Chapter 897: The Enchanting Fairy

Fourth Floor.

Unlike the other three floors, this level was lavishly decorated, exuding an air of grandeur.

A long-legged woman, dressed in light clothing and barefoot, leaned against the window, holding a cup of some exquisite nectar as she gazed into the distance.

After a long while.

Her slender, jade-like hand finally set the cup down, and she spoke softly, "Come in."

The steward, who had been kneeling at the door, pushed it open and entered. Despite the woman's revealing attire and her pale, long legs—a sight that would be a deadly temptation for any man—the steward dared not even glance at her. He knelt directly before her.

"Speak, what is it?"

The woman's gaze remained fixed on the distance, her expression slightly impatient. Clearly, the steward's arrival had interrupted her.

The steward lowered his head and recounted everything that had happened on the second floor in detail.

After listening.

The woman raised an eyebrow, a playful expression crossing her face.

"Is this person cheating, or is he really that skilled..."

"Just when I was getting bored. Go, bring him up, and call two more people from the second floor. I want to see him for myself."

The woman waved her hand dismissively.

"Yes!"

The steward quickly retreated.

Not long after, Yi Feng and two others were brought to the fourth floor.

The other two were young men of noble bearing, clearly from prominent aristocratic families.

For them, being invited to the fourth floor was an exhilarating honor.

They had never expected that, upon boarding the ship and entering the second floor, they would be chosen by the steward to come to the fourth floor to play mahjong. Such an honor was not something just anyone could receive.

It was well-known that the captain of the Eighth Line was known as the Enchanting Fairy, a name that had spread throughout the entire realm.

However, due to her position as captain and her affiliation with the Linglong Pavilion, most people had only heard of her name and never seen her in person. Very few had the privilege of laying eyes on her true form.

These two young men had long been infatuated with the Enchanting Fairy. As they climbed the stairs, they began to adjust their appearance and fix their hair, eager to make a good impression.

They couldn't help but wonder if the Enchanting Fairy had taken an interest in them.

After all, there were so many cultivators on the second floor, yet they had been the ones chosen.

It must be so.

"My feat of single-handedly defeating the sea demon must have reached the Enchanting Fairy's ears."

"And my solo annihilation of a pirate crew—such a feat has surely spread across the nearby islands. The Enchanting Fairy must have heard of it and holds me in high regard."

The two young aristocrats thought along the same lines.

Standing at the entrance to the fourth floor, they were both nervous and excited, repeatedly adjusting their appearance.

At the same time, they sized each other up.

The two young men exchanged glances, clearly aware of each other's reputations and acknowledging each other's strength and fame. They felt that being invited to the fourth floor together was only fitting.

But then.

There was this other guy...

Their eyes simultaneously fell on Yi Feng, and they frowned slightly.

Completely unknown, with nothing remarkable about him except for a decent demeanor, and even his clothes were cheap. Why had he been invited to the fourth floor alongside them?

Yet Yi Feng paid them no mind.

He wasn't nervous or excited about being brought to the fourth floor. In fact, his expression was one of annoyance.

Damn it.

What the hell did this captain want with him? They weren't acquainted, and he had been doing just fine on the second floor, raking in the winnings. Now he was being dragged up here to play mahjong? It was a waste of time. If it weren't for the fact that he was on her ship and needed to reach his destination, he wouldn't have given her the time of day.

And these two idiots beside him, why were they staring at him so much?

Yi Feng yawned lazily, his disinterest starkly contrasting with the excitement of the two young aristocrats.

"Madam, they have been brought up."

The steward stood respectfully at the door, speaking in a low voice.

"Come in."

The woman in the room waved her hand lightly, and a red veil floated through the air, draping over her bare shoulders.

At the same time, the door opened automatically.

As soon as the door opened, the two young aristocrats rushed in.

When they caught sight of the Enchanting Fairy in person, their eyes widened, and they nearly drooled.

She was breathtaking.

The Enchanting Fairy truly lived up to her name.

"I am Gu Duyun from Gufeng Island, at your service, Enchanting Fairy."

"I am Feng Wuzong from Wuxing Island, at your service, Enchanting Fairy."

The two men spoke in unison, bowing respectfully to the woman before rising slowly, their smiles filled with charm and confidence.

Clearly, they were doing their best to hide their nervousness, wanting to present their best selves to the woman.

"Greetings, please take a seat."

The woman smiled faintly, gesturing slightly to the two men.

Beside them was a redwood table, already set up for mahjong.

"Thank you, Enchanting Fairy."

The two men bowed in thanks before sitting down gracefully.

At this moment, the woman turned her gaze to Yi Feng, who had just entered the room, her expression shifting slightly.

Although Yi Feng's attire was not as luxurious as the other two men's, she found his presence far more comfortable.

What surprised her even more was that this young man didn't seem particularly pleased to be on the fourth floor. In fact, he didn't seem interested in her at all.

Having met countless people, she found someone like Yi Feng to be a rare sight.

If her guess was correct, this young man was the one her steward suspected of cheating.

How interesting.

The woman's red lips curled into a playful smile.

She found herself quite intrigued by Yi Feng.

Meanwhile, Yi Feng also looked at the woman.

He was filled with disdain.

Damn it, it's a woman. What a hassle.

Sure, she's beautiful, but that's no excuse to cut into his profits.

"Might I ask for the young master's name?"

After a long pause, seeing that Yi Feng remained silent, the woman spoke first, smiling as she asked.

"Oh, Yi Feng."

Yi Feng replied indifferently.

Perhaps it was his nature, but Yi Feng's aloof demeanor immediately sparked a competitive streak in the woman.

She stepped closer to Yi Feng, tiptoeing to his side. After a moment, her slender, jade-like hand gently slid down from near his ear to his chest.

"Young Master Yi, you must be tired from your journey. As your host, it's only right that I offer you a change of clothes."

Her voice, sweet and slightly seductive, reached Yi Feng's ears, while a faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making it hard for him to maintain his composure.

This scene made the two young aristocrats shift uncomfortably in their seats.

Their eyes widened, and they nearly gritted their teeth in frustration.

Why didn't they get this kind of treatment?

"What the hell is this woman doing?"

"Completely unnecessary."

Yi Feng's eyes darted around.

"Is she trying to pull some kind of scam on me because I won too much money?"

With that thought, Yi Feng took a step back.

"No need, I'm comfortable in these clothes."

Yi Feng refused outright.

His blunt rejection left the woman's hand hanging in mid-air, her face filled with embarrassment.

But in the next moment, she smiled gracefully, effortlessly diffusing the awkwardness.

"If Young Master Yi finds it troublesome, then let it be. Please, take a seat."

Though she said this, her gaze toward Yi Feng grew even more interested.

Such an intriguing person was truly rare.
