Chapter 171: Taking Down Zhu Zhuqing

"Every time you see me, why is your face so red?" Ye Feng stepped forward, a teasing smile on his lips, and teased her.

His gaze, however, scanned Zhu Zhuqing without restraint, looking without hesitation.

Because it was a private training room, Zhu Zhuqing wore only a tight-fitting bodysuit on her upper body, exposing most of her sweat-dampened abdomen, and above that was an exaggerated curve...

Her lower body was clad only in tight athletic shorts, outlining a perfect figure, and below were round, plump, snow-white long legs.

The proportions were nearly perfect; one look was enough to make one's head spin.

"No... no... I just finished training..." Zhu Zhuqing quickly looked away, arguing softly in a voice like a mosquito, naturally failing to notice Ye Feng's gaze.

Of course, even if she saw it, she wouldn't care; after all, she dressed so little precisely to let Ye Feng look more...

"Hmm, you've been training too crazily lately. You're already strong enough; you don't need to work so hard." Ye Feng walked over, gently wiped the sweat from Zhu Zhuqing's face, and comforted her softly.

His movements were gentle and tender, his eyes carrying a hint of concern.

Recently, Ye Feng had discovered that Zhu Zhuqing's training had reached a crazy level.

She trained for over 20 hours every day, and at night she used cultivation instead of sleep.

This TMD is too much; which Spirit Master does this...

This made Ye Feng feel guilty every time he ate, drank, and had fun.

This unhealthy internal competition must be resisted!

Zhu Zhuqing naturally didn't know what Ye Feng was thinking; instead, because of Ye Feng's concern, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

But she still shook her head gently and said: "It's nothing, I just want to become a bit stronger..."

Her voice carried a hint of determination, and a flash of stubbornness crossed her eyes.

The competition within her clan was her own business; she didn't want this matter to involve Ye Feng.

Ye Feng had already given her so much help; she was already very grateful.

"Is it because you learned of Zhu Zhuyun's strength from the competition within your clan, and thus felt pressure?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing like this, Ye Feng no longer pretended not to know and spoke up on his own initiative.

His voice carried a hint of seriousness, but his eyes held a hint of tenderness.

"Ah... how do you know?"

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly, her gaze darting about; obviously she hadn't expected Ye Feng to actually know these things.

After all, she had never told anyone about her affairs, whether at Shrek or upon arriving at Xingchen Sect.

Moreover, although this matter wasn't top secret, only the Zhu Family and the Dai Family knew some of it, yet Ye Feng knew it so clearly.

"Of course, every disciple who joins Xingchen Sect must undergo identity verification." Ye Feng chuckled lightly.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Zhu Zhuqing quickly lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, her tone filled with fear, afraid Ye Feng would kick her out of Xingchen Sect because of this.

"Hmm, you deliberately hid it from me, making me very unhappy, so I'm going to 'punish' you." Ye Feng's tone was serious, sounding as if he were truly angry.

"Okay... any punishment is fine, but please don't kick me out of Xingchen Sect... I promise there won't be a next time..."

It was the first time Zhu Zhuqing had seen Ye Feng with such an expression; she immediately shrank her neck, inexplicably afraid, truly like a child who had made a mistake.

"Alright, that's what you said~"

Ye Feng changed the subject, then gently hooked Zhu Zhuqing's chin, lifting her head to look at him.

"Mm... any punishment is fine..." Zhu Zhuqing bit her silver teeth, obviously preparing herself for the "punishment."

However, the punishment she imagined did not arrive.

Zhu Zhuqing only felt her vision darken slightly, and a strange sensation came from her lips.

Looking closely, it turned out Ye Feng had pressed himself against her.

"Mm..."

Zhu Zhuqing instantly widened her beautiful eyes, her mind went blank, and she crashed on the spot.

Obviously she hadn't reacted to what was happening.

Where was the promised "punishment"?

This seemed like a "reward," right?

The two gazed into each other's eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was somewhat dazed.

While Ye Feng's eyes were full of aggression, without any concealment.

Zhu Zhuqing gradually came to her senses; not only was she not angry in her heart, but endless joy surged forth.

"So... he also likes me..."

Zhu Zhuqing slowly closed her eyes, leaving only this one thought in her mind.

Just like discovering the object of her secret crush also liked her, that feeling of surprise naturally went without saying.

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously reached out her hand, actively hooking Ye Feng's neck, exerting slight force.

Her slender, powerful thighs directly wrapped around Ye Feng, and the two pressed tightly together.

"Hmm???????????"

Ye Feng was slightly stunned.

Originally, he just felt his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing was nearly there, and finding any reason to confirm it would facilitate future development.

He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to be so proactive...

Who can withstand this?

Ye Feng held Zhu Zhuqing and directly rushed into a small lounge beside them.

Although the training room wasn't large, it still had basic facilities.

Although there was no bed in the lounge, there was a large sofa.

The two of them fell onto the sofa together.

Then……

(……)

……

……

Two hours later.

Zhu Zhuqing lay prone on the sofa in an M-shape, her face full of exhaustion.

"Punishment over~"

Ye Feng lay on top of Zhu Zhuqing, leaned close to her ear, and blew gently.

"You really are a monster…… how can anyone bully someone like this……"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ye Feng listlessly, crystal teardrops still at the corners of her eyes; clearly she had been bullied miserably.

"I only wanted a taste; you're the one who pressed yourself against me." Ye Feng shrugged, speaking speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face color reddened inexplicably.

After all, at that time Ye Feng indeed made no further moves; it was her own brain heating up, pressing herself against him on her own initiative.

"I don't care…… you've done this to me…… you have to take responsibility!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing instantly grew somewhat anxious, grabbed Ye Feng's palm in one clutch, and pinned it beneath her, clearly afraid he would walk away on the spot.

"Oh? Then tell me, how do you want me to take responsibility?"

Ye Feng felt the soft yielding in his palm, his tone carrying thick teasing intent.

"I……"

Zhu Zhuqing was instantly choked for a moment.

Today's matter was entirely an accident; she brought the fire upon herself, and it was also voluntary on her part; forcing Ye Feng to take responsibility didn't make sense either.

The main point was, she was merely a clan member almost written off as a failure within the clan.

No background, no strength.

And Ye Feng was the Young Master of the entire Xingchen Sect.

In others' eyes, for her to curry favor with Ye Feng was already fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes, something those wild women outside dream of doing; how could she still want more?

Never mind other people; even she herself thought this way.

She was not qualified for Ye Feng.

As for making Ye Feng take responsibility, that was even more nonsense.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat inexplicable grievance and confusion…… tears dripping down patter-patter.

Originally already tossed about by Ye Feng until she had no strength left, now she completely wilted, burying her head in the sofa, sobbing softly, her heart filled with indescribable grievance and sorrow.

She didn't blame Ye Feng, only blamed herself for being too stupid……

"Haha, alright alright, just teasing you."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing brain-supplementing some strange things again, Ye Feng hurriedly spoke to explain: "From today on, you're one of my own people."

"O…… one of your own?"

Zhu Zhuqing lifted her head slightly, clearly looking somewhat bewildered.

"Right, one of my own people."

Ye Feng leaned down gently, pinched Zhu Zhuqing's chin, turned her head toward him, stared straight at her, and said seriously: "From today on, your matters are my matters; I'll help you grow stronger, help you defeat all enemies!"
