Yuan Jue's eyes, hidden in the black mist, suddenly turned blood red!
This Feng Jin'er is actually willing to sacrifice Feng Fei for herself and her so-called son! Isn't Feng Fei her child too?
"Feng Fei is your daughter!" If Yuan Jue didn't suppress his anger, he feared he would kill Feng Jin'er at any moment, but at this moment he wanted to seek some justice for Feng Fei!
"Yes, Fengfei is indeed my daughter, but she is not the child of me and my beloved, so she is not my real child. I only have one child, and that is the son born to me and my beloved!"
Feng Jin'er's words were surprisingly righteous at this moment.
Even Mingfeng and Xuetuan were about to lose their temper.
But at that moment, Yuan Jue, who was furious, suddenly calmed down.
Since she's so eager to find her son, then let her never find him! Since she shows such disregard for Feng Fei, then don't blame him for being ruthless!
Yuan Jue suddenly laughed and softly uttered the words "Make a move".
Before the words were finished, the black mist formed by Yuan Jue instantly enveloped Ming Feng's flames, and Xue Tuan silently slipped in. Xue Tuan and Ming Feng were merging, trying to form a special spiritual power to awaken Feng Fei—Feng Jin'er had discovered during her cultivation that she had no spiritual power within her body; it seemed that the spiritual power belonging to Feng Fei had completely disappeared when she entered Feng Fei's body. Because of this, Feng Jin'er, while using Feng Fei's body, was cultivating only fire-attribute spiritual power.
Feng Jin'er, who had been relaxed, suddenly changed her expression when she sensed the earth-shattering spiritual energy ripples.
"What is this?!" Feng Jin'er demanded sharply, but the panic in her voice was impossible to conceal. Mingfeng's aura had suddenly changed, transforming into an invincible and noble presence. Her spiritual power was completely suppressed and retreated within this aura. She even discovered that the black seal within her body had begun to crack. At this moment, she was truly terrified!
"Let me go! If I die, Feng Fei will never forgive you!"
Yuan Jue and his two companions completely ignored Feng Jin'er's threats. Perhaps they did care, but what they cared about even more was Feng Fei's life. And it was precisely because of this that Feng Jin'er was destined for tragedy.
The fusion between Xue Tuan and Ming Feng accelerated rapidly, and jade-gold spiritual energy surged around them. The vast spiritual energy here constantly replenished their energy, and in the process of continuous consumption and replenishment, both of their cultivation levels showed a noticeable increase.
Feng Jin'er continued to scream hoarsely, her fear growing stronger: the black seal within her body had transformed into specks of starlight, its spirituality completely extinguished. The snake-bone whip at her waist, imbued with the spirit of the black seal, had been completely tamed—it would now also be a magical weapon that Feng Fei could wield.
Just as Feng Jin'er was becoming increasingly desperate, Yuan Jue suddenly appeared in front of her.
Yuan Jue smiled wickedly, his right index finger touching Feng Jin'er's brow. Feng Jin'er's face immediately went blank, and her eyes slowly lost all their color. Yuan Jue's right hand slowly withdrew from Feng Fei's brow, the movement extremely slow and heavy, as if engaged in a difficult tug-of-war with Feng Jin'er within. But Feng Jin'er was ultimately a rootless duckweed, and was eventually pulled from Feng Fei's body by Yuan Jue.
Yuan Jue's face immediately turned pale, and he staggered a few steps out of the spiritual energy circle formed by Xue Tuan and Ming Feng.
Xue Tuan and Ming Feng did not stop. During this time, although Feng Jin'er had not completely taken over Feng Fei's body, she had still severely damaged Feng Fei's soul, even causing all the spiritual power in his body to retreat into his flesh and blood. What Xue Tuan and Ming Feng needed to do next was to slowly guide the spiritual power in Feng Fei's body. This was not difficult for the two of them, after all, it was not the first time they had done this.
Yuan Jue stepped aside. He trusted Xue Tuan and Ming Feng completely, and now was not a dangerous time.
Now we need to deal with someone!
