Chapter 139: Demonic

"Creak!"

Among the rows of coffins, the lid of a massive purple coffin was pushed aside from within. Immediately, a fair, boneless, delicate hand reached out, undulating slowly like a white snake.

"You're here!"

Before she even appeared, a soul-stirring, bone-melting voice drifted out from the purple coffin. Laced with the lingering aftermath of ecstasy, it sounded lazy and amorous, inevitably stirring wild imaginations in anyone who heard it.

"This woman is truly the death of me!"

Qin Feng cursed inwardly. *You crazy witch, if you enjoy making love to corpses, go ahead and do it, but did you have to pick this exact time to let me in? Did you do it on purpose? Do you want to find an audience to listen from the side and derive some bizarre, alternative pleasure from it?*

"Perverted, utterly fucking perverted!"

While Qin Feng was furiously cursing in his mind, the woman inside the coffin had already stood up.

Qin Feng cast a glance, and his first impression was indeed one of stunning shock.

The woman was currently clad in nothing more than a tiny purple undergarment. Extremely seductive and alluring, it barely covered her most critical parts. With every movement she made, glimpses of her enchanting body were revealed. Beneath her slender, jade-like neck, a swell of breasts resembling refined suet jade was half-covered and half-revealed, hinting at a pair of globes that could not be spanned by a single grasp. Right over her chest was tattooed a bewitching purple charm serpent. Her waist, lithe as a water snake, writhed and coiled. A pair of long, moist, beautiful legs were exposed directly to the air, and as she shifted, she emitted a silent, seductive groan, issuing a tempting invitation to anyone watching.

Her figure—

In one word: magnificent!

In two words: smoking hot!

In three words: devilishly alluring!

Looking at her facial features next, her long eyelashes were accented with purple eyeshadow, lending her a mysterious and bewitching air. Her captivating, large eyes held a mix of smiles, coyness, charm, and allure, veiled in a misty haze, brimming with seductiveness and endless glamour. The corners of her dainty lips turned up slightly, her purple lips parted slightly, inviting one to taste their sweetness.

"Damn, this is a living, breathing beauty-snake!"

This woman was an absolute peerless beauty radiating a demonic allure from her very bones. Like a boneless, flexible snake-woman, every single motion she made constantly seduced men, tugging at those vulnerable, imagination-fueled nerves deep within a man's mind.

A peerless femme fatale!

Looking at this supremely alluring woman, Qin Feng felt his lips grow slightly dry. He desperately wanted to rush forward, throw her to the ground, and ravage her fiercely to taste her sweetness. But the moment he remembered that this same woman had just been rolling around with a corpse in a passionate frenzy, a wave of violent nausea churned inside his stomach!

What a waste of heaven's precious gifts!

To be born so mesmerizingly alluring, yet possess such utterly sickening hobbies.

It was just so damn agonizingly conflicting!

Though he thought this way inside, how could Qin Feng dare show it on his face? He hurriedly forced Xing Bing to drop to his knees and kowtow, saying, "Disciple Xing Bing pays respects to Master!"

Since she had already issued the command to take him in as her disciple, she naturally wouldn't go back on her word. Qin Feng still possessed that much flexibility; he immediately addressed her as his master while silently praying that this vixen wouldn't take a fancy to him. Otherwise, just thinking about that fragrant yet disgusting scene from earlier made Qin Feng want to vomit.

Fortunately, Xing Bing's outward appearance was fat and heavy-eared. While not supremely ugly, his layers of flab were definitely enough to prevent any woman from arousing primal desires. This detail allowed Qin Feng to let out a silent breath of relief. If he had possessed Fan Liu's body instead, disaster might have been imminent.

Qin Feng carefully controlled Xing Bing, a look of faint panic appearing on his face.

Empress Ziji was quite pleased with this.

Her seductive gaze scrutinized Xing Bing's broad-faced appearance carefully before lingering for a few seconds on Xing Bing's lower body. Those few seconds made Qin Feng instantly feel a chilling draft right around his crotch.

Fortunately, Xing Bing was perhaps too unsightly to catch the beauty's eye.

