Chapter 205: Queen

Chu Feng wandered around, turning left and right, his mind elsewhere.

If word got out that Chu Feng, the Demon King, a super king who had just broken four shackles, who had recently caused a stir in the West and flattened the Vatican's sacred city, was secretly attending a blind date, it would be a huge scandal.

His last blind date with Xia Qianyu had caused a big commotion, and even after a long time, he was still often teased about it by acquaintances.

This time, it would be even worse. If an acquaintance saw him here and blurted out that the dignified Dragon Slayer, fresh from his Western expedition, was at a blind date event, countless jaws would drop.

"No acquaintances should be here!" Chu Feng murmured to himself. He felt he couldn't be that unlucky and gradually relaxed, picking up a plate to choose some food.

Apparently, he was wrong. At the very least, Lu Shiyun was there, though he hadn't noticed her at the moment; she was on the other side.

In addition, Jiang Luoshen, who was definitely an acquaintance, had also arrived. If she saw him, they would certainly stare at each other in surprise.

Jiang Luoshen's beauty was flawless, truly captivating enough to be called a "national goddess."

At that moment, she wore a white fox mask, which made her appear even more enchanting. Her bright, watery eyes darted around. The woman accompanying her was not Xia Qianyu, but her aunt. They hadn't entered yet and were standing at the doorway.

Jiang Luoshen found it a bit strange. Her aunt wasn't usually so enthusiastic, yet today she had actively offered to accompany her for some fun, especially to this so-called masked blind date event. Was it really just for fun?

Jiang Luoshen suspected her family might actually be trying to find a suitable match for her.

"Luoshen, you go on in. Your aunt just got engaged, so it wouldn't be quite right for me to go in like this. I'll wait for you out here," Jiang Luoshen's aunt said with a smile. She had indeed come with a purpose!

Bodhi Gene, a colossal entity, was exceptionally well-informed. Having received important news in advance, they made this targeted arrangement, with Jiang Luoshen's aunt in charge.

"No, Auntie, you brought me here, so you have to come in with me. But we need to wait a bit; I just spoke with Qianyu, and she'll be here soon," Jiang Luoshen said.

Her aunt was speechless. She'd have to bring along an extra person!

Soon after, Xia Qianyu arrived, wearing a cute loli mask that made her look even more youthful and vibrant. She immediately teased Jiang Luoshen upon seeing her.

"Haha, Luoshen, you're really something! Are you in such a hurry to get married that you're coming to a blind date?"

Jiang Luoshen stood gracefully, eyeing her with a calm, beautiful gaze. With a smile and vibrant, seductive red lips, she said, "Aren't you coming too? Come on, let's go in and choose some male consorts for me. Let's see if there's anyone worth noticing!"

With that, she clasped her hands behind her back and strolled confidently inside, like a dashing young gentleman.

"Alright, Your Majesty!" Xia Qianyu giggled, then muttered softly, "Let's just hope we don't run into *that guy* again this time."

This blind date event was a bit unusual; it began almost like a dinner party, with various interactive activities planned for later. The venue was spacious enough for the single men and women to mingle freely.

Under the magnificent crystal chandeliers, a red carpet interwoven with gold threads formed intricate patterns, adding to the festive atmosphere. Groups of young men and women chatted and laughed, creating a lively scene at the blind date.

Some attendees, like Chu Feng, were not actively mingling. For instance, in a distant corner, a tall man wearing a white tiger mask stood lost in thought, holding a wine glass. Not far from him, a woman in white was elegantly enjoying food.

Chu Feng found an unoccupied table for himself, eating while observing the people around him.

Since everyone wore masks, their true faces were hidden. If one truly wanted to judge by appearance, they could only observe people's eyes and figures.

From an intuitive perspective, the men and women attending this blind date were of exceptionally high quality.

Some men, despite not having the best looks, possessed strong charisma and exceptional conversational skills, making them popular with women.

Conversely, some young men who considered themselves handsome were overly flamboyant and were met with disdain, proving less popular than a mature, steady middle-aged man nearby.

