In this world, Jian Yi always had a certain advantage. This advantage can be considered a type of foresight. He read the original novel, knew the underlying plots and knew much information unknown to others.
From a certain perspective, he was a person who had a grasp of the Will of Heaven. That round jade magic tool was able to advance his understanding of the Will of Heaven to a higher level as well. This way when he encountered situations that didn’t occur in the original novel, he could still quickly decipher its development through paying a certain price.
But his foresight was limited. His understanding of the original novel still didn’t give him control over everything in this world. As for the ability to quickly decipher how a situation would develop, while this skill was rather unparalleled, it can’t be used constantly, at all times.
Therefore, at this moment in time, in face of the situation before him, all of Jian Yi’s foresight was useless.
He was like a completely naked person on top of an icy mountain, shaking all over, utterly helpless to the head-on offense of a blizzard. Practically forgetting how to think, he could only watch wide-eyed as this beautiful looking woman in front of him took Wen Xuan’s hand and said with a flower-like smile: “I need you to marry me as your wife.”
This wasn’t right. This script wasn’t right. How did it become like this? Jian Yi almost felt like he was crazy.
After a long time, finally, like a rusty piece of machinery, he turned his head jerkingly over to look at Wen Xuan.
Wen Xuan just glanced at him a second ago. By this time, he already withdrew his gaze.
What was worth celebrating was that Wen Xuan had his brows furrowed, clearly not giving a happy response to these unexpected words.
Brows furrowed, Wen Xuan looked at Murong Feng. After a moment, he pressed his mouth together, looking like he wanted to decline.
“Cultivator Wen.” Just at this time, Murong Feng said: “If you marry me as your wife, it will give you huge benefits.”
This was pretty true. This was really a wonderful opportunity that many men couldn’t even dream of.
Even if they didn’t discuss Murong Feng’s beauty and only focused on her identity and her wealth, the situation before them was equivalent to a huge cookie falling out of the sky.
Wen Xuan only furrowed his brows deeper: “Murong-xianzi, there’s no need to make this kind of joke.”
Murong Feng looked at his face and carefully examined his facial features, then sighed lightly: “An old fashioned type huh?”
She finished speaking, then lightly clapped her hands.
Maids swarmed into the room like fish, each carrying a round plate covered by a red cloth. In a flash, they lined up inside the room. Then, with another light clap of Murong Feng’s hands, one of the maids took off the red cloth in her hand and revealed the item on the plate.
Even before seeing this item, Wen Xuan already felt a very heavy spiritual energy. Carefully taking a look, his expression instantly changed.
On the plate were two Lanti flowers, one of the items he needed for yuan gathering. This was something he thought he’d obtain after experiencing many hardships.
The sound of Murong Feng clapping didn’t stop. With every one of her claps, another red cloth was uncovered.
Every round plate had a spiritual item on it, all were items that Wen Xuan needed for yuan gathering.
Things that he’s only seen in his dreams were now placed before him just like this. Wen Xuan’s gaze swept across these round plates in amazement, unable to respond for a while. He was a bit stupefied.
“It’s no joke.” Murong Feng said: “As long as you agree to marry me, everything in the room is yours.”

27 items, not one was missing.
Although the amount of each item and what Wen Xuan needed had some slight differences, it still wasn’t lacking at all.
Looking at these, Wen Xuan immediately felt sweat gathering.
Then Wen Xuan reluctantly forced himself to shift his gaze away from these yuan gathering items to look left and right.
At this time, Jian Yi had already recovered. Looking similarly at these items that filled the entire room, he clenched his jaw tightly as his face color turned green and then white.
Then Wen Xuan looked at that old friend to his other side and finally realized something.
He placed his hand into his sleeves and squeezed the piece of paper inside, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This piece of paper was a list of all of the yuan gathering items he needed. He once showed it to his old friend. Looks like this list was placed in front of Murong Feng’s eyes by this friend, easily exposing what Wen Xuan needed and allowing the other to grab his weakness.
This move was rather effective. If Murong Feng had requested anything else, Wen Xuan probably would have agreed impatiently already.
