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

235: Would you be willing to die in my place?Jiang Shuwan exclaimed, ”Madam Qian, this is Madam Qian’s carriage; she actually came in person.”

Madam Qian was Qian Furong, the wife of the current Jiang Family Head, Jiang Yan.

”If she came in person, then Lady Jin truly wouldn’t be able to spare any attention for Mother.”

Feng Ming nodded; everything was within his expectations. He only hoped his mother-in-law would seize the opportunity and not mess things up too badly.

”Let’s go. In ten minutes at most, news will spread from the mansion!”

Jiang Shuwan nodded. The two returned to the storage ring once more and were carried by the ninth-rank puppet back to the Inn.

Just as Feng Ming had expected, the incident of the fire at the Jiang Family Mansion quickly spread throughout Liangzhou City.

After all, in Liangzhou City, the Jiang Family was watched by countless eyes. As the wife of the Jiang Family Head, it was impossible for Qian Furong to keep her late-night trip from the Main Family Branch to another residence a secret; thus, it was only natural that the matter spread quickly.

Furthermore, this was at night; had it been during the day, it likely would have caused an even greater sensation.

By the time they returned to the Inn, Jiang Shuwan had already heard news concerning her mother.

Qian Furong had handed over control of the mansion to her mother, which immediately brought tears of excitement to Jiang Shuwan’s eyes.

Feng Ming comforted her, ”Don’t cry, this is a good thing. Tomorrow morning, we will go to pay our respects to Mother, and you can send over all those snacks you prepared for her.”

Jiang Shuwan shook her head, ”Let’s go the day after tomorrow instead!”

”Such a major event happened tonight, and Madam Qian surely wouldn’t want to see us again so soon; Mother will likely be very busy tomorrow.”

”Let’s give her a day. I believe Mother will definitely get the Jiang Mansion in order, and we can visit the day after tomorrow!”

Feng Ming nodded, ”There’s time anyway. It’s all up to you!”

Jiang Shuwan leaned into Feng Ming’s embrace, ”Husband, it’s so good to have you.”

Feng Ming smiled and ruffled her hair, ”Foolish Wife, you are my wife.”

Just at this moment, the System, which had been silent for a long time, finally couldn’t hold back and its voice rang out once again.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully doting on your wife. Wife Jiang Shuwan’s favorability has been maxed out and cannot be increased further.】

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving the System reward: Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art third layer effect increased to 31 times, secret technique Longevity Equal to the Sovereign increased to the eighth layer, and one cup of enlightenment tea!】

【Inverting Dragon and Phoenix Art third layer: Host’s Cultivation speed increased by 31 times, wife can daily obtain 30% shared effect (100% during Dual Cultivation), 3 slots (Jiang Shuwan / Lu Qianqian / Lu An’an)】

...Listening to the System’s voice, Feng Ming smiled.

Although he was already numb to these rewards, this enlightenment tea was truly a good item!

It was just too little; there was only one cup!

Thinking this, Feng Ming decided to use it before the Trial!

He would take the opportunity to have Wu Qingyue guide him again, striving to also raise his Way of Thunder to the Selflessness Realm!

At this moment, most people in the Inn had already fallen asleep, and Feng Ming had originally intended to rest with Jiang Shuwan as well.

However, just as they returned to their room, the ninth-rank puppet spoke up.

”Master, be careful, someone has been in this room!”

Feng Ming and Jiang Shuwan were both taken aback. To be honest, neither of them had felt anything amiss.

One had to know that Feng Ming’s current Mental Energy was not bad, and his Way of Divine Sense had even stepped into the Thoroughfare Realm.

If someone had really taken advantage of their absence to wander around the room, he definitely would have been able to detect it.

Unless this person’s strength far exceeded Feng Ming’s, or the other party’s Mental Energy was very powerful, masking their tracks!

”Is it an expert or a powerhouse in Mental Energy?” Feng Ming asked, frowning.

The ninth-rank puppet sensed for a moment and said, ”The strength is not strong, but the Mental Energy is strong!”

”Strong Mental Energy?” Feng Ming was even more confused. He didn’t seem to have offended anyone with strong Mental Energy, right?

If it were Xiao Ze, his strong strength would make sense, but he had never heard that his Mental Energy was very formidable.

Feng Ming was full of doubt. At this moment, Jiang Shuwan noticed a letter on the table and picked it up to hand to Feng Ming, ”Husband, look!”

Feng Ming took it and opened the envelope, seeing a line of text on the letter paper: ”I am waiting for you at the pavilion in the west of the city!”

Upon seeing this letter, Feng Ming couldn’t help but be taken aback, and Jiang Shuwan was also full of curiosity.

”Husband, who wrote this letter? I don’t know why, but it feels somewhat familiar.”

Feng Ming picked up the letter and looked at it carefully; he did indeed feel that the handwriting seemed to have been seen somewhere before. However, he couldn’t recall it for a moment.

Subsequently, he held the letter paper to his nose and sniffed; sure enough, he quickly smelled a familiar scent.

Feng Ming couldn’t help but laugh, ”It’s actually her!”

Jiang Shuwan also sniffed it, but didn’t discover anything, and couldn’t help but be full of confusion, ”Her? Who?”

Feng Ming waved his hand and said, ”You’ll know later. I just didn’t expect her to come to Liangzhou City. Shuwan, you rest first; I’m going out for a bit.”

Feng Ming left the Puppet behind to protect Jiang Shuwan and departed himself. Seeing his very urgent manner, Jiang Shuwan didn’t ask any more questions.

But how could Feng Ming bear to deceive Jiang Shuwan? If she didn’t know the other party’s identity, this girl would likely not be able to sleep at all. She would probably worry all night long.

Therefore, before leaving, Feng Ming leaned close to Jiang Shuwan’s ear and whispered a name. When Jiang Shuwan heard the name, she couldn’t help but be startled, ”Husband, are you sure it’s her?”

Feng Ming nodded, then gave a few instructions before hurriedly heading to the appointment.

At this time, the night was deep and there were no pedestrians on the road. Following the address left by the other party, Feng Ming went to the vicinity of the pavilion on the west side of Liangzhou City.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a graceful woman sitting in the pavilion under the cold moonlight.

The woman was wearing a layer of white, thin gauze; under the moonlight, her skin was as fair as mutton-fat jade.

And what was most alluring was that the woman had a white veil covering half her face, with a pair of eyes exposed, looking like a pair of soul-snatching eyes.

Feng Ming looked at the woman, unable to take his eyes off her. Perhaps Feng Ming’s gaze was too intense, as the woman soon noticed him and raised her slender, jade-like finger, beckoning him gently.

”Are you not coming over yet?”

Feng Ming couldn’t bear to even blink, walking straight toward the woman.

As soon as he got close to the woman, a familiar scent rushed over him. Feng Ming was even less polite, directly raising his hand to pull the woman into his embrace.

The woman let out a soft hum and didn’t struggle; instead, she raised her hand to slide it across Feng Ming’s cheek, then spoke.

”Am I beautiful?”

Feng Ming smiled and nodded, ”Beautiful! However, if you covered your eyes with the veil, you would be even more beautiful!”

The woman was stunned; she raised her hand and lifted the veil, covering her eyes. ”Like this?”

”Then are you willing to die for me?” the woman asked.

Feng Ming smiled, but took advantage of the moment when the woman lifted the veil to her eyes, revealing her thin lips. He kissed her directly on the lips; as their lips touched, the woman instantly felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She frantically slapped at Feng Ming, wanting to break free. Feng Ming, however, firmly wrapped his arms around the woman’s body, letting her struggle but refusing to let go.
