Chapter 560: An Outstanding Woman
"Lin Feng!"
Qing Mengxin murmured softly, looking at Lan Jiao with a faint smile. "Is he Lin Feng?"
Because Lan Jiao had been with Lin Feng when she first arrived in Heavenly Dragon City, it had drawn her master's attention to Lin Feng. As Lan Jiao's senior sister, Qing Mengxin had naturally investigated Lin Feng's background as well. She had developed some interest in this young man who had made such a stir in Snow Moon.
Moreover, Lin Feng had caused quite a commotion in Heavenly Dragon Mountain as well—defeating Yuan Tong, who was at the Sixth Layer of the Profound Martial Realm, humiliating Qin Chuan, and exchanging a palm strike with Cui Wuming. Naturally, none of this escaped Qing Mengxin's notice.
"Yes, he is Lin Feng." Lan Jiao nodded, her gaze flickering.
"Nine Sun Grass, exchange for one Spirit Ganoderma or Blood Soul Grass. Do not disturb if uninterested." Qing Mengxin murmured softly, then smiled. "It seems your little lover has obtained the Luo Shen Pill formula from the Huo family. That Huo Shiyun has treated him quite generously, even giving him the family's treasures."
"Senior Sister, what are you saying?" Lan Jiao shot Qing Mengxin a glare, but Qing Mengxin just smiled without a word. Looking at the sedan carriers, she said softly, "Stop!"
The moment Qing Mengxin's words fell, the soft sedan came to a halt.
With light steps, her jade-like feet descended the sedan's stairs, slowly stepping toward the ground. Instantly, countless eyes were drawn to her. The crowd stared at Qing Mengxin's delicate feet and the snowy, alluring cleavage, as if their eyes might pop out.
Although martial artists possessed strong wills and clear minds, they were not without desires. A person without desires could not be called human. As long as one lived in this world, they would inevitably have desires.
"Hmm?" At that moment, the crowd's gazes froze slightly as they watched Qing Mengxin's jade feet lift and slowly walk toward the stall Lin Feng had set up.
Could it be that Qing Mengxin was interested in the Nine Sun Grass?
But that didn't seem right. Although Nine Sun Grass was extremely precious, Qing Mengxin was the most talented disciple of Star Dream Pavilion. Even if Nine Sun Grass were rare, if she wanted it, she shouldn't be lacking it—unless Qing Mengxin wanted a large quantity.
But Nine Sun Grass was an extreme yang herb, and Qing Mengxin was a gentle woman. The techniques she cultivated were not yang-attributed either, so it was unlikely she would need a large amount of it.
Qing Mengxin walked up to Lin Feng. Her body bent slightly, a seductive smile playing at the corners of her lips as she called out, "Lin Feng."
Lin Feng had naturally sensed Qing Mengxin's approach. A faint, refreshing fragrance of a young woman wafted toward him, feeling clean and natural.
Opening his eyes, because Qing Mengxin's body was slightly bent, the first thing that entered his view was the deep neckline, the snowy, alluring cleavage, and the faintly visible fullness.
That single glance made Lin Feng reluctant to look away. He couldn't help but silently praise her—so beautiful.
"Huff..."
Letting out a breath, Lin Feng slowly lifted his gaze to look at that enchanting face. Qing Mengxin was looking at him with a teasing smile, her ambiguous gaze causing even Lin Feng's steadfast will to waver slightly.
This woman was a true seductress. The allure she gave off was even stronger than what Lan Jiao had once shown him, as if his very heart might be lost.
Moreover, at this moment, looking at Qing Mengxin, she gave him the impression of a charming, gentle, and weak woman. It even occasionally stirred wicked thoughts in him. Who would have imagined her terrifying strength? Anyone facing Qing Mengxin would likely be captivated, overlooking her powerful cultivation.
"A very formidable woman."
Lin Feng thought to himself, guarding his mind and restoring his calm. "Is there something you need?"
Qing Mengxin smiled lightly and shook her head. "Nothing much. I just wanted to see what kind of young man could make my junior sister so infatuated."
"Senior Sister." Lan Jiao called out from the side, startling Lin Feng. Lan Jiao was Qing Mengxin's junior sister?
That was quite unexpected for Lin Feng.
"Do you need Spirit Ganoderma and Blood Soul Grass?" Qing Mengxin asked Lin Feng again. Lin Feng nodded.
