Qin Feng now regretted his attempt at cunning, thinking that he could divert attention by introducing an imaginary friend. He had hoped to slowly probe his wife’s feelings, but it turns out that he only made things worse.
If he had known this, he would have been better off being honest with his wife from the start.
At this moment, his wife looked more desolate than when she sat alone in the pavilion after failing her tribulation. And it is all his fault!
With a sigh, Qin Feng slowly walked into the pavilion, his mind spinning rapidly as he considered his words.
But at this point, all explanations are nothing more than excuses.
He came to the bottom of the pavilion, slowly sat down, and began to recount everything that happened with Cang Feilan.
This included the trip to Shuliang City and the truth about Cang Feilan leaving without saying goodbye.
At the corner of the corridor, the worried father and others hid behind the wall and eavesdropped.
When they hear that Cang Feilan put the Dragon Bead, which is as important as the heart, into Qin Feng’s body to save him, even Lan Ningshung couldn’t help but be moved.
The Dragon Bead is a unique item of the Azure Dragon lineage, possessing magical effects that can turn decay into a miraculous transformation.Once the Dragon Bead leaves the body, the consequences for the dragon race are unimaginable.
“It seems that Miss Cang really has a deep affection for Brother-in-law.” Lan Ningshuang sighed involuntarily.
The Second Madam never expected Qin Feng’s journey to Shuliang City to be so dangerous, with almost no return.
While she was scared, she was also grateful to Miss Cang, whom she had met several times before. If it weren’t for the latter, wouldn’t Feng’er be in trouble?
Before Liu Jianli married to Jinyang City, she had originally intended to make Miss Cang her daughter-in-law, but this idea was gradually forgotten with the arrival of Liu Jianli.
When Second Mother heard of all that Qin Feng and Miss Cang have been through, especially the latter’s willingness to sacrifice herself for Qin Feng, Second Mother, who has always adhered to the principle of loyalty in relationships, couldn’t help but think that it might not be a bad thing for Qin Feng to Miss Cang.
However, this is not a matter for her to decide; it depends on the thoughts of the young lady from the Liu family.
The story is long, but it must be finished at some point.
Qin Feng took a breath, and then said softly, “My wife, I’m sorry. I should have told you about this earlier, but I didn’t know how to broach the subject with you, and…”
Before he could finish, Liu Jianli, dressed in white, came down lightly. She didn’t say anything, but gently placed her hand on Qin Feng’s chest.
After activating her Qi, she sensed the Dragon Bead in his dantian and realised that Qin Feng’s previous words were not lies. The uneasiness in her heart dissipates considerably.
Qin Feng carefully held Liu Jianli’s delicate hand and gently embraced her, and apologised as he stroked her back.
Time passed minute by minute in this silence.
Until Liu Jianli spoke again, “So the Dragon Clan’s competition for marriage was for Miss Cang?”
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then replied, “Yes.”
“Master told me that the strength of the Dragon Clan is outstanding. Even if they suppress their cultivation, they are still far from ordinary people. Do you have the confidence to face the challenge?” Liu Jianli raised her head and asked.
“Regardless of whether you can overcome it or not, you still have to try. My father told me that in everything, as long as you do it with a clear conscience, it’s good.”
“Hmm? Madam, do you want me to challenge the arena?” Qin Feng exclaimed happily.
“Yes.” Liu Jianli nodded slightly.
In his excitement, Qin Feng held Liu Jianli tightly in his arms, thinking only of having such a willing wife; what more could a husband ask for?
On the other side, the people hiding around the corner of the corridor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
As long as Liu Jianli agreed, the problems they had been worrying about would be solved.
However, a new challenge appeared. Black Charcoal Head said, “Even if the young lady agrees for the young master to marry Miss Cang, the prerequisite for the marriage is that the young master can pass the challenge set by the Dragon Clan in the arena. The young master is following the path of a literary saint and is not skilled in martial arts. Can he do it?”
Upon hearing this, the Second Mother also showed a worried expression. How could a scholar be involved in fighting and killing?
Father Qin thought about what the National Teacher of Heavenly Tower had said and pondered.
The failure of the thirty-six stars to overcome the challenge was a huge blow to the people of Imperial City. After all, the Thirty-six Stars and the Twelve Generals were considered unbeatable in the hearts of the people of the Imperial City.
But who would have thought that the dignified Thirty-six Stars couldn’t even withstand a single move from that Dragon Clan woman?
The next day, the Dragon Clan people arrived on time, and Cang Min was still guarding the arena.
The spectators who had been so enthusiastic on the first day were now disheartened.
They no longer cared who could marry the Dragon Clan woman; they only hoped that someone could defeat the Dragon Clan guarding the arena and uphold the dignity of the human race.
On the high platform of the Demon Slaying Department, Chief Deng looked gloomy. Following the order of Emperor Ming, he had sent the thirty-six stars into action, but they had barely passed the first stage.
Naturally, he was inevitably scolded by Emperor Ming, and this anger was finally vented on Mr. Qian of Thirty-Six Stars.
After being reprimanded, Mr Qian was not angry. After all, it was his lack of skill. “This Dragon Clan woman is not weak, even if she is not as strong as the Divine Generals, the difference is not much. And she was only the second to guard the arena; the strength of the third will be even more terrifying.”
“Chief Deng, I suspect that the Dragon Clan’s marriage invitation is a sham; they want to humiliate the human race before revealing their true strength”.
Upon hearing this, Chief Deng furrowed his brow, clearly understanding that these words were not unfounded.
After a pause, Mr Qian spoke again, “Now, within the Demon Slaying Department, it seems that the only one with the ability to pass the arena is you, Chief Deng. After two consecutive days of failure, the emperor is furious. If it really can’t be done, why don’t you…”
“Nonsense!” Chief Deng interrupted before he could finish.
“I’m so old; you want me to take part in the Marriage Challenge? Even if I can pass three stages, where would I put my old face?” Chief Deng brushed his beard angrily.
“But the Emperor…”
“It’s because you didn’t live up to expectations and didn’t make it through the ring. What has that got to do with me?”
Cang Min had been standing on the high stone pillar arena for half an hour, but no one had dared to step onto the platform.
This situation has been the case since Thirty-Six Stars was defeated yesterday.
Thinking about it, if even the thirty-six stars that shook the entire Great Qian couldn’t get through the arena, how could others?
Even if they challenged, it would only be an embarrassment.
In the Imperial Palace, the Emperor’s expression was extremely gloomy: “Is there no one in my Great Qian? It’s just a Dragon Clan, and there are only a few people who dare to go on stage to compete”
“How can we talk about wiping out the demonic forces in all directions and ensuring peace for the human race?”
Eunuch Li stood off to the side, trembling and afraid to speak.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed the commotion in the crowd reflected in the precious mirror. The people around the Stone Pillar Arena were making a move.
“Your Majesty, look, someone is challenging the arena again!” Eunuch Li’s eyes widened.
The Emperor glanced over, a strange expression on his face: “What is this child doing here?”
In the mirror, the person slowly approaching the stone pillar was none other than Qin Feng, dressed in black!
