Chapter 653: Chapter 653 A Midnight Knock from the Entire Female Court Pavilion

The Flame Goddess stood at the forefront of the three sisters, radiating an aura as fierce and blazing as her title suggested.

She wore a magnificent red dress that seemed to be woven from flames.

Every movement caused the fabric to shimmer like fire dancing in the wind.

Her long crimson hair cascaded down her back, while a delicate yet imposing fiery crown rested upon her head.

Her beautiful features carried a natural boldness that made it difficult for anyone to mistake her for a timid woman.

She was confident.

She was proud.

And most importantly, she wasn’t afraid of anyone.

Before coming to Clear Moon City, the three goddesses had naturally investigated Lin Feng as thoroughly as possible.

They had gathered every piece of information they could find about the mysterious Medicine King.

They knew that Lin Feng possessed extraordinary medical abilities.

They knew that his cultivation was unfathomable.

And they also knew something else.

Lin Feng had quite a few beautiful women surrounding him.

The three sisters had therefore discussed the matter beforehand and concluded that Lin Feng was probably a man who valued beautiful women greatly.

The Flame Goddess was especially confident about this.

After all, she had lived for countless years and had long since become accustomed to men being captivated by her appearance.

Her beauty, cultivation, and status placed her far above ordinary women, and throughout her life, countless talented men had tried to win her favor.

So when she finally stood before Lin Feng, she deliberately made no effort to hide her confidence.

She expected his eyes to wander.

She expected him to be interested.

Perhaps she even expected him to become slightly flustered.

Instead...

Lin Feng simply looked directly into her eyes.

His gaze was calm and composed from beginning to end.

The Flame Goddess waited.

Nothing happened.

She subtly shifted her position.

Still nothing.

Her expression remained confident, but inwardly she was already becoming somewhat surprised.

Is this man really not interested in my appearance?

Her two sisters noticed the same thing and exchanged a quiet glance.

The Flame Goddess wasn’t someone who easily admitted defeat.

If her appearance wasn’t enough, she would simply take a more direct approach.

She stepped forward, her fiery aura flickering around her.

"I can give you everything if you give us what we want, Medicine King Lin Feng."

Her voice was bold and straightforward.

"I can give you treasures, resources, and anything else within my ability to obtain."

She paused before adding one final offer.

"I’ll even offer you my pure body."

The words were shocking enough that even her two sisters looked toward her.

The Flame Goddess had remained untouched throughout her extraordinarily long life.

Her purity was something countless cultivators had dreamed about but never had any chance of obtaining.

She knew exactly how valuable the offer was.

She had therefore expected Lin Feng to be tempted.

Perhaps he would accept immediately.

Perhaps he would negotiate.

Perhaps he would finally reveal some desire.

But Lin Feng’s response was completely different.

He simply shook his head.

"A transactional relationship isn’t love at all."

His words were quiet, yet they immediately silenced the room.

The Flame Goddess stared at him.

Lin Feng continued speaking with the same calm expression.

"When I choose someone to be my woman, I love her for who she is, not because of what she can give me."

He glanced at the three goddesses.

"If someone offers themselves to me because they want something in return, then what we have isn’t love. It’s simply a transaction."

The Flame Goddess was speechless.

She had prepared herself for almost every possible reaction except this one.

Her sisters were similarly surprised.

They had investigated Lin Feng and knew that he was surrounded by beautiful women, but perhaps they had misunderstood the reason.

Lin Feng wasn’t collecting women simply because they were beautiful.

At least, that wasn’t how he viewed the relationships that truly mattered to him.

The Flame Goddess narrowed her eyes.

"You’re rejecting me even after I offered you something that countless men would dream of obtaining?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly.

"Yes."

The answer was immediate.

There wasn’t even a moment of hesitation.

The Flame Goddess’s pride took a small hit.

Yet strangely enough, instead of becoming angry, she found herself even more curious about him.

She had expected a lustful Medicine King.

Instead, she had encountered a man who couldn’t apparently be swayed by beauty or temptation.

Her original plan had suddenly become much more difficult.

The Flame Goddess folded her arms and stared at Lin Feng for several breaths.

Interesting.

Perhaps this man was much harder to deal with than their intelligence reports had suggested.

And for the first time since arriving, the three goddesses realized that getting Lin Feng to change his mind might be far more difficult than they had anticipated.

Of course, the three goddesses had no intention of giving up so easily.

If beauty and temptation weren’t enough to move Lin Feng, then they would simply try something else.

The Sun Goddess stepped forward next.

"I can give you all of my treasures."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and opened her storage treasure.

Whoosh!

A dazzling radiance immediately filled the chamber.

Countless treasures appeared one after another, floating in the air like a miniature sea of precious artifacts.

There were rare spiritual medicines, ancient cultivation treasures, weapons, defensive artifacts, precious ores, immortal materials, and countless other items that ordinary cultivators might spend their entire lives searching for.

