#159 - Chapter 159: Yu Niang’s Talent

After properly handling Wu Feng's matter, Cheng Feng secretly estimated that, based on the current circulation of blood energy within his body, he might need to apply Black Jade Regenerative Ointment one more time to fully recover.

If there had been sufficient medicinal soup support at the time, Xu Miao would have even been confident in advancing to the early stage of Lian Li in a month and a half. Because of this, Cheng Feng began to consider: if Yu Niang were provided with enough medicinal soup resources, would she be able to successfully break through to the early stage of Lian Li in the same short period of time—a month and a half?

Cheng Residence.

Cheng Feng and Yu Niang were indulging in passionate lovemaking in the main room. After a round of intense passion, Cheng Feng held the sweat-soaked Yu Niang and said with affection, "Yu Niang, Baibai once said that you possess extraordinary martial arts talent. I hope you can embark on the path of martial arts. But martial arts cultivation is exceptionally arduous, so I would like to ask for your opinion." Cheng Feng's gaze was fixed on Yu Niang's eyes, trying to find the answer in her expression.

All of this made Yu Niang, who had been drifting aimlessly, deeply realize the preciousness of the man before her.

Although being loved by a man is a wonderful thing, if one cannot bear this immense favor, it may cause many disputes in the backyard in the future.

Since the master has said it, he will definitely not harm me.

Now that such a rare opportunity is in front of her, she must not miss it easily!

Cheng Feng did not know what Yu Niang was thinking. Seeing her agree so readily, he couldn't help but feel delighted. He thought to himself: with Yu Niang's intelligence and talent, as long as she is willing to study and practice diligently, she will surely achieve something in a short time, right?

Although the process was exceptionally difficult and arduous, Yu Niang's beautiful eyes always sparkled with a firm and expectant light.

Therefore, they all began to work harder to practice the complex and powerful Beng Shan Fist technique.

Mei Niang, Cai'er, Cui'er, Xiao Hua, Chen Min, Xiao Qing, and Zheng Ya, these seven women were all Cheng Feng's women, and Cheng Feng was not stingy with them.

In addition, Xiao Fang, Mao Mao, and Xiao Ling, these three women, were carefully selected by Cheng Feng as good seedlings for martial arts, and naturally became the focus of his training.

These expenses were only maintained by Cheng Feng's subsidies from the fine salt business. Currently, the shipment volume of the fine salt business has increased, earning four hundred taels of silver each time, with three such opportunities a month, totaling one thousand two hundred taels.

The tavern has not yet expanded its scale, and the monthly income is still only a mere twenty taels. As for the Hongmen's current income, after deducting various expenses, it can only provide Cheng Feng with a surplus of sixty taels of silver per month, which is already a development in a good direction.

The next one to achieve something was Yu Niang.

On a sunny morning, sunlight poured down like a waterfall into the courtyard of the mansion. Under the guidance of Cheng Feng and Xu Miao, the women were practicing the Beng Shan Fist technique, move by move, coordinating with the rhythm of their breathing and the movements of the stances.

She hurriedly continued to maintain the fist stance, trying her best to adjust her breathing, attempting to guide the powerful force emerging within her body.

Cui'er, who was about to take a rest, keenly noticed Yu Niang's abnormal situation. Anxious, she immediately shouted for Cheng Feng and Xu Miao to come and check.

The good thing was that Yu Niang had an opportunity to break through after only a month. The worrying thing was that once the breakthrough process was interrupted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Yu Niang was about to lose control of the surging power within her body, her gaze happened to fall on Cheng Feng's demonstration of the fist techniques. Therefore, she unconsciously began to practice along with Cheng Feng's movements.

After unremitting efforts, when Cheng Feng led Yu Niang to complete the third practice of the fist technique, the anxious expression on Yu Niang's face gradually eased.

In the midst of a blank mind, she had actually forgotten all the previous explanations. Fortunately, Cheng Feng was guiding her by the side, which allowed Yu Niang to slowly calm down and recall the experience shared by Xu Miao and Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng and Xu Miao keenly noticed the changes taking place in her body.

When Yu Niang went all out and mobilized the strength of her whole body to perform the final move, "Sacrificing Life and Forgetting Death," the muscles and bones of her body resonated, making crisp sounds. At this point, Yu Niang finally successfully took the first step towards becoming a martial artist—entering the early stage of Lian Li!

"I really did it, Master, Sister Xu!" Yu Niang exclaimed excitedly, her voice trembling, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Cheng Feng and Xu Miao were equally moved, and they were sincerely happy for Yu Niang's achievements.

From this moment on, Yu Niang officially entered the ranks of early-stage Lian Li martial artists. Her strength increased by leaps and bounds, and she became more confident and determined.

After all, the three women themselves had extraordinary talents, had eaten snake meat before, and then received the assistance of two doses of carefully prepared medicinal soup every day, which led to such rapid results.

Cheng Feng could see this from Yu Niang's amazing rate of progress.

The women all showed surprised expressions, looking at Yu Niang with envy.

They all knew very well that Yu Niang, like the three little ones, possessed extraordinary martial arts talent.

Cheng Feng's requirements for the women were not high. He only hoped to maximize the strength of the women within his ability.

However, if it really came to the worst, Cheng Feng didn't think it mattered. At worst, he would support his women for the rest of their lives.

At the same time, martial arts is also an all-round exercise for the spirit, energy, and mind, which can improve physical fitness, enhance immunity, delay aging, and so on.

In addition, with the recent increase in the number of women, Cheng Feng no longer suppressed himself.

Could it be said that it was still the fault of her own man?

