Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Uh, Senior Qin, you..."

"Hey! You really are something! I told you not to call me 'senior,' but you still did!"

Seeing Ren Tianxing's dullness, Qin Xiaowu couldn't help but get a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, Miss Qin has always been straightforward, please don't mind. As for those honorifics, let's skip them..."

At this moment, Lu Feng also slowly walked over, and then said with a helpless expression, as if he knew Qin Xiaowu's temperament and preferences very well.

In his impression, Qin Xiaowu not only cared a lot about her figure, but also about her age, so she didn't like being called "senior".

Besides, it does seem a bit incongruous that Ren Tianxing, an old man over a hundred years old, is now addressing Qin Xiaowu, a young girl, as "senior."

"I see, it was my rudeness...!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Tianxing's expression froze slightly, then an awkward smile appeared on his lips. "Young Brother Lu, and Miss Qin...!"

"Regardless of the circumstances, the lives of myself, Brother Liancheng, and all the members of the royal family were saved by you. I am truly grateful for this life-saving grace, and have no way to repay it!"

"Your Majesty is too kind. These are merely my duties."

"Furthermore, the Yun family, as traitors, colluded with the Wusheng Demonic Sect and deserve to be killed by everyone..."

When Ren Tianxing expressed his gratitude, Lu Feng simply waved his hand, his tone remaining very polite.

"Huh? When did this kid change his ways?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Seeing Lu Feng being so polite and modest, and asking for nothing in return, Qin Xiaowu raised her eyebrows slightly, looking puzzled.

Because, if she remembered correctly, Lu Feng had always been a master who was greedy for small gains and fearless of death, and he always had to get something out of him every time he made a move. He was the kind of person who would pluck a feather from a passing goose and leave nothing behind!

But now, in the face of Ren Tianxing's thanks, Lu Feng surprisingly did not ask for anything in return. Qin Xiaowu was naturally very surprised and wondered if the other party had suddenly changed his personality.

However, Qin Xiaowu never expected that Lu Feng's apparent lack of expectation of return was merely a polite gesture. In reality, he was only refraining from making exorbitant demands because of Ren Tianxing, his future father-in-law.

"No!"

Shaking his head again, Ren Tianxing's face was resolute, as if he had regained the majestic aura of a ruler of a country. "Young Brother Lu, I must repay this kindness. I am not one to forget gratitude!"

"Not only will I bestow upon you a higher official rank and title, but I will also personally preside over your wedding ceremony with my concubine!"

"A promotion? A wedding ceremony?"

"Pfft...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Feng froze on the spot, while Qin Xiaowu, who was standing to the side, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You, Lu Feng! You...you actually have another woman outside!"

Qin Xiaowu looked at Lu Feng in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"Fine! I know! Not only have you already fallen for someone else, but you've also taken a liking to another woman! What a waste of Junior Sister Yun's devotion to you!"

"You scumbag, you heartless bastard! If I'd known you were this kind of scum, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"

With her hands on her hips, Qin Xiaowu pointed at Lu Feng's nose and cursed loudly. Her pretty face was flushed red, like a ripe apple, and she seemed to be furious.

"What the heck?!"

Faced with Qin Xiaowu's rambling, Lu Feng was somewhat bewildered. He quickly interrupted her, saying with a speechless expression, "Qin Xiaowu, can you please listen to others finish speaking in the future?"

"First, I have not fallen in love with anyone else. I treat both Yun'er and Miss Ren equally. Second, the marriage that His Majesty mentioned is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words..."

"Treat everyone equally?"

Hearing this, Qin Xiaowu's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "You, Lu Feng, so you still...!"

Before the other person could utter the word "scumbag," Lu Feng covered their mouth with his hand, simultaneously transmitting his voice, "Miss Qin, whether you believe it or not, my love for Yun'er and Miss Ren is the same, and I cannot do without either of them...!"

"Let's leave this matter for now. I'll explain to Yun'er myself when the opportunity arises... Trust me!"

"You... fine!"

Faced with Lu Feng's clear eyes and sincere expression, Qin Xiaowu still found it hard to accept, but in the end she chose to give him a chance and did not continue to pester him.

