Chapter 1232 - 12: True Face

Lin Feng sat next to Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi raised her glass, smiling as she said, "I personally picked these fresh flowers and brewed this Hundred Flowers Wine from them, try it and see how it tastes.".

Lin Feng nodded, took a sip, and didn’t find anything wrong with the Hundred Flowers Wine. He thought to himself, "Could it be that I was overly suspicious?"

In truth, Lin Feng was always very cautious because he felt that Mrs. Qi was not a simple character.

But in reality, Mrs. Qi had done nothing suspicious, which made Lin Feng feel a bit apologetic. After all, the other person had helped him.

Yet he still doubted Mrs. Qi, which was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

"Good wine..." Lin Feng nodded. Having spent a lot of time with an old drunkard, Lin Feng had come to understand some things about wine. This Hundred Flowers Brew was sweet and mellow, carrying a fragrant allure, truly a rare fine wine.

Chu Nianyi poured another glass for Lin Feng, smiling as she said, "Young Master Lin, you’re in for a treat. This Hundred Flowers Brew is made from a hundred types of rare earthly flowers and has seventy-six precious ingredients mixed in by the Madame. She usually doesn’t even drink it herself, but today she’s offering it to you."

Lin Feng replied, "Madame is truly considerate, making me feel embarrassed to accept."

Mrs. Qi giggled and said, "Good wine should be tasted with those who share similar interests to truly savor its flavor."

"Is Madame implying that we share common interests?" Lin Feng smiled as he looked at Mrs. Qi.

"In certain ways, I believe so." Mrs. Qi smiled slightly.

Lin Feng smiled and said nothing, instead looking at the beautifully moving dancing girls.

Mrs. Qi laughed and asked, "What does Young Master Lin think of these dancers?"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "It’s as if I’m watching a group of immortals dancing. Madame truly knows how to enjoy life, cultivating so many beautiful dancers. I think any one of them could be the leading star at the Wanhua Building!"

Mrs. Qi laughed and said, "It seems Young Master is quite familiar with the Wanhua Building. Could it be that you frequent such places?"

Lin Feng said, "I have a friend who is a Holy Daughter of the Wanhua Building, so I’ve been there a few times."

"Oh? Wanhua Building has twelve Holy Daughters, I wonder which one Young Master is talking about?" Mrs. Qi smiled slightly.

"It’s best not to mention it!" Lin Feng said.

Mrs. Qi laughed blissfully, "Could it be a beloved confidante? Is that why you wish to keep it a secret?"

Lin Feng replied, "That’s not it. It’s mainly because I believe discussing my friends behind their backs is not good."

No one knew how much wine was consumed that night.

A drowsy feeling overcame him.

When Lin Feng awoke, he felt like his head was splitting, the pain unbearable.

He opened his eyes, looking around somewhat confused. The room was still slightly dim; it was still night.

Lin Feng tried to get up but found his body felt weak, like he had no strength.

"Do you feel weak and powerless now?"

Mrs. Qi smiled as she walked in from outside.

Lin Feng asked, "Did you do something to me?"

Mrs. Qi giggled and said, "How could I bear to do anything to you, Young Master?"

Lin Feng said irritably, "I can’t move, and you say you haven’t done anything to me?"

Mrs. Qi looked as if she were wronged, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, "You’ve had too much to drink, Young Master. I was worried you wouldn’t rest well, so I lit some Buddha oil for you. This oil, extracted from the bodies of Buddhist High Monks, has a calming, sleep-aid effect, and can even lead a cultivator to a sudden enlightenment of the Great Tao. A small bottle costs hundreds of thousands of top-grade spiritual stones. I usually can’t bear to use it myself, yet I lit it for you, Young Master, and now you complain about me. I feel so hurt.".

"Alright, alright. I’m not falling for that. What’s really going on with my body? Why can’t I move?" Lin Feng asked in a serious tone.

"The Hundred Flowers Wine is rather special. If exposed to the energy from the burning Buddha oil, it makes a cultivator feel weak and powerless. This effect only lasts for one night, mainly to help you have a good sleep, so you don’t need to worry," Mrs. Qi said.

"Since Madame wants me to have a good sleep, then please leave my room quickly to avoid being seen and sparking rumors that wouldn’t be good," Lin Feng said.

"Hehehehe..."

Mrs. Qi suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that Young Master truly believes I’m a woman of loose morals?" Mrs. Qi looked at Lin Feng and asked.

Lin Feng did not answer because he knew Mrs. Qi didn’t really want to know his answer.

"I mentioned before that we share some interests, do you remember?" Mrs. Qi looked at Lin Feng and asked.

"I still haven’t figured out what we have in common," Lin Feng said.

"Young Master, look at the four to five hundred women across this palace, each one a matchless beauty," Mrs. Qi said with a smile.

Lin Feng looked at Mrs. Qi in shock, exclaiming, "What you like is actually..."
