75: A cup of Enlightenment Tea as a reward

"However, you aren't completely without a chance; Feng Ming might not necessarily cooperate!"

"If he doesn't cooperate, then you can do whatever you want!"

"Tomorrow night, I will take you to the Feng Family in person."

Seeing that Luo Meng was about to leave, Huangfu Xuan immediately spoke up.

"Lord Luo!"

"I have one last request. After all, Yunyan is a child of the Huangfu Family; I implore the Family Head to leave her a way to survive."

Luo Meng nodded, "The Family Head has said that as long as Huangfu Yunyan is willing to return to Qingyang City, she will still be a Young Miss of the Huangfu Family."

"However, a Young Miss without status has only one final fate, and that is to be married off for an alliance."

"Think it over and decide how you will choose."

Huangfu Xuan was filled with sorrow; he had already anticipated this outcome.

In this world where strength is respected, human life is worthless. Being able to have a way to survive and a meal to eat is already quite good.

His son was gone, and his own days were numbered; he only hoped his daughter could live well.

Never mind the Huangfu Family; even the daughters of the Jiang Family were married off for alliances. What else could he hope for?

"Thank you, Lord Luo!"

Huangfu Xuan knelt toward where Luo Meng was to bid him farewell.

Huangfu Yunyan was hiding inside the door and saw this scene clearly.

But other than the hatred and resentment in her eyes, she said nothing.

...

The Feng Family.

After returning to Qingfeng Courtyard, Feng Ming headed straight for the bedroom he shared with Jiang Shuwan.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shuwan, who was too excited to sleep, sat up from the bed.

The couple looked at each other.

Jiang Shuwan looked completely bewildered.

"Husband, why did you come back? Where is Sister Anan?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Feng Ming found it incredibly cute and amusing.

He couldn't help but tease her.

"I heard you drank too much?"

Jiang Shuwan didn't care about the mockery in Feng Ming's tone.

She only wanted to know what had happened between them.

"Husband, tell me quickly, where is Sister Anan?"

Feng Ming smiled and said, "Anan heard that you wanted to sleep alone, and there were no other prepared rooms in the house. In order to let me rest well and not disturb you, she went back."

"I sent her back myself."

"You... you..."

Jiang Shuwan was so excited she was incoherent.

Feng Ming walked over, sat beside her, and spoke softly.

"Don't get excited, I'm teasing you!"

"Shuwan, it's not that I don't appreciate your gesture, but the timing isn't right yet. My relationship with Lu An'an hasn't reached that point."

"If I really let things develop between me and Anan as you imagined, what would Anan think of me?"

Jiang Shuwan realized this upon hearing his words.

"I'm sorry, Husband, I didn't think it through."

Looking at Jiang Shuwan's aggrieved expression, Feng Ming smiled and rubbed her head.

"I'm not blaming you. It's just that when it comes to matters of the heart, it's best to let things take their natural course. When the time comes, there will be no need for you to arrange anything; it will happen naturally."

"It's late, let's rest!"

As he spoke, Feng Ming climbed into bed.

Jiang Shuwan was suddenly stunned.

"Wait, that's not right!"

"You sent Sister Anan back, so that means tonight..."

"You're going to wear me out again?"

Feng Ming said with a smile.

"You just realized that?"

When he woke up the next day, Feng Ming discovered that his strength had improved quite a bit.

All of his Qi energy had liquified and had started to become dense, showing signs of forming a Golden Core.

Feeling this change.

Feng Ming was in a very good mood.

The progress made it worth all his hard work last night.

Jiang Shuwan also gained quite a bit; although she didn't have a Breakthrough, she was only one step away from the next Realm.

"With my current strength, plus the chaos tree I obtained yesterday, as long as the Huangfu Family doesn't send any Nascent Soul experts, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

...

On the other side.

After Jiang Shuwan got up, the morning air made her mind clear up.

Thinking back on last night's events, she realized how poorly she had handled the situation.

She was only thinking about fulfilling Lu An'an and Feng Ming's relationship, without realizing that her actions could ruin the feelings between them.

Thinking about it now, she felt immense regret.

Fortunately, her husband wasn't the type to be driven by lust; he was not only rational but also very respectful of Sister Anan.

He had sent her back.

Even after returning, he didn't blame her at all and instead brushed the matter off lightly.

From this, it was clear that whether it was towards her or Sister Anan, her husband felt genuine love and respect.

Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but think of the words Feng Ming had said to her when they got married.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Shuwan's eyes were red, Chun Tao was startled.

Jiang Shuwan hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's nothing, my eyes just feel a bit uncomfortable. Go call your master to get up and eat!"

After Chun Tao left, Jiang Shuwan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, Feng Ming, who had just finished washing up, was very bewildered.

Because the System's voice sounded again.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully pampering your wife. Your wife Jiang Shuwan's favorability has maxed out and cannot be increased further.】

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host, the System rewards: the effect of Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art is increased to 15 times, Longevity Equal to the Sovereign is upgraded to the second level, and you have obtained one cup of enlightenment tea.】

【System Note: Longevity Equal to the Sovereign (Level 2)】: You can choose to perish together with a target who is at most one Realm stronger than the Host's own strength!

This series of System prompts left Feng Ming stunned.

Mainly because he hadn't done anything since waking up this morning.

"What is that Foolish Wife Shuwan imagining on her own?"

And this Longevity Equal to the Sovereign, it's at the second level now, which means he can choose to take down someone stronger than him with him?

Feng Ming smiled helplessly.

Whether it was Jiang Shuwan's imagination increasing her favorability, or this secret technique, Longevity Equal to the Sovereign.

Both were a bit inexplicable.

Let's not even talk about that Foolish Wife.

Just taking this secret technique, unless he was crazy, he would never choose to perish with someone else.

Just looking at his current strength, the Golden Core Realm was simply no match for him.

He had absolutely no use for this secret technique.

He was now hoping to reach an even more powerful Realm, one where he could perish together with King Haoyue.

When that time comes, whoever he takes a liking to, he'll cling to them; if they don't want to, he'll just perish with them.

This thing was truly powerful yet useless.

It's not as good as that enlightenment tea!

Thinking of this, Feng Ming quickly opened the System page to check.

This was the first time he had received such a direct reward, and there was only one cup, so Feng Ming found it somewhat novel.
