Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Two lanterns were lit inside, their warm light making the small room exceptionally bright.

"Prajna is different from before."

Lin Feng gently tapped the lantern wall with his fingertips.

"They can actually afford candles now."

For ordinary people, the cheapest form of nighttime lighting was oil lamps, and candles were considered rare items.

"Thanks to Brother Tuolin, I am now Mr. Zhang's disciple."

Du Banruo smiled as she poured wine for Lin Feng, her eyes full of joy.

"I can earn an extra monthly allowance by accompanying Mr. Zhang on his daily house calls."

"Mr. Zhang said that when he has some free time, he will teach me his unique acupuncture technique!"

The crisp aroma of wine filled the dining table. Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "Banruo, how are the three patients who were poisoned now?"

The three had been under Zhang Jing's care and treatment, but there had been no progress so far.

"That's a lot!"

Du Banruo quickly reported the good news: "Mr. Zhang has been giving them acupuncture and medicine every day, and they are no longer having an attack."

"Although my body is still a bit weak, as long as I don't do heavy work, I'm no different from an ordinary person."

"Brother Lin, please!" She held the wine glass with both hands and respectfully toasted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng bowed slightly and accepted the wine glass with both hands.

"That's good!"

"That brother was poisoned while he was investigating the Green Snake Society's headquarters. If anything were to happen to him, I would feel really guilty."

He paused for a moment, then gently clinked glasses with Du Banruo.

"Prajna, Brother Lin, thank you so much for the invitation today! Cheers!"

He downed the strong liquor in one gulp, the spiciness shooting straight to the top of his head, instantly invigorating Lin Feng.

"Excellent wine!"

He praised it loudly, but Du Banruo across from him had already turned bright red, covering her lips and sticking out her tongue, her voice trembling: "So...so spicy!"

Seeing her like this, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You've never drunk alcohol before? Why didn't you say so earlier? Don't drink anymore."

"No!"

Du Banruo stubbornly picked up the wine pot and poured himself more wine.

"Brother Lin, you've barely escaped death, I must have a few drinks with you to celebrate."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Lin Feng had no choice but to tell her to drink slowly.

Du Banruo's cooking skills are excellent, especially his pies, which are baked to a perfect crispy exterior and tender interior, with an irresistible aroma.

The two ate while talking about their lives since they parted ways.

Since becoming Mr. Zhang's disciple, Du Banruo's life has become increasingly busy.

She takes a day off every three days, but even on her days off, she doesn't rest. She always goes to the places where she used to make house calls to provide low-cost medical care to people who can't afford medical treatment.

If they encountered someone who was truly impoverished, they would not charge them a penny and would even send them some medicinal herbs.

As a result, although her income increased, she didn't save much money at all.

The new clothes she was wearing today had almost cost her all her savings.

"Look how thin you are!"

Lin Feng raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, saying softly, "Instead of buying clothes, why not buy more food to nourish yourself?"

"You didn't spend the money I sent you?"

By this time, Du Banruo had already drunk several cups, and her cheeks were as red as a ripe apple, revealing a touch of naivety.

"I've kept all the silver notes Brother Lin gave me; I can't spend them."

Why?

Lin Feng tried to pull his hand away, but Du Banruo held it tightly.

"Because... Prajna is afraid that Brother Lin won't be able to come back, and Sister Yuwei and Sister Wan'er will have a hard time making a living."

Du Banruo, who was grinning innocently just a moment ago, suddenly became tearful, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I need to save the money for them in case of emergency..."

"Brother Lin, I thought you were dead! Waaah..."

The girl held his hand and cried her heart out.

Lin Feng panicked and quickly got up to comfort him.

"I'm back now, aren't I? Prajna, Brother Lin is alright, how could he die so easily?"

"I promised your older brother that I would take good care of you for the rest of my life."

He gently patted Du Banruo's back, but Du Banruo cried even harder.

