Chapter 281: Return to Sun Glory

Once those words came out, all the four ghosts were completely stunned, their eyes filled with incredulity.

"Young….. Young Master said he possesses a methodology manual for ghosts to cultivate?"

Could….. could that really be true? It must be known that manuals for devilry cultivation was a whole lot harder to find than one for cultivators! When they had still been human in this world, they had only merely heard of it but had never seen it before.

If they were to have the methodology manual to be able to become devilry cultivators, then they would not have to worry about their Yin energy depleting and become unable to survive here under these Heavens! Moreover, once a devilry cultivator cultivated to a certain level, they would not need to fear the rays from the sun anymore! Then even in the day, they would be able to move about freely.

It must be said that those words posed an irresistible allure to all of them.

Not only would they be able to become devilry cultivators, they would be able to still protect Sunny. This was something that they did not even dare to think about.

"That's right."

Feng Jiu nodded, and said with a stern face: "But, if you people are to follow me, then you will have to serve under me and you must not harm people or otherwise, no need for others to exorcise you, I will have your soul scatter and disperse myself."

"We take the Young Master as our Lord! Never to betray! If we go back on our words today, may we be struck by lightning where our souls will scatter and disperse, never to be reincarnated!"

The four people knelt down respectfully and said in excited delight. To them, regardless whether it was to serve the person before their eyes as their Master or for them to be able to cultivate themselves as devilry cultivators, there were only advantages and it did not disadvantage them in anyway. Even if they were not given the methodology manual for them to cultivate, just by the fact that he had saved them today, they would never betray him.

"Alright then. All of you can go back into the God Soul Wood to recuperate. I have a manor in the mountains which will be perfect for all of you to stay and guard, where you will be able to practice your cultivation as well. As for Sunny, leave him to me for now and do not go close to him before all of you are able to control your Yin energy properly."

"Yes." The four ghosts acknowledged.

"I still do not know what are your names." Feng Jiu looked at them to ask.

"Master, I am called Zhao Yu He and this is my wife Lin Xin Hui. These is my father Zhao De Gao and my mother Fan Juan."

Hearing that, Feng Jiu then said: "I am called Feng Jiu. Let's do it this way. Dawn is about to break anyway, let's leave this place right now!"

Saying that, she came outside. Leng Shuang carried the soundly sleeping Sunny and waited beside Old White, while Little Ball that was lying upon the horse's back glanced lazily at them briefly before closing its eyes again to go back to sleep.

She took out the miniaturized airship and tossed it in the air. With the airship became big, she then said to Leng Shuang: "Carry Sunny into the room inside."

"Yes." Leng Shuang replied, and went on ahead onto the airship. After she settled Sunny inside properly, she then came back down and blindfolded the horse's eyes before tying the horse securely on the airship and bringing Old White up as well.

When the few members of the Zhao Family saw the airship, they could not help but gulp. It was an airship, and such a luxurious airship at that! This Master that they were serving, just what kind of a background did he have?

"All of you go into the God Soul Wood now!" Feng Jiu indicated, asking them to go hide in there.

The four of them acknowledged in unison, and morphed into four streaks of light as they went into the God Soul Wood, as Feng Jiu brought them up onto the airship, to go towards the Sun Glory Country…..

Two days later, as the airship was just too conspicuous, when they came just outside a city at the border of the Sun Glory Country, Feng Jiu then kept the Phoenix Flyer away, and three people then went towards the city riding upon the horses, with Feng Jiu thinking that they had time on their hands, so they did not need to rush back to the Cloudy Moon City.

After the three of them went into the city, and they were thinking that they already within the borders of the Sun Glory Country, they then found a place and changed into women's clothes. They purchased a few sets of clothes for Sunny before they travelled leisurely on their way towards the direction of the Cloudy Moon City…..

Chapter 282: Met a Man on the Street

In a full suit of white and a peerlessly beautiful countenance, no matter where Feng Jiu came to walk, she would naturally attract everyone's gaze. Not to mention that flawlessly beautiful face, with just that outstanding body and graceful demeanor, it was rare to see in the most prosperous of places and even among the nobility, so there's no need to talk about faraway and remote city at the border.

Leng Shuang was still clothed in a suit of black, that outlined the curves of her body, her face cold like icy frost, though beautiful, made people not dare to get close.

As they entered the city, they rode their horses in slowly and Sunny who was seated in front of Feng Jiu gazed around in curiosity, his face one of amazement.

Feng Jiu turned her head slightly to the side and said: "Leng Shuang, we'll go to the little wanton stall in front to wait for you. You go buy some dried rations so we have something to munch on on the road, and just pick up a little bit of cakes or titbits for Sunny along the way."

"Yes." Leng Shuang acknowledged, her legs gripping around the horse's body to go on ahead.

Meanwhile, Feng Jiu and Sunny came to the little wanton stall just not too far ahead, and ordered two bowls of wanton to eat as they waited.

"Big Sister Feng, it's so beautiful in the city. There are so many things that Sunny has never seen before." The little fellow's eyes were shining as he looked at her, his entire body exuding with happiness and delight.

"Big Sister's home is even prettier." She said with a smile as she rubbed him on his little head, before she continued on: "Eat quickly! Finish up and we can go along on our way."

"Mm, mm." The little fellow nodded his head excitedly, scooping up a wanton with his spoon and ate.

Throughout the journey, Sunny's obedient and sensible character had made Feng Jiu like the little boy a lot. Seeing him bury his little face into that large bowl as he ate the wantons, looking so squishy and adorable, it made Feng Jiu unable to help herself but to show a gentle smile on her face.

And right opposite the little wanton stall on the second level of a restaurant, a man dressed in a navy blue robe was standing at the window with his hands behind his back. With an unconscious glance, he saw that flawlessly beautiful young lady wearing a white blouse and skirt at the little stall who had her face slightly turned away with such a gentle smile on it. It was just one glance, and he could not take his eyes off her.

She's so beautiful!

Even for him who had seen many beauties before, had to say that the white clothed lady really made his eyes light up in mesmerization. Looking at her seated in such a simple and crude place, her demeanor was languid and carefree, but under that nonchalant ease, an indisputable calm composure and grace exuded out from her very bones.

She might have noticed that he was looking at her, and the smile on the lady's face retracted as she raised her eyes up to look at him. When he met her eyes, his heart quivered slightly.

What a beautiful pair of eyes!

That pair of clear eyes were so deep they were bottomless, but hiding a chilling sharpness. When looking at her initially, he had thought that she was a weak and gentle lady with flawless beauty. But the look into those eyes had let him understand that this woman was definitely not any common person.

Her gaze possessed an alluring glint, clear and filled with an icy indifference. She did not avert her eyes in the slightest, unembarrassed as she met his eyes with a gauging gaze.

Seeing that, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his eyes rising with a sliver of interest.

A middle aged man standing behind that man saw it and followed the first man's gaze, his eyes falling upon the figure of the white clothed young lady at the little stall. He merely looked gaugingly for a moment before he retracted his gaze, to stand guard respectfully behind the first man.

Feng Jiu the turned away and started to eat the wantons. That man had an extraordinary air about him and it was guessed that he was not just any common man. She was merely passing by here and she did not wish to have anything unexpected happen on the road, hence, she did not pay that man anymore attention.

However, just at that moment, quite a number of people were seen surging straight towards a certain location on the street, and she could faintly hear the voices raised in debate around her…..

Chapter 283: Tailing Along Behind

"I think that it was a black clothed maiden, and a rather good looking one as well. Unfortunately she encountered that pair of brother and sister."

"Go go go, let's go have a look. No one in this city of ours dares to go against them, I'm guessing they're not from around here."

Hearing those words, Feng Jiu's eyes flashed slightly as she noted the direction the people were running off towards to go see the commotion and she paused a moment before she asked: "Sunny, have you finished eating?"

"I'm already full, but it's not finished. What do I do?" The little fella did not want to waste it and was still scooping up the soup to drink. As he looked at the few wantons still left in the bowl, the expression on his face was one of reluctance to waste them.

Seeing that, Feng Jiu laughed lightly and rubbed his head as she said: "Don't eat it anymore if you're full. Don't stuff yourself too much as there's still cake later!"

She smiled and paid the bill, then held his hand while leading Old White to walk towards the crowd of people.

"My Lord is interested in that girl? Would my Lord want your subordinate to invite her over?"

The middle aged man upstairs saw his Lord's gaze following the white clothed maiden and he opened his mouth to ask.

After the man who stood with his hands behind his back heard those words, he turned his head around to glance at the middle aged man and said: "Do you really think, that you would be able to make her?"

Hearing that, the middle aged man was startled and he asked in incomprehension: "What does my Lord mean?" Why would he not be able to get that young lady to come? Moreover, with his Lord's identity, wanting to get the lady to come here would be just too easy for him.

The man did not say anything, but just saw the white figure walking towards the crowd and he turned himself around to go down the steps, intending to follow behind to go take a look.

When the middle aged man saw that, he went to follow behind in a hurry.

In a open space surrounded by a crowd of people, a slightly thin man was squashed under a fat woman and he was unable to get up. Because the fat woman's full weight was crushing him, his face was flushed a deep red, where he was finding it hard to breathe.

"Get….. Get off me!"

The man attempted to push the fat woman on him away to get up but he was unable to budge her at all.

"Oww….. Big Brother….. My hip hurts. She kicked me on my chest and it hurts….. it hurts so much that I am not able to stand up."

