Chapter 99: Deceiving the Heavens

Inside a moving carriage, Tong Wan'er looked out from the curtain and asked in confusion: "Where are they taking us?"

Huan'er leaned over: "Miss, it seems we have left the Nanyunhe."

Wang Huachu leaned back slightly, her eyes closed; from her trembling eyelashes, one could tell she was a bit nervous.

Zhong Xin slowly lifted the curtain on the other side and looked out, smiling: "Indeed, we have left the Nanyunhe. Judging by the direction, it seems we are heading toward the east of the city."

Not long after.

The carriage stopped at a residence on the east side of Wanfeng Street.

He Zixuan's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "The three of you, we have arrived."

Tong Wan'er jumped down first, looked up at the residence in front of her, and said uncertainly: "Is this where we are going to live?"

Zhong Xin and Wang Huachu got down one after another; even though they came from wealthy backgrounds, they were stunned. In the past, they had only heard from others that those living on Wanfeng Street were either wealthy or noble.

They never expected that after their fortunes fell, they would actually live here.

Could it be that the pockmarked man was a wealthy young master?

He Zixuan brought the three into the mansion and said: "No one lives here at the moment; you can find a place to stay as you please."

"In addition, Young Master Fang said that he can find a maid for each of you; those who don't want one will be compensated with silver. There will be a dedicated chef here, but I must remind you, you must pay attention to your figure."

"If you need anything, you can also instruct the dedicated person to go out and buy it."

Tong Wan'er frowned: "Can't we go out? Staying here all the time is too boring."

He Zixuan smiled: "For now, you indeed cannot go out, but you won't be restricted like this in the future. More people will move in later, so it won't be boring."

"In addition, the three of you need to read *Dream of the Red Chamber* once and write down your feelings about the characters you like."

Zhong Xin asked in confusion: "Young Master He, may I ask what we are actually going to do? What is our status now? Are we Young Master Fang's concubines? Or..."

"Cough cough cough..." He Zixuan choked on his saliva:

"You wish. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask; you will naturally know when the time comes. The only thing I can tell you now is that being chosen by Young Master Fang is your good fortune."

"Although you have sold yourselves, no one here will force you to do anything; you just need to follow the rules."

"A reminder: if you don't complete the tasks Young Master Fang assigns with care, the consequences will be very serious."

Lv Fang hadn't actually said that, but He Zixuan felt he could appropriately put a little pressure on them.

After He Zixuan left.

The three women simply found a water pavilion and stayed together, keeping each other company.

Tong Wan'er asked in confusion: "It's really strange; the people in the kitchen actually came to ask what we wanted for dinner. Are they being so good to us?"

"Isn't it good that they are good to you?" Zhong Xin's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled:

"I originally thought I would have to marry Young Master Fang as a concubine and be bullied by a tigress, but now it's fine; they only want us to read *Dream of the Red Chamber*. Beautiful clothes and expensive food are also available whenever we want them."

"They even provided maids, and we get five taels of silver every month."

"We've already ended up like this; my requirements aren't high. I'd be willing to live like this for the rest of my life."

Wang Huachu, who was feeding the fish under the water pavilion, sighed and shook her head: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple; there's no such good thing in the world."

Tong Wan'er hopped over, grabbed a handful of fish food, and threw it into the water, watching the fish scramble for the food, laughing:

"Why worry so much? By the way, Sister Wang, don't you carry a guqin with you? Teach me later, okay?"

Zhong Xin opened her mouth, suppressed the worry in her heart, and said: "You, want to learn the qin? Want to make a bet? In three years, you still won't be able to learn it."

"Underestimating whom?"

"Dare to bet?"

"Bet is a bet."

The 29th Year of Tianfeng.

December 29th.

Night.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, drawing a perfect end to the whole year and welcoming the New Year.

After Lv Fang accompanied Lu Ling for dinner, he went to the study alone. There were two chapters left to finish *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, and he planned to finish writing it tonight while he wasn't sleepy.

Snow drifted outside the window, and the room was brightly lit.

"From then on, the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and Sima Yan unified the world, ending the Three Kingdoms era. The wars in the world could be considered temporarily quelled."

With the last stroke falling.

A large amount of talent aura emerged above Lv Fang, drilling into his body, and crackling sounds rang out; this was because his physique had improved by a level.

"I am still a Scholar, yet my physique is so strong; if I told others I was a martial artist, I don't think anyone would doubt it."

Lv Fang stood up and stretched his whole body, clenched his hands with force, performed a standard bodybuilding pose from his past life, felt the explosive power contained in his limbs, and nodded frequently with satisfaction.

The completion of *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* brought not only the reward of talent aura.

Extraordinary Power: Deceiving the Heavens.

Consumes physical strength and momentum.

Once activated, it can form a barrier in a certain area, making it impossible for anyone to spy, and can change the user's entire appearance and aura.

Pop!

A transparent barrier cover appeared out of thin air.

Lv Fang looked at it with curiosity in his eyes; with a thought, the barrier cover widened again, shrouding the entire study within it.

After several attempts, he reached a conclusion.

The size of the barrier cover is related to the amount of physical strength and momentum consumed.

Immediately after, Lv Fang began to try changing his entire appearance; in just over ten breaths, his handsome face turned into a big fat face, quite a bit like a combination of He Zixuan and Wang Teng.

One strange face after another appeared; he played with it to his heart's content, but his voice could not be changed; if he wanted to change it, he would need to practice it himself.

"Body one foot taller."

As soon as Lv Fang's thought emerged, his body instantly grew a foot taller. He threw a few punches, kicked his feet, and jumped, and it seemed there was no impact at all.

Another foot taller, body stronger.

Swish!

He grew another foot taller, and the muscles on his body bulged high, just like a strong, powerful man.

"That's not right! Why do I feel that my strength and momentum have increased quite a bit? Is it my illusion? The physical strength and momentum consumed are also too little; doesn't that mean I can turn into a giant?"

Lv Fang was startled by the thought in his heart.

Just now he was a little disappointed, wondering why it wasn't a combat-type extraordinary power, but if his imagination held true, then it wasn't just a small increase.

Thinking of this.

Lv Fang, filled with anticipation, walked out of the study. Standing in the courtyard, he looked at the Deceiving the Heavens barrier above and said: "Another meter taller!"

It succeeded!

Another meter taller, physique stronger.

Another meter taller, physique stronger...

At this moment, he had become a ten-meter-tall giant. Clenching his fist, he smashed it hard into the ground. Boom! The floor collapsed into a deep pit the size of a sandbag. ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
