Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hehe, Young Master Lu, there's no need to be nervous..."

Bei Chenwan smiled faintly and said, "Although the selection of a husband involves three tests, I don't care about wealth, strength, or charm..."

"Miss Wan'er, could it be that you mean...?"

"That's right."

Bei Chenwan suddenly flashed and landed in front of Lu Feng. She then grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with affection. "Young Master Lu, you should be able to tell..."

"Whether it's Mu Yuan standing to the side, or those suitors around us, these people are only after the power and influence of the Beichen clan and my beauty. In the end, they are all just a bunch of ordinary mortals..."

"But Young Master Lu, you are different..."

At this point, Bei Chenwan changed the subject again, while simultaneously gripping Lu Feng's arm tightly, "Because your eyes are very clear, and you have no worldly desires whatsoever, even regarding 'wine, women, wealth, and power' as dung..."

"So, you're different from these ordinary mortals; you're the man I've truly been looking for..."

"Miss Wan'er, I'm sorry!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Feng hurriedly interrupted him, his face showing a hint of flattery. "I truly have no intention of participating in the selection of a son-in-law, and my status is too low. I'm afraid I cannot accept Miss Wan'er's feelings, nor am I suitable to marry into the Beichen clan..."

"Therefore, please forgive me, Miss Wan'er!"

After saying that, Lu Feng was afraid that the other party would continue to pester him, so he quickly broke free from the arm and then turned around and left the platform.

"Young Master Lu, you...!"

Seeing Lu Feng refuse her again and even turn and run away, Bei Chenwan was stunned, her pretty face showing some surprise.

After all, there used to be a line of men pursuing her that could stretch for more than a dozen blocks, and she was already used to being the center of attention.

On the contrary, Lu Feng in front of her ignored her and even rejected her repeatedly. Thinking of this, Bei Chenwan was naturally very surprised and even became somewhat insecure about her appearance.

"Young Master Lu, please wait!"

Upon realizing that Lu Feng was not playing hard to get but was determined to leave, Bei Chenwan didn't have time to think and immediately chased after him.

"Depend on!"

"Could this woman really be a cursed star, bringing misfortune to her husbands and children? Is that why she's in such a hurry to find a man to take her in?"

Facing the relentless pursuit of Bei Chenwan, Lu Feng was also terrified and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After all, the territory of the Beichen clan was shrouded in a hidden demonic aura, and there were rumors that she was destined to be a lone star, so she was not an ordinary woman. Such a woman was not someone that ordinary people could marry!

Moreover, Bei Chenwan's tastes are quite unique. She ignores Mu Yuan and a group of suitors, but now she shamelessly follows Lu Feng, this unknown rogue cultivator!

Thinking of this, Lu Feng's expression became even more strange.

Could it be that the other person is a masochist? The more someone refuses, the more they want to get close to them?

"Damn it, if I'd known this woman was a masochist, I wouldn't have gone over there to join the fun...!"

Lu Feng inwardly groaned.

"Alright, Wan'er!"

Just as Lu Feng was figuring out how to get rid of Bei Chenwan's entanglement, Bei Chenlie's cold shout suddenly came from the side.

The next moment, Bei Chenlie stood up from the armchair and, in a flash, stopped Bei Chenwan, who was hot on her heels. "As the eldest daughter of the dignified Bei Chen clan, how can you disregard lady's etiquette and chase after a complete stranger in public? What kind of behavior is this!"

"As for today's son-in-law selection ceremony, there's no need to continue with that; your father will make the decision for you!"

After stopping Bei Chenwan, Bei Chenlie didn't waste any words. He flicked his sleeves, seemingly intending to personally choose a suitable husband for her.

"Father, what's wrong...!"

Seeing that Bei Chenlie was about to interfere in her marriage again, Bei Chenwan frowned, hesitant to speak.

However, before Bei Chenwan could throw a tantrum, she saw Bei Chenlie cast a stern look at her, clearly serious and determined not to allow her to continue her nonsense!

After all, the Beichen Clan is the leading clan of the Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses. Right now, instead of choosing a top-notch son-in-law like Mu Yuan, the young master of the Mu family, who is a near-fourth-rank noble family, they turn around and accept Lu Feng, an unknown rogue cultivator. It's like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon!

Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will become a huge joke and greatly damage the reputation and prestige of their Beichen clan!

