Chapter 660: Chapter 660: The Final Step of Heaven’s Guidance (3)
Even without seeing it directly, its sheer size was enough to make her question whether that was really something a human man could have... or if he was secretly part donkey.
’Just how is a young man supposed to have something like that...?!’
Meng Wan’s cheeks grew even hotter.
Strangely, she found herself unable to look away.
One hand drifted to her lower abdomen, and an embarrassing thought crept into her mind.
’Did that really... fit inside me?’
But when she felt a strange sensation in her lower abdomen, she hurriedly shook her head, trying to push the thought away.
Meanwhile, Li Feng continued looking away, his expression one of embarrassment and discomfort.
"Matriarch Meng, I think we should put this matter behind us for now."
His voice was quiet, almost hesitant, but he continued.
"It seems that the aphrodisiac smoke was truly extraordinary. Even after I helped you, some of its effects must have transferred to me."
He gave an awkward smile and shifted slightly beneath the sheets.
"Although it’s still quite painful right now, I’ll be fine after some rest. You don’t need to worry about me."
Hearing his words, Meng Wan finally snapped out of her thoughts.
She looked at him again, noticing how he still seemed reluctant to meet her eyes.
Her heart tightened.
’He’s even trying to end the conversation so I won’t feel more guilty...’
But the more she thought about it, the worse she felt.
Meng Wan bit her lower lip, her expression growing increasingly conflicted.
How could she possibly let him suffer in silence after everything that had happened?
Even if the aphrodisiac smoke was responsible, she was still the one who had lost control.
As the Matriarch of the Meng Family, she had always upheld her dignity and principles.
She couldn’t simply walk away after causing such trouble for a young man who had helped her.
Then she took a deep breath, her cheeks faintly flushed as she struggled to find the right words.
"Righteous Sword... I know you don’t want to make things difficult for me, but..."
Her gaze briefly wandered toward the sheets covering his lower body before quickly darting away.
"...you don’t have to endure this alone."
Li Feng paused as he understood what she was implying.
He turned to look at her, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes before he quickly concealed it.
’Oh? That easy?’
He had expected to put on a much longer performance, perhaps dropping a few more hints and pretending to be even more pitiful before Meng Wan finally offered to make it up to him.
After all, she was the dignified Matriarch of the Meng Family.
Li Feng had assumed that convincing someone of her status to take this step would require considerably more effort.
So now, after seeing her offer herself so fast, Li Feng couldn’t help feeling a little astonished.
What he didn’t know was that Meng Wan was nothing like all of the cold and calculating woman he had encountered before.
Despite her high position, she was not someone who would easily overlook a favor, let alone leave a debt of gratitude unpaid.
As the Matriarch of the Meng Family, she had spent over a century upholding her dignity and principles.
To her, reputation was important, but so were personal integrity and the obligations one owed to others.
Some might even call her naive for holding on to such principles so firmly, especially in the cultivation world, where people often placed their own interests above everything else.
However, Meng Wan had never seen it that way.
To her, repaying kindness and keeping one’s word were not signs of weakness.
They were simply things a person ought to do.
After all, what was the point of cultivating for centuries and gaining power and status if one eventually abandoned the very principles that defined them?
Over the years, she had witnessed far too many cultivators become corrupted by greed and ambition.
Some would betray their closest companions for a few cultivation resources, while others would gladly trample over anyone who stood in their way.
Meng Wan had no desire to become one of them.
But she understood that the world was far from fair, and she was certainly not foolish enough to trust everyone she met.
As the Matriarch of the Meng Family, she could be just as shrewd as anyone else when the situation demanded it.
But there were certain lines she refused to cross.
And when someone showed her genuine kindness, she believed it was only right to return it in kind.
Especially when it came to Li Feng.
He had helped her out of a dangerous situation at the auction house, then gone out of his way to help her overcome the effects of the aphrodisiac.
And judging by the numerous scratches she had left on his body, she couldn’t help wondering just how much he had suffered in the process.
Yet even after all that, he had still tried to protect her reputation rather than blame her for what had happened.
In Meng Wan’s eyes, this was no longer simply a matter of making amends.
It was a debt she could not allow herself to leave unsettled.
And if making things right required a personal sacrifice, then so be it.
However, there was... another small yet important reason she found it so difficult to turn him down.
...Secretly, Meng Wan had always admired men with a strong sense of righteousness.
After living for over a century and witnessing countless cultivators pursue power, status, and personal gain, she had grown tired of those who spoke of virtue but abandoned their principles whenever it suited them.
Li Feng, on the other hand, seemed to embody the very qualities she admired.
He had helped her without asking for anything in return and had even tried to protect her reputation despite his own predicament.
At least, that was how Meng Wan saw it.
She waited for Li Feng’s response, the tips of her ears turning faintly red as she avoided his gaze.
Strangely, her heart was beating faster than it ever had before.
’Why am I so nervous? It’s not as though I’m doing anything wrong... Yes, I just want to help him, that’s all. After all, he’s my benefactor!’
But to her surprise, Li Feng bit his lip, looking as though he were struggling with an extremely difficult decision.
After a moment, he slowly shook his head.
"...There’s no need for that. What happened was an accident, and I don’t intend to hold you responsible."
He paused before adding in a firm, almost solemn voice, "A true man of the righteous path doesn’t take advantage of someone else’s misfortune."
With that, he stood up and adjusted the sheet around his waist, deliberately putting some distance between them.
However, just as Li Feng was preparing to turn away with what he hoped was a suitably dignified expression, Meng Wan suddenly rose from the bed.
"Wait!"
Before he could say anything, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him from behind.
Li Feng stiffened as he felt her super soft ample breasts pressing against his back, especially those familiar hardened beads.
"Matriarch Meng...?"
