Chapter 118 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot
Fine, golden-red dragon scales appeared, and a strong, scorching current burst forth, along with an invisible sense of majesty emanating from Huo Yuhao.
As the dragon's might was unleashed, the surrounding space seemed to transform into crimson and gold in an instant.
Drawn by the dragon's might aura emanating from Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng's body began to be covered in red dragon scales, and a scorching aura continuously emanated from him, which was constantly increasing.
When the temperature reached the extreme point that Wu Feng could withstand, Huo Yuhao controlled a small clump of flaming glue, which accounted for about a quarter of the total volume, and floated it into her mouth.
The moment the scorching glue entered his stomach, Wu Feng's entire body began to glow with a rich crimson color, and his temperature, which had previously stagnated, began to rise again.
Wu Feng couldn't help but frown slightly, and his bones cracked and popped.
The red dragon scales that originally covered her body began to become more three-dimensional, with the edges of the scales shimmering with a strange luster, and a faint golden pattern began to shimmer on her forehead.
As Wu Feng continued to breathe in and out, the crimson light that originally filled the surroundings began to continuously merge into her body, and the violent fire aura gradually subsided.
The close-fitting leather clothes that Wu Feng was wearing began to melt rapidly under the terrifying heat, turning into wisps of white smoke and disappearing into the void.
This leather jacket was a special one custom-made by Wu Feng, not only comfortable and form-fitting, but also able to withstand the high temperatures generated after her original martial soul was attached to her. However, at this moment, it was directly melted by this even more terrifying heat.
Before Huo Yuhao could react to this sudden turn of events, after a brief flash of crimson light, a long dragon tail suddenly emerged from Wu Feng's coccyx.
On the dragon's tail, jagged spikes extended from large to small along the central line to the end, while the end of the dragon's tail resembled a ball of crimson flame, constantly leaping.
On the other side of the secret chamber, Ning Tian, who was absorbing the medicinal power of the Qiluo Tulip, underwent a transformation that was far more magnificent than the extremely hot conditions on Wu Feng's side.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, shimmering with a seven-colored halo, floated erratically beside her. The three soul rings on the pagoda were all covered by a layer of dazzling golden light, and the flowing light made it extremely dazzling and colorful.
As time passed, the dazzling light surrounding Ning Tian gradually subsided, merging completely into the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda beside her. A halo resembling tulip petals began to appear at the base of the pagoda.
And the original Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda suddenly gained two more floors.
The nine-colored light flowed around the pagoda, making its colors extremely dazzling.
When Ning Tian woke up, she looked at the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda that had fallen into the palm of her right hand. Although she already knew the outcome, she still couldn't help but count the layers one by one.
When he actually reached the ninth floor, Ning Tian still felt that his emotions were hard to calm down.
The evolution of her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had been the long-cherished wish of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for tens of thousands of years. And now, this long-cherished wish had finally been realized once again in her life; one can only imagine her feelings.
Ning Tian's gaze involuntarily fell on Huo Yuhao, who was still protecting Wu Feng on the other side of the secret chamber, his eyes filled with excitement and happiness.
With the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, she was no longer bound by the restrictions of her family's inheritance and truly had the right to stand beside Huo Yuhao.
Sensing her presence, Huo Yuhao caught Ning Tian's trembling body almost the instant she lunged forward.
She then quietly held Ning Tian in her arms and moved a few steps away from the area where Wu Feng was, to prevent the scorching heat from burning Ning Tian in her arms.
Feeling the excited body in his arms, Huo Yuhao simply stroked her back to calm her excitement.
Ning Tian blushed and buried her head in Huo Yuhao's arms. "Thank you, Yuhao."
Before the atmosphere could become even more ambiguous, Wu Feng's voice, tinged with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, came over.
"Hey, you two, who's going to give me a piece of clothing first? My storage soul tool was just burned out."
Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian both turned their gazes toward Wu Feng.
At this moment, she was covering her upper body with her hands, her face flushed with shame and indignation, while her long dragon tail tightly wrapped around her, trying to cover the vital parts of her lower body.
Seeing Huo Yuhao staring intently at her, Wu Feng subconsciously wanted to puff out her small chest to show off her fairly well-endowed figure.
