In the center of the plaza, as Lin Feng's words fell, the shimmering Breakthrough Pill instantly extinguished all its light, flickering rapidly among the crowd.
In the pitch black, countless figures held their breath, the example of Zhang Laosan before them staring back. Now, everyone wanted to be the lucky one with the Breakthrough Pill above their head.
"Three, two,"
Princess Yaoyue's adorable voice echoed in the plaza, and the hearts of everyone present seemed to be pulled along, beating in rhythm with the sound.
"One, stop!"
At the same moment Yaoyue's voice stopped, a beam of light suddenly burst forth in the dark plaza.
"Ah!"
Before anyone could see who was so lucky, a cry of surprise rang out. Looking in the direction of the sound, they discovered a truly comical scene. The shimmering Breakthrough Pill hovered above a noblewoman's head, and she seemed to have been stunned by this enormous surprise, actually fainting.
This dramatic scene left the envious crowd speechless. Fortunately, with the help of her friends, she quickly woke up.
"Young lady, please come to the center of the square!"
Just then, Lin Feng's gentle voice rang out. Upon hearing this, the newly awakened noblewoman's eyes widened into hearts, and she nearly fainted again.
Luckily, her friend reacted quickly, gently tugging at her and whispering something in her ear. This made her blush, but she nodded in agreement.
Then, she took a deep breath, causing her ample bosom to rise and fall, startling everyone around her.
Looking at the noblewoman who approached, she appeared to be no more than twenty years old. Presumably born into a wealthy family, she exuded an air of nobility. Moreover, her talent was surprisingly good, reaching the peak of the Battle Master level, which was much stronger than Yafi of the Mittel family. If she cultivated diligently in the future, she might have the potential to become a Battle Spirit, so there was no need to worry about her becoming a bargaining chip for a family marriage.
"Young lady, what kind of fifth-grade pill do you desire?" With a wave of his hand, the scroll displaying the pill formulas mastered by Lin Feng reappeared, hovering before the noblewoman. "Or perhaps, like the friend from before, you wish to choose another fifth-grade pill?"
Hearing Lin Feng's gentle words, the woman in her twenties blushed crimson. After taking a deep breath, she mustered her courage and said
, "Master Lin Feng, I do not wish for a fifth-grade pill."
Her face grew even hotter as she spoke. She glanced at Lin Feng, who showed a hint of curiosity, gritted her teeth, and whispered,
"I only... I only wish for Master Lin Feng to kiss me!"
After saying this, the noblewoman could no longer suppress her shyness. She was already fantasizing about the name of her 108th child with Lin Feng, her head spinning as if she were about to faint.
As soon as the noblewoman finished speaking, the room erupted in commotion. Everyone present was a cultivator of Dou Qi. Even the weakest fighter, amplified by their battle qi, possessed incredibly sharp hearing, naturally catching the noblewoman's astonishing words.
"Damn it! This seductive slut! I knew something was off about her. How shameless! She actually wants my Master Lin Feng to kiss her! She deserves to die! Don't stop me! I'll tear her apart!"
Scenes like this were commonplace in the square, showing that the noblewoman had truly incurred the wrath of the crowd.
Lin Feng, the person involved, wore an embarrassed expression. How could this girl be so fierce? What was he to do now?
"Master Lin Feng, why don't you just kiss her? That kiss is worth a fifth-grade pill!"
A gentle and captivating voice entered Lin Feng's mind. It belonged to Yun Yun, the gentle-faced sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. Looking at her mild demeanor, no one expected her to be such a cunning woman, actually flirting with him. After Yun Yun spoke, her face flushed instantly, somewhat bewildered by her reaction.
Gu He, who had been watching closely with suspicion, noticed the fleeting blush on Yun Yun's face with his Dou Wang-level eyesight. He clenched his fists again, feeling as if the world was spinning, as if he had been abandoned.
"Elder Gu He, are you feeling unwell?"
Just then, Yun Leng, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect, noticed Gu He's unusual behavior and asked, as his face was alternating between red and white, which was quite alarming.
"It's nothing!"
Lin Feng and Yun Yun were unaware of Gu He and the others' actions. Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Lin Feng relaxed.
"Sect Master Yun, how about I grant you a kiss? The reward is a fifth-grade pill, how about that?"
After teasing the cunning sect master for a moment, Lin Feng looked at the blushing noblewoman before him and spoke softly and quickly, not giving Yun Yun a chance to speak.
"Miss, I'm sorry, but I really can't agree to that condition. Please find another one!"
"Then please, Master Lin Feng, grant me a set of cultivation resources equivalent to a fifth-grade pill!"
The noblewoman hesitated for a moment, knowing that Lin Feng wouldn't do such a thing in public. After thinking for a while, she chose the same condition as Zhang Laosan.
Hearing this, Lin Feng again offered the same configuration as Zhang Laosan. Of course, since the girl so highly regarded his talent, he gave her more, adding cultivation resources equivalent to a Dou Ling expert.
However, just as Lin Feng handed the storage ring to the noblewoman, something unexpected happened.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the noblewoman, as if she had cultivated some kind of heaven-rank speed fighting technique, quickly pressed her hand against Lin Feng's face as she received the storage ring.
"Master Lin Feng, wait for me! I will definitely cultivate diligently and one day I will be worthy of Master Lin Feng!"
Having successfully ambush him, the noblewoman seemed to realize she had angered the crowd and hurriedly left the scene. With Lin Feng's help, she swiftly returned to her position. Fortunately, Lin Feng had already concealed the light of the Breakthrough Pill and quickly spoke, attracting everyone's attention, so they didn't notice the noblewoman's figure.
"Now, let's begin the selection of the last lucky audience member. Everyone, please look forward to it!"
"Master Lin Feng, you really have a lot of luck with women!"
For some reason, Yun Yun transmitted her inner thoughts to Lin Feng. Then, realizing her own inappropriate behavior, Yun Yun quickly spoke.
"Three, two, one!"
As Yun Yun counted down gently and beautifully, everyone's hearts were pounding to their limit; only this last chance remained. The wealthy young ladies present were all hoping to be chosen, so they could quickly steal a kiss from Master Lin Feng, just like before.
"Stop!"
