165: Immortal-grade sword body!

Lu Qianqian was naturally willing to marry Feng Ming, but Feng Ming was her brother-in-law after all.

She still had some trouble getting past that mental hurdle.

"Right, right, you guys should try signing a deed of sale. Anyway, I can't Cultivate, so enjoying this effect is useless for me. It's better to let Qianqian try it."

Feng Ming nodded.

"Theoretically, that's how it works, but we'll have to try to see if it actually functions. And Xiao Qian, have you truly made up your mind?"

"Anan, you too, have you thought it through? Fate is a matter of chance followed by destiny. Once a deed of sale is signed, in the dark, heaven will have its say. If in the future, Xiao Qian and I develop feelings for each other just like you and I have, can you accept that?"

Hearing this, Lu An'an laughed. "What's there for me not to accept? Sister Shuwan could even magnanimously accept me, a complete stranger, and sincerely facilitate this. Xiao Qian is my sister, so how could I not accept her?"

Lu Qianqian shook her head. "Sister, this won't do. I can't compete with you. Brother-in-law will always be my brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Feng Ming said irritably, "Now you know I'm your brother-in-law? You've shown quite a bit of affection for me. Did you really think your sister and I couldn't tell?"

"You!"

"Sister, I..."

Lu Qianqian's feelings were exposed in public, and her face turned crimson. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Lu An'an smiled and patted her back. "Silly girl, I'm your sister. I saw through your feelings long ago, and I even mentioned this to Young Master Feng."

"As long as you are willing and Young Master Feng is willing, I have no objections."

"I..."

Lu Qianqian was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

Lu An'an laughed. "Alright, from childhood to now, the style and colors of things we like have always been similar. It's only normal that we'd choose the same man."

"Besides, your brother-in-law meets our criteria for a partner: he's strong, responsible, has an interesting Soul, and loves us. It would be strange if you didn't like someone I could love."

Lu Qianqian lowered her head in embarrassment. Indeed, since they were young, she and her sister had always liked the same things.

She never expected that one day they would fall in love with the same man.

Lu An'an continued, "Xiao Qian, remember, cultivation is different from emotions. Many favored children of heaven die young, and many ordinary cultivators fight until they're bloodied for just a bit of Opportunity."

"You and Young Master Feng are just signing a deed of sale; it's not a difficult thing. If you didn't like him, I wouldn't force you."

"But since you like him so much, isn't this a massive Opportunity?"

Lu Qianqian said helplessly, "Sister, he is your man. He's a person, not the clothes or toys we liked when we were little. I can't..."

Lu An'an was out of options and turned her gaze to Feng Ming.

Receiving Lu An'an's plea for help, Feng Ming smiled and said, "I'm happy for your sister that you think this way. However, even if you don't sign a contract with me, can you really keep your distance and forget me? Besides, are you sure you can control yourself over this coming year?"

"Most importantly, the Great Competition is approaching. If you don't hurry and improve yourself, you might not even have a spot in the Sect's top ten. At the very least, Shuwan and I will take two spots, and Huangfu Rui will definitely take one."

"Of the remaining seven, I'll find a way to grab one for my Eldest Brother. Huangfu Jing is also likely to take one. With only five left, are you sure you'll have a chance?"

Feng Ming didn't say much more, only adding calmly, "Matters of the heart depend on fate. If there is no fate, even if one marries and has children, it will only end in separation. But for those destined to be together, no matter how they miss each other, they will eventually meet."

"Instead of agonizing over this, you'd be better off cherishing the current Opportunity to improve your strength. Let things between us take their natural course."

Having said that, Feng Ming spoke no more.

How to decide would be up to Lu Qianqian herself.

Feng Ming watched the two sisters quietly. In reality, he understood that although they were biological sisters with identical childhood hobbies,

as they grew older, one had a bit of talent while the other was unable to Cultivate, leading to differences in their personalities.

One lived transparently, understanding the cruelty of the world and able to calmly accept anything.

The other had been pampered since childhood and could not accept certain blunt social realities.

In the past, Feng Ming would have been the same—a young student in his prime, full of vigor and grand ideas.

But after graduating and entering society, he became a mere beast of burden.

However, everything requires a process and time; she would grow up soon enough.

The current Lu Qianqian was in just such a stage.

There was a moment of silence.

After a mental struggle, Lu Qianqian finally chose to sign the deed of sale.

At least this way, she wouldn't have to bear the infamy of stealing her sister's husband.

She could also gain benefits from Feng Ming.

In truth, she was overthinking it. Others didn't care about such things at all; otherwise, if the news of Feng Ming marrying his Sister-in-law got out,

they wouldn't be able to live with themselves.

Ultimately, Lu Qianqian just couldn't get past her own psychological barrier.

Feng Ming, on the other hand, was very excited. Marrying a Sister-in-law was definitely a wonderful thing.

And it truly was.

Lu Qianqian thought to herself that she would take it one step at a time and deal with later matters as they came.

If things really reached that point, she could only accept her fate.

If they didn't, she could be at peace and wouldn't have to feel guilty toward her sister.

Feng Ming had no psychological burden whatsoever. A pair of sisters like Ehuang and Nüying—it couldn't be better.

So he didn't need to make a choice at all.

As long as everyone was willing, everything was fine.

At least for now, Jiang Shuwan wouldn't object, and Lu An'an was willing.

Why would he care?

Besides, it wasn't that he didn't like Lu Qianqian. It might not be love yet, but he definitely had feelings for her.

The fact that Lu Qianqian liked him was already a reality.

He wasn't taking her by force!

A pair of sisters delivered to his door—it would be a waste not to take them!

The deed of sale was written, and Feng Ming and Lu Qianqian took turns pressing their handprints onto it.

Next was waiting for the System's judgment to see if this counted for Lu Qianqian.

Feng Ming was also uncertain. "I'll say this upfront: it worked for your sister, but I don't know if it'll work for you. If the deed of sale doesn't work, you'll still have to marry me."

Lu Qianqian nodded, feeling very nervous.

Minutes passed.

Fortunately, Feng Ming soon received the feedback voice from the System.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully marrying a wife. Wife Lu Qianqian's current favorability is 50%!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining System rewards: The second layer effect of the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art has increased to 21 times, one immortal grade sword body modification pill, and one Heaven Grade Physique modification manual.]

Feng Ming, who had been incredibly worried, instantly felt relieved the moment the System's voice sounded.

He hadn't expected that signing a deed of sale would be defaulted by the System as marrying a wife.

If that was the case...
