Chapter 148 Wanyan Ping's Eyes

The original novel does not mention what happened to Canhezhuang after Murong Fu changed his profession.

It never appeared again in the stories of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Divine Condor Heroes more than a hundred years later.

Murong Fu was very curious whether the Canhe Manor still existed and who lived there.

The heroes' gathering was still a few days away, so everyone was brought along.

A century of misalignment, yet Taihu Lake seems as if it were still yesterday.

Bao'er and Xiao Hai were puzzled. Wasn't this their home?

Lu Wushuang and Wanyan Ping found a rare moment of tranquility.

One woman is barely surviving at the hands of her enemy, while the other is single-mindedly seeking revenge due to a family tragedy.

Unexpectedly, I met Murong Fu, and being by his side gave me a strange sense of security.

More than an hour later, they finally arrived at the island where Canhe Village was located. Upon reaching the familiar dock, Murong Fu observed that the layout here was indeed very different from his own home in the Tianlong World, but it was not abandoned, indicating that people still lived there.

As soon as Murong Fu and his party landed on the dock, an old man and a servant came from a distance and asked them the purpose of their visit.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that the owner of this place was surnamed Liu and had considerable influence in Jiangnan.

Upon learning that it was no longer the Murong family, Murong Fu didn't say anything and discussed the matter of buying the island with the old man.

Everyone initially thought he was visiting relatives and friends, but unexpectedly, he wanted to buy the island as his private property.

The old man claimed to be the current steward. At first, he thought Murong Fu was joking, but the other party repeatedly insisted that he was serious. The steward could only clasp his hands and say that he could not make the decision himself and needed to communicate with the master, which would take two days.

Murong Fu readily agreed, and under the guidance of the old steward, the group moved into a small villa.

Although it's called a courtyard, everyone has their own room.

Hong Qigong didn't care where it was; he just wanted to see how much food Murong Fu could bring out.

But along the way, he noticed that Murong Fu would take out food when there was none, but when there was something special, he would order several portions and then wave them away.

As a gourmand, he was extremely envious of this and very angry that Murong Fu said he couldn't learn this skill.

If you add up the time he's been here, it's been about a month, and Lu Wushuang's leg injury has actually healed to about 70-80%.

Murong Fu came to a conclusion from this period: not only can a single man or woman not be targeted with acupressure, but they can also not be used for healing, as it is easy for them to fall into each other's traps.

For the next month, Murong Fu poured the profound Yin energy contained in his Mingyu Gong into Lu Wushuang's body every day.

Murong Fu sensed that she was no longer satisfied with just internal energy.

Lu Wushuang's gaze towards Murong Fu was completely unsettling, and Murong Fu had evidence to suspect that the unsettling feeling extended beyond just his gaze.

It was only because Bao'er and Xiao Hai were there that the other side restrained themselves, and Murong Fu also restrained himself.

After all, killing a child in front of them can be considered positive education, but it's somewhat awkward for the child's father to date in front of the child.

Two days passed quickly, and the old steward brought a middle-aged man, who said he was the family's steward.

Originally, the Liu family had no intention of selling this property, but the old steward said that the young master was no ordinary person, as if he were a celestial being descended to earth.

So the pillar of the family, a steward who had served three generations, went back with the old steward to discuss matters concerning "Bamboo Wind Manor".

"Zhufeng Manor" is the name of this manor now. I don't know when it was built, but it is now covered with bamboo forests, lush and verdant, layer upon layer.

The other party offered a very high price, but Murong Fu directly stated that he could pay in cash.

Because the money was used up, the house and land deeds were soon transferred back to the Murong family.

Murong Fu did not change the name of the mansion; it was still called Zhufeng Manor because the name Canhe was related to the Battle of Canhe Slope in history.

The Battle of Canhebei was an important battle between the Later Yan and the Northern Wei during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. The Murong family, as descendants of the Later Yan, used this historical event when naming their manor to remind future generations not to forget the national humiliation and to inspire the will to restore the country.

But Murong Fu didn't have that many thoughts. He hadn't changed it before because he found it troublesome and was used to calling it that.

There was no need to rename this place "Canhe" or change the architecture and furnishings of the house. Murong Fu thought it was fine as it was.

After the Liu family moved their belongings away and dismissed all the servants, he had the old steward left by the Liu family rebuild a staff of servants, cooks, and so on.

It can be considered that he now owns property in this world of myth and dragons.

They also wanted to find a beekeeper, because since they were using this place as the Divine Eagle's home, they released all the jade bees.

Yang Guo was very excited to see the jade bee and shouted in the courtyard:

"Auntie, Auntie, is that you?"

Murong Fu pointed to the beehives beside the garden and said, "No, I saw these things when I visited your ancient tomb last time, so I brought all the jade bees over."

Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became very agitated:

"That's stealing! Taking something without permission is stealing!"

Murong Fu waved his hand: "Consider it tomb raiding. By the way, you know how to take care of the jade bees and collect honey, right?"

The beekeeper hasn't been here for a while, so you'll have to look after these beehives.

