Chapter 554: Hundred Flowers Palace!
Jiang Feng glanced at the woman, and his mind instantly wavered.
In that instant, he felt the whole world had changed.
He saw only the woman before him.
Her veil had been removed at some point, revealing an exquisite face.
Her features were delicate as if stepped out of a painting, her skin fair to the point of near transparency, her lips slightly red like peach blossoms in March.
Her eyes were bright, like a pool of spring water, shimmering, making one unable to resist sinking into them.
She was smiling.
That smile was faint, yet beautiful, beautiful enough to make one's heart intoxicated.
Jiang Feng looked at her, and suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken. An indescribable emotion welled up in his chest, warm and soft, like spring sunlight on his body.
He felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere before.
No, not seen before.
It was familiarity.
He looked at the woman again, as if he saw Su Xueyan smiling at him.
That smile, that gaze, that demeanor were extremely like Su Xueyan.
Jiang Feng's heart gave a violent jolt, his whole body felt as if struck by something, stiffening there, unable to move.
His hand unconsciously reached out, wanting to touch that face.
Just as he was about to lose control, suddenly inspiration struck.
The jade tablet on his chest trembled slightly.
A cool breath flowed from the jade tablet, along his chest into his body, rushing straight to his mind.
That breath was cold, like icy water in winter, poured over his heated head.
Jiang Feng's mind instantly cleared.
He hastily withdrew his hand, his eyes instantly becoming utterly clear; looking again at the woman, his gaze was full of vigilance.
His back was soaked through, cold sweat trickling down his spine.
This woman, so terrifying.
What she just used was not an ordinary charm technique, but an extremely profound art that could directly affect one's mind.
Jiang Feng considered his will firm, having endured countless life-and-death trials, his mind as solid as rock. Yet before this woman, he almost lost his guard.
If he had really reached out just then, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, this woman's charm art is terrifying!
Countless cultivation sects exist under heaven, each with its own inheritance, each with its own path.
Some prove the Dao with strength, some repel enemies with qi, some enter the Dao with the sword, and there is one that enters the Dao through charm!
The sects that enter the Dao through charm, the most famous is the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Legend says the Hundred Flowers Palace lies deep in Baihua Zhou of Yunmeng Ze, shrouded year-round in mist and clouds, outsiders cannot enter its gates.
Inside the palace are all women, taking names from flowers, practicing the charm way, forming their own lineage.
Jianghu rumors say a Hundred Flowers Palace disciple can kill with a frown or a smile. Their arts do not emphasize strength or speed, but the mind; a single glance or smile can make one lose mental control, leaving them at her mercy.
The Hundred Flowers Palace is also a top sect that has secluded itself for many years, rarely appearing in the jianghu.
Their disciples hardly ever leave Baihua Zhou, and the outside world knows little about them.
Logically, the Hundred Flowers Palace would not suddenly dispatch such a master into the world.
Moreover, this woman at first glance looks like she's come to cause trouble.
Jiang Feng's heart was full of caution, but his expression remained unchanged.
He feigned calm as he looked at the woman, speaking lightly.
"I don't know what discomfort this young lady has?"
His voice was very plain, exactly the same as when he usually sees patients, with nothing unusual.
But his hand had quietly been placed under the table, true qi gathering in his palm.
The woman's eyes flickered slightly.
Sensing Jiang Feng's indifference, Mu Hongyao instantly felt something was off.
Her Hundred Flowers Heavenly Charm Record is the Hundred Flowers Palace's supreme charm art; when cultivated to a profound level, it can affect another's mind without a sound, causing them to fall into an illusion unknowingly.
With her strength as a Hundred Flowers Palace Lotus Envoy, no man below the Martial Ancestor realm could possibly resist her Hundred Flowers Heavenly Charm Record.
But the young man before her, clearly only at the half-step Martial Ancestor cultivation, after barely escaping being affected, managed to wake up fully.
This is not normal.
It seems this Jiang Feng is even more terrifying than imagined.
Mu Hongyao's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
However, she simply likes challenging things.
The harder a man is to conquer, the greater the sense of accomplishment in conquering him.
Mu Hongyao raised her hand, replaced the veil, leaving only her eyes exposed.
But the light in those eyes was brighter and more alluring than before.
She released her charm art, every word and deed brimming with myriad allure.
She slowly extended her slender, fair hand; the hand was white and delicate, fingers long, nails neatly trimmed, coated with a light rouge.
On her wrist she wore a green jade bracelet, which made her skin appear even fairer.
Her movements were slow and gentle, like a dance.
That hand traced a graceful arc in the air, gradually touching Jiang Feng's hand resting on the table.
Her Fingers touched the back of Jiang Feng's hand, slightly cool, as smooth as Jade Stone.
Jiang Feng's body stiffened slightly, but he did not dodge.
Mu Hongyao's voice was soft as cotton candy, tinged with a bit of coquettishness and a bit of spoiledness, matching her clear soft tone, making people's bones go soft.
"Mr. Jiang, I feel that this chest pain has been severe lately."
She said, placing her other hand lightly on her own chest, gently rubbing it.
"Go ahead and feel, is it……"
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already obvious.
Her eyes looked at Jiang Feng, her gaze rippling like a pool of spring water, threatening to drown someone Inside.
Her lips slightly pouted, carrying a hint of grievance and a hint of anticipation.
Any normal man, seeing this scene, couldn't help but want to comfort her, protect her, and satisfy her demands.
But just then, Jiang Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The confusion, intoxication, and dazed look in his eyes vanished completely!
In their place came an icy clarity.
He backhanded a grab, his speed astonishing.
Mu Hongyao's smile froze on her face.
The next moment, Jiang Feng's hand had already clamped onto Mu Hongyao's smooth, delicate neck.
His fingers hooked onto her throat.
Mu Hongyao's body stiffened, she dared not move.
She could feel that a powerful true qi clung to Jiang Feng's fingers, that true qi seemed ready to burst forth at any moment, utterly destroying her.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Feng, shock filling her gaze.
"You…… you……"
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat was choked, and she could not make a sound.
Jiang Feng looked at her, his expression calm, and said lightly.
"I don't know who you are, nor where you come from."
He paused, his voice turning even colder.
"But if you again use such despicable tactics, I don't mind letting you stay Here forever."
Mu Hongyao's face paled somewhat.
She could feel that Jiang Feng was not joking.
He was serious.
If she dares to use her seductive arts again, he will really kill her.
Mu Hongyao's gaze flickered for a moment, then she slowly restrained her aura.
That alluring seductive demeanor vanished, replaced by a cool and aloof temperament.
She looked at Jiang Feng, her gaze turning serious.
"Divine Doctor Jiang is indeed formidable."
