After Wang Tianqiong and Yu Nong left, another person stepped out from the room inside.

The person had a feminine and sinister air, and kneeled in front of Protector Feng: "Father."

Feng Hu pulled the person up, showing a loving expression: "Renfeng, these years, you've suffered much."

The sinister-looking person was none other than Wang Renfeng.

At this moment, Wang Renfeng's aura appeared even colder than before, just standing there brought an inexplicable sense of pressure.

Wang Renfeng stood up, licked his lips, glanced at the woman behind Feng Hu, and promptly responded: "Father, for King Qin's grand plan, this little suffering is nothing. It's just that old fellow Wang Xiao was fortunate enough not to die, saved by Ye Guichen. I can't help but feel discontented."

Feng Hu narrowed his eyes, smiled coldly: "No need to rush. I sent you to Jinling Royal Mansion for today's situation. Hehe, rest assured, now Wang Xiong is dead, you've absorbed the vital energy from his body using the Refining God Technique, and you've half-stepped into the Innate Realm. Later, once you absorb the vital energy from Wang Xiao's body, you'll become a true master of the Innate Realm. By then, the three provinces of Jiangnan will be under your control, and I can leave with peace of mind."

Wang Renfeng's eyes burned intensely, "I won't disappoint you, Father. I will assist you and King Qin in managing Azure Dragon Commerce, controlling Jiangnan's three provinces, and striving wholeheartedly for King Qin."

Feng Hu gently nodded, pondered: "Wang Xiong could never have fathomed we were in alliance. It took great resolve on my part to send you here years ago. Now, after all these years, you haven't let me down. Not only are you adept at maneuvering within Jinling Royal Mansion, but even those old wily crows Wang Xiong and Wang Xiao haven't suspected you."

"On the surface, I had Wang Xiong searching for Crystal Stones. He never knew my true intent." At this point, Feng Hu's tone grew somber: "Renfeng, you know that Crystal Stones are merely a facade to fool others. Once you control the three provinces of Jiangnan, earning money to strengthen King Qin is just one aspect. The crucial point is to find the Book of Life and Death. Only by finding this book can we turn the tides and aid King Qin in becoming the true Netherworld Emperor, do you understand?"

Wang Renfeng promised: "Father, rest assured."

Seemingly thinking of something, Wang Renfeng looked in the direction Wang Tianqiong and Yu Nong had left, with a worried expression: "Father, with Wang Xiong dead, Wang Tianqiong is not a threat. But I'm worried whether Brother Yu can contend with that Ye. That kid probably has reached the Innate Realm. If he indeed confronts Brother Yu, casualties are inevitable."

Feng Hu scoffed: "Renfeng, you've been here too long, unfamiliar with Yu Nong's cultivation. He has long since entered the Innate Realm. Hmph! Even though Ye Guichen may be formidable, he's merely stumbled into the Innate Realm accidentally. How could he be Yu Nong's adversary? Moreover, in this vast Hua Country, true masters of the Innate Realm are rare. If not for fear of being noticed by the other Kings, would I be this constrained?"

"And remember, Wang Ying is still in your hands? This is a crucial piece, unless absolutely necessary, don't kill her."

"I understand." A sinister glint flashed in Wang Renfeng's eyes: "After performing the Refining God Technique on Wang Xiong, I was thorough. Except for Wang Ying, all other women were dealt with. Moreover, I sent Ye Guichen a great gift. If Wang Ruolan succeeds, Ye Guichen will be nothing to fear."

Feng Hu didn't ask more, seemingly uninterested in the great gift Wang Renfeng mentioned. Feeling a bit tired, he waved his hand: "Renfeng, go and make arrangements. Once Yu Nong secures Azure Dragon Commerce, Wang Xiao is ready for harvesting. Once Azure Dragon Commerce and Jinling Royal Mansion are in hand, Jinling's underground world will belong to your Yama Hall. Then, I will personally officiate your wedding with Liu Li."

As he said this, Feng Hu patted the young woman beside him.

The young woman blushed shyly, kept her head down, and remained silent.

Wang Renfeng was overjoyed, flattering the young woman: "Junior Sister Liu, it seems King Qin indeed has treasures. Although you're only seven or eight years younger than me, I am middle-aged now, while you still look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl."

"Senior Brother, you're too kind. Protector Feng mentioned that for King Qin's great enterprise, you've sacrificed much. To marry you is my fortune. Before I came, King Qin assured me that once he becomes Netherworld Emperor, you will have high merits and titles, and elevating your status will be natural. At that time, don't desert me." Liu Li gave a charming smile, exuding elegance.

Wang Renfeng, in high spirits, quickly denied: "Junior Sister Liu, it's my duty to serve King Qin loyally."

Sensing a flaw in his words, Wang Renfeng quickly corrected: "No, I am Feng Renfeng. Hmph, after absorbing Wang Xiao's vital energy, I'll change my name back. Finally, I can vent the decade-long anger."

"Alright, you may go now." Feng Hu waved his hand, signaling Wang Renfeng to leave.

Wang Renfeng respectfully saluted, took a deep look at Liu Li, and finally turned to leave.

Soon, the room had only Feng Hu and Liu Li left.

A brief silence ensued, neither spoke.

Several minutes later, Liu Li slowly circled from behind the sofa to the front, sitting on Feng Hu's lap: "Protector Feng, can Wang Renfeng be trusted?"

Her gaze lost the earlier charm, replaced with endless wisdom and depth, like an old fox.

Feng Hu held Liu Li, arms around her waist, speaking softly: "Over a decade ago, we killed Wang Renfeng of the Wang Family, disguised your senior brother to look like Wang Renfeng, letting him lay low and aiding him in becoming the King of Yama Hall. Due to having Wang Renfeng's identity, no one knows the true form of King Yan."

"After so many years, even though he's my son, trust is a fragile thing. Especially remembering the initial promise, once Jiangnan's three provinces are under our control, I have to marry you to him, I feel uneasy."

Liu Li snorted, face full of allure: "Your sweet words. But he's your son. What, will I end up serving both father and son? Hmph, if King Qin finds out, what will he think of me?"

Feng Hu was troubled, "Xiao Li, let's discuss this later. Once we truly control Jiangnan's three provinces, we'll handle it. Worst case, I'll clarify with Renfeng. I don't believe he dares to compete with me for you!"

As he spoke, his face was already up close.

Liu Li scolded: "Hey, your breath stinks, you haven't bathed yet."

"What bath? Really. King Qin's orders are to return within three days. If we don't get close now, it'll be hard to see you once we're back." Feng Hu embraced Liu Li, carrying her straight into the bedroom.

"You rascal, stealing your son's woman, shameless!" Amid playful banter, the bedroom was filled with spring warmth.

A mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Wang Renfeng naturally didn't know his fiancée was involved with the father who had schemed all his life.

He was spirited.

A decade of being submerged, finally the day to rise.
