Feng Wu chuckled. “He’s indeed going to make a breakthrough. If I’m right, all he needs is the spiritual essence from one or two skewers, which will be enough to activate his own spiritual essence and lead to his breakthrough. However —”
She smiled at Feng Xun. “That’s not enough to agitate him so much as to forget who he is.”
Feng Xun gave it some thought and agreed.
“Then, what’s the reason?” he asked.
Feng Wu shrugged. “I have no idea.”
Feng Xun said, “Huh?”
Feng Wu smiled. “But I trust our shrewd king. He’s going to get an answer out of Chieftain Senal. Moreover, he’s going to make the chieftain bleed.”
The chieftain would have to pay a lot more than three treasure items.
“But that reward definitely won’t go to you.” Feng Xun shook his head.
Feng Wu smiled. “The treasures are not what I want. I hope instead that His Majesty will owe me a favor.”
Thinking about it again, Feng Xun agreed with her. They could put a price on material objects, but not on a favor from the emperor.
“You’re a smart girl.” Feng Xun poked her in the head.
Feng Wu grinned. “I can say the same to you.”
Just then —
“Brother Feng? Brother Feng?”
Feng Wu heard a voice that almost made her jump.
Prince Jun Linyun?!
She was reminded of how the prince had been searching for her, and she felt like screaming. She immediately said goodbye to Feng Xun and went back inside the tent.
As soon as she went in, Jun Linyun showed up in front of Feng Xun.
…
“What happened?” He looked perplexed.
Empress Dugu had been nagging on and on until he almost lost it. Now, he was finally able to get away.
Feng Xun told him what happened just then.
Jun Linyun wouldn’t believe it.
“If eating meat alone can help with breakthroughs, then why should we bother to cultivate at all? We can just eat meat every day,” Jun Linyun said casually.
What he didn’t know was that Chieftain Senal had asked Emperor Wu to give Feng Wu to him in exchange for one fifth of the Senal Grassland.
However surprised Emperor Wu was, he refused the offer without hesitation.
Who was this man kidding? If the emperor dared to give Feng Wu away, Jun Linyuan would definitely throw him off his throne.
Meanwhile, Feng Wu was taking care of two objects.
They were the gifts Nightsnow had brought.
The first one was the dragon spiritual stone.
There were two of them. One was for the cub, and the other was for Little Phoenix.
The dragon spiritual stones were the size of an egg, and they gave off a faint glow.
She gave one to the cub, and while she was still wondering that the cub would do with it —
She saw the cub pick up the stone and smash its small head on it!
It sounded very painful!
As expected, there was a cut on the cub’s forehead, and blood ran down its face.
The blood then dropped onto the dragon spiritual stone.
Instantly —
There was a red flash.
Whoosh!
White light flashed, and in an instant, spiritual essence rushed into the wound!
Struck by the light, the cub fell backward.
Before Feng Wu knew it, the cub had passed out.
“Little guy —”
As soon as Feng Wu spoke, Little Phoenix stopped her.
“Don’t touch it!”
Little Phoenix cried out and stopped Feng Wu. “Its capability has been activated. Only fate can decide what it will become.”