The fat woman lay sprawled completely on her back with her face up towards the sky. With her own elder brother as a human mattress under her, she had not felt all that much pain when she fell. But as she had been kicked on her chest, she was gasping for air so hard that she did not even have the strength to stand up.

Dressed in a suit of tight fitting black clothes, Leng Shuang swept a cold and unfeeling glance over those two people and was about to lead her horse away when she saw her Mistress holding Old White and Sunny as she stood among the crowd, where she then went walking towards Feng Jiu.

"Mistress, I've managed to purchase everything."

Feng Jiu threw a glance at those two people and nodded her head as she said: "Then let's go!" She lifted Sunny up onto Old White and then flipped herself up. Clipping Old White lightly on the abdomen and with a low shout, she proceeded forward.

With a tap of the tip of her foot, Leng Shuang flipped herself onto her horse as well and followed behind Feng Jiu to leave.

Seeing the two ladies leaving just like that on their horses, the people surrounding them could not help but be startled, feeling that the two of them were really bold to have beaten up the two siblings from a local wealthy family and were walking away from it just like that.

The man who was watching from among the crowd saw that and a skirt chasing glint rose in his eyes. Having come to such a lowly ninth grade Sun Glory Country on this trip, he had not thought that he would be able to meet such an exceptionally good looking and graceful maiden.

Watching the white figure gradually going further away, he did not hesitate to summon up his Qi to move, to chase after the figure in front.

The middle aged man was slightly stunned to see that and his eyes looked thoughtful a moment before he followed after with his brows knitted up.

Chapter 284: Caught off Guard

Feng Jiu was riding upon Old White as she moved on ahead and as they were moving along on the street, their speed wasn't all that fast. She did not ask Leng Shuang about what happened at all, like the earlier scene had not occurred, not bothering with it completely.

Actually, it wasn't that she was not concerned, but because knowing that Leng Shuang was fine, there wasn't anything else about the matter that was worth worrying herself about.

"Mistress, there's someone following us behind." Leng Shaung who was riding upon her horse beside Feng Jiu said, her gaze cold as winter's frost as she looked at the man following unhurriedly behind them.

"Let's go! No need to bother with him."

Feng Jiu said with nonchalance, knowing that it was the man upstairs from earlier without even having to turn his head back. The other party's highly invasive gaze making it hard for her even if she wanted to disregard it. If he dares to tail them, then let them follow as they wish then! She would like to see how the other party was going to keep up with them.

"Where's the titbits I asked you to buy for Sunny? Bring out a little of it." Feng Jiu said as she reached a hand out to say.

"Here, I bought sugared lotus seeds." Leng Shuang replied, handing over a little bag to her.

After Feng Jiu accepted it, she gave it to Sunny sitting in front of her and said: "Nah, hold it and eat. But do not eat too much in one go."

"Thank you Big Sister Feng." Sunny said with a happy smile, thanking her in delight.

"Good boy." Feng Jiu then said, similarly smiling as she gave his cheeks a pinch.

The man following behind watched them and although most of what he saw was only her back view, but her every gesture and action, her every frown and every smile, all fell into that pair of eyes, that he continued to observe with interest.

The two people in front moved on along upon their horses, till they went out through the city gates. The two men behind still followed, the only difference after they went out through the city gates being that the two men rode upon their swords to fly, trailing less than ten meters behind Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu did not even give them a single thought while Leng Shuang did not bother herself with them anymore because the other party was merely following them but did not take any further steps to do anything else. Although that was the case, she still kept her guard up as was necessary.

And like this, the group of people continued on forward in that strange and peculiar manner. Feng Jiu up front lifted a hand up lightly to push a few strands of hair that had fallen over her cheek back behind her ear, feeling the light caress of the faint breeze blowing past her gave. Her eyes glinted with a dim light, and a strange smile that was so faint it was almost unnoticeable curled up the corners of her lips.

About a half incense's period of time passed when suddenly, two loud crashes of something heavy smashing onto the ground sounded from behind that was followed by two mournful groans.

'Bam! Bam!'

"Ugh!"

Leng Shuang had always been keeping an eye out behind her. Hence, when she saw the men who had been riding unguardedly upon their flying swords fall down so wretchedly from a height of about two metres up in the air, she could not help but be rather surprised.

Turning to look at her Mistress and seeing the smile that curled up the very edge of her lips, Leng Shuang then realized that it was her Mistress' doing.

"Master, are….. are you alright?"

The expression on the middle aged man's face had changed, feeling rather shocked as the spirit power in his body had suddenly disappeared which caused him to fall to the ground. Not even bothering with all the mud stuck to his body, he immediately looked around him guardedly.

The other man was similarly extremely shocked at that moment as he gazed with a surprised expression at the white figure riding upon her horse who had turned her head back to look, feeling completely incredulous.

He had been too careless! He had not even thought that the lady could possibly be so capable. She had not even needed to turn her head back, not needed to strike at them at all, but had caused the spirit power in their bodies to deplete completely without them noticing a thing.

Could she possibly be an alchemist?

But that was not possible at all! How could such a lowly and tiny ninth grade country produce a highly revered alchemist?

Then, there was only one other possibility!

She has odourless and colourless drugs on her body that can deplete the spirit energy of cultivators!

Chapter 285: Back to Cloudy Moon City

Feng Jiu sat astride upon Old White and looked down at the two men who had fallen to the ground from her high up, and her lazy sounding voice was coldly distant when it came out.

"Both of you had better not continue to follow us, or the next time would not be such a simple lesson."

Tossing out that warning, she then turned herself around and clipped Old White on the abdomen as she left out a soft shout, when Old White was then seen to immediately gallop speedily on ahead.

Leng Shuang quickly drove her horse forward to give chase and very soon, the two ladies disappeared from the sights of the two men on the ground…..

"My Lord, that woman is truly not an ordinary person."

The middle aged man watched them ride away on their horses and he could not help but blow out a breath of relief. To have been able to trip them up without them noticing a single thing, that had truly been beyond anything they had expected.

The man laughed and his eyes glinted darkly while he said: "I had said that she isn't ordinary right? That proves, my eyes are never wrong."

"Your subordinate is only glad that she had not tried to kill us." Under those circumstances, if she had wanted to kill them, it was feared that they really might not be able to make through it alive.

The man threw the middle aged man a glance and said: "She doesn't even know who we are, and there is no grievance between us. Why would they want to kill us?"

His voice paused a moment and the corners of his mouth then curled up while a highly determined glint shone in his eyes before he went on to say: "But I had not thought that such a peerless beauty would appear here in a lowly ninth grade country like the Sun Glory. She is truly….. an unforgettable sight."

That's right. Just a short encounter had already elicited thoughts of him wanting to get her.

The thing that first attracted his gaze to her was her peerless beauty, followed by the elegance on her body, together with that sharp chill hidden within those eyes. What he had not expected was that she had been able to make both of them fall without them noticing a thing, and seemingly so effortlessly.

That mind, that resourcefulness, just made his skirt chasing intentions become more serious.

That woman, was one he really wanted!

He was thinking, to subdue that haughty and cold woman pressed down below his body. That would really give him a great sense of achievement!

Feng Jiu was not aware of the intentions this man held in his heart. If she had known, she would have turned back around and drove a blade right through him

The two people supported each other to the side of the road to sit down and have a rest. After roughly about two hours had passed and the effects of the drugs had subsided, the spirit power then returned to their bodies.

"My Lord, are we going to return back to the Green Gallop Country now?" The middle aged man looked at the man and asked.

The man was thoughtful for a moment before he replied: "Mm. We'll go back first and then send people here to look into the identity of that woman."

"Yes, my Lord."

The middle aged man had replied rather helplessly. Although he felt that that woman had better been left alone than to go antagonize her, but the Lord was interested in her, hence, there was no choice but to do what the Lord said.

On the other side

Leng Shuang asked in incomprehension: "Mistress, when did you employ those drugs? How come I did not see anything?" Those men behind had been watched her all that time. How did she do it undetected?

Feng Jiu curled up her lips and said with a smile: "If you had been able to see it, then how could those two men then have fallen for it?"

She was staring into the path ahead as she continued to say: "After we get to the Cloudy Moon City, bring the God Soul Wood to the Peach Blossom Ridge and let them guard the place. Also, bring your younger brother back to the Feng Residence."

Hearing that, Leng Shuang's face then showed a faint tinge of a smile. "Yes, Mistress." Thinking of her younger brother, a soft gentleness filled up her heart.

They travelled leisurely the rest of the way, and it was roughly about half a month later before they reached the Cloudy Moon City. Once in the Cloudy Moon City, Feng Jiu and Leng Shuang split ways. Leng Shuang rode her horse to go towards the Peach Blossom Ridge, while Feng Jiu rode Old White towards the Feng Residence with Sunny and Little Ball.

Because Old White was not willing to let Little Ball ride upon its head, Little Ball could only run after them on the ground behind…..

Chapter 286: She Has Come Back

"Did you hear? It is said that Guan Xi Lin who came out from the Guan Family has become the black market's top fighter on the charts."

"I already knew about that two days ago. You don't say, that Guan Xi Lin's fighting prowess and his gift is just terrifying. I went to the black market's arena to watch him fight and his moves were just amazing. For the Guan Family to have chased him out, it is just their loss."

"You can say that again. So many family clans have been trying to win his favour where some of them are even trying to draw him into their clans through marriage. But I heard that he is seeking to establish his own clan which has rendered many of those many clans helpless."

