50: Chapter 50 She's actually Heaven's favorite daughter?
"Mistress, something happened!"
Jun Chen's voice came from outside. Feng Yange packed up everything inside the cave and quickly exited. Behind her, the sound of a collapse rang out, turning the cave into a pile of rubble.
Jun Chen hurriedly pulled Feng Yange over to check on her. Seeing that she was unharmed, he said, "I don't know what happened, but there was a loud boom below just now, and the mountain peak over there exploded."
Feng Yange's eyes darkened slightly. She looked in the direction Jun Chen pointed. The System provided no notification. Could it be that some peerless Treasure Trove had appeared?
Feng Yange's eyes lit up. "Let's go, we should go over and take a look. Our Opportunity might have arrived."
Long Ze immediately transformed into his true form, a golden Dragon, and carried Feng Yange and the others swiftly toward that mountain peak.
"Mistress, A-Yuan has gone to investigate. He told us to wait for him in the shadows."
After landing, Long Ze found a hidden thicket to conceal themselves in. However, they discovered someone nearby. The group walked over, intending to drag the person out, but found themselves face-to-face with a familiar face.
"It's you!"
Li Mingye was surprised to see Feng Yange and her husbands. Seeing acquaintances, he hurriedly poked his head out, excitedly wanting to step forward, but was restrained by the gazes of Long Ze and the others, so he dared not approach further.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to rendezvous with the Li Family?"
Feng Yange hadn't expected Li Mingye to appear here. Looking at the mud smeared on his face, was he deliberately disguising himself like this?
Li Mingye wanted to get closer to Feng Yange, but Long Ze swept a cold, stern gaze over him, scaring Li Mingye into hurriedly explaining. He lowered his voice and said, "That day, I fell from that place into an unfamiliar area and encountered many beast tribes with not-insignificant strength, so I could only hide. As for the people from the Li Family..."
Li Mingye's expression turned ugly, but he forced a smile and explained, "They don't like me, and I don't want to look for them either. Being alone is quite good."
"So that's how it is. As long as you're fine, that's good."
Feng Yange didn't want to pay too much attention to Li Mingye. After all, he was the marriage partner the Li Family wanted to push onto her. She had no interest and no need to get too close, lest she invite unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that Feng Yange was also staring ahead, Li Mingye pointed into the distance and shared the intelligence he knew. "The Ten Great Families have joined forces. Among them is a woman in the Spirit King Realm, bringing eight husbands, all of whom are above the Spirit King Realm in strength. She used some kind of explosive item to blow open the cave and forcibly opened the entrance. The people from the Ten Great Families are all listening to her; they are likely planning to go in together."
"What is that woman's background? She can make the Disciples of the Ten Great Families listen to her?" Why did this sound so much like a female lead's halo?
"I also find it very strange, but that is the fact. Her appearance made the Disciples of the Ten Great Families listen to her. Moreover, I have observed her for a long time; she doesn't seem like a good person." After finishing, Li Mingye added, "There is an evil aura on her."
Feng Yange was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Li Mingye to tell her everything he knew. However, he was, after all, a member of the Li Family, so she still had to be on guard.
"Do you want to follow and take a look?"
Li Mingye asked in a low voice. Seeing Feng Yange shake her head, he understood. With Feng Yange's capabilities, she simply wouldn't bother snatching those items.
"This is a token of gratitude for telling me so much information. Later, I will have my husband give you a bit more, as payment for the information."
Feng Yange handed Li Mingye a piece of roasted meat and then left.
Li Mingye didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting Feng Yange's food, he continued to watch. Feng Yange had already been polite enough to him; if they met again, giving her some information would make for a good partnership.
Soon, Li Mingye followed. The people from the Ten Great Families were gathered together, numbering in the hundreds. He took advantage of the chaos to blend in. Suddenly, a snake coiled around his arm and hissed at him. Li Mingye's expression changed abruptly, but he immediately recognized it as Feng Yange's husband, Xuan Li.
"This is the food the Mistress asked me to bring you. We are even."
