Chapter 135: Settling Down Finally

After recasting the Silver Feather, Cheng Feng did not neglect the Mountain Crushing Fist.

The Panmian provides cultivation experience, but not actual combat experience.

Cheng Feng was certain that he would surely have plenty of combat experience in the future.

When fighting blade to blade, one relies on courage and daring.

Cheng Feng's actual combat experience had always been limited, but he would not slack off on training in this regard.

Ever since he killed the few people who besieged Lin Wan'er, Cheng Feng knew he had changed.

He had become bolder.

When he heard Xu Miao say that a single sum of silver from the Black Wind Stronghold was eight hundred taels, perhaps there was even more silver in the stronghold.

Cheng Feng admitted that he was tempted.

He dared not think of anything else right now; he was simply short on money.

Thinking carefully, just within this year alone, to Cheng Feng's knowledge, the Black Wind Stronghold robbed the Li Family, spent two thousand taels to ransom Li Mo, plus the eight hundred taels Xu Miao mentioned, and other irregular business.

Liu Dong, the leader, certainly has a head for business!

According to Xu Miao's description, Liu Dong should be at Blood Refining Perfection, and his frequent stirring up of trouble recently was to buy medicinal herbs to break through his realm.

If one day he truly breaks through, those in the county who could stop him would be fewer than the fingers on one hand.

Cheng Feng also wanted to take the Hong Sect disciples to pull off a heist; what if they struck it rich?

But the ideal is plump, while reality is skeletal.

The current strength of the Hong Sect disciples is on the weak side, and there are few experts among them.

Relying solely on Cheng Feng's Blood Refining Mid-Stage realm, he feared he would be done for.

Now that the business is on the right track, Cheng Feng has begun a life of accumulating Fortune Points.

Cai'er has almost recovered now, so that counts as one.

Cuier and Xiaohua are still in their postpartum confinement.

Chen Min and Lian Niang are about to give birth.

Zheng Ya, Xiao Qing, and Xu Miao are the women who have frequently accompanied him during this period.

Chunyu and Xiahe are looking after the children and cannot get away for the time being, and the three little ones are practicing martial arts.

Calculating carefully, there are not many who accompany Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng also wants to go all out, but these are his women, so he cannot be too crazy.

Cheng Feng had secretly evaluated himself; killing four women in a row now is no problem at all, but he fears ruining himself if it goes on for too long.

No matter how capable one is, one cannot exhaust oneself like that!

Cheng Feng felt a lingering fear.

He could only say to take it slow; Cheng Feng decided that once the residence is settled, he would go straight for the three women: Zheng Ya, Xiao Qing, and Xu Miao.

He must get them pregnant, so that afterwards he can try with a few more women who have the aptitude for Martial Dao but no cultivation.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

Cheng Feng firmly believed this.

Eight days after viewing the Lin Mansion, the Shopkeeper of the Tooth Agency sent someone again, saying the Lin Mansion from last time could still be negotiated.

Cheng Feng spoke bluntly: "If it's still a case of paying first and handling the paperwork a month later, then don't even bring it up!"

Cheng Feng could accept being played for a fool once, but he would never accept being played for a fool twice.

The clerk had gone with the Shopkeeper and knew the details, so he insisted: "That won't happen, Young Master Cheng. It has already been agreed upon over there; money and goods will be exchanged simultaneously. The situation from last time will absolutely not happen again."

Cheng Feng nodded and let the clerk lead the way.

Lin Xiong was not a great person, but Cheng Feng had indeed taken a liking to that residence, the Lin Mansion.

It was very much to Cheng Feng's liking.

Therefore, Cheng Feng was willing to go one more time.

When negotiating a deal, succeeding on the first try is just luck; Cheng Feng did not care, because the silver is in his own hands, and he can buy whatever he wants.

Daring to give him attitude?

Not everyone is entitled to be served.

The place the Shopkeeper of the Tooth Agency arranged was the same teahouse as last time.

But the one negotiating the business this time was not Lin Xiong.

A slender figure wearing a bamboo hat with a veil sat upright in the private room, and the faint fragrance of green mong flowers permeated the air.

Cheng Feng sat directly on the stool beside her and said expansively: "What, has the Lin Family changed someone to sell the house?"

Lin Wan'er did not expect to see her benefactor who had saved her here, and for a moment, the words she had prepared were of no use.

Cheng Feng looked at the woman in the bamboo hat and she said nothing; for a moment, his anger flared. What was the meaning of coming and not speaking?

