10: Bid farewell to the Mo Mansion and head to Tainan

After Han Li left in a sorry state, the Mo Estate returned to peace. However, the scene of Lin Feng suppressing Han Li with a flick of his finger left an indelible impression in the hearts of everyone in the Mo Estate.

The servants in the estate looked at their son-in-law with an indescribable reverence. Mo Caihuan and Mo Yuzhu looked at Lin Feng's back with a hint of curiosity and respect, as if they were meeting this son-in-law for the first time.

Mo Fengwu, however, was as usual, tightly holding Lin Feng's arm, her eyes filled with sweetness and dependence.

The moonlight, like water, streamed into the bedroom. Red candles flickered, and the bed curtains hung low.

Mo Fengwu nestled in Lin Feng's arms, her fingertips tracing circles on his chest.

"Husband, today was truly dangerous. If you weren't here, I'm afraid..." Her voice carried a hint of lingering fear.

Lin Feng gently stroked her hair and smiled, "With me here, there's nothing to fear."

"Mm." She softly replied, snuggling even tighter into his embrace.

The room gradually grew warmer, their breaths intertwining.

Lin Feng felt the soft, delicate body in his arms, his mind swaying. He was not a Saint, and especially when facing the woman he loved, the fire of desire in his heart continuously rose.

A night of passion, boundless spring scenery.

Mo Fengwu, after all, was new to such matters, panting softly, her clothes damp with sweat. She bit her lower lip, looking at Lin Feng, who was still full of energy, feeling both shy and shocked.

"Husband... you're truly amazing..." She whispered, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Lin Feng smiled without speaking and kissed her forehead.

She caught her breath, her eyes hazy, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

"Husband, if you... if you always stayed in the Mo Estate... my sisters and I... would serve you together... would that be alright?" She spoke this sentence carefully, her cheeks flushed as if they were about to drip blood.

Lin Feng paused, looking at her pure eyes, which held a hint of longing. He knew this was because she loved him deeply and was worried about him leaving, wanting to keep him in this way.

His heart warmed slightly, and he hugged her tightly: "Silly girl, what are you talking about?"

"I... I just thought..." Her voice became even softer, "Husband is so powerful... can our Mo Estate... keep you?"

Lin Feng understood her concerns. A Mortal Family could not keep a Cultivator. He would eventually leave this place and embark on a broader path of cultivation. And if she remained merely a Mortal, the distance between them would only grow further.

"Phoenix Dance, would you like to go out and see?" Lin Feng changed the subject.

"Go out? Where?" Mo Fengwu looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.

"To see the true Immortal Realm." Lin Feng looked at her and said seriously, "Since you have a Spiritual Root, you should experience that world. There are higher mountains, longer rivers, all kinds of Cultivators, and countless Opportunities there."

Mo Fengwu's heart skipped a beat. She knew Lin Feng was a Cultivator, and she also knew he couldn't stay in the Mo Estate forever. She just didn't expect this topic to come up faster than she anticipated.

"But... what about the Mo Estate? Mother, elder sister, Yu Zhu..." Her eyes showed worry.

Lin Feng chuckled: "Don't worry, I have my arrangements. With me here now, who would dare to act presumptuously in the Mo Estate? When I leave, I will also leave things to protect them."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's real." Lin Feng flicked her nose, "I am your husband, after all."

Mo Fengwu finally felt relieved, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "Then... Husband, will you take me with you?"

"Silly girl, didn't I just say I was going to take you out to see?" Lin Feng was somewhat amused.

After deciding to go out, Lin Feng began to prepare. He summoned a defensive Formation from the System Mall, enough to cover the entire Mo Estate and more than sufficient to withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators. He also exchanged for a large stack of low-Rank Talismans, some for offense, some for defense, and some for bluffing.

The next morning, Lin Feng called Madam Mo, Mo Caihuan, and Mo Yuzhu to the main hall. Mo Fengwu stood beside him, her eyes showing reluctance but also determination.

"Mother-in-law, Caihuan, Yu Zhu." Lin Feng cupped his hands in greeting, "Phoenix Dance and I have discussed and are preparing to go out for a period of training."

Madam Mo's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Although she had a premonition, her heart still skipped a beat when she heard the news.

"Fenger... you're leaving?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"Yes." Lin Feng nodded, "The Dao of cultivation is like sailing against the current; if you don't advance, you retreat. Jia Yuan City is ultimately just a Mortal place, and both Phoenix Dance and I need to go to a broader world to improve ourselves."

Mo Caihuan and Mo Yuzhu exchanged glances, their eyes full of reluctance. Especially Mo Yuzhu, her small mouth pouted high.

"Brother-in-law... when will you return?" Mo Yuzhu couldn't help but ask.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Once our cultivation is successful, we will definitely return to visit you."

He handed the Formation Plate to Madam Mo: "Mother-in-law, this is a defensive Formation. As long as it is activated, it can ensure the safety of the Mo Estate."

He then summoned Qing Hun, whom he had captured earlier: "This is a Puppet with a Spiritual Root. It can control the Formation Plate to guard the Mo Family. After a drop of blood recognizes it as its master, it can be controlled by voice."

Lin Feng had already modified Qing Hun. If Han Li were to come to the Mo Estate again, not only would he be unable to control Qing Hun, but Qing Hun would also furiously attack its original master.

He then handed a large stack of Talismans to Madam Mo: "These Talismans, once activated, can resist powerful enemies. If you encounter an emergency, just crush them."

