Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1005: Plans

“I don’t think this is bad at all, you can marry a pretty princess on top of gaining the support of a powerful clan like the Liu. Most importantly, she is also a principled woman on top of being capable. You don’t need to worry about anything. If I can meet a turtle like her, I’ll marry right away.” The turtle laughed.

Feiyun wasn’t in the mood for a joke. He pondered: “As if something that good can happen for no reason. We both know that those geezers only want the Grand Puppet Art and the treasures from Nine-abyss. If I don’t hand them over, I’ll never be able to leave this mansion. It’s no different from prison.”

Feiyun glanced back and saw four old men standing dozens of meters away. They appeared to be protecting him but in reality, they were there to prevent him from escaping.

“Can’t really fault her for doing this, she’s in a tough position too. If they were to find out that she is no longer pure, her fate won’t be pretty. I believe it’s okay for both men and turtles to be promiscuous, but there is a sense of responsibility that mustn’t be forgotten.” The turtle said seriously.

Feiyun stroked his chin, seemingly in rumination.

A group of young cultivators came over during their conversation. The males were handsome while the females were also attractive. The leader was none other than Liu Suzi.

She wore a clean purple robe with a white-jade ribbon tied around her thin waist. Her hairstyle was tied up in a young-noble bun. The paper fan wasn’t missing either.

One of them shouted from a distance: “Isn’t that the half-demon favored by our First Princess? Feng Feiyun, right?”

Many had a disdainful expression; some started laughing.

“Her taste is getting worse and worse, to actually fall in love with a half-demon. Young Noble Zi will certainly become the next successor.”

“Haha, the half-demon is so lucky, almost like a bird suddenly transforming into a phoenix.”

Liu Suzi turned around and stared at Feiyun before smiling: “Don’t be ridiculous, Brother Feng is a dragon among men, nothing like other half-demons.”

The other geniuses immediately stopped speaking, seemingly very respectful of Liu Suzi’s opinion.

She came over and said: “Brother Feng, I didn’t expect to meet you again here and under these circumstances.”

“This place isn’t bad at all, beautiful scenery and ample spirit energy.” He smiled.

The four old men following him saw Liu Suzi and became cautious. They chatted secretly and one of them left.

Liu Suzi took note of this and said loudly: “I believe you’re not that familiar with the residence yet. There are prettier places and older ruins. As long as you don’t mind unsavory gossips, I can be your guide.”

“I’m afraid today is no good, First Princess is waiting for me to return.” He responded.

Liu Suzi slightly frowned and sent a telepathic message: “Liu Suhong is faker than you can imagine, don’t be fooled by her false promises, you are working with a tiger who will eat you at the end of the mission. Two princes and a princess have been killed by her.”

She didn’t believe that the two were actually in love, only that they had an accord between the two of them.

She was afraid of his treasures and Grand Puppet Art, not wanting him to work together with Liu Suhong. They would be a considerable threat.

“Seventh Princess, if there is nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave.” He cupped his fist.

Her frown became wider.

“Stop, a half-demon like you dares to disobey the seventh princess? Her Highness was kind enough to invite you, don’t be idiotic now.” A man in silver armor said. His name was Liu Hongyuan, an uncle of Liu Suzi’s branch.

Feiyun knew that her appearance was no coincidence. Liu Suhong was merciless and so was Liu Suzi.

The latter couldn’t show him mercy just because he had saved her before. Just watching him team up with Liu Suhong was not the right move.

In this competition, they could kill their closest family members, let alone a friend with shallow ties.

Feiyun didn’t want to stick around and turned to leave, ignoring Liu Hongyuan.

“Damn you!” Liu Hongyuan didn’t expect a half-demon to ignore him. His feet sank to the ground as he summoned two beast souls.

They turned into two palm seals and came for Feiyun. The others backed off, slightly intimidated by his aura.

Feiyun frowned and stopped, deciding not to show mercy. Buddhist light appeared on his hand along with faint worlds.

He didn’t bother turning around and simply waved his hand backward to blow Liu Hongyuan flying.

“Boom!” Hongyuan’s armor was broken as he spat out blood and rolled on the ground, unable to get back up.

The others have heard about his power before since he defeated Eighth of the Gu. However, they didn’t believe it until now. They turned pale and didn’t say anything.

He recalled his energy and said: “Young Noble Li, I am of no threat to you. Your opponent is First Princess so stop causing trouble.”

“Feng Feiyun, we can be considered friends so I advise you to not get involved in this competition. You do not have a strong background so you’ll die a miserable death. The truth is that if it wasn’t for you saving me twice, I wouldn’t be saving my breath on you. Don’t you know how unreasonable and annoying you are?” She glared at him.

“I am truly in love with First Princess. If you consider me a friend, then give up on the competition.” He said while looking at the sky.

“You must be daydreaming.” Liu Suzi sighed.

Suddenly, a cauldron appeared above them, towering at dozens of meters and had a purple glow. A middle-aged man in a white robe stood on the outer edge and said: “How dare you hurt a member of the Liu? Your impudence shall be punished with death!”

The cauldron descended with the force of a mountain. The middle-aged man was clearly a paragon.

Liu Suzi understood that this was her uncle’s plan, purposely getting hit by Feiyun and then getting the other elders to join in.

They knew that she had a relationship with him and might not be ruthless enough.

She stared pitifully at him. The elders must have come prepared but she had tried to persuade him. He was the one who didn’t listen.

“How blatant, he is under the first princess’ faction.” The three old men behind Feiyun immediately summoned their weapons and attacked the cauldron.

“Boom!” A purple wave sent the three flying.

The middle-aged man said: “Fuqing, Fuyue, Fuyu, the three of you didn’t stop this half-demon from bullying your own clan members. I’ll deal with you lot later.” contemporary romance

This man was a paragon from Liu Suzi’s branch - Liu Fuwu. He was in the Fu generation as well. However, he was gifted and reached Heaven’s Emergence at a young age.

“Little brat, cripple your own cultivation and follow me to the prison or only death awaits you.” He threatened.

Feiyun stood there silently, not considering this a big deal.

“Liu Fuwu, you’re out of line!” Liu Fuqing summoned a lightning hammer and attacked.

“Useless fool, you couldn’t take me on when we were young, let alone now.” Fuwu’s palm strike made the guy vomit blood and forced him down on his knees. Both legs have been broken.

The other two attacked but they were forced down on their knees as well.

“You three have thrown away the face of our faction. I should kill you three but no, I will give the first princess some face and spare you for now. Kneel for three days and repent!” Fuwu stood proudly, believing that he was superior.