There were quite a few beautiful women. Although their faces were covered by masks, their excellent figures were undeniable, and combined with their ivory-like skin, they were indeed pleasing to the eye.

"Handsome brother, sitting alone?" The woman with the queen mask, whom he had met at the entrance, had made a round, been surrounded by many, but eventually returned and spotted Chu Feng.

"Were you waiting for me?" Chu Feng casually replied, undaunted by such situations and quite bold.

The beautiful woman with the queen mask hadn't expected the "quiet type" sitting alone in the corner eating to be somewhat slick; he wasn't what she had imagined.

She had intended to tease him, especially since his family was so narcissistic, claiming this was his exclusive blind date. Now, she was a bit unsure if she wanted to get involved.

"Haven't you had dinner?" The beautiful woman saw him still enjoying his food, with no intention of stopping, and couldn't help but hint at the nature of the event.

"No, I'm a bit hungry," Chu Feng replied naturally, showing no embarrassment, and motioned for her to get some too, suggesting they could eat and chat.

The beautiful woman frowned and gave him a sideways glance.

A very refined man approached, behaving gracefully, smiling as he gallantly asked the beautiful woman with the queen mask for a dance.

"Alright," she said, rising immediately. Her big eyes darted to Chu Feng, and seeing his indifference, she gave him a huge eye-roll.

"Why do I seem to be seeing that woman again?" Chu Feng gazed into the distance, catching a fleeting glimpse of a woman in a long black dress disappearing into the crowd.

He didn't approach, nor did he release his mental power to investigate. If she truly was an unparalleled expert who had broken six shackles, it would be best for him to observe naturally and see how things unfolded.

Although Chu Feng was very inactive, sitting quietly to the side, he still attracted the attention of a few people. Such composure, and not seizing opportunities, might appear to some as a sign of deep confidence.

Not long after, a petite and delicate woman approached, her big eyes fluttering with a smile. She greeted Chu Feng and naturally sat down beside him.

Chu Feng had finished his food and began chatting with her, a smile on his face. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

However, when the conversation turned to everyday matters, Chu Feng found his responses out of sync with the gentle and ambiguous atmosphere, making him feel quite inappropriate.

"Oh, you haven't worked since graduation? That's not good. A hero's origin doesn't matter, and a man can start from humble beginnings, but he absolutely cannot lack ambition. You're very disappointing."

The petite woman stood up, politely excused herself, and never returned, only occasionally glancing at him from a distance.

"I was just being honest, wasn't I? I really don't have a job, and I didn't want to lie, but I ended up being disliked," Chu Feng grumbled, feeling rather relieved.

His mind still elsewhere, he stood up. He couldn't just sit there all the time; even to complete his task, he needed to move around.

The place was full of beautiful women. As he walked and looked around, he truly found it pleasing to the eye and "cultivating for the soul"—in short, it was pleasant to behold!

Of course, if his mother found out he was so easily tempted, she would undoubtedly give him a good lecture and a stern scolding.

Chu Feng spotted a beautiful woman with long legs. This time, he was quite proactive, going over to ask her for a dance. He was fortunate not to be rejected.

At the very least, the few men who had approached her before him had all been politely turned down by the long-legged beauty.

Mainly, after he stood up, his figure appeared quite tall and handsome, and his skin was fair and clear, giving a very good first impression.

While the ultimate success of a blind date depended on inner compatibility, a good appearance was crucial for making a strong first impression.

The long-legged beauty asked Chu Feng if he mainly worked in Shuntian. This made Chu Feng conflicted again, wondering how best to answer.

Seeing his hesitation, the long-legged beauty was understanding and asked, "Are you from another city?"

"No, I'm a local, but I'm away from home most of the time, always traveling," Chu Feng replied honestly.

"Oh, so where do you usually go? Tell me about it. When I'm not busy with work, I also like to travel and explore," the long-legged beauty said with a bright smile.

Now that the anomalies were no longer rioting, things were relatively peaceful. At least, they weren't launching large-scale attacks on human settlements, and people were gradually adapting to their current lives.

