C50 Preparing Things
His sitting posture was casual, but it couldn’t hide his domineering aura. His eyes were cold and arrogant, and it made people feel scared.
Behind him stood a man in grey clothes. The man was elegant and gentle. Even though he had a domineering aura, he still had an irreplaceable presence. It was so strong that people couldn’t ignore him.
Feng Yu walked closer and when she saw her, Beiming Chen’s dark eyes seemed to have a slight fluctuation. He quickly calmed down.
“Prince Chen, Young Master Ye, sorry for making you wait.”
Feng Yu smiled faintly. She was neither humble nor arrogant. Her tone was natural, and it seemed like the man in front of her wasn’t the only prince of the 19 princes of the Hao Yuan Empire who had been crowned. He was a friend that she had known for a long time.
Beiming Chen pursed his thin red lips and said calmly, “It’s fine.” He seemed to be answering Feng Yu, and then he said, “Ye Feng, take Miss Feng to sit.”
“Yes.” Ye Feng pulled a chair next to him and said, “Please sit, Miss Feng.”
“Thank you.”
Feng Yu didn’t refuse. She sat down politely and Ye Feng looked at the mask on Feng Yu’s face strangely. He quickly looked away.
He lowered his eyes and hid his thoughts.
This girl was really weird. Since she was wearing a mask, why didn’t she cover her face? Instead, she revealed half of her face with scars?
What was the other half of her face that was covered by the mask?
When he saw Feng Yu last night, she was wearing a half mask, so he didn’t know what the other half of her face was like. Naturally, he was curious.
Feng Yu didn’t seem to notice the probing of the night wind. She looked at the table and the dishes on it. The fragrance of the dishes made her drool.
Bei Mingchen looked away from Feng Yu and said to Ye Feng, “Ye Feng, pass the food.”
“Yes.”
Ye Feng ordered the guards outside and a few of them went in. A few exquisite dishes were served. Bei Mingchen picked up his chopsticks and said, “Miss, please.”
“Okay, please, Prince Chen.”
After Feng Yu finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks. All of her attention was focused on the delicious food in front of her. The chefs in the Duke Palace were definitely good. This was a rare opportunity, so she had to cherish it.
After the meal, Feng Yu’s stomach was bloated and there was still a fragrance in her mouth. The chefs in the Duke Palace were indeed superb. It was a great fortune for her to taste them.
“Your Highness, can I borrow your inkstone?”
After the meal, Feng Yu started to do proper business. She didn’t forget why she lived in the Duke Palace. She could only get what she wanted if she got rid of the demonic Qi from Bei Mingchen as soon as possible.
Bei Mingchen looked at her with a dull gaze. It was so dull that there was no emotion in it, but Feng Yu seemed to see the meaning of inquiry in it.
She curled her lips in amusement. When did she become so powerful? She could actually see through the emotions of this man.
“The devilish energy in the Prince’s body is very fierce. It is not easy to remove it. I need to prepare some things to assist me. However, I don’t have much strength and can’t take out these things. Therefore, I want to write them down and borrow the power of the Prince to gather them in the shortest amount of time.”
She explained patiently.
Ye Feng widened his eyes and looked at Feng Yu in shock. He could not believe what he had just heard. What did she say? She actually said that she wanted to remove the devilish energy for the Prince?
If he did not misunderstand, that was what she meant.
However, how did she know that there was devilish energy in the Prince’s body? Other than the Emperor and a few people, the outside world did not know that the Prince had been infected with devilish energy.
How could she have the capital to say that she wanted to remove the devilish energy? Even his master could not do anything to the devilish energy in the Prince’s body. She was just a girl. What right did she have to say such a thing?
Was this the reason why the Prince cared about her?
Beiming Chen pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Then, he turned to Ye Feng, who was looking at Feng Yu in shock, and instructed, “Ye Feng, pass me the ink and paper.”
Ye Feng put away the shock in his heart and swallowed his saliva dryly. He had not recovered from the shock and only subconsciously obeyed Beiming Chen’s orders.
“Yes, Prince.”
The guard brought the ink and paper over and respectfully laid the paper in front of Feng Yu. Feng Yu looked at the ink and paper in front of her and picked up the brush to dab the ink.
Although Yun Ningru did not know how to write, she had the Azure Light.
Although the Azure Light was not reliable at critical moments, he could still rely on it most of the time. For example, Feng Yu’s words would automatically appear in her mind, preventing her from not knowing how to write in this world.
In her previous life, her calligraphy was considered top-notch. Now that she was holding the brush, the feeling was overwhelming. Her writing was smooth, and lines of bold words appeared on the white paper.
The night breeze was stunned. The bold words did not look like they were written by a woman. It was said that one could tell a person’s character by looking at the words. The girl in front of him seemed to have extraordinary breadth of mind.
Feng Yu passed the written paper to Ye Feng and said, “Young Master Ye, how long will it take for you to collect all of these items?”
Thousand-year Jade Essence, Nine Yang Grass, Blood Transformation Stone, Seven-Colored Lotus Heart…
There were about twenty names on the paper, half of which were precious treasures. However, with the power of the Imperial Residence and Emperor Yuan Wu’s love for Beiming Chen, it would not be difficult to collect all of them.
Ye Feng passed the paper to Beiming Chen and said to Feng Yu, “Miss Feng, give me seven days. Within seven days, I will deliver all of these items to you.”
“Okay.”
Feng Yu was a bit disappointed. She didn’t expect that she would have to wait for seven days. However, there was nothing she could do about it. Half of those items were the most precious treasures in the world. Luckily, the Chen family had the advantage, otherwise, even seven years wouldn’t be enough for them to collect all of them.
Since it was related to Beiming Chen, Ye Feng didn’t dare to be slow. He went down to collect those items.
Feng Yu came out of the main hall and went to the back garden to cultivate. After she sensed the God Sealing Seal fragment in her body last night, her cultivation had increased again. If it wasn’t for the azure light suppressing her, she would have broken through last night.
Now that the matter was settled, she should sit down and sort out the Spiritual Qi in her body and break through to the next level.
Feng Yu closed her eyes and her long hair moved without wind. She formed a seal with her hands and the Spiritual Qi in her meridians flowed continuously. The Spiritual Palace in her lower abdomen seemed to tremble. This small tremble immediately caused the world to resonate. The surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to be attracted to her body.
Crack…
Feng Yu seemed to hear a slight sound of breaking. Then, her Spiritual Palace became like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. Its size changed. The Spiritual Palace that was originally the size of a soybean became bigger and the surrounding red light became stronger.
