7: Married in the mortal world, walking together on the immortal path

Under the night sky, Mo Fengwu, filled with joy and shyness, returned to her boudoir with light steps.

Lin Feng stood alone in the back garden for a long time, the night wind blowing through his hair.

“Extreme Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root…” he murmured to himself, having already made up his mind.

Firstly, the System’s mission rewards were too generous to refuse.

Secondly, a tragic female supporting character like Mo Fengwu, who was not touched by Old Devil Han in the original work, throwing herself into his arms was even harder for Lin Feng to refuse.

And so, several days later.

Mo Estate main hall.

Old Madam Mo sat at the head, while Mo Caihuan and Mo Yuzhu sat on either side, all looking curious and nervous.

Lin Feng, in a green robe, stood tall in the hall.

“Old Madam,” Lin Feng bowed respectfully and went straight to the point, “Junior has an impolite request today.”

Old Madam Mo quickly said, “Immortal Master Lin, please speak freely. As long as the Mo Family can do it, we will never refuse.”

In her opinion, Lin Feng’s willingness to stay was already a great blessing for the Mo Family; now that he was speaking up, it must be something important.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze turning to Mo Fengwu, who stood by his side with downcast eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed, her heart pounding like a deer. Then he said loudly, “Junior wishes to marry Young Miss Phoenix Dance as my wife. I hope Old Madam will grant my wish!”

At these words, the entire hall was stunned.

The teacup in Old Madam Mo’s hand almost slipped. She could hardly believe her ears: “Immortal… Immortal Master Lin, what… what did you say?”

Mo Caihuan and Mo Yuzhu also widened their eyes, then bright smiles appeared on their faces.

Mo Fengwu’s delicate body trembled even more, and she suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Feng with both shyness and joy, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.

Lin Feng solemnly reiterated: “Junior is deeply fond of Young Miss Phoenix Dance and wishes to be united with her, to accompany her on the Immortal Dao. My heart will never change. I humbly request Old Madam’s approval!”

Old Madam Mo composed herself, confirmed that she had not misheard, and a look of immense joy instantly bloomed on her face.

“Good, good, good!” She said “good” three times, her voice trembling with excitement, “For Immortal Master Lin to favor Phoenix Dance is a blessing to my Mo Family, and a Heaven-Defying Opportunity for this girl Phoenix Dance! How could this old woman not agree!”

She looked at Mo Fengwu, her eyes full of relief: “Phoenix Dance, are you willing to be united with Immortal Master Lin?”

Mo Fengwu’s cheeks flushed crimson. She walked in front of Lin Feng, curtsied gracefully, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz: “It all… it all depends on Mother’s decision.”

“Hahahaha!” Old Madam Mo laughed loudly, “Good! It’s settled then! Come, prepare immediately for Immortal Master Lin and Phoenix Dance’s wedding! Make sure it’s grand and glorious!”

Jia Yuan City’s Mo Estate was adorned with lanterns and streamers, brimming with joy.

The news of Lin Feng and Mo Fengwu’s marriage quickly spread throughout Jia Yuan City.

A young Immortal Master with boundless prospects marrying the Mo Family’s Young Miss was undoubtedly a major event in Jia Yuan City in recent years.

On the wedding day, guests filled the house.

Lin Feng, dressed in a crimson wedding robe, appeared even more handsome and extraordinary. Mo Fengwu, in her Phoenix coronet and embroidered robes, was exquisitely beautiful and moving.

They bowed to Heaven and Earth, and paid respects to their elders.

As night fell, inside the bridal chamber, red candles burned brightly.

Lin Feng gently lifted Mo Fengwu’s red veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that could evoke both joy and annoyance.

“Husband,” Mo Fengwu’s voice was shy, her eyes sparkling.

Lin Feng took her hand and said softly, “Wife.”

Outside the window, moonlight was like water; inside the room, spring was boundless.

As the two completely intertwined body and soul, making an eternal vow, the System’s prompt sound arrived in Lin Feng’s mind as promised.

“Ding! Congratulations to Host for increasing the Bond Rank with [Mo Fengwu] to ‘Life and Death Companionship’ (200/200)!”

“[Mortal World Immortal Affinity, Heaven-Defying Change of Fate] Mission completed!”

