There was only another month until the deadline with the Evil Woman for Feng Feiyun.
Arent we leaving Jin? Why are we carrying out the promise with her? Yao Ji didnt understand.
The two of them left Huang Feng Ridge and headed for the Evil Womans citadel. As for Housekeeper Liu, he left Jin for Timeworn earlier than expected.
Feiyun didnt need his protection any longer given the youths current cultivation. He needed to report this anyway.
Yama inside your bottle is a big problem. Its corpse will find us wherever we go, so we need to deal with it first. Plus, the Evil Woman used to be a Heavens Emergence expert, a top dog among humans. We dont know anyone in Central so we need someone to back us up there. Feiyun explained.
But shes dead. Even if she was strong before, I dont think anyone there will give her any face now.
Power mattered the most in the cultivation world. Once fallen, people would immediately step on you, even friends and allies. This was awfully normal.
Theyll give her face if she can finish the fifth transformation. Feiyun said.
Impossible. Yao Ji was the Yin Mother so she knew the significance behind this. She shook her head in response: This land doesnt have enough resources to accommodate the fifth transformation. The only way is for her to obtain the dragon stone of the royal clan, just a sliver of hope.
The truth is that she has a higher-ranking stone than that one right now. Feiyun smiled.
Yao Ji took a deep breath. A stone higher ranked than the dragon one in Jin? How unbelievable.
This would make the fifth transformation very possible.
They entered the city and met the Evil Woman. The latter immediately went into isolated cultivation.
Let me take you somewhere. Feiyun opened the portal to his kingdom.
A 100,000-mile spirit vein underground, comparable to the dragon vein in Jin. Yao Ji was shocked despite her knowledge.
This is only a side vein here. Feiyun summoned a bird and the two traveled across the land, enjoying themselves in the process.
This is a high-level realm? Yao Ji activated her divine intent but couldnt see the end of this world.
Yes, its changing into a minor dimension soon enough. Once it has a world heart, itll be one with the celestials and the changing of day into night, water and air, capable of giving birth to life and spirit energy. Feiyun nodded.
Yao Ji felt as if she was a naive girl while being in here with Feiyun.
She might be able to use the resources here to reach the fifth transformation. Yao Ji smiled.
This is a peaceful land, Im definitely not letting her in. Her murderous affinity is too thick. Feiyun refused right away.
Yes, absolutely not. He repeated.
Its peaceful indeed. Yao Ji leaned into his embrace.
Help! Help! How dare you try to kill me? I am your boss brother, his best friend, dont! We can just talk it through, Im really his close brother! An unpleasant voice suddenly came from the island below.
Feiyun grimaced. He had just bragged about the place being peaceful earlier to Yao Ji. Since when did the kingdom become so rotten? Murders were taking place here?
The black turtle inched out of his shell, seemingly drowsy. It looked around and said: Sounds like the thief.
The bird landed on the island and Feng Feiyun saw two tigers standing on two feet. They carried a wooden beam with an iron chain coiled around it. The chain was connected to a cage.
Ningshuai was stuck in the cage; both of his hands were tied behind his back; his legs also had chains around them.
He struggled in the cage while screaming: Help! Somebody save me! These tigers want to eat me!
The tiger in front had a Buddhist bead necklace on its neck. It turned back and glared at Ningshuai then shook its head: Amitabha. I am a vegetarian. We dont eat meat.
Who are you trying to trick?! A tiger thats not a carnivore? You eat grass then? Ningshuai said with an annoying tone.
The two tigers stopped and put the cage down. The one to the front went over and plucked a green leaf, putting in its mouth and swallowing. It placed its palms together next while chanting: Amitabha.
Ningshuai had nothing to say.
The two tigers continued to carry the cage towards the ocean, stopping by the shore.
What are you trying to do? Ningshuai shouted.
The two tigers sat down and began chanting.
You two must be trying to drown me, right?! I didnt have an affair with a widow or anything, so why?! Okay, fine, fine, Ive thought about it before but thats all it was, I never did it! Ningshuai panicked. [1]
The tigers kept on chanting.
Buddhists like you cant kill! Thats a violation of your creed! Ningshuai continued.
The tigers finally finished. One of them said: Kill? Thats only when talking about good people. Well be throwing you into the ocean so that the water can purify your evil nature. You can leave this world early and enter the reincarnation cycle then become a good person in the next life.
Fuck, what kind of logic is that?! You cant do this to me! If I die today, Ill be the evilest man in the next life, Ill eat all the tigers I see! Damn you!
The tigers exchanged glances then picked up the cage, ready to toss it into the ocean. One of them added: We chanted the crossing scripture for you earlier so youll definitely be a good person in the next life. We arent giving up on you, dont give up on yourself.
Ugh... Ningshuai nearly vomited blood from anger.
Meanwhile, Feng Feiyun and the turtle were having a great time laughing. This thief probably never tasted this bitterness before.
Of course, Feiyun still came out to stop the tigers before they actually threw Ningshuai in there.
They bowed towards Feiyun.
Hu Zhi greets you, Venerable Fo Canzi.
Hu Hui greets you, Venerable Fo Canzi.
Feng Feiyun, youre finally here. I miss you so much! Ningshuai cried out with tears.
Feiyun was creeped out by the warm reception. Its a good thing hes in the cage or he might hug me.
Whats going on? Feiyun asked.
Im innocent, innocent! Ningshuai asserted.
Benefactor Bi has run amok in our kingdom, destroying three shrines and stealing everything from there. Worst of all, Lady Lu was pregnant for five years and eight months, finally giving birth to a female baby... [2]
What did he do to the baby? Feiyuns expression darkened.
The baby is fine but he took advantage of Lady Lu during her weakened state. He snuck into her cave and...
What?! Feiyun was shocked and gritted his teeth: Bi Ningshuai! How could you do something so despicable and immoral!
The turtle shook its head as if it was disappointed in Bi Ningshuai. It pointed its white hand at Ningshuai: Sigh, I cant back you up anymore, sigh...
You two dont know shit! This Lady Lu of theirs is only a 2,000-year crimson deer...
Fuck! And here I thought that Feng Feiyun is the most perverted but your taste is even broader than his, not sparing a mother deer, even taking advantage of her post-labor to do something so unspeakable. This is maddening! The turtle scowled with hatred.
Shut up! I only stole three bottles of milk. The milk of a beast king is extremely precious and comparable to the top spirit medicine.
Oh, thats what it is? Feiyun and the turtle looked at each other.
What else can it be?! Ningshuai felt indignant.
Thats what he did, three whole bottles. When we found him, he was still sucking Lady Lus nipple. The poor lady, a life of achievements only to suffer something like this. Plus, what is the junior sister going to do now? What is she going to drink?
Feiyun and Yao Ji were speechless with sweat on their forehead. This thief was something else, going as far as stealing breast milk.
In the end, Feiyun took care of it and forced Ningshuai to give up the milk.
The two tigers gave Feiyun face and didnt pursue this issue.
1. One of the punishments for adultery = put in a cage then drown them
2. Lu means deer but could also work as a regular last name
