A Xi took the initiative to escort Si Xin Xin back.
Xiao Zhao, drowsy, nimbly returned to Feng Ning He's dantian.
Feng Ning He glanced at the half-moon in the night sky and said in a low voice, "It's getting late, I'm heading back."
Seeing her rise, Si Jian Ye spoke up, "It's dark outside and dangerous. I have a few things I'd like to say, and I can escort you."
Dangerous?
The simple word successfully made Feng Ning He raise her delicate eyebrows.
If one were to speak of danger, Si Jian Ye was the most dangerous.
Looking across the Li Kingdom, she couldn't find anyone more dangerous than this man.
"What do you want to say?"
She lightly raised her eyebrows and asked without hesitation.
The bright moonlight enveloped the man's handsome face, his chiseled features revealing a wild, untamed spirit.
This handsome face carried a hint of danger.
Si Jian Ye opened his lips, his cool words falling slowly, "Xin Xin likes you very much. I've never seen her like anyone this much before. You should seriously consider becoming her godmother."
This statement, while seemingly a question, carried an undeniable undertone.
Any other woman would have likely agreed immediately.
With such excellent conditions presented, she still needed to ponder.
Was this woman blind?
Feng Ning He didn't overthink it and nodded straightforwardly, "Alright, I'll consider it carefully."
Si Xin Xin was incredibly adorable, and she also liked the child very much.
However, this child's father was Si Jian Ye.
She didn't want any entanglement with this man.
Even in the Heavenly Snow Mountain secret realm...
Thinking this, she suddenly shook her head, forcefully dismissing the images that flashed in her mind.
She would pretend nothing had happened.
The woman before him had been seriously contemplating one moment, only to shake her head the next.
Si Jian Ye raised his sword-like eyebrows in surprise, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"The King of Hell can escort me this far."
Feng Ning He stopped and said politely, "There are few people in the Li Kingdom who can threaten me. If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't necessarily fail. I'll be going ahead."
Si Jian Ye's brows furrowed even tighter.
Watching Feng Ning He's agile departure, he stood rooted to the spot, unable to look away for a long time.
Whether in Xi You Continent, Jinling, or elsewhere, those bothersome women would practically swarm him.
Yet, Feng Ning He, as if encountering a ghost, slipped away after only a few words?
Shi Wan.
Elder Xu craned his neck in the house, peeking outside from time to time.
When he spotted Feng Ning He, he quickly hurried over, "Xin Xin's father is unfathomable and possesses profound cultivation. This man is not to be trifled with."
Feng Ning He nodded in approval as she walked.
She understood Elder Xu's concerns and smiled softly, "I naturally won't provoke him. I've made a deal with him, and during this period, I will treat Xin Xin."
Her words also put Elder Xu at ease. "That's good. After you left, Feng Tong Tong kept clamoring to find you. Shi Wan alone has come looking for you no less than three times."
Mentioning Feng Tong Tong, Feng Ning He's lips curved into a smile as if recalling something amusing. "She must be burning with anxiety right now, but this is all her own doing; she has no one to blame."
In a room at the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion.
Feng Tong Tong tightly clutched the mirror with trembling hands.
To fix her face, she had emptied her coffers and used precious medicinal herbs, yet the injuries on her face had not improved. Instead, her face had become even more disfigured.
"Ah!"
She yelped in fright, her hand shaking.
The mirror crashed to the floor.
Chun Tao stammered as she brought over a bowl of spiritual medicine, "Miss... Miss, this is from Madam."
Feng Tong Tong, disregarding everything else, quickly grabbed the bowl of spiritual medicine and drank it down.
After finishing the medicine, she hastily picked up the bronze mirror that had fallen on the ground, her eyes filled with urgency. "After drinking the medicine, my face should be better, right?"
Logically, a few wounds should heal with the application of medicine.
But her face not only hadn't healed, it had worsened, even beginning to fester! The wounds were red, swollen, and hideous!
She stared at the bronze mirror with anticipation, hoping her face would improve and regain its former beauty.
She stared at the bronze mirror for a long time. Her face showed no change, remaining hideous and ugly.
"Ah!"
"How could this be!"
Feng Tong Tong was furious.
Not only was she disfigured, but she couldn't even wear her wig anymore.
Chun Tao stood by silently, afraid that saying the wrong thing would anger the third young lady.
Bang!
The door to the room was burst open.
Feng Guang Yao and Madam Zhang appeared together.
Having lost control, Feng Guang Yao was deeply troubled and busy strategizing how to regain his authority.
Feng Ning He was currently at the height of her power and popularity, making it difficult to reclaim control.
Seeing Feng Tong Tong's disheveled state, her hideous face topped with a bare head, Feng Guang Yao's mood worsened.
"You are about to be married, and now not only has your cultivation been crippled, but your face is also in this state!"
"How can you be so troublesome!"
Feng Guang Yao couldn't help but gently rub his temples.
If not for the Emperor's decree setting the wedding date, the First Prince would have already fled.
Feng Tong Tong immediately put on a mournful face, tears streaming down, "Father! It was Feng Ning He! She ruined my appearance and crippled my cultivation! She's returned to the Feng residence this time to take my life!"
Madam Zhang also chimed in at this moment, "I believe Tong Tong. She wouldn't want her appearance to be ruined, but she couldn't stand up to Feng Ning He. What is this wretched woman trying to achieve by tormenting her like this!"
Feng Guang Yao's eyes darkened, and he swept his gaze over Feng Tong Tong. "Tell me the whole story."
Feng Tong Tong did not hesitate and began to recount, "She barged into my room without explanation and attacked me!"
She conveniently omitted Feng Ning He's words.
"Feng Ning He is so presumptuous!"
Feng Guang Yao's face turned ashen with anger.
Looking at Feng Tong Tong's disheveled appearance, he felt annoyed.
Yet, Feng Tong Tong was his daughter.
Feng Tong Tong nodded repeatedly, wiping away the tears that fell from her eyes. "Father, you must uphold justice for me! The way she treated me shows she doesn't respect us at all!"
Madam Zhang looked at her with affection, gently took her hand, and patted it. "That wretched woman only dares to act against you. If it were Qing Cheng, she wouldn't dare to be so wicked."
Mentioning Feng Qing Cheng, Feng Guang Yao's eyes filled with emotion, and he sighed, "Your second sister is truly sensible. At such a young age, her cultivation is extremely high. If you had half her aptitude, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Father, Mother, I've tried every method to heal this face, and I can't even wear a wig anymore!"
Feng Tong Tong cried, looking incredibly ugly.
Her already hideous face became even more disheveled as she cried.
Feng Guang Yao found it irritating and quickly stopped her, "Enough, stop crying! You are about to marry the First Prince, and your face must not be damaged! The elders of the Feng family will surely do their best to help. Since you say Feng Ning He harmed you and disfigured you, we must naturally seek her out and demand an explanation!"
Shi Wan.
Feng Ning He was sleeping soundly.
A hurried knocking sound echoed.
Chi Xia stood anxiously outside the door, knocking frantically and shouting, "Eldest Miss, something has happened!"
