233: Chapter 233 It's not like they're unwilling to give it to us.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have a place to take refuge, in the west of the city..."

Li Qing nodded slightly. Under Feng Ji's guidance, he entered a residential house and arrived at an underground secret room.

"In your current situation..."

"Fellow Daoist Li, help... help me..."

Feng Ji could no longer control herself.

"Alright."

Li Qing laid Feng Ji flat on a jade couch.

Feng Ji pulled Li Qing into her arms; what followed was better left unsaid.

Several days later.

Feng Ji dressed Li Qing, keeping her head lowered, not daring to look at him.

"I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist Li."

"It's all my fault..."

Feng Ji felt a bit inferior, feeling as though she had taken advantage of Li Qing.

"Call me husband."

Li Qing extended a finger, gently tilting Feng Ji's chin up, and smiled.

"Can... can I?"

Feng Ji looked at Li Qing in disbelief.

"So you don't like me after all."

Li Qing's face showed a look of disappointment.

"No... that's not it. I... I'm not worthy of liking you."

In the Eternal Kingdom, the weak were not worthy of liking the strong; they weren't even allowed to think about it.

"Then you do like me."

"From now on, I am your husband."

Li Qing pulled Feng Ji into his embrace.

"Hus... husband..."

Feng Ji murmured softly, and for some reason, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"Don't cry."

"You are not weaker than anyone else."

"Come, your husband will take you to claim the Opportunity that belongs to you."

Li Qing picked Feng Ji up in his arms and left the secret room.

Not long after.

The old Feng Family residence.

A hundred zhang deep underground.

Inside an underground palace, Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a statue in front of him. The statue's face was blurred and unrecognizable, and the surroundings were covered in cobwebs; it seemed no one had been here for a long time.

"This place is..."

Feng Ji actually didn't know the Family had such a place.

[The statue of the Feng Family's Old Ancestor, Feng Linger.]

[Unfortunately, due to an incident, the secrets here were not passed down.]

[Otherwise, the Feng Family wouldn't have been uprooted this time.]

"My lady, go kowtow to the statue and say, 'I have come.'"

Li Qing smiled.

Feng Ji did as she was told and knelt before the statue.

"I have come."

"Buzz."

The statue suddenly erupted with Eternal divine light. A phantom identical to Feng Ji flew out from it and vanished into Feng Ji's body in a flash.

"Boom."

Feng Ji's Realm advanced from the Dao Ancestor Realm to the Sacrificial Dao Realm.

Then, the rotation of a world appeared in her eyes, and she quickly broke through to the World Master Realm.

Then the Dao Master Realm.

It didn't stop until she reached the Great Perfection of the Dao Master Realm.

"This is..."

Feng Ji was completely stunned.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the statue exploded, and a pair of golden bells flew in front of Feng Ji, hovering motionlessly. Their surfaces were entwined with faint Chaos Qi, and the Three Thousand Great Daos manifested within them.

[Top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasure, Chaos Bell.]

[This is a pair of top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures.]

[After seeing this pair of top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures, that scumbag Gu Beichen directly developed murderous intent. He killed Feng Ji, who had her heart set on him and was completely off guard, and took the treasures for himself.]

[Killing his own woman just for a top-grade Chaos Supreme Treasure.]

[I don't even care to talk about him.]

Note: Chaos Supreme Treasures are at a higher Rank than Innate Spirit Treasures.

What?

That Gu Beichen really is a piece of work.

"Don't just stare; first, perform the blood-dripping soul-binding."

"I'll tell you what's going on in a moment."

Li Qing smiled.

"Husband, don't you want them?"

Feng Ji stood up from the ground and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing walked over and pinched the tip of her nose.

"Daring to test your husband, I'll deal with you later."

"I didn't."

"Husband wants to 'deal' with me."

"It's not like I'm not giving it to you."

"Using an excuse would really hurt me."

Hmph hmph.

Do I even need to test you?

I know everything you're thinking.

Feng Ji could now openly call Li Qing 'husband.'

Because she was worthy of him.

At that moment, Feng Ji directly performed the blood-dripping soul-binding on the Chaos Supreme Treasure.

"Husband."

Feng Ji directly threw herself into his arms and gave Li Qing a surprise kiss; her gaze toward Li Qing was practically overflowing with affection.

No one could understand her current feelings.

Now, she only wanted to serve Li Qing and make him happy.

She, Feng Ji, had found a good husband.

"About this..."

"Husband, let's talk about this later."

"I only want to 'eat' right now."

"Wait, not here."

Heehee.

The underground palace instantly became quiet, with only some strange sounds coming out.

An unknown amount of time passed.

In the void of the underground palace, Feng Ji lay in Li Qing's arms, listening to him recount the origin of the Opportunity.

"Your past life was the Feng Family's Old Ancestor, Feng Linger. Because she was involved in a major event from which she couldn't escape, and sensing that she would surely fail, she hid half of her cultivation in the statue."

"And she let a wisp of her True Spirit reincarnate into the Feng Family."

"But something went wrong during the Reincarnation of that wisp of True Spirit, and it only succeeded in your generation."

"Feng Linger didn't want her reincarnated self to fall into the quagmire again, so she didn't pass down her memories."

"You are a brand new Feng Linger."

Li Qing said slowly.

"No, I am Feng Ji, husband's wife."

Feng Ji shook her head.

"As you wish. After all, there is no karmic entanglement between you."

Li Qing nodded.

"Husband, I want to go rescue the Feng Family members."

Feng Ji said in a heavy voice.

"Let's go."

"Your husband will go with you."

The two then left the underground.

Not long after.

The two arrived at a giant mining pit, but they were already too late; all the Feng Family members had been killed.

They went to find the Feng Family's female relatives, but they too had all been killed.

"How could this be?"

Feng Ji was in disbelief.

[This shouldn't be.]

[Although the original plot didn't mention the end of the Feng Family, they shouldn't have died this quickly.]

Li Qing gently pulled Feng Ji into his arms.

She buried her head in his chest and began to cry.

From then on, she was the only one left in the Feng Family.

"Husband, I want to take back the Feng Family's properties in Gushan City."

Feng Ji raised her head, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.

"Let's go."

"We'll go wipe them out."

On this day, blood flowed like a river in Gushan City. All the forces that had targeted the Feng Family were completely uprooted.

A month later.

The Gushan Auction House was rebuilt.

"Husband, do you really have to go?"

In a wing room, Feng Ji hugged Li Qing, her mood low.

These days.

Were the happiest times in Feng Ji's life.

"Yes."

"Because I have my own path to walk."

Li Qing nodded slightly.

"I will guard Gushan City well for the Li Family."

Feng Ji raised her head, lightly biting her red lip as she looked at Li Qing.

"I don't actually care about these things."

Li Qing shook his head.

Feng Ji's character was deeply influenced by this world; she couldn't see clearly for the time being and insisted on managing Gushan City.

Li Qing could only let her be.

"This is the Li Family's property."

"I am a wife of the Li Family."

"I should guard it."

"Husband has the path of the strong to walk."

"I... I won't stop you."

Feng Ji bit her lip, a tear sliding from her eye, full of reluctance.

But she knew.

Only the strong are eternal.

"Your husband has decided not to leave today, but tomorrow instead."

"I want to properly accompany my lady."

"Then how will husband accompany me?"

"Any way you want."

"At least twenty thousand times, then."

"Everything husband mentioned, I want to try."

"So many?"

"One, two, three."

"Oh, you rascal."