"Prajna cried all night. I'm so afraid that Brother Lin is gone, and that no one will ever come to see me or be kind to me again... Waaah..."

She was crying and snotting as she talked on and on about how scared and tormented she was during the nights when Lin Feng didn't return with the rebel army.

Lin Feng's heart softened, and he simply pulled her into his arms.

He never knew that he was so important to this young girl, that he had become an indispensable support for her.

Gradually, Du Banruo's crying subsided.

She reached out and hugged Lin Feng's neck, tilting her reddened eyes up and whispering, "Brother Lin, have you thought about Banruo? Banruo misses you terribly."

Seeing her tear-streaked, pitiful appearance, Lin Feng's heart warmed, and he said in a deep voice, "I want to."

Before he finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed Du Banruo's cherry lips.

The kiss was passionate and domineering, catching Du Banruo off guard.

Her eyes widened suddenly, then she closed them with a slight tremor, completely immersed in this unexpected passion.

A mix of heat and confusion, and a head already slurred by alcohol, grew even more drowsy under Raymond Lam's gentle advances.

By the time Du Banruo came to her senses, the two had already moved from the dining table to the bed.

"Brother Lin..." she called softly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Lin Feng responded, his fingertips skillfully untying the sash around her waist and gently parting her bodice.

Du Banruo gazed at him with fascination, raised her hand to gently stroke his cheek, and spoke in a voice as soft as water.

"Brother Lin, please don't leave tonight?"

The girl's whisper shattered the last shred of reason Lin Feng had left.

His movements became more hurried, which made Du Banruo feel a little timid.

As she removed her long coat and horse-face skirt, Du Banruo huddled up shyly, not daring to look at Lin Feng's exposed chest.

Her cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed.

Lin Feng gently pulled her tightly clenched hands apart and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Brother Lin will go slower."

Du Banruo nodded gently, closed her eyes, and silently welcomed her transformation from a girl to a woman.

A slight stinging sensation accompanied by a blush of crimson caused Du Banruo to furrow her brows and clutch the corner of the blanket tightly...

[Goddess: Du Banruo]

Appearance rating: 96

[Entry: Skilled Healers (Proficient in treating difficult and complex diseases, internal and external injuries)]

[Current affinity with the host: 26 (When affinity reaches 100, the host will fully acquire this entry)]

[Congratulations, host, on completing the initial strategy! Agility points +3]

[Congratulations, host, on your two victories in two battles! You have received a two-day bonus to the "Miraculous Healing" skill.]

[Du Banruo's favorability +10]

In the stillness of the night, Du Banruo slept soundly, tears still staining her face and her face flushed.

Lin Feng closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

He hasn't received any Agility bonuses in a long time.

With these three improvements, his physical fitness has clearly reached a new level.

The changes in the leg muscles are the most noticeable.

The muscles and bones in his arms also became stronger.

"It's a pity I couldn't gain any more power points or temporary enlightenment points."

Lin Feng had previously learned the Taishan Three-Layer Waves Knife Technique and horsemanship through his two temporary enlightenment points.

But the Three-Layer Waves of Mount Tai is ultimately a short-weapon technique, and he always wanted to learn a long-weapon martial art.

In the future, with frequent mounted battles, relying solely on one sword technique will certainly not be enough.

"Temporary enlightenment points depend entirely on luck. If I have some free time these next few days, I should go back and spend more time with Yuwei. Maybe I can get some."

Lin Feng gently stroked Du Banruo's smooth, fair skin, and in the moonlight from the window, he suddenly noticed a mark on her collarbone.

"Um?!"

He squinted slightly to examine it closely, and it turned out to be a peculiar tattoo.

The flower's stamens are divided into two, arranged on either side of the center of the flower.

There is also a winding mark in the middle of the flower's stamen, which divides the entire flower in two.

With its scattered petals, it looks remarkably like a yin-yang symbol at first glance.

"This is?"

Lin Feng frowned, and a name suddenly came to mind—Xuanji Palace!
