Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

Back home, Fengqi sat down in the rocking chair and covered herself with her cloak.

He had a "let's see how you perform" look on his face.

Seeing this, Lin Yu knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he bluntly said...

"This afternoon when I went to sell alcohol, I suddenly had a sudden urge and felt that something was about to happen to my body, so I booked a room and that's how I broke through."

"It's been delayed until now, and you know what happened next."

Lin Yu shrugged, speaking in a half-serious, half-joking manner.

breakthrough?

Feng Qi, sitting in the rocking chair, blinked, feeling inexplicably angry.

She had read all those cultivation techniques and knew exactly how far one could progress in them.

It's like someone telling you they practice squats and suddenly become a martial arts master.

What breakthrough?

Training this kind of thing can even help you grow a few more centimeters taller.

The more Fengqi thought about it, the angrier she became.

This anger stemmed not from anything else, but simply from Lin Yu's refusal to tell her the truth and his choice to deceive her with lies.

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he looked at Feng Qi.

He didn't know if it was his imagination or what, but he felt that after he explained, Feng Qi's expression seemed to grow even colder.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing that Feng Qi's expression was off, Lin Yu coughed and asked softly.

The two were close together, and the shadow they had seen at the city gate earlier seemed to have reappeared.

Deep within Feng Qi's eyes, emotions surged continuously.

"Nothing, let's eat."

Feng Qi spoke indifferently, shifting her gaze away, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Yu glanced at Feng Qi with some concern, but said nothing.

Sometimes, it's not necessary to get to the bottom of everything.

Just like he never asked about Feng Qi's true identity or family background.

Sometimes, when the time is right, you'll naturally tell the other person.

Besides, Lin Yu wasn't sure if he had misread the shadow in Feng Qi's eyes.

Every time I try to confirm something, it just disappears.

Moreover, Lin Yu hadn't noticed anything strange about Feng Qi before, and assumed it was just his imagination.

"Okay, I'll go make two new dishes."

Lin Yu smiled, got up, and walked towards the kitchen.

It's normal to feel worried and upset after someone has disappeared without a word for so long and there's been no news from them.

I'll treat her well tonight.

Lin Yu was secretly wondering to himself, completely unaware that after he left, Feng Qi quietly got up and walked into the room.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the dim room.

Feng Qi sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself in the mirror with a blank expression.

However, the deep, uncontrollable darkness in the clear eyes reflected in the mirror began to overflow, even showing an unstoppable tendency to spill out.

This deep, dark aura continued to spread, extending into dark lines at the corners of Feng Qi's eyes, adding a touch of sinister charm to her otherwise aloof face.

Feng Qi reached out and gently touched the dark lines on her face, her eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if this horrifying scene had never happened to them at all.

The dark patterns continued to spread, quickly reaching all over his body.

Beneath her clothes, her slender and alluring body was already covered in her clothes.

Only in the chest, where the heart is, is there a last patch of pure land, no bigger than a fingernail.

However, this pure land is being eroded little by little, and it obviously won't last much longer.

Looking at the changes in himself, a sigh echoed in the empty room after a long while.

Her gaze drifted towards the kitchen, as if she were searching for a certain figure.

"time to eat!"

A moment later, Lin Yu's voice rang out in the courtyard.

"Ah."

Feng Qi responded and got up to walk into the courtyard.

On the dressing table, the small box, which Feng Qi usually kept well and was filled with various valuable items, was opened and placed there, as if waiting to receive something.

yard.

A small wooden table and two small stools.

On the table are three dishes that look, smell, and taste delicious, as well as a bottle of fine wine that exudes a strong aroma.

"Come and try some; today's dishes should all be your favorites."

Lin Yu said with a smile, pouring a glass of wine and handing it over.

Looking at the delicacies on the table and the fine wine in front of her, Feng Qi's usually cold eyes seemed to soften at this moment.

Chapter 30 A Shocking Change in the Dead of Night

Downed a few glasses of wine.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to have returned to normal, and they didn't seem to have had a minor argument at all.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Yu, who smelled slightly of alcohol, took out a small bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Feng Qi's gaze naturally fell upon it, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"This is a little gadget I've been tinkering with lately, and it's the key to my future wealth and success."

"This is the first bottle, and the flavor should be your type."

Hearing Lin Yu say this, Feng Qi became even more curious.

He reached out and took the small bottle, then pulled off the stopper.

A faint, refreshing, and slightly cool fragrance wafted out and reached the tip of my nose.

"This is perfume made from plum blossom essential oil. Just apply a little to your wrists and behind your ears when you use it."

"How is it? Do you like it? I saw that you planted a lot of plum blossoms in the yard a while ago. This was specially made according to your preferences."

"I'm telling you, this perfume is definitely more high-end than anything you can buy in cosmetic stores. I guarantee that every woman who uses it will fall in love with it."

Feng Qi watched as Lin Yu, with a hint of smugness and pride in his expression, chattered on and on.

The delicate fragrance emanating from the small bottle in my hand continued to spread.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Whatever she likes.

Besides plum blossoms, no other flowers can survive in the dead of winter.

If it were another season

Fengqi slowly tilted the bottle, and the transparent liquid slowly flowed out.

I gently dabbed it with my finger, then plugged the bottle and carefully applied it to my wrist and behind my ears.

Suddenly, the scent in the air became even stronger; that delicate fragrance seemed particularly suitable for the cold weather.

"very nice."

Feng Qi, unusually, didn't say anything in denial and spoke seriously to Lin Yu.

"That's rare. I thought you'd say you didn't like it."

Lin Yu looked at the beautiful woman before him and said with a smile.

Feng Qi's fair fingertips caressed the small porcelain bottle, her gaze towards Lin Yu somewhat strange.

"Is that how you see me?"

"That's not true."

Lin Yu touched his nose. "I just feel that you rarely say what's on your mind."

Feng Qi didn't refute, but just stared blankly at Lin Yu until he felt a little uncomfortable, then suddenly spoke.
