18: Conduct negotiations

Meanwhile, Alchemist Liu Feng gently fanned himself with the fan in his slender hand and said unhurriedly, "My dear wife, please calm down!"

"This Child of Destiny still has some use!"

"It's not too late to kill him after we've squeezed out all his value!"

With that, Liu Feng looked at the guard Zhang Long beside him and instructed, "Take this boy to the dungeon."

Zhang Long quickly obeyed, "Yes, Master!"

Soon.

Right before Liu Feng's eyes, Xiao Chen, who had come to assassinate him, was tied up and escorted into the dungeon.

Wang Qingwan, who had originally wanted to have Xiao Chen torn apart by five horses, had no choice but to give up when she saw this situation!

After all!

This boy, Xiao Chen, was still somewhat useful to her husband at the moment.

"My dear wife, let's continue enjoying the moon."

Liu Feng said with a slight smile.

And then.

He embraced two beautiful, fair-skinned wives, admiring the beautiful moon.

As for the Child of Destiny's assassination attempt?

He hadn't even lost a single strand of hair!

Liu Feng, who was originally an early-stage villain, had already advanced to a Luck villain!

He had long since undergone a complete transformation and was no longer what he used to be!

...

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Xiao Family.

As the mother of the Child of Destiny, Madam Xiao ShuiRun didn't know why, but she felt an extremely strong sense of unease in her heart!

She vaguely sensed that her son was in danger!

"Xiao Chen!"

"Where are you?"

Madam Xiao ShuiRun frantically searched the entire Xiao Family but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Chen.

This made Madam Xiao ShuiRun even more flustered.

Just at this moment.

A letter from the Wang Family was delivered to the Xiao Family.

"Clan Chief, a member of the Wang Family just sent a letter, saying it's for you!"

An older Xiao Family Elder handed the letter to Madam Xiao ShuiRun.

Upon hearing this!

Madam Xiao ShuiRun quickly tore open the letter in her hand.

On the letter, in tiny script, were Xiao Chen's specific whereabouts and his current predicament.

"Madam Xiao, long time no see."

"Your son, Xiao Chen, led people to infiltrate the Wang Family last night, intending to assassinate me."

"Fortunately, I have many powerful experts by my side, and they captured Xiao Chen."

"Your son, Xiao Chen, is currently in my hands."

"If you wish to rescue your son, come to the Wang Family for a discussion."

"Scribe: Alchemist Liu Feng"

After reading this letter.

Madam Xiao ShuiRun's beautiful eyes clearly showed panic!

She absolutely hadn't expected that her son, Xiao Chen, would lead people to assassinate Alchemist Liu Feng last night!

This was simply too audacious and risky!

Moreover, her son had failed and fallen into the hands of Alchemist Liu Feng.

As an enemy of the Xiao Family, Madam Xiao ShuiRun was truly worried that Liu Feng would lay a cruel hand on her son, Xiao Chen!

After learning Xiao Chen's whereabouts.

Madam Xiao ShuiRun didn't hesitate at all and went directly to the Wang Family alone, to meet Alchemist Liu Feng!

At the same time.

Wang Family.

Liu Feng was in the pavilion, quietly waiting for someone.

This person was naturally the beautiful mother of the Child of Destiny, Madam Xiao ShuiRun!

Not long after.

Madam Xiao ShuiRun entered the Wang Family and, led by Zhang Long, arrived at the pavilion to negotiate with Liu Feng.

"Madam Xiao, long time no see."

"You are still as alluring as ever."

Liu Feng said, looking down at the middle-aged Beautiful woman who appeared before him, his gaze openly appreciative.

Madam Xiao ShuiRun allowed the former to admire her appearance; she was currently at a disadvantage in the negotiation.

After all!

Her son, Xiao Chen, was still in the hands of Alchemist Liu Feng.

If she were to displease Alchemist Liu Feng, Xiao Chen's life could very likely be in danger.

"Lord Liu, is my son doing well?"

Madam Xiao ShuiRun asked, her beautiful eyes filled with deep worry.

She truly wanted to see her Xiao Chen's current situation.

As the saying goes, a mother worries when her child travels far.

Upon hearing this.

Liu Feng snapped his fingers in the air, and a Spiritual Qi vortex immediately formed, creating a Spiritual Qi screen.

Then the screen quickly displayed the scene of Xiao Chen trapped in the dungeon.

In the screen.

Xiao Chen, covered in injuries, was tied up and confined in a damp, dark, sunless dungeon.

His appearance was utterly disheveled.

Seeing her Xiao Chen reduced to such a miserable state, Madam Xiao ShuiRun, as his mother, had tears glistening in her beautiful eyes and almost cried out in front of Liu Feng.

"Madam Xiao, put away your tears!"

"If someone saw them, they would think I was bullying you, an orphaned mother and son!"

"In reality!"

"I am the true victim!"

"I was accompanying my wife to admire the beautiful moon, and your Xiao Chen snuck in, bringing people to assassinate me!"

Liu Feng said.

Madam Xiao ShuiRun, upon hearing this, wiped away her tears.

"Lord Liu, as long as you are willing to let my Xiao Chen go, I will agree to whatever conditions you propose."

Madam Xiao ShuiRun, intent on saving Xiao Chen, spoke out.

She was already prepared to sell off her Family property, even go bankrupt, to redeem Xiao Chen.

Alchemist Liu Feng drank his tea and said, "Madam Xiao, not only are you beautiful and kind-hearted, but you are also a smart person!"

"I like dealing with smart people."

Done speaking!

Alchemist Liu Feng stood up, his slender and handsome figure appearing before Madam Xiao ShuiRun.

Looking at Madam Xiao ShuiRun, who was a hundred years older than himself, Liu Feng stretched out his slender hand and domineeringly lifted Madam Xiao ShuiRun's delicate jade face, a mischievous smile on his lips as he spoke, "Madam Xiao, indeed, beauty does not age!"

"Even at over a hundred years old, you are still alluring, graceful, and full of charm."

Madam Xiao ShuiRun, whose jade face was lifted, remained silent.

She was currently at a disadvantage, and Xiao Chen was still in Alchemist Liu Feng's hands.

Whatever Alchemist Liu Feng did, she could only endure it.

And Liu Feng, holding the leverage, was high above.

"Damn!"

"The mother of the Child of Destiny is truly a sight one never tires of."

Liu Feng sighed in his heart.

"Madam Xiao ShuiRun is a hundred years older than me; if I marry her, the rewards will surely be incredibly abundant."

Liu Feng began to calculate in his heart.

And Madam Xiao ShuiRun, raising her delicate head, looked at Liu Feng with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Lord Liu, what will it take for you to let my Xiao Chen go?"

As soon as these words came out!

Liu Feng gently fanned himself with one hand, not hiding anything, and said directly, "Madam Xiao, you should know!"

"Your Xiao Chen's assassination attempt on me has caused me immense psychological pressure."

"To alleviate this pressure in my heart, I must take a wife."

"Coincidentally!"

"Madam Xiao has no husband to accompany her!"

"Then marry me!"

"As long as Madam Xiao marries me, I can let go of your ignorant Xiao Chen."

"Madam Xiao, you don't want Xiao Chen to be imprisoned in the dungeon for a lifetime, do you?"

Letting Xiao Chen go?

It's simple!

Wouldn't it be enough for the mother of the Child of Destiny, Madam Xiao ShuiRun, to marry him?

This was also the reason why Liu Feng did not kill the Child of Destiny.
