"Success!" Seeing Luo Qianxue no longer opposing the matter, a smile appeared on Ye Feng's face. As long as he could call her that, wouldn't calling her Wife eventually make it real?
"Why do I suddenly feel like the otherworld version of Wang Duoyu¹ now!" he mused. "If just some Purple Nether Profound Crystal let me call her Wife, then won't other things allow kisses? Is the nuptial chamber still far away?"
Looking at Luo Qianxue's departing figure, Ye Feng felt it was time to start being prodigal with all sorts of good things on his Wife.
Wait!
"Damn it!" Ye Feng suddenly realized, looking at the hundreds of Marrow Cleansing Pills he had prepared. "How did everyone freaking disappear? Can't you see these Marrow Cleansing Pills?" He remembered the proper business at hand, only to find himself alone with a pile of meat-paste corpses.
A moment later.
Ye Feng found Leng Wufeng. "Junior Brother Wufeng, quickly go to the Sect Main Hall! I have good things for you all!" he urged. "We need to hurry, otherwise it will delay your training in the killing formation." With that, Ye Feng prepared to head towards the Five Heavenly Geniuses' courtyard residence.
"Senior Brother," Leng Wufeng said with sudden realization, "my perspective was too small! Back when you spent one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones² to become the Sect Master's Direct Disciple, I thought you were a naive rich fool, a big idiot! Only now do I realize that I was the big idiot!"
"One hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones to buy a Sect Master Wife... Senior Brother, it had to be you!" Having said his piece, Leng Wufeng ran directly towards the Sect Main Hall.
"Damn it! Who the hell leaked the news!" Ye Feng was bewildered. How did Leng Wufeng know already, just like that? Were the four Elders really such big mouths?
"Junior Brother, it had to be you!" The Five Heavenly Geniuses appeared, laughing. "The Saintess is famous in the Xingji Sect as an iceberg goddess! Only you could win her over!" After saying this, they also ran directly towards the Sect Main Hall.
"Those four Elders really are freaking fast talkers! Just watch, later I'll stuff your big mouths full with Marrow Cleansing Pills!" Although Ye Feng knew everyone would find out sooner or later, he truly hadn't expected it to be this fast!
"Grandpa, let go of me quickly!" "Ye Feng! What exactly did you do to my Sister Qianxue!" However, when Ye Feng arrived at the courtyard where Chu Xiaoxiao lived, the atmosphere changed abruptly. Seeing Chu Xiaoxiao holding a Long Sword and being held back tightly by Chu Hongshan, Ye Feng was also bewildered. I found a wife; why are you getting so worked up?
Chu Xiaoxiao was practically exploding with anger. She had planned to come to the sect and keep an eye on Ye Feng, to find out his purpose for getting close to Luo Qianxue. But she truly hadn't expected that just a few days after returning, before she could discover anything, he had directly snatched her Close Female Friend away! Thinking about the terrifying one-armed madman beside Ye Feng, regardless of whether what's done was done, she had to continue trying to stop this, because she knew Luo Qianxue had no idea about that one-armed madman! If her grandfather hadn't kept stopping her from telling Luo Qianxue, she would have said something long ago!
"Elder Chu, bring your granddaughter to the Sect Main Hall. I have good things for you," Ye Feng said.
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao shouted directly, "I don't want it! No matter what you give, I won't take it! I will definitely stop you two! Don't even think about buying me off!"
Ye Feng didn't know what crazy fit Chu Xiaoxiao was throwing. Not bothering too much, he turned and continued towards Xia Tianyu's residence.
...
Some time later, inside the Sect Main Hall.
When everyone saw Ye Feng enter the Sect Main Hall with Little Yellow Dog, their eyes instantly lit up. They knew Ye Feng treated this Doggy incredibly well. Since he even brought Doggy along, the things he was giving them this time must definitely be good! However, amongst the crowd, Chu Xiaoxiao and Luo Qianxue looked at Ye Feng with eyes full of fury!
