Chapter 1849 - 1850: Yeu Junyao
Chapter 1849 - 1850: Yeu Junyao
One day later.
The matter of the Five Emperors Treasure Vault finally came to an end, and Ling Feng returned to Fungyuan City together with the Wind Origin City Lord, Zhao Mingcheng.
Unlike Ling Feng’s first time coming to Fungyuan City, since most of the Martial Artists who went to the Wind Howling Forest in search of the Five Emperors Treasure Vault had already left, this millennia-old Heroic City, though still prosperous, was no longer as jam-packed as before.
Following Zhao Mingcheng straight to the City Lord Mansion, Ling Feng finally met that guest from the Central Origin Domain, of the Jiuli Divine Race!
Zhao Mingcheng brought Ling Feng all the way to a quiet side courtyard in the western garden of the City Lord Mansion and gently knocked on the door.
"Lady Yeu, your subordinate Zhao Mingcheng requests an audience."
From thirty steps away from the door, Zhao Mingcheng already bent at the waist in salute, his attitude exceedingly respectful. Clearly, the person temporarily staying in this side courtyard was by no means simple in status.
Ling Feng frowned slightly. Lady Yeu? Sounds like it should be a woman.
Although Zhao Mingcheng also carried the aura of the Jiuli Divine Race, it was very faint, almost negligible. It showed that at most he was only of the Jiuli Divine Race’s collateral line, while this Lady Yeu should be a core Disciple of the Jiuli Divine Race.
Before long, the door opened, and a willowy woman stepped out from within.
She was a girl who looked very young, willow brows and cloudlike hair, eyes like the stars, dressed in snow-white Baiyi, her figure slender; she even seemed a bit younger than Mu Qianxue.
Only, judging from the aura exuding from her body, she had actually already reached the Third Level of the Heavenly Destiny Realm!
"So young, and she’s already at the Third Level of the Heavenly Destiny Realm!"
Ling Feng’s pupils shrank slightly. The Jiuli Divine Race truly lived up to calling themselves a Divine Race; their foundation was so deep that even the East Spirit Immortal Pond couldn’t compare in the slightest.
Lady Yeu’s gaze swept over Zhao Mingcheng, and when she saw Ling Feng, her Fong Mu knit slightly as she frowned and said, "Zhao Mingcheng, didn’t I already tell you not to bring people here to disturb me at will!"
Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly explained, "Lady Yeu, this is Ling Feng."
"Ling Feng?"
Lady Yeu’s gaze locked onto Ling Feng. When she discovered he was only at the Extreme Human Emperor level, a trace of contempt immediately flashed across her face. "This is the so-called number one genius of the Eastern Spirit Domain you spoke of? The Eastern Spirit Domain is even weaker than I imagined!"
"Uh..."
Awkwardness flashed across Zhao Mingcheng’s face. "Lady Yeu, although Ling Feng’s cultivation isn’t high, he can fight above his realm. Ordinary Mid-level Emperors may not be his match."
"Enough, no need to say more."
Lady Yeu raised her hand, signaling Zhao Mingcheng to shut his mouth. With a Lotus Step she walked up to stand before Ling Feng.
A waft of fragrance rushed into his nose as Lady Yeu circled around Ling Feng, staring at him. Only then did she give a cold snort. "It really is the aura of my cousin’s Primordial Divine Blood!!"
"Cousin?"
Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched, his gaze sharpened and fixed on Lady Yeu as he asked urgently, "Are you talking about Qianxue?"
"Hmph, you dare call my cousin by name as well?" Lady Yeu glared fiercely at Ling Feng. "She is the Holy Daughter of my Divine Race. Someone as common as you is destined not to be a person of her world! I advise you to give up on that idea and stop indulging in your delusions. My cousin’s Primordial Divine Blood is already an enormous stroke of fortune for you! Hmph, I really don’t know what’s so good about trash like you, that she actually passed her Divine Blood on to you, and even keeps talking about you every day, going so far as to defy the marriage arrangement set by the Clan Leader."
With that, Lady Yeu turned directly around and said to Zhao Mingcheng, "All right, I’ve already seen this Ling Feng. Nothing special. You can send him away now."
"Wait!"
