Chapter 227: Chapter 227 A Large Chest That Holds the Secrets of the Universe
The image had been so vivid that it felt almost real, as if Tang Aining ad truly experienced the moment rather than merely glimpsing it through the threads of fate.
And it had not ended there.
The vision hinted that what followed after that kiss was far more intimate, though the details had blurred like mist within the flow of destiny.
“…”
Tang Aining slowly opened her eyes.
Her calm expression remained, but her thoughts were in complete turmoil.
For someone who had lived more than three thousand years, she had long believed that very little could truly shake her composure.
Yet what she had just seen had unsettled her more than she was willing to admit.
She remained silent for a long time, sitting alone in meditation as the flying boat continued gliding through the sky.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was walking toward the entrance of the academy together with Li Zhiyan and Ye Jian.
The morning training had ended, and the academy grounds were gradually becoming livelier as students moved between classes.
Just as they were nearing the main gate, hurried footsteps suddenly approached from behind.
“Mentor Lin Feng!”
A familiar voice called out.
Ning Xi quickly caught up to them, slightly out of breath from rushing.
“I’m here too, Mentor Lin Feng,” she said shyly. “Can I join you for lunch again?”
Her cheeks were faintly flushed as she spoke.
Lin Feng’s gaze instinctively moved toward her chest, and Ning Xi noticed it immediately.
Instead of shrinking away from his attention, she subtly lifted her chin and straightened her posture.
Her chest pushed forward slightly, proudly presenting her generous curves as if offering them for his appreciation.
After seeing Ling Lan’s bold behavior the day before, Ning Xi had clearly learned something from the experience.
Her teacher’s uniform today was noticeably different.
The collar of her robe had been loosened just enough to reveal a deep and alluring line of cleavage.
The soft fabric framed her full bosom perfectly, and every step she took caused a gentle, natural sway that was difficult for anyone nearby to ignore.
Lin Feng’s eyes lingered for a moment longer than necessary.
Three breaths later, he finally forced himself to look away.
“Sure. You can join us, Teacher Ning Xi,” he replied calmly, though it had taken a small effort to regain his composure.
Beside them, Ye Jian raised an eyebrow as she observed the scene with obvious amusement.
“What a scandalous teacher’s uniform you have there, Teacher Ning Xi,” she said teasingly.
Ning Xi’s face turned even redder.
Ye Jian’s eyes briefly glanced at the impressive display before she continued with a playful tone.
“I suppose I’ll have to follow your example soon,” she added. “Perhaps I should loosen my own uniform a little and show some chest in the coming days as well.”
The teasing comment made Ning Xi blush even harder.
“That’s not what I meant…” she muttered softly, though her voice carried very little conviction.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng simply walked ahead with a faint smile on his face, pretending not to hear the conversation while secretly enjoying the lively atmosphere around him.
Behind him, Li Zhiyan quietly followed, her gaze shifting between the two teachers as she wondered just how bold they might become in the days to come.
The four of them finished lunch in no time, the conversation and laughter flowing naturally as they ate.
The sun was already high in the sky when Ning Xi decided it was time to make her move once more.
“Mentor Lin Feng… are you free this afternoon?” she asked, her voice soft and shy, her eyes flicking toward him with just the slightest nervous sparkle.
Lin Feng looked at her, calm as ever. “I don’t have any more classes today, as you know. Why do you ask?”
Ning Xi’s cheeks flushed a deep red.
She fidgeted slightly, twisting the edge of her uniform in her hands.
“The birthday of my grandmother is coming soon… I’d like to buy her a gift. Could you accompany me to the Golden Harvest Night Market, Mentor Lin Feng? I’d owe you a huge favor if you do.”
Her heart raced. On the surface, it was a simple request, but in her mind, the plan was far more daring.
If she could spend time alone with Lin Feng, even for a short while, she believed it would increase her chances of making him notice her… maybe even fall for her.
“The Golden Harvest Night Market? Don’t you have a class this afternoon, Ning Xi?” Ye Jian was the first to react, raising an eyebrow in mild amusement.
“I… I changed my schedule,” Ning Xi admitted, her blush deepening. “I’ll only be teaching in the morning. The rest of the day, I’m free.”
Ye Jian smirked knowingly. “Oh? So you really are serious about pursuing Young Master Lin Feng. I should be wary of you… but I know our Young Master here can take good care of the two of us at the same time so it’s fine,” she teased lightly, giving Ning Xi a playful nudge.
Ning Xi’s blush deepened, and she looked down at her feet, unsure how to respond.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, simply had the same cold unreadable expression on his face, unbothered by the playful banter.
It was clear she had far more on her mind than just shopping, and Lin Feng found the thought utterly terrifying.
This little dark star had no intention of leaving him in peace at all.
She was relentless and he could feel it already.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Teacher Ye Jian. My intentions are completely pure and innocent!” Ning Xi protested, her face bright red as she tried to sound sincere.
“Really now?” Ye Jian replied with a mischievous grin. “Just look at yourself. Your huge… assets are basically hanging out there, practically begging to be seen. One little slip and they’d spill out for everyone!”
Ning Xi’s blush deepened, and she instinctively tried to adjust her uniform, though the movement only made Ye Jian smirk wider.
“Wait, let me help them… see better, so th…” Ye Jian began teasing again, but Ning Xi quickly cut her off with an indignant squeak.
