168: The cabbage is about to be eaten.

"Brother-in-law, I don't even know how to thank you."

Hearing this, Feng Ming said with a smile, "What's so hard about that? Just give me a kiss."

As he spoke, he deliberately pointed to his cheek.

If he could get a kiss from both sisters in one night, he would be ecstatic.

"Huh?"

Lu Qianqian looked bewildered upon hearing this. "Isn't that inappropriate? And if you do this, you'll be letting down my Older Sister."

Hearing Lu Qianqian's righteous words, Feng Ming was immediately amused.

"You certainly have the nerve to lecture me. If it weren't for your sister's Face, would I have helped you?"

"Let me put it this way: for something this good, if it were anyone else, forget a kiss—they wouldn't refuse even if I asked them to lick me all over."

"Besides, I've given so much, what have you given? I'm not your sister, so I don't have that much psychological burden. Moreover, don't you like me? I don't dislike you either. Are you seriously not going to try dating me?"

"Honestly, some benefits aren't gained by signing a deed of sale; you have to truly become my woman."

Feng Ming wasn't just teasing Lu Qianqian; after all, the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art works better during Dual Cultivation.

This kind of pleasure is something Jiang Shuwan cannot experience.

Lu Qianqian's Face flushed crimson upon hearing this, astonished that Feng Ming could speak such shameless words.

Feng Ming shrugged. "What's wrong? It's not like we haven't kissed before?"

In Lu Qianqian's mind, the things she did that day in the City Lord's Mansion to prevent Feng Ming from being exposed instantly surfaced.

Her Face immediately red, she stiffened her neck and said, "Fine, a kiss is a kiss. Who's afraid?"

It was just a kiss on the cheek, after all. Besides, she had indeed received immense benefits, and the person she was kissing was someone she liked, so it wasn't unacceptable.

Lu Qianqian didn't hesitate, closing her eyes and leaning in for the kiss.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ming deliberately turned his head at that moment, and Lu Qianqian's kiss landed directly on his lips.

Lips and teeth collided, and Lu Qianqian was completely stunned.

At this moment, alone with him, and after that kiss, Lu Qianqian suddenly didn't know what to do.

How could Feng Ming care about all that? His goal was achieved, and he wouldn't give Lu Qianqian a chance to escape.

He held her tightly with both hands, completely ignoring Lu Qianqian's struggles.

Instead, under Feng Ming's aggressive 'strategy,' Lu Qianqian was already showing signs of succumbing.

In the end, she lost all resistance.

After a long time, Feng Ming reluctantly released Lu Qianqian, who had forgotten how to breathe.

"Don't tell me—even though they are sisters, the taste is different."

Lu Qianqian was currently immersed in shyness.

Suddenly hearing Feng Ming's words, she was completely stunned.

"What did you say? Did you just kiss my Older Sister too?"

"Feng Ming, you big pervert."

Lu Qianqian raised her hand to hit Feng Ming, but he grabbed her wrist.

Feng Ming said with a smile, "That's right, but I can take responsibility for you."

Lu Qianqian was furious. "Who wants you to take responsibility?"

After speaking, she struggled free from Feng Ming.

Feng Ming laughed. "You don't need it? That's fine too, that's great! Then let me kiss you for a bit longer."

Lu Qianqian quickly jumped away, putting distance between herself and Feng Ming, her eyes turning red.

Ah, heck, she cried.

Feng Ming awkwardly rubbed his nose, realizing he had taken the joke too far.

He comforted her, "Alright, I was just teasing you. Life is short, why make things so difficult for yourself? Your Older Sister doesn't mind, so why are you clinging to this?"

Lu Qianqian glared at Feng Ming. "You're the beneficiary, of course you'd say that. But my Older Sister, I can't let her down."

"Teasing me behind my Older Sister's back—do you truly have no psychological burden at all?"

Feng Ming was truly speechless. "Cultivators, especially Sword Cultivators, always Cultivate for mental clarity and Unobstructed Thoughts. Yet you are stuck here unable to figure this out. If this continues, I don't think you will achieve much, even if I help you."

Lu Qianqian was startled.

Indeed.

A Sword Cultivator Cultivates freedom from restraint and mental clarity.

She, however, was trapped in romantic attachments, constantly worrying about letting down her Older Sister. Over time, this would inevitably breed a Heart Demon.

If that happened, how could she achieve greatness?

"But..."

Feng Ming walked over and patted her shoulder. "Relax. Me being with your sister doesn't affect how good I am to you. Besides, your Older Sister doesn't mind. You don't have to treat me as your Brother-in-law."

"Just treat me as a man you like, except I already have two wives. If you are willing, then be with me. If not, I won't force you."

"I admit I have feelings for you, and I know you are conflicted. I won't force you, but I won't wait for you forever either."

Feng Ming glanced at the sky. "After the Liangzhou Trial, perhaps we will meet again, but perhaps we will be separated forever, never to see each other again. You should ask your own heart."

After Feng Ming finished speaking, he walked forward, seemingly having no intention of waiting for Lu Qianqian.

Lu Qianqian's expression, however, was deeply moved.

The thought that she might never see Feng Ming again after the Liangzhou Trial made her feel terrible.

Moreover, Feng Ming was destined to soar high in the future and wouldn't stay in a small place.

She could either choose to stand beside him or stay where she was, looking up and reminiscing.

But the latter—was she willing?

Clearly, she was not willing.

So, she hesitated. "Although what you said makes sense, you can't do that right in front of Feng Da... He saw everything behind us."

Knowing Lu Qianqian's awkwardness, Feng Ming didn't take it seriously and deliberately asked, "Feng Da, did you see that?"

From about ten meters behind, Feng Da's bewildered voice came over.

"Young Master, what are you saying? See what? There's nothing here."

Lu Qianqian was speechless. "Indeed, like master, like servant—shameless."

Feng Ming continued to ask, "Feng Da, Miss Lu praised you, did you hear that?"

Feng Da's voice was filled with joy. "No, I didn't. How did she praise me?"

Lu Qianqian looked exasperated. "Forget it, I'm done talking to you two. I'm going back to the Sect for Secluded Cultivation."

Feng Ming nodded. "I'll have Feng Da escort you back. Once your Physique changes, I'll take you to the thunder tablet to Comprehend it. You might gain something."

Lu Qianqian nodded; she had the same idea.

She had thought Feng Ming would escort her back, but unexpectedly, he wasn't going.

"Where are you going?"

"I have something to handle. I'm going to the Auction House first."

Lu Qianqian didn't ask further. After all, it was Feng Ming's private matter, and she hadn't yet gotten over her emotional hurdle.

As soon as Feng Ming saw Lu Qianqian off, he turned and headed straight for the Auction House.

He had no choice. Since he discovered a System bug, he naturally had to find a way to snag the reward.

The sooner, the better.

Where the three had parted ways, Ye Feng stood there, looking helpless.

He sighed and muttered, "City Lord, should I tell you this news? If I do, will you be able to handle it?"

"All your little cabbages have been taken—and by the same person."