“Murong-xianzi……” Wen Xuan said with difficulty.
“This is only a trivial matter.” Murong Feng said: “If you become my husband, don’t even say merely returning to yuan gathering. Even on the path that follows, I will definitely use all my strength to help you.”
While saying these words, the high and mighty presence she emitted didn’t diminish at all. She looked at Wen Xuan, and has been looking at him arrogantly since the start. She actually had this right, to look at others from above. Although she was sitting at a corner of the room at the moment, with her surrounding presence curling around her, looking a little frail. In actuality, this was the presence of a golden core cultivator.
More than ten years ago, Murong Feng of the Thousand Sunshine Trade Company was already at a stage one step away from Nascent Soul.
“With your natural aptitude, reaching golden core would be a cinch. With your talent, my experience, and the Thousand Sunshine Trading Company’s wealth, this path can be extremely fast.” Murong Feng said: “If everything goes smoothly, perhaps we can even become Nascent Soul together.”
In other words, if Wen Xuan agreed to marry her, not only would he obtain these yuan gathering items, he would also gain the devoted guidance of a golden core cultivator. To be honest, although Wen Xuan was the disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator by reputation, in actuality, he had no one to guide him. He reached his current stage purely though fumbling around by himself this entire time.
No matter which aspect, to Wen Xuan, they were all an enormous temptation.
Yet Murong Feng was still raising the benefits: “Actually, you don’t even need to consider what I can give you. As long as you agree, half of the Thousand Sunshine Trading Company can be yours.”
Half of the Thousand Sunshine Trading Company wasn’t merely talking about the branch at North Ning Continent. That’s because this Murong Feng had another identity. She was the daughter of the owner of Thousand Sunshine Trading Company.
Marrying such a woman would allow anyone to bypass struggling for who knows how many hundreds of years. This was such a huge cookie falling from the sky that it was enough to make one feel dizzy.
Nevertheless, Wen Xuan managed to regain his composure. Actually just now, in comparison to his feelings of shock and temptation, he actually felt more like this didn’t seem real, like he was standing in clouds, floating away.
Wen Xuan took another look at Jian Yi.
The pale white color on Jian Yi’s face has already receded. He was currently staring at Wen Xuan with a rather nervous and pitiful expression.
“Murong-xianzi.” Wen Xuan replied: “I need to consider for a moment.”
Murong Feng nodded: “I await your decision.”
She waved her hand to the side. Someone came over to lead Wen Xuan away. They weren’t leading him outward, but rather to another room inside the building.
Wen Xuan entered the room, asked the person who led the way to withdraw, then sat heavily down on a chair. He reached out to touch his forehead and found it covered in sweat. Although Murong Feng had no ill intentions towards him, the situation just now was really more exhausting than fighting a fierce battle.
Jian Yi followed him into the room and helped him close the door.
Wen Xuan poured a cup of tea for himself to drink and found that both of his hands were shaking. Can’t be helped. The temptation was too strong. Really. The temptation was really too strong.
“Jian shidi.” Wen Xuan asked: “What do you think?”
Jian Yi walked to his side and looked at him silently for a while: “Shixiong, do you plan to agree?”
“Of course I……” Wen Xuan wanted to answer but then halted. Lifting the cup of tea, he took a sip. Then he persisted in throwing the question back: “I want to know what you think.”
Jian Yi grinded his teeth: “This matter might not be as good as it sounds.”
“What do you mean?”
“That woman has plenty of enemies.”
“She can protect me,” Wen Xuan said.
Jian Yi was stunned. He abruptly raised his head and stared at Wen Xuan in surprise, examining him over and over.
“I also thought about this issue just now.” Wen Xuan said: “She has plenty of enemies, but at the same time, she’s still alive. This proves that she has the ability to fight off her enemies. And she clearly needs me, so she’ll definitely protect me. In comparison to what I can obtain, this danger really isn’t much.”
It took Jian Yi a while to recover from his thoughts. This time, he was really panicking: “Shixiong, why would you say this? Don’t tell me you really plan to agree?”
“It’s not that.” Wen Xuan shook his head: “I’m only weighing the pros and cons.”