Withdrawing her scrutinizing gaze, Ziji smiled bewitchingly and asked in an extremely gentle, bone-melting voice, "Xing Bing, is it? The little fellow's cultivation progress is not bad; you've actually reached the third stage of the Human Qi Realm. Hmm... this period happens to be when I am rotating back from the Tianhuan Mountain Range to the Earth Corpse Sect, taking charge of the sect's daily administrative affairs. Ah, it's giving me a headache to death... Still, the sect's routine matters must be managed as best as possible; otherwise, when those old guys come back and take a look, they're bound to lose their tempers at me again. Hmm... where should I assign you to go?" At the end of her sentence, Ziji cupped her chin with her hand, striking a very charming contemplative pose. Her voice grew softer and softer, eventually trailing off into a muttered soliloquy.

Qin Feng controlled Xing Bing, not daring to take even a full breath.

Inwardly, however, he was secretly rejoicing that his luck truly wasn't bad. As long as he didn't have to go to the Tianhuan Mountain Range, anything else was fine.

The Earth Corpse Sect right now was the safest place of all.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng waited quietly. Where exactly he would be assigned still depended entirely on this super-beauty of a master right before his eyes.

Ziji knitted her eyebrows, pondered for a long, long time, and ultimately gave up.

She was naturally an elder who had no heart for power struggles within the sect. This time, because of Tianhuan Mountain, she had been temporarily pushed into this position of real authority.

It could be said that it was truly difficult for her.

"There are countless affairs within the sect—the Myriad Corpse Cave, the Corpse Mining Area, the Blood Origin Pool, the Yin Dan Furnace... There are simply too many matters. Little fellow, tell me yourself, which field of work are you most adept at?" As she spoke, Ziji glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the coffin behind Xing Bing.

Qin Feng felt a jolt in his heart!

Cold sweat instantly beaded along his spine.

At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly felt that this seemingly dissolute and lawless Elder Ziji was not as simple as she appeared on the surface. This demonic woman had a mind as clear and intricate as jade.

Qin Feng extremely carefully controlled Xing Bing to reveal a trace of greed, choosing not to answer directly, but instead replying: "This disciple previously worked as a miner in the Corpse Mining Area for a period of time, so I am quite familiar with the situation there. Afterward, I led a few people onto the battlefield where the two factions clashed in the Tianhuan Mountain Range, scavenging corpses for a period of time!"

"Oh? The Corpse Mining Area?"

Ziji raised an eyebrow, then nodded.

Work in the Corpse Mining Area was actually quite popular. Although the danger coefficient was extremely high, the corresponding rewards were greater. The reason the Earth Corpse Sect chose to establish its sect in this barren swamp region wasn't because, as a demonic sect, they ought to build their mountain gate in some dark and boundless corner. Rather, it was because beneath this vast expanse of swamp lay a massive cluster of ancient tombs, filled with countless ancient and exotic corpses. Corpses were the fundamental basis upon which the Earth Corpse Sect founded itself; therefore, the more ancient a corpse was, the more precious it was to the sect. That was why they chose this location to build their sect. Thousands of years of excavation work had provided the Earth Corpse Sect's Myriad Corpse Cave with a massive supply of ancient corpses for its disciples to choose from, and the sect had gradually grown stronger because of it.

One could say that the Corpse Mining Area was the very foundation of the Earth Corpse Sect.

Under normal circumstances, such a lucrative and prime posting could never fall to a recently advanced disciple like Xing Bing. However, ever since the Nine Walls of Tianhuan Mountain manifested, the sect's focus had shifted somewhat. Consequently, the sect's grave-excavation work had mostly stagnated due to a shortage of personnel.

As for Qin Feng, the reason he directly stated his objective was none other than to take a gamble. He gambled that Elder Ziji was not skilled in assigning administrative duties. Even if she suspected his motives, what of it? Every Elder of the Earth Corpse Sect had numerous disciples under their banner; could she possibly monitor him constantly?

On this point, Qin Feng had clearly overthought it.

Because in the very next moment, Ziji agreed without even giving it a second thought.

This left Qin Feng secretly overjoyed.

Striking while the iron was hot, Qin Feng stated that he would need manpower, and begged Ziji to let Fan Liu act as his right-hand man. After considering it for a moment, Ziji agreed to this as well. But just as Qin Feng was filled with joy and excitement, Ziji's next sentence suddenly caused him to change color in shock, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead all over again.

"That corpse in the coffin behind you is somewhat interesting. I actually can't sense its presence at all. How about leaving it behind so I can have some fun with it for a couple of nights?"
