373: Chapter 383 Disarming! The Advancing Martial God! The Pharmacy in the Brilliant Starfield!

Su Feng understood the principle that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass.

Hmm...

Watching Wu Qin systematically issue military orders from the main seat and direct various think tanks to formulate meticulous screening plans, it would be a lie to say Su Feng wasn't moved.

Moreover, among the wives who had followed him from the beginning, Wu Qin was actually the one who spent the least time by Su Feng's side and received the least favor.

Yet, with her leadership talent, she had single-handedly supported the entire Star Domain's rear for Su Feng.

They say a successful man must find a woman who meets the following criteria:

A woman who is sensible and can stabilize the rear; a woman who is versatile and capable of fighting; a woman who is quirky and can provide emotional value; a woman who treats her husband like a treasure and pampers him wholeheartedly...

Su Feng stroked his chin, feeling that he was quite successful indeed.

Because he wanted all these different types of top-tier women, and he had them all!

"With such excellent genes that benefit humanity, I must have a few more children to pass them down properly..."

Thinking of this...

Su Feng opened the tiankui mirror again, intending to check on the progress of his sons who were out gaining experience. He also hoped they had changed and were looking for Dao Companions.

The images flashed by one by one.

The eldest, Su Hao, was still in secluded cultivation, steady as a rock.

The second, Su Mo, was still wielding his blade and slaughtering wildly on the Realm Battlefield, covered in blood.

The fourth, Su Dao... was still lying in a rocking chair sleeping, outrageously lazy!

Good!

Very good!

After watching, Su Feng took a deep breath, and a dangerous killing intent—the kind where a father sees his son still alive and reaches for his belt—involuntarily flashed in his eyes!

"I'm working against the clock in the rear to build a foundation for you, and this is how you little brats expand the Family?! It's been years, and aside from Su Jin, not a single one of you is capable?!"

Su Feng gritted his teeth secretly.

He absolutely could not let the foundation he had worked so hard to build be ruined by these children who knew nothing but cultivation!

Once the deadline arrived, if these brats still hadn't brought back wives, he would definitely let them experience the "deep affection" of a strict father!

Thinking of this, Su Feng felt a bit tight in his chest and subconsciously reached out, wanting to loosen the Immortal Artifact belt around his waist that was a bit too tight.

However, his casual action of undoing his belt...

...took on a completely different meaning in the eyes of Wu Qin, who was nearby deploying work.

From the corner of her eye, Wu Qin caught sight of Su Feng's hand already resting on the belt's hidden buckle.

Her usually stoic and cold face instantly flushed with two alluring patches of crimson.

While continuing to listen to Li Fan's report with composure, she reached out her slender hand and pressed it against the back of Su Feng's hand, secretly sending a voice transmission:

"Don't be in such a hurry... bear with it a little longer, the arrangements will be finished soon."

"Huh?"

Su Feng's hand paused, and he closed the tiankui mirror.

Looking at the slightly warm hand resting on his belt, he immediately realized... Wu Qin had misunderstood!

However, this misunderstanding didn't matter.

After so many years of Su Feng's careful training, the former straight-laced woman whose head was only filled with war had improved a lot.

"There are no issues with the general screening framework. As for the remaining details, Li Fan, you are in full charge of the coordination and follow-up!"

Wu Qin hadn't touched Su Feng for a long time. Feeling the warmth from the back of her hand, she no longer cared about her so-called commander's dignity and only wanted to end the meeting as quickly as possible.

"Rest assured, Commander Wu! If I fail the mission, I shall present my head!" Li Fan stood up straight and made a solemn military pledge.

Wu Qin simply nodded indifferently, skipping even the closing pleasantries. She grabbed Su Feng's hand and, with a flash of her body, impatiently teleported back to her own commander's tent.

*Bang!*

The door was slammed shut by a gust of wind.

"Wait... Qin'er, you haven't even removed your Dark Gold Breastplate yet?!"

Looking at the Valkyrie forcing him directly to the edge of the bed, Su Feng swallowed hard. Feeling the cold, hard metal armor against his chest, the intense contrast made his heart race with heat.

"I'll take it off later! Get inside first!!!"

