139: Chapter 139 Give me the Fire Spirit Orb, and I'll give you my life.
Those Cultivators glanced around, and the leader spoke up, "Miss Feng, the Xiao Family has teamed up with the Sect Masters of the ten major Sects to kill you, but we will not take action against you, and we will make the Xiao Family's malice clear to our Sects so they won't cause trouble for you."
"Our Sect is the same."
"Alright, then this matter is behind us." Feng Yange was straightforward; after all, she didn't want to make enemies, and clearing things up brought her only benefits and no harm.
Seeing them staring at the roasted meat in her hand, Feng Yange waved them over, smiling with an utterly harmless look.
"Want some? Just answer a few questions for me."
These Cultivators nodded hastily. "Miss Feng, whatever you want to know, just ask. Even if there's no food, we would still tell you."
Feng Yange gestured to Xuan Li to share the roasted meat with them. "Have you heard anything about the Phoenix Clan hunting down a traitor?"
The Cultivators exchanged glances and then said in low voices, "We heard Xiao Linger and Xiao Bufan mention it. It seems a traitor of the Phoenix Clan escaped. Xiao Linger got acquainted with a Phoenix, so they had us Cultivators search the Secret Realm for a handsome man dressed in red. They said once he's caught, dead or alive doesn't matter."
"Xiao Linger actually has such a good relationship with the Phoenix Clan?"
Feng Yange was somewhat surprised. She had already roasted the Phoenix egg, yet she hadn't expected Xiao Linger to still be able to contact the Phoenix Clan.
"That was all exchanged for selling out information about you. She told the Phoenix Clan that she saw your husband wearing a red robe, looking incredibly beautiful and extremely similar to the traitor the Phoenix Clan was searching for. Only then did the Phoenix Clan look at her in a new light."
At this point, one Cultivator couldn't help but spit, "We didn't want to associate with her in the first place. Her methods are truly despicable."
Hearing this, Feng Yange's worldview was once again refreshed by Xiao Linger's methods.
She was supposed to be the Luck female lead, yet her methods were even more despicable than hers.
Father Heavenly Dao, look at the Luck female lead you chose. What a piece of trash.
Feng Yange swept her gaze across the sky with disdain.
Sure enough, the wind and clouds changed color; here it came again.
"Thank you for telling me all this. The past is water under the bridge." Feng Yange cupped her hands in gratitude. These Cultivators were very righteous, "If you need anything in the future, just speak up. We will certainly help if we can."
With that, the Cultivators departed.
Feng Yange stood up. "A-Li, let's go find Xiao Linger."
Xuan Li was puzzled. "Mistress, why look for her? You can't kill her anyway."
He truly disliked this Luck female lead and didn't even want to go near her.
"What does it matter if we can't kill her? She's no match for us either. Besides, if we follow her, we'll be the first to know when the Divine Stone appears. Most importantly, we can disgust her."
Feng Yange patted her wrist, and Xuan Li understood instantly, immediately turning into a small snake and wrapping himself around her arm.
"Damn that Feng Yange! Why does she have to disgust me wherever she goes?!"
Xiao Linger whipped her husband like mad. Looking at her husband covered in blood on the ground, she still couldn't vent the rage in her heart.
"Even if you beat him to death, you can't change the fact that you are inferior to Feng Yange."
A hint of vengeful pleasure flickered in Xiao Bufan's eyes. Seeing Xiao Linger acting like a madwoman, the ruthlessness in his eyes grew more pronounced. "Xiao Linger, Lord Phoenix said that as long as you obtain the Divine Stone this time and present it to the Phoenix Clan, they will kill Feng Yange for us."
Xiao Linger threw the whip onto the ground, turned to meet Xiao Bufan's sinister gaze, and suppressed the killing intent in her heart as she said coldly, "Naturally. I will definitely present the Divine Stone. I only want Feng Yange dead!"
[Ding! Detected that the Luck female lead Xiao Linger's Luck value has decreased. Current Luck value is 60%.]
Feng Yange was slightly surprised. "System, why did Xiao Linger's Luck value drop so much? Did she commit some evil deeds?"
[Host, Xiao Linger has tortured and killed over ten male Cultivators in the past two months. Her Luck value has decreased; once it falls below 50%, she will lose the protection of the Heavenly Dao.]
Feng Yange's eyes lit up. "Then won't I be able to kill Xiao Linger very soon?"
It seems the Heavenly Dao is quite fair. As long as she commits more evil, her protection will be cut off. This is much better than the kind of situation where she is protected as long as she still has any Luck value.
"Father Heavenly Dao, you've finally opened your eyes."
Feng Yange pressed her hands together, bowing in all directions, and then cheerfully went to find Xiao Linger.
"Mistress, why do I feel like the Heavenly Dao doesn't even want to pay attention to you anymore?"
Xuan Li was amused by Feng Yange's antics. Every time he saw his Mistress like this, he thought she was incredibly adorable.
"Who says Father Heavenly Dao doesn't want to pay attention to me? Didn't he strike me with lightning before?" Feng Yange looked at the unchanging sky and murmured to herself, "Silence is golden; this is his way of showing care for me. If he sends down heavenly lightning, that's a reward for me."
Xuan Li burst out laughing. "Mistress is right."
A "chirp chirp" sound suddenly came from her space. Feng Yange's eyes lit up. Sensing it immediately, she brought Xiao Hei out. Looking at the black feathers growing on his body, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Xiao Hei, your feathers are growing so fast."
"Can you give me the fire spirit bead?"
Xiao Hei blinked his round eyes at Feng Yange. "I need to increase my strength."
"You can speak now?"
Xiao Hei nodded, covering his body with his wings, looking at Feng Yange with eyes full of anticipation.
"What will you exchange with me for it?"
Seeing the struggling look in Xiao Hei's eyes, Feng Yange said, "The fire spirit bead is extremely precious. If you want me to give it to you, it can't be just based on your words."
"Once I finish my revenge, my life will be yours."
Xiao Hei's eyes were resolute. Feng Yange, however, was stunned. "Revenge? Who is your enemy?"
Xiao Hei tilted his head up to look at Feng Yange, confusion appearing in his eyes.
"Then do you know who you are?"
Xiao Hei looked at Feng Yange, his gaze growing increasingly dazed. Only after a good while did he shake his head. "I don't remember."
"Then what do you remember?"
Feng Yange cupped Xiao Hei in her hands, only to hear his clear voice say, "You."
Feng Yange's heart trembled, and her tone carried disbelief. "Me?"
Xiao Hei said he remembered her. Seeing him nod, she quickly asked, "Then tell me, what exactly do you remember about me?"
"I remember that you saved me and gave me delicious food. My intuition tells me you will save me and help me. I want the fire spirit bead so that once I become strong, I can seek revenge."
"But you don't remember anything. Who are you going to seek revenge on?"
Xiao Hei's gaze was incredibly resolute. "I will remember. Help me."
"Mistress, you aren't really believing his words, are you? He's just a pitch-black bird. How much could his life be worth? The fire spirit bead is so important to you; you can't give it to him."
Xuan Li grew anxious and quickly pulled at Feng Yange's arm to remind her. Feng Yange stared into Xiao Hei's eyes. Was she really going to give him the fire spirit bead?
Although the System said his Spiritual Root talent was extremely high, the fire spirit bead was of vital importance to her; it was an important material for her to Cultivate the Hongmeng Spirit Root.
Xiao Hei's expectant gaze gradually filled with disappointment. He lowered his head, and two drops of bloody tears fell.