"The places I often go are a bit remote and primitive, but truly magnificent. Majestic mountains pierce the clouds, silver waterfalls cascade for a thousand feet, giant beasts roar, and dozens-of-meter-long strange birds soar across the sky..."

Before Chu Feng could finish, the long-legged beauty started rolling her eyes. This person's words were too unreliable and off-key.

"Besides beauty treatments, I usually enjoy sports and fitness, like horseback riding and tennis. What about you?" the long-legged beauty asked, probing quite directly, with a hint of pride in her voice.

Chu Feng saw her like a proud little peacock, and his inner conflict and guilt immediately vanished. He naturally replied, "I love food, like grilled earth dragons and steamed white bears. I also enjoy sports, like riding wild beasts and galloping through the mountains. That feeling is incredibly exhilarating, free, and unconstrained. In fact, I've always wanted to ride on a beast king and travel around the world."

"What do you do for work?" the long-legged beauty asked, frowning, clearly displeased.

"I don't have a job yet," Chu Feng truthfully replied.

The long-legged beauty stared at him, pulled her hand away, ending the dance prematurely, and walked away, leaving him with a proud back.

Chu Feng wasn't bothered. Putting himself in her shoes, he'd have done the same, because a blind date prospect like him was too unreliable. What he said was completely at odds with the blind date atmosphere.

But this was the life he led. Hiding it now would only lead to more problems later. He was destined to have little overlap with the comfortable lives of ordinary people.

Subsequently, when interacting with other prospects, Chu Feng's responses became simple and blunt, no longer indirect or embellished.

For instance, when someone subtly asked about his daily life, Chu Feng fiercely replied, "In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the air is fresh, and the cries of apes and roars of tigers are constant companions."

The outcome was predetermined: the beautiful woman turned and walked away without a word, leaving him with her back.

"I like French cuisine, what about you?" a chestnut-haired woman asked with a smile when the topic turned to food.

"Dragon meat is the most delicious, golden lion meat is also a delicacy, and bear meat is just so-so," Chu Feng replied.

This instantly created an awkward silence. The chestnut-haired beauty gritted her teeth, picked up her bag, and clacked away on her high heels.

In this manner, Chu Feng cleared the room by speaking the brutal truth. No other women approached him, leaving the nearby men who had witnessed the entire scene utterly dumbfounded.

"Brother, you're truly formidable! You dismissed those beauties one by one, rejecting them sternly. Impressive, your standards are really high!"

"Brother, where do you work? You're too composed. Turning down all those stunning beauties one after another, I'm anxious for you! It's such a waste. Could it be that you're determined to win over that 'Queen'?"

The women had all been scared away by Chu Feng's blunt approach, but the nearby men grew increasingly curious and came closer.

"What queen?" Chu Feng asked, confused.

"Over there, that aloof 'Queen' in a flowing black gown. A whole group of successful men who consider themselves experienced have tried to approach her and all hit a wall. She hasn't smiled at anyone, or even spoken a word to anyone, yet."

Chu Feng looked over and saw that familiar back again. He frowned; the more he looked, the more alike she seemed. He didn't recklessly use his mental power to investigate or make any rash moves.

However, the woman had already sensed something and turned, walking toward him.

Although she wore a mask, she was still stunning. Her figure was exceptional, and her fair skin appeared even more radiant against the black dress. With her loose black hair, willow-like eyebrows, and phoenix eyes, she exuded an air of cold allure as she swayed gracefully towards him.

"Oh, she's coming over!" The man who had just been describing the "Queen in Black" became slightly excited.

Chu Feng felt a headache coming on. He was certain this was *that* person, the unparalleled expert who had broken six shackles. Why would she be here at a blind date event?

The black-dressed woman, resembling an aloof queen, her hair fluttering, approached gracefully and circled Chu Feng.

This drew glances from many around, especially the men, who were astonished. All of them had been rejected, yet now the "Queen in Black" was actively approaching a young man.

Some women also turned and watched in surprise.

In particular, the few beautiful women who had just interacted with Chu Feng showed peculiar expressions. They began to suspect if this guy was truly an extraordinary individual, and if his previous unreliability was merely a deliberate act of recklessness.
