Chapter 1192: Everything Feels Like Childs Play

Lu Shuyao gazed tenderly, pouring another cup of wine as she spoke.

"Shuyao offers another toast to you, sir."

She leaned closer, secretly activating the power of the Dao. A subtle, yin energy spread through her meridians, and a faint fragrance emanated from her delicate figure.

This was a fragment of the Heavenly Soul Technique she had learned from an ancient text.

Originally a life-saving trump card, it was used to bewitch the minds of others.

This secret technique was extremely profound.

Even she had only mastered three layers of it!

If not for desperate circumstances, Lu Shuyao would never have used this final trump card. Now, with their eyes locked and her stunning beauty as an added advantage, she was certain she would succeed!

To win over Yi Feng, she had completely set aside her status as a young lady, even willing to sacrifice her dignity.

In the eyes of this direct descendant of the Lu family, as long as her grand plan succeeded, everything was worth it. Once she regained control of the Treasure Pavilion, who would ever know of this secret?

Her resolve grew firmer.

Lu Shuyao continued to gather her yin energy, her charm intensifying.

Seeing the girl offer another toast, how could he, as a man, refuse out of politeness?

Yi Feng picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Thank you."

His reaction was calm, his expression showing little change.

Lu Shuyao was momentarily stunned.

She had used the Heavenly Soul Technique, and they were so close, yet this man remained completely unaffected, not the least bit bewitched?

If it were an ordinary person, they would already be parched and acting like a fool by now!

This gentleman truly had extraordinary composure.

Slightly amazed, Lu Shuyao leaned in closer, activating the second layer of the Heavenly Soul Technique!

Yi Feng caught a whiff of an even stronger fragrance, feeling a bit awkward.

Wow.

She must have sprayed a lot of perfume before going out to eat. It was almost suffocating.

She probably used two pounds of it.

Just because she's rich doesn't mean she needs to flaunt it like this. Doesn't she worry about suffocating others?

Could it be... she has body odor?

Ew...

As Yi Feng subtly covered his nose and observed, Lu Shuyao grew even more astonished.

The second layer of the Heavenly Soul Technique had no effect either?

Not only was she unable to bewitch him, but he seemed to be on guard, as if wary of her pleasant fragrance?

Another shock!

Lu Shuyao didn't dare to hold back any longer and immediately activated all her yin energy.

Heavenly Soul Technique, third layer!

Her eyes filled with affection as she gazed at him.

Her enchanting eyes, like flowing autumn waters, were filled with a mesmerizing allure, enough to make anyone fall for her at a glance!

Lu Shuyao subtly played with his heartstrings, her red lips curving into an intoxicating smile.

A beauty before him, surpassing all the wonders of the world.

But in Yi Feng's eyes, the scene was even more awkward than before.

What's with all the blinking?

"Uh..."

"Miss Lu, did you get something in your eye? Do you want me to blow it out for you?"

Lu Shuyao froze at his words.

The elegant room, where their eyes had just met, suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The carefully cultivated atmosphere of ambiguity vanished in an instant, leaving only her awkward expression and a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Damn it!

Not only had this man seen through her seduction technique, but he also teased her so casually, completely oblivious to her charm. What a blockhead!

How infuriating!

All her charm dissipated in an instant, leaving Lu Shuyao feeling both embarrassed and furious.

After sitting stiffly for a few moments, she felt unbearably awkward, her toes curling so hard she could have written an essay. She wanted to verbally tear into Yi Feng!

But when she met his gaze again, she saw only calm, unruffled eyes, as if they had witnessed countless ages.

There was no trace of mockery in them.

Instantly, Lu Shuyao came to her senses.

This gentleman was fond of calligraphy and painting—how could he not understand charm?

Impossible!

His teasing remark earlier must have been deliberate.

He was trying to make her back off.

Hiss...

Lu Shuyao suddenly realized.

He had effortlessly neutralized the Heavenly Soul Technique. This gentleman's methods were truly terrifying. His polite but firm rejection showed his determination to support Lu Xinlan!

Realizing the truth, Lu Shuyao was filled with resentment!

But with no more tricks up her sleeve to win him over, she had no choice but to give up on befriending him.

At the same time, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Since things had come to this, if she couldn't have someone like him, she would ensure his downfall. She couldn't let him be used by others!

A ruthless plan formed in her mind.

Lu Shuyao immediately retreated to her seat, smiling as she raised her cup.

"You jest, sir. This humble girl is fine."

"It seems you're not in the mood for wine. Perhaps this ordinary immortal brew isn't to your taste?"

With that, she called out to the door.

"Attendant, bring out my珍藏 immortal brew."

In just a few moments, a personal maid brought in a pot of exquisite wine. The wine pot was intricately carved with clouds and cranes, clearly a rare treasure. The intoxicating fragrance filled the elegant room.

Yi Feng was also curious.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss. What kind of wine is this?"

Lu Shuyao slowly stood up and personally poured a cup for Yi Feng.

"Sir, you have a discerning eye."

"This wine is brewed from the Black Island's Heavenly Spring, infused with eighteen precious ingredients. It tastes like water at first, but the aftertaste reveals an endless fragrance that lingers on the palate for three days. Please savor it slowly..."

As she introduced the wine, Lu Shuyao subtly activated a mechanism on the wine pot.

She poured herself a cup as well and raised it steadily.

"Cheers!"