"Phew, finally rid of that girl's pestering me...!"

Seeing Bei Chenwan being stopped, Lu Feng, who was running at full speed, also stopped. He then looked back at her and said, "Forget it! It seems I'll have to think of another way to infiltrate the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun, while also inquiring about the whereabouts of the Wusheng Sect and Xiaoyu..."

"Miss Wan'er actively pursued this person, yet he directly rejected her?"

"Damn it! This kid is such a show-off! Does he really have absolutely no interest in Miss Wan'er?"

"It can't be real! With Wan'er's stunning beauty, any normal man would be tempted, right? Could this kid named Lu Feng be a eunuch, and doesn't actually have two 'demon balls' down there?"

On the sidelines, seeing Lu Feng not only repeatedly refuse Bei Chenwan but also turn around and run away, many of the suitors cast envious glances at him and couldn't help but gossip, with most of them feeling a bit schadenfreude.

"Damn it! These bastards actually think I'm a eunuch?!"

Faced with the gossip and chatter of the crowd around him, Lu Feng's face darkened, and anger surged within him.

However, he ultimately resisted the urge to go on a killing spree and did not act rashly.

After all, this was the territory of the Beichen clan, and there were many people proposing marriage here. No matter how strong Lu Feng was, he could not fight against a hundred people alone. Therefore, he could only endure the rumors and gossip.

"Strange, where did Brother Jiang go?"

Before leaving, Lu Feng looked around again, but found no trace of Jiang Chenglu, which surprised him.

Since the other party came to watch the show in the first place, and now that the show is not over yet, Jiang Chenglu himself has disappeared, which is naturally a bit abnormal.

"First there was the mentally unstable Song Fei, then Bei Chenwan, who was destined to be a cursed lone star, and finally, the mysterious source of demonic energy. Lianyun Eighteen Fortresses is indeed abnormal; no wonder murders are occurring so frequently..."

"Until I figure out the situation and the source of the demonic energy, I'd better hide and observe the situation..."

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Lu Feng frowned slightly, then stopped thinking about it and immediately turned to leave, flying towards Yunxia Mountain outside the Eighteen Fortresses of Lianyun.

Meanwhile, the son-in-law selection event was also drawing to a close.

"Mu Yuan, your performance was excellent. You truly live up to your reputation as a young member of the Mu family of Hedong Prefecture. Our Beichen clan needs a prodigy like you..."

Bei Chenlie leaped down in front of Mu Yuan, then patted the man's shoulder, his aged face full of admiration. "As for Wan'er, she's not young anymore. I hope you'll treat her well in the future and not disappoint this old man..."

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan was equally excited. He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said, "This junior will definitely take good care of Wan'er and ensure she suffers no grievance or harm...!"

Although Bei Chenlie didn't say it explicitly, he wasn't stupid and immediately understood the meaning behind the other party's words. The champion of today's son-in-law selection meeting, and Bei Chenwan's future husband, was clearly none other than Mu Yuan!

However, compared to Mu Yuan's excited expression, Bei Chenwan remained silent, her pretty face slightly pale, and she gently bit her lip, clearly dissatisfied with the arrangement of this marriage.

...

Meanwhile, in an unnamed cave on the outskirts of Yunxia Mountain...

hum!

Lu Feng sat cross-legged inside the cave, his eyes tightly closed. He was surrounded by streams of silvery-white Yuan energy, which emitted warm, mysterious light, suggesting that he was at a crucial juncture in his breakthrough.

"Just a little bit more..."

As his dantian absorbed more and more Yuan energy, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel his whole body getting hot, and a bead of sweat dripped from his forehead. It seemed that breaking through the barrier of his realm this time was not as easy as he had imagined!

"Break through for me...!"

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Feng noticed that his dantian energy was gradually approaching fullness. He roared and then suddenly opened his eyes, simultaneously pushing the cultivation efficiency of the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique to its limit!

boom!

With a slight tremor coming from his dantian, Lu Feng's body trembled slightly, and then his Yuan energy surged more than double, breaking through the tenth level of the Yuan Sea Realm in one fell swoop!

Moreover, the moment Lu Feng broke through his cultivation, the overflowing new Yuan energy enveloped the entire cave, creating a vast ocean of Yuan energy, which was quite extraordinary!