A strange light flashed in Yuan Jue's eyes. He slowly raised his right hand, and Feng Jin'er, whom he had pulled away, condensed into a black bead on his right index finger. Feng Jin'er's consciousness continuously assaulted his sea of consciousness. But all of this was in vain; it seemed that Feng Jin'er was unaware of her predicament.
"If I were you, I would behave myself. If this continues, you'll definitely be the one who doesn't get the approval you deserve."
Yuan Jue gave a faint threat, which immediately stopped Feng Jin'er from doing anything.
"Let me go!"
"Do you think that's possible?" Yuan Jue chuckled. "But don't worry, I won't deal with you right now. I want you to watch me destroy your son with my own hands!"
At this moment, Yuan Jue's true nature was revealed—this was the kind of person he was, and if it weren't for Feng Fei, he would never have been a kind-hearted person.
Chapter Seventeen: The Madman
Perhaps Yuan Jue's threat had an effect, because Feng Jin'er did not react anymore and instead fell silent.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Jue's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
At this moment, Feng Fei, Xue Tuan, and Ming Feng also reached a critical moment. Although it seemed safe here, Yuan Jue did not let his guard down.
The spiritual energy within Feng Fei's body rapidly responded to the spiritual energy formed by Xue Tuan and Ming Feng. Xue Tuan even tried her best to communicate with Feng Fei, who was being suppressed to the extreme by Feng Jin'er, through her consciousness. At first, all of Xue Tuan's calls were like stones sinking into the sea, without any ripples. But gradually, Xue Tuan was pleasantly surprised to find that Feng Fei had begun to respond to her faintly. Her ecstasy did not stop Xue Tuan's efforts; instead, she tried even harder to call out to Feng Fei. This concerned Feng Fei's future life or death, and she would not be careless.
Because Mingfeng's inner energy and spiritual power were perfectly integrated with Xuetuan's, he also sensed a trace of Fengfei's aura, which caused a slight fluctuation on his face—the same surprise, which made Mingfeng call out to Fengfei with even greater effort.
Although Yuan Jue, who had been on guard the whole time, could not see the facial expressions of Xue Tuan and Ming Feng, he was constantly paying attention to their auras, and even more so to Feng Fei's aura. Therefore, when Feng Fei responded, he immediately sensed it.
Yuan Jue almost wept with joy. Since the Demon Cave, he had been separated from Feng Fei, enduring torment. No matter what he tried, he couldn't find Feng Fei's whereabouts, or even whether Feng Fei was alive or dead. Then, in Warrior Town, he saw the Feng Fei he had longed for, only to discover that his Feng Fei had been violated! This enraged him. If reason hadn't told him that it wasn't the best time to act, he probably would have directly killed Feng Jin'er inside Feng Fei! But if he had, Feng Fei's progress would have been cut short, and he would never have been able to improve again. Perhaps Feng Jin'er, in the process of leaving his body, would have used all her strength to make Feng Fei mentally impaired—none of which he wanted. So, he endured and planned. There were truly few things in this world that could stump him!
Just as he had planned, he successfully and perfectly separated Feng Jin'er from Feng Fei's body. Xue Tuan and Ming Feng also successfully and gradually awakened Feng Fei. If Feng Fei hadn't not yet fully awakened, and if he hadn't feared that his reckless actions would render all his efforts futile, Yuan Jue would have stopped in his tracks, waiting for Feng Fei to fully awaken.
But at that moment, the air around Yuan Jue suddenly twisted, and a faint figure slowly materialized.
Yuan Jue showed no sign of nervousness, and looked at the newcomer, saying softly, "Is it you?"
The newcomer remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh. The voice, so familiar to both Mingfeng and Xuetuan, was deep and resonant: "It's me. But how did you know it was me?"
"Would you believe me if I said I was just guessing?"
"Of course I believe it."
Yuan Jue seemed surprised by the visitor's response, raising an eyebrow at him in astonishment, but said nothing more.