“Mission rewards are being distributed…”

“[Mo Fengwu] Physique modification beginning, [Five Spiritual Root] generating…”

“Host’s Spiritual Root Aptitude upgrade beginning, from [Five Elements Spiritual Root] to [Extreme Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root]…”

“[System Points] +200 have been issued.”

An indescribable warm current instantly enveloped Mo Fengwu. She felt light and airy, as if something was awakening within her body, and her limbs and bones were filled with an unprecedented sense of comfort.

At the same time, Lin Feng also felt a vast power of creation surge into his body. His Meridians, Dantian, and even every inch of his flesh and blood were undergoing a miraculous transformation. His originally impure pseudo-Spiritual Root, under the System’s mighty power, rapidly dissolved and reorganized, finally transforming into five brilliant lights, flowing endlessly—precisely the legendary Extreme Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root!

The speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, at this moment, had increased by more than tenfold!

“Husband, I… I feel so strange.” Mo Fengwu, now completely open with him, nestled in Lin Feng’s embrace, whispered, a hint of confusion and pleasant surprise on her face.

Lin Feng held her tightly, feeling the Spiritual Root gradually forming within her, and smiled: “This is a good thing. From now on, Phoenix Dance is also a Cultivator.”

He concealed the matter of the System, only saying that their deep affection had touched upon some mysterious Opportunity between Heaven and Earth.

Mo Fengwu seemed to understand, yet not entirely, but she could clearly feel the changes in her body, that unprecedented sense of affinity with Heaven and Earth.

She knew that her life had truly changed.

“Wife, it’s still early, let’s continue with our important business.”

“Wuwu~ I hope Husband will cherish me~”

The room was filled with spring light all night, soft murmurs continuous.

………………

A few days after the wedding, Lin Feng began to guide Mo Fengwu in Cultivation.

Mo Fengwu possessed a Medium Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root. Although her Aptitude was not top-tier, it far surpassed that of ordinary mortals. With Lin Feng’s unreserved provision of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, and his personal explanations of Cultivation essentials, her progress could be described as rapid.

Lin Feng himself, after acquiring the Extreme Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root, cultivated at an even more astonishing speed.

The Five Elements Swordplay circulated within his body like rivers flowing into the sea. Each cycle of the Great Zhou could absorb vast amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and Cultivation Bottlenecks barely existed.

He increased the Spiritual Qi concentration in his exclusive Immortal Cave space to its maximum, and the couple often entered seclusion together within it.

Time flew by, like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, a year quietly passed.

During this year, Jia Yuan City was peaceful. The Mo Estate, with Immortal Master Lin Feng presiding, saw its Family status become increasingly stable, and no one dared to provoke them.

In the Mo Estate’s backyard, that elegant guest courtyard was now the exclusive love nest of Lin Feng and Mo Fengwu.

Inside the Cultivation chamber.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged, Spiritual Qi swirling around him, his magical power fluctuations robust.

At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp gleam shot out, causing the air in the room to vibrate.

Qi Refining Twelfth Rank!

Only one step away from Foundation Establishment!

“Hoo…” Lin Feng exhaled a long breath, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

In one year, breaking through from Qi Refining Seventh Rank to Qi Refining Twelfth Rank—such speed would have been impossible before. The Extreme Grade Five Elements Spiritual Root was indeed extraordinary.

Beside him, Mo Fengwu also slowly finished her Cultivation. She, too, was surrounded by strong magical power fluctuations.

“Husband, you’ve broken through again?” Mo Fengwu opened her beautiful eyes and asked in surprise.

She was now a Cultivator at Qi Refining Sixth Rank, dressed in a light green Daoist robe, which added a touch of ethereal elegance to her.

“Yes, just by chance.” Lin Feng held her hand and smiled, “Phoenix Dance, you’ve also made rapid progress. Qi Refining Sixth Rank, with a stable Foundation, is very good.”

“It’s all thanks to Husband’s excellent guidance and so many Spirit Pills.” Mo Fengwu nestled into his embrace, her face full of happiness.

Lin Feng gently stroked her hair, his gaze looking out the window.

Qi Refining Twelfth Rank. Next would be preparing to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And Old Devil Han, calculating the time, should also be leaving the Seven Mysteries Sect and coming to Jia Yuan City to search for the nuan yang treasure jade.
