The Zhou Mingchu couple were furious at Qin Feng's remarks. He frowned deeply, his tone cold and firm: "You're juggling two relationships now—do you really think you have a point? I know you're a military officer from the Ministry of National Defense, and you have powerful allies behind you. But I, Zhou, am no pushover. For my daughter, I'll go all the way—either you win or we both lose!"
Mrs. Zhou responded with equal intensity: "Qin Feng, I urge you to cut all ties with Si Si right away. We can simply pretend nothing ever happened. Otherwise, as my husband just said, we'll go all the way—either you win or we both lose!"
Zhou Mu Si frowned slightly: "Dad, Mom, please don't interfere anymore. I'm no longer a child—I clearly know what I'm doing. I chose to be with Feng myself. What's the matter with threatening me now? Let me tell you the truth: during our time in Pingluan City, Si Si, my cousin, and Feng lived together. We never had the kind of rivalry you imagined, nor did either of us feel betrayed!"
"What? You've all been living together? The Eighty-Eleven Electronic Book." Zhou Mingchu instinctively reached for his waist, only to realize he hadn't brought his gun. Zhou Xiao Niu gracefully wrapped her arms around Qin Feng's arm and said, "We don't just live together—we've also experienced all the things that were meant to happen. Feng is my one and only choice in life. We can never part ways!" Zhou Mingchu picked up the wine bottle on the table and prepared to go up and fight Qin, the young man. "Uncle Zhou, I urge you to calm down. First, a gentleman speaks rather than acts physically. Second, even if you do act, do you really think you can beat me?" He smiled. "My relationship with Si Si was destined from the start. Don't you want to hear the reasons behind it?" Zhou Fu took the wine bottle from her husband and said, "Why don't we hear what they have to say first? We can always fight later!" "What do you mean 'later'? We won't allow any physical confrontation at all!"
"Zhou Xiaoniu hummed, 'You two just stand there! Sit down and talk!' As she said that, she naturally settled herself onto Qin Dashi's legs, while Qin Dashi, in turn, effortlessly wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Zhou Mingchu was furious, biting his teeth in annoyance—playing the romantic in front of me? Are you trying to defy the heavens? Zhou Fu quickly gave him a look, signaling that this was entirely Zhou Xiaoniu's initiative in sitting on Qin Dashi's legs—how could he possibly be upset? Zhou Uncle glared and sat down with a heavy sigh; though the floor was covered with thick carpet, the chairs still creaked loudly, a clear expression of his dissatisfaction.
Qin Feng paid no attention to this approach of his until after the two had taken their seats, when he then calmly said, "You should know that Si Si's constitution is unlike ordinary people. She was born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour—what is known as the pure Yin constitution..."
Zhou Mingchu interrupted him: "Qin Feng, your explanations may satisfy those who are superstitious, but I'm a firm materialist—there's no way you can fool me..."
Mrs. Zhou interrupted: "Listen to Qin Feng continue. Si Si indeed was born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, and Yin hour—not only have fortune-tellers mentioned this, but even the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple has confirmed it. He says this is a constitution that is cursed by heaven, and that Si Si may not live past eighteen!"
Zhou Mingchu stared at her: "When did you start believing in all this? It's pure nonsense!"
Mrs. Zhou gave him a look: "All these things are real in Zhexi. Why should I doubt them? Qin Feng, keep going—don't stop!"
The couple had already developed disagreements—something he hadn't anticipated, thinking he'd have to spend considerable time convincing them. He explained in detail what a pure yin constitution was. When he mentioned that people with this type of constitution typically passed away young, Mrs. Zhou grew visibly tense. Still, Zhou Mingchu remained unconvinced, maintaining a look of disdain. Zhou Xiaoniu grew increasingly anxious and interjected, "Only Fengge can heal my pure yin constitution. During our time together, my condition has changed dramatically!" "Sisi, he's simply lying to you!" Zhou Mingchu couldn't take it anymore. You're usually so smart, how could you be deceived by him? How could you be tricked into bed and still defend him? What's a pure yin constitution? Nonsense! Qin Feng knew that without presenting something tangible, he wouldn't be able to win over this determined Zhou elder. With a wave of his right hand, he summoned a dragon of fire.
The couple were speechless. Zhou Muzi stepped in as the commentator: "Feng isn't an ordinary person—he's a cultivator!"
"Cultivator," Zhou's wife said with genuine enthusiasm, as if her mother-in-law were gazing at her son.
After a brief moment of surprise, Zhou Mingchu scoffed, "It's just some江湖 performance—do you really think I'd be fooled?"
Well, if it's a performance, then go ahead and perform something for me!
Zhou Muzi waved his arm and said, "Just bring something impressive—I'm not going to take it easy!"
Zhou's father was quite annoyed—am I still your father?
Qin Feng summoned the Qinggang Sword, which began flying erratically above the four of them.
This time, both spouses were truly stunned. Zhou Mingchu kept staring at the flying sword, murmuring, "How is this possible? Is this really true?"
"Of course it's true, Dad—now, don't you think this is just some江湖 performance?" asked the young girl.
Old Zhou swallowed a big gulp of saliva and said, "I give up. But what can all this prove? I still don't believe a word about the pure yin constitution!"
Qin the Young Man truly wanted to slap him right then—he had already seen his brother go through so much, and he still didn't believe.
"I believe it," said Mrs. Zhou, pulling his arm and shaking it gently. "I've always believed that my daughter has a pure yin constitution. Recently, I've been on edge, constantly worried about any unexpected mishaps. To meet Xiao Feng is truly a blessing for our daughter. Once her constitution is fully transformed, we'll no longer have to worry about anything!"
Zhou Xiao Niu added, "It's not just her constitution changing—after that, I can also join Feng brother in practicing cultivation. Dad, you should update your mindset. Materialism is certainly good, but it's just too rigid!"
Mrs. Zhou beamed with a smile, "Sisi, I've heard that cultivators live very long, isn't that right?"
"The younger girl nodded. 'That's right. As long as someone isn't a complete fool, living two or three hundred years is nothing short of a breeze. Now you understand why I and my cousin have stayed loyal to Feng brother, don't you? We'll stay by his side until the sea dries up and the stones turn to dust. Moreover, Feng brother isn't just accompanied by me and my cousin—he has several other sisters as well. We get along wonderfully!" At this, Qin the young noble proudly lifted his chin.
