The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

"..."

Everyone was at once stunned into silence, unable to speak from astonishment.

Yu Xing'er was the first to rub her face, bringing her spirit back to reality before addressing Qin Feng, "Young Master Qin, since you have no lack of gemstones, what is it that you want?"

"To be honest."

Qin Feng gave a wry smile and said, "Leaving aside the Taiji Yuan Sheng Pill, given our common goal, I could completely give it to you without charge—it's really not much money."

"..."

Upon hearing "not much money," everyone's faces were streaked with disbelief.

Is this what counts as 'not much money'?

"But," Qin Feng continued, "the Blood Bodhi is different. I risked my life to acquire it, and my friend nearly lost his in the process. Plus, considering its intrinsic value, I'm afraid no one would be willing to simply give it away, right?" Qin Feng said.

"Yes, I agree, no one would willingly part with such a precious Supreme Treasure for no reason," Yu Xing'er understood and responded, "So, what do you intend to exchange for it?"

"What do you... probably have nothing, right?"

Qin Feng said.

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged uneasy glances, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Though they did have some treasures on them.

But compared to his collection of gemstones, their own small possessions really amounted to nothing.

"Since that is the case, I will no longer beat around the bush," Qin Feng went on to say, "Under the circumstances where you have nothing, the only possibility for me to give you the Blood Bodhi would be..."

"What possibility?" Yu Xing'er asked.

"It's quite simple, join my 'Heavenly King Palace' and become a member of 'Heavenly King Palace'," Qin Feng said with a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

There was a moment of shock amongst everyone—including Zheng Aotian, Zhiyun, Hong Lian, and others.

This was Xingluo Peak!

Even if Xingluo Peak was currently in a state of decline,

they still had several Fifth Grade Grandmasters and Sixth Grade Grandmasters; they were certainly powerful!

And Qin Feng... actually dared to take them as subordinates?!!

Just how much courage did that require...

The people from Xingluo Peak were visibly shaken at this moment.

"Presumptuous!!"

An elder angrily slammed the table and shouted at Qin Feng, "You want us to join you? Have you even considered whether you are worthy?!!"

"Our Xingluo Peak has hundreds of years of history, and your so-called 'Heavenly King Palace,' I've never even heard of it!"

"You're far too ungrateful!!"

"..."

Everyone started to protest against Qin Feng loudly.

Even Yu Xing'er was frowning deeply at this moment.

Qin Feng seemed to have anticipated their explosive reactions and remained calm and composed, spreading his hands and saying, "Joining us and becoming one of my people, I wouldn't feel heartache giving the Blood Bodhi to my own people. Otherwise, what do you suggest we do?"

"..."

The people looked at each other, none with any good solutions.

Qin Feng then continued, "Think about it carefully—if not, what kind of consequences will ensue? If our battle fails due to your injuries and illnesses, do you think Supreme Sect will not come after you?"

"I'm fine, I have plenty of money, I can even buy my life with it."

"But what about you?"

"Do you think you will be able to survive in the end?"

"..."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, the crowd was once again lost in a stunned silence.

After hearing what he said.

There seemed to be some truth to it.

But then again.

Why did it also feel like he was setting a trap for them?

For a moment.

The atmosphere in the room grew complex.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, was unhurried, leisurely sipping his tea.

A cup of tea finished.

Seeing that they were still hesitant to make a decision, he stood up, preparing to retrieve the Blood Bodhi, and said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb everyone any longer. We'll look for others to collaborate with."

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Xing'er called out to stop him.

She bit her lip, steeled her heart, and said through clenched teeth, "Fine, I agree!"

"Young Master! This won't do!"

"Young Master! Absolutely not!"

"..."

The others urged her against it one after another.

Putting aside their feelings for Xingluo Peak, joining under someone else's command was too humiliating!

Yu Xing'er, however, had a determined look in her eyes and said, "You can all go your own ways, and I won't stop you, but he's right. Once the Supreme Sect succeeds, sooner or later, we will all be hunted down by them. The inheritance of Xingluo Peak must not end; we must join."

"This..."

Hearing these words from a twenty-year-old girl, the others could only reluctantly nod in agreement with heavy hearts.

Seeing this, Qin Feng.

A smile crept onto his lips as he said, "Heavenly King Palace welcomes you!"

With that,

He glanced at Zheng Aotian and the others.

Zheng Aotian, Zhiyun, Hong Lian, Wang Zanggu, and the rest immediately said, "Heavenly King Palace welcomes you!"

At the same time, they were also very excited in their hearts.

Especially Zheng Aotian, in the past, a sect of this level was beyond their reach, but now to be among them, at Heavenly King Palace, they were on equal footing. It was like a dream.

"However..."

Qin Feng, after surveying the group, smiled and said, "However, I see that you all seem dissatisfied, and given that your cultivation is quite remarkable, to prevent any future betrayal, I think it's necessary to sign an agreement, one with 'value'."

"..."

Yu Xing'er slightly furrowed her brows and said, "Are you talking about the 'Heavenly Curse' agreement?"

"Yes, I think with the 'Heavenly Curse', it would be much safer," Qin Feng replied with an embarrassed smile.

Their group had such powerful cultivation levels that ordinary agreements were completely ineffective; at the very least, they would need the 'Heavenly Curse' to bind them.

With the strength of Xingluo Peak, they should still have a 'Heavenly Curse' rune.

Just as he thought this, Yu Xing'er said, "Sorry, we don't have any 'Heavenly Curse' runes left. Besides the agreement for Xingluo Peak's treasures we made earlier, the rest have been sold."

"...What should we do then?"

Qin Feng was embarrassed.

He hadn't expected Xingluo Peak to be in such dire straits.

After hesitating momentarily, Yu Xing'er said: "I still have a way to prove our sincerity and assure you that we will absolutely not turn against you. Just give me a moment."

With that said,

She turned and went into a room.

A short while later,

She came out holding a nine-foot-long red cloth strip.

Seeing the cloth strip,

Elder Hua Qing's expression changed instantly, and he promptly stepped forward to implore, "Young Master, please don't! Young Master, we really don't need to go to such lengths. Our Xingluo Peak hasn't fallen so low yet!"

"Yes! Young Master, please don't be rash!"

Others also urged her.

But Yu Xing'er's face showed unwavering resolve as she said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we can destroy the Supreme Sect and avenge ourselves, as long as we can preserve the inheritance of Xingluo Peak, it's all worthwhile!"

After speaking,

She bit her finger and pressed it onto one end of the red cloth strip.

Immediately,

Fresh red blood started to dye towards the other end of the cloth.

Qin Feng noted that where the blood had seeped over, strange rune Dao Patterns emerged, similar to those of the 'Heavenly Curse'.

"All right. Now your turn, press on the other end," said Yu Xing'er to Qin Feng.

Seeing how Elder Hua Qing and the others appeared heartbroken a moment ago, Qin Feng figured it must be something valuable, so he did not hesitate to mimic her actions, biting his finger and pressing it onto the other end of the red cloth strip...

In an instant!

Qin Feng's body trembled, and he was stunned!!
