Feng Ninghe deliberately removed the gag from Feng Tongtong's mouth, her slender fingers gripping the latter's chin tightly.
"This pill was specially refined for you. Enjoy it."
Feng Ninghe shoved a red pill into Feng Tongtong's mouth and quickly replaced the gag.
Dying like this was too easy.
She wanted to torment this woman, bit by bit!
The pill melted upon contact with the tongue. Feng Tongtong had no choice but to swallow.
Feng Tongtong's eyes widened, bloodshot and filled with terror.
What had she eaten?
This venomous woman! Five years ago, she should have let her second sister take her head! Not leaving her a single breath of life!
She had a thousand words to say, but with the gag in her mouth, not a single one could escape.
Feng Ninghe glanced at her, her tone calm and indifferent, "Please tell your mother that my mother's dowry is ready."
She believed there was someone even more anxious than her to return the dowry.
That would be the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder was waiting to obtain the cultivation technique to heal his body.
If looks could kill, Feng Ninghe would have been killed by Feng Tongtong's gaze thousands of times over by now.
It wasn't that Feng Tongtong didn't want to speak, but that she simply couldn't.
She could only glare furiously at Feng Ninghe.
Feng Tongtong secretly vowed in her heart that she would grind this woman into dust!
Feng Ninghe didn't rush to leave. She turned her gaze around the surroundings, her nonchalant female voice slowly stating, "Little tail hiding in the shadows, come out."
The moment the voice sounded, Si Xin Xin clenched her small fists, her little heart pounding in her chest.
As expected of the beautiful sister, she could actually discover her.
Just as she was about to get up, there was movement in the nearby jungle.
A maidservant emerged from the trees.
The experts Feng Ninghe had invited were all at the Golden Core stage. The maidservant had seen this clearly.
Therefore, her eyes were filled with panic.
"Take your mistress back."
With that, Feng Ninghe walked away as if nothing had happened.
Four Golden Core stage experts followed her, a grand procession.
After walking a distance, Feng Ninghe stopped and took out four bottles of pills from her spatial bracelet. "This is the remuneration I promised you."
Seeing the pills, the experts quickly took them, accepting them with fervent gratitude...
The maidservant quickly untied Feng Tongtong and helped her up. "Third Miss, let's return to the manor quickly."
Feng Tongtong's tears of grievance fell.
She stomped her feet in anger, "I will definitely go back and tell Mother that Feng Ninghe has gone too far! Have the matters of the household been relayed to Second Miss?"
The maidservant nodded obediently, "Madam has sent word. It shouldn't be long before Second Miss replies."
Feng Tongtong wiped her tears, her entire face turning red with indignation. "If Second Sister were here, she could have eliminated Feng Ninghe with a flick of her finger. She wouldn't even spare a glance at a mere Golden Core stage cultivator, and I wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating disgrace!"
In the shadows.
Seeing Feng Tongtong's bruised face, Si Xin Xin gasped.
As expected of the beautiful sister, she really knew how to fight!
Recalling the conversation between Feng Tongtong and Feng Ninghe, Si Xin Xin's eyes filled with anger.
The beautiful sister was a good person, yet she had suffered countless torments. She had to teach this despicable Feng family young lady a lesson!
She channeled her spiritual energy and struck fiercely in Feng Tongtong's direction.
Feng Tongtong, who had been walking fine, suddenly tripped and fell.
"Third Miss, are you alright!"
The maidservant quickly helped Feng Tongtong up.
As soon as she got up and took a step, her body uncontrollably fell again.
"Who is causing trouble from the shadows!"
She turned her head with a hint of surprise, her gaze sweeping around.
Falling repeatedly for no reason could not be a coincidence!
Yet, there was no one around, and she didn't sense anyone.
The maidservant, afraid that Feng Ninghe might return, quickly urged her to flee. "Third Miss, it's not safe here. Let's return to the manor!"
The next moment, the maidservant and Feng Tongtong both fell to the ground.
With this fall, they landed in the mud, both covered in dirt.
Si Xin Xin, hidden in the shadows, finally let out a satisfied smile.
Her figure flashed, and she quickly left the area. She did not head towards the Feng manor, but in the opposite direction.
Before leaving, she had already informed Old Man Xu.
It was time to meet Xiao Zhao, and she should be going back.
In the inn.
Xiao Zhao had finally memorized the entire Dan Dao Jue and could finally go home.
It put down the book it was holding and looked at A Xi. "I want to eat candied hawthorn."
A Xi seemed to have expected this and produced the already prepared candied hawthorn. "Miss, please eat."
Xiao Zhao ate the candied hawthorn obediently, its eyes darting around in its sockets.
It seemed to have thought of something and blinked its bright eyes. "Let's go find Daddy. I've finished reading the Dan Dao Jue, let Daddy test me."
Upon hearing that it was finished, A Xi revealed a knowing smile and said with satisfaction, "Alright, let's go find the King of Hell."
Just as A Xi stepped out of the room, Xiao Zhao's feet moved.
It gathered all its strength and charged fiercely towards the window.
*Bang!*
The sound of the window breaking reached A Xi's ears. A Xi's body stiffened, and it anxiously turned back.
The room was empty. There was no one left.
The wind blew into the room through the open window, chilling A Xi to the bone.
Miss had run away again!
If she didn't find Miss quickly, it would be terrible if the King of Hell found out!
Xiao Zhao rushed back to the Feng manor. It transformed back into its original form, the two little pigtails on its head disappearing. Its round body quickly scurried towards Shi Wan.
It had "borrowed" quite a few good things, and the master would surely like them!
At the same time, a figure passed through the back door and cautiously stepped into the Feng manor.
Feng Tongtong deliberately avoided being seen. Dressed in a black robe, she quickly headed towards the courtyard where Zhang Shi resided.
In the room.
Feng Guangyao's face was grim, his eyes filled with anger. "A bunch of gossipy wretches are slandering us like this!"
In just a few days, the news of Feng Guangyao and Zhang Shi usurping the Zhen Guo Gong manor had spread like wildfire.
The past mistreatment of Feng Ninghe had also become common knowledge.
The other major families were waiting to see the show, waiting to see when he, the patriarch, would step down.
"Who is behind this matter?"
Upon learning the full story, Zhang Shi was also furious.
Feng Tongtong, who had just entered the room, immediately sensed the tense atmosphere. She subconsciously looked at the two in front of her. "Father, Mother, what's wrong?"
Seeing Feng Tongtong in a black robe, Feng Guangyao remembered the incident at Tian Xue Mountain, and his expression deepened. "There's no one else in the room, you don't need to dress like this."
Mentioning the black robe, Feng Tongtong could no longer hold back her tears of grievance. She took off the black robe.
The swollen, pig-like face and the bald head in front of them were exceptionally comical.
Yet, it made one's heart turn cold.
Feng Guangyao was so shocked that he stumbled backward. "You... Who are you?"
This could not be his daughter!
He did not have such an ugly daughter!