The visitor was at a loss for words, and the entire cave fell silent.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the newcomer seemed unable to contain his inner turmoil. His voice, though flat, carried a barely perceptible hint of anxiety: "Why aren't you asking anymore?"
"What else is there to ask? I've already guessed all the suspicious points."
Perhaps it was Yuan Jue's indifferent reply that angered the newcomer, for he suddenly appeared before Yuan Jue, his delicate and smooth face flushed with rage: "What did you guess? You guessed that I am Sui Yu? You guessed that I am the Lord of the Pavilion? You guessed that I am the mysterious person who saved that guy?"
Shui Yichen's right index finger trembled slightly as it pointed in the direction of Xue Tuan and Ming Feng, as if he was extremely angry!
"Why did you bring these people here after I told you about this place? Was it because of that woman? Was it because of that woman that you rejected me at one point?"
“That’s not it.” Yuan Jue waved his hand dismissively. “You know, you were a man before, and you didn’t have any feminine aura at all.”
Shui Yichen's eyes suddenly lit up with wild joy: "So you mean if I had been a woman from the beginning, you wouldn't have rejected me?"
Without waiting for Yuan Jue's reaction, she revealed her true form. This form was that of Sui Yu, only with a more mature and alluring quality than the innocent and charming Sui Yu.
Shui Yichen looked at Yuan Jue with a delicate and charming expression, hoping he would say "yes." But things don't change just because of one's own subjective wishes.
Shui Yichen watched in despair as Yuan Jue slowly shook his head, then covered her ears and frantically retreated. She didn't want to hear the words of rejection Yuan Jue was about to utter. She didn't want to hear them!
Yuan Jue felt a little embarrassed seeing Shui Yichen's expression. However, his heart had already been completely filled by Feng Fei without him even realizing it. The other women were like phantoms; they were nice to look at and admire, but if he were to take them seriously, even those phantoms couldn't deceive him!
Shui Yichen huddled in a corner, sobbing softly, so fragile that one longed to hold her in one's arms and cherish her tenderly.
But this person was clearly not Yuan Jue. At this moment, all of Yuan Jue's attention was focused on Xue Tuan and Ming Feng; Feng Fei's awakening had reached the most crucial final moment.
Meanwhile, Shui Yichen, who had been sobbing softly, slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with a blood-red killing intent. Her fists, which had been wrapped around her knees, slowly clenched.
Shui Yichen murmured softly, his eyes growing increasingly fierce and cruel.
If you listen carefully, you will surely hear Shui Yichen saying something like, "Since you value it so much, then just destroy it."
Yuan Jue spread all his divine sense throughout the cave, but focused more on Feng Fei. Shui Yichen's low murmur naturally did not escape Yuan Jue's ears.
Yuan Jue's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "If I were you, I wouldn't act rashly."
Ignoring Yuan Jue's warning, Shui Yichen suddenly stood up, and a burst of intense light erupted from her body. At this moment, Shui Yichen's limbs began to slowly melt away, and gradually her entire body dissolved, leaving only a head with a gentle smile on its face, softly looking at Yuan Jue: "Because you are not me, I will definitely take action!"
As he spoke, Shui Yichen vanished completely.
All of this happened too fast, so fast that even Yuanjue couldn't stop it.
The blinding light nearly pierced Yuan Jue's eyes. In his dizziness, he clearly saw the beam of light, with an unwavering determination to die, hurtling straight toward Feng Fei. Xue Tuan and Ming Feng, already exhausted, collapsed to the ground, utterly unable to help Feng Fei, let alone reverse the tide.
"No--!"
"Sister Feifei—!"
The three screamed in extreme terror almost simultaneously, and they rushed forward without regard for their own safety.
But they all discovered with despair that they could not take another step forward beyond three zhang in front of Feng Fei, and the intense light finally knocked them all unconscious.
While Yuanjue and the other two were unconscious, various strange changes occurred in Feng Fei's body.
Within the intense light emanating from Shui Yichen, there were three colors: white, gray, and black. These three colors of light balanced each other on the other two sides, and one could vaguely see the innocent Shui Yichen, the charming Suiyu, and the mysterious Louzhu—these three lights and shadows actually represented the souls of these three people!
