Chapter 496 Of course, she called him "husband".
"I'm willing, I have no regrets!" Feng Yao held Qu Wanwan's hand tightly, his eyes firm and composed.
“I know you don’t believe me now and think I just pity you, but that’s absolutely not the case. What I love is your heart and your soul.”
No matter how old or ugly you get, I will still love you as always!
I keep my word. If I break it, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!
Feng Yao responded firmly and decisively.
The heart of a young person is burning with passion and sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Qu Wanwan couldn't help but smile; she had made the right bet.
Before she could respond, a real old lady in her eighties suddenly appeared at the scene.
She stood up directly and retorted, "It's just a few nice words, anyone can say that. You say you won't change your mind? Who believes that? Unless you can prove it!"
"Wanwan, who is she?" Feng Yao looked at the person who had appeared out of nowhere with a wary expression.
Qu Wanwan explained, "She is my senior, a retired holy maiden of the shrine. She was betrayed by her sweetheart when she was young, so she hates unfaithful men the most and doesn't believe what men say."
Feng Yao felt he was being implicated, so he quickly explained, "Senior, I'm not that kind of person."
"Alright, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself." The retired saintess took out a black and red Gu from her person, which looked extremely eerie, and said slowly.
"If you consume this Gu, you will turn into a decrepit old man in his seventies or eighties. After the Gu absorbs your essence, it will transfer it to the new Holy Maiden, who will then become a young and beautiful girl."
You say you're truly in love with her, then trade your youth and health for hers. Do you dare?
"Of course I dare!" Feng Yao agreed without hesitation.
Qu Wanwan panicked; this was not what had been agreed upon before, and there was no such thing as it had happened.
She hurriedly stopped Feng Yao, "Don't eat it, I don't want to switch with you."
Feng Yao explained, "Girls all love beauty. You must be feeling terrible looking like this. I don't care about my appearance. It doesn't matter if I'm a little older or uglier, as long as you don't mind."
After saying that, Feng Yao took the black and red Gu worm from the retired saintess and swallowed it without saying a word.
"No!" Qu Wanwan shouted.
They wanted to stop them, but it was too late.
After Feng Yao ate it, he smiled and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. I'll be happy as long as you can get back to how you were before."
"Silly girl, aren't you afraid I'll change my mind and go find another man?" Qu Wanwan said irritably.
Feng Yao had never really thought about this question.
He has already decided on Qu Wanwan, and he will love her no matter what she becomes.
But after he became ugly, if Qu Wanwan changed her mind, he seemed to have no way to deal with her.
But deep down, he knew that Qu Wanwan was just like him; once she made up her mind, she would never change it.
The retired saintess felt a mix of emotions upon seeing Feng Yao eat the Gu worm without hesitation.
Qu Wanwan quickly demanded the antidote, "Hand over the antidote worm right now, I don't want him to age!"
"There is no way to undo the curse."
"What did you say?"
"Ahem! He won't grow old either. This is just another test from the High Priest, Holy Maiden, no, I should call you Princess Wanwan."
"Congratulations, you've found your Mr. Right. You may leave with him. The priest will choose someone more suitable for the position of Saintess."
The retired saint revealed the truth, her eyes filled with sincere blessings and envy.
If she had found a good man like Feng Yao instead of a cowardly, fickle scoundrel, she wouldn't have suffered a lifetime of pain because of love turning to hate.
But then she thought, the scumbag's grave is already overgrown with weeds, she's already taken her revenge, and she felt a little better.
Feng Yao then realized that all of this was just a test.
He won't get old, and Wanwan will be fine too.
He was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
"Didn't the priest say before that we couldn't be together? Why did you suddenly agree?" Feng Yao couldn't help but ask.
"This matter is related to Qin Yeting. Wuguo has a large oil field, but it lacks the technology to extract it. Qin Group has the technology, but if Qin Group invests, it usually demands 45% of the profits, which is too high for Wuguo."
For your sake, Qin Yeting lowered the profit-sharing ratio to 30%, a standard acceptable to both parties.
But the priest wasn't reassured, fearing I'd been deceived, so he set up another test for me.
Wanwan explained in a clear voice.
She knew that the priest had gone to such lengths not only for her happiness, but also to see just how important she was to Feng Yao.
After all, the Feng family was also involved in oil extraction and had considerable experience in this area.
Although offshore and onshore oil extraction methods differ, one can still learn something from this experience in the future oil trading business.
The Wu Kingdom no longer wants to remain isolated and wants to engage with the outside world. Her princess, who has traveled abroad and has connections with both Country A and China, is a good candidate for diplomacy.
And her relationship with Feng Yao will no longer be as pure as it used to be.
But compared to the Holy Maiden and Feng Yao being separated forever, this is already the best ending.
Feng Yao and Qu Wanwan left hand in hand. Not long after, Qu Wanwan's appearance returned to normal.
When they arrived at the airport in the suburbs, Xia Yue saw the young couple appear together and exchanged a glance with Qin Yeting.
"You're so resourceful! My husband is amazing!" Xia Yue couldn't help but praise him.
