After the battles at the City Lord Mansion ceased, Tang Feng also closed up his booth.

Currently, Tang Feng did not wish to conceal those powers, and since he had changed his appearance before, no one knew it was him who activated the transmission array when he returned to the inn.

As a result, when those powerful forces arrived, they couldn't find anyone.

They were absolutely furious.

And ordered someone to find Tang Feng.

Of course, if Tang Feng did not come out on his own initiative, how could they possibly find him?

After half of the city residents evacuated, the whole city became empty.

At this moment, everyone was on edge, not knowing when the defense shield would break.

Most of these people were ordinary city residents, but even in the Imperial City, being ordinary was far better than in other cities.

In the world of cultivation, sympathy is never in short supply, but who knows which day it might cost one's life.

Tang Feng had seen much and experienced much. However, he had a pair of Divine Eyes, capable of discerning the good and the bad at a glance.

But he wouldn't use it every time he was bored.

Upon returning to the inn entrance, he saw the maid welcoming him.

"Young Master, the lady has awakened, she has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Prepare some light dishes and bring them up," Tang Feng said as he went up to the second floor and entered one of the guest rooms.

Upon hearing the sound, the woman inside turned her head, and upon seeing Tang Feng, her face showed a hint of shyness. Although she had told herself many times to remain calm, the moment of meeting was still nerve-wracking.

Especially knowing that the man before her had witnessed her most secretive side, she couldn't help but tremble.

"What's wrong, not feeling well?" Tang Feng couldn't help but smile upon seeing her like this.

"No, I'm fine, thank you, sir."

"Just a small favor, but your illness is quite tricky to treat."

"No worries, I'm used to it. No wait, sir, are you saying my illness can be cured?"

"It can be cured, who said it can't be?"

"But it's a terminal illness."

"In my hands, there's no such thing as a terminal illness," Tang Feng replied with a smile.

"Please, sir, save me." Upon hearing she could live, the woman naturally didn't want to die.

"I wish to save you, but unfortunately, I'm also helpless now."

"Why?"

"Because it requires too many resources, are you able to afford it?"

"Can you tell me what resources are needed?" the woman asked.

Tang Feng listed some medicinal herbs, all of which must be over ten million years old.

Hearing this, the woman fell silent for a while, then asked Tang Feng to draw up a list; she would strive nonetheless.

"Sir, how much time do I have left?"

"Living for a hundred years is no problem."

"Then this time is enough." The woman's eyes sparkled, the drive to survive is the strongest power in the world, without exception.

Such belief can overturn the heavens and the earth.

"As long as you find all the herbs on the list, I can refine an Elixir for you."

"Yes, I will definitely find them, sir, how shall I address you?"

"Tang Feng, and you, my lady?"

"Dugu Piaoxue."

"A good name, the surname Dugu is rare, it must belong to a very ancient clan, right?" Tang Feng asked.

"Yes, our ancestors originated in the Ancient Times, but unfortunately the descendants have been dwindling." Dugu Piaoxue sighed slightly.

"Every clan is similar, those who survive and thrive are extraordinary people, all truly remarkable."

"Yes, what we humans care most about is heritage, as long as the heritage is there, strong people can emerge generation after generation," Tang Feng remarked.

"Yes, without heritage, a family would vanish in the river of history after a few generations.

A family like the Dugu Family must have even more terrifying foundations.

"By the way, didn't your family evacuate before the war?"

"No, our Dugu Family only inherits martial arts and commerce, not politics," Dugu Piaoxue said.

"No wonder, the smartest approach."

"It's okay." Hearing Tang Feng's praise, she was a little happy, but thinking of herself as a solitary widow, her mood turned sour again.

"My lady, I will begin acupuncture now, if you're afraid, just close your eyes."

"Okay." Dugu Piaoxue's face turned crimson, and she quietly closed her eyes.

Tang Feng began the acupuncture.

She felt nothing during the acupuncture, but could feel it when the needles were removed.

Softly and ticklish, like a gentle breeze, indescribable.

She hummed intermittently with pleasant sounds.

She found her ears burning, unable to hold back.

Tang Feng found himself slightly moved by her shy appearance, already beautiful, and when emotional, amazingly captivating.

It was with great effort that Tang Feng finally withdrew all the needles.

"Pardon me, if I have offended."

"No, no issue." Dugu Piaoxue's voice was soft and delicate, quite pleasing.

Very melodious.

Tang Feng felt a slight stirring in his heart as he looked at Dugu Piaoxue.

When Dugu Piaoxue turned her head, she happened to meet Tang Feng's intense gaze, and the blush that had faded returned to her cheeks instantly.

The two's gazes locked, the ripples growing stronger, the sound of breathing clear.

Dugu Piaoxue couldn't bear it any longer, feeling her heart stir.

Her complexion turned pale from embarrassment.

Tang Feng immediately placed his hand over her heart.

Of course, it was with the purest intentions.

He just didn't expect that in the process, her physique was such that he inadvertently touched a certain area, leaving Dugu Piaoxue's mind blank.

"Young Master, may I come in?" came a voice from the door.

"Ahem! Apologies, I lost my composure, are you feeling better?" Tang Feng withdrew his hand when he heard the maid's voice.

"Much better, thank you."

Dugu Piaoxue felt that when Tang Feng placed his hand there, a warm flow nourished her heart, and the sharp pain quickly vanished.

A sense of indescribable joy floated from beneath.

As if love had inexplicably come knocking.

I am not worthy of him.

Dugu Piaoxue's eyes dimmed, but Tang Feng noticed.

Thus, almost by instinct, he held her hand, "Don't dwell too much, remember that with your illness, it's important to avoid worries and maintain a good mood every day."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Dugu Piaoxue did not struggle, allowing Tang Feng to hold her hand, as a flood of happy energy filled her instantly.

Then the maid entered carrying light dishes.

"Milady, your complexion is much better." The maid was delighted, oblivious that it was due to embarrassment.

Wow!

Ma'am, why are your hands together?

the maid asked, astonished.

"Girl, young master Tang is healing me, put the dishes down and leave first."

"Alright, ma'am." The maid left in confusion, feeling something was amiss.

"Mr. Tang, aren't you ready to let go?" Dugu, with beautiful eyes, gave Tang Feng a playful glance, a look full of electric charm.

Tang Feng's heart quivered even more; perhaps it was because vulnerable women stirred his heart more; such a woman made him want to protect. The more contact, the more he couldn't help himself, so not only did he not loosen his grip, but he tightened it slightly, "I don't plan to let go anymore, what should I do?"

"Mr. Tang, I am a widow."

"I don't mind, it's just that you moved my heart at this moment, why don't we try and see how it goes," Tang Feng said jokingly with a smile.

"I'll go with your decision," said Guxing Piaoxue.
