Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Offer (2)

Li Feng stared at the scene with a dumbfounded expression.

Shadow knelt on one knee, its tall shadowy figure hunched forward as it carefully offered the unconscious woman in its long black arms toward him, like a loyal hound presenting its hunted prey to its master.

The woman was both beautiful and possessed a slightly tomboyish aura, evident from her face and short hair.

It was Purple Death.

Li Feng couldn’t help but glance at her chest, which was also very well-endowed.

"~~"

Seeing Li Feng sneaking glance, Shadow tilted its white skull mask slightly, the glowing eye sockets looking at Li Feng with clear expectation, as if waiting for praise.

Li Feng blinked several times, processing the sight.

He had sent Shadow to kill the assassins or capture one for questioning, but this... he hadn’t expected it to bring back a beautiful woman instead.

Sure, he liked the gift, but he noticed something strange with this woman.

"...You didn’t kill her, right?"

Shadow shook its head hurriedly, then gently placed the unconscious Purple Death on the ground in front of Li Feng, almost reverently.

Li Feng went forward then crouched down and examined her.

He checked her pulse first.

It was faint, but steady.

Her body was still warm, and her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths.

She was alive.

But something was... wrong.

Her spiritual energy was chaotic and fragmented.

And parts of her cultivation base felt severed, as if entire sections of her meridians and soul had been cleanly cut away.

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed as he turned to look at Shadow.

"What did you do?"

"~~?"

Soon, after listening to Shadow’s explanation, Li Feng couldn’t help but let out an exasperated sigh.

It seemed that Shadow had used [Sever] not to wound her physically, but to conceptually cut the deeper connection between her soul and her physical body.

It wasn’t a killing blow, but it was a precise, surgical separation.

The woman’s soul was still inside her body, but the link had been damaged, leaving her in a half-conscious, vulnerable state.

Shadow had done this deliberately.

It thought its Master would like... the body of a beautiful woman.

Li Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or smack the mask at this conclusion it had reached.

Sure, he loved women body, but it didn’t mean literally.

Women’s charm wasn’t just about their bodies, but their personality, traits, and strength.

Still, he reached out and patted the top of the cracked white skull mask a few times.

"...You really are something else, Shadow. But next time, if you want to offer me a woman, make sure she is complete... not like this."

Shadow’s eye sockets glowed brighter, clearly happy with the head pat, and nodded at his words.

Li Feng looked back down at the unconscious Purple Death.

Even in her weakened state, her mature beauty was undeniable... short black hair, sharp yet alluring features, and a well-endowed figure that her torn assassin clothes barely concealed.

The faint purple veins of her bloodline still glowed softly beneath her skin, giving her an exotic, dangerous charm.

Looking at her like this, Li Feng realized there was another problem.

"...How am I supposed to question an empty shell?"

He had originally wanted to question this assassin about their goals and perhaps uncover the mastermind behind this incident.

Li Feng couldn’t help but feel it was too much of a coincidence that this happened while he was on the route.

He turned to Shadow again.

"Can you stitch the part you severed back?"

Shadow tilted its white skull mask slightly, the glowing eye sockets blinking once in confusion.

"~~?"

It clearly didn’t understand the concept.

To Shadow, [Sever] was an absolute power... once something was cut, it was cut.

Reconnecting what had been conceptually severed was not something it had ever considered before.

Seeing the cute gesture, Li Feng let out a long, exasperated sigh and rubbed his temple, as he already knew the answer.

He crouched down again and placed his palm on Purple Death’s chest, sending a gentle wave of spiritual qi into her body.

"She’s alive, but her soul and body are only loosely connected right now... Hmm, maybe I could try to reconnect it with Soul Purification?"

Li Feng murmured, lost in thought.

Soul Purification was a technique to cleanse, strengthen, and harmonize the soul using pure harmonious energy of yin and yang.

If [Sever] had cut the conceptual link between her soul and body, then Soul Purification might be able to rebuild or reinforce that connection.

It was like repairing a broken bridge using pure harmonious energy as the material.

But that meant he would have to dual cultivate with this woman—

"Ah..."

Li Feng suddenly had a realization and looked at the unconscious beauty with a strange gaze.

’Perhaps... this might not be as bad as I thought it would be.’

The first thought in Li Feng’s mind was to make this woman his.

It wasn’t just lust toward a beautiful woman.... although that was certainly a major factor but the bigger reason was that he had already realized who she was from the short inspection.

She was the gold-class assassin General Zhang Kuo had mentioned earlier.

A top-tier existence from the Rain Pavilion, capable of assassinating Golden Core experts.

Such a powerful and dangerous woman... if he could successfully reconnect her soul and body through dual cultivation, he could try to turn her into his Star Apostle.

Li Feng remembered that he couldn’t turn other cultivators into his Star Apostles because their souls were no longer compatible with the stars as they had already been imprinted by the world.

So he wanted to try fixing and cleansing her soul to see if he could make it capable of housing a star.

Even if it didn’t work out, it could still prove to be a valuable experiment.

A gold-class assassin from the Rain Pavilion... beautiful, powerful, experienced, and deadly...

Just imagining having such an amazing subordinate brought a surge of joy to his heart.

As for whether she consented or not? Li Feng didn’t care.

After all, this woman was one of the perpetrators who had tried to cause countless deaths and chaos inside this fortress, making her an enemy of the Azure Moon Sect.

So whoever was the enemy of his sect... was his enemy!
