Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Great Minds Think Alike
Li Feng stiffened as he felt her super soft ample breasts pressing against his back, especially those familiar hardened beads.
"Matriarch Meng...?"
His voice came out a little strained as he gently tried to pry her arms loose.
However, Meng Wan lowered her head, resting her cheek against his back, and tightened her embrace even further.
"Please don’t make this any harder for me," she whispered. "I know you don’t want to hold me responsible, but that doesn’t mean I can simply pretend nothing happened."
"..."
Sensing his hesitation, Meng Wan gently held his hand a little tighter before speaking again, her voice soft but filled with conviction.
"For most of my life, I’ve met countless cultivators who speak of righteousness and honor. Yet when faced with temptation, how many of them would truly uphold those principles?"
She paused, her cheeks still faintly red.
"But you did."
Her voice grew quieter.
"Even after what happened, you still thought about protecting my reputation. You could have demanded anything from me, yet you chose to let the matter go."
Meng Wan lowered her gaze, a complicated expression crossing her face.
"I may be the Matriarch of the Meng Family, but I’m still a person who knows what it means to owe someone a debt of gratitude."
She gently tightened her arms around him again.
"So please... let me make this right. Even if you don’t want anything in return, I need to do this for my own peace of mind."
Li Feng remained silent.
For a brief moment, his expression seemed to waver.
Seeing the slight wavering in Li Feng’s expression, Meng Wan took it as a sign that her words had finally reached him.
She loosened her embrace and stepped around to face him, her eyes meeting his with newfound determination.
"Righteous Sword, I know you may think this is unnecessary, but please understand something."
She took a small breath.
"I’ve lived for over a century. In that time, I’ve seen countless people make promises they never intended to keep. I’ve also seen far too many cultivators abandon their principles the moment doing so benefits them."
Her expression softened.
"That’s why I value someone who can remain true to his principles, even when no one is watching."
She paused, her gaze lingering on him.
"And you... you’ve shown me exactly that."
Li Feng’s lips parted slightly, but no words came out.
Meng Wan took his silence as encouragement and continued.
"So please, don’t refuse me simply because you believe you haven’t done anything deserving of repayment. Whether or not you think it’s necessary, this is something I must do."
Her cheeks reddened slightly as she lowered her eyes.
"Besides... if you continue to treat this matter as though it means nothing, how am I supposed to face you in the future?"
She bit her lip, gathering her courage before looking up at him again.
"I don’t want you to think that the Matriarch of the Meng Family is someone who accepts another person’s kindness without ever returning it!"
Then her gaze and voice softened.
"Please, let me do this much for you... Not as the Matriarch of the Meng Family, but as someone who genuinely believes in your ideals of righteousness."
Li Feng stared at her for a moment, his expression growing increasingly complicated, as though her words had truly touched something deep within his heart.
"Matriarch Meng..."
His voice trembled.
He bit his lip, lowering his head as tears began to well up in his eyes.
"Such kind words...! To think that someone like you would say such things to someone like me..."
He tightened his grip on her hand, looking as though he could barely contain his emotions.
"You are truly the first person I’ve met who values righteousness so deeply..."
Then Li Feng’s voice faltered, and he took a shaky breath.
"Honestly, I had almost forgotten that there were still people in this world who genuinely upheld the righteous path."
He raised his tearful eyes to meet hers.
"But you... you truly understand what righteousness means. You aren’t simply talking about gratitude or repaying a favor. You’re willing to stand by your principles even when no one is forcing you to."
"To meet someone who possesses such admirable qualities... someone who genuinely embodies the virtues I have always believed in..."
His lips quivered., then bit his lip again.
"I-I don’t even know what to say!"
With that, tears began rolling down Li Feng’s cheeks as he cried as though he had finally found someone who shared his ideals.
Meng Wan was taken aback at the sight.
She had expected Li Feng to remain reluctant, perhaps even to refuse her again.
She certainly hadn’t expected her words to move him so deeply.
Almost swept up in the atmosphere herself, Meng Wan smiled warmly, looking at Li Feng with the affectionate gaze of a mother looking at her child.
She gently clasped his hand in return.
And so, a rather strange scene began to unfold.
A large, tall man was crying while leaning forward, his broad shoulders trembling as though he had just experienced the most moving moment of his life.
...Meanwhile, a noticeable tent had formed around his waist, creating a rather strange contrast with his otherwise heartfelt display of emotion.
Before him stood a beautiful, naked woman who gently patted his hand, her expression filled with warmth and sympathy as she tried to soothe him.
"All right, Young Master Li. There’s no need to cry so much."
Meng Wan spoke softly, completely absorbed in the touching moment as she completely forgot that she was completely naked.
"To find someone who shares your ideals is truly a blessing. You needn’t feel so overwhelmed."
Li Feng nodded, his face still wet with tears.
"Matriarch Meng...!"
His voice cracked as he looked at her with deep sincerity.
"You really are a wonderful person!"
"You have truly touched my heart. People like you are the reason I still believe that righteousness has a place in this world."
After a brief silence, Li Feng finally nodded.
"Very well. If this is truly what you wish, then... I won’t refuse you any longer!"