"That's right! Didn't he buy that large manor beside the Feng Residence? I heard that they had been setting that place up all this while and it seems like he is only waiting for an auspicious date for him to move in."

"The Guan Family must be dying with regret."

"Haha, that is most definitely the case."

"The Eldest Miss of the Feng Residence has not been seen recently and the word around seems to say that she went out for training?"

"Speaking about the Feng Residence's Miss, it is really unbelievable that she actually got Old Master Feng to annul her engagement to the Third Prince. With her face all ruined and disfigured, isn't she afraid that she will be left on the shelf after she breaks off the engagement?"

"So what if she is left on the shelf? The Feng Residence only has her to carry on their bloodline and the Feng Family can more than afford to feed her even if she does not marry. But, didn't I hear that the Third Prince was not willing to annul the marriage engagement? It seems that the matter is still hanging."

"The Third Prince is the most outstanding among the Sun Glory's younger generation. It was thought that the Feng Family's Eldest Miss was greatly blessed for her to be able to marry him. I really don't know what she….."

The man was speaking when his gaze suddenly turned into a stare, his eyes widening up in shock.

The other two men beside him turned their heads around to look. With that one look, their eyes widened in shock as well. Besides incredulity, there was also a look of embarrassment as well. They had not thought that the subject they were gossiping about behind her back, had actually heard everything they had said.

Hearing those words, Fen Jiu gav a faint smile and glanced at the men before she rode Old White to make her way towards the Feng Residence.

[So her Big Brother has taken first position on the black market's chart and has even bought himself a manor. He has done rather well for himself.]

[As for her engagement with Murong Yi Xuan….. she'll now go back and deal with it!]

It was until she had gone a far distance that the men snapped back to their senses and stuttered as they said: "That….. That was the Feng Residence's Eldest Miss Feng Qing Ge right? Her countenance has been restored?"

"It looks like it has been restored. It was said she left for training, but I think she went to seek treatment for her face."

Another one of the men then said, his eyes looking highly mesmerized: "She is indeed worthy of being our Sun Glory's greatest beauty. That countenance and elegance really is so stunning….."

Because Feng Jiu was riding on Old White who looked both like a dragon and a horse that made them so conspicuous, and added to the fact that Feng Jiu's looks had been restored, her flawless beauty also caused people who saw her to cry out in surprise.

"Isn't that the Feng Family's Eldest Miss, Feng Qing Ge?"

"Look! Her disfigured face has been restored?"

Many of the Cloudy Moon City's citizens knew her well and as she made her way towards the Feng Residence, everyplace she passed drew gasps of surprise and heated debate from the citizens.

"Did you know? The Feng Family's Young Miss, Feng Qing Ge has come back! And her face has recovered….."

Like that, the news spread from one person to ten, and ten to a hundred through word of mouth. It did not take long before the news spread to every corner.

-- Murong Yi Xuan's Residence --

Murong Yi Xuan shot to his feet behind his desk, his eyes full of surprise as he stared at the guard to ask: "Did you say Qing Ge has come back?"

"Yes, the Feng Family's Eldest Miss has returned and because she was riding upon a strange looking horse through the streets, many people noticed her. And her disfigured countenance has been restored as well."

When the guard finished, he felt a rush of wind blow past him. He raised his head up to look, and saw no sign of His Highness…..

Chapter 287: Coming Home

Before she even reached the Feng Residence's main doors, her family members who had heard that she had come back were all waiting outside the door, their faces happily joyous.

Feng Xiao was supporting the Old Patriarch as they stood outside the door in wait, their eyes overflowing with joy as they peered down the street, chattering excitedly.

"That child was too much. Leaving without even telling us beforehand, and it has caused me to be unable to get a good night's sleep all this time, worrying whether she would meet with danger out there. It wouldn't have been so bad if she had brought the several Feng Guards, but she only brought that little lass Leng Shuang. Fortunately she has returned safely now and I can finally put down this great rock that has been weighing down my heart."

"Tsk! Is that all you can take?"

The Old Patriarch glanced sidelong at his son, but the eyes were still filled with smiles. The kind of joy and excitement that was spilling out from deep inside his heart was spreading to everyone around him, and everyone was anticipating for the Eldest Miss' return.

"She's coming! She's coming! The Eldest Miss is back!"

A servant shouted out delightfully, as he pointed at the white figure that had appeared upon the street.

Because she was riding upon Old White as she came in and was in a higher position than the people, she was immediately spotted the moment she appeared. After the initial wave of delight, when they saw that the Eldest Miss' disfigured face had recovered to its original look of unmatched beauty, they could not help but cry out in surprise.

"Old Master, Master, the Eldest Miss' countenance has really recovered!"

"Hahaha! Little Feng has come back, quick! Light the firecrackers!"

The Old Patriarch hollered in joy, and as his voice fell, the deafening crackling of firecrackers burst out merrily before the main doors of the Feng Residence, immediately drawing a crowd to gather there, all of them peering inquisitively.

Feng Jiu could see the joyous expressions on the faces of her family from afar as she came riding in slowly upon Old White, which made her unable to help herself but to reveal a smile on her face. Seeing that they had even lit firecrackers outside the doors, joyous atmosphere immediately spread over the place in an instant.

Sunny who was seated in front leaned back slightly when he saw the bustling and crowded scene, his hand gripping upon Feng Jiu sleeve, feeling a little happy, but also a little fearful.

Sensing his unease, Feng Jiu smiled at him and rubbed his little noggin before she turned to look at the two men who had come forward to extend their welcome, where she then called out.

"Grandfather, Father, I've come back."

"This child here, how could you not discuss it with your father a little but left the house just like that? You've made your father so worried all this time. It's fine that you're back now, it's fine that you're back now."

He went forward to hold Old White reins and then saw the little child seated in front. He then asked in surprise: "Where is this young child from?"

Feng Jiu flipped herself off the horse, and then carried Sunny down.

"Why are you asking so many questions for? We're still out here in the street you know! ? Come come come, we'll talk after we go back inside." The Old Patriarch said as he glared at Feng Xiao, and got people to go lead the horse inside. But who would have known. The guard was unable to move Old White in the slightest.

"Young Miss, the horse is immovable." The guard said sheepishly as he rubbed at his nose, slightly embarrassed.

Hearing that, Feng Jiu gave a light laugh and went to stroke Old White on its head as she whispered a few words into its ear. Old White gave its tail a swish before it then lifted its hooves to trot its way inside.

Blending in within the crowd of people, Little Ball had already gone running inside a step before everyone, to tour the inside of the Feng Residence.

"Haha, this horse isn't too bad, just that it looks a little strange." Feng Xiao said with a boisterous laugh as he looked at the dragon like white horse, feeling a little curious about the kind of breed that horse belonged to.

"Grandfather Feng, Uncle Feng." A young and juvenile voice called out, tinged with a little timidness.

The Old Patriarch and Feng Xiao were taken aback as they looked at the child still standing at Feng Jiu's side, his clear bright eyes tinted with traces of unease and trepidation. The two men could not help but smile, as they offered a word of praise.

"Such a good boy. Come, let's go inside!"

The entire bunch of people went walking inside. However, a soft voice then called out from behind, which caused them to halt in their steps…..

Chapter 288: Revealed Mercilessly

"Qing Ge."

That single call of Qing Ge made everyone who had already crossed over under the doors to pause in their steps, and to turn their heads back to look.

Seeing that noble figure dressed in purple in a robe standing not too far away from the Feng Residence, everyone could not help but to look at Feng Qing Ge, the white robed peerless beauty whose entire person exuded a chilly demeanour.

The person who came here was the Third Prince himself, Murong Yi Xuan, her fiance. Although it was said that the engagement between the two people was already proposed to be withdrawn by Old Patriarch Feng but as Murong Yi Xuan was unwilling to, the engagement was left hanging and the relationship between the two of them was still not severed.

The spectating crowd had initially not really been in favour of this engagement as Murong Yi Xuan was the Sun Glory's most gifted among the new generation, a proud son of Heaven with a limitless future.

And though Feng Qing Ge was the Feng Residence's Eldest Miss, and was also the Sun Glory's greatest beauty, but in this world where powers reigned supreme, her powers in the eyes of the people were just ordinary and unremarkable, to the extent that the gift of some pampered offsprings from some other family clans was even greater than hers. Not to mention when her countenance had even been disfigured some time ago.

Even if her looks had now been restored, but as her powers were really just too weak, the people still think that she was not worthy of Murong Yi Xuan. Afterall, beside a proud son of Heaven, must stand only a lady with top notch powers and beauty.

"All of you can go ahead inside first!" She handed Sunny over to her grandfather, and asked them to go inside.

"Alright, the two of you have a chat. If that doesn't work, then ask him to come in as well." The Old Patriarch said, and then brought Sunny to walk inside.

Feng Xiao glanced at Murong Yi Xuan and then sighed while shaking his head before he made his way in as well. Although he rather liked Murong Yi Xuan, a pity, his daughter did not like him and there was nothing he could do about it. No matter how satisfied he was with Murong Yi Xuan, he would let his daughter preference take precedence.

Murong Yi Xuan walked himself forward and saw that the scars that had been on her face had all disappeared, restored to its original snowy smooth flawlessness. Seeing her looking so peerlessly beautiful but being so distant, his heart twinged slightly with pain but his face was showing a gentle smile instead.

"There's a teahouse just up ahead. Shall we go have a cup there?"

Feng Jiu glanced at him and saw that many people were crowded around and looking at them. She nodded her head and followed him to go to the nearby teahouse, where they got themselves a private room on the second floor.

