Those words carried a menacing threat, but neither the Godwish Grandmother and the Lady of Dao Sea was angered by those words. Instead, there were amiable smiles on their faces.
The person who had uttered the threat was none other than Song Yun.
âYunâer, youâre really fond of Chu Feng?â the Godwish Grandmother asked.
She had long noticed Song Yunâs feelings for Chu Feng, and she had some understanding of Chu Feng too. It was just that the situation was a little complicated at the moment, so she needed to further clarify her daughterâs stance.
âMother, Iâve already told you clearly that I like him. When have I shown such fondness toward anyone else?â
Song Yun raised her head, revealing her mischievous and adorable face. However, there was also a hint of haughtiness in her features too.
âChu Feng is indeed an extraordinary man. He was only at Utmost Exalted level the last time I met him, but he has already reached rank three Martial Exalted level and rank seven Dragon Transformation Sensation. Whatâs even more unbelievable is how he was able to make a breakthrough in the Monstrous Kingâs Soul Mound.
âItâs often said that those who manage to achieve greatness are those blessed with great luck. However, when the opportunity surfaced in the Monstrous Kingâs Soul Mound, the only one who managed to grasp the opportunity was Chu Feng.
âThe truth is that there are plenty of opportunities out there, but few know how to seize it. Chu Feng is the type of person who can make full use of every opportunity that comes his way. It may seem like heâs blessed with great luck, but the truth is that his current level of cultivation was snatched over from the grasps of death each and every time.
âThereâs no doubt that heâs a capable man. My daughter has a good eye for men. Given Chu Fengâs talents, itâs only a matter of time before he surpasses me and becomes a powerhouse in the world of cultivation.
âThe only problem is that heâs on good terms with Zi Ling, and you're planning to steal her soul power. Chu Feng wonât turn a blind eye to it. Given his intelligence, heâll surely trace the matter to us no matter how discreet we pull it off. Weâre bound to offend Chu Feng here.
âYunâer, you need to make a choice here. If you truly wish to obtain Zi Lingâs soul power, you should allow me to deal with Chu Feng while Iâm still able to. Otherwise, you shouldnât even think about it. Sheâs only obtained a small share of it anyway,â the Godwish Grandmother said.
She rationally analyzed the situation for Song Yun with gentle words, trying to persuade her.
âMother, Iâve already told you that Iâll need every last bit of the soul power in order to achieve the effect I wish. It wonât do even if Iâm lacking just a bit of it. The soul power has already started assimilating with her body, so weâll have to make haste.
âI know that what Iâm doing will offend Chu Feng, but I have no other choice. The soul power is simply too important to me. I donât wish to offend Chu Feng either, but thereâs no way around it,â Song Yun said.
âIf Yunâer really requires the soul power, why donât you talk things over with Chu Feng? Thereâs no need for you to become enemies?â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
âAunt, I know Chu Feng better than you. Thereâs no use negotiating with him. He wonât remove the soul power from Zi Lingâs body for my sake, especially if itâll inflict damage on Zi Ling. You donât have to worry about my relationship with Chu Feng. I have my own plans,â Song Yun said.
She quickly added a moment later, âAunt, you shouldnât get involved in this matter. You should find an excuse and leave with big sister Lele and the others once you finish constructing the formation. Given Chu Fengâs personality, he shouldnât blame the matter on you as long as you didnât get involved in it. Youâll still be able to maintain your ties with him.
âHowever, I ought to remind you that no matter how much you like Yaoyao and want to keep her by your side, you canât make a move on Chu Feng. If you harm him, I swear that Iâll kill Yaoyao and you.â
There was a smile on Song Yunâs face when she said those words, making it seem as if she was kidding. However, both the Godwish Grandmother and the Lady of Dao Sea were aware that Song Yun meant what she said.
As a result, the Godwish Grandmother put on a stern face.
âYunâer, watch your tone. How can you speak to your aunt like this?â
The Godwish Grandmother was angered by Song Yunâs rudeness. She rarely lost her temper at Song Yun, but she couldnât overlook anyone behaving so rudely to the Lady of Dao Sea. The latter wasnât just her junior but her younger sister too.
They were each otherâs only blood kin in this world.
âMother, Iâm just joking, though I guess jokes sometimes become true. Iâm quite a hot-headed person, and you know that too. Thatâs why, aunt, you should heed my words,â Song Yun replied cheerily.