Yi Feng, even more curious now, drank the cup in one go without any suspicion!

Watching the entire scene, Lu Shuyao felt a surge of triumph, her expression brightening.

This was the Ten Thousand Poisons Brew!

The refined essence of countless poisons, colorless and odorless, undetectable. Combined with the clever design of the dual-chambered wine pot, it was a masterful ploy!

Even someone like this gentleman, once he drank the Ten Thousand Poisons Brew, would surely perish.

Seeing her plan go smoothly, Lu Shuyao felt a renewed sense of control over the situation.

But after a few moments, Yi Feng remained unchanged, even smacking his lips as if savoring the taste.

"Hmm, it smells nice, but it really doesn't have much flavor. Miss Lu, could you pour me another cup to try?"

Lu Shuyao's delicate fingers tightened in shock, her mind racing.

Impossible.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Brew was supposed to kill instantly. How could it have no effect?

Could his cultivation be so profound that he could suppress the poison temporarily?

Fine.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Brew was indeed rare, but since she was determined to send him off, she might as well let him drink his fill. It would be a form of respect.

Lu Shuyao smiled as she poured another cup, her anticipation growing.

But even after finishing the entire pot, Yi Feng's complexion remained rosy.

Finally, Lu Shuyao couldn't sit still anymore!

She grabbed the wine pot and examined it closely, her eyes trembling with disbelief.

The pot was empty...

This gentleman had truly drunk an entire pot of the Ten Thousand Poisons Brew and remained unharmed. How terrifying was his cultivation?

Just who was he?!

Lu Shuyao was utterly shaken, standing stiffly by the table.

Yi Feng, noticing her distress, scratched his nose awkwardly.

"Miss Lu, please don't take offense. This wine really doesn't have much flavor, so I accidentally drank too much. I hope you can forgive me."

No flavor?

Are you seriously critiquing the wine now?!

Faced with such a humblebrag, Lu Shuyao immediately understood that the poison wine of that level had no effect on him at all!

Fine, fine!

His cultivation was indeed extraordinary!

In the entire Black Island, no one else could have such confidence!

Soft methods didn't work, and hard methods failed too?

She refused to believe he had no weaknesses!

Even as she gritted her teeth in frustration, Lu Shuyao forced a smile and replied politely.

"Sir, you are truly amusing..."

"How could this humble girl begrudge a little wine? Since you don't seem to enjoy drinking, why not try some of the island's delicacies?"

With another clap of her hands, a dish of ice-cold sashimi was brought into the room.

"Please."

Lu Shuyao's enthusiasm remained undimmed, her confidence unshaken.

This ice-carved snowfish was a rare delicacy, capable of aiding in the comprehension of the Dao. Who could resist such a treasure? Hidden within it was the Heart-Devouring Gu, a gu worm so small and colorless that only the one who planted it could detect it!

Without anyone noticing, as soon as someone took a bite, the Heart-Devouring Gu would enter their body, controlling them and turning them into a mindless puppet, destined to exhaust their cultivation and perish!

Under Lu Shuyao's expectant gaze, Yi Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Sashimi again?

Don't people in the East Sea have any sense of hygiene? There's clearly a parasite on that slice of fish!

Noticing Yi Feng's hesitation, Lu Shuyao grew anxious and couldn't help but urge him.

"Sir, please, help yourself."

Faced with her insistence, Yi Feng felt a bit helpless. He wasn't particularly fond of sashimi, and the parasite made it even less appealing.

But he didn't want to offend her.

Picking up his chopsticks, he directly plucked out the parasite!

Instantly, Lu Shuyao's delicate frame trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Impossible...

This is absolutely impossible!

The Heart-Devouring Gu worm is formless and colorless. How could someone spot it at a glance and even pick it out?

An unprecedented shock washed over her!

Caught red-handed, Lu Shuyao's face turned pale with fear!

Seeing her nervousness, Yi Feng felt compelled to explain patiently.

"Miss Lu, eating sashimi isn't hygienic. This is a parasite!"

"Let me tell you, most freshwater fish have parasites. If you eat something like this, you'll definitely..."

As he went on with his detailed explanation, Lu Shuyao didn't hear a single word.

All she could think was how terrifying this man was. His cultivation was beyond imagination, and his knowledge and insight had reached an unfathomable level, as if he were an ancient legend who had walked through the river of time.

In his presence, all her schemes felt like child's play, and she was nothing more than a child.

Even when he saw through everything, he didn't bother to expose her or take action against her.

This intuition was absurd, but it continuously shook the young lady's mind, leaving her unable to regain her composure for a long time!

"Do you understand?"

His gentle voice echoed like morning bells and evening drums.

Only then did Lu Shuyao snap out of it, quickly bowing in agreement.

"Sir, please forgive me. This humble girl understands..."

She sat down again, her heart filled with even more awe. No matter what Yi Feng asked, she answered truthfully and thoroughly.

After several rounds of wine, Yi Feng finally left, still seemingly unsatisfied. Only then did Lu Shuyao vent her frustration, slamming the table and gritting her teeth.

"Damn it!"

"How did Lu Xinlan manage to gain the support of such a powerful figure? What price did she pay?!"

Furious and with nowhere to direct her anger, the young lady could only curse Lu Xinlan in her heart, feeling utterly humiliated.

In her mind, a deep-seated fear and resentment toward Yi Feng had taken root!
