Chapter 727: Chapter 727 Will You Allow My Yang Energy to Fill Your Cavern Permanently?
The same mysterious shadow remained hidden in the darkness, its eyes brightening with excitement as it continued to follow Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi from a safe distance.
After witnessing what had happened earlier, most people would have wisely kept their distance.
Not this shadow.
If anything, witnessing the intervention of Dao Lord Cloud Piercer had only made the shadow even more emboldened.
Nobody else dared to approach Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi anymore.
Even the city guards had stepped aside, and the surrounding cultivators could only watch from afar.
Yet the shadow continued following them.
It was extremely careful, hiding its presence and maintaining enough distance that ordinary cultivators would have difficulty detecting it.
Unfortunately for the shadow, it had no idea that Lin Feng had already noticed its existence.
Lin Feng simply did not bother to expose it.
He wanted to see what this mysterious follower intended to do.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi continued enjoying their night in Infinite Sword Domain City.
They visited several more places, wandered through the bustling streets, sampled some of the city’s famous food, and admired the countless cultivation treasures being displayed throughout the shops.
The night passed peacefully.
Eventually, the two returned to the inn they had rented.
Once they entered their room and closed the door behind them, the lively sounds of the city were gradually muffled.
Li Ruoxi looked toward Lin Feng with a faint smile.
After spending the entire night sightseeing together, the two naturally wanted some private time and make love once again.
However, before they could even fully begin, a sudden knock came from the door.
Knock. Knock.
Both of them paused.
Li Ruoxi turned toward the door with a puzzled expression.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, remained completely calm.
"Come in."
The door slowly opened.
A figure appeared on the other side.
It was a woman.
She stood quietly outside their room, her appearance beautiful and her presence somewhat mysterious.
Li Ruoxi raised an eyebrow.
Lin Feng stared at the unexpected visitor for a moment before silently sighing in his heart.
"Why am I not surprised?"
It seemed that no matter where he went, trouble had a habit of finding him.
Or perhaps...
It was not trouble that kept finding him.
It was beautiful women.
Lin Feng looked at the woman standing before him and smiled faintly.
"Can I help you?"
"Good evening, Young Master Lin Feng."
The woman stood calmly at the doorway, her beautiful face showing a mixture of nervousness and determination.
"Please forgive me for entering so abruptly, but... I have a favor to ask."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
The woman took a small breath before looking directly into his eyes.
"Can you become my husband?"
She asked the question so directly and bravely that even Li Ruoxi was momentarily stunned.
Lin Feng was also silent for a moment.
He had expected many things from an unexpected visitor.
He had not expected a marriage proposal.
"Your husband?" Lin Feng repeated, almost wondering if he had heard correctly.
"Yes."
The woman nodded without backing down.
"My name is Jiang Feiyan."
She was one of the daughters of a major clan in Infinite Sword Domain City.
Her family possessed considerable influence, wealth, and connections, and countless cultivators would have considered being born into such a family a blessing.
But Jiang Feiyan did not feel particularly blessed.
In the cultivation world, powerful clans often treated their daughters differently from their sons.
For women like Jiang Feiyan, marriage could become nothing more than a transaction.
Her family had already arranged a marriage for her.
She had been treated like a valuable bargaining chip, something that could be exchanged to strengthen the clan’s relationships with another powerful faction.
Her feelings had never been the most important consideration.
Nobody had seriously asked her what she wanted.
Jiang Feiyan had initially tried to accept her circumstances.
But the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.
Why should she allow her entire life to be decided by people who did not have to live it?
Why should she marry someone chosen by her family simply because the marriage benefited the clan?
Then she met Lin Feng.
Earlier that night, she had seen him at the restaurant.
She had also witnessed the confrontation that followed.
At first, she had simply been curious about him.
But after seeing how calmly Lin Feng handled the situation and, more importantly, how even Dao Lord Cloud Piercer personally intervened and declared him a great guest of Infinite Sword Domain City, Jiang Feiyan realized that Lin Feng was certainly not an ordinary cultivator.
That discovery gave her an idea.
A bold idea.
If her family wanted her to marry someone anyway, then perhaps she should choose the man herself.
It would be her own rebellion.
She would no longer allow her family to decide her future for her.
And so, after gathering enough courage, Jiang Feiyan had followed Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi back to the inn.
She knew her request was sudden.
She knew it might sound ridiculous.
But she had already made her decision.
"I know this is abrupt," Jiang Feiyan said, her voice becoming slightly softer. "And I understand that you have no reason to agree to my request."
She clenched her hands slightly.
"But I still wanted to ask."
Lin Feng looked at her quietly.
He could see that this was not some casual joke.
Jiang Feiyan was genuinely serious.
She had come here because she wanted to make her own choice for once.
As for Lin Feng, he could not help but find the entire situation somewhat amusing.
He had only come to Infinite Sword Domain City to spend time with Li Ruoxi and enjoy some sightseeing.
Yet somehow, before the night was even over, another beautiful woman had personally knocked on his door and asked him to become her husband.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly.
"Why does this keep happening to me?"
Meanwhile, Jiang Feiyan waited nervously for his answer.
For the first time in her life, she was attempting to take control of her own fate.
And whatever Lin Feng’s answer might be, at least this time, the decision would be hers to make.