In the private room, the atmosphere was heavy. It wasn't filled with the light air of fluffy love, nor was there the sense of bashful longing.

The two people sat at the table, and Murong Yi Xuan poured a cup of tea for her. Seeing her detached and distant demeanor, he restrained and concealed the pain in his eyes while he said with his gaze fixed upon the cup of tea in his hands: "About the matter where Grandfather Feng met my Father to withdraw our engagement, I did not agree to it."

Feng Jiu picked up the tea and took a sip. Hearing those words, her gaze changed slightly and she glanced over at him to say: "I have already spoken to you about withdrawing from the engagement. We are not suited for each other and there is no point dragging it any further."

"Unsuited?"

He looked up startled at the highly apathetic Feng Qing Ge. His smile was bitter as he said: "It could be said that we grew up together from young, how could we be unsuited to each other? I know that you must be angry with me because I wasn't able to recognize you before, and I know that I was at fault. But Qing Ge, can't you give me another chance?"

Hearing that, Feng Jiu laughed and shook her head as she looked at him, her bright eyes seeing through it all, her clear voice coming out from her mouth measured and calm as the words struck at his heart mercilessly.

"Actually, you do not really love Qing Ge as much as you imagine. With your intelligence, I believe that you would have long detected that the person sitting right here before you is not the same Feng Qing Ge that you are familiar with."

Chapter 289 Thoroughly Enjoy a Cup

Hearing those words, Murong Yi Xuan's hand trembled slightly, and the light within his eyes dimmed slightly, his face starting to become tinged with a slight paleness.

Seeing that demeanor coming over him, the corners of Feng Jiu's mouth tightened and she went on to say: "Since you are already knew that, why do you pretend otherwise? The old Feng Qing Ge might be taken with you, but I, Feng Jiu will not. You are as good as a stranger to me and that is why our engagement must definitely be broken off."

"Feng Jiu?" He raised his eyes up to look at her.

"That's right. My name is Feng Jiu, and you can also call me Feng Qing Ge, but I am definitely not the Feng Qing Ge who was smitten with you."

Hearing that, his lips moved slightly like he was about to ask something but in the end, he did not manage to utter a single word. He lifted up his tea to his lips and took a sip from it to calm his own heart. After a long pause, he then said: "I understand. I agree to break off the engagement."

"That's for the best." The ends of Feng Jiu's lips lifted slightly, to reveal a smile.

Seeing the delight that showed on her face, Murong Yi Xuan's eyes then glinted as he said: "I would like to get to know you all over again."

Under her shocked and surprised gaze, he showed a gentle smile on his face as he said: " You are absolutely right. That first meeting at the restaurant, the second encounter in the Peach Blossom Ridge, and seeing you once more on the street, you had me mesmerized, moving my heart every one of those times, making it impossible for me to forget you. Hence, even if I have agreed to break off the engagement, I will still continue to pursue you."

Feng Jiu shook her head and stood up with a laugh. "I will advise you to not waste any of your time on me and go work on cultivating yourself instead!"

Leaving those words, Feng Jiu then left. She knew very clearly that she would never fall in love with someone like Murong Yi Xuan. Although he was highly outstanding, he was not suited for her.

Seeing her turn around and leave, he did not stop her, because he knew that as long as he grew strong enough, and was outstanding enough, then, the day would come where she would definitely become his woman!

In this world where power reigned supreme, the powerful were revered, and the weak were not able to survive. Even if she had the Feng Residence behind her, in this vast and wide world, she would come to discover one day that only someone with great power would be able to protect her.

And she was right as well. He needed to work hard on his cultivation. The Sun Glory Country was merely a stepping stone for him and he would not hole himself in here his entire life. Out there in the world, the skies were wider that would allow him to soar…..

-- Feng Residence --

Coming back home, Feng Jiu had not even entered the hall when she already heard Guan Xi Lin's voice reaching her ears.

"Why is Little Jiu not back yet? That Murong Yi Xuan is just too much. As a man, being so wishy washy makes him rather lame."

"Who says I am not back?" She went walking inside with a smile, and immediately saw the seated Guan Xi Lin getting up to welcome her back the moment he saw her.

"Little Jiu, you're finally back at last. I came rushing back here the moment I heard that you've returned."

"You're almost about to move into your house, how can I not come back for that?" She said with a laugh. When she did not see Sunny in the hall, she then went on to ask: "Grandfather, where's Sunny?"

"He was tired, and I had the servants bring him behind to have some rest." The Old Patriarch said with a smile, and then continued: "I've also ordered the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that you like. Have a few drinks with me first before you go back to your courtyard to rest."

When he heard those words, Feng Xiao's brows creased up in slight disapproval as he said: "Father, Qing Ge must be tired out from her journey back. Shouldn't you let her have a good rest before you ask her to drink with you? See how much she has lost on this trip out. She must have suffered quite a lot out there and did not get much rest."

Hearing those words, Feng Jiu laughed and said: "It's alright. I'm not….." She was interrupted before she could finish.

"Mm. I think that Little Jiu should go get herself some rest first. We'll then be able to thoroughly enjoy a few good rounds tonight."

Chapter 290: Handing Out Gifts

Seeing that, the Old Patriarch stroked his beard and waved his hand dismissively as he said: "Hahaha. Alright, alright. I give up. Go on then, Little Feng. Go get some rest but you'll have to drink a few cups with grandfather tonight."

"That works. Then I'll go get myself some rest first."

She gave a light laugh, and she had barely taken two steps when she paused and turned her head back around to look at them before coming back with a smile. "I have not given out the presents yet!"

"My child, there's no need to bring us gifts on a trip out in training."

Feng Xiao laughed and shook his head, thinking that it was good enough that she was back safe and sound, not really bothering whether there would be any gifts. But when he saw the item she brought out, he could not help but widen his eyes, his face contorted up in incredulity.

"This….. This….. is Red Jade Coral? Where….. Where did you get it from?"

Immediately, endless thoughts passed through his mind as he stared at the extraordinarily precious Red Jade Coral, feeling that it was just too great a gift!

It must be known that the item was something rather priceless. Besides being a great ornament to be admired, it could also be used for cultivation. Even being part of the Imperial Court, he had only ever seen a small little pot of it but his daughter had gone ahead to bring back such a enormous one which delighted him so much just thinking about it.

Feng Jiu looked smilingly at him and said: "Father, this is for you!" Upon saying that, she turned to look at her Grandfather sitting at the side and pulled out a wine gourd before she went bringing it to him.

"Grandfather, this is spirit wine that I brought back specially for you. I've tried it and the taste is robust and unforgettable. Moreover, the wine gourd that contains the wine is also a magical artifact that is able to hold five hundred catties of wine. From now on, Grandfather will not have to worry that the gourd does not hold enough."

"Hahahaha, good good good. Little Feng truly know me well, knowing that the thing I love most is wine." The Old Patriarch accepted the gift with delight and he just could not wait to open the stopper on the gourd to have a whiff of the wine's fragrance.

He was seen to take a deep whiff, his eyes closed in enjoyment as he said: "What fragrance! And the thick robust scent of spirit aura in the wine! I'm certain such fine wine cannot be found throughout the entire Sun Glory Country!"

"Really? Let me try a sip."

Feng Xiao had instantly sidled up forward when he heard that. Who would have known but the Old Patriarch immediately clutched the wine gourd tightly to his chest protectively as he waved his hand to shoosh his son away. "Go away, this was brought back specially for me by my precious granddaughter. You have your own present already, so don't come eyeing mine."

Looking at the two of them banter, a gentleness rose up in Feng Jiu's eyes. Family like this felt so great, simple and warm. Although there were no many of them, but they valued kinship very much. The kinship she had not ever felt in her past life was all being fully gained here.

"Big Brother, this is for you." She smiled as she took out the Eight Trigram Dish and handed it to Guan Xi Lin.

Guan Xi Lin was slightly taken aback and he exclaimed in surprise: "I have a present too?"

Hearing that, Feng Jiu could not help but laugh and say: "Of course! You are my family too. Father and Grandfather have their gifts, how can I possibly leave you out?"

She laughed as she spoke, watching him hold the item without knowing what it was and she went on to explain: "This is the Eight Trigram Dish, a magical artifact. You can use it to fly, or to deal with an enemy."

Hearing her say that, Guan Xi Li started to toy around with the Eight Trigram Dish, his face lit up in joy.

"I'll be returning back to my courtyard now." She said smilingly, as she went walking inside.

When evening fell, Leng Shuang and Leng Hua returned. Dinner had been prepared in the manor and the servants were scurrying around busily, driving the entire Feng Residence into a bustling hive of activity.

Playing with Sunny, Feng Xiao then raised his voice to holler across: "Leng Shuang, go check if Qing Ge has woken up. Tell her she can come over anytime as everything is almost all prepared here and we are just waiting for her to start."

Chapter 291: The Engagement Broken

"I will."

Leng Shuang answered and she was making her way to the back when she saw her Mistress coming out with a big yawn as she walked. Seeing that, she called out in address: "Mistress."

"Mm." Feng Jiu acknowledged with a grunt. Having just awoken, she was still taken with sleepiness and she was feeling mighty lazy.

"Mistress." Leng Hua saw her and his face could not help but to show a delightful smile as he came forward to greet.

Feng Jiu's gaze looked Leng Hua up and down throughout before she smiled and said: "Looks like your body buffed up quite a bit."

"I practise Tai Chi every morning and night. The condition of my body has improved tremendously." Leng Hua said happily.

