"Young Master Feng, this evil demon is in this bay. Please use your supernatural powers to get rid of this scourge."
"That's how it should be."
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen nodded, waved his hand to send the young man to the shore, and then dispersed the mist, letting his body fall into the bay.
A silvery-white dragon soul emerged from its own body, coiled around the child's body, and transformed into a slender dragon. Before it even entered the water, waves surged up, as if subjects were welcoming their monarch's return.
There wasn't even a sound of water. After Feng Bingwen entered the water, the lake remained completely still, without even the slightest ripple, greatly disappointing the young man who wanted to see what it was like.
However, the young man was not anxious. The evil demon under the mountain and water had an extraordinary origin, and the battle between the two must be extraordinary. He would naturally be able to broaden his horizons and see it when the time came.
However, reality often differs from expectations. The young man did not wait long before he heard a long, resounding dragon roar from underwater, like thunder, making his ears ring incessantly.
When he recovered, he saw the water in front of him part to reveal a child dressed in simple clothes, and behind him dragged a terrifying crocodile that was nearly two zhang long.
This crocodile had thick scales and bony protrusions along its back, making it look extremely ferocious. However, this ferocious creature's head had been forcibly smashed to pieces by some terrifying being with monstrous strength. Although its body was still twitching slightly, it was clearly no longer alive.
"That's way too fast!"
Staring at the remains of the demon beast dragged in front of him, the young man was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it for a moment. As far as he knew, this demon beast was a true descendant of the dragon, a son of the Water Dragon Lord. Although its status was lowly, it was not difficult for it to fight against ordinary Mingxuan Realm cultivators with the power of its bloodline.
"It's just a mongrel. Do you really think I'd fight it for three hundred rounds?"
Seeing the young man's expression, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but smile. He was in a good mood at the moment. Although the harvest was less than expected, the ease of obtaining it was still quite good.
Slaying the evil spirits, a meritorious deed, is worth 1200.
The merit points gained were much less than expected, because in Feng Bingwen's judgment, this evil demon was not much weaker than the ferocious beast he had dreamed of before, but the merit points were more than half less.
However, it's not entirely incomprehensible. That ferocious beast emerged from the depths of the mountains and forests, its only instinct to kill any living creature it encountered; it never retreated, even when faced with ghosts or gods. If it were allowed into densely populated areas, it's hard to imagine the extent of the carnage it would commit.
But this evil demon is different. It occupies this bay and demands incense offerings from the villagers in the neighboring bays. If they are honest and law-abiding, observe the precepts and cultivate diligently, they may even receive an imperial decree after some time.
Unfortunately, it was too eager for quick success and demanded blood offerings from the water village, which led to disaster and turned into a calamity of killing.
However, one thing must be acknowledged: after taking the benefits, this guy did do some real work. The fishing village became prosperous because of him, but he took what he shouldn't have taken.
"Young Master Feng is incredibly powerful!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the young man reacted, lowered his head, adopted a respectful posture, and subtly flattered the man.
But Feng Bingwen finished his business and ignored him, putting his hands behind his back and riding the clouds home.
Facing the night breeze, Feng Bingwen, heading back to the small village of Fengjia, looked down at this world and felt extremely happy. He had found a stable way to earn a large amount of merit.
The only downside is that he has to collect the merit himself, which means he can't stay at home quietly and has to go out from time to time.
Name: Feng Bingwen
Good deeds: 4,980
Misdeeds: 2 (2)
"Such good deeds are enough; it's time to find something to keep the house safe and secure."
Looking at the nearly five thousand acts of kindness, Feng Bingwen pondered in his heart.
He had considered this long ago. He had his own life to experience, so it was impossible for him to stay with his family for a long time; he would always have to leave.
After he left, he couldn't help but worry about what would happen if his family were to be harassed by ghosts and monsters. A few minor demons and ghosts can't harm people, but what if they become powerful?
Feng Bingwen had such concerns, and now that he had found a suitable channel, it was almost foreseeable that he would leave his residence from time to time in the future.
Without his protection, how could these two old people find shelter on this night? Although the spirits in this county are dutiful and unlikely to encounter any calamity, one can never be too careful about the possibility of something going wrong.
Feng Bingwen is now considered to be a person favored by fortune, with abundant blessings. However, everything has its balance. While his good fortune is continuous, disasters are also inevitable. What if his family is implicated? He must prepare a way to avoid trouble as soon as possible to avoid regrets.
"Heavenly Book, I pray!"
Once the thought was uttered, Feng Bingwen had no more hesitation. The Heavenly Book appeared, its pages turned, and he left the page where he recorded his good deeds and evil deeds.
"A guardian spirit beast that protects your home!"
The simple and ordinary prayer had no requirements or restrictions, but a huge amount of merit points disappeared. Originally, the merit points were in the four digits, but in the blink of an eye, only two digits remained.
...
Amidst the beautiful mountains and rivers, a couple, seemingly blessed by nature, stroll hand in hand among the clouds, overlooking the vast landscape – a truly romantic and enviable sight.
"My husband, our child will be born soon. Have you decided on a name for the child?"
Amidst the clouds, a woman of exquisite beauty, like a celestial fairy, sweetly inquired of the handsome and dashing young man beside her.
"I hadn't thought about that. I was just thinking about how to secure a good birth for our child after he was born. Among the many masters in the sect, who is lacking a spirit pet or mount?"
"Why do you keep thinking about these things? Do you want my child to be born into a separation between mother and child?"
"What kind of talk is that?"
Upon hearing this, the young man was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
"Even if I were to place my child under the tutelage of a certain master in a sect, within the same mountain sect, wouldn't it be easy for us to meet again? How can we talk about separating mother and child?"
"That's too early. Let's raise the child for a while after he's born, and then find a way to raise him!"
“Yu’er, you are wrong. This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later. Although our origins are extraordinary, if we want to achieve the Great Dao, we still need to follow the right true cultivator. However, those true cultivators who have a promising path to immortality have no shortage of immortal birds and divine beasts to follow them.”
“My husband is right. I did not think things through. But have you thought carefully about who to choose? Do not choose someone who seems to have good fortune but is actually plagued by misfortune. Otherwise, I am afraid my child will not be able to survive if I follow such a person.”
