64: Chapter 64 Your two older sisters want you dead
Xiao Linger burst into the cave, followed by her husbands, looking arrogant and aggressive.
It had only been one night, and Xiao Linger was already fine?
This Xiao Linger truly lived up to being the favored daughter of the Heavenly Dao; had she eaten some kind of Immortal Pill?
Feng Yange stepped forward quickly and grabbed Xiao Linger's hand. "Are you alright?"
Xiao Linger felt uncomfortable being stared at by Feng Yange's concerned eyes. She tried to pull her hand back, but Feng Yange held on tightly, scanning her body. "Does the wound on your back not hurt anymore?"
"Just a minor injury..." Xiao Linger paused, narrowing her eyes as she scrutinized Feng Yange. "How did you know I was injured on my back?"
Could it be that she saw everything last night?
"I saw it when I was hunting last night." Feng Yange looked open and honest. "You... surely you don't eat?"
Only then did Xiao Linger notice the pots and pans in the cave, as if they were living a normal life.
Gluttons!
They were already Cultivating, yet they didn't abstain from grains; they were actually wasting time eating.
Feng Yange suddenly realized, "It seems you have already achieved grain-abstinence. I can't; I have to eat, and I need fresh ingredients every day."
Xiao Linger looked at her with utter disdain. "I've really never seen someone as stupid as you. Can't you abstain from grains?"
"I don't want to. Of all the things in the world, eating is the most important."
Feng Yange looked at her back again, looking curious. "You still haven't told me, how did the wound on your back heal so quickly?"
"Of course, it's the spirit spring water. Don't you have any?"
Feng Yange looked shocked. "Then how much spirit spring water did you have to use to heal the wound? If I didn't see it wrong, the giant bird's claws tore away several chunks of meat from you. It's only been one night; isn't your recovery ability a bit too strong?"
Feng Yange's admiring gaze made Xiao Linger look smug. "It's just mere spirit spring water. As long as you are willing to spend it, you can survive as long as you still have one breath left."
Feng Yange clapped her hands in applause. "You are truly amazing. If it were me, I would have died long ago. Someone like me can only sneak a peek; you are too incredible."
"That goes without saying!"
Being flattered by Feng Yange, Xiao Linger looked even more smug.
Feng Yanjiu and Li Shishi exchanged a glance and whispered to Xiao Linger, "We came to demand the cave, not to listen to her deceive you."
"She is best at flowery words; don't let her trick you," Feng Yanjiu warned. Just as she was about to speak further, she saw Feng Yange staring at her, and Feng Yange flashed a smile at Xiao Linger.
"Isn't it just a cave? If you want it, of course, I'm willing to give it to you. Besides you, who else is worthy of living in this cave? I'll take my husbands and leave right now."
Feng Yange's agreement surprised them. She just agreed like that?
"A-Yuan, pack up our pots and pans; we are making room for Miss Xiao." Feng Yange said loudly. Xuan Li quickly walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "Mistress, what about Little Six?"
"Throw him into the spatial storage and take him away. Don't ask too many questions."
Feng Yange looked at Feng Jiaojiao lying on the ground and asked her husbands, "Do you want to stay here or come with us?"
"We will go with you." They answered without the slightest hesitation. Feng Yange nodded and waved her hand. "Then keep up."
"Why did she agree so easily?"
Xiao Linger stared at Feng Yange's retreating figure; she always felt that she had something with Feng Yange.
Feng Yange put Li Mingye into the spatial storage, and after confirming he was there, she walked out of the cave.
"If you leave, what will happen to us?"
Once Feng Yange left, those who wanted Feng Yange's spirit spring water immediately became anxious and rushed to stop her. They had no intention of letting Feng Yange go just like that. Following her, even if they died, she would be the one to bear the brunt of it.
"She has so much spirit spring water she could take a bath in it. Go ask her for it."
Feng Yange lowered her voice to remind them, "She is the real big boss. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday; she is exceptionally powerful. You'd be better off begging her than me. My bit of spirit spring water has already been traded away to you all."
Feng Yange gave them a wink, looking as if she were disappointed by their lack of insight. The crowd suddenly realized; no wonder Li Shishi and Feng Yanjiu were following Xiao Linger.
Xiao Linger sensed something was wrong and was just about to speak when a crowd swarmed over. "Xiao Linger, do you have some spirit spring water to trade with us..."
Xiao Linger wanted to refuse, but the people who had recovered their strength today were even more fierce than last night. Moreover, Xiao Linger had been injured yesterday; even though she had recovered a lot, facing so many people, she was quickly surrounded tightly, and even Li Shishi and Feng Yanjiu were squeezed out of shape.
Feng Yange looked back at the cave behind her, the corners of her mouth curling up into a mischievous smile.
"Let's go, we're changing places."
"Mistress, your move was too brilliant. You solved all our troubles at once." Xuan Li's eyes were full of admiration; she was worthy of being his Mistress, definitely smarter than them.
"That cave was dirtied by them. If we stayed there, we would only be pestered by them. It's better to abandon it and find another one. Besides, they aren't good people."
He had been thinking about how to tell the Mistress about changing places last night; he hadn't expected the Mistress to pull off this move.
Long Ze looked at Feng Yange, his eyes full of tenderness; his Mistress was even smarter than he had imagined.
"I also didn't expect Feng Yanjiu and Li Shishi to go find Xiao Linger. But this Xiao Linger is truly worthy of being the favored daughter of the Heavenly Dao. She was injured like that, yet she was lively after just one night. We cannot go head-to-head with her."
She couldn't afford to provoke her, but she could hide from her.
"Her luck is indeed Heaven-Defying. Even for me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recover in one night if I were injured like that." Mo Yuan's eyes darkened. "We need to go further away this time. However, Mistress, have you thought about where to go?"
"Let's find a cave near the Sword Tomb. After Feng Jiaojiao gets better, we'll go in and take a look."
As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, Feng Jiaojiao woke up in a start. "No, that's too dangerous!"
"Jiaojiao, you're awake!"
Feng Yange saw Feng Jiaojiao looking at her with fear and nervousness, so she comforted her. "Don't worry, I will only try if I am confident. You don't need to be afraid."
Feng Jiaojiao leaned back on her husband's shoulder to rest, looking at Feng Yange with wet eyes.
"I really didn't expect to see you again. Feng Yange, thank you for saving my life again." Thinking about how she had treated her in the past, Feng Jiaojiao felt even more guilty and remorseful.
"Feng Yange, I have something to tell you. When I hit you back then, you had already been seriously injured by Feng Yanjiu. She told me to hit you; I just wanted to humiliate you, I didn't really want to kill you. Also, when I came, I heard Mother and Feng Yanjiu saying that if you still showed no value to the Family in the Secret Realm, they would kill you during the chaos."
Feng Yange frowned tightly. Hearing Feng Jiaojiao's words, she was genuinely surprised.
"What does it mean that I have no value to the Family?"
Feng Jiaojiao smiled bitterly. "Not just you, but me too. She meant that the husbands you married are all beast-kin, which is of no help to the Family. Your two biological sisters have been noticed by the Ancient Families; they don't want a sister who used to have a Trash Spirit Root and now has married a group of beast husbands."