After seeing Cheng Feng's unsatisfied look,

And martial arts is also what Cheng Feng hoped to see.

Afterward, Cheng Feng's gaze involuntarily fell upon Yu Niang, who was standing beside him.

In Cheng Feng's eyes, Yu Niang possessed extremely high talent, in no way inferior to Xu Miao. According to Xu Miao, due to insufficient medicinal soup supply when she was young, she had entered the initial stage of Strength Training in just three months.

Thinking of this, Cheng Feng decided to find a suitable opportunity to talk to Yu Niang about this matter and observe her enthusiasm and determination for martial arts. After all, talent is important, but acquired effort is equally indispensable. Only when both are combined is it possible to achieve greater success on the path of martial arts. And all of this depends on Yu Niang's own choices and efforts.

Yu Niang nodded without hesitation, her eyes flashing with determination. "I am willing, Master. No matter what the final result is, I am eager to try."

From the moment she stepped into the Cheng residence, Yu Niang and her daughter, Xiao Yu, lived a hundred times better than they had in the outside world.

They ate well, lived comfortably, and Cheng Feng gave her not only physical comfort but also spiritual care.

Yu Niang was well aware of the stakes and was naturally determined to work hard to seize this opportunity and live up to Cheng Feng's expectations.

Since becoming Cheng Feng's woman, Yu Niang had felt a different kind of affection.

Moreover, she really needed to strengthen her body. Every time she looked at Cheng Feng's unsatisfied expression, Yu Niang would secretly feel sad, feeling that as a woman, she had not fulfilled her due responsibilities and obligations.

From that day on, with Cheng Feng's careful companionship, Yu Niang officially embarked on this extremely difficult and arduous path of cultivation.

Every day, she had to drink a lot of bitter and unpalatable medicinal soups, and then she began to practice those most basic martial arts movements day and night.

Cheng Feng naturally accompanied her attentively, guiding her during the day and serving her at night, which not only made Yu Niang feel warm but also made many other women deeply realize the Master's high regard for martial arts cultivation.

Now, Lian Niang was about to give birth, but Xu Miao was unable to cultivate due to serious injuries.

Cheng Feng carefully calculated: According to the early-stage tonic prescription of the Mountain Shattering Fist, drinking two doses of medicinal soup a day, each dose costing three taels of silver, would cost ninety taels a month. This...

Cheng Feng believed that this way of making money was too risky, but because there were too many places where money was needed, he could only endure it for the time being, taking it one step at a time.

As for the tools for refining fine salt, Cheng Feng had been carefully collecting them and preparing to destroy them at any time to prevent accidents.

As time passed day by day, with the help of medicinal soups, Xiao Fang, Mao Mao, and Xiao Ling were the first to enter the initial stage of Strength Training.

This allowed the other women to see the hope of becoming martial artists. Seeing these three lively and youthful girls had already embarked on the path of martial artists, Cheng Feng's heart was filled with joy.

Yu Niang practiced the movements smoothly and fluently, but when she completed the third set of boxing techniques, she suddenly felt a continuous stream of power surge into her body, completely unlike the feeling of exhaustion she usually had.

Sweat dripped from Yu Niang's forehead, gradually soaking her clothes, and her breathing became somewhat rapid and chaotic.

Hearing the shouts, Cheng Feng and Xu Miao rushed over without hesitation. When they saw Yu Niang's state at this time, they felt both excited and worried.

Cheng Feng had a flash of inspiration. He stood in front of Yu Niang and demonstrated the boxing routines, moves, and actions of the Mountain Shattering Fist over and over again, hoping that this method could bring Yu Niang some inspiration and vigilance.

Xu Miao instantly understood Cheng Feng's intention. He quickly directed the other women to clear the space and placed the prepared medicinal soup in an easily accessible location.

After all, she had witnessed the entire process of Xiao Fang and the other two girls' breakthroughs, but when this matter fell on her own head, she could not avoid feeling nervous.

Along with the display of each move and stance, Yu Niang's body began to undergo wonderful changes.

A layer of black grease gradually appeared on her originally fair face, and black substances began to seep out of her neck, wrists, and other exposed parts. Not only that, her muscle lines became more and more obvious and full of power, and her breathing became more and more steady.

Cheng Feng and Xu Miao looked at the woman in front of them with faces full of surprise. They knew in their hearts that Yu Niang had already achieved success.

She knew that if it weren't for Cheng Feng and Xu Miao's unwavering support and encouragement, she would never have been able to get to where she was today.

All the efforts and sacrifices she had made in the past had now been rewarded. Looking at the reborn Yu Niang in front of them, their hearts were filled with pride and joy.

Cheng Feng didn't know how much blessing points the three girls' qualifications could add, but the difference in progress between Yu Niang and the three girls might be related to the snake meat.

Although Yu Niang joined the residence later and was slightly older, although she relied on her own unremitting efforts to successfully catch up with the three girls and become the fourth martial artist in the Cheng residence, such an achievement was already very commendable. But that extraordinary talent must be indispensable.

Cheng Feng once said that talent is something that can only be encountered by chance and can only be compensated for by unremitting efforts and sufficient resources.

After all, it would be too embarrassing if you encountered a hooligan when you went out to buy groceries and didn't even have the power to resist.

However, long-term adherence to martial arts can create slender waistlines and full bust curves, which is simply a great boon for women.

Cheng Feng also hoped that all the women would become more beautiful and moving, with radiant complexions and delicate, glowing skin.

If the women didn't keep up with this pace, then they wouldn't be able to enjoy these surprising changes.

This is unreasonable!

Completely unreasonable!

Let all the women also inspire the determination to strengthen their physique.