Subsequently, he taught Mo Caihuan and Mo Yuzhu the method of recognizing Qing Hun as their master and the uses of various Talismans. Although the two of them did not have Spiritual Roots, they were still young, and controlling a Puppet was something they could do.

Madam Mo took the Formation Plate and Talismans, feeling a little more at ease. She knew that Lin Feng was thinking of the Mo Estate, and although she was reluctant, she understood.

"Good... good children, be careful out there." She held Mo Fengwu's hand, tears streaming down her old face, "Phoenix Dance, follow your husband, don't cause him trouble, okay?"

"Mother, your daughter understands." Mo Fengwu's eyes also reddened, and she hugged her mother and two sisters tightly.

On the day of departure, everyone from the Mo Estate saw Lin Feng and Mo Fengwu off at the Jia Yuan City gate.

Madam Mo held Mo Fengwu's hand, giving countless instructions. Mo Caihuan and Mo Yuzhu hugged Mo Fengwu, the three sisters crying in a heap.

"Sister, you must take care!"

"Sister Yu Zhu, Sister Caihuan, you must listen to Mother at home and take good care of yourselves!" Mo Fengwu said choked up.

Lin Feng stood to the side, watching this scene, feeling a little touched. He stepped forward and put his arm around Mo Fengwu's shoulder: "Alright, it's getting late, we should go."

He looked at Madam Mo: "Mother-in-law, please go back. Phoenix Dance and I will surely return safely from this trip."

Madam Mo nodded, wiped away her tears, and waved for them to leave.

Lin Feng and Mo Fengwu cupped their hands in farewell again, then held hands and set off without looking back on the road to the unknown distance.

Behind them, the figures of the Mo Estate's people gradually blurred, and faint sobs could be heard.

The two traveled by wind, at a moderate speed. It was Mo Fengwu's first time truly leaving Jia Yuan City, and everything seemed new and exciting to her.

"Husband, that mountain is so big!" She excitedly pointed to the distant mountains.

"This is nothing." Lin Feng smiled, "The outside world is much bigger than you imagine."

They traveled west for several days. Along the way, they passed through many villages and towns. Lin Feng was not in a hurry to travel, but rather took Mo Fengwu to experience Mortal life.

One day, the two arrived at a small town. The town was not large, nestled against a mountain and by a river, with beautiful scenery.

The sun was high, and the two walked into a teahouse in the town to rest. The teahouse was noisy, mostly with traveling Mortals.

Lin Feng ordered two bowls of tea and sat by the window. Mo Fengwu curiously observed the Mortals around her.

Just then, two Cultivators wearing unified green robes walked into the teahouse entrance. Judging by their Magic Power fluctuations, they were both likely in the Middle Stage of Qi Refining.

One of them lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Wang, it is said that there will be many good things appearing at this Tai Nan Small Meet, even Foundation Establishment Stage Loose Cultivators will appear."

The other, slightly older Cultivator, said, "That's natural. The Tai Nan Small Meet occurs once every three years and is a grand event in the southern cultivation world of Yue Country. Various Loose Cultivators, Family Cultivators, and even Disciples from some large Sects will go there to trade for what they need. We are here on orders from our Sect to procure Spirit Medicine, and we just happened to catch it, so we can't miss it."

The third person excitedly said, "I heard that this time, the Tai Nan Valley market even specially gathered a batch of rare Artifact Refining Materials and Medicinal Pills from other places. If we're lucky, we might even find a treasure!"

"Tai Nan Small Meet?" Lin Feng's heart stirred.

He remembered that in the original work, Old Devil Han had purchased the subsequent Cultivation Technique of the Evergreen Technique at the Tai Nan Small Meet, and also found a mysterious, broken Magic Treasure, which he used to hide the Heaven-Mending Bottle.

Just at this moment, in Lin Feng's mind, the System's notification sound suddenly rang out.

"Ding! Plot point [Tai Nan Small Meet] is about to begin!"

"[Opportunity Alert]: The original protagonist [Old Devil Han] will, at this Tai Nan Small Meet, purchase the complete subsequent Cultivation Technique Jade Slip of the Evergreen Technique at an inconspicuous stall, and acquire a mysterious broken Magic Treasure (suspected Magic Treasure fragment, containing spatial power) at an extremely low price."

"[System Task Released]: Intercept in progress!"

"Task Objective 1: Successfully intercept the complete subsequent Cultivation Technique Jade Slip of the Evergreen Technique."

"Task Reward 1: System Points +500, [Cultivation Technique Deduction and Optimization] function unlocked (can consume points to optimize Cultivation Techniques, improving compatibility and power)."

"Task Objective 2: Successfully seize the mysterious broken Magic Treasure that Han Li sets his eyes on."

"Task Reward 2: System Points +500, [Exclusive Immortal Cave Space] Rank upgraded by one Rank, space expanded, Spiritual Qi concentration slightly increased."

"If Old Devil Han's plan is thwarted due to this, and he feels depressed, all rewards will be doubled!"

Lin Feng's lips curved into a smile.

Here it comes!

The treasure-delivering boy, Old Devil Han, was about to begin his journey of "contribution."

"Husband, what's wrong?" Mo Fengwu saw Lin Feng's unusual expression and asked with concern.

Lin Feng came back to his senses, a glint flashing in his eyes, and he smiled: "Phoenix Dance, we seem to have found a good place to go."

"A good place?" Mo Fengwu was curious.

"Mm," Lin Feng took a sip of tea, looked at the Cultivators at the next table who were still enthusiastically discussing, and said calmly: "Tai Nan Valley, Tai Nan Small Meet. Let's go join the fun too."