âTo be honest with you, Yunâer, Iâd have probably eliminated him out of my own selfish motives if it had been anyone else, but I wonât do it because heâs Chu Feng. Thereâs one thing that I need to tell the two of you.
âMy Spirit Rock of Prophecies once prophesied that the Nine Souls Galaxy would face a huge calamity, and the only one who could stop it is Chu Feng. Getting rid of Chu Feng right now would mean leaving the future of the Nine Souls Galaxy in shambles. I donât care whether youâre going to turn your back on Chu Feng or not, but you can be certain that I wonât do it,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
âI donât care about whatever calamity youâre talking about. All that matters is that Chu Feng is safe and sound. Alright, I should return and make preparations. Iâll leave this place to you, mother and aunt.â
With those words, Song Yun took her leave.
âLittle sister, Iâm sorry. I was too easy on Yunâer, and I ended up spoiling her. Donât think too much about it. Yunâer isnât a bad person,â the Godwish Grandmother said.
âYunâer is indeed highly talented, just as youâve said. Itâs no wonder why you cherish her so much. I wasn't even aware that you had a daughter. However, Yunâer seems to have quite a peculiar personality. Big sister, I know that Yunâer is your daughter, but are you sure that youâll be able to keep her in line? Have you considered the possibility that she might go on a rampage one day?â the Lady of Dao Sea asked worriedly.
âDonât worry, Yunâer wonât lose control of herself. I know that I dote on Yunâer, but thatâs because I feel indebted to her. I was too absorbed into furthering my cultivation back then that I kept suppressing Yunâer development in my womb. During that period of time, I stumbled into a demonic ancient remnant and accidentally got afflicted with demonic aura, causing my body to lose control. In the end, I was forced to give birth to Yunâer in the City of Demons.
âDue to my carelessness, Yunâer was already suffused with demonic aura even from her moment of birth. She was doomed to live a short life with a high concentration of demonic aura within her, but I chose to tackle poison with poison and had her absorb the demonic aura from demonic tools to sustain her life.
âI know that Yunâer has an extreme personality, but she isnât an evil person at heart. Itâs already a blessing that she has her current personality. I believe that Iâll eventually be able to cure her. Once that happens, her personality should improve for the better,â the Godwish Grandmother said with guilt-ridden eyes.
âBut most demonic tools are a cultivatorâs prized possession. You must have sinned a lot for this child,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
The Godwish Grandmotherâs face stiffened. She looked conflicted for a moment, but she soon broke out in a smile. It was as if she didnât regret her actions at all.
âLittle sister, you wonât understand because you donât have a child. My initial plan for having this child was to boost my cultivation. That was why I simply found a man who fit my criteria to bear Yunâer. However, the moment she was born, I suddenly realized just how important she is to me. She isnât just a continuation of my life. Sheâs the person whom I wish to protect the most.
âAs long as she can grow up safely, Iâm willing to do anything at all.
âI wonât deny that I flouted our masterâs teaching and have committed many sins for Yunâer, but I have done many good deeds in compensation too,â the Godwish Grandmother said with a sigh.
âHumans are all selfish. I have done many wrongs myself too, so I donât think Iâm qualified to preach either. Big sis, you should remember that youâre the person closest to me in the world. If you ever need help, Iâll rush over right away. Iâm willing to turn against the entire world for your sake,â the Lady of Dao Sea said.
âI know.â
The two of them exchanged warm smiles.
âHow disgusting. Two shameless old hags trying to act as loving sisters,â an infuriated voice suddenly boomed.
âWho is it?â
âCome out!â
The Godwish Grandmother and the Lady of Dao Sea eyed the surroundings warily. They had set up a barrier around here beforehand, such that no one other than Song Yun should have been able to enter the premises.
Yet, someone appeared to have overheard their conversation.
âHmph!â
With a cold harrumph, two silhouettes came into appearance. They were none other than Shengguang Baimei and Daoist Niantian.
Shengguang Baimei had an angry look on his face, and Daoist Niantian looked livid too. They were looking at the Godwish Grandmother with eyes filled with hostility.
They were worried that the Godwish Grandmother and the Lady of Dao Sea would tamper with the formation, so they secretly kept an eye on them from the shadows. Yet, who could have thought that they were scheming to harm Zi Ling?
Shengguang Baimei couldnât tolerate this outrageous nonsense.
