Feeling that huge amount of vitality in this slender body, Li Feng couldn’t help but doubt whether this woman was really... human.
Just then, a soft hand touched his wrist.
Fen Ling stood in the same spot, completely unmoved.
She was still smiling lightly, as if she had only taken a light punch from a child.
Her robes fluttered slightly, but there wasn’t even the slightest sign of injury on her body.
Fen Ling gently pulled his wrist from her toned abdomen and took half a step back.
She looked at Li Feng with a soft, almost regretful smile.
"...It seems this Empress has lost."
Her voice was calm, but there was a clear trace of regret in her tone.
"I was quite enjoying this spar... it ended too quickly."
Li Feng hesitated for a moment, still stunned by her ridiculous vitality.
He realized that this woman had only been using techniques to counter and attack, and not her full strength.
’...If she did, I probably wouldn’t have had such an easy chance of landing a hit on her.’
The thought made him look at her in a new light.
It seemed her title of standing on the same ground as the Sect Leader in the past was not exaggerated at all.
Fen Ling seemed to read his thoughts.
She chuckled softly, her crimson eyes curving beautifully.
"You don’t need to look so surprised. This was never a real battle."
She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her movements graceful and dignified.
"Besides... I believe my innocence has now been proven, yes?"
Li Feng frowned slightly.
He remained silent for a moment, carefully recalling the aura and temperament of the cloaked culprit he had sensed back then.
The more he compared the two, the clearer it became.
Fen Ling’s presence felt completely different.
Her aura was vast, majestic, and filled with a noble, dragon-like dignity.
It carried the heavy weight of someone who had stood at the peak for many years.
The cloaked person, on the other hand, had felt colder, more sinister, and strangely... artificial.
Moreover, Fen Ling exuded far more life and vitality than that cloaked figure.
Even now, standing in front of him, her presence felt like a boundless ocean of golden dragon qi, warm, majestic, and full of endless potential.
’And from Lan Suyao’s words, Fen Ling should only be able to wield dragon qi too... so there might be a high chance that she wasn’t that cloaked figure.’
From the Divine Brick’s explanation and the brief clash he had with the cloak figure, Li Feng could tell that the cloaked person was somehow using the flame of a phoenix.
The feeling was similar to Yue Lan’s ice, but in this case, it manifested as a flame... cold and destructive, yet carrying a hidden, scorching heat that could burn everything to ash.
The two powers felt fundamentally different.
Fen Ling’s dragon qi was noble, vast, and filled with life. The cloaked person’s phoenix flame was twisted, cold, and filled with pure destruction.
Li Feng’s frown slowly eased, but...
’Who knows if there was some kind of strange technique again that could change their qi?’
Even though he had never heard of such a method, he couldn’t let such a possibility go.
So he still doubted Fen Ling.
Not to mention... this might be an opportunity for him to push her further.
After a brief moment of silence, Li Feng looked at her directly, his voice calm but firm.
"Your Majesty... I apologize for my rudeness, but this isn’t enough as evidence to prove yourself. You must either find more evidence or... just tell us where you had been during the night of that chaos."
After those words, the training ground fell into a heavy silence.
Yue Lan and Lan Suyao looked at the two figures in the distance.
To be honest, they already mostly believed that Fen Ling was innocent, as they both knew that it was impossible to replicate dragon qi... or at least from their knowledge.
Fen Ling, however, remained calm.
She looked at Li Feng quietly for a long moment, her eyes unreadable.
Then she let out a soft, almost helpless sigh.
"...You are truly a cautious person, Envoy Li."
She thought for a moment, then a faint, decisive smile appeared on her lips.
"Very well. Since you still have doubts, this Empress will give you more proof."
Fen Ling turned her gaze toward Yue Lan and Lan Suyao.
"Both of you... please leave the training ground for a while. What I am about to show Envoy Li is something only he needs to see."
Yue Lan and Lan Suyao exchanged a quick glance.
Seeing Li Feng nod at them, they both nodded and bowed slightly before turning to leave.
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
They turned and left the training ground, leaving only Li Feng and Fen Ling behind.
Once they were gone, Fen Ling looked at Li Feng with a serious expression.
She raised her hand and formed a simple hand seal.
A faint golden barrier rose around the training ground, isolating the area completely.
Li Feng frowned slightly and asked in a calm but cautious voice.
"Your Majesty... what exactly are you planning to show me?"
Fen Ling didn’t answer immediately.
Instead, she slowly walked toward him. Her steps were graceful and unhurried, yet each one closed the distance between them with clear intent.
Li Feng’s eyes narrowed.
He instinctively took half a step back, but Fen Ling continued approaching until she was only an arm’s length away.
She stopped right in front of him, close enough that he could smell the faint, elegant fragrance coming from her body.
Without saying a word, Fen Ling gently took Li Feng’s right hand and placed it directly on her left breast.
Squish...
Then a soft, full, and warm sensation instantly overfilled his palm.
Li Feng’s body stiffened in shock.
"What..."
She leaned slightly closer, her voice low and soft as she murmured near his ear.
"...I noticed you staring at this Empress’s body several times during our spar."
Her hand pressed his palm more firmly against her soft, full breast, letting him feel its perfect shape and warmth.
Then a faint, almost teasing smile appeared on her lips.
"So... how does it feel now? To touch this flesh of mine directly?"