"That's great." Feng Jiu nodded and she walked herself over to the Old Patriarch who already could not help himself and had started drinking to say with a smile: Grandfather, aren't you afraid you'd get drunk? The kick from that wine packs quite a punch and you must not drink too much at one go."

"Hahaha, I'm alright, I can hold my drink very well!" The Old Patriarch said with a great laugh as he poured out more wine to take a sip before he waved his hand to call out: Since everyone's here, have the servants serve up the food. Come come, everyone take your seats."

"Big Sister Feng." Sunny came running over to hug her thigh. His face was rather happy as he said: "Big Sister Feng's house is so beautiful. Uncle Feng even brought Sunny to go see fish!"

Hearing that, Feng Jiu laughed and ruffled the little fella's head and said: "It's great that you like it. Be a good boy in here alright?"

"Mm mm, Sunny will be good." Sunny said with a clear voice as he nodded his head solemnly.

That night, the entire family gathered together happily, eating and chatting till the night deepened, before they dispersed one after another feeling a little tipsy.....

-- Two days later --

News that the engagement between Murong Yi Xuan and Feng Qing Ge had been dissolved spread throughout the Cloudy Moon City. The moment the news reached the people, some of them gloated, while some clapped their hands in approval. It could be said that the majority of the people did not look upon the engagement between the two people well, and now that it had been called off, many of the people were secretly happy about it.

Afterall, from what they could see, Feng Qing Ge was not worthy of such a proud son of the Heavens like the Third Prince. For a man like that, the woman at his side must definitely hold great might behind her and possess outstanding individual powers herself. Otherwise, just having great looks alone was completely useless.

Everyone felt that Feng Qing Ge was not worthy of Murong Yi Xuan and it was only the people from the Feng Residence who felt that it was Murong Yi Xuan that was not good enough for Feng Qing Ge. Hence, when the people outside were heatedly discussing about the matter, every one of the guards and servants in the Feng Residence were indignant with rage.

In their point of view, their Eldest Miss was stronger than anyone! And more outstanding than anyone!

And Feng Jiu in her courtyard was not bothered by it at all. She only needed to know that the engagement had been dissolved as at that moment, all her thoughts were focused upon the book she held in her hand. Having carefully studied it for two days and the spirit herbs she had stored in the space, all that was left was for her to start learning by experimenting with her own hands the most basic of Alchemy.

For her to be able to advance into becoming a Foundation Cultivator, then the Foundation Pill was a must and it would be too impractical to go out and purchase it. Needless to say that it would be highly difficult to find just one single Foundation Pill in the Sun Glory Country and even if there was one, she felt that it would not set her mind at ease as much as one that she had cultivated by herself.

Moreover, in the manual that her Master gave her, it mentioned a kind of Perfect Foundation, a kind of Foundation that was so rare it was almost one in ten thousand. If she could achieve the perfect Foundation, then that would set the best foundation for her to advance into the Golden Core or even the Nascent Soul stages.

Hence, over this period, Feng Jiu was not anxious in advancing her own cultivation but was instead getting everything properly prepared so that nothing would go wrong when she was striving for a Perfect Foundation.

Chapter 292: A Loud Explosion!

Feng Xiao came walking over and saw her reading a book in the yard. His stern face then showed a loving and indulgent smile as he said: "What book are you reading? You seem to be so engrossed in it."

"Father."

She closed her book and stood up as she flashed a sly smile at Feng Xiao. "Just researching into something new."

"Being so mysterious. Alright, Father won't probe. I came here just to see how you're doing and to tell you that the little courtyard you wanted cleared out is ready. By the way, what are you intending to use that courtyard for? Do you need me to add anything to it?"

"There's no need. It just needs to be emptied out." Feng Jiu said with a smile and then continued on: "I might be a little busier over the upcoming period, so I'll have to trouble Father to help me look after Sunny for me."

"No worries about that! That child is just so obedient. I already employed someone to teach him how to read and write. I'll also teach him to practice the horse stance to build his foundation. Come on now! Let Father accompany you to go have a look at the courtyard. If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, tell me and I'll have someone take it down."

"Alright." Feng Jiu said with a smile, as she walked out together with Feng Xiao.

When the two of them came to some replica miniature mountains as they walked, they could hear laughter coming from afar. She raised her eyes up to look and saw the full white flabby body of Old White teasing several servant maids in play.

Seeing that scene, Feng Xiao went on to say with a laugh: "Old White was initially locked up in the stables by the servants but it just refused to stay in there. I then asked people to release it from its tethers and allowed it to roam by itself within the manor."

Looking at Old White who was lying on its back with its hooves up in the air as the servant girls rubbed its belly, Feng Xiao shook his head and said while laughing: "I must say, Old White is highly intelligent. I saw that it likes to go stick itself among the servant girls but is always treating the guards with disdain, which is really strange. Even the Old Patriarch said that he has never seen a dragon horse like Old White."

Feng Jiu glanced at Old White who laid there with its belly exposed and its hooves in the air, and she found herself rather speechless.

"Old White has always been that lecherous. When I encountered Old White for the first time, it had refused to move a single step no matter how hard its previous owner pulled at it. Who would have known once it met me, it immediately came pounding its hooves over to me, chasing me the entire way, and its previous owner then decided to give it to me as a gift."

As the father and daughter pair came near, the several servant girls then hurriedly scrambled to curtsy respectfully in greeting, calling out in soft voices: "Old Master, Young Miss."

"Neigh!"

Old White flipped itself up onto its hooves to stand on the ground, immediately wanting to go sidle itself up against Feng Jiu but was stopped by Feng Xiao.

"Ay ay ay, this dragon horse. Don't go sticking yourself right up against my daughter all the time."

Standing behind, Feng Jiu saw her father's brawny figure standing in front to block Old White away from her, she just could not help but laugh out loud slightly.

"Father, just accompanying me up to here will do. I'll make my own way to the courtyard myself from here." She said as she stepped out from behind him. As she passed beside Old White and she saw Old White's body that was hanging over with fats, she turned her head around with a smile and said: "Don't let Old White have its fill too much. Let it shed off a bit of all that flesh."

"Rest assured about that. Just leave it to your father and there will not be a problem. I'll bring it out later to run a few rounds." Feng Xiao said with a boisterous laugh, and gestured for Feng Jiu to go on ahead while he remained behind, leading Old White away in another direction.

After Feng Jiu came to the courtyard, she then took out the pill furnace and some of the spirit herbs she had scammed out of the Hell's Lord, thinking to start learning from the most basic and simplest pills. Her first trip to the courtyard, quickly took up the entirety of six whole hours.

As the doors into the courtyard were closed, and the doors of the emptied out Alchemy Room were similarly shut, no one knew what she was so busy with inside. Until, a suddenly loud boom sounding like an explosion rang out within the Feng Residence. That sound quaked through the Feng Residence, sending a slight tremor through the floor, causing the people inside the manor to come running out in shock to take at look.

Chapter 293: Failure on the First Try

Only a plume of black smoke could be seen rising above a certain courtyard, accompanied by a pungent burning smell spreading through the air, causing everyone to become highly alarmed.

"That seems to be the courtyard that the Eldest Miss got people to empty out!"

" The Eldest Miss went in there early this morning and she still has not come out from there ever since!"

"Heavens! Could something have happened to her?"

Once that thought came into their mind, the servant girls and guards all went running towards the courtyard, deeply afraid that something had really happened to their Eldest Miss.

"What's going on? Did something happen?"

When Old Patriarch Feng heard the noise, he came running out as well and peered all around. When he saw that smoke was spewing up from one of the courtyards, he was rather alarmed as he asked: "What is going on over there?"

"Old Grand Master, that is the courtyard that the Eldest Miss asked people to empty out. The Eldest Miss went in there this morning and she has not come out from there since. The loud noise earlier came from that courtyard and it sounded like something exploded in there."

The steward who came running in said hurriedly, and his voice had just fallen when the Old Patriarch lifted up his robes and went shooting forward like an arrow towards the courtyard. Seeing that, the steward rushed forward to follow after being stunned in his spot for a moment.

When everyone came rushing over to the courtyard in a hurry and saw the scene inside through the doors, they could not help but stared completely flabbergasted.

They only saw their peerlessly beautiful Eldest Miss fallen onto the ground in a sitting position, her entire body black with soot and in a complete mess. It was impossible to tell the original colour of the casual clothes upon her body that she wore within the manor, her dark hair sprayed full of bits and pieces of remnant herbs, looking slightly curled seemingly from having been exposed high temperature. Her face was botched black and white in places, her entire person looking rather wretched as she sat on the ground coughing, while the room in front of her continued to spew out puffs of burning smoke.

[What..... What kind of a situation is this?]

Everyone stood there staring, stunned with shock. Someone then snapped back to his senses and shouted: "Eldest Miss, are you alright?"

"Cough cough, cough cough cough....."

Feng Jiu who had been thrown back from the blast to fall sitting on the ground waved her hand before her to disperse the charred smoke spewing out of the room before her as she covered her hand over her nose and mouth while still coughing. She then slowly stood up and turned her head to see that many people were gathered outside the courtyard, before she waved her hand at them.

"I'm fine. You all do not need to crowd around here. Just go carry on with whatever you have you do."

Upon finishing those words, she then walked herself towards the Alchemy Room that was still spewing out charred smoke. Her first try at alchemy, had the furnace exploding. The blast from the furnace had spurted out all of the spirit herbs she used, which had been more than ten kinds. Even she had not been able to avoid the blast where she had then been sent flying out, turning her into a complete mess.

