238: Chapter 238 Heavenly Dao, You're Being Stingy

"A-Chen, do you mean that because of the Spirit-Binding Soul-Locking Seal on you, our good luck has been obscured?"

Seeing Jun Chen nod, Feng Yange glared at the sky aggressively, suddenly raised her middle finger, and silently accused: Heavenly Dao, I despise you!

The sky showed no reaction, and Feng Yange snorted coldly, muttering in a low voice: "Feeling guilty, aren't you? Look at the good work you've done."

A loud boom echoed from the sky, and a bolt of Lightning Tribulation fell, striking a large tree not far from Feng Yange.

"Heh, I called it. You're angry from embarrassment. If you have the guts, strike me then!"

The Lightning Tribulation did not fall on her, and Feng Yange's expression turned solemn as her gaze deepened, "And you say you're not my real father? You can even predict my predictions now."

...

Beside her, Yue Lan could no longer hold back and burst into laughter. Although the others restrained themselves, their laughter was still quite loud.

"Mistress, do you always shout at the Heavenly Dao like this?" Yue Lan nearly choked on his laughter. He suddenly understood why Xuan Li used to brag about how happy they were when spending time with Mistress.

"Isn't that how a real father and daughter get along?" Feng Yange looked up at the sky. Although she had unilaterally acknowledged the relationship, the Heavenly Dao had never refused. Every time, it either tacitly agreed or sent down lightning to echo her, which could be considered a very good father.

The Heavenly Dao had absolutely no desire to understand Feng Yange's thoughts.

It just wanted to turn a blind eye.

"Where do we go now?" Long Ze looked around, "Are we looking for the beast that opens the Second Layer Secret Realm?"

Feng Yange tried to open the space, but couldn't get in.

"The space can be exited but not entered. Let's have a competition to see who can find the beast that opens the Secret Realm first." Feng Yange gave each of them a new storage ring to keep count.

"Gugu chickens, high-Rank beast meat, and for medicinal herbs—besides those for Alchemy—don't let go of herbs that can be used for soup like ginseng, lingzhi, and fleeceflower root, etc. Whoever finds the most wins."

Feng Yange had checked, and there were quite a few medicinal herbs here. These Cultivators were looking for herbs that could increase spiritual power and Heaven And Earth Treasure, but there were many others they didn't know about.

What she wanted was everything.

"What's the prize?"

"Of course, it's me." After Feng Yange finished speaking, several figures left rapidly, leaving Feng Yange stunned in place for a moment, "No, was that necessary?"

However, she didn't say she wouldn't compete with them for first place.

The hunting moment began.

After a day, Feng Yange returned with a full load, but she was very unhappy.

Long Ze and the others came to rendezvous, their expressions looking ugly. They had plenty of medicinal herbs and prey, but they had to admit that the probability of finding the beast that could open the Second Layer Secret Realm was ridiculously low.

"It seems our harvest today wasn't great."

Feng Yange dumped out the contents of her storage ring, making the eyes of the others go wide.

"Mistress, how many beasts did you kill?"

"I didn't count. There were dozens of mutated crazy bees; they chased me to kill me, so I couldn't let them go. Then I ran into some ugly mutated things." After all, those mutated Demonic Beasts turned and ran the moment they saw her.

The medicinal herbs were just picked up along the way; after all, she had the System, she was cheating.

"Mistress, we didn't hunt many beasts, but the medicinal herbs are decent." Mo Yuan handed over his storage ring, "Jun Chen's body hasn't fully recovered, so I had him hunt less and focus mainly on gathering herbs."

Jun Chen nodded and gave his storage ring to Feng Yange, "Mistress, none of the beasts we hunted had clues to opening the Second Layer Secret Realm. Do you think we were deceived by them?"

"It's not that we were deceived, it's just that our luck is indeed not great." Yue Lan took out a Jade Slip, "I checked, and this is indeed how the Second Layer of the Secret Realm is opened. It depends on Opportunity; this isn't something that can be found overnight."