Ling Feng grabbed Lady Yeu’s arm in one motion. "Make yourself clear—what marriage arrangement!"
In his anxiety, Ling Feng couldn’t care about anything else. Lady Yeu hadn’t expected Ling Feng to actually dare lay hands on her. The aura around her body surged as she tried to shake Ling Feng off. Her Fong Mu stared at him icily as she ground out, "You’ve got some nerve!"
Who would have thought that with that struggle, Ling Feng’s palm didn’t budge in the least, still tightly gripping her wrist. His expression was solemn and serious as he stared at Lady Yeu, his voice cold. "Explain yourself clearly!"
"You!"
Lady Yeu was so furious that her lungs nearly exploded, yet when she met Ling Feng’s gaze, a faint trace of fear unexpectedly rose in her heart!
What kind of gaze was that?
As if he were a Sovereign overlooking heaven and earth, like a Divine presence high above the Nine Heavens!
Before him, she felt as small as an Ant, like a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand in the Ganges.
The next instant, Lady Yeu hurriedly shook her head, flinging that trace of fear rooted in her heart out of her mind. She glared at Ling Feng and said through gritted teeth, "Brat, don’t think that just because my cousin likes you, I won’t kill you!"
Off to the side, Zhao Mingcheng was also scared into a cold sweat. He rushed forward, saying, "Brother Ling, let go of Lady Yeu at once, don’t do anything rash!"
This Lady Yeu’s real name was Yeu Junyao. She was Mu Qianxue’s younger cousin, her Bloodline pure and her Talent outstanding, highly valued within the clan.
Even though Zhao Mingcheng had already reached the Late Stage of the Heavenly Destiny Realm, he was still utterly deferential before Yeu Junyao, practically like a servant. Yet Ling Feng actually dared to offend Yeu Junyao in this manner.
"I don’t like repeating myself."
Ling Feng’s gaze was icy as he tightened his grip on Yeu Junyao’s hand slightly. Yeu Junyao felt a stab of pain, and her hatred for Ling Feng deepened to the point that her teeth itched.
"Of course my cousin is going to marry a Divine Race Disciple who matches her in status. What, you think she’d marry you?"
Yeu Junyao glared viciously at Ling Feng, struggling with all her might as she gnashed her teeth. "Aren’t you letting go of me yet!"
Only then did Ling Feng slowly release Yeu Junyao’s wrist and take a deep breath.
"A marriage arrangement, huh..."
Ling Feng clenched his Fist, his heart in momentary turmoil.
"Brat, I absolutely have to teach you a harsh lesson today!"
Having finally regained her freedom, Yeu Junyao hurriedly retreated a few steps, then whipped out a Soft Whip, lashing it heavily against the ground a few times. Fiery Flames blazed to life along the Soft Whip, actually carrying the Strength of Fifth-order Fire Rules.
This Soft Whip was at the very least a Low Grade Immortal Artifact!
As expected of the Direct Lineage of the Jiuli Divine Race—she casually raised a hand and it was actually an Immortal Artifact!
Whoosh!
The sound of Windbreak came tearing in as a scorching wave of air swept toward Ling Feng.
Ling Feng’s gaze chilled. The Swallowing Flame surged around his body, and a violent aura exploded outward, forcibly bouncing that Soft Whip back.
"What!"
Yeu Junyao’s eyelids twitched violently. "Swallowing Flame? How do you know the Swallowing Flame?"
"I’m not interested in playing around with you." Ling Feng took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Yeu Junyao. "Take me to Qianxue."
"Hahaha!"
Yeu Junyao immediately burst into peals of laughter, doubling over. "Brat, who do you think you are? Even if I took you to my cousin, with your Strength, you wouldn’t even be able to set foot inside the gates of our Jiuli Divine Race!"
"I said, take me there."
A trace of anger flashed through Ling Feng’s eyes. Right now he could no longer remain calm. Thinking of Mu Qianxue’s sacrifices and what she had done for him, he realized that he seemed to have never really done anything for her.
"Hmph, if you want to see my cousin, you’ll have to get past me first!"
Yeu Junyao swept out the long whip in her hand. Rings of blazing Flame Ring swept in all directions and once again came crashing down toward Ling Feng!
