13: Chapter 13 Becoming Husband and Wife?

As expected, there is no such thing as a free dowry in this world.

Feng Yange put the dowry into her storage space, lifted her eyes to scan the struggle in Ling Ye's eyes, and said, "Speak. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will agree to it."

Ling Ye clenched his fists, struggling to suppress the deep hatred in his eyes, and said, "I wish to ask the Mistress, when I have the ability to take revenge, please set me free."

"You, as my nominal husband, already have this privilege. Otherwise, why would you be registered under my name?"

She had wondered what big deal it was, making him act so solemn; it turned out he just wanted to go take revenge.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mistress. In the future, if you have any orders, just give them. I will surely go through fire and water for the Mistress..."

"That is completely unnecessary!" Feng Yange raised her hand to interrupt him. "Just focus on your own Cultivate, I am very busy too."

She was only at the high stage of the Spirit Master Realm right now, and she still needed to Cultivate to reach a Breakthrough to the Spirit King Realm. She had too many things to do and no time to manage him.

"Yes."

Ling Ye realized that all the issues he had been struggling with before were not met with any difficulty. Feng Yange did not stop him from doing anything; in fact, she did not even care about him. Was she being too casual with her husband?

Normally, after a Mistress marries a husband, she would have them get pregnant as soon as possible to continue the lineage, thereby absorbing the husband's Spiritual Qi to improve her cultivation. Yet, she had absolutely no such thoughts. Could it be that she disliked him because he could not take human form?

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully marrying a husband. Obtained 100ml of supreme spirit liquid and a set of precious clothing that can resist attacks from the Spirit Emperor Realm.]

[New mission released: Please help Long Ze complete his transformation within three months and become a real married couple with him. Completing the intimacy level will grant a large reward.]

Feng Yange's body stiffened. [System, transformation is fine, but why are there such conditions? What if he is still a child after transforming? You want me to do that with a child...]

[Host, Long Ze is already an adult. After he transforms, he will be an adult of the Dragon Clan.]

Fine. Her words really had no persuasiveness at all. After all, Long Ze's voice was that of an adult man; he might even be a dragon egg that was thousands or tens of thousands of years old.

[System, matters like consummating the marriage should happen naturally. If I get delayed in marrying husbands because of this, I will be kicked out of the Feng Family.]

She had come to the Monster Forest this time for the express purpose of marrying husbands, but she had to become stronger. Only then could she survive in this world where the strong are respected.

[The Host makes a valid point. However, this System must remind the Host that in this world, Dual Cultivation with one's husband is much faster than Cultivating alone. The Host should decide for herself.]

Feng Yange asked the System to enlighten her further. For example, if a husband was not favored by his Mistress and did not bear children, they would be mocked and punished. In this world, regardless of whether they were human males or males of the Spirit Beast Clan, no matter how good-looking or powerful they were, their status was lower than women.

Furthermore, a Mistress could annul the marriage of a husband who made mistakes or whom she disliked. Husbands abandoned by their Mistress would be spurned, becoming despicable existences sent to the Nanfeng Pavilion.

"Do you know anywhere where I can Cultivate in peace? I want to find a place to have a Breakthrough to the Spirit King Realm." The three of them had injuries, so it was a good time to recuperate for a while.

"Mistress, why don't we go back to the Spirit Wolf Clan Forbidden Ground? There are quite a few spirit plants there, and the Spiritual Qi is dense, making it suitable for healing."

"Would that be inconvenient?" Seeing Ling Ye take the initiative to mention the Forbidden Ground, Feng Yange thought about its abundant Spiritual Qi; it was indeed a good choice.

"It won't be. Mistress, feel free to Cultivate there. I can also find some useful things for you there." Ling Ye had thought it through. Since Feng Yange was willing to help him, he could not be stingy. Before taking revenge, he would do his best to help her Cultivate.

"Then let's go there. It will also be a good time for you to heal your injuries."

The group returned to the Spirit Wolf Clan Forbidden Ground. Feng Yange placed the spirit spring water there. "While I am Cultivating, you should heal yourselves. This is spirit spring water; don't save it for me, just heal your injuries as quickly as possible."

[System, use the supreme spirit liquid. I want to make a push for the Spirit King Realm.]

Ling Ye looked at that bottle of spirit spring water; there were at least a hundred drops. The Mistress just gave it to them like that?

"I will pour it for you. Hurry up and get your body healed. One of us three should be able to take human form so the Mistress isn't always alone." Xuan Li's tail wrapped around the spirit spring water, pouring it for Long Ze to apply, and then arranged some for Ling Ye.

"I am curious about one thing. If the Mistress's cultivation speed is so fast, why is she only at the Spirit Master Realm now?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. The Mistress has her own secrets, just as we do." Long Ze interrupted, "We should remember that she is good to us. You should also be clear that since you are her husbands, you should trust her unconditionally."

"Yes."

The days of Cultivating passed quickly. After Ling Ye consumed the spirit spring water, his external and internal injuries healed. While recuperating, he scoured the Forbidden Ground for Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Xuan Li's injuries were also almost healed, only Long Ze lay securely in the nest Feng Yange had built for him to detoxify. One person, one egg, each Cultivating on their own.

Half a month later, Feng Yange finally achieved a Breakthrough. The moment the aura of the Spirit King Realm spread out, Long Ze reacted immediately. Xuan Li and Ling Ye exchanged glances and hurried back.

Feng Yange opened her eyes and was met with two pairs of joyful eyes. There was no handsome face, only Xuan Li riding on top of the big silver wolf's head.

"Congratulations to the Mistress for the Breakthrough, becoming a strong cultivator in the Spirit King Realm."

Xuan Li and Ling Ye spoke in unison. Feng Yange stretched, feeling very good. "This time it took half a month, a bit longer than I expected. How are your injuries? Are they all healed? Is the spirit spring water enough?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mistress. My injuries are almost healed." If not for the spirit spring water, it would have been impossible for him to heal his injuries in half a month.

"Mistress, my injuries were too severe; it might take some more time." Xuan Li coiled around Feng Yange's arm, his tone carrying a hint of dejection. Feng Yange reached out and patted his head. "It's fine. My mission has not ended yet; take your time to heal."

She had been separated from the people of the Feng Family for so long; it was time to rendezvous with them. Otherwise, she might not even make it out before news of her death spread.

Xuan Li obediently agreed, climbing along Feng Yange's arm to her shoulder. "Mistress, do you want to check if the flame grass has grown out yet?"

Feng Yange sensed the situation inside the space, her eyes curving into crescents. She hurriedly ran to Long Ze's side and crouched down. Long Ze's voice came through, "Mistress, you have had another Breakthrough."

"A-Ze, the flame grass has grown out, though it may need some more time to mature."

Feng Yange took Long Ze into the space. Looking at the patch of flame grass that had already begun to grow, Feng Yange could not suppress her joy.

"Mistress, if you wish, I can prepare to break out of my shell."

"Can you break out of your shell now? Is your poison completely cleared?" Feng Yange held the egg and checked it. Long Ze hummed an 'en', but his voice was hoarse. "Mistress, after I break out of my shell, can you promise me one thing?"
