Just as Ning Fengzhi waited for his servant to fetch the soul bone, his gaze returned to the jade talisman.
Taking advantage of the ti while everyone was focused on the talisman, Lin Feng silently began manipulating their traits.
His gaze fell on Ning Fengzhi.
[Clan Head]
[Wealth Rivals Nation]
These traits sounded imposing, but in reality, they didn't grant any supernatural abilities. Even if replaced, Ning Fengzhi's wealth wouldn't be affected in the slightest.
There was also [Dual Focus]—thanks to his Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart reaching the seventh level, even if the trait was swapped, he wouldn't forget any cultivation thods.
Lin Feng thought to himself: may as well leave it alone.
As for [Fate's Assistance], it was even sowhat beneficial to him personally.
That left only [Die Alone] as a candidate for replacent.
Though the na sounded miserable, it wouldn't take effect for another dozen years or so.
"System, refresh trait."
[Ding! Trait [Die Alone] has been refreshed. Please choose from the following three traits or retain the current one.]
[Green Hat (Gray)]: You will be cuckolded.
[Fallen in Battle (Gray)]: You will perish in a future battle.
[Estranged from Daughter (Gray)]: You and your daughter, Ning Rongrong, will grow distant over ti due to conflicts.
Lin Feng looked at the new options, frowning in thought.
He wasn't even sure if Ning Fengzhi's wife was still alive.
If she had already passed away, wouldn't choosing [Green Hat] be pointless?
Just then, a crisp child's voice called from outside:
"Daddy!"
Imdiately after, a beautiful woman with snow-white skin walked in, holding Ning Rongrong's hand.
Startled by the voice, Lin Feng sharply turned his gaze toward the doorway.
The woman had clear, luminous eyes like autumn water, elegant brows, and a natural charm. Her long lavender dress shimred gently as she walked, every glance exuding refined grace and maturity born of ti.
Her silky black hair flowed over her shoulders, swaying gently with her movents—every step she took carried poise and elegance.
Ning Fengzhi's previously furrowed brows softened into warmth.
"Rongrong, did you miss Daddy?"
He imdiately stood and picked up Ning Rongrong in his arms.
"Rongrong kept insisting on coming to see you," the woman said with a helpless smile.
After hugging his daughter, Ning Fengzhi finally rembered his guest.
"Lin Feng, this is my wife Liu Rong, and our daughter Rongrong."
"Rongrong, greet your big brother!"
He cheerfully introduced his wife and child.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong blinked her wide eyes and curiously stared at Lin Feng, sweetly calling out, "Big brother!"
With a gentle smile on his face, Lin Feng had already made up his mind.
He silently selected the [Green Hat] trait.
So Ning Fengzhi had been hiding his wife all along.
Sneaky guy.
Got sothing good and never thought to share, huh?
Lin Feng then turned his attention to Ning Rongrong.
He had been planning to et her in the future, but hadn't expected it to happen today.
Might as well refresh both her and Liu Rong's traits now.
"System, Trait Insight."

A gold trait?
Well, that made sense. Even Tang Hao's [Father of Destiny] was gold.
After all, Shrek was the main protagonist team.
Looking at the description, the trait was quite similar to [Father of Destiny].
Lin Feng's interest was piqued.
At that mont, Ning Rongrong, as if drawn to him by so mysterious bond, broke free from Ning Fengzhi's arms and ran up to Lin Feng, tugging at his clothes while repeatedly calling, "Big brother!"
The scene surprised everyone present.
Lin Feng casually picked her up and, inwardly, activated the trait refresh.
[Ding! Ning Rongrong's traits have been refreshed.]
Bored, Lin Feng glanced at the results.
To his surprise, [Rebellious] had been replaced with [Stockholm Syndro].
[Stockholm Syndro]: You develop emotional attachnt to your abuser, even transforming it into admiration or love.
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't this basically the textbook M-type personality?
No way was he leaving that one.
"Replace the trait!"
He inwardly commanded the system while looking even more fondly at Ning Rongrong.
Off to the side, Ning Fengzhi quietly observed the interaction.
If Rongrong got along well with Lin Feng, didn't that an she'd also get along with Xiao Yan?
The thought made him secretly pleased, and he took the initiative to strike up conversation with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, our Rongrong has never been this close to anyone before."
Ning Fengzhi teased with a smile.
"Maybe it's fate, hahaha," Lin Feng replied with a laugh.
"Ahem!"
Sword Douluo, standing nearby, couldn't bear the sight of Lin Feng getting so cozy with Ning Rongrong. He coughed aningfully, clearly displeased.
But Lin Feng, focused on the trait refresh, didn't even hear him.
Next, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong's mother, Liu Rong.
After refreshing her traits, two new ones appeared: [Lonely] (White) and [Unplowed Field (Green)].
[Unplowed Field (Green)]: No matter how many bulls try to till your field, it remains untouched. You're the empress among wives.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng swapped the trait.
Tsk tsk.
Guess that'll benefit the rest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Too bad it won't be .
The mont the trait was changed, Liu Rong glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Lin Feng chatting happily, a hint of lancholy rising in her heart.
Ning Fengzhi, you care so much about others—how long has it been since you ca to ?
As for Sword Douluo's traits, Lin Feng left them untouched.
His entire strength lay in the sword. Even if his swordsmanship trait was removed, you couldn't erase his sword intent or domain.
On the other hand, Bone Douluo had his green trait [Spatial Perception] swapped for [Master Blacksmith].
Sword Douluo's heart ached watching Lin Feng deliberately bounce Ning Rongrong on his knee—while she looked thoroughly delighted.
Unable to hold back, he sent a telepathic ssage to Ning Fengzhi:
"Fengzhi, Rongrong's about to be stolen by him!"
Hearing his uncle's resentful tone, Ning Fengzhi paused, his expression briefly stiffening.
Feeling a touch of regret, he turned to Lin Feng and said:
"Master Lin, it's getting late. May I escort you out?"
"Thank you, Clan Head Ning. Then we won't overstay our welco today."
Lin Feng gathered up the soul bones and stood to take his leave.
Ning Fengzhi and the others accompanied him to the clan's main gate.
Lin Feng stopped and smiled.
"Clan Head Ning, no need to see us off any further."
He touched the ring on his left thumb and gently pressed it.
In an instant, a flash of light enveloped him and Dugu Bo—their figures vanished on the spot.
"This... could that be a legendary teleportation-type soul tool?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, stunned.
"The Lin Clan actually has sothing like this? Wasn't it considered lost to history?"
"Even among ancient ruins, no one's ever found such a soul tool!"
"Could it have co from Senior Xiao Yan?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were both shocked, unable to stop themselves from speaking out.
anwhile, Ning Fengzhi stared at the jade talisman in his hand, deep in thought.
