Acting Becomes Reality

First, Jingni checked her precious daughter's body to confirm that she wasn't feverish or had a cold, nor had she wet her pants. Only then did she attempt to feed her.

Since the tent's interior was small, and Xiao Feng had already seen everything while helping deliver the baby, Jingni didn't mind his presence.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

Watching the little one devour her meal, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a bit thirsty and subconsciously swallowed.

Noticing Xiao Feng's unusual expression, a playful glint appeared in Jingni's beautiful eyes as she asked, "Do you want to drink too?"

"Ahem!"

Caught red-handed, Xiao Feng coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "What name are you planning to give this child?"

"Yan."

Jingni's lips parted slightly, revealing a somewhat complicated expression, "The Yan from 'oath.'"

"What will her last name be?"

"Wei."

"Wei Yan?"

Xiao Feng muttered the name softly, then gently touched Wei Yan's little cheek with his finger, "Then I'll call you Little Yan from now on."

"From now on?"

Jingni was slightly stunned, "Aren't you planning to leave?"

"Leave? Why would I leave?"

Xiao Feng shook his head, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, and Little Yan is so small. How could I abandon you both?"

"But... Net Trap is very dangerous."

Knowing that Xiao Feng had no intention of abandoning her, Jingni felt a bit touched but even more unwilling to drag him into it.

"It's okay. I'm very strong! Net Trap is nothing to me."

Xiao Feng first showed his biceps to Jingni, then took out a human skin mask from his ring and said, "Besides, I'm skilled in disguise. If I change your appearance, they won't recognize you."

With that, Xiao Feng pressed the human skin mask onto his face and instantly turned into a middle-aged man.

Seeing Jingni's surprised expression, Xiao Feng asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it? Pretty good disguise, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Feng had changed both his appearance and voice, Jingni's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Jingni, a killer from Net Trap, deeply understood Net Trap's terror and didn't believe Xiao Feng could contend with them.

But now, seeing Xiao Feng's impressive disguise skills, she saw hope of evading Net Trap's pursuit.

If Jingni could disguise herself and escape to another country, and never use her martial arts and the Jingni sword in front of others, Net Trap would have a hard time finding her.

"Xiao Feng, thank you!"

Jingni looked at Xiao Feng for a moment and sincerely thanked him.

Previously, though Xiao Feng had saved her life, without resolving the threat of Net Trap's pursuit, it was only a temporary solution.

But now, Jingni saw real hope for survival, and her gratitude towards Xiao Feng almost overflowed.

...

Over half a month later.

"Clop, clop, clop..."

A convoy of dozens of people slowly entered Xinzheng City, heading towards the Xiao Mansion in the wealthy district.

The convoy soon stopped at the gates of the Xiao Mansion. Dressed in black, Xiao Feng helped Jingni, who was holding Little Yan, out of the carriage.

At this moment, Jingni was dressed in luxurious clothes and adorned with heavy jewelry, looking like a noblewoman with no trace of her former identity as a killer from Net Trap.

Jingni's transformation was to hide her true identity and better protect her daughter.

In the original story, to escape Net Trap's pursuit, Jingni married Meng Tian, the leader of the Farmer's Sect's Lieshan Hall, and bore him a son, Tian Ci.

However, Meng Tian, discovering her exceptional martial arts, pretended to be indifferent but took advantage of her pregnancy and impending childbirth to threaten her with Tian Yan's life, forcing her to reveal her true identity.

Learning that Jingni had provoked Net Trap, Meng Tian was terrified and, fearing her retaliation, crippled her martial arts while she was at her weakest during childbirth, causing Tian Ci to be born prematurely with an intellectual disability.

Now, due to Xiao Feng's rescue, Jingni's fate changed.

With Xiao Feng's help, Jingni had disguised herself, but following him with her newborn daughter without any status would arouse suspicion.

Thus, Jingni became Xiao Feng's concubine, publicly claiming she was his maid who bore him a child before being elevated to concubine status.

Initially, Xiao Feng planned to fake being a couple, but Jingni insisted on making it real.

After all, Xiao Feng was just a passionate young man. Faced with the proactive advances of such a stunning beauty, his ambitions were easily stirred.

Moreover, with Jingni's ample supply, and Little Yan's small appetite, it would be wasteful if Xiao Feng didn't help share the burden.

Of course, Jingni's proactive behavior wasn't due to any physical attraction to Xiao Feng but to conceal her true identity.

After all, as Xiao Feng's favored concubine, if they slept separately, it would raise suspicion.

Furthermore, Jingni and Xiao Feng had only just met and didn't share a deep bond.

Though Xiao Feng was now willing to risk offending Net Trap to protect Jingni and her daughter, human nature is fickle, and she couldn't gamble on Xiao Feng's continued kindness.

Thus, Jingni chose to make it real, ensuring Xiao Feng's infatuation with her body would keep him loyal for the time being.

If Jingni bore him another child, she wouldn't worry about being abandoned.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong!

Perhaps Jingni's actions seemed calculating, but she had no better options.

Besides her body, Jingni couldn't think of any other way to secure Xiao Feng's heart.

Unaware of Jingni's true intentions, Xiao Feng wouldn't mind even if he knew, as he was gaining more than losing.

Upon learning of the master's and mistress's arrival, the Xiao Mansion's steward, Lai Fu, hurriedly led the servants to the gates to welcome them.

The steward and servants of the Xiao Mansion were all slaves purchased by Xiao Feng in Qin State, primarily to take care of Jingni and her daughter.
