367: Chapter 367 Concerns

Wanyan Lin saw that Feng Ming was still hesitating and hurriedly spoke again, her tone becoming even more sincere: "Lin'er understands Young Master's concerns, but Young Master can rest assured. Lin'er can wait. I haven't asked Young Master to avenge me within a set time. A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years... Lin'er can afford to wait!"

"I can wait until Young Master is strong enough to crush those evil Cultivators before taking action." She took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, regarding the matter of revenge, Lin'er will not rely entirely on Young Master."

"Back then, my late father deduced and created a Poison Dao Cultivation Technique suitable for my Ten Thousand Poison Body. However, his passing was sudden, and the Cultivation Technique was not perfected. After practicing it, the hidden dangers are immense, and the backlash is startling. But now, for the sake of revenge, Lin'er has no other choice. Upon waking this time, I had originally intended to forcibly Cultivate this method."

"If in the future Lin'er can take revenge with my own strength, then Young Master naturally won't have to take risks for me. I only ask Young Master... for the sake of Lin'er's sincere following, to temporarily take me in."

As her voice fell, Wanyan Lin flipped her jade-like hand, and an ancient scroll emerged from it, which she gently handed to Feng Ming.

"As long as Young Master agrees, this Poison Dao Secret Manual created by my late father, Lin'er is willing to offer with both hands and dedicate it to Young Master!"

Feng Ming remained silent for a moment, but ultimately reached out and took the Secret Manual, slowly unrolling it to read. It was one thing not to look, but upon looking, even with Feng Ming's steady state of mind, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. The Cultivation Technique recorded in this Secret Manual actually relied on devouring and refining all the poisons in the world to improve one's cultivation!

What was even weirder was that even an ordinary Cultivator without the Ten Thousand Poison Body could Cultivate it. However, the annotations of the Cultivation Technique clearly stated: even someone like Wanyan Lin, who was born with the Ten Thousand Poison Body, would have to endure the backlash of lethal poisons, suffer agonizing pain, and sustain damage to their Dao foundation while practicing this art.

Not to mention an ordinary Cultivator like him, who didn't even have the Ten Thousand Poison Body. This Secret Manual was indeed incomplete and far from being at a stage where one could Cultivate it with peace of mind. It was no wonder Wanyan Lin had delayed practicing it.

Things had come to this point; Wanyan Lin had done and said everything she possibly could. If he continued to refuse blindly, it would be too cold-hearted.

Furthermore, she had made it very clear that she would find a way to take revenge herself, and would only count on him if she were truly powerless. Moreover, there was no time limit; she could wait for a hundred or a thousand years.

He could completely wait until his own strength was great enough to sweep away all enemies before casually helping her settle the Karma. No matter how he looked at it, this deal was beneficial to him without any harm.

After much thought and weighing the pros and cons, Feng Ming finally nodded slowly. "Deal. However, according to what you just said, we still need to sign the deed of sale."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Ming waved his hand, and a pre-prepared deed of sale appeared out of thin air between the two of them.

Wanyan Lin did not hesitate for a second, picking up the brush to sign.

Feng Ming suddenly spoke up, asking one more question: "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll keep delaying and never avenge you? We... after all, have only just met for the first time."

Wanyan Lin looked up, her gaze clear and firm, and she gently shook her head. "Young Master Feng is not that kind of person. From inside the storage ring, I saw clearly that Young Master cares for the Madam at home. Even if you cannot return for the time being, you don't forget to collect snacks and local specialties for her. Your sincerity is genuine, not a pretense. You are sincere toward Miss Lu Qianqian, and you are also loyal and righteous toward friends like Zhang Bai."

"Young Master is thinking twice now and is unwilling to agree easily only because you don't want to take risks for no reason, because in your heart, there are too many people you care about and need to protect. If even someone like Young Master cannot be trusted, then Lin'er truly wouldn't know who else in this world to believe."

Hearing this, Feng Ming felt a slight warmth in his heart. He gave a dry cough and said no more. "Sign it."

He scratched his head awkwardly and said helplessly, "You girl, you really saw everything clearly from inside the storage ring. Then... did you also see what happened between Xiao Qian and me last night?"

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Lin's pretty face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head, the tip of her brush trembling slightly, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz: "I... I can only say, Young Master... you are very strong."

Feng Ming froze for a moment, then realized what she meant. His old face immediately flushed hot, and he was so embarrassed he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment on the spot with his toes.

But in the next moment, he forced himself to straighten his back and lifted his chin solemnly. "I'm not bragging, but in that aspect, I've always been very strong."

Wanyan Lin's cheeks burned even hotter, and her head almost drooped to her chest. She didn't dare to say another word. Before long, the deed of sale was signed.

Just as Feng Ming took the contract into his hand, a cold and familiar System notification suddenly exploded in his mind: [Ding! Congratulations to the Host for marrying Wanyan Lin! Current Wanyan Lin favorability: 3%!]

[Congratulations to the Host for receiving rewards: The cultivation effect of the third layer of the Dragon and Phoenix Reversal Art has been increased to 35 times! Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture × 1! sixth-grade deadly poison × 2!]

Hearing this sudden System notification, Feng Ming was completely stunned.

Why did this scene feel so familiar? Back then, Lu An'an seemed to have been inexplicably counted as his wife by the System in the same way.

Why was it the same routine with Wanyan Lin? It was just signing a deed of sale, so how did it count as getting married?

"Damn System, aren't you being a bit too reckless?" Feng Ming couldn't help but curse in his heart. "Back then, I bought three Maids in one go and was served all night, yet you didn't recognize them as my wives. Why is it that now, just by signing a deed of sale, you've directly confirmed it?"

To his surprise, the System actually gave a response this time: [Ding! Not everyone who signs a deed of sale can become the Host's Dao Companion. All judgments are made comprehensively by the System!]

"Judged by you?" Feng Ming laughed out of anger. "Can't you tell who the Host is? If you decide it, then I must marry? When did I agree to take a wife? Did you ask for my opinion? Really..."

While complaining in his heart, Feng Ming couldn't help but focus his attention on the System rewards.

He was already familiar with the improvement of the Dragon and Phoenix Reversal Art. The two portions of sixth-grade deadly poison were self-explanatory. What truly caught his interest was that book—the Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture.

With just one look, Feng Ming completely changed his mind. "Fine, this wife isn't a bad deal!"

You really couldn't blame him for changing his mind faster than flipping a page; the rewards given by the System were simply too tempting.

[Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture: An immortal grade secret method. After Cultivating it, one can refine all poisons in the world and directly convert the power of lethal poisons into one's own cultivation.]

[Friendly Reminder: The Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture can absorb toxins from within one's own body or others, but the Physical Body does not inherently possess an Immunity to all poisons. If the poison is not completely refined within a short period after being poisoned, one will still suffer harm from the lethal poison.]
