Chapter 304: Pay Them Back in Their Own Coin
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Once the Spring Breeze Powder was in place, Feng Wu tossed Feng Liu on the ground. Raising her head, she looked right into the Fire Wolf’s scarlet eyes.
Fire Wolves were big, strong beasts that were twice the size of a grown man. Their long, flowing fur gave them a majestic look.
Feng Wu patted the Fire Wolf’s head. “Sorry about this, buddy —”
She left after that.
Once outside, she carefully closed the door behind her and locked it.
The night wind was chilly on her skin as Feng Wu darted one last grim look at Feng Liu. Your mother was the one who came up with this plan and that Spring Breeze Powder was put in place by her people… So, I feel no qualms about doing this to you.
Feng Wu still had another object in her hand — the Black Qilin Venom the size of a pigeon egg.
Since she was going to pay them back in their own coin, it went without saying that she would use it on Lady Wang.
Something cold glinted in Feng Wu’s bright eyes.
Soon, her nimble figure disappeared into the darkness. Shortly afterward, she appeared inside Flying Snow Building, where Lady Wang lived.
Feng Wu jumped around swiftly in the building and was soon outside Lady Wang’s bedchamber.
As cautious as ever, Feng Wu didn’t use the soporific incense right away, but had a listen first. Someone was snoring loudly inside.
She realized that Lady Wang wasn’t the only one inside. Feng Yanfeng, her eldest uncle, was also there.
About this uncle of hers… Well, Feng Wu couldn’t be bothered to comment.
Suffice to say, if he had been as kind as he ought to be, Feng Wu’s family would never have been driven off into exile.
Feng Wu hadn’t come back to the imperial capital for revenge. She wouldn’t stir things up herself, but she wouldn’t hesitate to fight back either if she became a target.
This soporific incense which Feng Wu had made herself wasn’t available anywhere on the market, no matter how much a buyer was willing to pay.
Using a thin straw, Feng Wu blew the incense smoke into the room.
She waited five minutes for the knockout effect to work, then pushed the door open and marched in.
Her uncle and aunt were fast asleep. In a censer a few steps away, some incense was burning.
Feng Wu had thought about burying the poison in Lady Wang’s kitchen, but then decided otherwise, fearing that she might harm innocent people. Now, under the dim moonlight coming in through the window, Feng Wu fixed her eyes on that censer.
The censer was quite sizeable, and was only cleaned out every once in a while.
Feng Wu’s mouth curled into a smile.
Lady Wang had a habit of burning incense at night, without which she couldn’t sleep.
Hence, Feng Wu figured out the perfect way to put this Black Qilin Venom to use — grind it into a powder and sprinkle it into the censer.
Once that was completed, Feng Wu took a look at her aunt, who was still sound asleep, and smiled. After that, Feng Wu disappeared into the dark again.
She was back in Fallen Star Yard in no time.
The lights were still on.
Qiuling heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Feng Wu. “Miss Wu, how did it go?”
The beautiful lady had gone to bed on time like clockwork, and by now, she was already fast asleep. However, Qiuling and Granny Zhao had been worried about Feng Wu and waited up for her.
Feng Wu grinned. “Of course everything went as planned. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Qiuling and Granny Zhao let out breaths of relief.
Feng Wu urged, “Go to bed. We’re going to face a tough battle tomorrow.”
However, after Feng Wu went to bed —
Little did she know that something very unexpected was about to happen.
Yu Mingye —
That teenager whom Feng Wu had met in Frozen Forest a while ago —