Just as he was about to ask again, he heard a familiar voice from under the bamboo hat: "Young Master, do you still remember the person you saved after encountering an ambush halfway?"

The more Cheng Feng listened, the more familiar it sounded, and he probed: "Are you... Lin Wan'er?"

The Shopkeeper saw that Lin Wan'er knew Cheng Feng and immediately felt that this deal could be made.

Lin Wan'er was called by name by Cheng Feng and no longer wore the bamboo hat.

She took off the bamboo hat directly, revealing a fair face as fresh as a lotus rising from clear water.

The Shopkeeper was stunned; wasn't it said that the Lin Family's legitimate daughter never easily showed herself to others?

What was going on with this situation now?

Cheng Feng and Lin Wan'er both ignored the Shopkeeper of the Tooth Agency and began to negotiate.

Watching Lin Wan'er reveal her true face, Cheng Feng was also dazed for a moment. Lin Wan'er's appearance was not bad, but what stood out more was her purity; it was a kind of temperament, as beautiful as moonlight, as if the world had put a filter on her.

Cheng Feng was not an innocent person who had never weathered a storm.

After regaining his composure, he said coldly, "I remember you still owe me fifty taels; should that be counted in this?"

Lin Wan'er had that layer of temperament filter shattered by this sentence from Cheng Feng, and she laughed, "That's fine, asking for more wouldn't matter either."

Cheng Feng naturally climbed up the pole, "Is that so? Then thank you very much."

Lin Wan'er also hadn't expected Cheng Feng to be this shameless, having almost no bottom line.

But he had saved her life after all, so a little bit of silver didn't matter.

Lin Wan'er asked curiously, "Why are you buying my family's residence? Didn't you say your family was, um, not very well-off?"

Cheng Feng maintained his aloof persona, "Seeing that your residence happens to be for sale, I am planning to buy a large residence to settle my family."

Lin Wan'er pressed, "Settle your family? Are you married?"

Cheng Feng was speechless. What kind of outrageous question was this? Weren't they here to discuss a transaction?

Since they had at least met once before, Cheng Feng said coldly, "No. Why do you ask that?"

Seeing Cheng Feng's reply was so cold, Lin Wan'er could not help but feel a trace of apology in her heart. She knew her question was a bit abrupt; after all, the two were not particularly close, and she had no right to ask about his private affairs.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Cheng, it was presumptuous of me," Lin Wan'er said in a low voice. "I was just a bit curious. Since you aren't married, why do you need to purchase such a large residence to settle your family?"

Cheng Feng was silent for a moment. He knew Lin Wan'er might have misunderstood his intentions, but he did not intend to explain too much. He said indifferently, "I have an elderly mother at home, as well as a young younger brother. Although I am not yet married, I must consider them. This residence is well-located and the environment is quiet, which is just right for them to live in."

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er could not help but feel a trace of respect in her heart. She had not expected that Cheng Feng, at such a young age, would already be shouldering the heavy responsibilities of a family. Thinking of the changes in her own family, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.

"Young Master Cheng, you really are a responsible person," Lin Wan'er said softly. "Then... how much silver do you intend to buy this residence for?"

"Miss Lin, I have an idea of the value of this residence," Cheng Feng said in a deep voice. "I know the Head of the Family is in urgent need of money, but I only have one thousand six hundred taels of silver on hand right now. If..."

Before Cheng Feng could finish his sentence, Lin Wan'er interrupted directly, "I agree."

Cheng Feng was a bit stunned. What? What kind of situation was this?

Seeing Cheng Feng's cold expression, Lin Wan'er thought she had been too rude, and with a slightly flushed face, she whispered, "This house, one thousand six hundred taels, you take it. It's also to thank you for saving me; I will repay you in the future."

Cheng Feng understood in a second; this was using money to repay a debt of gratitude!

Cheng Feng thought to himself, "This is truly great; saving this person was really worth it."

The Shopkeeper of the Tooth Agency watched Lin Wan'er negotiate the price like this and thought to himself, "Is this that phoenix girl of the Lin Family, Lin Wan'er? Selling the house at such a low price just like that?"

Cheng Feng didn't care about all that; he called for the clerk to bring paper and pen, signed the contract, and sat in the teahouse waiting for the clerk's good news.

Watching Cheng Feng's happy appearance, Lin Wan'er thought to herself, "Is he very short on money?"
