Song Wen smiled lightly, "These intimate garments are all designed by me personally, and made by a skilled seamstress. Do they meet Elder Chen's approval?"

The storage bag contained over a dozen sets of intimate clothing. Song Wen had drawn the designs based on memories from his past life and had them sewn.

The lingerie from the previous life, though not overly extravagant, was unique in style and thus stood out.

This was a collision between two different worlds, a merging of cultures.

"They're so beautiful and novel," Chen Feihe said with glowing eyes, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement.

He withdrew his attention from the storage bag and once again focused on Song Wen.

His wariness of Song Wen had vanished, replaced entirely by admiration. It was akin to a novice encountering a master in the industry.

Chen Feihe no longer had any doubts about Song Wen's preferences. If it weren't for an extreme fondness for cosmetics, how could a man come up with such innovative lingerie designs?

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're exceptionally talented to have conceived such novel styles. Chen is truly impressed."

"I'm glad Elder Chen likes them. Consider these little trinkets as a gift from me to you."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is willing to give these to me?" Chen Feihe said, delighted.

Song Wen replied, "Of course. It's rare to meet someone like Elder Chen with similar interests. I wouldn't be stingy. If these items can bring a bit of joy to you and your partner, it's worth it."

"Then I won't refuse. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Chen Feihe happily tucked the storage bag into his bosom.

The two then continued discussing cosmetics.

In recent days, Song Wen had sought advice from women in brothels and brushed up on makeup skills, combining this with some knowledge from his previous life. He was able to manage well enough to avoid arousing Chen Feihe's suspicion.

During their conversation, Chen Feihe seemed somewhat distracted.

He suddenly shifted the topic, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, how about we book a room and try out those intimate garments you designed?"

Song Wen felt a shiver of disgust at the suggestion and his heart chilled!

No wonder Chen Feihe's interest seemed low during their earlier conversation—he had been fixated on those dozen or so sets of lingerie.

The thought of two men in a room trying on women's lingerie filled Song Wen with a sense of revulsion.

Song Wen showed a troubled expression and said, "Let's skip that. It would be better for Elder Chen to take the garments home and enjoy them with your partner."

Chen Feihe didn't think much of it, assuming that since this was their first meeting and they were not yet familiar, Song Wen was hesitant.

"My apologies for my rashness. I'll take my leave now. We'll talk more next time," Chen Feihe said, somewhat impatiently.

Song Wen stood up, smiling, "Then let's part ways today. We'll talk again another day. By the way, could Elder Chen give me a communication jade slip for easier contact?"

Chen Feihe slapped his forehead in realization, "How could I forget to exchange communication jade slips with Fellow Daoist Zhang? Please forgive me."

After exchanging jade slips, Chen Feihe quickly headed back to the Corpse Demon Peak.

Watching Chen Feihe's urgent departure, Song Wen couldn't help but think.

"Let's hope he doesn't suffer too much during his visits to the restroom in the next few days..."

Four Days Later.

Song Wen received a message from Chen Feihe and they arranged to meet again at the Spring Breeze Pavilion.

When Song Wen saw Chen Feihe, his face was flushed, but he walked with a bit of a limp.

Song Wen sighed inwardly, realizing that the Golden Core ancestor was indeed formidable, as even a Foundation Establishment cultivator's robust body couldn't withstand it.

Upon meeting, Chen Feihe sincerely thanked Song Wen.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the intimate garments you designed are truly wonderful. I haven't left my residence for the past few days."

Song Wen responded somewhat awkwardly, "I'm glad Elder Chen and your partner like them. Is there something specific you need?"

Chen Feihe's expression suddenly grew a bit uneasy as he spoke softly.

"Today, I came to ask if Fellow Daoist Zhang has any other novel designs."

Song Wen's face showed a hint of difficulty, "There are indeed some, but can Elder Chen's body handle them?"

Chen Feihe's elegant face smiled, showing a hint of shyness. Shifting to ease his pain, he was only half-sitting on the edge of the chair.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, it's nothing. I have healing elixirs."

Song Wen couldn't help but admire Chen Feihe a little.

Indeed, every cultivation path has its difficulties. Even being close to a Golden Core ancestor came with its share of hardship.

Chen Feihe took the storage bag from Song Wen, checked its contents with his divine sense, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Once again, it was a novel and unusual design he had never seen before!

After chatting for a while and expressing repeated thanks, Chen Feihe joyfully took the storage bag and left.

Song Wen also turned and went back to his cave residence.

The storage bag he gave Chen Feihe contained various role-play costumes, including maid outfits, bunny girl outfits, fox girl outfits...

Now, Chen Feihe had mostly set aside his wariness of Song Wen. If they interacted a few more times, Song Wen could find a way to obtain the Elder Token from him.

However, the world is always full of surprises.

Upon returning to his cave, Song Wen saw an unexpected visitor.

It was Shi Shou!

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who had brought him into the Corpse Demon Sect.

Song Wen had always considered him the greatest threat.

Shi Shou looked at the completely darkened sky with a cold smile.

"Ji Yin, you've kept me waiting."

Song Wen's heart raced with caution. His eyes fixed on Shi Shou as he quickly thought of a response.

Whether to fight or flee would expose his real strength. A Foundation Establishment cultivator pretending to be a Qi Refining Fifth Layer outer sect disciple would surely cause the Corpse Demon Sect's higher-ups to speculate extensively. At that point, he might not even be able to leave the sect's territory.

If he didn't flee, how likely was it that he could survive against Shi Shou?

After much consideration, Song Wen decided to feign weakness and look for an opportune moment to act.

From Song Wen's perception, Shi Shou was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Though stronger than himself at the start of Foundation Establishment, Shi Shou's strength was still limited, and Song Wen still had a fighting chance.

Moreover, whether Shi Shou was planning or merely coincidental, there was a significant opportunity to defeat him.

Resolving his thoughts, Song Wen's face showed a surprised expression.

"Disciple Ji Yin greets Elder Shi. It's been years since we last met, and Elder Shi's demeanor remains as impressive as ever."

Shi Shou was unmoved by Song Wen's flattery, his face remaining cold with a sneer.

"Ji Yin, you've hidden quite well."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen was startled.

Could Shi Shou have already discovered his true strength?

This was impossible! Even Golden Core cultivators couldn't see through his hidden strength; how could a Foundation Establishment cultivator do so?

While Song Wen was still in doubt, Shi Shou continued.

"The soul aura of Du Qiu, who remained in the sect, has dissipated. This matter must be related to you, right?"

Hearing Shi Shou's words, Song Wen felt slightly relieved, realizing that Shi Shou hadn't discovered his secret but only knew about Du Qiu's death and was probing him.

Song Wen had dealt with Du Qiu's death very cleanly, confident that no one could have discovered it.

If it had been discovered, the one coming for him wouldn't be Shi Shou but the Corpse Demon Sect's Law Enforcement Hall.

Song Wen feigned surprise, "What! Senior Brother Du Qiu is dead? He was always kind to me, often visiting and guiding my cultivation."

"Senior Brother Du Qiu was so young. How could he die? It's truly a case of heaven envying talent!"

As he spoke of his sorrow, Song Wen's face was filled with grief and sadness.

Shi Shou remained cold, seemingly seeing through Song Wen's feigned performance.

After a moment, seeing that Shi Shou did not respond, Song Wen continued.

"Elder Shi, please understand, I am only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. How could I be a match for Senior Brother Du Qiu? He was an inner sect disciple with at least Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivation."
