117: A honey trap?

Especially when facing a queen like Bai Luoli, who had extremely high self-esteem and cared immensely about her Face.

What he had to do was not expose her, but give her a way out.

A perfect, seamless way out that even she couldn't find a flaw in.

"Oh, is that so?"

A trace of "realization" and "apology" appeared on Qin Feng's Face at just the right moment.

"Then perhaps this Disciple remembered incorrectly."

He respectfully held up the half-piece of the Phoenix Head token with both hands.

"Sect Master, your token."

His attitude was humble and respectful.

It was as if the arrogant fellow who had dared to test the Sect Master with words just now wasn't him at all.

Bai Luoli looked at him, and within those deep, bottomless phoenix eyes, a complex and inscrutable light flickered.

This kid... was he giving her a way out?

She, the grand Sect Master of Tianxuan Sect, a Tribulation Stage Great Power.

Actually needed a Nascent Soul Stage junior to find a way out for her?

If word of this got out, it would be the biggest joke in the world!

But as it happened, right now, she really did need this way out.

Bai Luoli felt a burst of aggrieved frustration in her heart.

Yet on her Face, she still maintained that calm and indifferent expression.

She reached out and took the half-piece of the token from Qin Feng's hand.

At the moment of the hand-off, their fingertips inadvertently brushed against each other.

Qin Feng only felt a cold and smooth sensation from his fingertips, causing his heart to flutter.

And Bai Luoli's body also stiffened slightly.

She could clearly feel a scorching heat emanating from Qin Feng's fingertips, one that felt incredibly familiar to her, filled with masculinity and dominance.

This aura... She abruptly withdrew her hand, clutching the half-piece of the token tightly in her palm.

It was as if she were afraid it might fly away again.

"Have you chosen your items?"

She turned around, her back to Qin Feng, her voice still cold but carrying a hint of imperceptible panic.

"Replying to Sect Master, I have chosen."

Qin Feng bowed as he answered.

"Since you have chosen, you may withdraw."

"Yes."

Qin Feng bowed once more, then slowly retreated from the Sect Treasury that had made him feel incredibly oppressed.

Not until his figure had completely disappeared...

...did Bai Luoli slowly turn around.

She looked at the empty treasury, then lowered her head to look at the slightly warm phoenix token in her palm.

On that beautiful Face, which was always filled with coldness and majesty, an expression called "bewilderment" appeared for the first time.

"Bai Luoluo..."

Her red lips parted slightly as she unconsciously uttered this name that even she had almost forgotten... Qin Feng walked out of the Sect Treasury, and feeling the fresh air outside, he felt as if he had just returned from Death's door.

That was truly too dangerous just now!

If he had taken even a single wrong step.

If Bai Luoli's heart had been just a bit more ruthless.

He would probably be a cold corpse by now.

"Whew..."

Qin Feng let out a long breath of turbid Qi.

Although Bai Luoli had let him go for now.

Qin Feng knew very well.

This definitely didn't mean he was safe.

On the contrary.

He was now in more danger than ever before!

Currently, he was like a little white mouse being stared at by a tigress.

"No! I can't go on like this!"

"Cultivation!"

"I need even stronger cultivation!"

A raging fire ignited in Qin Feng's eyes!

Nascent Soul Eighth Layer!

It wasn't enough!

Far from enough!

In front of a Tribulation Stage Great Power, the Nascent Soul Stage was still nothing but an ant!

He had to Breakthrough to Soul Transformation as soon as possible!

Or even Mahayana! Undergoing Tribulation!

Only then would he truly have the right to speak with Bai Luoli on equal terms!

But how could he quickly increase his cultivation?

He had already been to the Sword Tomb.

He had mostly absorbed all the Sword Intent inside.

Going back in the short term would be meaningless.

What remained was only... In Qin Feng's mind, three beautiful Faces, each stunning in their own way, surfaced uncontrollably.

His Xueer Wife, Zhao Muxue.

His Yaoer Baby, Lin Yao.

His Nianxin Little Sweetheart, Ye Nianxin.

And... Qin Feng's gaze became somewhat strange.

He thought of his Second Senior Sister, Li Xiaoxiao, who always wanted to slice him up for research.

And his Eldest Senior Sister, Bai Miaoling, whom he had just pulled back from Death's door.

"Sigh..."

Qin Feng let out another long sigh.

It seemed that his path of "self-reliance" still had a long way to go.

Just as he was feeling deeply moved and preparing to return to Qingxin Peak to begin his "painful yet joyful" plan to increase his cultivation.

Buzz—

A golden communication jade slip, representing the Sect Master's personal order, once again pierced through the Void Realm without warning and floated before him.

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat!

Again?!

What on earth does this woman want?!

With trembling hands, he extended his Divine Sense into that golden light.

There was only one line of text inside the Jade Slip.

[Come to my Bedchamber.]

[Now.]

Bedchamber?

Now?

Looking at those four brief and domineering words on the Jade Slip, Qin Feng felt his scalp tingle.

What does this woman want to do?

One moment, she was in the treasury, looking at him with eyes that wanted to kill.

Now, she was actually having him go to her Bedchamber?

This change in style was way too fast, wasn't it?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Qin Feng's mind.

A Hongmen Banquet?

No.

If she wanted to kill him, the treasury was the best opportunity; it was filled with Restrictions and isolated from the world. Even if he screamed his lungs out, no one outside would hear.

There was no need to go through the extra trouble of calling him to her Bedchamber.

Then... she wants to continue testing him?

Qin Feng felt this was highly likely.

That secret about "Bai Luoluo" was like a thorn buried deep in her heart.

She could never let him go that easily.

Calling him to her Bedchamber, a place that was more private and where one was more likely to let their guard down.

It was very possible she wanted to use some even more subtle means to pry his mouth open.

For example... a handsome man trap?

Bah!

A Honey Trap!

Uncontrollably, the beautiful Face of Bai Luoli, which could mesmerize all living beings and was filled with a queen-like dominance, surfaced in Qin Feng's mind.

As well as that mature, charming body, faintly visible beneath the Black-gold Phoenix Robe, filled with an astonishing allure.

Hiss—

Qin Feng couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

If she really used a Honey Trap on him... could he hold out?

Qin Feng asked himself.

The answer was... doubtful.

Very doubtful.

After all, even his Revered Master, an icy queen like Zhao Muxue, had eventually... not to mention Bai Luoli, a queen among queens with a higher level, stronger aura, and more domineering personality.