Wu Qin's eyes misted over. She dominantly extended her long legs and kicked off her heavy Dark Iron Skirt Armor.

Then, like a starving leopardess, she pounced on Su Feng, pinning him down onto the soft bed.

"Wait... you're being too direct..." Su Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I finally caught you for once. Now that you're here today, don't even think about leaving!" Wu Qin bit her red lips fiercely.

...

While Su Feng was exhausting himself in the rear to break through to the Peak of the Great Emperor stage...

...far away in the Brilliant Star Domain.

This was the place with the strongest overall strength and the greatest wealth in the entire Great Thousand Star Domain.

Because this was the Star Domain evolved from the head of the Heavenly Emperor after his fall!

Countless supreme techniques of the Heavenly Emperor and lost ancient Secret Realms were hidden here.

Precisely for this reason, the Realm Demons were currently only symbolically harassing the edges of this tough nut to crack, without launching a full-scale offensive.

They were waiting, waiting until their strength had accumulated enough to swallow this sweetest fruit in one go.

But beneath the surface of prosperity lay extreme cruelty.

The Brilliant Star Domain had a desperate wealth gap.

The massive families that controlled ancient resources and legacies ran rampant here, dominating everything.

Meanwhile, the bottom-tier Loose Cultivators with no background or resources could only trade everything they had for a bite to eat.

Here, even the black-hearted capitalists from Blue Star would seem as naive as fresh recruits in comparison.

In an unremarkable city within the Brilliant Star Domain.

In an obscure and remote pharmacy opened by Su Dao, a special guest arrived.

A destitute Cultivator who had long survived in the cracks of the city slipped in stealthily, carrying a dirty, tattered burlap sack on his back.

"Divine Doctor Su!"

The Cultivator rubbed his hands flatteringly and pointed to the sack on the floor. "This is some goods I picked up in the wilderness outside the city. I haven't even had the chance to ask for a price from Zhou the Skinner on Center Street yet, so I brought it for you to take a look at first."

"I just secretly tested it with a knife. The Bloodline of this girl is strange! No matter how severe the external injury, it heals rapidly within a few breaths without even leaving a scar. It's truly miraculous!"

The Cultivator lowered his voice, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. "I don't want much, ten Low Grade Divine Crystals will suffice! You can use her to test those potent poisons; she's definitely the best test subject!"

Behind the counter, Su Dao lay on a bamboo rocking chair.

He didn't even open his eyes, just gently rocking the chair, and spat out a single word in a cold tone devoid of any warmth:

"Get out."

Hearing this, the destitute Cultivator's expression changed, and he immediately grew anxious.

"Divine Doctor Su, if you think the price is too high, I can lower it by one Divine Crystal!"

"This girl is born with self-healing abilities; she's truly a one-in-a-million candidate for testing medicine! You won't find another opportunity like this!"

As soon as the Cultivator finished speaking...

*Bang!*

An invisible wave of Qi erupted from the rocking chair without warning, like a heavy hammer slamming into the Cultivator's chest, sending him flying over ten meters away and crashing heavily against the wall.

Su Dao didn't bother with nonsense at all, using the most direct action to tell him: he had no interest in this deal.

The Cultivator clutched his tight chest and scrambled up, a look of deep fear flashing in his eyes.

But he gritted his teeth, still unwilling to give up.

He wanted to sell to Su Dao for no other reason than that in this dog-eat-dog city, the prices Su Dao paid for miscellaneous goods were the only ones that could be considered fair.

If he went to the city center to sell, those local thugs might not only lowball him to the bone but might even kill him as well.

The Cultivator looked at the tattered sack still in the center of the pharmacy and steeled his heart.

He lunged forward and tore open the hemp rope tying the mouth of the bag.

The bag fell open, revealing a ragged little girl about twelve or thirteen years old curled up inside.

The girl's dirty little face was covered in bruises, and her eyes were hollow and numb, as if she had long lost the instinct to resist the malice of this world.

"Divine Doctor Su! If you don't believe me, I'll demonstrate it for you right now!"

In order to clinch the deal, a cruel glint flashed in the destitute Cultivator's eyes.

He suddenly drew a rusty dagger from his waist and, without the slightest hesitation, prepared to stab it fiercely toward the little girl's heart.
