“Times of peace and prosperity need wise rulers as well as reputable officials. My father said that a wise ruler is on the way and all they needed to do was become reputable officials! You know what? I was over the moon when I heard that! My cousin and I swore right there and then that we would become reputable officials that the wise ruler deserves!”

Feng Wu didn’t know what to say. She had no idea that Jun Linyuan was so popular among the people.

“Unfortunately...” Ning Chenxi sighed. “Did you know? His Royal Highness almost had his reputation ruined by a girl named Feng Wu. How can a girl who lost all her cultivation become the crown prince’s wife? There’s no way she can be a mother figure for the empire in the future! She doesn’t deserve someone with such rare talent like His Royal Highness!”

Ning Chenxi grew more excited as he spoke and ultimately clenched both his fists!

Feng Wu said, “... I thought the engagement was off?”

Ning Chenxi replied, “That’s the most fortunate part! Otherwise, many people would try to assassinate that Feng Wu girl. She would be long dead if the engagement wasn’t called off!”

Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.

All of a sudden, Ning Chenxi said excitedly, “There are all sorts of rumors nowadays, and I like one of them the most. It would be nice if it was true.”

“And which one would that be?” Feng Wu gave him a half-smile.

“It’s said that every crown prince of the Junwu Empire has to have a girl with phoenix blood as his queen. The successor to the phoenix blood in this generation is Zuo Qingluan. Word on the street is that she’s only fifteen, but is already a Spiritual Grandmaster; she’s even close to reaching the Spiritual Elder state. Plus, she’s also the goddess of Firmament Palace. If His Royal Highness has to marry someone, she’s the most qualified candidate.”

Feng Wu smiled a little. “Is that so?”

“You know what? We know each other quite well by now, don’t we? I can’t keep calling you ‘young lady’ or ‘little girl.’ Do you mind telling me your name now?” Ning Chenxi beamed at Feng Wu. “We’ve had so much fun talking to each other that I don’t think telling me your name will be a problem.”

“... Heh,” was all the reply Feng Wu had for him. Fun talking to each other? Since when?

Just then, Ning Chenxi spotted a temple standing tall on a mountain slope. He rose to his feet in excitement and said loudly to Feng Wu, “That’s Sumeru Temple over there, the place where I’m supposed to rendezvous with my mother. Young lady, it’s not safe to travel after dark in the mountains. How about you take a break here with us?”

Feng Wu was about to turn him down when someone shrieked, “You! Why are you still alive?!”

Feng Wu turned around. As the saying went: enemies were bound to meet. Feng Liu was here as well!

Tossing her whip aside, Feng Wu headed straight for Feng Liu, keeping her cold, intense gaze on the latter.

Feng Liu panicked at Feng Wu’s reaction. However, she then recalled that she was a Level 5 Spiritual Master after all and there was no need to be afraid of Feng Wu. Feng Liu smirked and asked, “Wh- what are you doing?”

Feng Wu didn’t bother to reply. She kicked Feng Liu right in her abdomen!

Bang!

There was a loud sound!

Feng Liu flew backward like a cannonball and smashed into an old tree, breaking it in half!

She then slipped down the trunk and fell to the ground with a thump.

Blood trickled down from the corner of Feng Liu’s mouth and she stared at Feng Wu in horror. “Ahhh! Ghost... You’ve turned into a ghost...”

“That’s right. And I’m here to demand your life. How do you feel about that?”
