NOVEL NEXT Chapter 28: A Surge of Heavenly Spiritual Roots
In the inner courtyard of the Feng family, cries of agony echoed intermittently, lasting for nearly an hour. The Feng family members sat on the ground, exhausted. Feng Yuan had elevated the talents of all the direct descendants to Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Of course, this was only the first step. Feng Yuan would continue to enhance their qualifications in the future.
The faces of the Feng family's direct descendants were filled with joy.
"Heavenly Spiritual Roots! I can't believe I have Heavenly Spiritual Roots now!"
"This level of talent is rare even in the five major cities. I've heard that even in the Jinghong Empire, only two or three people possess such a qualification."
"Oh my god, someone slap me, this feels like a dream."
Slap!
"Feng Kongshan, did you really just hit me? I know whether it's real or not! I was just trying to express my shock! But you hit me so hard,was that on purpose?"
Feng Kongshan looked aggrieved. "You told me to hit you!"
Feng Qingyun was also overjoyed. With a group of people in the Feng family now having Heavenly Spiritual Roots, how could the family not rise to prominence in the future?
Feng Kongshan suddenly spoke, "The Young Lord has enhanced your qualifications,aren't you going to thank him immediately?"
Though no one understood how Feng Yuan could accomplish such a miraculous feat, that didn't matter anymore. The future of the Feng family certainly belonged to Feng Yuan, so now was the time for the younger generation to foster a good relationship with him, which would benefit them greatly in the future.
The younger generation quickly realized this. They all stood up and bowed in unison. "Thank you, Young Lord!"
At this moment, the way they looked at Feng Yuan had changed. There was reverence and gratitude in their eyes.
Feng Yuan simply smiled and nodded.
Feng Kongshan suddenly turned serious, "No one is allowed to leave yet. Everyone must head to the Grand Elder's place first."
The other elders understood Feng Kongshan's intent right away. Today's events could not be revealed; otherwise, it would bring disaster upon the Feng family.
Being able to enhance someone's spiritual roots was something unheard of, even in the oldest of texts. There were treasures that could strengthen one's body or increase their potential, but what Feng Yuan had done was fundamentally different. He had changed their very essence,something of an entirely different level.
Feng Yunqian also spoke up, "Everyone, follow me."
Among the direct descendants, some were confused about what was happening, while others, who were more astute, understood the necessity of secrecy.
After everyone left, Feng Yuan glanced at Little han beside him and calmly said, "Little han, come over as well."
Little han hesitated for a moment, but then her face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Young Lord!"
Before long, the courtyard echoed with Little han agonized screams. For Feng Yuan, enhancing Little han's spiritual roots was simple. The girl had been loyal and competent in her duties, so raising her level would enable her to be of even more help.
The courtyard soon quieted again. Little han's pain had subsided, and she now felt the rapid influx of spiritual energy into her body. Her face lit up with excitement.
"From now on, I also have Heavenly Spiritual Roots!"
Little han immediately knelt before Feng Yuan, her voice filled with respect. "Thank you, Young Lord, for this great gift!"
Feng Yuan spoke indifferently, "I've given you Heavenly Spiritual Roots to ensure you do your job well. Do not disappoint me."
Little han's expression turned solemn as she promised, "Young Lord, rest assured. I am yours for this life and the next. I will never betray you."
She knew very well that what mattered most to Feng Yuan wasn't competence,it was loyalty. There were countless others who were more efficient than her, but Feng Yuan had still chosen to elevate her. That meant he valued her loyalty above all else.
Her heart surged with emotion, realizing that all she needed to do to gain favor was to stay loyal to Feng Yuan.
Feng Yuan casually replied, "I hope you're not just saying that."
As he turned to head back to his room, Little han looked at him with flushed cheeks and nervously bit her lip. She hesitated but finally asked, "Young Lord... do you need me to serve you tonight?"
In the Feng family, maids not only attended to their masters' daily needs but also, when necessary, served them in bed. This was considered normal.
Feng Yuan raised an eyebrow and continued walking into his room without closing the door behind him.
Seeing this, Little han's face brightened with excitement. She quickly followed him into the room, removing her clothes as she approached the bed, where Feng Yuan had already laid down.
Recalling the instructions from the family steward on how to serve her master, Little han's face flushed even more as she undid Feng Yuan's robe.
The night was long, and the morning mist greeted a refreshing new day.
Feng Yuan emerged from his room, looking completely revitalized. Little han, following closely behind him, was a bit unsteady on her feet,evidence of her defeat from the previous night.
Feeling utterly content, Feng Yuan reminded himself that he wasn't in earth . Since he had been transported to this world, he intended to live life to the fullest. Why live a life of celibacy when he could enjoy the pleasures of life?
A man desires three things most: power, wealth, and women.
A wise man wouldn't choose just one,he would take all three!
And so, when Little han had offered herself last night, Feng Yuan had not refused.
However, there was still one family member whose spiritual roots had not yet been enhanced,Feng Hongyuan. The old man had just broken through to the Level 6 , so his realm was still unstable. He had gone into seclusion the moment he returned home. Feng Yuan decided to find time to enhance his spiritual roots as well.
A few days later, Feng Hongyuan stabilized his realm and emerged from his retreat. The Feng family threw a banquet to celebrate, though it was an internal affair, not open to outsiders. During this time, Feng Yuan took the opportunity to elevate the old man's spiritual roots to Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
...
In Myriad Demons city , Feng Yuan lay in bed, dressed in a thin white robe.Little han gently massaged him, her touch delicate and skilled.
"Young Lord, someone outside is looking for Little han . Her name is Li Qingqing."
Little han's hands froze momentarily, but she quickly resumed massaging Feng Yuan.
"Go and see her. It's fine," Feng Yuan said calmly.
Little han hesitated, feeling conflicted, but after a brief pause, she stood up. "Thank you, Young Lord."
Feng Yuan waved her away, and Little han left the courtyard.
At the entrance of the Feng family estate, a young woman in her early twenties paced anxiously. Her face was full of worry.
Soon, Little han appeared.
Seeing her, Li Qingqing rushed forward as if she had found her savior. "Sister, please help me! My family is in trouble!"