Xuan Li handed the food to Li Mingye and was about to leave when Li Mingye lowered his voice and said, "It's chaotic here right now. I want to follow them inside to take a look. Do you want to notify her to come?"
"I will go ask the Mistress. You don't need to wait for us."
Xuan Li touched down and entered the forest. Meanwhile, at the entrance, a woman dressed in white was speaking passionately. The general gist was that the Treasure Trove was inside; she only wanted one map, and as for the other treasures, everyone should rely on their own abilities.
Feng Yange hadn't actually gone back to sleep; instead, she had found a better vantage point to watch everything happening below.
"System, what is her background?"
Feng Yange smelled the lingering scent of gunpowder in the air. Could it be that this person was also a Transmigration traveler?
[Host, upon detection, this person is the Child of Destiny of this world, Xiao Linger. It is recommended that the Host does not come into direct conflict with her to avoid having your Luck stolen.]
"You mean that as long as I get close to her, my Luck will be stolen by her, and the treasures that should belong to me will be taken away by this Child of Destiny?"
"Yes, Host, so the Host should try to avoid her."
Feng Yange frowned. "System, after all this time, I'm actually not the Heavenly Dao's daughter; she is?"
[Yes, Host.]
Feng Yange was very unhappy. She hadn't Transmigrated for this. She had thought that with her Heavenly-grade Spiritual Root and the System, she was the Heavenly Dao's beloved daughter, but in the end, she had to act like a coward.
[System, is it true that as long as I don't compete with her for resources, I won't have any issues?]
[Yes.]
Feng Yange stroked her chin, then suddenly revealed a pure smile. She patted Long Ze's Dragon horn. "A-Ze, let's go down and make up the numbers. You all should suppress your strength to the early stage of the Spirit King Realm and conceal your auras."
Once Feng Yange finished speaking, the group descended. Feng Yange gave them each a Medicinal Pill to take, and only then did she bring them into the crowd. Xuan Li followed her scent and arrived; Feng Yange gave him a detailed explanation. As for Mo Yuan, he quickly found her and joined the group, having concealed his aura.
"Mistress, that woman is problematic. Mistress, be careful."
Feng Yange gave Mo Yuan a Medicinal Pill to take. "I already know. Her name is Xiao Linger, and she is a Child of Destiny. We cannot go against her. We are following them inside for the purpose of observation; do not attract her attention."
"Someone like her is actually a Child of Destiny? The Heavenly Dao must be blind."
Xuan Li had just complained in dissatisfaction when a sudden clap of thunder scared him into immediate silence. Feng Yange looked up at the sky, which was covered in dark clouds, and her eyes darkened. This Xiao Linger really was the Heavenly Dao's beloved daughter; one couldn't even say a word against her.
However, she wouldn't give up on the Opportunity just because Xiao Linger was the Heavenly Dao's beloved daughter. She had watched so many short dramas and read so many novels; she knew that when a Child of Destiny did evil, it would consume their Luck points. When that time came, she would take those Opportunities, and it would be legitimate.
"This weather looks like it's going to pour rain. To prevent the cave from collapsing, we will go in tomorrow."
Xiao Linger looked up at the sky, and her heart suddenly felt panicked. Could this be a warning from the Heavenly Dao? But she was the female lead; how could such a situation happen?
Never mind that. She had to find her group of male leads; only then could she complete her mission.
The crowd that had originally been preparing to enter the cave scattered, acting very obediently, and began searching for caves to hide from the rain.
"She really is the female lead of Luck. The people from the Ten Great Families actually listened to her and left just like that, without even a word of rebuttal." This was definitely cheating.
Feng Yange didn't linger either and quickly departed. Since Xiao Linger said it would rain, it would definitely rain. She needed to quickly find a place to settle down.
[New Mission Issued: Please have the Host complete the setup of a Barrier and finish one Talisman.]
"A Talisman? Could it be that I am also a Talisman Master?" Feng Yange's eyes lit up, as if she could see herself successfully drawing a Talisman and a crowd of people looking to buy them from her. Just thinking about it felt great.
Suddenly, Ling Feng's voice broke her daydream. "Mistress, something happened!"
