I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 17: A Proper Marriage, Jambu Vortex

"Zheng steward, congratulations~"

Fu Ning's indifference made everyone pause.

Zhao Yar's mouth twitched, his face pale. He glanced at Fu Ning's back and couldn't help but feel bitter: "I'm going to be killed by Brother Yu this time."

"You dare to congratulate me when I've lost my wife?"

"Are you trying to speed up your own death?"

Every member of the Zheng family gritted their teeth, their faces filled with anger as if they wanted to tear Fu Ning apart.

Zheng Xitu narrowed his eyes, his gaze coldly falling on Fu Ning's face: "Congratulations?"

"What is there to congratulate?"

"You better think carefully before you speak, because this could very well be your last words."

His words were filled with a chilling aura, even Zhao Yar shivered behind him.

Fu Ning pretended to be calm on the surface, but his heart was in a panic.

He had no doubt that if he said the wrong thing, the other party would not hesitate to kill him.

"Of course, I congratulate Steward Zheng on a good marriage."

"Hmm?"

Zheng Xitu's eyes flickered, the sharpness in his eyes increasing.

"A marriage?"

"Are you suggesting that I go and snatch a bride on the Spirit Turtle Three Mountains?!"

"That's not what I meant." Fu Ning shook his head. "I heard that Steward Zheng has already given the betrothal gifts?"

"Naturally!"

"When I, Zheng Xitu, marry, it must be done properly."

He said this, but there was no trace of tenderness in his eyes when it came to marriage.

This so-called proper marriage was most likely just a show for others. He had other motives for marrying.

Although Fu Ning felt puzzled, he suppressed his doubts and asked, "May I ask who you gave the betrothal gifts to?"

"Of course it's the Cheng family from Left-foot Lane. Cheng personally received the betrothal gifts! The marriage contract has been signed!"

"Then let me ask you, how many daughters does the Cheng family have?"

"..."

Zheng Xitu narrowed his eyes.

It seemed that he had already guessed what Fu Ning wanted to say.

"Are you suggesting that..."

A confident smile appeared on Fu Ning's face.

"A marriage is a serious matter."

"The Cheng family either apologizes and cancels this marriage, or they can continue to marry off their daughters."

The implication was that the Cheng family had two daughters in total.

One was Cheng Yun Niang, who had already become a Scenic Scholar and was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But the Cheng family still had another daughter...

Zheng Xitu's gaze flickered. In fact, he had long had this idea, but he had never made it clear.

He knew very well that this young man in front of him was just an excuse the Cheng family used to buy time.

And he himself was just playing along with the Cheng family.

Because his true goal was something from the Cheng family.

The Cheng family's marriage was just an excuse, and his own marriage was also an excuse.

Both sides were masters of pretending to be confused, they just needed an excuse.

The Cheng family blamed this young man, deliberately using him as a scapegoat, and then offending Yun Niang on the mountain.

But Zheng Xitu was not stupid. Instead of killing this young man, he would rather let him continue to cause trouble for the Cheng family.

After a moment, he raised his head, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You're quite good."

These three words were enough to make Fu Ning feel relieved. "Steward Zheng is too kind."

"It's my parents' decision and the matchmaker's words."

"This matter has nothing to do with me."

He nodded slightly, and as his gaze lowered, he glanced at Zheng Xitu's face.

In the wrinkles on his face, there were dense black sores, oozing pus, making him look less like a human and more like a zombie.

Cheng Meiniang, you better take care of yourself.

Zheng Xitu's gaze softened, and a smile began to appear at the corner of his mouth. "Of course, this is the etiquette that has been followed since ancient times."

He liked dealing with smart people.

Fu Ning in front of him was a smart person.

After speaking, he took out a wooden token from his pocket.

"This is the frequent customer token of Right-foot Lane. You're welcome to come and play anytime, little brother."

Fu Ning understood in his heart and took the token with both hands, saying in a deep voice, "Thank you for your kindness, Steward Zheng."

The front of the token was engraved with 'Right-foot', and the back was engraved with the character 'Zheng'.

Qian Duobao had also given him a similar token before.

It was probably equivalent to a VIP card for the corresponding lane entrance.

"You're too kind, too kind. When my wedding day comes, little brother, you must come and show your support."

Show support?

Fu Ning thought to himself: I'd rather die than go.

But he said with a smile, "Of course, of course."

I definitely won't go!

While the two were becoming friends, the people behind Zheng Xitu were all confused.

How did they go from wanting to eat each other alive to being so friendly?

"It's getting late today, little brother. We'll see each other again in the future."

With that, he waved his hand and led the Zheng family back home.

Fu Ning stood behind, rubbing the regular customer token from Youdeng Lane in his hand, watching their figures, his gaze gradually becoming profound.

"Zheng family... Cheng family..."

He always felt that Zheng Xitu was hiding some secret.

"I survived?"

He let out a sigh of relief.

Based on Zheng Xitu's demeanor earlier, he thought he wouldn't make it this time.

But unexpectedly, Fu Ning had just played dumb with him and said a few words.

And Zheng Xitu suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

"Big Brother Yu, we... should be fine now, right?"

Fu Ning withdrew his gaze and shook the wooden token in his hand. "We're fine."

Then he put the wooden token back on his waist along with the Qian Family's wooden token.

...

After a small disturbance.

The abandoned ship bay returned to its calm state.

Fu Ning let Xiaoya continue to dig for clams.

He himself returned to the cabin.

After this incident, he became even more eager to enhance his own strength.

In a world where the strong were respected, only by becoming stronger could one have a future.

[Fu Ning

Age: 15

Status: Seriously injured (Origin Qi loss)

Lifespan: 13 days/63 days (Ancient Jade Life Extension)

Realm: Scenic Scholar

Wonders: Jambu Vortex (can be observed), Spirit Turtle's Breath (can be observed)]

Yesterday, he obtained his first Origin Spirit in his inner world.

The Jambu Vortex immediately turned into a state of "can be observed."

[Wonder: Jambu Vortex

Type: Cosmic Dao

Rank: Unknown

Rarity: Unique

Description: Connects to the Jambu of the myriad worlds. Requires an Origin Spirit as an anchor to activate the wonder.]

The prerequisite for this wonder is that it requires an Origin Spirit as an anchor.

The so-called anchor should be something like coordinates or a pointer.

Considering that this is a cosmic Dao wonder, it is very likely related to the Origin Spirit itself.

"Could it be an Origin Spirit transmigration?"

Now he already has the first Origin Spirit in his inner world.

After a moment of hesitation, Fu Ning directly opened the file.

[Choose the Origin Spirit to enter the Jambu Vortex:]

[Origin Spirit: Cloud Spirit Turtle]

Currently, this is the only choice in his inner world.

[Confirm!]

A vortex appeared above the head of the Cloud Spirit Turtle.

Before the little turtle could understand what was happening, it disappeared from its original position.

"Hmm?"

Fu Ning was a bit confused.

"Where's my little turtle?"

At the same time, a virtual image of the Cloud Spirit Turtle appeared in the Jambu Vortex.

Its face still had the initial look of confusion.

As the Jambu Vortex rotated, the spirit turtle became smaller and smaller.

Finally, it turned into a crystal-clear turtle egg.

"What the... what does this mean?"