She opened the windows to let the charred smoke disperse and when she saw the remnant herbs scattered all over the floor, the expression on her face was one of pain from all of that being wasted.

"What a waste. It would cost a lot money to go buy them."

"Little Feng? Are you alright Little Feng?"

Rushing in from outside, Old Patriarch Feng immediately went into the Elixir Room upon stepping into the courtyard while the steward stood dutifully just outside the doors as the other people dispersed.

Turning her head back and seeing that it was her Grandfather, Feng Jiu rubbed at her nose and said with a smile: "Grandfather, I'm fine, but I just wasted a whole stove full of good herbs."

"As long as your person is fine. I heard that loud blast and saw he spewing smoke. I had thought something serious happened."

The Old Patriarch saw that she was fine, but looking just rather dirty and messy, and he was finally relieved. As he looked over the big mess throughout the entire place and saw the Pill Furnace, he became slightly startled before he asked: "You..... You are refining pills?"

"I'm just learning how to! And I have..... destroyed one whole furnace full here." Feng Jiu said with a helpless shrug. "It was easier while reading about it on paper, and I only realized that there are endless obstacles after I put it into practice."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Old Patriarch Feng then said lovingly: "Don't be discouraged. Grandfather believes that you will definitely succeed."

Chapter 294: Determined to Challenge

"Mm. I definitely will."

She then smiled conspiratorarily and said: "But Grandfather, no one must come into this courtyard of mine. Will you go give the order to the servants when you go back? Do not even let my Father come in here."

"Haha, alright. Not a problem with that. Your father brought Old White to circle a few rounds and is not in the manor now. If he was here, he would have already come charging right in." The Old Patriarch said with a laugh. Glancing around at the messed up Alchemy Room, he then asked: "Do you want to have somebody come help you?"

"When Leng Shuang comes back, just ask her to come here."

"Alright then! You be a bit more careful yourself. Just don't get hurt." The Old Patriarch reminded, still a little worried.

"Mm. I will." Her heart filled with warmth as she saw her Grandfather out and went back into the Alchemy Room to tidy up, analysing once again the reason for her failure.

For a long while, she stood before the pill furnace and summoned up the spirit energy within to light the fire under the stove. As the natal flame roared to life under the pill furnace, she retracted back her hand and controlled the intensity of the flame as she watched the temperature in the furnace carefully.

In the beginning of the previous round, everything had been fine. It was only until the back where the pill was coagulating that the problem occured. It must have been because she had not controlled the flame and her spirit power well enough.

With the experience from her first failure, she carefully worked the furnace again another time, not daring to be careless in the slightest. But after about four hours, the pill furnace started to quake and she was startled when she saw that, immediately picking up her legs to run the very next moment.

'Boom!'

Charred smoke spewed out from the courtyard once more, and this time, everyone in the manor merely paused a moment in startlement, before they continued on with their own tasks, because the Old Patriarch had given his orders that they need not bother with anything that happened in the Eldest Miss courtyard, and they did not need to go see as well.

But, they were all still rather curious. [What is the Eldest Miss doing in there? Why is there another loud explosion?]

Over at the Alchemy Room, Feng Jiu was determined to tackle the challenge. She paused a moment in the courtyard to recollect herself as she watched the charred smoke disperse before she walked herself inside once again. This time, even the pill furnace had toppled over.

Seeing that, a corner of her mouth twitched. Fortunately the things she had scammed off the Hell's Lord were top quality items. Otherwise, it was thought that they would have been reduced to scrap under all this abuse.

Her next attempt already stretched all the way into evening, and almost an entire day had passed but she still had not been able to successfully cultivate a complete elixir. She had also wasted a great amount of spirit herbs which did not leave too much of a stock left in the space.

When Leng Shuang who had just come back into the manor heard that loud explosion, she paused in her steps. Seeing the guards and the servant girls looking calm and unaffected by it, she then turned to look towards the slightly more remote courtyard and thought to herself: [That couldn't be her Mistress refining pills right?]

Coming to the outside of the courtyard, she saw her Mistress choking till she had her back bent forward and her hands resting on knees as she coughed. She then went out to call out: "Mistress, I have returned." She had gone out to go to the black market today and as she had been held back with some matters, she had only come back now

"Leng Shuang? You came back just at the right time."

Feng Jiu then walked up to come just outside the doors where she then pulled out a prescription and a crystal card to hand over to her. "Go to the black market and get twenty portions of each and every spirit herb on this prescription. Get thirty portions for the one right at the top of the list, the Scarlet Red Grass. There's money in there, use that to go buy."

"Yes, Mistress." Leng Shuang did not question her but just speedily made her way back towards the black market.

What surprised everyone was her determination in challenging pill refining. After repeated and successive failures, she had tried again and again, never getting discouraged as she persisted, her heart only thinking that she did not believe she would not be able to succeed in cultivating a round of good grade pills!

Hence, she remained in the Alchemy Room for the entirety of three days and three nights.....

Chapter 295: Pill Refining Draws Lightning

"Father, say, the child Qing Ge has already been in there for three days and nights. Could anything have happened to her? Why not I go in to take a look?"

Feng Xiao said a little worriedly as he stood outside the courtyard's doors and was stopped from going in. Hence, he started to wonder what the situation was really like inside.

The Old Patriarch glanced at him and said: "Don't you see that even I am standing out here to wait? Little Feng has said that no one must go in to disturb her and she will come out on her own when she wants to. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Although that was what he said, but his eyes would occasionally turn to look towards the courtyard.

Saying that he was not anxious, he was not worried, that was all false. It had already been three days and nights and besides having Leng Shuang deliver some food to her, the lass had not gone back to rest at all. Would it really be okay for her to slog on like that?

Thinking about it, he then looked at Leng Shuang standing guard inside the courtyard and asked: "Will you go in to see again whether she will be coming out soon?"

However, Leng Shuang remained standing in her spot and said: "Mistress ordered me to stand guard here and without her summons, I am not to go inside to disturb her." Pausing a moment, she continued to say: "Old Master, Family Head, you should just go back first. It will be fine with me keeping guard here."

"Sigh! Alright then! If anything happens, you must inform us immediately." Old Patriarch Feng said and he turned around to walk away but saw Feng Xiao still standing there. He then called out: "Are we going? What are you standing there in a daze for? Is there anything to be worried about here in our own house?"

Feng Xiao looked at his father in speechlessness as he thought to himself: [He is obviously so worried himself and here is him admonishing me.]

But he did not continue to stay outside the courtyard but followed the Old Patriarch to leave.

Seeing the two men depart, Leng Shuang then retracted her gaze back and quietly kept guard, not allowing anyone to come close. After about two hours, she detected a strong scent of herbal fragrance wafting through the air. She was properly surprised as she turned to gaze towards the Alchemy Room.

[Has the Mistress succeeded?]

If it was concocting medicine, the smell of herbs would not be so thick nor tinged with such fresh fragrance. Moreover, the herbal fragrance caused one to perk up with vitality like the exhaustion was seeping out from the body completely. She was feeling very curious just what kind of effects the pill her Mistress had refinined would have.

In the Alchemy Room at that same moment, a filth covered Feng Jiu had her forehead bathed in perspiration as she held her breath to control the final moments of the flame for the elixir to form up. Although she could smell the herbal fragrance spreading into the air, she did not dare to be careless.

Until the final step after the pill took shape, did she then blew out a breath in relief, but was shocked by a sudden bolt of lightning that shot down from the sky.

'CRACKLE!'

The first bolt of lightning struck with a loud crackle down from the sky, piercing through the roof to fall upon the Elixir Furnace, which surprised her so much she jumped back quickly, to stare in stunned shock with her eyes widened.

"This..... This..... Pill Formation Draws Lightning?"

Her heart was in shock and feeling flustered as she looked up incredulously at the hole in the roof that had been struck by lightning. Through the hole, she could see the light of day and the blue of the sky with white clouds floating past, the sound of thunder still rumbling in the distance.

"Darn it! Lightning strike under such a clear sky that created such a loud commotion, it would surely have alerted people from all over!" She mumbled to herself, her mind quickly whirring.

'Crackle!'

At the moment the second bolt of lightning struck, it was just as Feng Jiu as said, the loud crack of lightning under such a clear sky had alerted the various powers in the Cloudy Moon City, including the ruler in the Imperial Palace who noticed it. No one sent their people out to investigate but went out on their own, summoning their Qi to leapt straight towards where the bolt of lightning had surged.

When the Old Patriarch in the Feng Residence heard the loud crack of lightning, the expression on his face had instantly changed. He was considered to be an old man who knew much about the ways of the world and he would naturally know how significant it was for something to be able to draw down lightning from the Heavens.

He immediately went striding with wide steps towards the Alchemy Room as he shouted out anxiously: "Feng Xiao! Feng Xiao! Guard the Feng Residence's main doors! Do not hesitate to kill anyone who seeks to barge their way in!"

Chapter 296: Extraordinary

Feng Xiao who heard the commotion from inside the manor naturally knew that something big has happened and was guessing that it was linked to her daughter's endless tinkering throughout the past few days without sleep. Hence, when he heard the Old Patriarch's loud shout, his imposing voice that was imbued with strong powerful mystical powers sounded out in the manor right after.

"All guards of the Feng Manor, hear my order! Guard the Feng Residence and do not let even a fly in!"

