Following the Emperor's declaration of a succession trial, the princes and their factions began preparations. Empress Fen Ling, now Regent Empress, found herself overwhelmed with documents concerning the dynasty's mounting problems. Li Feng confronted Fen Ling about her public declaration using his name during court. Fen Ling initially attempted to charm him, then feigned concern for the common people suffering from potential civil conflict, before admitting she used his reputation to deter the princes from starting a bloody succession war and dragging innocents into it. Li Feng was amused, questioning if his reputation was truly that fearsome, but Fen Ling insisted he was the most feared man in the Fen Dynasty.

Hearing those words, Li Feng’s expression became even stranger as he pointed at himself.

"Me?"

"Yes."

Fen Ling nodded.

"You are connected to the calamity that nearly destroyed the dynasty. And you appeared during its darkest moment, possess strength no one can properly measure, and even have a special status in the Azure Moon Sect."

Fen Ling’s expression became more serious.

"Li Feng, those high-ranking people aren’t fools. They have certainly investigated you and formed their own understanding of who you are."

She paused, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly.

"And frankly... the results of those investigations are terrifying."

"..."

Li Feng fell silent.

"And that’s not even the most frightening part."

Fen Ling leaned forward slightly.

"No one knows what you’re truly capable of."

"People can prepare for an enemy they understand. They can make plans against someone whose abilities and limits are known."

Her crimson eyes narrowed.

"But you?"

She smiled faintly.

"You are an unknown."

"And unknown things... naturally create fear."

Li Feng stared at her and frowned.

Fen Ling remained silent for a moment.

Then, without uttering another word, she slowly rose to her feet.

Li Feng’s expression shifted subtly.

Fen Ling circled the table and halted before him.

She then lowered her head and bowed. Li Feng was taken aback.

"Your Highness?"

"I know I shouldn’t have used your name without asking."

Her voice was no longer playful or calculating.

...It was sincere.

"But this time, I’m asking you properly."

Fen Ling’s hands slowly tightened at her sides.

"I know I’m asking you to involve yourself in something you never wanted to be involved in. I know this isn’t your responsibility."

She remained bowed.

Li Feng’s expression became complicated.

Fen Ling continued.

"Not for the throne. Not for any prince. And not for the Fen Dynasty’s political struggle."

"Do it for me... and for the common people."

She finally looked up, her crimson eyes carrying a rare seriousness.

"If your name can make even a few people hesitate before they raise their swords against innocent people, then I believe it is worth asking you."

Her crimson eyes were no longer calculating; only sincerity could be seen in them.

"So, I’m asking you, not as the Empress of the Fen Dynasty..."

She paused for a moment. "But as a friend."

Fen Ling looked directly at him.

"So, Li Feng... please."

"Lend me your name."

Li Feng didn’t reply.

He could feel the sincerity behind her words.

This wasn’t another political calculation or one of Fen Ling’s clever schemes.

She was genuinely asking him for help.

And for someone like her... a powerful genius and cultivator who stood at the top of her generation to lower her head and bow before him was no small matter.

...Yet she had done it anyway.

For the common people.

Li Feng’s expression slowly softened.

He had originally been annoyed at being dragged into the succession war.

But looking at Fen Ling now, he found it difficult to simply refuse her.

After all...

She was asking him as a friend.

Li Feng let out a long sigh and scratched his head.

"Your Highness, you really know how to make things difficult for me."

Fen Ling blinked and slowly straightened.

"Does that mean you agree?"

Li Feng looked at her for a moment before shaking his head.

"I didn’t say that."

Her expression immediately became slightly disappointed.

Li Feng noticed it and couldn’t help sighing again.

"However..."

He paused.

"If all you want is for my name to serve as a warning, then I suppose I can help you."

Fen Ling’s crimson eyes brightened.

"But I have one condition."

Her expression became stiff as she asked.

"...What condition?"

Li Feng grinned.

He stepped forward and stopped in front of Fen Ling.

Before she could react, one arm wrapped around her waist, drawing her closer and eliminating the space between them until her ample breasts met his chest.

Then, he simply kissed her.

It was not a polite, courtly kiss; it was deep, confident, and utterly shameless..

Fen Ling’s crimson eyes widened slightly.

After all, this was the first time she had ever kissed a man.

"Mm...!"

For a moment, her mind was filled with confusion.

She had expected Li Feng to ask for some political favor, perhaps even something troublesome.

Sure, she knew he was quite indulgent when it came to such matters, but she had never expected this.

After all, having a powerful cultivator like her owe him a favor was far more valuable than using that opportunity to indulge himself in ordinary mortal pleasures.

When Li Feng finally pulled back, Fen Ling stared at him in disbelief.

Feeling his naughty hand still resting on her rear, squeezing her flesh without the slightest hint of shame, she asked,

"You... That is your condition?"

Li Feng just grinned.

But then, Fen Ling’s expression slowly became serious.

She looked at him for a moment before letting out a soft sigh.

"Li Feng, you really should be careful."

She put her arms around his neck and looked at him with a rare expression of genuine concern, like an elder trying to guide a youngling who had yet to experience the world.

"You are a cultivator. Your path is much longer than that of ordinary mortals. You shouldn’t allow yourself to become too attached to these mortal indulgences."

Fen Ling continued seriously.

"Beauty, pleasure, wine, food... These things may seem harmless, but if you indulge in them too much, they can slowly weaken your determination."

She paused before adding,

"Especially when you have already reached such a level of cultivation."

After hearing all of that, Li Feng stared at Fen Ling’s serious face for a moment.

She was really like a granny trying to teach her grandchildren, except this granny... was super hot.

Then he suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha! What are you talking about? My condition isn’t this."

Fen Ling blinked.

Li Feng shook his head, still grinning.

"My condition is much simpler."

He looked at her and said,