"I don't have Blood Soul Grass, but as for Spirit Ganoderma..." Qing Mengxin smiled. Her right hand gently brushed over the colorful ring on her left finger, the movement itself graceful.
Light flickered, and in Qing Mengxin's hand appeared a colorful ganoderma, exuding rich spiritual energy—the energy of life.
"This is the Spirit Ganoderma you wanted. Take it." Qing Mengxin handed the Spirit Ganoderma to Lin Feng, leaving him stunned. Give it to him?
The crowd was also stunned. Who exactly was this guy, to receive Qing Mengxin's favor? She smiled at him, chatted with him, and even gifted him such a precious Spirit Ganoderma.
"I'll exchange it with Nine Sun Grass." Lin Feng didn't take it immediately but spoke instead.
Qing Mengxin, however, shook her head. "I don't need Nine Sun Grass. Consider this Spirit Ganoderma a gift from me."
Qing Mengxin crouched down, placed the Spirit Ganoderma beside Lin Feng, and gave him a bewitching smile, as if trying to steal his soul. Then she turned around, lifted her slender jade feet, and slowly walked back to the soft sedan.
"If she's giving it to you, just take it." Lan Jiao said to Lin Feng before following Qing Mengxin. The sedan was lifted again and slowly moved away. Qing Mengxin's gaze lingered on Lin Feng as she nodded with a smile. "If you want Blood Soul Grass, you can try your luck at the Star Hall."
"Thank you." Lin Feng called out to Qing Mengxin.
Qing Mengxin said nothing, still wearing that seductive smile until the sedan moved forward and her gaze finally shifted away from Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. His impression of Qing Mengxin had completely changed.
Before, when he heard Lan Jiao talk about Qing Mengxin, he only thought she was a wanton and seductive woman. But now, seeing her in person, he could tell that Qing Mengxin was seductive without being lewd. She naturally possessed a special charm and was an exceptionally outstanding woman. No wonder she had achieved such strength and fame.
Qing Mengxin's excellence could be seen from the subtle action of her slightly bending when she came to Lin Feng's side. That casual gesture was both alluring and a sign of respect for Lin Feng.
Because Lin Feng was sitting, if Qing Mengxin stood, there would naturally be a sense of looking down on him. Many people wouldn't care about such a detail, but Qing Mengxin did. The impression she created was one without the slightest hint of arrogance. And her smile, besides being seductive, was also friendly and gentle.
Lin Feng could tell that Lan Jiao also held great respect for her senior sister.
Moreover, Qing Mengxin had gifted him such a precious spiritual herb as Spirit Ganoderma without even a flicker in her eyes—so natural.
A woman like this, one so beautiful that she stirred thoughts in people's hearts, was truly hard to dislike.
The top three ranked individuals of Dragon Mountain Empire were indeed extraordinary, even if they were women.
Light flickered. Lin Feng put away the Spirit Ganoderma and Nine Sun Grass on the ground. With a flick of his sleeve, he stood up, his eyes gleaming with sharp light.
"Star Hall!" he murmured. He had never heard of this place.
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng's figure flickered. He took out a Mid-Grade Origin Stone and handed it to someone, asking, "Excuse me, I'd like to know what Star Hall is and where it is."
Seeing the Origin Stone, the man immediately smiled. Although it was just a Mid-Grade Origin Stone, answering a question everyone knew the answer to was a delight. This Origin Stone came too easily.
It seemed this young man was an outsider, not even knowing about Star Hall.
Lin Feng was also frustrated. If Lan Jiao's master hadn't appeared that day and taken Lan Jiao away, Lan Jiao would surely have told him about Star Hall, and he wouldn't be in the dark.
Taking the Origin Stone from Lin Feng, the man readily said, "The largest trading venue in Heavenly Dragon City is right here—the Star Trading Grounds. However, the Star Trading Grounds are divided into an outer area and an inner area. Where we are now is the outer area, which is actually just the outer part of the Star Trading Grounds. The inner area is called Star Hall. All transactions there are protected, and no one is allowed to snatch anything. Many people with precious treasures are willing to trade inside."
Lin Feng was stunned, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. So he had been wandering around here all this time, only in the outer area.
Yet even just the outer area had quite a few good things. There must be even more valuable treasures traded in Star Hall. No wonder Qing Mengxin had suggested he try his luck there!