Feng Yange shrugged, "Fine, let's leave it to fate. While we search, we can also look for Spiritual Veins. This Great Secret Realm must have many Spiritual Veins; let's find the best one."

Suddenly, Feng Yange thought of Bai Jiuxiao. If he were here, he might be able to get her a Spiritual Vein.

"Mistress, I have come out of seclusion."

Bai Jiuxiao's voice suddenly rang out. Feng Yange looked at Bai Jiuxiao who appeared before her and hugged him happily, "Little fox, I was just thinking of you, and you've come out of seclusion. You are..."

At the Spirit Venerable Realm?

"Spirit Venerable Realm, and there wasn't even a Lightning Tribulation." When Bai Jiuxiao said this, he felt a bit dejected. He had thought there would be a Lightning Tribulation and was even planning to let Mistress absorb a wave of it, but in the end, nothing happened; he had Undergone Tribulation quietly.

"Could it be that this Heavenly Dao really doesn't want to let me mooch off its lightning?"

Feng Yange looked up and raised her middle finger again.

The sky rumbled, dark clouds gathered, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

"Find a place to hide; it's going to rain."

Bai Jiuxiao looked around, "Mistress, where are we?"

"The Great Secret Realm, it's quite interesting. Let's find a cave to shelter from the rain first, then I'll tell you more." After Feng Yange finished speaking, Bai Jiuxiao transformed into his true form and took Feng Yange to look for a cave, with the others following behind.

"Mistress, there's a cave ahead." Long Ze shouted, "I'll go check it out first. Little Seven, you bring Mistress along slowly."

The cave was found; it was very hidden but very messy inside. Long Ze took Mo Yuan and Jun Chen to quickly clean it up. Yue Lan set up some simple arrangements. After Bai Jiuxiao and Feng Yange arrived, they gathered firewood just as the heavy rain poured down.

Feng Yange brushed off the rainwater from her body, "This Great Secret Realm is really different from the ones we've visited before. There are taboo suppressions, and even this rain is so abnormal."

"Mistress, is there a possibility that this rain is because of that gesture of yours?"

Mo Yuan raised his middle finger. That cheeky grin didn't make Feng Yange angry; instead, it made her feel great, "A-Yuan, you make a good point. However, the Heavenly Dao is being stingy, huh."

Mo Yuan and Feng Yange looked at each other and laughed heartily in tacit understanding.

Jun Chen held his forehead. Was it Mistress who corrupted Mo Yuan, or Mo Yuan who corrupted Mistress?

Only Bai Jiuxiao looked at them, completely confused. What had he missed?

"Come over and help me start a fire to cook." Long Ze called out, having already started preparing, "Since it's raining, let's treat it as a break. Yue Lan, look up more information about the Great Secret Realm."

Bai Jiuxiao quickly went over to ask about the situation. Long Ze told him what had happened, and Bai Jiuxiao looked disappointed; he had actually missed so many things.

Cultivating really does get in the way of things.

However, he could help look for Spiritual Veins; after all, that was his specialty.

Ever since unlocking the new functions of the Jade Slip, Feng Yange also liked using it to look up information.

"Mistress, Xiao Linger is denouncing you."

Yue Lan waved his hand, and the words on the Jade Slip appeared before everyone, the screen enlarged, and the font was clear.

"She really is shameless, dumping all sorts of dirty accusations on Mistress." Mo Yuan was quite angry, saying that Feng Yange was originally a good-for-nothing, and later got involved with the Beast Clan, using some unknown evil Demonic Technique to start Cultivating.

It said she was kicked out of the Family, stole the Family's supreme treasure, tried to force a Phoenix to form a contract with her, and when that failed, she cruelly killed it. Besides these, it also said that Feng Yange liked to steal, and that the beast clan members around her were all forced by Feng Yange to form contracts.
