I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!

Chapter 327: Chapter 327 Hand on My Heart, Other Hand on Your… Cultivation Base

“I don’t recall having any meeting scheduled with you today.”

As Lin Feng’s words fell, the attention of every woman in the room shifted toward her.

Six pairs of eyes. All watching. All assessing. Huo Mian felt the pressure instantly.

“I…”

Her lips parted, yet no words came out.

For the first time since arriving, hesitation surfaced in her expression.

For a few breaths, the room remained silent.

Then her gaze hardened. The hesitation in her eyes vanished, replaced by determination.

“I have come back to fulfill my part of the deal, Mentor Lin Feng.”

Her voice, though not loud, carried a firm and unwavering resolve.

Before anyone could react, she took a step forward… Then another…

And suddenly, she dropped to her knees.

The sound of her knees hitting the ground echoed clearly within the quiet room.

Without the slightest pause, she lowered her body, bowing deeply until her forehead touched the floor in complete submission.

“Your servant… is here to serve you.”

Her voice was steady, yet there was an undeniable weight behind those words as if she had cast aside something important to say them.

For a moment, no one spoke. Then… a collective gasp broke the silence.

The women around Lin Feng stared at her in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Some frowned, others widened their eyes, clearly not expecting such a declaration.

Even the air itself seemed to grow heavier.

Huo Mian remained motionless, still bowing on the ground, her posture unwavering.

She did not lift her head. She did not take back her words. No matter how the others reacted…

Her decision had already been made.

“Isn’t that Mentor Huo Mian?”

“Did I hear that correctly…? Did she just say she’s Young Master Lin Feng’s servant?”

“I think so… That’s really her. She’s the number one beauty of Spirit Spring Academy. I had no idea Lin Feng had that kind of connection with her…”

The women surrounding Lin Feng began whispering among themselves, their voices filled with shock and disbelief.

None of them bothered to lower their volume, their curious gazes fixed openly on the kneeling figure before them.

Yet Huo Mian remained exactly as she was. Kneeling. Head lowered.

Forehead pressed against the ground. She did not move an inch.

However, contrary to what others might expect, there was not a trace of humiliation or sadness within her heart.

Instead… a surge of uncontrollable excitement rose within her.

“It’s working… it’s really working again!” Huo Mian screamed inwardly, her heart pounding violently in her chest.

She could feel it clearly and unmistakably.

The decay that had been silently eating away at her cultivation… had stopped.

Not only that…

A faint, steady flow of energy began to circulate within her once more, gentle yet full of life.

It was slow, almost imperceptible at first, but it was undeniably growing stronger with each passing second.

Her previously unstable foundation, which had felt as though it might collapse at any moment, was now stabilizing.

Strength returned to it, reinforcing it layer by layer, making it firm… unshakable once again.

A warmth spread throughout her body, seeping into her meridians, nourishing every corner of her being.

It was a feeling she had not experienced in so long that she had nearly forgotten it.

Hope.

Real, tangible hope.

“It’s back… my innate blessing… it’s finally back…”

Huo Mian’s fingers trembled slightly against the ground, though she quickly suppressed it.

She dared not show even the slightest movement, afraid that any change might disrupt this fragile yet miraculous recovery.

At this moment, she was more certain than ever that her decision had been the right one.

“So you remembered our little bet,” Lin Feng said lightly, his tone calm and almost indifferent.

“Treat it as nothing. If this is the reason you took time off from the academy, then don’t let it trouble you. You’re free from any obligation, Mentor Huo Mian. Just consider what happened between us as a simple exchange of pointers between colleagues.”

The moment his words fell and the consequences came instantly.

“Oh no… it’s gone again… I feel weak all of a sudden!” Huo Mian screamed inwardly, her heart plunging into panic.

The warmth that had just begun to fill her body vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

In its place came a chilling emptiness.

The flow of energy within her meridians faltered, then weakened rapidly, slipping away second by second.

Her foundation that was once stabilizing began to tremble again. Cracks formed. Decay returned.

A suffocating sense of weakness spread through her entire being, far worse than before.

Huo Mian’s mind went blank for a brief moment before terror surged uncontrollably within her.

She was not foolish and she understood exactly what this meant.

If she failed to bind herself to Lin Feng… If he refused to accept her…

Then her future would be nothing but darkness.

Her cultivation would continue to erode until nothing remained.

All her years of effort, her status, her pride and everything would crumble away, leaving her as nothing more than a powerless mortal.

For someone like her who was someone who had stood at the peak, who had grown accustomed to strength, respect, and admiration…

Such a fate was worse than death.

“No… I can’t accept this… I absolutely can’t accept this!”

Without hesitation…

“Please, Master Lin Feng!”

Huo Mian suddenly cried out, her voice loud and resolute, echoing throughout the room.

“Please accept me as your slave!”

Her body pressed even lower against the ground, as if she wished to bury herself beneath his feet.

“I swear in the name of the Grand Dao that I will forever obey Master Lin Feng’s commands! I will serve you with all that I am… body, mind, heart, and soul and be a loyal slave for as long as I live!”

Her voice did not waver in the slightest.

“This I swear… if I break this oath, may the fury of heavenly lightning reduce me to ashes!”

The moment her words ended…

BOOM!

A deafening thunderclap erupted from the heavens.

The sky above darkened in an instant as rolling thunder echoed across the horizon, as if the heavens themselves had acknowledged her vow.

The sound reverberated through the courtyard, heavy and absolute and binding her dao oath into reality.
