Chapter 72: Mad for Love – Heartbeat Value

Gu Feng frowned, his gaze fixed on Feng Yulong. He was deeply irritated and angry at Feng Yulong’s incessant whining beside him. When Feng Yulong caught sight of Gu Feng’s furious eyes, his body shuddered with fear. Only the presence of Second Aunt nearby steadied his nerves.

Gu Feng advanced toward Feng Yulong, step by step. Intimidated by Gu Feng’s imposing aura, Feng Yulong retreated, hiding behind Feng Bilian. Drawing near, Gu Feng addressed Feng Bilian, “Your nephew is truly spineless.”

Feng Yulong grumbled inwardly, “Damn it, you’re only a bit stronger than me! If I were stronger, would you not fear me?”

Gu Feng shot Feng Yulong a look reserved for fools and sneered coldly, “Your Second Aunt is formidable, isn’t she? Do you see me afraid of her?”

Feng Yulong glanced helplessly at his Second Aunt, wishing desperately for her to teach Gu Feng a lesson.

Feng Bilian’s brows knitted tightly. She looked at Gu Feng and said, “Do you think that just because you hide your identity, I won’t dare to act against you?”

Driven by impulse, Gu Feng reached out and brushed aside the hair on Feng Bilian’s forehead.

Feng Bilian, stunned, did not evade.

The entire room froze at this intimate gesture, hearts racing as everyone watched in astonishment.

After this affectionate act, Gu Feng smiled and said, “It’s not that you don’t dare to act against me, but that you’re unwilling to.”

With that, he winked at Feng Bilian.

Feng Bilian stared at Gu Feng, her heartbeat quickening—a feeling she hadn’t experienced in decades, not since her first love.

She drew a deep breath and said, “Are you not afraid that I might kill you?”

Gu Feng boldly replied, “To love someone is to press forward without hesitation, to summon immense courage—even in the face of danger, to pursue fearlessly. Be my girlfriend!”

“What the...”

The members of the Feng family were dumbfounded.

The Xue family was practically blown away inside; they regarded Gu Feng as if he were some sort of monster—was he seriously pursuing Feng Bilian?

Never mind that Feng Bilian was already of considerable age, with a certain allure, but she was a master of the Feng family, married, and had a daughter. In fact, her daughter was older than Gu Feng, and she had grandchildren. Yet Gu Feng was pursuing her?

Feng Bilian had never imagined she’d encounter such a situation—being confessed to by a sixteen-year-old boy, eyes full of tender affection.

Feng Bilian reached out and touched Gu Feng’s forehead.

She only wanted to see if Gu Feng was ill.

To outsiders, her gesture seemed far too intimate.

“Could she be moved, ready to accept Gu Feng?”

The three women of the Gu Yan family were equally stunned and furious.

Xue Ziyan almost marched forward to reveal her relationship with Gu Feng, but she suppressed herself, determined to see what Gu Feng was up to.

“Ding! Special quest triggered: Pursue an older, married woman. The target’s affection level: 1%. When affection reaches 100%, reward: A complete premium ‘Mad for Love’ set.”

Gu Feng, who had only intended to play around, was stunned. Then he cursed aloud, “Damn, there’s a quest for this? A premium defense set, something you need points to buy—this is way too exciting!”

Gu Feng decided to risk everything to pursue Feng Bilian, all for the sake of the reward.

He gazed at Feng Bilian with heartfelt affection and called softly, “Bilian, be my girlfriend! I truly love you.”

The level of mushiness was almost unbearable.

After saying this, Gu Feng reached out and grasped Feng Bilian’s left hand.

Feng Bilian shuddered as if electrified, staring at Gu Feng in shock.

She had the ability to evade, but she didn’t. She herself didn’t know why.

Gu Feng saw the affection meter instantly jump to 8%.

He gently caressed Feng Bilian’s hand, subtly removing her original wedding ring. Then, he exchanged for a ring that, while not very useful, was ornate, beautiful, and sure to please any woman, and slipped it onto Feng Bilian’s finger.

The cool touch of the new ring made Feng Bilian’s heart race even faster as she gazed at its beauty.

Gu Feng’s heart soared—her affection had risen to 17%.

The Feng family finally snapped out of their daze.

Feng Zugang, the second-in-command of the Feng family—a senior elder with a second-level spirit master cultivation—was furious as he witnessed this scene.

He shouted angrily, “Feng Bilian, what are you doing?”

Feng Bilian’s body trembled; she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Gu Feng feigned regret and disappointment as he looked at her.

Feng Bilian, seeing Gu Feng’s expression, felt no anger.

Gu Feng saw hope in Feng Bilian’s eyes. His face lit up with joy, and he winked at her again.

In truth, Feng Bilian’s current husband had been crippled in a fight years ago, so she had been living like a widow for some time. Now, with Gu Feng’s bold confession, her heart was itching from desire.

Feng Zugang, seeing Gu Feng press his advantage, worried the situation would escalate and resolved to kill Gu Feng.

Suddenly, he charged at Gu Feng, roaring, “Die!”

The reception room was not large; a spirit master’s speed meant he was upon them in an instant.

Gu Feng’s reaction was astonishing.

He let out a loud cry, “Ah!” and darted behind Feng Bilian, tightly wrapping his arms around her slender waist in terror.

Feng Bilian’s body trembled violently; the sensation was one she had dearly missed.

Gu Feng saw the affection meter leap to 41%.

To further provoke Feng Bilian, Gu Feng imagined entanglements with Gu Yan, causing a reaction that pressed against Feng Bilian from behind.

This stimulation nearly made Feng Bilian cry out. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with longing. Her affection meter soared to 78%.

As he watched the affection value shoot up, Gu Feng felt as if he could already see the ‘Mad for Love’ set, thrilling him beyond measure.

Feng Zugang’s attack missed; he had never expected Gu Feng to react so quickly, nor that Gu Feng would take the opportunity to embrace Feng Bilian. But what truly enraged him was that Feng Bilian didn’t even try to evade.

Feng Yulong, still behind Feng Bilian, saw Gu Feng hugging his Second Aunt, her back exposed—a perfect opportunity. Drawing his sword, Feng Yulong stabbed at Gu Feng’s back.

Gu Feng cried out, “Perfect timing!” With a sharp scream, he darted to Feng Bilian’s front and embraced her tightly from the front.

Sensing the danger behind, Feng Bilian, breathing heavily, moved sideways with Gu Feng, easily evading the attack.

Gu Feng’s chest pressed firmly against Feng Bilian’s voluptuous bosom, and his lower body pushed so close that Feng Bilian was nearly drenched.

Feng Bilian’s cheeks flushed rosy like a young girl. Breathing in the masculine scent from Gu Feng, she gazed at him, eyes brimming with tender affection. She was moved—so long as she could find happiness, what did age matter?

Gu Feng was equally exhilarated; aside from the affection meter reaching 91%, he too was truly moved by the intimate contact, gazing at Feng Bilian with genuine desire—not just an act, but a real yearning to possess her.

Without thinking, Gu Feng kissed Feng Bilian.