“Weighing the pros and cons……” Jian Yi repeated, grabbing the edge of the table with both hands. Because of nerves, he used such strength that his fingers turned white.
“You don’t want me to marry her?” Wen Xuan looked at his reaction, taking another sip of tea: “Why? Isn’t this beneficial to us?”
“This…… this matter is too strange.” With great difficulty, Jian Yi found another excuse: “This might be a trap.”
“You’re suggesting that, a golden core cultivator with a strong family background and extraordinary status making a request to a mere foundation building cultivator like me to marry her, is actually a trap?” Wen Xuan furrowed his brows slightly: “Saying it like this does sound a little strange. The entire thing is actually full of oddities. Perhaps it really is a trap.”
Jian Yi let out a breath of relief.
“Jian shidi.” Wen Xuan lifted his head again: “You know more than me. Tell me, is that Murong-xianzi really the type of person to set this kind of trap?”
Jian Yi opened his mouth, a definite ‘yes’ about to leave his mouth.
But in the end, he couldn’t say this word out loud. Instead, he started grinding his teeth again.
Actually he knew this wasn’t a trap. Murong Feng has been in a certain kind of suffering all these years, searching for relief. Yet this thing that gave her relief in the original novel, she obtained from Qin Shiyu’s companion, Xue BingEr. Because of this circumstance, she ended up joining Qin Shiyu’s harem. For Qin Shiyu to become all powerful later, his relationship to her was essential.
This woman gave Jian Yi a rather favorable impression in the original novel. It can be said that, of the numerous women in Qin Shiyu’s harem, Murong Feng was the only one he felt pretty good towards. He even pitied Murong Feng in the past, feeling that Qin Shiyu wasn’t good enough for her.
Jian Yi had extrapolated that in order to relieve Murong Feng from her suffering, Wen Xuan should also be able to do it as well. That’s why he insisted Wen Xuan come to Anfeng City around this time. He had hoped that Wen Xuan would be able to land this opportunity. However, he never imagined that when Murong Feng saw Wen Xuan, she would make that kind of decision.
Clearly in the original novel, Murong Feng and Xue BingEr only became sisters.
Jian Yi took a deep breath.
He wanted Wen Xuan to be fine, wanted Wen Xuan to achieve success in his cultivation, and wanted Wen Xuan to walk down a path completely different from the original text. Without a doubt, Murong Feng could become a huge assistance. This was a once in a blue moon opportunity. He didn’t want to ruin it, but there’s no way he’d want Wen Xuan to marry Murong Feng.
Struggling with this conflict, Jian Yi’s entire face turned red in frustration.
After a long time, Jian Yi answered: “No… with my understanding of her, she should be a reliable woman.”
“Is that right?” Wen Xuan placed the teacup on the table, making a clunking sound: “In other words, based on the benefits, there’s no reason for me to decline.”
Jian Yi didn’t make a sound.
Seeing him like this, Wen Xuan suddenly felt a bit irritated.
Honestly! Just what reason did he want to hear out of Jian Yi’s mouth?
Wen Xuan drained the last of his tea and stood up: “After considering for this long, it’s about time for me to give her an answer.”
“Shixiong!” Jian Yi hastily stopped him.
Wen Xuan halted his footstep and turned his head to look at Jian Yi.
To Jian Yi, this was the most difficult decision he’s made after he transmigrated. Jealousy and possessiveness grew and spread crazily in his heart. However, his desire for all to be well for Wen Xuan suppressed this kind of madness in the end.
“Shixiong,” Jian Yi said: “Have you really thought this through?”
“En. I’ve made my decision.” Wen Xuan nodded and then asked: “Do you think there’s anything wrong here?”
Jian Yi hesitated for a long time, then shook his head: “No.”
Wen Xuan instantly turned around and continued to walk towards Murong Feng’s room, footsteps much faster than before.
For some inexplicable reason, Wen Xuan felt a bit angry.
Thank You for the chapter (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
These two seriously.!!!
But to be honest I like this MF. It’s not like she knows he’s gay. I hope they become friends.
There’s a small part of me that kinda hopes he agrees.
