Lin Feng felt Xu Lin's favorability towards him starting to rise, knowing that the woman was no longer angry with him.
"Then let's go back, we can talk more at home."
Lin Feng put his arm around Xu Lin's slender waist and used his Flying Pig speed to quickly return to their courtyard in the capital.
"My dear Miss Xu, I know I upset you today, so tonight I plan to let you punish me thoroughly."
Lin Feng led Xu Lin to a prepared room.
"Am I punishing you, or are you going to punish me?"
Having just cried, Xu Lin's eyes were still red, making her look particularly delicate and charming.
"It's the same. I'll go take a shower first, and you can calm down by yourself."
As Lin Feng spoke, he headed towards the bathroom.
Meanwhile.
The Dong family villa district.
Dong Yingxue chatted with her recovered mother for a long time. By the time they finished, it was already late at night.
"Sis, how is that person who sold you the talisman so powerful? I was originally thinking of calling my good brother over to diagnose our mother, but now it's not needed."
Dong Yichen was also very happy seeing his mother fully recovered.
"What took you so long to mention that you knew someone who could treat Mom?"
Dong Yingxue shot Dong Yichen a glare, feeling a mix of love and exasperation towards her younger brother.
"I was worried about my good buddy's character. He likes beautiful women, and I was afraid he'd take a liking to you, sis, if he came over."
"That's why I never dared to mention him."
Dong Yichen was well aware of Lin Feng's weakness for beautiful women.
Given his sister Dong Yingxue's stunning beauty, if Lin Feng were to set his sights on her, it would be like inviting a wolf into the house, betraying his own sister.
It was possible Lin Feng might even become his brother-in-law.
Even though Lin Feng was formidable and had a bright future, he had far too many women. Dong Yichen absolutely did not want his sister to become just another one of Lin Feng's concubines.
"If you say so, then your good buddy isn't a good person either. It's right that you didn't call him to treat Mom."
"However, the master who sold me the talisman, I must thank him personally."
Dong Yingxue had made up her mind. Saving her mother's life was paramount. She was determined to build a good relationship with that master.
If her parents fell gravely ill again in the future, she wouldn't have to worry.
"Sis, don't be so eager to thank him. Tell me first, what happened between you and him?"
Dong Yichen vaguely felt there was something fishy about this.
Logically, a master of talismans would disdain to help others.
Why was he so generous towards her sister?
There must be some hidden stakes that he was unaware of!
Dong Yingxue didn't hide anything and recounted the entire sequence of events to Dong Yichen.
"Sis, are you crazy? You actually gave that guy the heirloom your grandpa gave you?"
When Dong Yichen learned that Dong Yingxue had traded the talisman for an heirloom, he was so angry he wanted to spit blood.
"What's wrong with an heirloom? Is it more important than Mom's health?"
Dong Yingxue retorted unhappily.
"Well, no, but the heirloom... sigh..."
Dong Yichen didn't know how to explain it to Dong Yingxue.
He knew that the heirloom was made from a fragment of the Mending Heaven Stone.
The Mending Heaven Stone was left behind by Nuwa when she mended the heavens. It was indestructible and contained the great principles of heaven and earth, making it an excellent material for crafting divine artifacts.
Even if this piece of Mending Heaven Stone was just a fragment, it was still a priceless treasure!
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. The heirloom was given to me by Grandpa, and I can do whatever I want with it."
Dong Yingxue said coldly, ignoring Dong Yichen, and returned to her room to rest.
At that moment, Lin Feng, having finished his shower, began to examine the Mending Heaven Stone fragment he had obtained from Dong Yingxue.
He sat in the courtyard and took out the plaque Dong Yingxue had given him.
He held the plaque in his palm and continuously injected his True Qi into it.
However, after injecting his True Qi, the plaque showed no reaction at all.
"Damn it! Did Dong Yingxue trick me with a piece of junk?"
Lin Feng suddenly had a bad feeling. He had overlooked something.
He had believed whatever Dong Yingxue said without any suspicion.
Dong Yingxue claimed it was an heirloom, a Mending Heaven Stone, and he took her word for it.
He hadn't realized at all that there might be some deception involved!
"Lin Feng, what are you doing standing out here?"
Seeing Lin Feng lingering outside, Xu Lin walked out wearing a pink nightgown.
Under the bright moonlight, Xu Lin's ink-black long hair cascaded down her back. Her fair legs, like they were dusted with starlight, were dazzlingly white.
What made Lin Feng's blood surge even more was that Xu Lin's nightgown was a slip dress, revealing the alluring cleavage of her chest.
Combined with Xu Lin's soul-stirring, captivating face, she was undoubtedly the most alluring beauty of the night.
"It's nothing, I'm just examining a small item."
"I think I might have been tricked."
Lin Feng gave a dry laugh and showed the dark plaque to Xu Lin.
"You get tricked? Don't you always trick others?"
Xu Lin chuckled, sat down beside Lin Feng, and curiously gazed at the plaque.
"Lin Feng, have you noticed? This plaque seems to absorb moonlight."
After a moment, Xu Lin suddenly said.
"Absorbs moonlight? What do you mean?"
Lin Feng was puzzled.
"Look, although the outside of this plaque is dark, the center part is glowing."
"It's like a glow-in-the-dark stone. After absorbing light, it can emit it."
Xu Lin pointed to the faint light emanating from the center of the plaque.
Hearing Xu Lin's words, Lin Feng finally realized that the plaque did seem to be absorbing light.
He quickly took out a dagger from his storage bag and began scraping off the black coating from the plaque's surface.
As the black coating fell off, a faint green light was emitted from within, like a glowing jade tablet.
Most astonishingly, as the plaque continued to absorb moonlight, its glow changed from faint green to red, and finally to a deep crimson hue.
"What kind of stone is this? It's so beautiful."
Xu Lin exclaimed in wonder.
Lin Feng placed the plaque on the ground and tried to stab it with the dagger.
With a crisp "crack!", the dagger broke instantly, leaving the plaque completely unharmed.
"I get it now. Dong Yingxue didn't lie to me. This plaque might really be made from Mending Heaven Stone, we just don't know its secrets."
Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, his mood instantly improving.
"Mending Heaven Stone? Is it the stone Nuwa used to mend the heavens?"
Xu Lin mused.
"Yes, it's the stone Nuwa used to mend the heavens, so this stone must hold astonishing secrets."
"Is it possible that this stone needs to absorb a large amount of sun and moon essence to transform into something extraordinary?"
Although Xu Lin didn't know much, she had a good imagination.
"That's possible. Let's not worry about it for now. Let it absorb moonlight on its own. We have some real business to attend to."
Lin Feng placed the stone on the ground, got up, and grabbed Xu Lin's hand, intending to lead her inside.
"What real business?"
Xu Lin was quite enjoying sitting in the courtyard with Lin Feng, watching the stars.
"Real business, of course, is that. Come on, my beauty."
Lin Feng chuckled and directly picked Xu Lin up from the ground.
As his hands touched Xu Lin's delicate body, enveloped in her silken nightgown, the smooth sensation intensified Lin Feng's desire.
