A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World

Concubine Zhao’s purple eyes showed a hint of surprise.

”Your grandfather warned you about him?” She gently set down her teacup, her voice carrying a trace of curiosity. ”That is quite unusual. What kind of person is this Envoy that even Grand Tutor Wei would specially warn you about?”

Concubine Wei let out a soft, melodious chuckle.

Her fox-like grey eyes followed Li Feng’s figure with clear interest as he walked with Eunuch Peng.

”Grandfather only said a few words: ’That young man is not simple. Do not provoke him easily, and do not trust him completely.’ He rarely gives such vague yet serious warnings.”

She leaned back slightly, her voluptuous chest rising proudly against her imperial robes as she smiled meaningfully.

”But looking at him now... he does seem quite special. That calm and humble appearance... yet I can tell those eyes hide a deep, sharp light and hidden intentions.”

Concubine Zhao gently nodded, her expression turning a little more serious.

”Indeed, you are always sharp when judging people’s nature... And he is heading in the direction of Concubine Zi? Could he be coming to check on her condition?”

Concubine Wei’s smile deepened with a hint of playfulness.

”Perhaps. Or maybe he has other intentions. Either way, this inner harem has been too quiet lately. It might be interesting to see what this young envoy stirs up.”

She took another sip of tea, her fox-like eyes narrowing slightly in amusement as she tried to warn her kind-hearted best friend.

”Zhao’er, you’ve always been too gentle and trusting, so if he happens to come into contact with you... you should be careful. A man who can make even my grandfather cautious is rarely a ’good’ person.”

At those words, Concubine Zhao gave a soft, helpless sigh at her friend’s caution.

Seeing this, Concubine Wei shook her head with a smile and decided to change the topic.

”Zhao’er, how has the Ninth Prince been doing lately? Has he learned how to walk yet?”

”Bah! What are you even saying!”

Concubine Zhao couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh, her gentle face showing a hint of motherly warmth.

”He is only two months old. How could he possibly walk already? You really love teasing me.”

”Oh? I thought a baby with such talent and heavenly fate could at least do that much,” Concubine Wei replied with a playful smile.

Just as they were chatting and teasing each other, both women’s eyes accidentally met the Envoy’s gaze.

Li Feng, who was walking with Eunuch Peng, suddenly felt two distinct gazes land on him.

His sharp senses immediately picked up the attention.

He turned his head naturally toward the source, and met the eyes of the two breathtaking mature beauties seated in the pavilion.

For a brief moment, time seemed to slow as Li Feng’s gaze swept over them, and he couldn’t help but feel his eyes light up with deep appreciation.

’...Magnificent.’

Both women possessed completely different yet equally lethal types of beauty.

One was like a bewitching fox spirit, the other like a dignified moon goddess.

Together, they formed a picture so enchanting that even the surrounding spiritual flowers seemed to pale in comparison.

Li Feng inwardly cursed the Emperor for enjoying such luxury.

Especially the one with silver-white hair and the alluring red-and-black robes that barely contained her voluptuous figure... his sharp, experienced eyes could tell she was the real deal, more than enough to make any man’s blood boil.

On the surface, however, he maintained his humble and polite facade perfectly.

He cupped his fists respectfully toward the pavilion and gave a warm, sincere smile.

Eunuch Peng, who was leading the way, noticed Li Feng’s action and quickly turned his head.

Seeing the two women watching from afar, he leaned closer and whispered respectfully,

”Envoy Li, the lady with the silver-white hair is Concubine Wei, one of the latest and rising favorites in the inner harem palace. And the one with the purple-black hair and purple eyes is Concubine Zhao. She used to be one of the Emperor’s most favored consorts, especially after she just gave birth to the Ninth Prince, who is said to possess great talent and heavenly fortune.”

Li Feng’s steps slowed slightly, as he kept his voice low and asked with mild curiosity, ”Why did you call Concubine Wei one of the ’latest’?”

Eunuch Peng glanced around cautiously before replying in a hushed tone,

”Because she only officially became a consort a few months ago. Her background is quite special, and she quickly caught the Emperor’s attention. However... it’s truly a pity. Right after she entered the inner harem, His Majesty suddenly fell gravely ill, so she hasn’t even had much chance to enjoy her new status.”

At those words, Li Feng nodded thoughtfully, a meaningful glint flashing in his eyes.

But then he couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised when looking at Concubine Zhao.

Such a graceful and elegant woman... he truly hadn’t expected her to already be a mother who had given birth to the Ninth Prince.

’She looks so young and radiant... If I didn’t know better, I would have thought she was still in her prime without having gone through childbirth. No wonder she was the Emperor’s favorite...’

’A top-grade mature beauty who can still maintain such charm after giving birth... truly remarkable.’

”Ahem...”

Eunuch Peng coughed lightly, discreetly pulling Li Feng out of his daydream.

The chubby eunuch leaned closer and whispered with a hint of nervousness,

”Envoy Li, we will soon arrive at the residence of Concubine Zi. Please be careful with your words and actions inside. Although Concubine Zi is gentle, the palace maids and senior eunuchs serving her are quite protective.”

Li Feng quickly composed himself and gave a small, polite nod.

”I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Peng.”

After walking a while longer, they finally arrived at a beautiful and elegant courtyard.

The space was serene and exquisitely designed, featuring a large lotus pond filled with blooming spiritual lotuses that emitted a calming fragrance.

Soft spiritual mist drifted around the hall, and several palace maids moved about quietly.

The entire place gave off a refined, noble, yet slightly melancholic atmosphere... likely due to their mistress’s current illness.

As they approached the main entrance, two senior palace maids stepped forward with solemn expressions.

One of them recognized Eunuch Peng and frowned slightly upon seeing the unfamiliar young man beside him.

”Eunuch Peng, who is this? Men are not permitted to enter without prior permission, especially during the Concubine’s period of poor health.”

Eunuch Peng hurriedly explained the situation once again, mentioning the golden imperial token and the Regent Empress’s orders.

Li Feng stood calmly behind him, his expression humble and respectful.

However, his spiritual sense had already spread outward and to his surprise...

...a powerful blocking formation was preventing his senses from penetrating the building.
