Chapter 489 Your Flying Sword is Fast, But My 15 Inches Dao is Faster
The snake mark’s influence was incomparably stronger now that it had attached itself to Lin Feng directly.
In a single instant, every nerve in his body reacted.
Lin Feng’s breathing grew heavier for a brief moment as a powerful temptation attempted to invade his mind completely.
Countless distracting thoughts surged forth endlessly, trying to shake his focus and self-control.
Any ordinary cultivator would have immediately lost themselves to desire under such influence.
But Lin Feng was no ordinary cultivator.
He was the owner of a multiverse. His willpower was as firm as an eternal mountain.
After several tense breaths, his eyes regained their usual clarity.
The temptation no longer controlled his mind.
However, the side effects lingering within his body were another matter entirely.
Lin Feng slowly looked downward before his expression became slightly awkward.
Despite suppressing the curse mentally, his body had still reacted intensely.
His yang spear remained fully hardened, refusing to soften no matter how much divine energy he circulated.
It was as rigid as divine steel.
Lin Feng tried several methods in quick succession, but none of them worked.
The snake mark continued releasing strange waves of energy throughout his body.
"A troublesome predicament indeed..." Lin Feng mused inwardly.
Even Chu Shuran noticed his unusual state and immediately realized what had happened.
Her beautiful face reddened even further as she lowered her gaze awkwardly.
"Master Lin Feng... are you alright?" she asked softly.
Lin Feng gave a calm cough before regaining his composed expression.
"It is nothing serious," he replied. "The mark’s effects are merely lingering for now."
Though his voice remained steady, he knew the truth internally.
The snake mark was far more mysterious than he originally believed.
Even after transferring it onto himself, he could not completely unravel its secrets immediately.
For now, he could only temporarily endure its influence while studying it carefully at a later time.
Still, one thing was certain.
Whatever created this snake mark was definitely no ordinary existence.
Lin Feng released a long, deep breath before slowly straightening his posture once more.
The room, which had been filled with tension moments ago, gradually calmed down.
Even so, the lingering effects of the snake mark still pulsed faintly within his body like embers hidden beneath ashes.
He silently circulated his divine energy, suppressing the strange heat as much as possible.
Although his expression remained calm and composed, he understood very clearly just how dangerous the snake mark truly was.
"If even my body reacted this strongly..." Lin Feng thought inwardly, "then Chu Shuran must have suffered far more than she showed."
His gaze drifted toward her.
Chu Shuran stood a short distance away, trying her best to regain her composure.
Her breathing was finally stabilizing little by little, though traces of embarrassment still lingered on her delicate face.
A faint rosy hue colored her cheeks beautifully while loose strands of hair clung lightly to her skin from perspiration.
Even after enduring such an ordeal, her elegance remained intact.
If anything, her vulnerable appearance only made her seem even more beautiful than before.
Lin Feng could tell she was trying hard to hide the evidence of how much the snake mark had affected her.
She adjusted her robes carefully and smoothed her appearance with graceful movements, attempting to restore the dignified image she normally carried.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mei looked between the two of them with obvious relief.
Her admiration toward Lin Feng had already reached a frightening level.
In her eyes, there seemed to be nothing this mysterious and handsome man could not accomplish.
A few moments later, Chu Shuran finally gathered herself completely.
She stepped forward elegantly before bowing respectfully toward Lin Feng.
"Thank you for healing me, Master Lin Feng," Chu Shuran said sincerely.
Her voice carried genuine gratitude and emotion. "This kindness... I will never forget it for as long as I live."
For the first time in many days, she felt true relief.
The tormenting heat that constantly plagued her body had finally disappeared.
Her mind felt clear again, and the burden weighing upon her soul was gone.
Lin Feng had not only saved her physically but had also preserved her dignity.
Beside her, Qiao Mei quickly stepped forward as well.
Her eyes sparkled brightly as she looked at Lin Feng almost like a young girl admiring a legendary hero.
"Master Lin Feng is truly incredible!" she said excitedly. "You cured something even the Chu Clan could do nothing about!"
Lin Feng merely smiled faintly and waved his hand casually.
"It was nothing," he replied calmly. "Helping others has always been one of my greatest pleasures."
His voice remained steady and dignified, perfectly fitting the image of a supreme expert.
However, only a second later, the atmosphere changed strangely.
Lin Feng noticed that both women had suddenly gone quiet.
Neither Chu Shuran nor Qiao Mei responded immediately.
Instead, their eyes seemed fixed downward with increasingly complicated expressions.
Lin Feng blinked once before finally realizing the problem.
Despite suppressing the curse mentally, the side effects on his body remained painfully obvious.
Beneath his robes, the outline of his lower body was impossible to ignore.
The transferred snake mark continued releasing waves of heat through him, and no matter how much divine energy he circulated, the reaction stubbornly refused to fade.
Lin Feng gave a light cough.
For perhaps the first time in a long while, even he felt slightly awkward.
"There is no need to misunderstand," Lin Feng said calmly, pretending not to notice their expressions. "The snake mark has merely transferred onto me temporarily. Once I fully analyze it, I should be able to remove its influence entirely within a few days."
Even as he explained himself, neither woman could completely stop their thoughts from wandering.
Qiao Mei’s innocent eyes widened subtly.
"Can a man really be... that big?" she thought blankly.
Her face grew hotter by the second.
She was still inexperienced in such matters, and the sight before her had completely shattered many of her naive assumptions.
In all her life, she had never imagined such a thing was even possible.
Meanwhile, Chu Shuran was equally shaken, though her thoughts were far more mature.
"He’s actually bigger than my husband..." she thought with disbelief.
