I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming! - Chapter 395 To Catch the Fish, One Must First Become the Worm
Chapter 395: Chapter 395 To Catch the Fish, One Must First Become the Worm
The birthday celebration soon reached its peak, and the Liu Clan estate transformed into a sea of joy and noise.
Lanterns swayed gently in the evening breeze, casting warm golden light across the courtyard.
Long tables were filled with dishes made from spirit beasts, fragrant herbs, and fine wine that flowed endlessly.
Laughter rose and fell like waves, blending with the clinking of cups and the lively chatter of guests.
At the center of it all sat Lin Feng.
At first, his presence had been like a mountain pressing down on everyone’s hearts.
Even the elders had spoken cautiously, measuring every word, while the younger generation barely dared to breathe too loudly in his vicinity.
No one wished to offend a man who could, with a single move, overturn their entire clan.
But Lin Feng never displayed even a trace of arrogance.
When someone spoke to him, he listened. When someone toasted him, he returned the gesture.
When someone joked no matter how small or awkward he would respond with a faint smile, sometimes even adding a remark of his own.
Slowly… imperceptibly… The atmosphere changed.
The invisible pressure dissipated like mist under the morning sun.
“Come, come! Don’t just sit there, drink!” one of the elders laughed loudly, raising his cup without restraint.
“Haha! If I had known Young Master Lin Feng was this approachable, I would’ve come earlier!” another chimed in.
Even some of the younger cultivators, who had initially been stiff as statues, began to relax.
A few of them gathered nearby, listening intently whenever Lin Feng spoke, their eyes filled with admiration.
“Young Master Lin Feng is truly one of a kind,” a middle-aged man said with a sigh.
“I disagree,” another replied immediately. “He’s not just one of a kind… he’s a dragon among men. Strength aside, his temperament alone surpasses most seniors I’ve met in my entire life.”
“Exactly! To have such power yet remain so humble… it’s simply unimaginable.”
Praise spread like wildfire.
The more they interacted with him, the more impressed they became.
And it was precisely because of this… That certain thoughts began to take root.
Not far from the main table, several elders had quietly gathered, their voices low and their expressions thoughtful.
“This is a rare opportunity,” one of them said.
“An opportunity that may never come again,” another added, eyes narrowing slightly.
“I’ve heard… Young Master Lin Feng has a fondness for beautiful women.”
The group fell silent for a brief moment.
Then, almost simultaneously, faint smiles appeared on their faces. No further words were needed.
The decision was made. Soon enough, discreet instructions were passed down.
Within minutes, several of the Liu Clan’s most beautiful young maidens began to appear near Lin Feng’s table, each one carefully dressed, their movements graceful though not without a hint of nervousness.
Some carried wine. Some brought delicacies.
Others simply lingered nearby, waiting for an opportunity to speak.
“Y-Young Master Lin Feng, would you like some wine?” one of them asked softly, her hands trembling slightly as she poured.
“Thank you,” Lin Feng replied with a gentle nod, accepting the cup without making her feel uneasy.
Encouraged by this, another stepped forward.
“Young Master Lin Feng, I heard you’re from an ancient clan. The dishes today may be simple, but I hope they suit your taste…”
“They’re quite good,” Lin Feng answered calmly. “You’ve all put in effort.”
His tone was sincere, without the slightest hint of condescension.
Hearing this, the young woman’s face lit up with joy.
Not far away, the elders watched closely, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“That’s right… keep going…”
“Good, good… she’s doing well…”
However, not all attempts went smoothly.
In a quieter corner, one particular mother was nearly losing her mind.
“Daughter, not like that!” she whispered urgently, her face filled with frustration.
“I told you just bat your eyes once and purse your lips slightly. Just once!”
The young woman, clearly inexperienced, nodded nervously. Then, in the next moment..
She blinked rapidly. Again. And again. And again.
Her lips puckered repeatedly, her expression stiff and unnatural.
The result was disastrous. She looked less like a graceful maiden and more like a fish gasping for air.
The mother froze, her expression turning blank before she covered her face in silent despair.
“You look like a fish out of water…” she muttered, her voice filled with helplessness.
Nearby relatives pretended not to notice, though a few struggled to suppress their laughter.
Despite these small mishaps, the overall plan continued. More maidens approached.
More conversations unfolded. Some were shy, speaking only a few words before retreating.
Others were bolder, managing to exchange a few laughs with Lin Feng.
And through it all, Lin Feng remained composed.
He neither encouraged nor rejected them outright.
He simply treated everyone with the same calm courtesy, like a gentle breeze that neither lingered nor pushed away.
Yet that very attitude… Only made him more attractive in their eyes.
To possess such strength, yet remain so grounded…
To be surrounded by attention, yet remain unmoved…
In the eyes of many, this was the true bearing of a peerless expert.
Meanwhile, Liu Yichen sat not too far away, observing everything with a complicated expression.
On one hand, he was relieved. The atmosphere had turned lively, and Lin Feng did not seem displeased.
On the other hand… He could clearly see what the elders were trying to do.
“Whether this succeeds or not… will depend on fate,” Liu Yichen thought inwardly, lifting his cup and taking a slow sip.
Above them, the lanterns continued to sway.
Below, laughter echoed endlessly. And at the heart of the celebration…
Lin Feng remained the center of it all… calm, composed, and utterly untouchable.
Meanwhile, not everyone in the celebration was as composed as they appeared.
At a side table, a woman was quietly drinking far more than she usually would.
“Are you alright, Yuhua?” a pretty woman asked, her brows knitting slightly in concern.
There was a hint of confusion in her eyes as well. “You rarely drink at gatherings like this.”
