The palace where Su Rou resided wasn't particularly large, but it was exquisite. The interior decorations were unique in style and carried an air of grandeur. Moreover, a fragrant scent permeated the entire palace — one could tell at a glance that this was a young lady's dwelling.
"Master Chu Feng, please have some tea. The Second Miss specifically instructed me to prepare this for you — a fine fragrant tea." A maidservant presented a pot of aromatic tea.
"Thank you!"
At the banquet, Chu Feng had eaten quite a bit of food and drunk quite a lot of wine. Now, this cup of fragrant tea was exactly what he needed. The aroma of the tea was especially peculiar — it practically radiated an indescribable allure.
"Ha~ What good tea."
Chu Feng downed an entire cup in a single gulp. Feeling that it hadn't quenched his thirst, he simply picked up the teapot and poured it straight into his mouth. Only after draining the entire pot did he wipe his lips with lingering satisfaction and ask, "Where is the Second Miss right now?"
"The Second Miss said she's waiting for you on the top floor," the maidservant replied with a smile.
"Oh, I'm supposed to go up there?" Chu Feng found this somewhat odd. Why would she invite him over but not come to receive him in person, instead expecting him to go find her?
But thinking it over carefully, Chu Feng could understand. Even though he was currently a guest of the Su family, Su Rou was an elder of the Azure Dragon Sect. In terms of both status and strength, she stood above him. It was only natural for him to be the one to seek her out.
With that thought, Chu Feng headed upstairs. The maidservant watched him go with a strange smile, closed the palace doors, and quietly slipped away.
The palace had five stories. Chu Feng ascended at a leisurely pace. When he reached the second floor, he noticed something felt off with his body — it was growing feverishly hot, and a surge of wicked fire was rising from below. He glanced down and saw he had already pitched a tent.
"What the — what's going on?!" Chu Feng was left speechless. He hurriedly straightened his robe to conceal his reaction. If Su Rou saw this, she would definitely think of him as a pervert.
Chu Feng continued upward. But by the time he reached the third floor, the swelling below only intensified. It made him extremely uncomfortable. While it wasn't unusual for a young man in the prime of life to stand at attention now and then, this kind of forceful arousal was something he'd never experienced before.
"Damn it, something's not right. Could it be that there was some kind of potent tonic in the feast tonight that triggered my... vigor?"
Chu Feng realized something was wrong. This was not his normal state. His neck was flushed red and thick, the blood inside him was boiling as if an invisible fire had ignited his entire body.
This invisible fire was the legendary wicked fire — a force that filled one's mind with desire, driving one toward intimate acts. If not released, it would harm the body.
"Damn. Looks like you really can't just eat random things."
Chu Feng felt troubled. He hurriedly circulated the Spiritual Energy within his body to suppress the wicked fire. He had to admit, the power of Spiritual Energy was truly wondrous — once he circulated it, it did produce some effect.
Feeling that his boiling desire had come under control, he finally dared to continue upward. But when Chu Feng reached the fourth floor, a wave of fragrance suddenly drifted down from the fifth floor.
It was the scent of some kind of flower — enchanting and intoxicating. Chu Feng was involuntarily drawn in, and his pace quickened as he climbed higher. But the moment he set foot on the fifth floor, Chu Feng heard the sound of splashing water, and a misty haze drifted toward him.
In that instant, Chu Feng's mind went into a jumble. He subconsciously thought of a certain possibility. Though this was his first time experiencing such a scene, no matter how he looked at it, it strongly resembled a place where a woman was bathing.
