Chen Fei couldn’t resist his curiosity and once again pushed open the door, stepping inside. Feeling his way forward, he sat by the table and poured himself a cup of water.
On the Ice Bed.
Su Ran saw the blind old man come in again!
Su Ran: “…”
Chen Fei, his eyes vacant, sipped the water and said, “Sorry, maybe I’ve lost too much blood, so I always feel thirsty at night.”
Su Ran was speechless. “Take the teapot out with you and stop disturbing me!”
Chen Fei looked reluctant.
The truth was, his wife on the bed was just too beautiful.
Her long, fair legs curled up on the icy surface, and her proud, snow-white chest, barely concealed by the curtain, faintly revealed a hint of rosy color.
He really wanted to sit here and keep drinking water forever.
But since Su Ran had spoken, Chen Fei had no choice but to carry the teapot and leave the room.
Before long.
Outside the wedding chamber.
The sound of a rooster crowing filled the air.
The next moment.
Su Ran stepped out of her secret chamber, dressed in a long purple battle robe, her graceful figure exuding elegance.
She was stunningly beautiful—her delicate brows like the crescent moon, cheeks as fair as jade, and beneath her high, refined nose, her lips were a deep crimson.
In terms of looks alone, Su Ran was indeed three times more beautiful than Qin Shuang!
Su Ran looked at Chen Fei and said, “If there’s nothing urgent, try not to leave this house, and definitely don’t leave the Su residence. Miao Yue is my most trusted handmaiden, and you can rely on her completely.”
With that, Su Ran turned and left.
Chen Fei watched her departing figure, sighing in his heart.
Who would have thought that such a slender frame hid such overwhelming power?
At breakfast, Miao Yue delivered a food box—
A roasted chicken, two bowls of rice, and some warm wine.
Chen Fei only ate the food and rice, avoiding the alcohol. He needed his mind to stay sharp—for he was going to crush the Qin family and take his revenge!
After eating, Chen Fei stepped outside and asked Miao Yue, “I heard the Su family estate has a spiritual energy mine where cultivation progresses twice as fast. Can I enter?”
Miao Yue gave him a doubtful look.
This son-in-law was blind, his dantian destroyed, and yet he still wanted to cultivate?
She hesitated before saying, “Master, the Su family does have such a training ground. Any member of the Su family can enter. As Miss Su’s husband, you should be allowed as well. But before she left, Miss Su instructed—”
“Take me there,” Chen Fei interrupted, his voice calm but commanding.
Miao Yue swallowed the rest of her words.
At that moment, she realized that even though her master was disabled, he was still someone who could not be defied.
She took hold of Chen Fei’s arm and led him toward the left courtyard of the Su estate.
The left courtyard was vast, filled with rolling hills and dense bamboo forests.
At the entrance—
Su family guards blocked Chen Fei’s path.
Miao Yue stepped forward and said, “My master wishes to enter. According to Su family rules, he has the right.”
The guards glanced at Chen Fei and suddenly burst into laughter.
“Your master? A cripple? What use does he have entering?”
“He really thinks he’s the master here? Everyone knows Miss Su only married him as a shield!”
“A waste like him dreaming of entering the Su family’s sacred training ground? Ridiculous! Get lost!”
Chen Fei stood to the side, his brow furrowing.
A group of mere guards dared to insult him like this. It seemed Su Ran had her own difficulties within the Su family.
Miao Yue stepped forward, her sword ringing as she unsheathed it.
She snapped, “Silence! Master and Miss Su have bowed before heaven and earth, offered sacrifices to the ancestors—he is the Su family’s rightful son-in-law, your master! Show some respect, or I will not be merciful!”
The guards only laughed harder.
“What a joke! The eldest miss herself is struggling, why would we fear her, let alone a mere servant girl like you?”
“You’re quite pretty. Once the eldest miss marries into the City Lord’s estate, why don’t you stay here and become my woman?”
“Hahaha, I think she’ll end up in the City Lord’s estate as a concubine anyway!”
The group erupted in raucous laughter.
Miao Yue’s face darkened as she stepped forward, ready to strike.
Just then, two young men suddenly intervened.
One of them walked up to the lead guard and slapped him hard across the face.
“Are you trying to rebel? Chen Fei is Su Ran’s husband! Even if he’s a cripple, he is still your master! Get out of the way!” The young man shouted coldly.
The guards froze, then quickly stepped aside, looking bewildered.
Because the two young men standing before them—
Were Su Mingcheng and Su Mingcai.
These two were Su Ran’s cousins—her rivals within the family!
So why were they suddenly speaking up for her husband?
Su Mingcheng turned to Chen Fei, smiling. “Brother-in-law, I apologize for this unpleasantness. The Su family is a renowned household in Yellow Mist City, and it is our failing to have such disrespectful servants.”
Chen Fei cupped his hands and nodded in thanks.
Su Mingcheng continued, “Please, go ahead. From now on, you are one of the Su family’s core members. You are free to use the training ground whenever you wish.”
Standing beside them, Miao Yue grew uneasy.
Gripping Chen Fei’s sleeve, she whispered nervously, “Master, I don’t think Su Mingcheng and Su Mingcai mean well. We should stay away.”
Chen Fei shook his head. “Wait here. I must go. I will find a way to cultivate again.”
With that, he took his bamboo cane and, staggering slightly, walked into the Su family’s left courtyard.
Behind him, Su Mingcheng and Su Mingcai watched with smirks on their faces.
Inside the training ground.
A surge of dense spiritual energy greeted him.
Chen Fei was surprised.
No wonder the Su family remained one of the top three powers in Yellow Mist City.
Beneath this training ground, there must be a small-scale spiritual energy vein!
Currently, Yellow Mist City was ruled by three major families—Su, Qin, and Lin.
The Lin family controlled agriculture. The Su family had the mines. The Qin family managed the trade caravans that transported treasures.
Indeed, all three had their unique strengths.
However, the Qin family’s commercial empire was only possible because of him—a transmigrator!
Chen Fei glanced around. Seeing no one, he quickly put away his cane and sprinted toward a secluded mining pit.
He knew full well that Su Mingcheng and Su Mingcai had ulterior motives.
But he wasn’t afraid!
After all, who would suspect that a blind man could actually see a little?
Sitting cross-legged in the hidden pit, Chen Fei activated the Ten Thousand Dao Cultivation Technique.
Immediately, spiritual energy surged toward him, devoured by the Void Heaven Cauldron within his ruined dantian.
The absorption rate was far beyond his expectations—
It was like a black hole consuming everything!
“The Void Heaven Cauldron absorbs spiritual energy at an unimaginable speed!”
“My cultivation will skyrocket!”
“In three days, I will have my revenge!”
Chen Fei continued absorbing energy, letting it course through his body, restoring his strength.
Two hours later.
The once-dense spiritual energy in the training ground had been nearly drained!
Chen Fei’s cultivation had soared to the eighth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm—he was now an eighth-grade Spirit Master!
Just then, voices and footsteps approached from the distance.
“Mingcai, something’s wrong. The spiritual energy in our courtyard feels unusually thin today.”
“And that blind cripple—where did he go? Why can’t we find him?”
