A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 365: Arrived Back At Cloudveil City.

Arriving at the city gates of Cloudveil City,

sentries were observed in a state of idleness, their spears propped casually against their shoulders as they engaged in light conversation.

Suddenly, one guard’s voice dropped to a lower tone. “Hey… have you guys noticed? Lately, there’s been a significant influx of affluent individuals arriving from the Fen Dynasty.”

“Yeah, I’ve noticed it too,” another guard responded, a frown creasing his brow. “But it’s rather peculiar. There aren’t any major events scheduled in the city at present.”

The guards exchanged looks of bewilderment.

Over the past few days, a remarkable number of people had begun traveling from the Fen Dynasty.

They couldn’t help but ponder what compelling reason could drive so many individuals to undertake such a lengthy journey solely to reach Cloudveil City.

After all, traversing the distance from their region to the Fen Dynasty’s nearest border typically required at least a week’s travel.

Could there be a significant development unfolding that remained unknown to them?

Just then, one of the guards caught sight of two figures in the distance, approaching the gate.

The instant he recognized one of them, all the guards brightened, offering warm greetings. “Ah, Alchemist Li! You’ve returned.”

It was indeed Li Feng, a renowned alchemist within the city, whom the guards had greeted personally on several prior occasions.

However, their pleasantries abruptly halted as they noticed the stunning woman accompanying him.

The moment their eyes landed on her exquisite face and striking white hair, every guard snapped to attention, respectfully clearing a path for the pair.

Li Feng blinked at their sudden shift in demeanor but simply offered a smile and a wave before proceeding into the city with Yue Lan.

It was only after the two had moved a considerable distance away that the guards collectively exhaled, a sheen of cold sweat appearing on their brows.

A new guard murmured, his gaze still fixed in awe, “That celestial being… she’s so incredibly beautiful…”

Experienced guards quickly silenced him, clapping a hand over his mouth. “Shhh! Are you trying to court death?!”

They nervously glanced back toward Li Feng’s retreating figure and, confirming that the woman hadn’t noticed or reacted, released the junior guard with another relieved sigh.

The newcomer looked perplexed. “What? What’s going on?”

Observing his confusion, a senior guard let out a deep sigh and explained in a hushed tone. “You’re still too new here, so you likely haven’t learned this yet… but the more breathtaking a fairy-like woman is, the more perilous she often proves to be.”

He swallowed with apprehension before adding, “…Especially one with white hair.”

In this world, white hair was not an entirely uncommon sight.

However, for a person of youthful appearance and exceptional beauty to possess white hair typically indicated one of two possibilities:

Either they had mastered a profound cultivation technique that altered their physical appearance, or…

They were an ancient, powerful being inhabiting a youthful form.

In essence, to these guards, encountering a gorgeous, fairy-like woman with white hair was akin to facing a formidable Sect Elder.

Official directives had even been issued to city guards, explicitly cautioning them against offending such individuals.

Regrettably, it seemed the new recruit had yet to familiarize himself with these protocols.

With a grim expression, the senior guard ordered the newcomer to return and thoroughly review all guard protocols and guidelines.

Once the new guard departed, looking disgruntled, the senior guard’s gaze drifted back to the direction Li Feng had taken, a peculiar, envious expression crossing his face.

After all, on each occasion Alchemist Li returned to the city, he was invariably accompanied by another stunningly beautiful woman.

‘How enviable…’

Yet, he acknowledged his own limitations.

Ultimately, he could only harbor his jealousy in silence.

Li Feng continued his unhurried walk toward the Wei Alchemy Hall, but he couldn’t ignore the attention that flowed from everyone on the street toward him… or more accurately, toward Yue Lan.

“Mother, that big sister is so pretty…”

“Hush… don’t point at her!”

“What an extraordinary celestial being… Is she perhaps from the Azure Moon Sect?”

Li Feng merely smiled upon hearing the surrounding whispers.

For the more they lauded Yue Lan, the more his own sense of pride swelled.

She was his Dao Companion, after all.

Naturally, if any fool dared to make advances toward his woman today, he wouldn’t hesitate to inflict injury.

Yet, strangely, despite the multitude of admiring glances and hushed murmurs, not a single Young Master or self-proclaimed genius approached them.

Li Feng’s brow lifted slightly.

‘Huh… not quite the scenario I had anticipated.’

Perhaps those predictable, cliché encounters weren’t as dependable as he had previously assumed.

“Is something wrong?” Yue Lan inquired softly, sensing his preoccupation.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Li Feng replied with a smile. “It’s just that many people seem quite captivated by you, Lan’er.”

Yue Lan offered no verbal response to his statement.

She simply returned his smile, a soft, gentle expression.

Another wave of hushed gasps rippled through the crowd, as though countless hearts had been simultaneously captured.

Meanwhile, not all eyes were fixed on her, as a small group stood apart, their gazes keenly focused on Li Feng.

"Is that the alchemist from the Wei Alchemy Hall?"

"Send a message to the master. He has arrived."

"...Perhaps we could convince him to lend us his aid?"

Even from a considerable distance, their hushed words reached Li Feng’s ears with absolute clarity.

His senses, honed to a degree far surpassing ordinary cultivators, registered every syllable.

He tilted his head slightly, a flicker of curiosity about their intentions directed toward him.

Still, not a trace of worry touched him.

Before long, they arrived at the vicinity of the Wei Alchemy Hall.

Or rather, they stopped just outside, observing a significant throng that had densely congregated before the structure, forming a restless wall of bodies.

And stationed at the entrance were several unfamiliar men in uniform robes, completely obstructing passage. Each of them emanated the stable, imposing aura characteristic of Qi Refinement cultivators.

It was evident that entry was being denied to all.

Witnessing this, Li Feng’s eyes narrowed subtly.

'Hmm? Who are these individuals?'

A distinct sense of unease settled upon him.

He reached out and gently tapped the shoulder of a stout man standing near the rear, a figure who appeared to be a well-dressed, middle-aged individual with an expression contorted by annoyance.

"Pardon me," Li Feng inquired with composed demeanor. "Is something unfolding at the Wei Alchemy Hall?"

The man initially made no move to turn, emitting an exasperated sigh.

"I'm uncertain. Apparently, there's some 'urgent meeting' in progress. The guards informed us as much, at least."

He then let out a scoff, clearly unconvinced by the explanation.

"What sort of meeting stretches on for four hours? It sounds like utter fabrication to me. That Wei Zhong is likely plotting something once more."

He shifted his stance restlessly.

As a resident of the area, he was quite familiar with the internal strife plaguing the Wei family. Currently, however, he had more pressing matters at hand.

...His supply of Yang Boosting Pills had been depleted.

And tonight... he had engagements with his new paramour.

"Well, what can be done? We are merely common individuals," he continued.

"However, I overheard someone mention that the City Lord's Manor has been notified, so perhaps there will be—"

At that very moment, he turned mid-sentence and abruptly froze.

Looming behind him stood a tall, broad-shouldered young man whose presence was impossible to disregard.

Recognition then dawned instantly.

"A-Alchemist Li!"

Li Feng offered a faint smile and a slight nod of acknowledgment before moving past him.

Simultaneously, a cold smile graced his lips.

The assembled crowd also registered his arrival, swiftly creating a path.

Some were eager to witness the unfolding spectacle, while many others gazed with adoration at the silent, celestial beauty accompanying him.

Together, they proceeded through the parted masses, much like a blade cleaving effortlessly through still water.
