Chapter 298: Manipulation

Deep in the night, the lights of Cheng Mansion were extinguished one by one, leaving only a few strands of moonlight to spill before the window of the guest room where Su Min resided. She curled up on the bed, her heart as complex and indistinguishable as the night itself.

About to become a Concubine of Cheng Feng, for her, this was both a turning point in fate and the beginning of responsibility. From now on, her every move would be closely linked to the Cheng family.

On the other side, in the study, Cheng Feng stared at the black wooden box in his hand; it was the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment he regarded as a treasure. This precious ointment had once allowed two experts at the Bone Refining Initial Stage to be reborn.

One was the Offering of the Hong Sect, Wu Feng, and the other was his Principal Wife, Zhao Wei. Now, this ointment was about to be used to treat Su Qiang, an expert at the Bone Refining Perfection, which would be a major boost to the Hong Sect's strength.

Cheng Feng calculated inwardly that the addition of Su Qiang would undoubtedly add a force to the Hong Sect that could not be ignored.

In this world where the strong are respected, having one more expert at the Bone Refining Perfection meant one more layer of security and one more capital to vie for supremacy.

Moreover, relying on the deep sibling bond between Su Qiang and Su Min, it also gave him a bit more trust and expectation toward Su Qiang.

Cheng Feng also knew clearly that all of this did not come without a price. Su Min's sacrifice and compromise were the prerequisites for him to obtain this power.

Perhaps some unfavorable factors might appear later, but thinking that Wei Zhuang had already broken through to the Organ Refining Realm, it seemed that Su Qiang, this Bone Refining Perfection expert, could not turn the world upside down.

The night deepened; Cheng Feng put away his thoughts and properly stored the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment.

Tomorrow would be a new beginning, whether for Su Min or for the entire Cheng family.

Putting away the Silk-Pulling Art in his hand, he looked at the information on his Panmian:

Silk-Pulling Art: (Entry 120/200)

Cheng Feng revealed a trace of a smile; his progress in the auxiliary technique for the Bone Refining stage was still quite fast, and the Organ Refining Realm was in sight!

The Mechanical Dog also sent some information to Eight Hundred; four unusual wild beasts had been encountered.

The specific locations had already been marked, just waiting for Cheng Feng to go and confirm.

Cheng Feng naturally would not go in person for Strange Beasts that could not be determined; he directly arranged tasks for the Hong Sect, letting Hong Sect Skin Refining disciples go out to capture them alive, directly offering a reward of five hundred taels of silver and one opportunity to learn a Hong Sect martial technique.

It was said that the enthusiasm of those disciples was still very high; silver was easy to talk about, but learning martial techniques without needing merit was what was truly super valuable.

The Hong Sect was currently in a stage of recuperation; without major actions, there was naturally no high-merit income, so they were just waiting for work—wasn't this it right here?

Wei Zhuang was still on the road, estimated to take some more time. After handling most of the affairs at hand, Cheng Feng strode toward the inner courtyard with a swaggering gait.

Tonight, whose tablet should be flipped???

A bit of a dilemma!!!

Over these past two days, the Su siblings had been receiving meticulous care in Cheng Mansion, with food and drink, and the servants were all sensible enough not to gossip or meddle.

After all, what Cheng Feng hated most were those people who liked to chew the fat behind his back. At the beginning, two servants were ignorant, and as a result, they were beaten to death by him with sticks.

Anyway, these servants were all bought by him, so the power of life and death was naturally in his hands.

After establishing this rule under the eyes of everyone, the other servants easily understood the preferences of this Mansion Master.

Seeing that her brother was well taken care of in Cheng Mansion, Su Min also began to tour the entire Cheng Mansion accompanied by Cheng Feng.

Along the way, Cheng Feng asked with a smile, "Miss Su, are you satisfied with our Cheng Mansion?"

Su Min did not answer, only nodding slightly. Seeing her so weak and delicate, Cheng Feng could not help but feel very puzzled.

He thought to himself, previously on the road to protecting her brother, Su Min was decisive in killing and clever and resolute; how did she become so weak and unable to bear a burden once she arrived at Cheng Mansion?

Watching Su Min get familiar with Cheng Mansion for two days, Cheng Feng said bluntly, "I have already stabilized your brother's injuries with acupuncture over these two days. In these two days, the Cheng Mansion has also handled the wedding arrangements completely. Tomorrow, let's get it done!"

Hearing this, Su Min's face turned pale, but looking at the serious Cheng Feng, she had no choice but to accept. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Cheng Feng stepped forward and took Su Min's hand; there were still calluses from using a Sword on the web of her thumb. Su Min wanted to dodge but didn't manage to; Cheng Feng pulled Su Min directly into his arms.

Looking straight into Su Min's eyes, he said earnestly, "Since you have married into Cheng Mansion, you are naturally a person of my Cheng family. I hope you can live in harmony with them, and I also hope that in Cheng Mansion, you can have a stable life.

Isn't your enemy the Lin Family? Exactly, after your elder brother's injuries are healed, he will join the Hong Sect Offering Hall and can lead Hong Sect disciples to go to the Prefecture City to make a name for themselves.

I am confident that within a year, I will avenge your Su family."

Su Min bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her tears fall, but the glimmer in her eyes had already betrayed her emotions.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng could not help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He gently stroked Su Min's head and comforted her tenderly, "Stop crying, it won't look good if your eyes get swollen."

Gently pulling Su Min into his arms, he patted her back softly, trying to give her some comfort in this way.

Hearing this, Su Min's sobbing gradually stopped, but she still leaned tightly into Cheng Feng's embrace. She raised her head, looking at Cheng Feng with teary eyes, and asked softly, "Will you really help me get revenge?"

Cheng Feng nodded and answered firmly, "Of course, what I have said, I will definitely do."

Hearing this, Su Min's tears finally could not help but burst forth. She choked with sobs and said, "Master Cheng, your great kindness and virtue, I, Su Min, have no way to repay. I only wish to share your worries and solve your problems in this life, to repay even a fraction."

Cheng Feng smiled slightly, a touch of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "Silly girl, what is this talk of repaying or not. I'm not greedy either, just give me ten or eight children, and that will do."

Looking at Su Min's somewhat dazed and cute expression, he gently wiped the tear stains off Su Min's face and continued, "As for the matter of revenge, you don't need to worry.

Although the Lin Family is powerful, it is not without weaknesses. As long as our plan is meticulous, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. By then, you and your brother can live in peace."

Listening to Cheng Feng's words, a sense of security that she had never felt before surged in Su Min's heart. She knew that although she had lost a lot, at this moment she possessed a harbor willing to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Su Min held Cheng Feng's hand tightly, as if wanting to keep this warmth in her heart forever.

The night deepened; the two walked side by side in the courtyard of Cheng Mansion. The moonlight spilled onto them, draping a soft radiance over this pair of man and woman who were about to become husband and wife.

Cheng Feng looked at Su Min's performance and made a 'yay' sign in his heart.

Little beauty Su Min, handled!!!
