Chapter 437: Chapter 277: Luring the Snake out of Its Hole

In Qin Fengwu’s opinion, Zou Feng was more than capable of getting onto the Outer Sect’s Potential Rankings.

And Qin Fengwu had seen her fair share of prodigies from the Potential Rankings, how they acted so arrogantly and ran amok during the Outer Sect’s monthly assessments.

There were even some unhinged individuals who couldn’t care less about their scores on the monthly assessments.

In fact, they reveled in hunting down their fellow disciples during the assessments.

"By the way, Junior Sister... Qin, I remember when we first met, you said you were quite skilled in the Dual Cultivation Skill?" Zou Feng suddenly changed the subject.

Although Qin Fengwu didn’t understand why Zou Feng had suddenly brought this up, her instincts told her something was amiss. She forced a bitter smile. "Brother Zou, I was just making that up. I only said it to make myself look better for team-ups, and I was planning to renege on it later..."

"The truth is, I’m still a virgin. I don’t know the first thing about any Dual Cultivation Skill..."

However, Zou Feng suddenly stepped closer to Qin Fengwu and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Qin Fengwu wanted to pull away, but she didn’t dare.

’What’s he doing? He couldn’t have suddenly gotten the urge to take me right here and now, could he?’

’Based on everything he’s done so far, he really didn’t seem like some kind of lecherous fiend...’

A stream of True Qi began to flow from Zou Feng’s palm into Qin Fengwu.

After a moment, Zou Feng came to a conclusion. "You were born with a seductive constitution, making you a prime candidate for practicing a Dual Cultivation Skill. There’s no way you don’t know this."

"So, tell me, what Dual Cultivation Skill are you practicing?"

Having been seen through so easily, Qin Fengwu could no longer keep up the pretense. She could only say, "The Cloud and Rainbow Phoenix-Luring Art..."

"But Brother Zou, even though I’ve cultivated the Cloud and Rainbow Phoenix-Luring Art, I’ve never had a cultivation partner. I’m truly, definitely still a virgin!"

Zou Feng almost laughed out loud. "Are you saying that even though you’ve practiced a Dual Cultivation Skill, you’ve never once used it?"

"And why is that?"

Hearing this, Qin Fengwu looked like she was about to blurt out an answer, but the words caught in her throat, and she seemed at a loss for how to begin.

Seeing her desperation to explain yet inability to speak, Zou Feng immediately took out his Token and searched for a general description of the Cloud and Rainbow Phoenix-Luring Art.

After all, Zou Feng was an expert in Dual Cultivation himself. After reading just a few lines of the description, it dawned on him.

"Ah, so you’re holding out for the highest bidder?"

The Cloud and Rainbow Phoenix-Luring Art is most effective when the user still possesses their Primordial Yin.

To put it bluntly, the effects of the first Dual Cultivation session are explosive.

After becoming a Cultivator, outstanding beauty alone isn’t a particularly valuable asset.

But if you’re both beautiful and can provide tangible benefits to a cultivation partner, then that naturally becomes a rather good bargaining chip.

And in the Outer Sect of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, those disciples who have no hope of advancing through their own Cultivation and are unwilling to simply fade into obscurity will pin their hopes on other avenues.

For example, by attaching themselves to a powerful cultivation partner, even if they are just one of many.

Therefore, Outer Disciples who pin their hopes on this path become very focused on accumulating "capital" that will be valued by a potential partner.

The Cloud and Rainbow Phoenix-Luring Art that Qin Fengwu cultivated was most likely part of such a plan.

Of course, it wasn’t just female disciples who did this. Some male disciples who possessed a "Primordial Yang Body" would also treat it as a valuable asset, cultivating a corresponding Dual Cultivation Skill.

"Holding out for the highest bidder... That’s such an ugly way to put it, but... I suppose that’s what it is," Qin Fengwu said with a helpless, bitter smile.

Zou Feng continued, "Setting that aside, since Junior Sister Qin has practiced a Dual Cultivation Skill, I have a plan that might just lure out the King-level Snake-man!"

Qin Fengwu asked listlessly, "Can I refuse?"

"Why would you refuse? This is a win-win situation for both of us!" Zou Feng asked, confused.

After all, as long as he could lure out the king-level specimen, he was confident he could take it down with his strength. So, even if Qin Fengwu acted as bait, she wouldn’t be in any real danger.

Plus, he had no intention of going back on his word about splitting the rewards afterward; he genuinely planned to give Qin Fengwu her share.

Qin Fengwu was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip. "Then... Brother Zou, can you promise me... at least don’t just use me and toss me aside... and let me eat Heavenly Dao Comet Fried Rice ten times a month..."

After all, from their previous chats, Qin Fengwu already knew that Zou Feng was the Head Chef of the Taian Mountain Dining Hall.

She had even been drawn by its reputation to try the Heavenly Dao Comet Fried Rice before.

It had haunted her thoughts ever since. Unfortunately, the dish was on the Head Chef’s private menu and required Immortal Fate to order. With her financial means, she only dared to eat it two or three times a month at most.

’Fortunately, Zou Feng is a prodigy capable of getting on the Potential Rankings. As long as he isn’t completely heartless, this virgin body I’ve preserved for sixty years will have been sold at a decent price.’

"Wait a minute, what do you mean, ’use me and toss me aside’?" Zou Feng realized Qin Fengwu seemed to have completely misunderstood him.

"Aren’t you planning to take me right here and now, Brother Zou?" Squeezing out a single, hard-earned tear, Qin Fengwu very deliberately began to unbutton her clothes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Zou Feng rolled his eyes at her words. "I’m not so depraved as to put on a live sex show for the Snake People!"

"My plan is for you to go near the Snake People’s nest and activate the Cloud and Rainbow Phoenix-Luring Art!"

"You’re beautiful, but your looks alone might not be enough to lure out the king-level specimen. However, if you add the allure bolstered by your Dual Cultivation Skill, it might not be able to maintain its composure."

Most Dual Cultivation Skills inherently bolster one’s Charm Power.

Many Cultivators proficient in the Replenishing Skill, known as a Demoness in the Mortal Realm, can cause their target to lose all reason the moment they start Cultivating. The victim, even knowing they will be used for replenishment, will be unable to control themselves.

"Uh... is that all?"

"What else?"
