Chapter 70 Experience
Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Experience
Not only that… Ning Xi now fully believed that Lin Feng was likely far stronger than what he had revealed today.
Perhaps even much stronger than Li Tianhao, stronger than most people at the academy, and possibly even stronger than some elders.
The thought sent a small thrill through her heart.
As for becoming his dao companion, Ning Xi realized she wasn’t against the idea at all.
In fact, the more she thought about it, the more appealing it became.
Lin Feng was strong, handsome, calm, mysterious, and surprisingly kind beneath his cold exterior.
He carried himself with confidence, yet never arrogance.
He had treated her with a strange mix of indifference and sincerity that only made him more intriguing.
What more could a woman possibly want?
Ning Xi nodded slightly, her lips curling upward as her smile grew brighter and brighter.
The more she thought about Lin Feng’s qualities, the longer her mental list became.
Strength. Talent. Composure. Looks. Wealth. Mystery.
Even his annoying evasiveness somehow added to his charm.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng sat there looking perfectly serious and composed, his face calm and unreadable.
But inside?
His mind was in complete chaos.
What the fuck? Did I just get myself my first girlfriend ever?! And all I did was sit here and not be a simp. Maybe that’s what made all the difference!”
His heart was pounding wildly, his thoughts racing in all directions at once.
He wanted to stay calm, to maintain his cool image, but internally he was panicking, celebrating, and questioning reality all at the same time.
Am I dreaming? Did I misunderstand something? Is this really happening? Me? A girlfriend? Finally?
He barely managed to keep his expression steady, even as his inner voice continued screaming in disbelief.
Lin Feng was happy but he forced himself to hold back.
He did not forget who Ning Xi truly was, nor the complicated position she held, nor the many hidden dangers surrounding her identity.
Getting too close to her could invite trouble he wasn’t prepared to face… not ever.
Only a foolish man would jump into the water without knowing how to swim, then drown and blame the water for being too deep.
Say what you will about Lin Feng, but he was no fool.
This death trap?
He would not succumb to it! Not willingly!
“I’m flattered by your words, Teacher Ning Xi,” Lin Feng said calmly, his tone sincere but firm.
“But I must tell you now that I already have a fiancée. So if you don’t want your heart to be broken, you should give up now. You’re a good woman… kind, warmhearted, and sincere. Any man would be lucky to have you, and I’m sure you’ll find your true soulmate soon enough. There are some things in this world that simply aren’t meant to be.”
He spoke with the seriousness of someone drawing a clear line, hoping this would be enough to end the matter.
But as always, Ning Xi was stubborn by nature.
“A fiancée? Hmmmm…” Ning Xi tilted her head slightly, her expression thoughtful rather than discouraged.
To her, this was not shocking at all.
Powerful prodigies almost always had one or several engagements arranged from a young age.
In fact, it would have been stranger if he didn’t.
More than that, a deep and genuine sense of respect now shone in her eyes.
She had no doubt whatsoever that if it had been any other man… someone other than Lin Feng… he would have eagerly lied, cheated, stolen, or even killed just to take advantage of the situation and claim her for himself.
But Lin Feng hadn’t.
He had drawn a clear line.
He had spoken honestly, refused her gently, and even wished her happiness with someone else.
In a world filled with selfish cultivators, scheming clans, and men who viewed women as trophies, tools, or stepping stones, such integrity was exceedingly rare.
It was at that moment that Ning Xi realized something important… perhaps even life-altering.
Her heart trembled.
This is the kind of man I want! Ning Xi shouted in her mind.
Not because he was strong.
Not because he was handsome.
Not because he was rich.
But because he had principles.
And with that realization, a deeper, more powerful obsession quietly took root in her heart.
Ning Xi chose to fight for Lin Feng!
“Is she pretty?” Ning Xi asked casually.
“Absolutely pretty. More than pretty. She’s the epitome of beauty. If beauty had a face and a body, then that could only be my fiancée,” Lin Feng replied smoothly.
It was, of course, a lie.
His thoughts drifted to all the untouchable actresses, idols, and artists from his past life on Earth… those women who existed only on screens and posters, flawless and dazzling beyond reach.
Their beauty truly had been something else.
Then his gaze unintentionally shifted back to Ning Xi, lingering for just a brief moment on her figure especially in her heart area before he quickly looked away and sighed inwardly.
“Why do xianxia women look so ripe and precious?” Lin Feng mused silently. Their beauty was different… alive, vibrant, full of vitality and spiritual allure. It was far more dangerous than mere appearance.
Ning Xi, however, was far from discouraged. Instead, she continued her questioning with even more interest, her tone light but persistent, as if his refusal had only made him more intriguing.
Twenty minutes later, the first batch of dishes arrived.
The door to the private room opened softly, and a procession of waitstaff entered, each carrying exquisite plates that radiated faint spiritual light.
Aromas of roasted spirit beast meat, simmered spiritual herbs, and refined sauces instantly filled the room, making the air itself feel richer and more nourishing.
Lin Feng and Ning Xi began to eat.
The moment the first bite entered their mouths, a warm, powerful essence surged through their bodies.
The precious meat of magical beasts dissolved into pure spiritual energy, flowing through their meridians, nourishing their flesh, strengthening their bones, and refreshing their minds.
It was as though they were cultivating while dining.
More than that, the taste of the dishes was absolutely divine.
Each bite was layered with complex flavors… rich, fragrant, savory, and smooth… so exquisite that even Lin Feng paused between bites, savoring the sensation.
Ning Xi closed her eyes for a moment, a soft hum escaping her lips as she enjoyed the food, her expression relaxing in pure bliss.