The hearts of all the guards jumped as they scrambled around within the manor, readying themselves for battle immediately as they acknowledged the order in the next instant. "Yes, Family Head!"

The resounding and powerful reply was filled with battle readiness as it rose up within the various courtyards of the Feng Residence. Some of the guards were already standing guard at the different courtyards, some of them patrolling the walkways. Some were watching around the pond, and there were also some hidden in the shadows.

But, when they heard the Old Patriarch's and Feng Xiao's voices, every single one of them sped over like warriors prepared for a bloodbath to the perimeter walls of the courtyards, to stop anyone from sneaking in over the manor's walls.

All the servants gathered under the steward's order to wait within the house. The stared in bewilderment and uncertainty at the black clouds swirling in the sky above the house, throwing down frightening thunder and lightning, their hearts filled with shock.

A bolt out of a clear sky. To think that they would actually see such a thing. Moreover, it seemed that it had something to do with the Young Miss?

Little Ball who had originally been lazily soaking up the gentle morning sunshine upon the miniature mountain immediately sat itself up straight when it saw the sudden bolt of lightning strike down from the Heavens. Humanlike astoundment appeared within its sharp and bloodthirsty eyes and it immediately picked up its legs to go running towards the courtyard.

[Drawing lightning bolts down from the Heavens on a clear day like this? What has that woman been up to?]

Not just Little Ball had rushed itself over there, even Old White who had been attempting to crawl under the servant girls' skirts had raised it head up and looked up into the sky. It sniffed at the air and immediately went running straight towards the courtyard as well.

'CRACKLE!'

With the fall of the third Heavenly lightning strike, the swirling and rolling black clouds in the sky then dispersed away, and calm seemingly resumed back in the Feng Residence for a moment, but everyone knew that the problems had just begun.

Because the people who had come rushing from various sides out there were gathering outside the Feng Residence's main doors one after another in succession, some shocked, some astounded, some bewildered, some incredulous as they stared upon the tightly shut doors of the Feng Residence.

[A bolt out of the blue, and it was three Heavenly strikes at that! What has happened within the Feng Residence?]

Everyone was eager to know, but the Feng Residence was afterall not just an ordinary family. With the Feng Residence's main doors shut, however curious they might be, they would not dare to barge their way in without the owner's permission.

"What would you say happened in the Feng Residence? Why had it drawn down bolts from the Heavens?"

"Who knows? The Feng Residence has their doors tightly shut. Who would dare to go knock on their doors at a time like this?"

"Even if you knock, they will not tell you. But I'm really very curious what has happened in there?"

"Look there! Isn't that the ruler? He actually came here personally himself!" One of the Family Heads exclaimed in a low voice, causing everyone to turn towards the figure approaching fast.

Another Family Head looked deep in thought as he said: "Even the country's ruler has personally come, you can see just how grave a matter this is. I think the doors of the Feng Residence will definitely open."

"Mm. I agree. We might not be able to get into the Feng Residence, but the ruler will definitely be able to go in."

Among everyone's low whispers, the ruler Murong Bo tapped the tip of his feet to soar up onto the roof of a restaurant. Although he was unable to see the situation within the courtyard, but it could be ascertained that the three lightning bolts from the Heavens had indeed been drawn here by the Feng Residence.

The incisive gaze flashed with a grim glint and standing straight backed with his hands behind his back, with a tap of the tip of his feet, he came right before the Feng Residence and knocked upon the tightly shut doors.....

Chapter 297: Elixir Formed

"Who is knocking on the door! ?"

A deep and authoritative voice came out from behind the doors. That was Feng Xiao's voice, stalwart and authoritative.

"Feng Xiao, open the door."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Murong Bo's similarly deep and majestic voice then sounded. His voice was tinged with imposing power, the tone naturally commanding the moment he spoke.

When he heard that voice coming in from outside, Feng Xiao who was seated steadily behind the doors on the inside with a large blade clasped in hand immediately had his brows furrowed together, the imposing expression on his face sinking slightly. He hesitated for a moment, and his stalwart voice sounded out, tinted with apology.

"My Ruler, please forgive your vassal for not being able to comply."

When Murong Bo outside the doors heard those words, his brows knitted up and the humiliation turned to rage. As the ruler of the country coming here personally up to their doors, he was to be spurned like this?

Not just Murong Bo was feeling a little humiliated, but everyone who had crowded just a distance away to watch and had not come forward were all showing faces of shock.

[Who would have thought! ?]

[To think that Feng Xiao would actually dare to refuse the Ruler and keep him standing outside? Isn't he being too audacious? It must be known that the Feng Residence was not really the same as Family Clans like them. Besides being the Family Head of the Feng Residence, Feng Xiao was also a Great General of the Sun Glory Country, a subordinate of Murong Bo. This outright refusal to obey orders, could possibly bring severe consequences.]

"Feng Xiao! Do you know what you are saying?" Murong Bo said, his face darkening, and his voice turning slightly chill with rage.

Just as the air before the Feng Residence's main doors was congealing, to become tense and dangerous, Feng Jiu was opening the pill furnace in the Alchemy Room. When she saw the three dark red pills inside, a smile of delight and excitement that came from deep in her heart showed on her face.

She succeeded!

Without guidance or instruction from anyone, she had based it only on her experience and understanding of Medicine, relying only on the simple steps and explanations depicted in the manual, to decipher the way to refine pills. After spending three days and three nights and after wasting quite a lot of spirit herbs, she had finally succeeded!

She took the three pills out and put them on the table at the side to look at them carefully. She saw the spirit energy swirling upon the pills, and five grain lines upon the tiny pill, clear and distinct.

"It's five grain lines indeed. Little wonder it drew down Heavenly lightning to temper the pillss."

She said to herself in realization, as her heart filled up with surprise as she saw the grain lines on the pills. She had not thought that her first batch of pills would be of such a high level. It was recorded in the book that only pills with five grain lines and above would draw in Heavenly lightning.

Not to mention that this was in the ninth grade Sun Glory Country. Even if it was in the sixth grade Green Gallop Country, it would not be easy to find a pill that possessed five grain lines.

"This is great! I did not lose out after having wasted all those magical herbs."

With a slight smile, she took out three bottles and put those three elixirs into each bottle separately. She stored them in the space and also kept the elixir furnace away before she walked out from the Alchemy Room.

When she came out of the courtyard, Old Patriarch Feng who had been watching outside immediately asked when he saw her: "Little Feng? You succeeded with your alchemy? Those three strikes of Heavenly thunder have alerted everyone. Even the Ruler has come running here. Your Father is guarding the main doors but I fear he would not be able to hold it much longer."

Hearing those words, Feng Jiu's eyes flashed briefly as she walked over to the Old Patriarch. She then turned around and said to Leng Shuang: "Go clean up the place inside."

"Yes, Mistress." Leng Shuang acknowledged, before she went walking towards the Alchemy Room.

"Grandfather, don't worry. It will be fine. With the Feng Residence's fame, no one will dare barge their way in forcefully."

Feng Jiu reassured her grandfather in a soft voice and showing him a smile as she came to his side. "Although I spent quite a bit of time on it, I have succeeded in refining those pills. I have not been thorough enough with my thoughts into the matter. I had not expected that the first batch of pills I refine would draw down Heavenly lightning and it really shocked me."

Chapter 298: Curiosity Killed the Cat

Hearing those words, the Old Patriarch's eyes lit up, so excited was he that his voice trembled as he said: "I've heard that only pills with five grain lines and above would draw down lightning from the Heavens! Your..... your pills possess five grain lines! ?"

"Mm. They are indeed five grain lined Transformation Pills."

Feng Jiu replied with a smile as she looked at her excited grandfather. "Grandfather, you should go up front to watch over things. I'll go back to wash up a little and change my clothes first before I'll come. Remind the servants to keep mum and even if the Ruler asks, tell them to not say anything."

Although the Old Patriarch did not know what kind of effects the Transformation pills had, but his heart was filled with absolute delight.

"What you've said is correct. With the reputation of the Feng Residence, those people outside would not dare to barge their way in. Even the Ruler would not bring himself down to the level of forcibly barging his way into a subordinate's home. Go on ahead to wash up and change! Grandfather will go to the front and see what the situation is."

He spoke hurriedly, and then readjusted his demeanor before he went walking out to the courtyard in the front of the house.

Seeing that, Feng Jiu similarly went walking to her courtyard, ordering people to prepare the bathwater.

At that moment, Murong Bo standing before the Feng Residence already had his rage risen to its peak. He had thought of kicking the Feng Residence's doors open or to go inside by leaping over the perimeter wall, but his position and pride would not allow him to commit such a low brow act. He could flick his sleeves and leave but could not swallow the indignation, hence, the atmosphere grew extremely tense.

And it was right at that moment that the tightly shut doors opened with a creak. Old Patriarch Feng was beaming with smiles while slightly apologetic as he came out in greeting while the grim faced Feng Xiao followed behind with his head slightly lowered, looking like he had just been admonished.

"Sigh! Blame it on this old man. This old man made Feng Xiao guard the door and told him to not let anyone come in, but I had not thought that the Ruler would also be alarmed, causing the Ruler to stand in wait outside the doors. How disrespectful we've been." Old Patriarch Feng prattled on with his hand clasped over his fist as he repeatedly bowed in apology, coming forward to welcome the Ruler, till he stood right in front of him.

"Ruler, please come inside at once." Old Patriarch Feng said as he stretched his hand out in invitation, his body tilted to the side to allow the Ruler to enter first.

