Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Mars Collides with Earth
"How is it? Not welcoming me?" the woman said with a teasing voice, "The Blood-Handed Asura who was once fearless, is now afraid of a weak woman like me?"
"If you are a weak woman, then there are hardly any strong women in the world!" Ling Feng forced a smile, "Catherine, how did you come to Huaxia and even Yanjing?"
The owner of the long white legs was Catherine! Ling Fengās first woman, and the woman Ling Feng always avoided!
"What if I say I came for you? Are you very happy and excited?" Catherine stood up, approached Ling Feng, and spoke in a seductive voice, "Ling Feng, donāt you want to possess me fiercely right now?"
Her sexy body and seductive tone, along with the scent of hormones, made Ling Feng breathe more rapidly.
"Catherine, stop it!" Ling Feng took a few deep breaths to suppress his impulses and said, "You should know this isnāt the place for you. What if the people from the Dragon Group find you here?"
Catherine looked at Ling Feng, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, "It seems you really have changed! If it were before, you would have already torn off my clothes and forcefully claimed me! But now... Ling Feng, I really envy and am jealous! Have you changed because of that girl named Liu Tingyu?"
"Youāve met her?" Ling Fengās heart sank.
"Yes, we have indeed met!" Catherine gently caressed Ling Fengās cheek, "Donāt worry, I didnāt do anything to your little lover. After all, she is yours. I just wanted to see what kind of girl could make our grand Blood-Handed Asura change so much!"
Ling Feng looked at Catherine with guilt, "Catherine, you shouldnāt have come to Huaxia!"
"Is it because it might reveal your identity?" Catherine licked her lips, "Does your little lover Liu Tingyu still not know about your identity, your past? So, seeing me, youāre really worried?"
Ling Feng said in a heavy voice, "Yes, she indeed doesnāt know about my past, but Iām not worried for that reason alone. Iām genuinely concerned about your safety. With Divine Gate shattered and the Mad Doctor dead, as the Mad Doctorās only assistant, there are many organizations and forces in the world who want to capture you, to extract information about the Mad Doctor from you!"
"So?" Catherine stared steadily at Ling Feng, "Since Iām so unsafe, will you protect me?"
"Of course, I will, but..." Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "After all, Iām just one person. If anything happens, I might not be able to protect you adequately!"
Catherine was unconcerned, "If even you, the Blood-Handed Asura, canāt protect me, then where else could possibly be safe?"

Ling Feng was momentarily speechless.
Catherine looked at Ling Fengās profile, a smitten expression in her eyes, "Ling Feng, do you know? During these three months youāve been away, Iāve been thinking of you all the time. Wonāt you come back? Even if you despise the strife in the Underworld, I can be with you!"
Ling Feng sighed, "Catherine, all that is in the past now. Iāve grown tired of the days filled with fighting and killing. What I hope for now is to live a calm and peaceful life! Iām worried about you, but I canāt face you. After all, the Mad Doctor was your mentor, and your officer was your father. I killed your father and ruined your teacher, I..."
"Is that really what you think?" Catherine fixed her gaze on Ling Feng, "Is that really why you chose to leave without saying goodbye?"
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Excuses! All excuses!" Catherineās voice trembled with agitation. "Ling Feng, stop lying to me! Since you overpowered me eight years ago, Iāve come to understand you far more than you can imagine. Youāre not avoiding me because you killed them, youāre doing it because you donāt love me, right?"
Ling Feng frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Then dare you say that you love me?" Catherine stared intently at Ling Feng, her voice cold.
Ling Feng looked at Catherineās enchanting face, but hesitated as the words reached his lips.
A trace of sadness crossed Catherineās brow. "Iām well aware that after your first mission eight years ago, as a reward for completing the mission, you chose to make me your woman and claimed me ever since! I know thereās hatred in your heart, endless hatred, endless resentment! But you couldnāt resist the Mad Doctor and the instructor, so you chose to use me for revenge!"
"So every day, you vented on my body, becoming even more brutal after completing missions! Because you only saw me as a tool to retaliate against the Mad Doctor, only then could you release the bottled-up fury in your heart! I understand all this!" Catherineās voice shook, "So when you destroyed the Divine Gate, killed the Mad Doctor and the instructor, took your revenge, you didnāt know how to face me anymore, did you? Because āme nowā just keeps reminding you of that tragic past! You abandoned me because you donāt want to recall that history, right?"
Faced with Catherineās accusations, Ling Feng was silent. Though he was reluctant to admit it, Catherine was right!
Back then, Ling Feng overpowered Catherine because she was the Mad Doctorās student, the instructorās daughter! It was also because Ling Feng was the outstanding test subject of the Mad Doctor that he had the qualifications to claim Catherine!
"Ling Feng, I want to ask you, from eight years ago till now, have you ever had feelings for me? Have I ever left a trace in your heart? Not as a tool for satisfaction, but as a flesh-and-blood woman?"
Ling Feng closed his eyes. Facing Catherineās questioning, Ling Feng didnāt know what to say. This was also something he had always been reluctant to face. Humans arenāt unfeeling plants; can they truly be without sentiment?
Even if Catherine was the student of the Mad Doctor, the daughter of the instructor, her enduring submission over these eight-plus years, how could Ling Feng be unaware of her true feelings?
But now, Ling Feng wasnāt sure if his feelings for Catherine were sympathy, guilt, or perhaps love?
"Ling Feng, youāre a proud and tyrannical man! You have your own harsh demands for affection," Catherine said, "If you loved me, you wouldnāt let me leave you, but you chose to leave, implying that you have never loved me, right?"
Ling Feng exhaled and said, "I donāt know, Catherine, donāt push me! I really donāt know! Youāre right, after I killed the Mad Doctor and the instructor, the resentment that was pent up in my heart vanished, and so I was lost! Without the hate, I donāt know how to face you."
A look of realization crossed Catherineās face. Ling Fengās turmoil was because he didnāt solely see her as a tool to satisfy urges, which made Catherine very happy.
"Love or not actually doesnāt matter to us!" Catherine pushed Ling Feng onto the bed and straddled him, licking her lips and saying, "Love is too luxurious for people like us. I just want to ask one thing, seeing me like this, do you want to ravage me, possess me like before?"
As Catherineās body subtly rubbed against him, Ling Fengās eyes instantly reddened. "Catherine, youāre playing with fire!"
"Playing with fire?" Catherine lay on top of Ling Feng, her voice dripping with allure, "No, Iām making you burn!"
"Ling Feng, we came to see you!" With a bang, the duty room door opened, and Ting Yu and Yun Hanrui stood at the doorway.
