Chapter 1188: You Shameless Bastard

"Don't look. Don't you dare look!"

Xiang'er quickly raised her slender hand to cover Yang Huanzhi's eyes. Her cheeks puffed up with anger. "Hmph, what's there to see?"

"I'm not looking. Not looking at all!"

Yang Huanzhi sniffed and spoke as if innocent, but his eyes darted left and right, sneaking glances whenever he could. His lecherous nature was fully exposed.

Under countless staring eyes, Murong Zining soon stood wearing nothing but her undergarment. Her fair shoulders, graceful arms, and slender waist were revealed before the crowd.

The curses and scolding in the audience changed to the sound of swallowing. Many secretly chanted in their hearts,

Take it off, take it off!

Ling Feng had no intention of giving these animals what they wanted. He snapped his fingers lightly and dissolved Murong Zining's dream.

Murong Zining suddenly awoke, but she failed to grasp the difference between reality and the dream. She still believed she was stomping on Ling Feng's face.

She threw back her head and laughed. "Ling Feng, now you're convinced of your defeat?"

"

Oh,

I'm convinced. Completely convinced!"

Ling Feng clapped his hands and smiled. "Miss Murong, don't you feel a little cold?"

"What?"

Murong Zining's pupils shrank. She suddenly saw Ling Feng standing before her, unharmed. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "How can this be? You were caught in my killing strike. You couldn't even move!"

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng's gaze locked on her. "Look carefully."

Following Ling Feng's gaze, Murong Zining looked down and froze.

Only then did she realize that, apart from a single thin undergarment, she was completely exposed!

"

Ah!

"

A scream split the air like thunder.

Murong Zining realized that she was nearly naked in front of the entire crowd!

Countless burning gazes fell upon her body. Humiliation and rage surged through her chest like a storm!

"Ling Feng!"

Like a furious lion, Murong Zining roared his name. She snatched the nine-colored silk back to wrap around herself and struck out with a palm full of rage.

"You still want to fight?"

Ling Feng snorted and stepped aside with Boundless Sword Steps, dodging her attack. "Aren't you afraid I'll control you again? This time, I might make you strip off the rest!"

"You dare!"

Murong Zining's heart skipped a beat. Her movement slowed. She suddenly felt a hand slap hard across her backside. Pain and humiliation burned through her like fire.

"Do you believe me now?"

Ling Feng's lips curved in a cold smile. "If you know what's good for you, release Tuoba Yan. If not, I'll make sure every so-called genius in the Inner Sea enjoys the full view. The number one beauty of the Tianlan Sea Region, wasn't it? To be honest, even I'm curious!"

"You bastard. You shameless bastard!"

Murong Zining trembled with rage. Her whole body shook.

But she knew Ling Feng meant every word.

Moments ago, she had already fallen under his control without realizing it. Who could say what he would do next...

If he truly forced her to strip before the entire crowd, she would never be able to show her face again.

"

Heh,

you brought this on yourself!"

Ling Feng fixed his eyes on Murong Zining, a cold smile playing at his lips. "I've had enough of you from the start. If you'd just stayed out of my way, I wouldn't have bothered with you. But you had to use Yan'er to try and control me. You really picked the wrong person!"

"Murong Zining, others may fall for your act. I don't. You think you're some divine goddess, but in my eyes, you're worth less than the lowest whore!"

His words cut like blades. Murong Zining felt herself trembling, not from anger but from the sudden, shattering sense of worthlessness.

"You!"

For once, she was speechless. Her proud aura as a goddess had crumbled completely.

"You what?"

Ling Feng's expression hardened. "I'll give you ten breaths to decide. If you don't want something worse to happen, act fast."

"South side... the south warehouse!"

Murong Zining clenched her fists and spoke through gritted teeth. "I locked her in the warehouse on the south side of the city."

"Good. You made the right choice!"

Ling Feng gave a cold laugh and vanished toward the south.

Murong Zining stood still, the nine-colored silk wrapped tightly around her trembling body. She bit her lip and stared after him, emotions swirling too quickly to name.

Below the platform, countless eyes still lingered on her. Some wiped drool from their chins while giving her lewd smiles.

A few even shivered and muttered to themselves in obscene delight. (

Hehehe...

)

Even Murong Zining, proud as she was, could not bear the shame.

"Ling Feng, I'll remember this. I'll never forgive you!"

She activated her movement art and left without a backward glance. Not even Murong Huang, lying nearby like a dead dog, earned her attention.

When she was gone, the crowd finally exhaled. For a moment, they had all felt as if Murong Zining might slaughter them to erase witnesses.

If not for Elder Tian Yi's presence, perhaps she would have.

"Damn, I've never seen Miss Murong look so terrifying."

"Do you think maybe she's not as pure as she acts? The way she moved in that dance looked too natural!"

"Shut up. But seriously, we were so close to seeing everything...

Hehehe

..."

"Exactly. That damned Ling Feng should have let her dance a little longer. What a beast!"

"..."

The lecherous crowd muttered and laughed as they dispersed, still picturing Murong Zining's graceful figure.

That night, many would lose their offsprings...

...

Ling Feng soon reached the southern warehouse. Two guards stood at the door, but he took them down with ease.

Using his Boundless Vision, he quickly located Tuoba Yan.

She was tied up, her mouth stuffed with a rag. Ling Feng shook his head and smiled faintly. He removed the special bindings and pressed his fingers against her philtrum[1], waking her with a sharp pain.

"Bastard!"

Tuoba Yan shouted instinctively and struck with a palm. But a familiar voice stopped her. "Yan'er, it's me!"

She blinked, then saw that it was Ling Feng standing before her.

He caught her hand and checked her over. Seeing that she was unhurt, he relaxed. "Sorry. I came late."

Tuoba Yan bit her lip and shot him a sidelong glance filled with reproach, though in her heart, a faint warmth spread.

So he does know how to worry after all...