It turns out that Shui Yichen wasn't a single person. Shui Yichen, Suiyu, and Louzhu were originally triplets, but Suiyu and Louzhu, being the second and third children, died three months after birth due to congenital weakness. Their birth mother couldn't accept this reality. She was originally the Louzhu of Gentle Water Village, a Louzhu who initially had kind intentions. However, for the sake of her children, Shui Yichen's birth mother completely fell into depravity. She raised blood worms, captured any children who approached Gentle Water Village, and used their bodies as test subjects, trying to create a body capable of housing three souls.
When Shui Yichen was three years old, her birth mother finally figured out this secret method, but it was extremely cruel: she had to whip Shui Yichen's tender body until it was covered in blood, and then throw Shui Yichen into a pot of boiling oil. Then she would pour a paste made from the bodies of blood worms into the oil, so that the originally charred body would gradually reveal the fair skin underneath.
At this point, she had completed more than half of the steps. If the final step succeeded, she would be able to have her three children coexist in one body!
Shui Yichen's birth mother preserved the souls of Suiyu and Louzhu within the bodies of various young children, using bloody and cruel methods to allow these souls to slowly grow within the other children's bodies. In other words, when Shui Yichen was three years old, the souls of Suiyu and Louzhu were also three years old.
Shui Yichen's birth mother also considered letting her child live directly in the bodies of other children, but she discovered in despair that the souls of Suiyu and Louzhu were too fragile, and the methods she used had exhausted all the potential of those children's bodies. Therefore, Suiyu and Louzhu could only survive in those children's bodies for one month.
Over the course of three years, Shui Yichen's birth mother had unjustly caused the deaths of countless children, yet she never stopped. Because of this, Shui Yunlou, finding her utterly depraved, left her side. However, he did not stop her actions either, as he too was heartbroken by the deaths of his two children. He harbored a sliver of hope that Shui Yichen's birth mother could truly bring his two daughters back, so he tacitly approved of her actions and made no attempt to expose her.
But in the end, Shui Yunlou discovered that Shui Yichen's birth mother was just a madwoman, and everything she did was to turn Shui Yichen into something neither human nor ghost. Because of this, Shui Yunlou was extremely cold towards Shui Yichen and showed him almost no concern whatsoever.
Chapter 18 Phoenix Six and Phoenix Nine
Although Shui Yunlou disapproved of Shui Yichen's mother's actions, his three children did indeed coexist within the same body. However, these three children had vastly different personalities. Shui Yichen was innocent and kind, completely trusting of everyone, and single-mindedly sought Shui Yunlou's approval. Suiyu, on the other hand, was spoiled and willful; if it weren't for Wan Niang in the gentle water village guiding her, she would likely have caused a great disaster long ago. And the Lord of the Water Village was the most sinister and terrifying, with extremely ruthless methods, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.
Shui Yichen, Suiyu, and Louzhu were all aware of the existence of the other two people, and they had agreed on who should control the body when they were young. Perhaps because the body originally belonged to Shui Yichen, Suiyu and Louzhu tacitly agreed that Shui Yichen had control during the day, while at night Suiyu and Louzhu took turns controlling it.
Originally, these three people with very different personalities all fell in love with Yuan Jue after Shui Yichen received his help. Even the kind-hearted Shui Yichen, under the long-term influence of Suiyu and the Lord, was extremely ashamed and indignant after being clearly rejected by Yuan Jue, and the three of them ended up doing this lose-lose thing.
Yuan Jue and the other two were completely unable to stop Shui Yichen's actions, and could only watch helplessly as the dazzling white light entered Feng Fei's body.
Feng Fei writhed in agony, his limbs outstretched, his body taut backward, his face contorted in pain, and low growls emanating from his mouth.
Yuan Jue, his eyes blazing with fury, disregarded everything else and charged towards Feng Fei. However, he was once again stopped a few feet in front of Feng Fei.
"etc……"
At this moment, Feng Fei was actually able to speak!
