72: Reward Business Tree

In front of a transmigrator like Feng Ming, there was no ideological work that couldn't be done.

In just a few words, he dispelled all the doubts in Lu An'an's heart, leaving her completely stunned.

She looked at Feng Ming with excitement and gratitude.

"Young Master Feng, you're truly amazing. Things I couldn't figure out, you can always make me see clearly in just a few words."

"In the future, I will follow all your arrangements, Young Master."

Seeing Lu An'an agree, Jiang Shuwan also said happily.

"Wow, that's wonderful! With Sister Anan here, I finally won't have to force myself to look at account books anymore."

"Sister Anan, you should have agreed long ago. Now that I have you, I feel so happy not having to look at account books."

Lu An'an said.

"Actually, looking at account books is quite interesting."

Jiang Shuwan, however, had a face full of resistance.

"But Sister Anan, I think there are many things in the world more interesting than looking at account books. Watching flowers or observing fish, either is good." "Come on, Sister Anan, I'll take you to see the lotuses in the backyard."

Feng Ming smiled and followed them to the backyard.

However, he didn't disturb the two girls; instead, he went to a pavilion by himself and began to Cultivate.

No matter how strong a Foundation Establishment Peak is, it is still the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Facing the huge challenge ahead, Feng Ming also wanted to achieve a Breakthrough as soon as possible to have the confidence to deal with it.

The Huangfu Family would definitely send someone, but who, with what strength, and for what purpose, was unknown.

Now, only strength could put his mind at ease.

Because Lu An'an was there, the Feng family prepared a very sumptuous dinner.

Everyone even drank quite a bit of wine together.

Jiang Shuwan seemed unable to handle her liquor; after a few cups, she went back to her room early.

Lu An'an, under Feng Xiaotian's invitation, couldn't refuse and could only grit her teeth and agree to stay the night.

Feng Ming was leading Lu An'an back to the Qingfeng Courtyard when Chun Tao came to meet them.

"Second Young Master, Miss Lu, the Madam has already had me arrange the room. Please follow me."

Chun Tao led Feng Ming and Lu An'an to a quiet room.

As soon as the door opened, a faint fragrance wafted into their nostrils.

Everything in the room had been arranged, and the bedding was brand new.

It was clear how much thought Jiang Shuwan had put into this.

Feng Ming was very satisfied with Jiang Shuwan's arrangement.

Just as he was about to tell Lu An'an to rest, Chun Tao, standing at the door, spoke first.

"Young Master, the Madam said she drank too much tonight and wants to sleep alone."

Feng Ming was taken aback; seemingly, drinking too much shouldn't affect the two of them sleeping together.

Besides, he could take care of her.

But since Jiang Shuwan had said so, Feng Ming still agreed.

"Alright, then I'll go to another room."

Chun Tao's expression changed, "Second Young Master, you can't go to other rooms. Those rooms haven't been cleaned; they're messy and dirty, not fit for people to stay in."

Feng Ming's mouth twitched.

At this point, Chun Tao spoke again.

"Young Master, the Madam said..."

Chun Tao gritted her teeth and forced herself to deliver the message.

"The Madam said that you and Miss Lu have mutual affection, so staying in one room for the night shouldn't be a problem."

This time, Feng Ming was directly stunned.

Beside him, Lu An'an's pretty face turned red instantly.

No one present was a fool; how could they not understand that Jiang Shuwan wasn't unable to handle her liquor, but was clearly trying to take the opportunity to bring Feng Ming and Lu An'an together?

To let the two of them seal the deal.

The intention was good, but Feng Ming always felt a sense of being arranged into an organized marriage.

Moreover, forcing someone was not his style.

"Mhm, I understand. Go and rest."

Feng Ming nodded; since things had been said to this point, he couldn't just leave anymore.

Chun Tao nodded with a smile and left quickly.

Only Feng Ming and Lu An'an were left in the room.

At this moment, Lu An'an's heart was in her throat.

Although she had heard Lu Qianqian's comments about sleeping with Feng Ming and didn't particularly reject or resist it...

...happening under these circumstances still felt a bit awkward.

Feng Ming could naturally sense the abnormality in Lu An'an's heart.

He couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, these things should happen naturally when the time is right. I won't force you."

"If you want to go back, I'll take you. Anyway, we've had our fill of food and wine, so we can treat it as a walk."

Lu An'an nodded obediently, her heart also feeling a sense of relief.

Just as the two of them walked out of the Feng family gate, the System's voice rang in Feng Ming's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully doting on your wife. Wife Lu An'an's favorability has increased to 70%.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining System rewards: The auxiliary cultivation effect of the Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art has increased to 14 times; obtained one merchandise path tree, 50 Grade Two Improved Perfect Ten-Fold Pill Formulas, and 30 Grade Three Improved Perfect Ten-Fold Pill Formulas!]

Hearing the System's prompts, Feng Ming also gave a helpless smile.

Matters of the heart cannot be forced; the more they are forced, the harder they are to obtain. Instead, by letting things take their natural course, there's a better result.

The System rewards were the proof.

However, Feng Ming was also very puzzled: what exactly was a merchandise path tree?

On the street.

Feng Ming and Lu An'an walked quietly, but in his mind, he was already researching this so-called merchandise path tree.

[merchandise path tree]: A tree grown from a Merchandise Path Seed. Once the Merchandise Path Seed enters a cultivator's body, it will take root and sprout, becoming a Dao tree. It can reflect the cultivator's cultivation speed. When the merchandise path tree blooms, the user's path has reached Perfection.

[System Tip]: The merchandise path tree does not have the effect of increasing strength; it can only be used to check the progress of The Way of Commerce.

Feng Ming chuckled.

This reward was clearly aimed at Lu An'an.

It was obviously meant for him to give to her.

Lu An'an couldn't Cultivate; although The Way of Commerce existed, she couldn't sense it at all.

This meant that whether she had progress on The Way of Commerce and how much progress she had was completely unknown.

Only at the moment the Great Dao reached Perfection would she be able to sense it.

Those legends of people Entering Sainthood overnight were likely of this kind.

To others, this was a great thing, something to be envied.

But for the person involved, the process was incredibly painful.

This feeling was like clearly knowing you will die, but just not knowing when that day will arrive.

Because compared to death, the process of waiting for death is even more of an ordeal.

If Lu An'an had this merchandise path tree, she would have a clear perception of her own strength and would know if she had made any progress.

Of course, its function wasn't just that.

With the merchandise path tree, it would further prove the truthfulness of what Feng Ming said; she would be able to believe in herself more and firmly continue down this path!

As Lu An'an walked, seeing Feng Ming remain silent, she couldn't help but speak up.

"Do you regret it?"

Feng Ming was taken aback and smiled.

"Yeah, I regret it. I regret not taking the opportunity to take you down!"

"You!"

Lu An'an's pretty face immediately turned red.

Feng Ming laughed.

"Alright, I'm just teasing you!"

"Since you and I already share the same feelings, why would I be in a hurry for this moment? I respect your thoughts and opinions."

"Lovers doing happy things—if it's not mutual affection, one can never experience the wonders and joy within."
