78: Chapter 78 Master, this servant is completely convinced and willing to submit…

However, tonight, Lin Yuxi was completely different from usual.

She had shed the coarse mourning clothes that symbolized her grief for her late husband and changed into a form-fitting, moon-white, semi-transparent dance dress.

The thin silk tightly wrapped around her proud, graceful curves, making her beauty appear tantalizingly elusive under the flickering candlelight.

The skirt had a high slit, and as she walked, her long, straight, jade-like legs were dizzyingly visible.

Even though he was accustomed to the ways of the world, Qin Feng's gaze could not help but narrow slightly.

"Captain..." Lin Yuxi walked to the table and set down the wine and food.

Her cheeks were so red they seemed ready to drip blood, and her voice was as soft as a breeze, revealing a submissiveness that had completely cast aside all defenses and dignity.

"What kind of act are you putting on?" Qin Feng leaned back, watching her with great interest.

Lin Yuxi did not answer. Instead, she slowly picked up the wine pot, poured a cup, then held the cup with both hands, knelt on one knee beside his feet, and raised it high.

"This cup is for you, Captain. Thank you... for avenging Captain Luo Kun's deep blood feud, and for washing away the humiliation of our Ninth Squad."

Lin Yuxi looked up. In her watery, beautiful eyes, there was no longer any of the former resistance, resentment, or humiliation.

Replacing them was a gratitude from the depths of her Soul, as well as total submission when facing an absolute powerhouse!

The moment she witnessed Qin Feng kill Zhang Zhongjiu with a single thrown blade today, her internal defenses had already collapsed.

This man was overbearing, cold, and unscrupulous, yet he kept his word and truly accomplished things she dared not even dream of.

Qin Feng took the wine cup, drank it in one gulp, and asked: "The wine is finished. What else?"

Lin Yuxi stood up, stepped back three paces, and went to the slightly more spacious center of the room.

"Yuxi has no way to repay you, only my humble self... I am willing to offer a dance for you, Captain."

As she finished speaking, she slightly raised her snow-white jade arms.

Without the accompaniment of musical instruments, only the wailing wind outside the window, Lin Yuxi danced gracefully amidst the flickering candlelight.

Her dance revealed a dignity and coldness etched into her bones, but it was precisely this coldness that, set off by the dance dress, was torn open to reveal a fatal allure.

Her waist twisted like a water snake, and the hem of her skirt bloomed in mid-air with a charming arc.

Every look, every movement, conveyed a clear signal—from now on, her Soul and everything she was would belong completely to the man before her.

Qin Feng sat on the grand armchair, quietly appreciating the beautiful dance, while the Qi and blood from his Chaos Art began to subtly boil without him realizing it.

Just as the atmosphere was about to reach its peak, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly exploded in Qin Feng's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the target character 'Lin Yuxi' has undergone a complete change in mentality!]

[Lin Yuxi's submission level is at maximum!]

[Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward: one Gift Pack. Do you want to open it immediately?]

The corners of Qin Feng's mouth slowly curled into a wildly arrogant arc.

'Open.' He thought to himself.

[Ding! Gift Pack opened successfully!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: one 'Mortal Breakthrough Pill'!]

[Item Description: This pill contains extremely pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. After a Martial Artist in the Mortal Realm consumes it, it can directly increase the Breakthrough probability by ten levels! No side effects!]

Hearing the System's prompt, Qin Feng's breathing instantly became heavier.

A ten-level Breakthrough probability meant that as long as he took the Medicinal Pill, he could break through the current Realm bottleneck with 100% certainty and step directly into Mortal Stage 9!

In the crisis-ridden Management Hall, strength was the foundation for suppressing everything.

"Stop." Qin Feng suddenly spoke, interrupting the dance.

Lin Yuxi's delicate body trembled. She stopped her movements and looked at him somewhat uneasily, thinking she had done something wrong: "Captain... did this servant not dance well?"

"No." Qin Feng slowly stood up and walked to her step by step.

He extended two long fingers and gently lifted her smooth chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

"Sister-in-law, now... you are completely convinced, right?"

Looking into the man's deep, abyss-like black eyes and feeling the burning temperature on her chin, Lin Yuxi's heart skipped a beat.

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes seemed as if they were about to drip water, and she nodded forcefully.

"Mm..."

The soft reply was extremely gentle, as thin as a gossamer thread, yet it revealed an unprecedented firmness: "This servant... is completely convinced..."

"Very good." Qin Feng laughed, wrapped his arm around her slender waist that could be spanned by a hand, swept her up into his arms, and strode toward the inner chamber.

...Two hours later.

The candles in the inner chamber had been extinguished.

Like a well-behaved kitten, Lin Yuxi curled up in the bed, exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep.

However, Qin Feng had already dressed and sat cross-legged on the cushion in the outer room.

"It is time." He flipped his wrist, and a round, golden Medicinal Pill emitting a rich, exotic fragrance appeared in his palm.

It was the 'Mortal Breakthrough Pill'. Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng threw the Medicinal Pill into his mouth and swallowed it with a gulp.

"Boom!!!" The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, it was like a bomb detonating in his Dantian!

A vast, extremely pure stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, like a flood breaking a dam, rushed wildly through his limbs and bones.

"Refine for me!" Qin Feng's eyes were blood-red. He let out a low roar in his heart, and the Chaos Art operated frantically.

The phantom of the Heavenly Tyrant Body faintly appeared behind him, its aura suppressing the ages, forcibly suppressing the rampaging Spiritual Qi within his body, turning it into the purest true essence, and frantically slamming against the final barrier of Mortal Stage 8!

"Crack!" In just half an incense stick of time, a crisp cracking sound came from within his body.

Violent Qi and blood burst out from his body, blowing the tables and chairs in the room into disarray!

"Boom!" Mortal Stage 9!

Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and a purple-gold electric light flashed across the depths of his eyes.

He clenched his fist casually, feeling the terrifying power within his body that was several times stronger than before, and a satisfied, cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Stage 9... Now, even if I encounter those half-step transcendent experts, I absolutely have the power to fight them!"

...The next day, early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and sprinkled onto the Servant District, Qin Feng was in the courtyard consolidating the Realm he had just broken through.

"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded, followed immediately by Chen Pingan's anxious voice: "Captain, Captain, are you up?"

Hearing the call, Qin Feng frowned slightly, pushed open the door, and walked out.

He saw Chen Pingan standing in the courtyard, drenched in sweat, accompanied by a messenger wearing the direct uniform of the Management Hall with an arrogant expression.

"What is going on?" Qin Feng asked coldly.

The messenger guard looked Qin Feng up and down, relying on the fact that he was a special envoy from the Management Hall, and acted with his nose in the air.

"You must be the new captain of the Ninth Squad, Qin Feng, right?"

The messenger took out a red-headed document stamped with the seal of the Management Hall from his bosom and read aloud:

"By the order of Steward Wang Taian, the new captain of the Ninth Squad, Qin Feng, has outstanding strength, and is hereby assigned a direct mission!"

"Thirty miles deep into the Luanzang Mountain Range, a batch of rare 'blood bodhi' has been discovered. Qin Feng is ordered to immediately lead the elites of the Ninth Squad to the Luanzang Mountain Range to harvest them!"

"The deadline is three days, no delays allowed!"