Murong Bo's dark face cast a glance at Feng Xiao and with a sharp flick of his sleeves, he harrumphed loudly before he went striding his way inside.

When the people crowded around outside saw that scene, their expressions were greatly varied. Some of them jumped up forward, calling out to Old Patriarch Feng who was about to make his way inside.

"Old Patriarch please hold on for a while."

The Old Patriarch turned around and looked at the two middle aged men behind him. Seeing that it was two Family Heads from the several bigger family clans in the Cloudy Moon City, he put on a smile and asked: "Is there something the two Family Heads want?"

Hearing those words, the two men thought to themselves in their hearts: [Isn't that asking the obvious? Could he possibly be unaware of what they want?]

Though that might be the case, their faces did not show what they were thinking in the slightest but continued to smile and say: "It's like this. We saw three Heavenly lightning strikes that fell within the Feng Residence, we are wondering what could have drawn down those Heavenly strikes? Can the Old Patriarch disperse the curiosity in our hearts?"

Old Patriarch Feng halted his footsteps and he raised a hand to stroke at his beard as he looked at the two men. His gaze then moved over the crowd of people who had not come forward but were standing near enough to hear those words and waiting for his answer. He then put on a smile on his face and said a statement that stumped them all speechless.

"As people say, curiosity killed the cat. Our two gentlemen here are not that young anymore. It is better that you do not become curious about things that you shouldn't get curious about."

Seeing Old Patriarch Feng turn around and walk inside, the two Family Heads' faces flushed red, staring speechlessly as the Feng Residence's main doors slowly closed.....

When the crowd of people not far behind heard those words, their faces were ones of astoundment. They had not thought that the Old Patriarch would not even give the two Family Heads any face, and was so direct and harsh with his words. Afterall, those two Family Heads were quite highly regarded in the Cloudy Moon City as well!

Chapter 299: What Kind of a Explanation?

But thinking about it, when had the Feng Residence's position in the Cloudy Moon City been lower than any of the Family Clans and nobility?

When they thought about the might behind the Feng Residence, the two men who had been bottled up with anger felt their rage dissipate. When even the Ruler had been refused entry earlier to stand in front of their doors, what more them? But since the Ruler had gone inside, it was thought that whatever had drawn down the Heavenly thunderbolt should be made known to them very soon, hence, there was no need to rush it at that moment.

At that same moment inside the Feng Residence's main hall, the Ruler was seated upon the main seat with a grim face. Though he had not said a word, it was clear that his anger had not subsided.

"Ruler, please have some tea."

After the servant retreated after serving up tea, the Old Patriarch gestured invitingly, before he down on the secondary seat with Feng Xiao standing beside him, his head lowered.

Murong Bo glanced at the two men and with the expression on his face lightening, he picked up cup of tea and scraped back the tea leaves with its lid to take a sip before he said in a deep tone: "Speak! What is it about those three Heavenly thunderbolts?"

However, after he posed the question, he was met with a bout of silence in response. His brows pinched up as he drank his tea, his gaze turning upon Old Patriarch Feng, his eyes showing clear displeasure: "What? You can't tell me?"

The seated Old Patriarch Feng let out a soft sigh and said apologetically: "Ruler, this is a matter that really cannot be told as this old man doesn't even know how to put it in words."

Hearing that, Murng Bo's lightened expression darkened once again, his gaze turning sharp and imposing as it swept over the figures of Old Patriarch Feng and Feng Xiao.

"To have drawn down lightning from the Heavens, could the two of you be thinking that it is matter of little significance? For one's cultivation to draw down the Heavenly thunderbolt, one would need to attain the Martial Emperor level before that will happen. Now that the Feng Residence drew down three strikes of the Heavenly thunderbolt which alarmed the entire Cloudy Moon City. So, shouldn't an explanation be given to your liege?"

'I wonder what kind of an explanation does the Ruler want from us?"

A light leisurely voice tinged with an ounce of indifference reached them, alleviating the tense atmosphere within the main hall.

Murong Bo looked over towards the source of the voice and saw Feng Qing Ge dressed in full white walking in with graceful steps, an air of pure elegance around her, her countenance exquisitely beautiful, thinking that it was little wonder that his most outstanding son's heart had fallen for her.

Old Patriarch Feng saw her appear and did not say another word but just sat there with his eyes lowered to sip at his tea, seeming to hand the floor entirely over to Feng Jiu, for her to deal with the situation.

Seeing that, Feng Xiao's lips moved, but did not speak and just imitated his father to play dead.

Walking slowly into the main hall, Feng Jiu perfunctorily offered up a bow and then stood there quietly to look at the seated Murong Bo who had occupied the family host's main seat.

It might be because he had always assumed the superior position for so long, and had too often always taken the lead over things, and was too used to using an ordering tone to relay his wishes. Like this matter about her having drawn down the three Heavenly thunderbolts. If it had been anyone else, no one would dare to question them about it at all, as it was the Feng Residence's own business. If they chose to not say anything, who could do anything about it?

When Murong Bo heard her words, his brows knitted up and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by that? Your liege came here because of the three Heavenly thunderbolts and you will just need to tell your liege truthfully, how those three Heavenly thunderbolts came about and that will do! There's no need to utter so much garbage!"

Feng Jiu smiled and then asked: "Dare I ask the Ruler, it's just three thunderclaps that sounded on this day. Why is it made out as if it's something so serious? Those three thunderclaps did not kill anyone, nor did it cause the mountains or lands to split. Having just three thunderclaps sound out in our Feng Residence's backyard and the Feng Residence is now expected to give an explanation? What kind of an explanation should we give?"

Chapter 300: Leave With An Angry Flick Of The Sleeves

Hearing that, Murong Bo's sharp gaze turned chill as it swept over her before turning to look at Feng Xiao where he said with a deep bellow: "Feng Xiao!"

That call of Feng Xiao was imbued with the dominance of a powerful pugilist and delivered with a conqueror's vigor, feeling as if the moment his voice sounded, a visible surge of mystical Qi swept through the hall, exceptionally oppressive, which made Feng Xiao who had been trying his hardest to minimize his presence to have no choice but to come walking forward.

"Your vassal's present."

Murong Bo was not able to blow his top at Old Patriarch Feng as he was the Feng Residence's Old Patriarch. Even though he was the Ruler of the country, he had to abide by the ancient teachings of deferring a certain level of respect as Old Patriarch Feng was an elder that was of his father's generation and hence if he was to throw a rage, he could not direct the rage upon the old man.

As for Feng Qing Ge, she was merely Feng Xiao's daughter, and the Feng Residence's Eldest Miss. Firstly, she was not his subordinate, and secondly, neither was she his daughter in law. Moreover, she was from the junior generation so instead of getting angry with her, he would very much rather question Feng Xiao directly.

He glanced at Feng Xiao who was bowing respectfully and he went on to directly ask: "What is going on with those three Heavenly thunderbolts?"

"About that....."

Feng Xiao raised his head and glanced up at Murong Bo before he shook his head in bewilderment. "Your vassal does not know what happened."

He really did not know. When he ran out upon hearing the thunderbolt, he immediately heard the Old Patriarch's orders. So how could he know what was going on with the Heavenly thunderbolt?

But, it was still his Family Clan's affair afterall and it must have something to do with his daughter. Hence, even if he knew, he would still have to say he did not not anything.

His belly already brewing with rage, when Murong Bo heard that answer, he immediately placed the teacup he held in his hand heavily down onto the table and shot to his feet. His face dark, he then flicked his sleeves before he left, without saying another word.

His unexpected actions caused the three people in the hall to be slightly taken aback, but they did not say anything as they watched his leave.

"Qing Ge, what exactly happened? What are you fiddling around with in that room? How did it draw lightning down from the Heavens?" Feng Xiao asked, a few vague guess in mind but he could not be certain.

There were only three situations that would draw a thunderbolt down from the Heavens. The first instance being when exceptional treasures descend from the Heavens, the second would be when one's cultivation advanced in their levels, and the third was when cultivated elixirs turned out to become very precious. But all three scenarios were just too incredible from his point of view and hence, his mind was one of bewilderment.

"Leng Shaung, guard the doors into the hall. Do not allow anyone to come close." Feng Jiu ordered.

"Yes." Leng Shuang answered from outside, taking up guard in front of the door.

Seeing that, Feng Xiao could not help but become excited as he looked at his daughter whose face was showing a joyous smile, feeling that the guess he held in his heart was about to be verified, and he was a little nervous, a little excited.

"Grandfather, Father, the two of you take a seat." Feng Jiu indicated as she pulled the slightly dazed Feng Xiao and pushed him down onto his seat. She then pulled a chair in for herself as she sat herself in between the two men. Next, she pulled a bottle out from the space and poured the pill inside out onto her palm.

"Look at this. This is the Transformation Pill. Five grain lines. This was what drew down the Heavenly thunderbolts."

Even having lived to such a ripe old age, this was the first time Old Patriarch Feng was seeing a pill with five grain lines, and it was refined by his very own granddaughter! At that moment, he was feeling as if the blood in his body was boiling, becoming so excited that his face flushed red, and his hands were shaking slightly.

"Good good good! Little Feng, you've really made Grandfather very proud!"

Comparing the two, the Old Patriarch was at least still able to speak. Feng Xiao was completely stunned into a daze, his mind gone blank. His eyes were staring wide as he felt a gush of blood shoot up into his head and the next moment, his entire person fell into a dead faint from over excitement.

Feng Jiu cried out in shock: "Father?"
