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

Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Absorbing the Yang Energy Before the Congee Gets Cold

A few minutes later, Li Ruoxi returned to Lin Feng’s courtyard.

This time, unlike before, there was no concealment, no attempt to hide her presence from the others.

Lin Feng allowed her to be seen.

As she stepped into the secret chamber, the atmosphere obviously shifted.

The women already inside woke up and immediately noticed.

One after another, their spiritual senses extended toward her, sweeping across her body without the slightest restraint.

It wasn’t out of hostility, but curiosity… sharp, probing curiosity.

Li Ruoxi showed no reaction at all. She neither resisted nor acknowledged their scrutiny.

It was as if such attention no longer held any meaning to her.

With natural ease, she walked further inside and returned to her spot from earlier and began shedding her clothes with every step.

Among all of Lin Feng’s women, one person reacted far more strongly than the others.

Li Zhiyan.

Her pupils shrank slightly as realization struck her like a bolt of lightning.

“So the chief warden… she really has become Young Master Lin Feng’s woman as well…!”

Her thoughts trembled.

“Then… doesn’t that mean… my secret has already been exposed too?!”

A faint panic rose in her chest, though she kept her expression steady on the surface.

Before her thoughts could spiral any further, Li Ruoxi’s calm voice rang out.

“Yes, the matriarch already knows about you and your facade, Li Zhiyan.”

The words were spoken casually, yet they struck directly at her heart.

Li Zhiyan stiffened.

“You’re free to return to the clan if you wish.”

There was no pressure in Li Ruoxi’s tone, no hidden threat.

It was simply a statement… cold, factual, and indifferent.

At that moment, Li Ruoxi had already reached the bed.

Without hesitation, she lay down at the edge, her posture relaxed.

The bed itself was enormous, easily large enough to accommodate Lin Feng along with multiple women without anyone feeling crowded.

Silence lingered in the room.

“I understand, Chief Warden. Thank you.”

Li Zhiyan’s reply was soft and calm. But… she didn’t move. Her body remained exactly where it was.

Inside her mind, however, a storm was raging. So her secret was no longer a secret.

So the matriarch knew. So Li Ruoxi had truly crossed that final line. Everything had changed.

And yet…

As her gaze subtly shifted toward Lin Feng, a different thought began to take root.

This man… was far more terrifying and far more extraordinary than she had initially believed.

To subdue someone like Li Ruoxi… to make even her willingly stay by his side…

What kind of existence was he?

A flicker of hesitation appeared in her heart.

If she left now… would she ever encounter an opportunity like this again?

Power. Protection. Mystery.

In the end… she made her choice.

Li Zhiyan slowly relaxed her body once more, closing her eyes as if nothing had happened.

She remained exactly where she was, not even moving an inch away.

She wasn’t leaving. Not now. Perhaps not ever.

After all… only a truly foolish woman would walk away from an opportunity like this.

***

Morning arrived, and the gentle rays of a quiet Sunday sun spilled into the courtyard, painting the stone paths and wooden pavilions in a warm, golden glow.

The air felt calm, almost serene, as if the events of the previous night had been washed away by the soft light of dawn.

Li Zhiyan was already awake long before anyone else.

She moved through the kitchen with practiced grace, her expression composed as she began preparing breakfast.

Despite everything that had happened, her demeanor remained steady.

Not long after, Yun Wanqing entered as well.

Without exchanging many words, she stepped beside Li Zhiyan and began assisting her.

The two worked in quiet coordination, their movements naturally falling into rhythm.

Soon, Chen Nuo appeared at the doorway, hesitating briefly before stepping inside.

“I… I can help too,” she said softly.

Li Zhiyan gave a small nod, and just like that, the three women began working together.

The atmosphere in the kitchen gradually warmed, not just from the cooking fires, but from the quiet sense of companionship forming between them.

Before long, the table was filled.

Dish after dish was set down, creating a feast far more lavish than what one would expect from an ordinary morning.

The aroma alone was enough to stir anyone’s appetite, and the once-silent courtyard now felt alive with energy.

One by one, the others gathered.

Lin Feng arrived last, his presence calm yet naturally commanding as he took his seat.

His gaze swept across the table briefly, taking in the scene… the food, the women, the nice harmony that had formed.

“You really are a man that can’t be resisted, Lin Feng.”

Ye Jian’s voice broke the calm, carrying a teasing tone.

“Even the chief warden of the Li Clan has fallen for your charms. I suppose we can finally have some peace at night and no more of those… exaggerated performances and noises coming from your room.”

“Yes,” Lin Feng replied calmly, his expression still unreadable. “It seems things will be quieter from now on.”

There was even a faint trace of amusement in his voice.

As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward Li Ruoxi.

She sat there, posture straight, her expression as cold and composed as ever.

The morning light only seemed to enhance her beauty, casting a soft glow across her features.

Despite Ye Jian’s words, she showed no reaction whatsoever, as though the conversation had nothing to do with her.

If anything, her indifference made the situation even more striking.

Lin Feng observed her for a brief moment before withdrawing his gaze.

Then, his attention moved elsewhere.

It landed on Ling Lan.

She sat quietly among the others, her presence far more reserved compared to the rest.

There was still a trace of uncertainty in her eyes, as if she hadn’t fully found her place yet.

But Lin Feng’s eyes held a different meaning as he looked at her. A decision had already been made.

Today… he would guide her onto the path of cultivation. Just like he had done with Su Muyao.

The thought lingered in his mind as he calmly reached for his tea, the corners of his lips lifting ever so slightly.

It seemed this peaceful morning… would not remain ordinary for long.