"And another thing! If I ever discover that you have betrayed Junior Sister Yun, I will not let you off easily!"

Although she chose to trust Lu Feng for the time being, Qin Xiaowu didn't seem entirely at ease and immediately issued another warning.

Lu Feng simply smiled and remained silent.

Because his feelings for Ye Yun are as clear as day and have never wavered!

"Young Master Lu, Miss Qin, are you alright...?"

Seeing that Lu Feng and Qin Xiaowu had finally calmed down, Ren Tianxing spoke up again, his tone tentative.

At first, he never imagined that his mere interest in Lu Feng, a wealthy and eligible bachelor, and his plan to arrange for him to marry his beloved daughter, Ren Xuanfei, would elicit such a strong reaction from Qin Xiaowu.

Could it be that Qin Xiaowu in front of us has also fallen for Lu Feng?

Upon realizing this, Ren Tianxing felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

After all, given Qin Xiaowu's strength and abilities, if the other party really took a liking to Lu Feng, how could his daughter have gotten on the horse? Even if Lu Feng eventually accepted her, Consort Ren would only be able to condescend to be a concubine!

"I am fine, Your Majesty need not worry."

Just as Ren Tianxing was lost in thought, Lu Feng broke the awkward silence, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have no objection to promotions and titles, but as for the wedding ceremony, shouldn't we ask Miss Ren for her opinion..."

"I have no objections!"

Before the words were finished, a sharp, forceful shout came from the side.

"So you're that Qin Xiaowu?"

"That 'confidante' that Lu Feng mentioned before?"

The next moment, Ren Xuanfei leaped over, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Xiaowu opposite her, as if she were her mortal rival in love, ignoring even Lu Feng standing to the side.

"A confidante?"

"No! When did I say that...?"

Lu Feng was a little confused.

"By the way, Miss Ren, about your injuries..."

"Step back! This is none of your business!"

Lu Feng was about to speak to show concern for the other party when he was interrupted by Ren Xuanfei's stern shout.

Ren Xuanfei's face was cold and stern, her eyes blazing with fire. She showed no trace of the demeanor of a princess awaiting marriage, but rather resembled a rooster vying for favor and attention. Moreover, she was filled with intense hostility towards Qin Xiaowu.

"Oh ho ho, I thought she was some kind of celestial beauty, but she's just a little yellow-haired girl!"

Faced with Ren Xuanfei's aggressive questioning, Qin Xiaowu simply crossed her arms, remaining calm and composed. At that moment, her signature little tiger tooth reappeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said with a slightly mocking tone, "If I'm not mistaken, it was you, you little brat, who seduced Lu Feng, wasn't it? Seeing you today, you certainly have something..."

"However, I am quite curious, what kind of evil magic did you, young lady, use to bewitch Lu Feng so completely?"

"Completely infatuated? Seriously, where did you get this rumor from? I've never heard of it before...!"

Hearing this, Lu Feng, who was standing to the side, was even more confused.

Why are Qin Xiaowu and Ren Xuanfei, who are standing in front of me, both so good at making up lies?

Could this be a racial talent that girls are born with?

"You're not bad either."

Ren Xuanfei snorted coldly, her smile insincere, "Hmph! She clearly has a pretty face, yet she specializes in petty theft and seducing married men—a shameless vixen! Even among vixens, her thick skin would place her among the top..."

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

Upon hearing Ren Xuanfei call her a vixen, Qin Xiaowu's face darkened, and she flew into a rage.

After all, he was a core disciple of the prestigious Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, and had never suffered such an insult before. Moreover, the other party was just a young girl from a remote country!

"Miss Qin, Miss Ren, I think there might be some misunderstanding..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Feng was about to step forward to smooth things over when he was glared at fiercely by the two women, causing him to freeze in place.

"Ladies, please continue. I apologize for disturbing you! Farewell!"

Faced with Qin Xiaowu and Ren Xuanfei's murderous gazes, Lu Feng, like a thousand-year-old turtle, immediately shrunk back, not daring to interrupt again.
