The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

"So confident?"

Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng smiled and took out a black pearl, placing it on the table, "Guess what this is?"

Yu Xing'er recognized the pearl immediately and said, "It's an Instant Explosion Pearl!"

This was a treasure from Xingluo Peak.

Only one was left, initially given to Elder Hua Qing, who was entrusted with its care.

Later, during a confrontation in the Mortal World's Longshan, Elder Hua Qing attempted to capture the wealth of the former Southwest Eight Kings from Qin Feng. Unable to defeat Qin Feng, he planned to use the Instant Explosion Pearl to achieve Mutual Destruction, allowing his subordinates to take down the former Southwest Eight Kings.

Qin Feng, recognizing the pearl's power, used it as a bargaining chip, agreeing to help Xingluo Peak against the Supreme Sect.

Thus, the Instant Explosion Pearl belonged to Qin Feng.

"Correct, it's an Instant Explosion Pearl." Qin Feng continued to Qingcheng, "You must have heard of the power of this pearl. Once it explodes, not to mention whether the entire Red Fire Palace would turn into ruins, nearly everyone from your Red Fire Palace won't be able to escape."

Qingcheng, evidently aware of the pearl, after her initial shock, also showed a hint of a smile, "You wouldn't really do this. I'm well aware of the ferocity of the Instant Explosion Pearl, but it's called 'Instant' because it explodes instantly upon activation. Therefore, the holder usually gets blown to bits as well, and it is generally used only when desiring Mutual Destruction. Are you intending for Mutual Destruction?"

"Heh."

Qin Feng smiled again, "Who said anything about Mutual Destruction, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I have the Human Emperor Step."

...

Qingcheng was taken aback by his response.

She recalled how during a fight with Huntian Wu, Qin Feng instantly appeared beside Huntian Wu from afar and killed him with a single strike. That was the Human Emperor Step!

While the Human Emperor Step might not completely evade the explosion of the Instant Explosion Pearl.

It could maximize the chances of escape.

Judging from the speed he displayed when he instantly appeared beside Huntian Wu, at the very least, his survival wouldn't be an issue.

Thinking this.

Qingcheng couldn't help but smile, "I still have the same question, you wouldn't dare because I can see, you're not someone who kills innocents indiscriminately. You could kill thirty thousand from the Supreme Sect, but facing the Red Fire Palace, who bears you no grudges, your nature would make it difficult to act merely for the benefits that being the foremost in Qinling brings."

"You're wrong, aiming to be first in Qinling isn't just about benefits." Qin Feng said.

"Oh? Then what is it for?" Qingcheng asked.

"It's for reaching higher realms; to me, this is merely a step, a necessary step. You understand what I mean, right?" Qin Feng stated.

...

Hearing this, Qingcheng was shocked.

She understood Qin Feng's intention; he meant he would proceed no matter what.

What surprised her was,

He was suggesting that being first in Qinling was just a stepping stone for him.

How many have died for the title of the foremost in Qinling?

And how many yearn for that unattainable position?

How ambitious is his heart?

Not just Qingcheng was surprised.

Yu Xing'er also widened her eyes upon hearing Qin Feng's words; his goals were far greater than she imagined!

After a while,

Qingcheng regained her composure.

Thinking about it,

He is, after all, a possessor of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline; how could he settle for mediocrity?

He must have aspirations to rival the heavens!

"But even if I were to concede, I fear it won't be sufficient." Qingcheng sipped her wine and said, "As I mentioned before, Old Lady Liang needs, not just a formidable person, but someone with the capability to dominate a region. Just your Heavenly King Palace alone isn't enough."

"I know."

Qin Feng smiled.

He was aware, relying solely on the remnants of the Bashed Mountain Sect, Moon Cutting Sect, and Xingluo Peak was too weak. Even if he were to annihilate the Red Fire Palace, it wouldn't change the fact that the Heavenly King Palace lacked sufficient awe-inspiring power.

To gain Old Lady Liang's approval, who selectively sought talented people, was still far from enough.

"So."

Qin Feng looked up at Qingcheng, speaking earnestly, "Therefore, we from the Heavenly King Palace solemnly invite you to join us!"

"What?!"

Qingcheng did not expect Qin Feng to suddenly utter such a statement.

Around them, Granny and the others dining were also very astonished.

The current situation in Qinling is that the Supreme Sect has been annihilated, leaving only the newly established Heavenly King Palace, and Red Fire Palace.

Although Red Fire Palace has sacrificed many people in the turmoil of Qinling over the past three years.

But they still have as many as eight thousand people.

The cultivation of these eight thousand people, except for the remaining members from Xingluo Peak, is significantly higher than the majority from Broken Mountain Sect and Moon Cutting Sect.

Thus.

Red Fire Palace is currently the strongest force in Qinling.

Why would the Heavenly King Palace have the audacity to invite Red Fire Palace to join them?

After a brief stupor, Qingcheng smiled and looked at Qin Feng intriguingly, saying, "Tell me, who gave you the courage to speak such inflated words? How could my mighty Red Fire Palace possibly become a subordinate under someone else's command?"

"Uh, it's not a bad thing."

"There's a saying, 'Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.' You might think that Red Fire Palace has no more enemies in Qinling now, that it is the number one without worries. But have you thought about the coming tumultuous times? In such times, no side can preserve itself with clear conscience; hence, being the 'head of a chicken' can't work."

"On another note." Qin Feng looked into her eyes and continued, "Are you really content to be confined to a small place like Qinling for a lifetime?"

"..."

Qingcheng's heart trembled.

Yu Xing'er and others were also astounded.

Qinling... a small place?

They had stayed in Qinling for many years, having grown up there from childhood. The mountain ranges of Qinling stretch unending, and there are still many peaks where no one has set foot.

Such a holy land.

Yet he described it as a "small place."

He...

What kind of world had he seen?

"The sky is very blue, the seas are vast, this world is very large, and this world isn't just us. Don't you really want to stand at the world's peak and admire this world?" Qin Feng added.

As he finished.

Qingcheng and others fell into silence.

Of course, they wanted!

Just like asking a child from the countryside if she wants to go to the bustling big cities to study, to live.

She would say yes.

Just like asking a CBA player if he wants to play in the world's highest-standard NBA.

He would say yes.

Just like asking a person earning only three thousand a month if he wants to travel to Yunnan, Sanya, Jiuzhaigou, and want to tour various beautiful countries.

He would say yes.

But.

For him, that is akin to the heavens.

They are things they could hardly reach in their lives, yet they yearn for them deep down.

Thus.

No one doesn't want to stand higher, no one doesn't want to reach further; it's merely a limitation of ability!

And why wouldn't Qingcheng want Red Fire Palace to reach the level of Heavenly King Mountain, Dragon King Hall?

She would!

"By the way, are you sure... you can?"

Qingcheng's eyes narrowed, fixedly staring at Qin Feng without blinking.

"Sure!"

Qin Feng asserted confidently.
