17: So touching, only ten points short!

"As expected of the Chaos Scripture, it complements my Chaos Body perfectly. It can comprehend the ten thousand Dao and Cultivate Chaos True Qi, acting as a universal supplement."

"This is simply a perfect closed loop."

"The only thing missing right now is a Move-type Cultivation Technique."

Calculating this, Feng Ming felt excited inside.

At the same time, he was also thinking about finding a suitable time to give the Frost Art to Jiang Shuwan.

This way, they as a married couple could progress together.

Once he gets his hands on a suitable Move-type Cultivation Technique later, it will be simply perfect.

The more Feng Ming thought about it, the better he felt.

"It is dinner time now. You go back to the room and wait for me. I will go cook, and call you when it is ready."

Jiang Shuwan nodded, looking expectant, and obediently went to the room.

Feng Ming turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Along the way, everyone who saw him was shocked.

Very quickly, the news of Feng Ming standing up spread throughout the Feng Residence.

Feng Xiaotian, Feng Muqing, and Feng Muyang were shocked beyond measure.

They even came personally to verify the truth.

However, they were one step too late; the kitchen was already empty.

And the small courtyard belonging exclusively to Feng Ming was guarded by Feng Da and Chun Tao, who would not see anyone.

Inside the room, the candle flames in the lanterns and the candles on the lamp stand were all blown out by Feng Ming.

Only two candles on the table were left, gently flickering.

On the table were various delicious dishes that Jiang Shuwan had never seen before.

There was also a pot of fine wine that Feng Ming had specially ordered someone to prepare.

Jiang Shuwan looked at all of this with curiosity written all over her face.

"Husband, what is this you have prepared? Why did you extinguish the lamp stands?"

Feng Ming smiled and said: "Of course, it is to spend some time just the two of us, and enjoy a candlelight dinner."

"Candlelight dinner?"

Jiang Shuwan took a look, with an appearance of understanding, "Does Husband mean eating dinner accompanied by candlelight?"

Feng Ming nodded, "Literally speaking, that is indeed the case."

"But the key point is that this time belongs only to the two of us. Eating good food, drinking some wine, and chatting – isn't that wonderful?"

Jiang Shuwan imagined it, and it did seem quite wonderful.

"Then Husband, what should we do now?"

Jiang Shuwan had never experienced such an occasion, so she was very curious.

Feng Ming helped Jiang Shuwan sit down, picked up the wine pot, and poured two cups of wine.

"First, naturally, we must have a drink."

Jiang Shuwan nodded, very obediently picked up the wine cup, and clinked it with Feng Ming's.

Each of them raised their cups and drank it all in one gulp.

"What is the next step?"

Feng Ming picked up some food with his chopsticks and placed it on the empty plate in front of Jiang Shuwan, "Naturally, it is to taste the delicious food."

Just as Jiang Shuwan was about to pick up food, Feng Ming had already picked it up with his chopsticks and fed it into her mouth.

"How is it? Eating dinner made for you by your beloved? Do you feel happy?"

Jiang Shuwan nodded with a smile.

"The most correct decision in my life was marrying Husband!"

Feng Ming smiled: "Being able to marry you is also my honor!"

The two of them gazed affectionately at each other.

Feng Ming smiled and said: "This is the meaning of a candlelight dinner, to bring hearts closer."

"Eat well."

Jiang Shuwan happily lowered her head and started eating.

During this, she did not forget to chat casually now and then.

After three rounds of drinks.

Jiang Shuwan's face was flushed, carrying a hint of drunkenness, and her watery eyes were filled with Feng Ming's figure.

"Husband, I am so full, and have drunk so much wine. What shall we do next?"

"Next..." Feng Ming looked at Jiang Shuwan's alluring face, deliberately paused for a moment, and said: "Next, naturally, there is a better activity."

"What activity is that?" Jiang Shuwan asked, full of curiosity.

Feng Ming smiled meaningfully, then stood up, and Jiang Shuwan hurriedly stood up as well.

Feng Ming pulled Jiang Shuwan into his arms.

He lowered his head, chuckled, leaned close to Jiang Shuwan's neck, and whispered: "Next, we sleep together!"

As the words fell, he had already picked Jiang Shuwan up and walked towards the bed.

Candlelight dinner, scented candles paired with fine wine.

It seemed to add a bit of atmosphere to tonight.

The next day.

Feng Ming woke up, feeling refreshed.

Jiang Shuwan was fast asleep.

Clearly, she was quite exhausted.

Feng Ming did not disturb Jiang Shuwan, letting her continue to sleep.

He, however, needed to go to his grandfather's courtyard.

So many people saw him standing up last night; presumably, the entire Feng family knew about it.

He had to go and say hello.

Furthermore, according to the time, his eldest brother should be home soon.

Feng Ming gave Chun Tao some instructions, telling her to take good care of her, and then left the courtyard.

On the road, Feng Ming looked at the System prompt and slightly frowned.

"Strange, he worked so hard last night, yet Shuwan's favorability only increased by five percent, meaning it is only at 95% now."

It was only a tiny bit away from the final Great Perfection.

Yet it did not reach one hundred.

Feng Ming couldn't quite understand it.

Could it be that the hardest part of this favorability is the last ten percent?

Thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a problem.

After all, when two people go from strangers to acquaintances, as long as the impression is not bad, and you treat them a little better, it rises very quickly.

Later on, the boundary of what is considered "good" becomes less obvious.

In other words, in the past, a single piece of candy could increase their favorability towards you by several tens.

But after having eaten candy, even if you give a whole handful now, the effect is no different from one piece.

Moreover, it is sometimes very difficult to judge for yourself to what extent you are treating someone well.

Only when the moment arrives will you discover that you actually love someone, even to the point of being willing to die for them.

And such things, when spoken of in daily life, always feel light and airy.

Feng Ming didn't dwell on it too much.

He genuinely wanted to treat Jiang Shuwan well.

Even without the System mission, Shuwan was his wife, and he would cherish her.

favorability and System rewards were just extra benefits from cherishing his wife.

He just needed to take good care of his wife.
