Chapter 458 Elder Song, it's not good to be a liar.
An hour later.
"Knock knock knock~"
Three knocks on the door, like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the tenderness filling the room.
Xia Ning's body stiffened slightly, and she quickly pulled away from Lin Feng's embrace and got out of bed.
She quickly straightened her clothes, tidied her hair, took a deep breath, and went over to unlock the door.
The door opened a crack, and dim light leaked out, illuminating a gentle yet somewhat aloof face outside.
Song Yao.
Xia Ning stepped aside to let her in, then closed the door behind her.
Song Yao stepped over the threshold, her gaze quickly sweeping around the room before landing on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had already sat up in bed, his collar slightly open, his expression as calm and composed as ever, as if nothing had just happened.
Song Yao's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, then she narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Ugh—"
She suddenly took two steps closer, her nose twitching slightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Feng's lips, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes.
Have you ever drunk milk?
Xia Ning's mind went blank.
She subconsciously looked at the corner of Lin Feng's lips and, sure enough, there was still a faint white mark left.
Is Song Yao born in the Year of the Dog? She can catch even the slightest clue!
Xia Ning's face flushed uncontrollably, turning red all the way from her ears to the base of her neck.
"He..." Xia Ning opened her mouth, but the sound got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't squeeze out a single word.
Lin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids. He raised his hand with a normal expression and lightly traced a line in the air with his fingertips.
A bottle of blueberry yogurt appeared out of thin air in his palm.
He casually handed it over: "That's right, Elder Song, please try this."
Song Yao's eyes lit up instantly.
She snatched the yogurt in one swift motion, a far cry from the composure expected of an elder.
With a "click," the lid was unscrewed, and a sweet and sour fruity aroma mixed with the scent of milk wafted out.
Song Yao took a deep breath, revealing a "Wow, this smells so good" expression, then tilted her head back and gulped down two large mouthfuls.
Then--
"Delicious!!!"
Song Yao's eyes widened, as if stars were exploding in her pupils.
She looked down at the yogurt bottle in her hand, then tilted her head back and took a swig.
"I've lived half my life, and I've never tasted such delicious yogurt before!"
She took another sip, and a feeling of satisfied joy emanated from her feet to her head.
After finishing the last sip, she licked her lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction, looked down at the empty yogurt bottle, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
Then, she raised her head and looked intently at Lin Feng.
The next moment, she strode forward and slapped Lin Feng on the shoulder.
With a crisp, loud "snap," it rang out.
Song Yao didn't pull her hand back; instead, she pressed it down harder.
"Kid, why don't you become my apprentice? I'll teach you all my skills without holding anything back!"
Her voice was loud and clear, and the light in her eyes was sincere and intense: "As long as—you give me some food every now and then!"
Xia Ning's forehead creased with a few black lines: "Elder Song, Lin Feng is human. Without the support of demonic power, he can't learn your advanced spells."
Song Yao's expression visibly fell, her lips slightly pouting, like a child whose candied hawthorn had been snatched away.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly took out another bottle of mango-flavored yogurt from his storage space and handed it over.
Song Yao readily accepted it, no longer dwelling on the matter of taking on a disciple. Her expression turned serious, and she asked:
"By the way, when exactly do we start our operation?"
Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "I have arranged for bats to keep watch around the forbidden area and at the Lonely Master's villa. They will come to report any disturbances."
"It would be better if he went to the forbidden area on his own initiative."
"Because he will either use his own essence and blood to nourish the sacred embryo, or he will consume his source power to heal the sacred embryo—either way, it will weaken him."
Upon hearing this, Song Yao glanced at Lin Feng sideways:
"As expected of the most intelligent chosen one in history, you deserve this S-rank clear!"
Just then, a very faint fluttering sound came from the windowsill.
The bats are back!
Lin Feng immediately walked to the window and pushed open half of the wooden window.
He asked softly, "What's going on?"
The bat squeaked twice:
"Boss, Master Ji has come out of his villa and is heading towards the forbidden area."
Lin Feng nodded, then took out a small, crystal-clear cup of honey from his personal space and handed it to the bat.
The bat immediately plunged its head into the cup and began to happily slurp, mumbling between sips, "Thanks, boss!"
Song Yao's gaze involuntarily fell on the cup of honey, she secretly swallowed, her eyes filled with longing.
Lin Feng caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
He didn't expose her, and instead took out a cup of honey from his spatial storage, handing it to Song Yao without making a sound.
Song Yao's eyes lit up. She reached out and took it, then lowered her head to smell it, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
"Good lad, you're getting the hang of it."
Seeing this, Xia Ning immediately tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve and said in a soft, coquettish tone, "Honey, I want some too."
Lin Feng smiled indulgently, then took out a cup of honey syrup, picked up a small spoon, scooped it up, and gently brought it to Xia Ning's lips, feeding her with his own hands.
The two looked at each other with tender affection, their eyes locked in a loving embrace.
Watching from the side, Song Yao curled her lip and said, "Tsk tsk, the stench of this romance is simply unbearable."
Xia Ning swallowed the honey and replied with a smile:
"Elder Song, don't you know? The taste of love is a hundred times sweeter than honey."
Song Yao paused slightly in her hand holding the cup.
She slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Lin Feng's face. She looked him up and down, then stared intently at him, a cryptic smile slowly forming at the corners of her lips.
"Really? Then...how about I try some too?"
The air suddenly froze.
Xia Ning jolted awake, her body reacting faster than her mind—
She suddenly stepped to the side, blocking Lin Feng's path with her arms outstretched like a protective hen, her eyes wide open:
"Elder Song! That's not fair! It's not right to knowingly accept being the third party!"
Song Yao chuckled at her flustered appearance and waved her hand dismissively.
"Tch—wise men don't fall in love. I'm not into dating. I was just teasing you."
Xia Ning: "..."
About forty minutes later, a flapping sound came from the windowsill again.
The second bat flew back and landed on the windowsill:
"Boss, the Lord of Silence has emerged from the forbidden area!"
Lin Feng immediately informed the two of this message.
Song Yao jumped up from her chair, lifting the hem of her robe:
"I'll go find the Lord of Silence right now."
Xia Ning nodded and quickly said, "There's a small grove of trees on the west side of the temple. That's where Zi Tong was found."
Song Yao nodded.
Xia Ning took Lin Feng's hand: "I'll take Lin Feng there now."
Lin Feng did not immediately take a step, but turned and walked to the windowsill, and solemnly instructed the bat that had just delivered the message:
"Please fly to dormitory number 56 immediately. There's a towel hanging on the window. Just land on the windowsill, and the people inside will give you honey."
"Understood, boss!"
The bat spread its wings and silently disappeared into the soft moonlight...
