly."

"Thank you, Young Master, for your generosity. Xiao Yue will not disappoint your great expectations." Xiao Yue’s eyes lit up with joy, holding the manual tightly to her chest.

Luo Feng’s victory over Qian Shaofeng at the Business Alliance Conference established the Dayang Commerce Alliance as the number one alliance, and all young practitioners in the base viewed him as an idol, Xiao Yue and Xiao Sang included. Never did she expect to receive martial arts once practiced by Luo Feng.

Glancing at Xiao Sang, Xiao Yue looked up and said:

"Young Master, may I practice this fist technique together with Xiao Sang?"

"She is not suitable for cultivating Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist." Luo Feng shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sang’s eyes dimmed.

At this moment, Luo Feng’s voice sounded again.

"Xiao Sang, would you like to train in swordsmanship?"

"Swordsmanship?"

Xiao Sang was startled, lightly biting her lip, without speaking.

Xiao Yue covered her mouth, whispered beside Luo Feng’s ear with a smile: "Young master, Xiao Sang has been secretly watching the guards practicing swordsmanship."

"I see."

Luo Feng smiled faintly, recalling how Xiao Sang possessed a light and nimble palm technique when sparring with Xiao Yue, with an underlying sharpness that reminded him of the Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin. The two seemed to have something in common, which prompted his question.

Upon having her secret exposed, Xiao Sang’s face turned bright red with unease:

"I... I just took a peek while resting for a little bit..."

Luo Feng chuckled inwardly. Without knowing, it was hard to imagine that these two were actually sisters.

"I didn’t mean to scold you. Working hard in training is a good thing. As my maid, you must not lack in strength."

Luo Feng patted Xiao Sang’s little head, handing her a fine iron longsword and a secret manual:

"From now on, train with this Azure Water Swordsmanship. Start with a wooden sword, and use a real sword once you reach the Small Success stage."

Hearing this, Xiao Sang, looking at the treasured sword and manual in her hands, simply nodded blankly.

She thought Luo Feng would scold her, but contrary to expectations, she received the much-desired sword and swordsmanship manual, leaving her pleasantly surprised and at a loss for words.

"Xiao Sang, you’re so silly, hurry up and thank the young master," Xiao Yue urged.

Xiao Sang came to her senses, hurriedly bowing to Luo Feng: "Thank you for the gift, young master."

"No need to be so formal."

Luo Feng waved his hand, "I will leave Big Market City tomorrow morning. Before I go, I will leave some Yuan Stones and pills with Elder Qian. If you encounter a bottleneck or have problems in your cultivation, you can go find Elder Qian. This Tianlin Mansion is entrusted to you both."

"Don’t worry, young master."

Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows and said, "If anyone dares to cause trouble here, Xiao Sang and I will teach them a tough lesson!"

"Mm." Xiao Sang also nodded vigorously.

Looking at the two, Luo Feng smiled faintly and said, "Alright, it’s late. You should rest early."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue hesitated for a moment, lowered her eyes and stepped forward:

"Young master, let Xiao Yue help you change your clothes." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"No need, my clothes are clean, and I still need to cultivate later. You two should go rest."

Luo Feng stopped Xiao Yue. He felt a bit uncomfortable being served like that.

Xiao Yue lifted her head, her bright eyes showing a hint of doubt: "Young master, did you call us just to teach martial arts?"

"Yes, what else did you think?"

Luo Feng tapped Xiao Yue’s forehead and laughed: "Don’t be lazy. When I come to Big Market City next time, I will personally test your cultivation."

"Ugh..."

Xiao Yue blushed deeply, pulling Xiao Sang to the door. Suddenly, she turned back, a joyful smile appearing on her face:

"Thank you, young master. Next time you come to Big Market City, we will surprise you greatly."

Xiao Sang tightly pressed her red lips, suddenly said: "Xiao Sang likes young master..."

After speaking, the two ran off in a flash.

Watching the light and cheerful figures of the two girls, Luo Feng smiled faintly.

After witnessing the Five Element Guests duel with Qi Zhenshan, he had developed some interest in the united momentum of the Five Element Guests.

When the three confronted Qi Zhenshan, their Jing Qi Shen seemed to merge with nature, greatly enhancing their martial arts power, giving Luo Feng a sense of Grand Momentum, a profound mystery he couldn’t fully comprehend.

This time, teaching Xiao Sang and Xiao Yue martial arts was partly to improve their abilities so they wouldn’t be bullied, and partly to experiment on them.

Eight Wildernesses Dominating Flame Fist and Azure Water Swordsmanship—one firm, one gentle—bear an uncanny resemblance to the Five Element Guests’ Five Elements transformation.

If they achieve some success in the future, it might be beneficial for his own cultivation.

Of course, if not, it’s no big deal. It was just a momentary interest.

Without thinking much, he sat cross-legged and began his daily Yuan Qi cultivation.

This Tianlin Mansion, located above a Yuan Spirit Vein, is indeed a blessed place, rich in Yuan Qi.

As Luo Feng initiated the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, he felt pure Yuan Qi continuously flooding in from all directions, making cultivation a lot easier than usual.

As Yuan Qi completed one Grand Circulation after another, a sense of fullness gradually emerged within Luo Feng.

What he needed to do was make this feeling more vivid. When it reaches the limit, it will be time to break through to the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. As long as his cultivation steps into the eighth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, both the quality and quantity of Yuan Qi will greatly leap forward!

Time slipped away slowly, and finally, the first light of dawn appeared in the eastern sky.

Luo Feng opened his eyes. It was time to return to the Golden Palace.