But in the end, she stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance, saying, "Young Master, quickly cover Huo Yuhao's eyes for me! No, Young Master, what are you laughing at? It's not like I wanted to become like this..."
Ning Tian pursed his lips slightly, a playful smile on his face:
"I heard everything clearly just now. I wonder what you know about my childhood, Fengmei? Why don't you tell me now? It will help me to remember."
Cold sweat instantly beaded on Wu Feng's forehead, and her heart pounded like a drum. She glanced around nervously, then awkwardly began to speak:
"I...I was just talking nonsense. In my eyes, Young Master has always been the most perfect person. We're like sisters who grew up together!"
Ning Tian, however, smiled and took Huo Yuhao's hand, taking a few steps closer to Wu Feng.
As Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao approached, Wu Feng would cover her delicate body and nervously retreat a little, until her back was pressed tightly against the cold wall, with nowhere left to go.
Wu Feng's heart was becoming increasingly flustered, completely unaware of what Ning Tian intended to do next.
Ning Tian's gaze fell on Wu Feng's dragon tail, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a meaningful smile.
"Feng Mei, it seems your martial soul has successfully evolved with Yu Hao's help."
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng nodded hurriedly, "Young Master, you are truly intelligent and perceptive; nothing can escape your notice."
"Pfft!"
Listening to Wu Feng's insincere flattery, Ning Tian finally couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.
The elegant blonde heiress watched her best friend's current predicament with great interest, clearly not intending to let her off easily.
Ning Tian tiptoed and whispered a few words in Huo Yuhao's ear.
Huo Yuhao's gaze also fell on Wu Feng, especially on his extremely long dragon tail.
Wu Feng's expression began to waver with unease. She felt that Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian's gazes towards her had become somewhat malicious. After that incident, she lost her first kiss.
What about this time?
Before Wu Feng could come up with a solution, Huo Yuhao had already quietly touched the base of Wu Feng's dragon tail.
Compared to Zhu Lu's slender and soft cat tail, or Cui Yajie's fluffy fox tail that grows from small to large, this is quite different.
The structure of the dragon's tail, which is covered with fine scales and ranges in size from large to small, is clearly more interesting at the joint.
As her fingers caressed him, a hazy mist involuntarily appeared in Wu Feng's wine-red eyes, and her red lips parted slightly, uttering a coquettish tone rarely heard before.
"No... Yuhao, you can't do this..."
Wu Feng subconsciously tried to push Huo Yuhao's hand away, but the soft and weak push was more like a playful refusal between lovers.
Meanwhile, Ning Tian would occasionally reach out his finger and curiously poke the fine, warm dragon scales on the Wufeng Dragon's tail.
Caught between two attacks, Wu Feng was completely cornered.
She felt a strange tingling sensation rush from her tailbone straight to her brain, making her feel weak and limp all over.
The dragon tail was originally a byproduct of the martial spirit's possession. At this moment, with Wu Feng's mind in disarray, he could not maintain it at all, and it immediately turned into specks of light and disappeared.
As if realizing something, Wu Feng let out a scream and threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, trying to use her body to cover her exposed beauty.
Seeing Wu Feng's intense reaction, Ning Tian twitched his lips and said helplessly, "Feng-mei, we've seen each other before when we bathed together, is it really necessary to react like this?"
Shouldn't Huo Yuhao be the only "outsider" present?
She then threw herself into his arms. What, was she trying to block my view?
Sure enough, Wu Feng has changed. She's become cunning and manipulative. The innocent Wu Feng of the past is gone forever.
Huo Yuhao, whose arm was being held too tightly by Wu Feng, quickly took out a large robe from his storage soul tool and covered Wu Feng's delicate body with it.
"Wu Feng, hurry up and put your clothes on. My clothes might be a little big for you, but they should be enough for now."
Ning Tian, who had intended to take out spare clothes from his own storage soul tool for Wu Feng, could only see Wu Feng awkwardly putting on Huo Yuhao's robes, and even seemingly unintentionally sniffing the collar a few times.
Ning Tian's eyes widened in surprise. Had he shot himself in the foot?