The sheer quantity was astonishing.

A being who had lived for millions of years naturally possessed an unimaginable accumulation of wealth.

And the Sun Goddess was no ordinary cultivator.

Her treasure trove was practically a world of its own.

"These are all yours if you agree to help us," she said confidently.

Her sisters remained silent, watching Lin Feng carefully.

They knew that even someone as powerful as Lin Feng would have difficulty ignoring such a mountain of treasures.

Yet Lin Feng merely glanced at the countless treasures before calmly shaking his head.

"Material things are temporary."

His voice remained indifferent.

"No matter how precious they are, they will eventually become meaningless. Treasures can be lost, destroyed, or replaced. They aren’t what I’m pursuing in this world. I search for something deeper and profound."

The Sun Goddess was stunned.

She slowly closed her storage treasure.

For someone who had accumulated wealth for millions of years, hearing someone dismiss her entire treasure collection so casually was quite an experience.

The three sisters exchanged another glance.

The Flame Goddess had already failed to tempt him with her beauty.

The Sun Goddess had failed to tempt him with wealth.

Now it was the Shadow Goddess’s turn.

The Shadow Goddess stepped forward.

Unlike her fiery sister and radiant sister, she carried a mysterious and tranquil aura.

Her dark robes seemed to blend with the surrounding shadows, making her appear even more elusive.

"I will owe you a favor," she said.

She paused before continuing.

"And if that isn’t enough, my sisters and I will serve you. You can command us whenever you need us. If you wish, we can remain by your side and serve you personally. We can be your bed slaves if you wish."

Her words were spoken without hesitation.

The three goddesses had clearly come prepared to pay an enormous price.

Lin Feng looked at the Shadow Goddess for several breaths.

Then his expression became slightly more serious.

"Is that person really worth what the three of you are offering?"

The question immediately changed the atmosphere.

The three goddesses fell silent.

They looked at one another.

There was no hesitation in their eyes.

The answer came simultaneously.

"That person has given us everything."

Their voices overlapped, carrying absolute conviction.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

For the first time, he became genuinely curious.

He had already understood that the three goddesses weren’t simply seeking something for themselves.

There was someone behind all of this.

Someone important enough that three Divine Tribulation Realm powerhouses were willing to empty their treasures, offer favors, and even humble themselves to obtain what they wanted.

Lin Feng leaned back slightly, studying the three women.

"Everything?"

The three nodded.

"Yes."

There was no hesitation.

No bargaining.

No regret.

Only gratitude.

That made Lin Feng even more curious about the mysterious person they were trying so desperately to help.

Still, Lin Feng had his own principles, and there were certain lines he would never cross regardless of what was offered to him.

The three goddesses wanted him to start a war.

That was something Lin Feng absolutely could not agree to.

War was an ugly thing.

Once it began, it was rarely possible to control how far it would spread.

Countless innocent people could become involved, cities could be destroyed, and countless cultivators could lose their lives.

Starting such a terrible conflict simply for the sake of one person was, in Lin Feng’s eyes, far too selfish.

Even if the three goddesses were willing to pay an enormous price, he couldn’t simply throw away his principles.

He still hasn’t taken any life yet in this world and he would want to keep it that way.

"I understand why the three of you are willing to do all of this," Lin Feng finally said. "But my answer remains the same. I won’t start a war for anyone."

The three goddesses fell silent.

Lin Feng sighed inwardly.

He had already expected this wouldn’t be an easy conversation, but he hadn’t expected them to be this stubborn.

"In that case, you should return. I have nothing more to discuss."

He waved his hand, clearly signaling that the meeting was over.

The three goddesses exchanged glances but didn’t argue.

Instead, they quietly left the courtyard.

Lin Feng thought the matter had finally been settled.

He was wrong.

A short while later, he sensed something unusual outside.

His divine sense swept toward the entrance, and his expression immediately became strange.

The three goddesses had stopped at the gates of his courtyard.

They whispered among themselves for several breaths, seemingly reaching a unanimous decision.

Then, without hesitation, all three turned toward the courtyard.

Thump!

They simultaneously dropped to their knees.

The surrounding cultivators who had been watching from a distance were immediately stunned.

"What are they doing?"

"The three goddesses actually knelt?"

"Are they really that determined?"

The commotion quickly spread throughout the surrounding area.

Inside his courtyard, Lin Feng couldn’t help but rub his temples.

He had a sudden headache.

"...This."

He stared at the three kneeling goddesses through his divine sense and could only sigh helplessly.

Beautiful women were always troublesome.

And these weren’t ordinary beautiful women.

They were three great powerhouses who had apparently decided that if they couldn’t convince him with reason, treasures, or promises, they would simply refuse to leave until he changed his mind.

Lin Feng looked toward the sky and sighed.

Why does helping people always become so complicated?
