267: Chapter 267 Setting a Trap, Encirclement, and the Secret of Feng Yange
Deep in the forest, Feng Xixi had a gloomy look on her face. Thinking about how she had gotten the Li Family's eldest legitimate son killed on this trip, she felt uneasy. She had to meet up with her eldest sister as soon as possible and join forces with her to kill Feng Yange.
"Have you investigated what Realm Feng Yange's strength has reached by now?"
"I investigated, but couldn't detect anything. Either she has concealed it, or her strength is above mine."
"But how could Feng Yange possibly be more powerful than me?"
"I currently have a Heaven-grade Spirit Root talent; in the entire Xuanling Continent, other than my eldest sister, mine is the highest talent."
"Replying to Mistress, we have investigated, but we couldn't find out."
"A bunch of useless trash! One of you go and inform my eldest sister first. We must discuss the Li Family's matter with her." At the thought of Feng Yange's arrogant look, Feng Xixi wished she could tear her to pieces.
"Yes, Mistress."
Feng Xixi set up camp on the spot. Looking at Consort Li wrapped in cloth, she ordered, "Help him put his clothes on."
At the thought of her former man turning into this, Feng Xixi felt so disgusted that her stomach turned, feeling as sick as if she had eaten feces.
A handsome face flashed across her mind—no, it was many handsome faces, but they were all surrounding Feng Yange, which made Feng Xixi feel even worse.
"Feng Yange really deserves to die! How did she become so powerful? She used to be cowardly and ugly, but now she is flamboyant and beautiful, with so many handsome men surrounding her. What right does she have?!"
"By virtue of my kind heart and honesty, of course."
Feng Yange flew down and landed, her smile as bright as sunshine. Seeing Feng Yange, Feng Xixi rushed forward in anger. "Feng Yange, you actually dare to show yourself! Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
"My dear sister, those words are rather disingenuous. Aren't you here precisely to kill me?" Feng Yange's gaze swept indifferently over the people behind Feng Xixi. One was missing, but it didn't matter. After all, they had all arrived.
The expression on Feng Xixi's face was about to crumble.
"What do you mean by that? Feng Yange, you are my biological younger sister. I came to find you only because I wanted to seek you out. Do you think everyone is like you, not even sparing their own Family?"
Feng Xixi's eyes turned red with anger as she began to put on an act again.
With her eyes rimmed with red and tears welling up, she carried an air of suppressed rage.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Feng Yange sized Feng Xixi up from head to toe. "How did your persona of an aloof Fairy turn into a white lotus persona? Do you have to maintain your persona even in front of your consorts?"
As soon as Feng Yange spoke, Feng Xixi was so furious she almost impulsively struck her, but she held back.
She wanted to buy time. Feng Yange had come here alone, and she couldn't see through her strength. She would stall first, and once her eldest sister arrived, they would join forces to kill her.
"You are still like this, always liking to misinterpret our goodwill."
"Goodwill?" Hearing this word, Feng Yange sneered. Looking at Feng Xixi's aloof and beautiful face, she asked, "Did Phoenix buy a spirit cleansing pill for each of you and our eldest sister a few months ago?"
Feng Xixi's expression changed slightly. How did she know?
"You're going to fuss over this too? If you hadn't betrayed the Family, there would definitely have been a spirit cleansing pill for you." Feng Xixi pinned all the blame on Feng Yange. "Even if you couldn't get a top-grade spirit cleansing pill, Mother would have bought one of the many High Grade spirit cleansing pills sold at the auction house later. You betrayed the Family yourself and lost such a great opportunity, and you're blaming that on me?"
"Fuss over what? I don't need any spirit cleansing pill."
Feng Yange sneered, "You don't actually think I would envy you for getting a spirit cleansing pill, do you?"
"Is that not so?" The pride in Feng Xixi's eyes could not be hidden, yet she still pretended to be generous and said, "I only found out Mother hadn't bought one for you after I consumed the top-grade spirit cleansing pill. I know you blame me..."
"I don't blame you." Feng Yange interrupted Feng Xixi's green tea speech, feeling goosebumps rising all over.
Feng Xixi was tongue-tied. She wanted to find a trace of jealousy on Feng Yange's face, but there was none; there was only disgust in Feng Yange's eyes, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Then why did you bring up the matter of Mother buying spirit cleansing pills for me and our eldest sister? Aren't you just blaming Mother for not buying one for you?" Feng Xixi didn't believe it. How could Feng Yange not be jealous? After consuming a top-grade spirit cleansing pill, she had directly and perfectly upgraded to a Heaven-grade Spirit Root talent.
Feng Yange rolled her eyes. "I just wanted to tell you that the top-grade spirit cleansing pill your mother shouted herself hoarse to buy was refined by me, and all the High Grade spirit cleansing pills sold later at the auction house were also refined by me."
Feng Xixi's face turned deathly pale. Seeing that Feng Yange did not seem to be joking, she took a few steps back and looked at her in disbelief. "You... you are an Alchemist?"
Feng Yange pulled out a handful of top-grade spirit gathering pills and tossed them into her mouth. Feng Xixi's pupils contracted in shock. "Those are top-grade spirit gathering pills! How do you have so many?"
"Are there a lot? These are just my snacks. I can't help it; every time I refine pills, I refine a whole big pot of them, and they are all top-grade. I can only eat them as snacks. Even all my consorts eating together can't finish them." Looking at Feng Xixi's increasingly pale face, Feng Yange sighed. "How distressing, I simply can't finish eating these top-grade pills."
Feng Xixi was so angry she spat out a mouthful of blood. With a pale face, she looked at Feng Yange in disbelief. "You must be lying to me."
"How about I perform some Alchemy for you? I just came to catch up with my sister, so I might as well show you."
As Feng Yange spoke, she pulled out a large iron pot and looked up to give Feng Xixi a smile.
"Never seen such a large iron pot used for Alchemy?"
Feng Xixi only felt her blood rushing to her head. She kept telling herself not to believe a word Feng Yange said. How could anyone use an iron pot for Alchemy? Even high-quality Pill Furnaces couldn't guarantee refining Medicinal Pills, so how could Feng Yange possibly...
"Feng Yange, how could a large iron pot possibly refine Medicinal Pills? You're lying!" Feng Xixi roared at Feng Yange, but she still had to control herself. Once her eldest sister arrived, she would definitely kill Feng Yange.
Feng Yange took out some medicinal herbs and glanced at the fuming Feng Xixi. "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But then again, now that your Li Family's eldest legitimate son with an Ancient Bloodline is dead, have you thought about how you're going to explain this to the Li Family?"
As Feng Yange spoke, she had already begun the Alchemy process.
Feng Xixi watched as Feng Yange simply threw the herbs into the pot. Her Alchemy technique was nothing like the professional ones she had seen; she was completely tossing them in at random. Feng Xixi disbelieved even more that she could refine any Medicinal Pills.
"Feng Yange, are you actually practicing Alchemy?"
Watching Feng Yange put the lid on the pot, Feng Xixi's lips twitched violently. Don't tell her that doing this could actually result in successful Alchemy?
Feng Yange let out a yawn and cast a nonchalant glance at her. "Isn't it obvious?"
"A-Yan, light the fire."
As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, Cang Yan suddenly materialized, startling Feng Xixi so much that she took several steps back. Pointing at Cang Yan, her face turned pale. "When... when did he get here?"
This was Feng Yange's man. Why was he also so good-looking, and his strength seemed very powerful as well?
Feng Yange glanced at Cang Yan. "He used an Invisibility Talisman. Just a little playful fun between husband and wife. I drew some worthless Invisibility Talismans when I was bored."