I should have known better than to tease her.
Huo Yuhao, seeing that Wu Feng was already dressed, said, "Alright, we should probably head out now. Uncle Ning and Grandma Wu must be getting impatient."
Wu Feng adjusted her slightly ill-fitting clothes, her lips pouting slightly. "Yuhao, don't forget. My grandma is cooking a special meal for you tonight. You absolutely have to go eat, okay?"
"well."
Huo Yuhao readily agreed, then took Ning Tian and Wu Feng's hands and led them out of the secret chamber.
At this moment, they are in the wine cellar of Wu Feng's family.
Wu Xi opened a long-sealed, exquisite treasure box, inside which lay a crystal bottle containing a wine-red liquid that looked almost empty and shimmered with a strange light.
She took out a small bottle she carried with her, then opened the crystal bottle, and a rich fragrance mixed with strong fire elemental energy immediately wafted out.
Wu Xi carefully poured the liquid from the crystal bottle into the small bottle, afraid that not a single drop would be accidentally spilled.
Looking at the bottle, which was about half full, and seemingly feeling that it was enough, Wu Xi murmured softly, "Xiao Feng, Grandma is doing all this to help you. If you don't take the initiative, how can Grandma face your deceased parents in the future?"
……
As night fell, dark clouds obscured the moon, leaving only a faint, hazy glow peeking through the sky.
Huo Yuhao, feeling a little dizzy, was lying on a soft, slightly fragrant bed, his memories still somewhat hazy.
He only remembered that at the dinner table, Wu Xijing seemed to have encouraged him to drink a few more glasses of wine.
When drinking with his elders, he naturally wouldn't deliberately use his soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol, but in theory, most of the alcohol should have no effect on him at all.
Am I drunk?
Outside the boudoir, Wu Xi was pulling a reluctant Wu Feng towards the room.
"Grandma, I really don't want to do this. Can you give me a few more years?" Wu Feng's voice was filled with obvious dejection and resistance. "Besides, if I do that, the young master won't let me off the hook."
"A few years? Hmph, don't I know your temperament too well?"
Wu Xi's tone rose a few decibels, "Siyuan and I have discussed this matter. Xiaotian will explain things properly, so you don't need to worry."
Wu Xi pulled Wu Feng and stopped in front of the door.
Seeing that his granddaughter was still somewhat timid, he earnestly advised her.
"Grandma has used all her most treasured secrets this time. When she was condensing her soul core back then, she only drank a little bit. This is a one-time opportunity. If you're not willing, there are probably quite a few women in the sect who are."
Wu Feng swallowed hard, her mouth dry. She knew exactly what Wu Xi meant by "treasure."
That was a family heirloom of the Wu clan, brewed from the essence and blood of a nearly 100,000-year-old true fire dragon—a true elixir of the Fiery Sea.
When the drug takes effect, one may briefly enter a deep meditative state, while blood flow increases, making one extremely sensitive and even unable to control oneself. The stronger one's physical potential, the better the drug's effects will be.
Wu Feng hadn't expected his grandmother to bring this out at the dinner table.
Why was she so eager? Besides Wu Xi's own desire to hold her great-grandson, it was also to better bind Huo Yuhao to her.
As for why Ning Tian wasn't allowed to go directly in.
Ning Siyuan also considered that after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the limitation that its cultivation speed would be greatly reduced after reaching the Soul Saint realm at level 70 was postponed to level 90. He was also worried that this would affect Ning Tian's future development.
Although Wu Feng's Red Dragon Martial Soul has undergone significant evolution with Huo Yuhao's help, it has not yet reached the level of ultimate fire.
In addition, since she already had feelings for Huo Yuhao, Ning Siyuan was naturally happy to go with the flow and make up for the debt of gratitude that Wu Feng's parents had made for the sect.
Seeing her granddaughter still hesitant, Wu Xi's expression darkened even further.
"It's your choice. It's okay if you don't go in. At most, the medicinal wine will make his yang energy too strong for a few days, but it will also be very beneficial to his cultivation."
After saying that, Wu Xi snorted coldly, turned around and left, seemingly unwilling to continue watching her granddaughter's embarrassing appearance.
