Spirit Vessel

If words couldn't do the trick, it was time for force.

Feiyun smirked and used a power domain to stop the two girls from moving.

"What are you doing?!" Xiaonu became nervous and struggled to break free. Unfortunately, it felt as if numerous chains coiled around her, unable to move a finger. The only thing she could do was speak.

Feiyun walked closer and raised one finger, touching her white-snow neck. Next, he started moving his finger from her ear down towards her chest, being as slow as possible.

She felt numb as if lightning was emanating from his fingertip and coursing through her body. She bit her lips and closed her eyes while shivering.

"Feng Feiyun, we will give you the embryo, don't do anything crazy." Xinnu said.

Feiyun immediately pulled his finger back and said: "See, you're the cool one between the two. Just say the price, I'm a very generous person."

"Sis, don't let this thief get what he wants!" Xiaonu said.

"Shut your mouth." Feiyun strengthened the seal and stopped Xiaonu from speaking. Only her eyes could move now.

On the other hand, Xinnu felt the power leaving her area so she could finally move.

She glanced over at Xiaonu before speaking softly: "Xiaonu, I know Feng Feiyun isn't a good person but he's not a hypocrite. It's better to give the embryo to him, he's still better than the liars who pretend to be good but can sell their family for power."

Feiyun enjoyed the praise and arched his chest: "You're right. Give me the embryo and I'll agree to any demand."

"Really?" Xinnu said.

"Of course! I am a man of my words, always." Feiyun nodded.

Xinnu's cheeks turned red as she lowered her head and nearly whispered: "If you can marry both Xiaonu and I, we'll give you the embryo. If you can't do this, we rather die before giving it to you."

"?" Feiyun's mouth became agape. He had never heard of such a nice demand before. He'll get the embryo on top of two cute girls?

Is she joking?

He actually thought about it before. Even if the two of them were to ask for the five million spirit stones, he would still risk offending the Evil Woman and give them the stones. After all, the embryo was far more precious.

What kind of demand was this?

'My charisma has reached this level?' He thought. However, he calmed down and started contemplating.

They wanted to be his wives, not just a simple one-night stand. These were two entirely different concepts.

An excellent man couldn't avoid women falling head over heels for them. They would come running and offer their body. As long as they weren't too unattractive, this man would naturally satisfy their demand.

After all, men were very straightforward regarding this matter, generous as well. They didn't mind giving away some of their… essences.

Of course, this was simply physical without any emotion and attachment behind it.

In fact, after that night, the girls might leave earlier in the morning.

This wasn't the case for marriage. This meant becoming companions and being responsible for her.

If the man couldn't be responsible, then they shouldn't touch her, not even one finger.

Thus, for a single man, marriage meant adding some restrictions.

Feiyun was actually a responsible man as long as both parties agreed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done so much for Nangong Hongyan.

He still had proper arrangements even for Lu Liwei and Bai Ruxue who didn't want him to do anything.

Other top cultivators would think that he cared too much about women. This only delayed his cultivation.

They simply viewed women as a beautiful work of art. They enjoyed it so they touched and collected; some would go a little crazy for women.

However, women were still nothing more than objects in their eyes. Their beauty wasn't enough to warrant love and true emotions. They only judged women with monetary and material value. They would definitely not slow down their cultivation for one.

If the enjoyment were to disappear one day, they would abandon these women in the blink of an eye and let them fend for themselves.

This was as common as can be for the top lords with numerous wives. Alas, Feiyun wasn't someone like that.

That's why he didn't accept Xinnu's demand. His expression became serious as he said: "Can you change your demand?"

"No." Xinnu remained resolute.

"But there's no love between us." Feiyun stroked his chin.

"Then there's nothing we can do. As I have said, we rather die than giving it to you." Xinnu has never been so sure of anything before.

He really wanted to accept the deal because only a fool would refuse something like this on principles.

"Let… me think about it." Feiyun frowned, still not accepting.

***

Bi Ningshuai and the turtle came back around this time after being pursued for more than 100,00 miles by the two tigers.

Ningshuai lost his shoes while the turtle's feet became as swollen as pig trotters.

"What? You refused such a nice thing?" Ningshuai became furious after hearing this. He tidied his clothes then said: "I guess I have no other choice. These two sisters are just too lonely now and want to find a friend to explore spring with. I have to sacrifice myself then."

He felt amazing and started walking forward. Unfortunately, he tripped on something and yelled: "Goddamn turtle, can you stop always sitting in front of me!?"

"You want me to be behind you? That's not fitting for someone of my status!" The turtle felt that all big shots stood at the front. That's how it should be for it as well.

"Give it up because if you keep playing around, Miss Honglian will cut your two things off and throw it into the ocean for the turtles to feast on."

"What two things?" The turtle's eyes lit up after hearing about potential food.

Bi Ningshuai immediately kicked it flying.

"So what's actually going on between you and Miss Honglian? Is she really your fiancee?" Feiyun asked.

"Yes, we were betrothed while still in the wombs, mmm, by my grandfather. Our clans are famous and later on, because of our talents, we were chosen by a bigger power to do some work. We met then and found out that we were actually engaged. Unfortunately, that's exactly when I was talking with a junior sister beneath the moonlight. My hand was right up in her bosom…"

"Ahem! No need for the details. So you're actually from Senluo?" Feiyun interrupted his recollection.

"What?"

"You said that you two were chosen by a bigger power, she's the second young lord of Senluo."

"Senluo isn't shit! A random general from my clan can annihilate it." Ningshuai looked up at the sky, trying to act like a badass.

"Haha, the thief is boasting again." The turtle slowly sauntered back, also pretending to be a big shot.

Feiyun smiled but didn't comment.

Ningshuai's face turned red as he stomped on the ground: "You don't believe me? If I deactivate my internal cultivation suppression, I can fight that heretical king for three hundred rounds."

"A young man lost in sexual debauchery has mental issues." The turtle laughed louder.

"Fuck! I'm actually mad now, being looked down on by insects like you two. It looks like I need to reveal my identity." Ningshuai tried to search in his chest pocket before taking out a badge.

It was made from an unknown spirit stone and contained magical power.

The turtle jumped up and took the badge from the youth. There were four words engraved on it - "War Faction". [1]

"War Faction? I've never heard of it, have you?" The turtle asked.

"No, insects like us can't understand this high-level stuff." Feiyun shook his head.

"Yea, insects can't see the world of the swans." The turtle added.

Ningshuai nearly vomited blood from the sarcasm. He grabbed the badge back and carefully put it away before speaking: "You country bumpkins! My ten years of training is about to be over and you'll find out how amazing I am soon. I can take on ten scoundrels like Feng Feiyun without a problem!"
