After Accidentally Marrying My Sister-in-law, My 10,000x Cultivation Begins

200: How can this person be so narcissistic?This decision was not a spur-of-the-moment whim from Feng Ming, but one he had made long ago.

The Huangfu Family had already been wiped out, and the remaining Huangfu Mo was nothing to fear. Moreover, the City Lord and Yue Qingchen were there to help him in Qingyang City.

Furthermore, Lu An’an had a long journey ahead of her, and he truly couldn’t rest easy. With a Puppet following her, he could feel a bit more at peace.

There was another reason: Huangfu Mo was present today. Giving the Puppet away right in front of him would also put an end to some of his ideas.

At least this way, Hua Dieer and Lu An’an would be much safer on the road.

And indeed, when Huangfu Mo heard that Feng Ming was giving such a powerful Puppet to Lu An’an, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

Lu An’an was also completely dazed; she hadn’t expected Feng Ming to give her something so important.

“Maybe you should just keep it for yourself.”

Feng Ming shook his head with a smile. “I said I’d give it to you, so I’m giving it to you. Your safety is more important than anything else.”

After saying that, Feng Ming pointed to the Puppet standing nearby, which was tall but looked like an unremarkable servant.

“Anan, silently command it in your heart to take on the form of a woman. For convenience, I previously designed its appearance to look like a male servant. It will be more convenient for it to be a woman while following you in the future.”

Lu An’an looked on in shock.

“It can even change its appearance?”

Seeing Feng Ming nod, she tried to imagine it.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Puppet transformed into a pretty and charming woman, even its clothes becoming vibrant female attire.

However, she still maintained the same expressionless face.

Yun Mo and Lu Zhenfeng were beyond shocked.

They didn’t know much about Puppets, but they knew they were incredibly valuable.

Especially a Puppet that could freely change its appearance—it was likely a priceless treasure that couldn’t be bought anywhere.

Feng Ming was willing to give such a precious Puppet to their daughter. Seeing them so deeply in love, they were satisfied as parents.

“It’s getting late. Don’t keep Miss Dieer waiting. Set off now; we won’t go to see you off.”

Lu An’an’s eyes instantly turned red as she gave a solemn bow to Yun Mo and Lu Zhenfeng. “Father, Mother, take care. Your daughter is leaving.”

Lu Zhenfeng waved his hand. “Hurry along now.”

After saying that, his eyes grew misty where Lu An’an couldn’t see.

Yun Mo was no better, leaning into Lu Zhenfeng’s embrace as she watched Feng Ming and Lu An’an walk out the main gate and board the carriage to leave the City Lord’s Manor.

Huangfu Mo then spoke up: “This old man should also take his leave. There is no longer a place for me to stay in Qingyang City.”

On the road, Lu An’an leaned into Feng Ming’s arms, enjoying the final moments before their parting.

At that moment, the System’s voice rang out.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully pampering his wife by gifting the Immortal King Realm Puppet to his wife, Lu An’an.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a hidden System reward: one Pseudo-Immortal Emperor Realm Puppet.”

Hearing the System’s voice, Feng Ming couldn’t help but smile.

Sure enough, this was just how the System worked. As long as it was for his women, any precious item he gave away would result in him getting something even better.

He was never treated unfairly.

Outside the city.

From a distance, Feng Ming saw three carriages.

He couldn’t help but find it a bit strange. Two carriages should have been enough for the people and goods, so why was there an extra one?

Fortunately, as they drew closer, Feng Ming already had his answer.

The Pseudo-Immortal Emperor Realm Puppet he had just obtained had already alerted him.

There was a Mahayana Stage expert in the carriage.

Feng Ming was somewhat shocked. As expected of a Pseudo-Immortal Emperor Realm Puppet, it was not only powerful but also more intelligent.

It could not only identify threats but also alert its master.

However, this also made Feng Ming even more curious about Hua Dieer’s identity.

Initially, he could understand a Mahayana Stage expert being stationed at the Merchant Guild, thinking it was just the firm’s grand scale.

But now, as Hua Dieer returned to the Hua Family, she actually had a Mahayana Stage expert accompanying her. This was clearly to protect her.

So, was Hua Dieer really as neglected as the rumors suggested?

Feng Ming felt that these rumors were likely spread by her on purpose.

With a Mahayana Stage expert providing personal protection, how could she be considered ’neglected’? Was that even possible?

While he was pondering...

They had already arrived.

Feng Ming said to Lu An’an in the carriage, “I’m going to have a few words with Miss Dieer. You wait here and take the chance to rest for a bit. You were busy all last night and didn’t get much sleep.”

Lu An’an’s face immediately flushed a shy red. “Go on then.”

Feng Ming jumped off the carriage and walked up to Hua Dieer’s carriage.

Hua Dieer lifted the carriage window curtain, poked her head out, and smiled. “Young Master Feng is truly affectionate. I hope you don’t blame me for interrupting your... good business.”

Feng Ming shook his head with a smile. “My marriage with Anan is set in stone; the timing doesn’t matter much. In comparison, Anan’s future is more important than anything else.”

“In fact, I should thank you, Miss Dieer. If it weren’t for your timely reminder, Anan would have missed Madam Hua’s Disciple Recruitment Convention.”

Hua Dieer’s expression shifted for a fleeting moment before she smiled and said, “Young Master Feng is too polite. I am friends with the City Lord, and besides, you requested it before, so it was only right for me to notify you.”

Feng Ming nodded with a smile. “But thanks are still necessary.”

With that, he handed over a Storage Ring. “A small gift, nothing much, but please accept it, Miss Dieer.”

Hua Dieer took the Storage Ring, feeling curious. “Oh? Then I must see what kind of gift Young Master Feng has sent me.”

After saying that, she took it out.

When she saw it in her hand, she was instantly dumbfounded.

It was clearly a miniature version of Feng Ming.

It looked like a sculpture, but it definitely wasn’t one.

Seeing Hua Dieer’s stunned expression, Feng Ming smiled and said, “I am giving ’myself’ to Miss Dieer. I hope that when you are lonely or bored, it can help pass the time.”

“This thing can’t be smashed or crushed. As long as you don’t intentionally stab it with sharp objects or burn it with fire, it won’t break!”

“Uh...”

Hua Dieer looked depressed. Who gives a gift like this? It seemed a bit too narcissistic.

Hua Dieer couldn’t quite figure out Feng Ming’s goal.

Feng Ming laughed and said, “Actually, I didn’t just give this randomly. I made the decision after some careful consideration.”

“Earlier, I broke your Innate Charm Body, and I was worried you might develop a Heart Demon during your cultivation because of it. So, I made this Little Doll with myself as the model. If you hit a Bottleneck or a Heart Demon arises, just use it to vent your anger.”

Feng Ming chuckled. “Of course, I also want you to look at it more. If you see it enough and get used to it, maybe you’ll stop having Heart Demons.”

“Who knows, you might even fall in love with me.”

That last sentence was half-joking.

Hua Dieer was so annoyed she wanted to throw the doll at him.

But looking up at Lu An’an’s carriage, a mischievous thought occurred to her.

She leaned directly toward Feng Ming, her warm breath brushing against his neck.

Her breath was as fragrant as orchids.

“Then I shall thank Young Master Feng for the gift. After I leave, don’t miss me too much.”
