The Feng Family

Outside the blessed Land

He Feng Yang stood in anticipation, keenly observing the entrance for any signs of Fang Yuan's response or any opportunity to enter the blessed land if Fang Yuan showed even the slightest lapse in vigilance.

Suddenly, a small hole appeared, and two Gu worms shot out rapidly, heading directly toward He Feng Yang. Before he could react, the hole closed swiftly, leaving no trace of its presence.

He Feng Yang's eyes narrowed as he examined the Gu worms. His expression darkened with recognition. "Sky Crane?" he muttered, realizing that one of the Gu worms was the one containing his follower's soul.

He Feng Yang activated the communication function of the Gu worm and demanded sternly, "Sky Crane, explain what has happened there. What happened inside the blessed land?"

...

Central Continent, at Spirit Affinity House

Feng Jiu Ge sat with his wife, Fairy Bai Qing, and daughter, Feng Jin Huang, sipping tea. His usual composed expression softened into a smile as he spoke, "You've finally calmed down, Feng'er."

"Yes, Father," Feng Jin Huang replied, her voice steady and serene, as if the impulsive outbursts of before had never existed. "I've come to realize I was overthinking the situation too much."

Feng Jiu Ge nodded approvingly, a trace of pride in his eyes. "Good. And to settle things, I've sent Fang Yuan a challenge letter."

He paused for a moment, smiling slightly, as if savoring the words he was about to say next. "He's already replied."

Feng Jin Huang and Fairy Bai Qing both leaned forward, curious to hear the contents of Fang Yuan's reply. Feng Jin Huang, in particular, was already guessing that it might be an apology or perhaps even a surrender in response to the challenge.

But the next moment, Feng Jiu Ge's expression shifted abruptly. His face darkened as he read the letter, his eyes widening in disbelief. He remained speechless, staring at the Letter Green Bird Gu in his hands as if unsure how anyone could have written such words.

Seeing his reaction, both Feng Jin Huang and Fairy Bai Qing grew more curious. Fairy Bai Qing asked cautiously, "Husband, what was written in the letter?"

Feng Jiu Ge stayed silent for a moment, as if struggling to find the words, then handed the letter to his wife, deciding it was better for them to read it themselves.

Feng Jin Huang and Fairy Bai Qing read through the letter together, their expressions shifting from curiosity to disbelief:

"Feng Jiu Ge, I, Fang Yuan, have admired your name for a long time.

I have read your message, and I feel deeply wronged.

Firstly, the blessed land was won through fair and rightful means.

Secondly, regarding the situation with Miss Feng Jin Huang:

The person responsible for the situation is none other than Miss Feng Jin Huang herself.

She has been shamelessly staring at my body and my private belongings.

Sometimes, I feel I have no face left to meet anyone anymore after her actions.

I was a pure man, and no woman had ever behaved this way toward me before.

Though it may seem trivial to Miss Feng, it concerns my body, which I have always protected.

Therefore, I demand that Miss Feng Jin Huang take responsibility for her actions.

She must take responsibility for me, or I will have no will to live any longer."

...

The silence that followed was deafening. The Feng family sat in stunned disbelief, unable to process what they had just read.

Feng Jin Huang's face flushed bright red in utter outrage. "W-What?!" she stammered, her voice shaking. "That shameless demon! How could he… how could he twist things like this?"

Her indignation quickly turned to fury. Feng Jin Huang stood up abruptly, her hands clenched into fists. "Father! I won't let this go! I'll personally go to Fang Yuan and make him pay for this insult!"

Fairy Bai Qing, seeing her daughter's rage, gently tugged at Feng Jin Huang's sleeve, trying to calm her down. "Feng'er, don't let him provoke you like this. Can't you see? This is exactly what he wants. He's playing with your emotions." She gave a soft chuckle, her lips curving into a wry smile. "Perhaps… he's trying to marry into our family."

"What?!" Feng Jin Huang's eyes widened in shock. "Mother, no! I would never allow that! He's a vile demon! I'll kill him with my own hands before that ever happens!"

Fairy Bai Qing shook her head, maintaining her calm demeanor. "That's exactly what he's hoping for, Feng'er. He wants to draw you out. Be careful—this man is far more dangerous than he seems."

Feng Jiu Ge, who had remained silent throughout, finally raised his hand, signaling for quiet. His face was as composed as ever, but there was a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Enough, Feng'er. Fang Yuan is not someone to be taken lightly. You'll stay put until we've fully investigated him."

His voice grew colder as he continued, "But now I see his true nature. If he believes he can toy with us, he's sorely mistaken. It's only a pity that he's not yet an immortal. If he were, I would have gone to deal with him myself."

Fairy Bai Qing's eyes flickered with concern. "Husband, what do you plan to do?"

Feng Jiu Ge's lips curled into a slight smirk, his voice steady. "While I can't deal with Fang Yuan directly yet, I can certainly send a message to his sect's immortals. Like He Feng Yang… those who stand behind Fang Yuan. They think they can shelter him, but they'll learn the hard way not to mess with our family."

(Poor He Feng Yang)

Fairy Bai Qing nodded thoughtfully. "It's true. If Fang Yuan is under the Immortal Crane Sect's protection, then his actions reflect poorly on them. Making an example of their immortals would send a clear message."

Feng Jin Huang, still seething with anger, reluctantly sat down, though her resolve hadn't wavered. "Father, when the time comes… I want to deal with Fang Yuan myself"

(Poor Feng Jin Huang.)

Feng Jiu Ge gave her a reassuring look, his voice calm yet firm. "Don't worry, Feng'er. Fang Yuan isn't a problem."

He took a sip of tea, his expression unshaken. "No matter what heights he reaches in the future, I will easily crush him if the time comes."

(Poor Feng Jiu Ge.)
