114: I really like your appearance.

Hua Dieer's reaction made Feng Ming laugh.

He thought to himself, "As expected, people are competitive; men and women are all the same."

Hua Dieer discovered that the charm she was so proud of was useless against him, so she changed tactics, switching from passive to active, and actually started flirting with him.

But she didn't know that if even her charm was useless, how could he be bewitched by mere appearances?

Feng Ming raised his hand, grabbed Hua Dieer's arm, and gave it a tug.

He pulled her completely into his embrace.

The two of them locked eyes, their faces nearly touching.

Feeling Feng Ming's firm chest, Hua Dieer's pretty face turned red instantly.

"Young Master Feng, you!"

For a moment, Hua Dieer didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Feng Ming smiled and said, "Don't bother trying; I told you it wouldn't work. However, I quite like the way you seduce me."

Upon hearing this, Hua Dieer's pretty face turned even redder. She hurriedly broke free from Feng Ming's arm and sat back in her seat.

To hide her embarrassment, Hua Dieer quickly took a sip of water, feeling incredibly sullen.

She couldn't figure out how Feng Ming did it; her Innate Charm Body had absolutely no effect on him.

Hua Dieer really couldn't understand it.

This was the first time in her life she had suffered a setback, the first time a man hadn't been bewitched by her.

The key was that it was a man, which made her start doubting herself.

Could it be that her Charm Body was fake? Or was her charm simply not that strong?

But obviously, the doubts in her heart would not be answered today.

After a while, once Hua Dieer had calmed down, she said, "What do you want from me? Just say it."

Since they had reached the main topic, Feng Ming didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

"I want a Pill Formula for a Grade 4 enlightenment pill, as well as the herbs for thirty enlightenment pills."

Hua Dieer nodded. "No problem. It seems your strength has reached the point of an imminent Breakthrough."

"People outside are all attracted by the low-priced Medicinal Pills from your Family, but no one notices just how exaggerated the speed of your cultivation improvement is as the Second Young Master."

"According to what I know, it's only been about half a month since you married Jiang Shuwan, yet you've gone from the third level of the Qi Refinement Stage directly to the Peak Foundation Establishment Stage."

"This talent is truly terrifying; even I must admit I am inferior."

Feng Ming smiled. "Miss Dieer, you don't need to flatter me; after all, this has nothing to do with what I want to know."

Hua Dieer nodded. "Fine, we have what you want. Like before, we will charge the cost price and labor fees."

"Consider it a fair exchange. Besides that, what else do you want?"

Hua Dieer asked.

Although a Grade 4 Pill Formula and the herbs were very precious, compared to what Feng Ming had given them, it was still a bit light.

If Feng Ming wanted anything else, and if it was appropriate, she could make the decision to gift him a few more items.

Feng Ming smiled. "I don't have much interest in anything else, but there is one thing I must buy tonight!"

"What is it?"

Hua Dieer asked curiously.

Feng Ming smiled and picked up an auction catalog from the table.

He pointed to the last auction item on it.

"This!"

"The Nascent Soul Destruction Formation!"

When Hua Dieer saw the name of that auction item, she immediately realized what it was.

"You want to use this Formation to deal with the Huangfu Family?"

Feng Ming did not deny this question.

He did indeed need to use this item to deter the Huangfu Family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to part with those ten million Spirit Stones.

Hua Dieer sighed. "If you had taken a fancy to something else, I could have made the call to gift it to you or give you a discount."

"But the price of this Formation was set by those above; I cannot make the decision, and I can't even offer a single bit of a discount."

"Besides, this is the starting bid. Although this item might not sell, even if you buy it, it might not be easy to use. It costs one million Spirit Stones to provide the spiritual power for a single use. Can you afford that?"

Although this was Hua Dieer's first time dealing with Feng Ming.

She was a merchant, so figuring out the situation of a Family was not a problem at all.

She could basically guess the assets of the Feng Family with high accuracy.

The Feng Family could barely afford this Nascent Soul Destruction Formation if they poured all their resources into it.

But the problem was that being able to buy it didn't mean they could afford to use it. Two million per use—without a deep Family foundation, they simply couldn't support it.

The Feng Family had just arrived in Qingyang City, and their Medicinal Pill business hadn't even taken off yet.

If it was truly just to deter the Huangfu Family, Hua Dieer felt this ten-million Spirit Stone Formation wasn't worth it.

Feng Ming nodded. "You're right. If we forced ourselves to buy it, the Feng Family certainly couldn't afford it, but as you said, it's highly likely it won't sell, right?"

Hearing this, Hua Dieer immediately had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next second, Feng Ming's voice sounded again.

"Miss Dieer, if no one really buys this thing, I wonder if you could make a deal with me?"

"What kind of deal?" Hua Dieer asked, looking curious.

"I will pay to buy it, then sell it back to you at an eighty-percent discount, and later I will pay one hundred Spirit Stones daily to rent it, for a period not exceeding one year."

"Of course, during this period, you need to announce to the public that I was the one who bought this Formation. It cannot be sold within one year; after a year, you can do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Hua Dieer understood Feng Ming's calculations.

It was truly vicious!

This guy was clearly planning to pull the rug out from under them, cutting off any thoughts the Huangfu Family had of dealing with their Feng Family.

After all, the greatest advantage of this Formation was that as long as one was in the Nascent Soul Stage, regardless of their level, there was no possibility of survival under the Formation.

As for the Huangfu Family at present, even their strongest head, Huangfu He, was only at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage; if he went, he would just be courting death.

Once Feng Ming possessed this Formation, it meant he would be immune to threats from the Huangfu Family.

As long as they were within the coverage of the Formation, the people of the Feng Family would be absolutely safe.

No one dared to doubt the power of the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation!

The reason Feng Ming wanted to buy it first and then sell it to them, rather than choosing to rent it directly.

The main difference was the magnitude of the matter!

Feng Ming personally buying the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation, with that massive sum of ten million Spirit Stones, would be enough to cause a sensation in Qingyang City.

By then, the news that Feng Ming possessed the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation would be known throughout the city.

At that time, if the people of the Huangfu Family wanted to move against the Feng Family, they would have to weigh things carefully and see if they still dared to barge into the Feng Family.

And as for Feng Ming, he only paid two million Spirit Stones and the daily rent to solve the survival problem of the Feng Family in Qingyang City.

This deal was simply too cost-effective.

Let's put it this way: once the Feng Family's Medicinal Pill business opened, there was no telling how much profit they would make.

What Feng Ming wanted was the effect of making them hesitate to act, to buy time for the Feng Family to gain a firm foothold.

Once they had gained a firm foothold, Feng Ming would have plenty of ways to deal with the Huangfu Family.

Thinking of this, Hua Dieer couldn't help but gasp.