"Wife, go ahead and be angry now!" Ye Feng thought, feeling that this current mode of interaction was just like flirting; he wasn't in any hurry to capture Luo Qianxue's heart. When is the best time to capture a woman's heart? It's when that person is most helpless, and you step forward to shield her from everything! His plan: secretly nurture everyone in the sect. After Luo Qianxue Ascends to the Upper Realm, Ye Feng would quietly lead everyone to Ascend together. When Luo Qianxue encountered a crisis, he would make a domineering entrance like a male lead, and wouldn't that win her over in one fell swoop?
Rip!
Ye Feng walked over to the Blood-Devouring Mantis, skillfully tore off another piece of its clothing, spread it directly on the ground, and then began taking out handful after handful of dark, dingy Marrow Cleansing Pills.
"My newly changed clothes!" The Mantis despaired internally. "Master, you've gone too far! Can't you pick another Yao's clothes to tear..." Thinking of asking Ye Feng to switch, it suddenly realized it was the only Great Yao here. At this thought, the Blood-Devouring Mantis truly felt like it was going mad!
"These are all Marrow Cleansing Pills!" Ye Feng announced. "The efficacy of Marrow Cleansing Pills far surpasses Clear Profound Pills, even Nine-Patterned Ninth Grade Clear Profound Pills are no match! However, you need to consume a large amount. They can grant you a true impurity-free Spirit Body!"
Peng!
Just after he finished speaking, Ye Feng saw Doggy, eyes wide, lunging towards the pile of Pills. A Shadowless Kick sent Doggy flying.
"You silly dog! Lie down there obediently! You eat last!" Ye Feng shouted directly at Doggy as it scrambled up in the distance.
Seeing this scene and hearing these words, everyone suddenly felt empowered! They didn't know if the 'Humans are inferior to dogs' series was truly over, but today was definitely the 'Dogs are inferior to humans' series!
"Sister Qianxue, we can't eat this! We absolutely cannot..." Chu Xiaoxiao started to protest. Luo Qianxue directly cut Chu Xiaoxiao off, saying with a serious expression, "I want to become strong. I cannot refuse what he offers!" "Fine! I'd like to see if these Pills are as powerful as you say!" Gritting her teeth, Chu Xiaoxiao also joined the large group.
Watching everyone sit on the ground, eating handful after handful of Marrow Cleansing Pills, Ye Feng also sat down beside them, continuously replenishing the consumed Pills.
Twenty minutes later.
Retch! Retch! Retch!
Everyone was standing in various corners, leaning against walls and dry-heaving. Firstly, they had eaten too much; secondly, the taste of these Marrow Cleansing Pills was extremely poor, far worse than the 'slightly poor' the System had described!
"Are they really that bad?" Ye Feng looked at the retching crowd and gave one to Little Yellow Dog, who had been waiting for a long time.
Spit! However, when Ye Feng tossed a second Marrow Cleansing Pill into Little Yellow Dog's mouth, Doggy spat it right out.
"You silly dog! You're being picky now!" Seeing the Marrow Cleansing Pill spat out by Little Yellow Dog, Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly and proceeded to teach Doggy how to be a dog!
"Doggy, you had it coming!" "Ye Feng spoils this Doggy too much; it should have been disciplined long ago!" "Watching Doggy get beaten feels so damn good!" As everyone watched Little Yellow Dog, which was constantly letting out miserable shrieks while being savagely beaten by Ye Feng, smiles appeared on all their faces.
Ten minutes later!
"Eat!" Ye Feng placed a pile of Marrow Cleansing Pills in front of Doggy and commanded directly.
Watching the aggrieved-looking Little Yellow Dog begin to eat the Marrow Cleansing Pills, Ye Feng thought inwardly: "You silly dog, rejecting such good stuff! If I wasn't planning to nurture you into the Number One Yao Dog of the Myriad Realms, this old man wouldn't give you this stuff even if I threw it away!"
No one knew how great Ye Feng's expectations were for Little Yellow Dog. No one knew that in his previous life, when Ye Feng was an Overtime Dog (Wage Slave), the one who accompanied him most when he returned home each day was also a little yellow dog.
