C9 She Wanted to Take Revenge
The sensation made her want to jump up, yet it was so overwhelming that she let out a soft, cat-like meow, almost like a moan. Instantly, she clamped her mouth shut. Divine Sovereign Fengming paused for a moment, then continued chanting those complex, mysterious incantations. Gradually, Feng Qingchen found she could manage without the Sovereign's guidance. She repeatedly channeled her energy through her body, dissipating the intense heat. As the heat resurfaced from deep within her energy pathways, she continued to smooth it out... She felt her spiritual force growing stronger by the moment... That tingling sensation gradually weakened... No longer hearing any sounds around her, she sat quietly like a small statue on the cold jade bed, meditating, her three tails spread out behind her, creating a rather charming sight.
When she finally opened her eyes, she had no idea how many days had passed. Her eyes, once calm and clear like a tranquil lake, now occasionally flickered with a captivating shade of purple. Feng Qingchen exhaled deeply, feeling a surge of excitement. She had actually made it through, gaining the power of five centuries. However, despite possessing this power, she felt like a guardian of a treasure trove—holding the key but unsure how to use it.
She had no idea how to draw spells or wield any magical power. Well, she figured she could learn all that later through proper training.
The room was a quiet sanctuary, empty except for a cold jade bed. Stepping outside, a crescent moon hung in the sky, surrounded by twinkling stars, with not a cloud in sight. It wasn't a dark and stormy night, but it felt like a perfect time for something big.
Feng Qingchen initially planned to head straight down the mountain, but she hesitated. The so-called Divine Sovereign Fengming had toyed with her, and since he hadn't locked her up, she figured if she failed tonight, she could always try again tomorrow.
With her mind made up, Feng Qingchen followed the scent of the Divine Sovereign. As she entered a courtyard, a shadow flickered, and someone appeared before her. The person seemed ready to scold her but froze in disbelief upon seeing her.
The Divine Sovereign had mentioned that if one encountered a three-tailed creature, unless it was heading to some forbidden place, it was best not to interfere. But this was a fox cat...
Seeing the person didn't stop her, Feng Qingchen turned her head and walked straight into the house. The person hesitated, seeming to want to intervene but held back.
The Divine Sovereign was known for his cleanliness, and no one dared to enter his quarters, but...
Feng Qingchen cautiously stepped inside. The moonlight was particularly bright that night, streaming through the windows and illuminating the room.
The moonlight spilled gently over the Divine Sovereign Fengming, casting a soft glow that contrasted with his commanding presence during the day. As he lay asleep, a slight smile played on his lips, as if he were dreaming something pleasant.
Feng Qingchen looked at his face, feeling a surge of frustration. Unable to resist, she leaned in and playfully nipped at his little finger. His face was too strikingly handsome for her to muster the will to bite harder.
"That's what you get for messing with me!" she muttered.
Fengming's long lashes fluttered, hinting that he might wake up. Without hesitation, Qingchen pressed a pressure point, sending him into a deeper slumber. Emboldened, she continued her playful biting.
Despite her sharp claws, her teeth were small, and after a while, she only managed to make a tiny mark. To her astonishment, the mark vanished almost instantly, healing faster than she could inflict it. She was left both amazed and slightly disheartened by the experience.
