Chapter 472: Spy (2)
Seeing him getting dressed in the middle of the night, she frowned and sat up straighter, her naked body partially covered by the thin blanket.
"Where are you going at this hour?" she asked, a hint of worry in her voice.
Li Feng finished tying his robe and turned to look at the two beautiful women still on the bed.
"I’m going to meet that mole to confirm some things," he replied calmly.
"If Prime Minister Mu really is the mastermind behind Fen Ziyan’s situation, I need fresh and accurate information before making any moves."
He walked over and gently stroked both of their cheeks.
"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything reckless tonight. I’ll be back before dawn."
Lan Suyao and Yue Lan both looked visibly worried.
"Li Feng... it’s already deep into the night," Yue Lan said softly, clutching the blanket. "Can’t it wait until morning?"
Lan Suyao nodded, her brows furrowed.
"Especially after what just happened with the divination. Going out now might be dangerous if that mysterious expert is still watching."
Li Feng smiled gently at their concern.
He walked back to the bed and leaned down, giving each of them a deep, reassuring kiss.
"Don’t worry. It’s just a quick trip to meet my contact. I’ll be careful... and I really hope that expert would come out."
He smiled coldly.
Unless a Nascent Soul expert appeared, Li Feng was confident he could handle anyone below that realm with ease.
And even if that mysterious person truly was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he could simply hide inside the Divine Brick if he couldn’t handle it.
He stroked their hair affectionately one last time before turning toward the door.

Just as he stepped out, Li Feng paused slightly and softly murmured,
"Shadow."
A faint ripple appeared in the air right next to him as a skull-masked figure emerged from the ripple.
"Protect them. Make sure nothing happens to Yue Lan and Lan Suyao while I’m gone."
"~~"
Shadow bowed deeply without a word.
Then, thinking of something, Li Feng took out the Divine Brick and handed it over to Shadow.
"?"
Shadow looked at the brick with fascination, and the brick itself seemed to stare back with equal curiosity.
Seeing the two "meeting" each other for the first time, Li Feng chuckled.
"Shadow, this is the Divine Brick. If something really happens that you cannot handle, make sure to get inside it, okay?" Li Feng instructed.
At those words,
Shadow’s mask seemed to filled with confusion, but then the brick in its hand suddenly vibrated, as if it understood Li Feng’s words.
"??"
"~"
Letting the two communicate, Li Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.
After witnessing the terrifying capability of that unknown expert who had sealed his divination, he knew it was better to be cautious.
With these two absolute invisibility and absolute defense measures, the two of them are the strongest guards he could provide.
Even if he encountered danger himself, he could still freely summon the Divine Brick at will, so leaving it with Shadow was the better choice.
With one final glance at the door, Li Feng disappeared into the dark night of the imperial palace.

In the depths of the night...
The night breeze was cool and carried the faint fragrance of night-blooming flowers.
Everywhere was peaceful and silent, yet a beautiful figure was currently walking cautiously along a secluded path.
Concubine Bai walked slowly toward her residence.
Her steps were a little unsteady, and every now and then her legs would tremble faintly.
She bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the strange heat that still lingered deep inside her body.
Her beautiful face was slightly flushed, and a thin layer of sweat glistened on her delicate collarbone despite the cool night air.
The luxurious purple palace dress she wore was neatly arranged, but if one looked carefully, the hem was slightly wrinkled.
Yet despite such a refined appearance, she cursed softly under her breath.
"Those three bastards... they really went overboard tonight..."
Concubine Bai’s voice was barely a whisper, laced with both resentment and lingering exhaustion.
She pressed a hand lightly against her lower back, feeling the dull ache that spread through her body with every step.
Her inner thighs still felt sticky and sensitive.
The intense session of "greeting the guests" she had just endured was far rougher than usual.
Tonight, she was summoned once more to entertain those three powerful experts... guests her master, Prime Minister Mu, had suddenly invited from somewhere roughly a week ago.
The moment they heard they could enjoy an imperial concubine, she had been summoned almost every day.
And those bastards didn’t hold back at all.... taking turns, sometimes even together, draining every bit of yin energy they could from her body while barely giving her any of their own yang essence.
"Hmph... They call it mutual benefit, but they clearly enjoyed themselves more," she muttered begrudgingly.
But then, the corners of her lips curled into a faint, satisfied smile.
Still... even if the amount was small, the quality of their yang essence was truly top-notch.
Each of those three experts possessed powerful and pure cultivation bases.
The little bit of yang energy they "generously" gave her after thoroughly enjoying her body was like a high-grade tonic for her secret technique.
If she could keep absorbing essence like this for a few more months, her stalled cultivation would definitely break through to the next minor realm—
"Ah... maybe... there is no next month."
Bai Lingyu murmured strangely as a twisted, almost deranged happy expression appeared on her beautiful face.
"Hehe... soon, Fen Hong, I will have my revenge."
She smiled twistedly to herself in the darkness, her eyes gleaming with deep-seated hatred and anticipation.
The thought of finally getting her revenge made her whole body tremble with excitement.
But suddenly—
Her smile froze.
Bai Lingyu’s eyes widened slightly as she finally noticed a tall young man standing quietly on the path directly in front of her, just a few meters away.
Li Feng was watching her silently under the moonlight.
"..."
"—!"
