51: Chapter 51 This isn't a sixty-year-old man, he's a humanoid beast!

Red candles flickered, and warm light filled the room.

The clamor in the hall had long since faded away. In the air, the spicy aroma of the hot pot mingled with the lingering taste of mellow wine, creating an ambiguous atmosphere that made one's heart race.

Yao Shifei bowed her head. Those slender hands, which had once prepared Spirit Medicine for countless people, were now anxiously twisting the corner of her skirt. Her heartbeat was clearly audible in the quiet room.

After rebuilding her foundation, her skin was as white as snow, and a faint cyan halo surrounded her body. With every breath, she exhaled a refreshing, grassy fragrance.

Jiang Feng's gaze fell upon her, carrying a kind of pure, undisguised appreciation.

Yao Shifei's appearance, figure, and temperament were all of the highest caliber that Jiang Feng had ever seen in his two lifetimes.

Especially at this moment, having shed the aloofness and coldness of a Prodigy, and adding a touch of the shyness and helplessness unique to a young woman, this strong contrast was very moving.

He walked forward slowly.

Yao Shifei's body trembled almost imperceptibly, but she did not dodge.

Jiang Feng stood still before her. He didn't speak any useless nonsense, but leaned over to her ear, his voice lowered to an extreme, carrying a hint of playful amusement.

"The soup base of the hot pot has already boiled, and the Spirit Medicine has been tasted for its freshness."

"Now, this husband wants to taste... the flavor of the main course."

The warm breath brushed past her ear. That explicit metaphor caused Yao Shifei's cheeks to turn red all the way to the roots of her neck in a flash.

What main course...

She was not an ignorant young girl; how could she not understand the deep meaning behind it.

She raised her eyes and bumped into Jiang Feng's deep and bright pupils.

There was no lewdness there, only a possessiveness that was pure to the extreme, as well as a hint of playfulness that saw through the human heart.

"Husband..."

She just wanted to say something, but found her throat dry, and couldn't spit out a single word.

Jiang Feng saw her like this, chuckled, bent down directly, arms passing through the crook of her knees and her back, and lifted her steadily into a horizontal hold.

"Ah!"

Yao Shifei let out a low cry, her body suddenly suspended in mid-air. Instinctively, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck.

What lingered at the tip of her nose was the steady, yet aggressive, masculine aura unique to the man before her, occupying all of her senses.

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold."

Jiang Feng carried her, step by step, toward the bridal bed that had already been prepared. His steps were steady, his arms powerful, and the delicate body in his arms seemed as light as nothing.

He chuckled in her ear, his voice carrying an irresistible dominance.

...

At first, Yao Shifei still harbored some shyness in her heart, as well as the final reserve of a Prodigy from Medicine King Valley.

But when she truly experienced Jiang Feng's "strength," that pitiful reserve was completely crushed, evaporated without a trace.

Her mind was left with nothing but a blank space.

Where was this a sixty-year-old man?

This was clearly a Vicious Beast in human skin!

As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her perception of Qi and blood far exceeded that of a Mortal.

Under the inspection of her spiritual sense, the seemingly aged body of Jiang Feng contained extremely vigorous Qi and blood, and a vast and mighty vitality!

Every impact carried a terrifying force capable of carving out new territory!

Her Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, in front of this primitive and pure torrent of life, was shattered, reorganized, and shattered again... without any power to resist.

She felt like a piece of Peerless Grade spirit field waiting to be reclaimed, being deeply plowed and tilled inch by inch, over and over again.

From the moon reaching the middle of the sky to the faint dawn.

Yao Shifei went from initial resistance, to endurance in the middle, to crying and begging for mercy at the end, and finally completely limp like mud.

She finally personally experienced why the looks Su Wan and Zhang Yuniang gave her carried a bit of sympathy and encouragement of "you better take care of yourself."

And she finally understood why Yuan Chu's comment of "suffocated for too long" was such an accurate evaluation.

When the first ray of morning light spilled through the window lattice, everything was calm. In Jiang Feng's mind, the long-awaited heavenly sound rang out.

[Ding! Detected that the host's Dao Companion, Yao Shifei (Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, Supreme Wood Spirit Root), has successfully conceived!]

[This conception, rewards are as follows:]

[One: Five hundred Transformation Pills!]

[Two: Five foundation establishment pills!]

[Three: Five mortal shedding pills!]

[Four: Special reward, Medium Grade True Artifact — nine prisons peak!]

A series of System prompts made Jiang Feng sit up abruptly. He felt the surging power of Qi and blood in his body again, and a sense of satisfaction in controlling the situation welled up in his heart.

The rewards this time were far richer than he had expected!

The Transformation Pill, a Tier 2 Medicinal Pill, was a core Medicinal Pill used by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators for Cultivation. Five hundred of them were enough for the Jiang Family to use for the next five years!

The foundation establishment pill and mortal shedding pill were even more strategic-level resources for Family expansion.

But these were nothing compared to the last item!

With a thought from Jiang Feng, a palm-sized, pitch-black mountain model appeared in his palm.

The mountain was heavy in his hand, its surface engraved with complex and primitive patterns, and an aura of suppressing all things flowed faintly.

[nine prisons peak: Medium Grade True Artifact, weighing 108,000 jin. The higher the Cultivator's cultivation, the greater the power; it cannot be driven without True Qi. A Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator can fully activate it to shatter a Golden Core!]

Jiang Feng's pupils shrank suddenly.

Can shatter a Golden Core!

These four words struck heavily in his heart!

With this great killing weapon, he had a real trump card, and even if he faced a real Golden Core Immortal Master, he might not be without the power to fight!

"It seems that the richness of the rewards is not only related to the Dao Companion's talent and Aptitude, but also closely related to their Realm of cultivation!"

Jiang Feng understood in his heart, and looking at the beautiful woman sleeping beside him, his gaze became increasingly satisfied.

As expected of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a Supreme Wood Spirit Root, the rewards brought were indeed rich!

Under the morning light, Yao Shifei's expression was peaceful, crystal teardrops still hanging on her long eyelashes, and her beautiful cheeks carried a hint of exhausted flush after being completely conquered, possessing a unique, moving charm.

Jiang Feng leaned down and kissed her on her smooth forehead.

"Rest well, my Fei'er, you are this husband's great contributor."

...

A few days later.

In the study of the new Jiang Family residence.

Young Master Jiang Chen respectfully handed a compiled file to Jiang Feng.

"Second Master, the main forces within Huoyang Commandery have basically been figured out."

Jiang Feng took the file and listened to Young Master Jiang Chen's report while flipping through it.

"On the surface, Huoyang Commandery is dominated by the four great Families—the Qin, Zhou, Zhu, and He Families—and the Commandery Lords Mansion. Among them, the Qin Family is the most powerful. Not only do they have a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor in seclusion, but the Patriarch, Patriarch Qin Hai, is also at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. With two Late Stage members in one house, their strength is the best in Huoyang Commandery."

Young Master Jiang Chen said this with a heavy tone: "Moreover, I also found out that Senior Brother Qin Feng, who died in Jiangyuan City, was Patriarch Qin Hai's only son. This person, Patriarch Qin Hai, is vengeful, I fear..."

"Two Late Stage members in one house?"

Jiang Feng tapped his finger lightly on the name "Patriarch Qin Hai" on the file, without any tension on his face; instead, the corners of his mouth hooked into a cold arc.

He spread his palm, and that pitch-black nine prisons peak lay quietly there.

If he didn't have this item, facing two Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he might have to spend effort to maneuver and plan slowly.

But now...
