C7 She Was Very Calm and Strange

The wolves were larger than normal, forming a circle around them, their eyes filled with uncertainty and fear, clearly intimidated by the powerful figure within. She even suspected that he had summoned these wolves just to scare her—and maybe to snag a free fish meal.

Feng Qingchen clenched her small paws, suppressing her rising anger, and suddenly smiled. "If that's the case, I'll go with you. But first, you need to give me that divine pill."

Her tone was as calm as if she were discussing the weather.

This surprised him, as she often seemed on the verge of losing her temper, yet always held it in, her expression unchanged. What she didn't realize was that her tail would puff up repeatedly, softening his heart each time.

However, Divine Sovereign Fengming was straightforward. With a faint flash of white light in his hand, a crystal-clear pill appeared.

"Come here."

Feng Qingchen jumped onto his hand, sniffed the pill cautiously, and, finding no strange odor, swallowed it. Although she knew he could easily harm her with a flick of his finger, given his recent behavior, she doubted his integrity.

"Do you understand medicine?" Divine Sovereign Fengming asked calmly.

"Uh, not really... just wondering if it's still good after five hundred years," Feng Qingchen yawned, nestled in the hands of Divine Sovereign Fengming, drowsy and ready to sleep.

In her current form as a kitten, being sleepy was no surprise. She briefly closed her eyes, masking the coldness within them.

"This five hundred years of power isn't just about sitting around for five hundred years," Divine Sovereign Fengming chuckled, not bothering to explain further. He ascended into the clouds, and the tables and chairs on the ground vanished without a trace.

Phoenix Vast Palace sat atop Wind Coming Mountain, a peak so high it was said to be surrounded by clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura, a place for the divine. Even at the mountain's base, mist would rise at regular intervals, and without caution, one could easily lose their way. Although not as perilous as the forest of mythical beasts, wandering endlessly could lead to exhaustion.

Thus, while the place was breathtakingly beautiful, few dared to venture there. To the world, it remained a mysterious existence.

Especially today, when Divine Sovereign Fengming, in an unusually good mood, summoned a golden phoenix. With a long, resounding cry, it soared into the sky. Many cultivators, with keen eyesight, witnessed the golden phoenix landing on Wind Coming Mountain.

"Divine Sovereign." Along the way, many young men in white robes respectfully greeted Divine Sovereign Fengming. Feng Qingchen noticed that they didn't dare to lift their heads, almost certain they were cursing Divine Sovereign Fengming behind his back. After all, Fengming's convoluted personality had tricked her twice. Once, she ended up cooking six fish for him without tasting a single bite herself, forced to hand them over with a smile. The second time, he summoned a pack of wolves to scare her, yet she still had to follow him. Thinking about it made Feng Qingchen grind her teeth. Perhaps it was the change in her circumstances, but she just wanted to bite him hard.

Divine Sovereign Fengming maintained a cold and aloof demeanor, his face as expressive as a painting. Phoenix Vast Palace was a mansion that exuded opulence everywhere you looked. It wasn't quite a crystal palace with glazed tiles, but it wasn't far off.
