I Just Wanted to Teach Cultivation, But Goddesses Keep Coming!-Chapter 136 She’s Reaching for My Hidden Dragon

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 She’s Reaching for My Hidden Dragon

"Of course," Lin Feng replied calmly, giving a slight nod before following Su Muyao.

At those words, Li Zhiyan’s beautiful eyes widened almost imperceptibly.

"Are they... in that kind of relationship?" she thought in shock.

The reaction lasted no more than a heartbeat before she composed herself, smoothing her expression into one of serene neutrality.

It was her first day in this new role.

The last thing she wished to do was appear intrusive or overly curious.

Whatever personal matters existed between Lin Feng and Su Muyao were not for her to question.

So she lowered her gaze slightly and remained beside Su Wanwan, quietly observing the little girl practice her spatial technique.

Outwardly, she was calm.

Inwardly, however, her thoughts stirred like ripples beneath still water.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng followed Su Muyao down the narrow space of the modest home.

The house was small... only three rooms in total.

One served as the main living area, another as Su Wanwan’s room, and the last...

Su Muyao stopped in front of the final door.

She hesitated for the briefest moment before pushing it open and stepping inside.

Lin Feng’s brows lifted slightly.

A bedroom.

He stepped in after her.

The air was subtly different here... softer, warmer.

A faint fragrance lingered in the room, light and natural, unmistakably hers.

It wasn’t perfume, nor was it overwhelming. It was simply... Su Muyao.

The room itself was simple, like the rest of the house.

A neatly made bed stood against the wall, a small wooden dresser nearby, and a modest table with a mirror resting atop it.

Everything was orderly, carefully maintained, reflecting her personality... gentle, diligent, and self-respecting despite humble circumstances.

Lin Feng closed the door quietly behind him.

The soft click echoed more loudly than expected.

The windows were shut, curtains drawn.

Only a single lantern burned on the side table, its golden flame flickering gently.

The light it cast was warm but dim, painting the room in shifting shadows.

And within that glow, Su Muyao stood.

Outside, beneath the bright daylight, she possessed a soft, approachable beauty like a quiet spring morning.

But here, in the subdued lantern light, she seemed different.

The shadows traced the delicate curve of her jaw, deepened the hue of her eyes, and highlighted the graceful lines of her figure.

The blush that had earlier dusted her cheeks now appeared richer, almost luminous against her fair skin.

Her lashes trembled faintly as she lowered her gaze.

The silence stretched.

The room felt smaller than before.

In the interplay of light and shadow, Su Muyao was no longer simply beautiful.

She was captivating.

In just the few days she had been eating the spiritual dishes Lin Feng brought, her complexion had gradually returned to a healthy rosy glow, restoring her once more to the pink of health.

Su Muyao looked up at Lin Feng and parted her lips slightly.

She tried to speak.

But the words refused to come out.

Her fingers tightened subtly at her sides, and for a brief moment, hesitation flickered across her delicate features.

"What’s wrong, Lady Su?" Lin Feng asked gently. "If you have any trouble at all, you can tell me. I’ll do my best to help you in whatever way I can."

His voice was calm and reassuring.

At those words, the uncertainty in Su Muyao’s eyes gradually faded.

In its place bloomed a smile so radiant it seemed to brighten even the dim lantern-lit room.

It was the kind of smile that could stir even the coldest heart.

"I just... wanted to ask you something, Teacher Lin Feng," she said softly.

"Why are you so good to me and Wanwan?"

The question hung quietly between them.

Lin Feng did not take long to answer.

"Oh, that?" he replied with an easy expression. "Haven’t I told you before, Lady Su? Your daughter has exceptional talent in the Dao. Her potential is extraordinary. In the future, she will achieve great things. She will become a remarkable cultivator and she will make you proud. Even the entire Clear Moon City would look up to her in awe. I simply wish to nurture that talent."

His tone was sincere and steady.

"I see..." Su Muyao murmured.

But a faint shadow crossed her eyes.

It was not anger.

Not resentment.

Just... disappointment.

Somewhere deep inside, she had hoped perhaps foolishly that his kindness carried a more personal reason.

That he cared for them not solely because of Wanwan’s talent, but because he felt something for her.

She had imagined, if only for a moment, that he might say...

Because I like you.

Because I care for you.

Because I want to protect you.

Yet she had also expected this answer.

From the very beginning, Lin Feng had shown nothing but genuine goodness.

He never looked at her with greed. Never allowed his gaze to linger inappropriately.

Never spoke a word that could be mistaken for impropriety. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

There was no lust in his eyes.

No hidden agenda in his smile.

Only kindness. Only patience. Only quiet strength.

He was exactly what he appeared to be... a compassionate and honorable man.

And perhaps that was precisely why her heart felt heavier.

Because a man like that deserved sincerity in return.

Her gaze softened as resolve slowly gathered within her chest.

If he was truly such a good man...

Then what she was about to do...

She would do without regret.

Su Muyao took a slow step toward Lin Feng.

Then another.

The distance between them shrank until only a breath separated their bodies.

For a fleeting second, she hesitated... eyes searching his face... before closing the remaining space in a sudden rush.

Thud.

Her arms wrapped tightly around him.

Lin Feng stiffened in surprise as her soft figure pressed against his chest.

The warmth of her embrace seeped through the thin fabric of their robes, and for a brief, bewildering moment, his thoughts went completely blank.

Is this heaven? he wondered dazedly. Have I somehow fallen into the embrace of a celestial milf?
