Not needing to wait for long, Wen Fei Fei soon felt a surge of strength rushing out from within her abdomen. With a bang, she breaks through her bottleneck in a flurry of air gushing out of her pores.
If it had been in the past then the lass would be ecstatic after making such quick progress; however, there’s only shock and panic left in those eyes right now as the words of her hated stepsister returned again.
Bai Yan is right, my talent for cultivation has really gone up! Then does that mean… at the strike of noon, I will suffer unbearable pain day in and day out?
Donk Donk Donk~
It’s then a series of door knocks catches her attention, startling the lass and bringing her back to reality. Hurrying to compose herself so others wouldn’t notice the oddity in her expression, “Come in.”
Stepping in was none other than Wen Shan, the lass’s father. Based on the level of love showing in the man’s eye, it’s clear he’s thrown all of the mishaps of today’s event out the window.
“Fei Fei, did you just make a breakthrough? I felt the surge of energy in the air just now and wanted to come check.”
Stiffly nodding as confirmation, the girl forces the panic back down and makes a smile.
“Hahaha!” Wen Shan didn’t notice the oddity and grew elated, laughing aloud for all to hear. Patting his daughter’s shoulder, “My Fei Fei is wonderful, you really are. I did not expect you to make a breakthrough this quickly after your last, but you did and that brings me great joy knowing you are my daughter.”
“Brother Shen,” Chai Moon also follows closely from behind after sensing the change in the air as well, “even if my Fei Fei’s talent is higher, it will still not compare to Yan’er’s…. I speculate she’s already grown to heights we can only imagine.”
At the mention of his unfilial older daughter, Wen Shan’s expression promptly turned ugly because he didn’t want to remember.
“Enough Moon’er, no one is allowed to mention that unfilial girl in this house again! She even wants to kill me, his own father. That girl is no daughter of mine, and I will not recognize her as such anymore!”
Chai Moon appears to want to speak again after that outburst, but after moving those lips a bit and stammering some more, she said nothing in the end and left it at that.
Then that’s when it happened during their conversation, a ringing gong of the old clock downstair in the living room. Immediately, Wen Fei Fei’s complexion turned ghastly white as her body trembled profusely, sweat rolling down her forehead like she’s just came out of a pool.
“Fei Fei!” Chai Moon was the first to notice the change and cried out in haste, “What’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?”
Although she had previously asked Wen Fei Fei on what Bai Yan fed her, but due to the fear of the consequences of others knowing, the lass in question didn’t tell her own mother and kept it a secret.
“It hurts…” Clenching her fist, the girl throws herself on the bed and began rolling around, “Pa, Ma, it hurts, it really hurts….”
That pain could only be described as someone throwing her onto a grinding plate and then mashing her bones to powder, it’s tearing her mind apart and sucking the air out of the lung.
“Fei Fei!” Chai Moon screamed at the terrible sight and attempts to help, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong with you? Why is this happening?!”
“Bai Yan… she fed me poison. She said that at the strike of noon I will become like this from now on. It hurts Ma, it hurts, please kill me, kill me….”
Even until the end, she didn’t want to reveal the secret to her pain, that’s how much this current lifestyle meant for Wen Fei Fei. But then again, it couldn’t be helped. The lass understands her own father very well. If it becomes known that only by destroying her Dantian could she be relieved from such pain then this man would definitely abandon them. Afterwards, the riches of life would be a fleeting memory, and they, would return to the life of a beggar.
“Fei Fei,” Wen Shan also steps forward and wanted to help his daughter up from the bed, but when he saw the twisted face his daughter made, those hands instinctively faltered and retracted away. “Are you sure it was Bai Yan who did it?”