Yang Guo knew that he was indebted to others for his kindness during this period, so he didn't say anything. Seeing the jade bees always reminded him of the days he spent with Xiaolongnu in the Ancient Tomb, which could be considered a way of remembering her.

That evening, after giving Lu Wushuang the infusion, Wanyan Ping came to the door again. Murong Fu habitually asked her to take off her outer clothes so he could treat her collarbone and ribs.

But Wanyan Ping did not get into bed; instead, she sat on a stool and said:

"Young Master Murong, I've been thinking about what you said to me before, over and over again these past few days..."

I think you're right. Our Wanyan family was actually destroyed by the Mongols. Yelü Chucai wasn't my real enemy; my real enemy was the Mongols.

I've been hearing lately that some kind of "Heroes' Gathering" is going to be held here, apparently to fight against the Mongols?

"Young Master Murong, you've come here for the Heroes' Gathering, haven't you?"

Murong Fu nodded and said, "You are indeed clever. I did come for the Heroes' Gathering."

Wanyan Ping then said, "Young Master Murong, you must have had a hard time taking care of the two children all these years..."

Murong Fu didn't actually feel tired. After the child was born, the maids and the child's mother took care of him most of the time. It was only recently, when he was taking the child out, that he felt a little tired.

But everyone said he had worked hard, so Murong Fu naturally nodded in agreement.

"Yes, there are some."

Wanyan Ping then said, "Then...Young Master Murong, I'm willing to take care of Xiaohai and Bao'er with you from now on..."

"I am also willing to fight the Tartars alongside you."

Murong Fu stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "My silly girl, you and the Tartars are like elder brothers, don't laugh at your younger brother..."

But the focus was definitely on what had just been said, so Murong Fu turned back to look at Xiao Hai and Bao'er, who were already fast asleep, and said to Wanyan Ping, "Let's talk in detail next door."

After a while, Murong Fu kissed Wanyan Ping's eyes repeatedly, then looked her over again and said, "She doesn't seem like it."

Murong Fu knew that in the original work, Yang Guo thought Wanyan Ping's eyes looked like Xiaolongnu's many times, but this time, after observing and comparing them up close, he came to the conclusion that they were completely different.

However, Murong Fu's comparison samples were Wang Yuyan and Li Qinglu, who looked 80-90% similar to Xiaolongnu.

To verify this conclusion, Murong Fu decided that he would still need to compare it with Xiaolongnu herself in the future.

Wanyan Ping was in some pain, but as a martial arts practitioner, a little pain in her skin was nothing. She was more shy around Murong Fu.

Suddenly hearing Murong Fu say something that didn't sound like it, he asked curiously, "Young Master Murong, what did you say?"

"Still calling me 'Young Master'?"

"Then... what's it called?"

"Call me brother."

"Why...""

Ultimately, tonight Wanyan Ping received an infusion of true qi from the outside in and a nourishment of true essence that spread from the inside out.

After tidying up, Murong Fu returned to his room and checked the system rewards.

[Wanyan Ping has fallen completely in love with the host, and is rewarded with a silver treasure chest.]

[Congratulations, host, you have reached the number of 10 spouses, and have unlocked the "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation" feature.]

[Wanyan Ping is very satisfied with her host and rewards her with two decades' worth of internal energy.]

Murong Fu suddenly realized that his spouse had also reached the age of 20. In his previous life, he had never had contact with so many women, not even counting the kindergarten children he held hands with.

But he never expected that he would now have ten wives.

After looking at the so-called "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation" function, it turns out that it is actually an increase in rewards for his hard work, and it is bidirectional.

It can also be seen as an enhanced version of "Harmony of Yin and Yang," where both sides can benefit from the process, except that Murong Fu benefits a little more.

Moreover, the benefits seem to extend beyond just skill level. The system suggests there might be other advantages as well, which we'll have to explore later.

Upon seeing the "silver treasure chest" again, Murong Fu suddenly felt that he seemed to have a connection with "silver".

He discovered that almost all the female supporting characters and the female protagonists in the original work were rewarded with silver treasure chests for falling in love, but the contents of these chests varied greatly and also had a certain element of luck involved.

Characters like Youcao and Xiaoming, who would be considered beauties in real life but are only briefly mentioned in the book, will receive less rewarding rewards.

Both of them were wooden treasure chests.

Without thinking too much, Murong Fu chose to open the treasure chest.

[Host chooses to open the silver treasure chest]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained "1 cubic meter of personal space"]

Murong Fu looked at the rewards and knew that he could not get something new every time he drew a prize, but it was good to have a life skill like a portable space.

Good martial arts like Mingyu Gong and Xiantian Poti Wuxing Jianqi are probably rare.

While items like the Frozen Pool Ice Python and the Frozen Pool Spirit Spring may not be very useful at the moment, they seem to have quite a bit of potential.

There are also good things like Laba porridge and wisdom fruit to enhance Murong Fu's skills or comprehension.

Murong Fu nodded. The reward was standard, yet very practical.

At least now he can move the jade bed from the ancient tomb over.

Several more days have passed in a flash, and the much-anticipated Heroes' Gathering is finally about to begin.
