NOVEL NEXT Chapter 220: I Didn't Force You, Right!
Forget it.
Since I've already decided to be the inheritor of Heavenly King Mountain, I shouldn't overthink it. It's better to focus on strengthening my own forces.
"How long would it take to overthrow the Long Family and become the number one power in Jiang City?"
Qin Feng said.
Fei Long's face looked like a bitter gourd as he replied, "It's really hard to say. Even though we have powerful allies, the forces behind them are unimaginably strong. Moreover, many youngsters from their family have been sent to the Hidden World from an early age. Not only is their cultivation high, but they also have access to many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, guidance from great masters, and more. They are much more formidable than us who have just made our breakthroughs in cultivation..."
"Here, take some more Elixirs."
Qin Feng said as he took out several hundred more elixirs for him.
He had brought these elixirs with him when he came to Jiang City, specifically prepared for him.
"Se... several hundred?!"
Fei Long was astounded.
The previous three hundred had already made him extremely grateful, feeling that it was a miracle.
He didn't expect that in such a short time, Qin Feng would hand out several hundred more.
"Of course, there's no need to rush." Qin Feng continued, "The key is to first stabilize our foundation. Forces like ours that have risen abruptly are the easiest to collapse overnight. Once we've stabilized, we can then consider surpassing the Long Family."
"Yes, yes, with Mr. Qin's strong support, it definitely won't take too long!"
Fei Long said excitedly.
"Alright, go on with your tasks! You don't need to specifically look for me. After I finish attending the Treasure Appraisal Conference, I'll head straight back to Lake City."
Qin Feng said.
"Treasure Appraisal Conference? Mr. Qin, you've heard about it too?"
Fei Long asked.
"Heard about what?"
Qin Feng asked, clueless.
"Oh, I heard through some insider news that this Treasure Appraisal Conference is actually organized by the Long Family in search of a Supreme Treasure!" Fei Long cautiously looked around and lowered his voice, "As for what that Supreme Treasure is, no one knows."
"Oh?"
Qin Feng was surprised and said, "No wonder the Treasure Appraisal Conference seemed a bit odd. It doesn't seem like a mere auction, nor does it look like a black market setup. Plus, I've seen in the Treasure Catalog that some of the items not only include antique jade but also include rare treasures from the Hidden World, which clearly aren't aimed at just the appraisal experts."
"That's right."
Fei Long nodded and said, "I think they suspect that the Supreme Treasure might be an antique item that appears extremely valuable, so antique masters from all over Hanjiang Province were encouraged to bring their proudest items here."
"But why did only one antique master come from Lake City? Aren't they afraid of missing something?" Qin Feng wondered.
"It's probably because that item is obviously a valuable piece, priceless, and each region will cooperate with their antique masters to grade their treasures, because if an item gets multiple expert ratings and certificate verification at the Treasure Appraisal Conference, its price will soar."
Fei Long explained.
"So that's why. No wonder Elder Lin brought some items that were entrusted to him by others."
Qin Feng muttered.
"In any case, this Treasure Appraisal Conference is organized by the Long Family, and what exactly they are looking for, they probably aren't clear themselves. They only heard that the item might have circulated in Hanjiang Province, so they gathered the most valuable items across the province to search for it through this conference."
Fei Long explained.
"I understand, but I'm just here to shop. I'm not concerned about those items."
Qin Feng said.
He has always lacked interest in such matters.
Treasure hunting.
It's just a way to make money, and he's not short of money.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's leave it at that!"
Qin Feng said.
After chatting with Fei Long, he checked the time — it was almost dawn. He quickly called Lin Xue'er to head back, obviously with Mr. Jin arranging transportation.
In the back seat of the car.
Lin Xue'er was staring straight at Qin Feng and said, "Just as I thought, you are a very mysterious person!"
Ever since their adventure in Nine Dragons Mountain, she had felt that Qin Feng was not like the others said — merely a gigolo. That's why she asked for his WeChat and sought his help in identifying antiques.
Now seeing even Mr. Jin treating him with utmost respect, how could he possibly be the loser people spoke of?
"Enough, the more you know, the worse it's going to be for you."
Qin Feng waved his hand.
He didn't want to get too entangled with her, revealing his identity to her would only bring her danger in the future.
"I don't care, I've decided that I must marry you!" Lin Xue'er said.
"Stop kidding, I already have a wife."
"We'll eventually get divorced anyway."
"We won't."
"We will."
"We won't."
"We will."
"..."
The two of them argued all the way back to the hotel.
Upon reaching the room.
Seeing that she was still eyeing him predatorily, Qin Feng said, "This is too dangerous, I think it's better to get another room."
"How dare you!!"
"What wouldn't I dare?"
"You, you..."
As Lin Xue'er spoke, she suddenly started crying, saying, "Fine, I won't force you anymore..."
"Really?"
Qin Feng was skeptical.
"I swear!"
Lin Xue'er seriously raised three fingers.
Seeing this, Qin Feng finally lay down.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
Lin Xue'er said.
Qin Feng didn't bother with her and just lay down.
After a moment.
When she came out after the shower, Qin Feng suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Hey, you, why did you come out wearing that!!"
After the shower, she was only wearing an incredibly thin silk nightgown, very transparent.
Everything inside was completely visible!
Her explosive figure, wet hair, coupled with her snow-white skin.
Absolutely lethal!
"I didn't force you against the rules, did I?"
Lin Xue'er looked innocent, standing boldly in front of Qin Feng.
"It's not that you forced me, but, but your look... it's practically enticing a crime!" Qin Feng said distressedly.
"Hehe, I can't help that, as long as I didn't force you, if you initiate, you can't blame me then," Lin Xue'er said with a laugh.
"..."
Qin Feng was suddenly speechless.
"Alright, let's go to bed."
After drying her hair, Lin Xue'er jumped onto the bed.
But she didn't cover herself with a sheet or turn off the light, lying on her side, her curvaceous body perfectly displayed, her big eyes staring straight at Qin Feng as if to say, see when you can hold yourself back...
"Heart like ice, unshaken by the falling sky, heart like ice, unshaken by the falling sky…"
Qin Feng hurriedly closed his eyes reciting the "Calming Incantation."
But as he recited.
He still couldn't control himself, a heat surged up and he got a nosebleed.
Seeing him looking frustrated, Lin Xue'er laughed joyously, saying, "Alright, seeing how hard this is for you, I'll let you off for now since I'm too sleepy anyway."
Saying this.
She yawned and finally covered herself with the blanket to sleep.
Qin Feng felt an immense relief.
But.
Her explosively sexy figure was still lingering in his mind, unforgettable…
