Chapter 408 - 408: Her Smile!
"..."
Qin Feng realized he was being too talkative.
For some reason.
Talking with Dong Haimei was so comforting, and influenced by her kindness, he showed some "concern" for her.
Or perhaps.
It was the sympathy for the similarly afflicted that generated his compassion.
Both possessing bloodlines that ordinary people could not have, yet both regarded as "sheep" in the eyes of others.
She has the Spirit Body Bloodline, and obtaining her body would be akin to acquiring a "Spiritual Energy Storage."
As for his own bloodline, how many people in the world desire to possess him?
The train carried on.
Qin Feng no longer continued chatting with Dong Haimei.
Dong Haimei maintained her quietness, sat cross-legged on the bed, entered meditation, and continued her cultivation.
Dong Family is a Martial Arts Family.
Due to her Spirit Body Bloodline, she was considered extraordinarily talented in the Mortal World and had recently reached the Half-step Master level.
If only she had reached Half-step Master earlier.
The status of the Dong Family would also increase significantly.
Seeing her so diligent, Qin Feng also sat cross-legged and began his cultivation.
Ever since opening his Qi Sea, his cultivation had been fixed at the Inner Strength Martial Disciple stage.
Of course.
It wasn't that his talent was lacking.
Rather, due to his constitution, the Qi Sea he opened was different from ordinary people.
At the Martial Arts Apprentice stage, to advance the realm, one just needs to continuously absorb and refine Spiritual Energy. When the breath fills the Qi of Dantian, a qualitative change will occur, thereby using the mental method to temper the body and enter the next realm, turning into a martial master.
But Qin Feng's Dantian Qi Sea was too vast.
For normal people, the Dantian is a lake, but his Dantian is an ocean, and no matter how much he cultivates, it's hard to fill.
Unknowingly, the sky had darkened.
Both had ended their cultivation.
Qin Feng sighed.
He thought that although he had opened the Qi Sea, the path of cultivation was a hundred, even a thousand times harder for ordinary people.
Seeing his distressed expression, Dong Haimei comforted him saying, "Martial arts talent is fixed; you can't force it, nor be impatient. Moreover, your capabilities do not primarily lie in martial arts, so there's no need to be too fixated on cultivation."
As his former "fiancée," she naturally investigated Qin Feng thoroughly.
Especially when Guo Binglong employed Wang Zanggu, who gained no advantage over him and even after Wang Zanggu was enlisted by him, she knew that thinking of him as a worthless son-in-law often chased out of his home was a severe mistake.
So, she put great effort into investigating further.
Finally, she uncovered the reason why he was respected by the Invincible Club; it was because he came from Dragon and Tiger Village.
Although, rumors had it he was among the least in Dragon and Tiger Village.
Later, Dong Haimei through various investigations and analysis figured out he was the mysterious owner behind the thriving Fengyun Group, one of the few guessed.
Of course.
She didn't know the extent of Qin Feng's martial prowess.
At this moment.
Qin Feng didn't explain and simply said, "Don't worry, these things take time."
Dong Haimei smiled and said, "Have you never thought, if you were my fiancé, with my Spirit Body aiding you, it would make your cultivation soar rapidly?"
"Uh…"
Hearing this, Qin Feng was a bit stunned.
Right!
His Dantian Qi Sea, like an infinite ocean that could never be filled, could actually combine perfectly with her Spirit Body.
This way, his cultivation struggles could be reduced by twenty to thirty years!
This chapter is from the collection at *.
However.
His excited expression then dimmed.
How could he possibly do such a thing?
No way.
I can't betray my wife.
When Dong Haimei saw Qin Feng looking like he wanted, yet couldn't have, she couldn't help but laugh.
It was like a food lover who vowed to diet, seeing a full Manchu-Han Imperial Feast, the agony in his heart was visible.
At this time.
Jiang Ziqiu came over, wanting to invite Dong Haimei to have dinner together.
Seeing Dong Haimei laughing, he was stunned.
He and Dong Haimei were very familiar; he knew she rarely laughed. She wasn't exactly an ice beauty, but she certainly had an air of a noble queen, so "smiling" was basically unrelated to her.
But now.
She was laughing, her smile bright and sunny, radiant like spring!
Like a warm sun melting a glacier, equally beautiful.
"Hai Mei, what's making you so happy?"
Jiang Ziqiu asked with a smile.
Meanwhile, he was lamenting in his heart how beautiful she was. If only he could have won her over sooner, and now she has caught the eye of the Young Master of the Hidden World's Red Dragon Villa, leaving him helpless.
"It's nothing."
Dong Haimei, upon seeing him, immediately cooled her expression and said, "Jiang Ziqiu, have you forgotten what I told you before? I have no relationship with you, so please stop bothering me."
"..."
Jiang Ziqiu felt very helpless.
Originally, he was the most hopeful one to win Dong Haimei over.
But then Red Dragon Villa suddenly intervened, and he dared not pursue her anymore.
What's more frustrating is,
the Young Master of Red Dragon Villa, knowing his good relationship with Dong Haimei, specially arranged for him to persuade her and promised wealth and honor.
How could he refuse?
So now, from a suitor, he has become a persuader.
It made Dong Haimei, who had always treated him indifferently, completely look down on him and want nothing to do with him.
No choice.
Even so, he still had to persuade.
"Hai Mei, I'm doing this for your good too. Think about how powerful Red Dragon Villa is, much more formidable than Qingyang Pavilion backing Jiang City's Long Family!" Jiang Ziqiu said earnestly, "Marrying into Red Dragon Villa is really a tremendous step up! Your Dong Family will immediately become the top family in all of Hanjiang Province!"
Dong Haimei simply ignored him and turned to Qin Feng, "Shall we have dinner together?"
"Of course."
Qin Feng touched his stomach, feeling a bit hungry too.
The two stood up and headed towards the dining car.
Jiang Ziqiu, seeing this from behind, his face turned livid with anger. So that brilliant smile of hers just now was because of Qin Feng!
In the restaurant.
Dong Haimei and Qin Feng sat face to face, Jiang Ziqiu wanted to sit beside them but was refused by Dong Haimei, so he had to silently sit elsewhere.
While they were eating.
Dong Haimei saw Qin Feng wrinkle his nose and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, when they were serving, I forgot to tell the waiter not to put cilantro in this West Lake Beef Soup. I'm allergic to cilantro," Qin Feng said.
"Oh."
Dong Haimei responded, then she took a spoon and scooped out all the cilantro from the soup, and even removed the cilantro from a braised fish dish into her bowl, saying, "There, better now."
"Thank you."
Qin Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth and started eating earnestly.
Dong Haimei seeing him eat heartily, smiled and said, "You are the first person to eat like this in front of me."
"Oh?" Qin Feng paused and looked up while eating.
"The rest of them are very conscious of their image, acting like perfect gentlemen, graceful," Dong Haimei said as she watched Qin Feng. "You're different, very natural. I like this feeling."
"Cough, cough…"
"Don't worry." Dong Haimei chuckled, "I've said it before, I won't cling to you, don't want to implicate innocent people."
"That's good, let's eat, just eat…"
