194: Chapter 194 System's Thoughtful Tips

Holy crap!

Is this the Clan Chief of the Feng Clan?

Feng Ming!

In other words, my father-in-Law?

Chen Yan looked at the phantom in surprise.

He never expected to meet the parents just like this!

Feng Ming nodded gently and raised his hand, wanting to pat Leng Qingshuang's head.

But because he was merely a phantom of a remnant soul, his fingers passed through her hair, unable to touch anything.

Leng Qingshuang was grief-stricken and could no longer hold back; she lunged forward, wanting to hug Feng Ming.

But all she could embrace was the Void Realm.

In an instant, her tears burst forth.

Three hundred years of grievances, three hundred years of longing, three hundred years of loneliness...

At this moment, the dam completely broke.

She knelt before the phantom, crying like a homeless child.

"Wuwuwu~~~ Father... Father..."

Her voice was hoarse, filled with heartbreaking sorrow.

Standing to the side, Chen Yan felt his heart ache as he watched his Revered Master's shoulders tremble with sobs.

He silently cursed this future father-in-Law for making his precious Revered Master cry the moment they met.

But on second thought, after three hundred years of separation, it was only natural for father and daughter to have a good cry upon finally reuniting.

He sighed, pulled a handkerchief from his storage space, and handed it over.

Then he gently held his Revered Master, patting her back to help her catch her breath.

Yet while he patted her, his restless mind began to calculate again.

This father-in-Law seemed to dote on Revered Master quite a bit. If he asked about the betrothal gift later, how should he bring it up?

At the very least, he should get the entire Feng Clan treasury as a dowry, right?

And the treasures in this Secret Realm—since they're the father-in-Law's inheritance, aren't they Revered Master's?

And wouldn't Revered Master's things be his own?

A guaranteed profit!

Chen Yan thought gleefully, his lips involuntarily curling upward.

Feng Ming looked at the smirking young man and then at his daughter, who was a mess of tears; a flash of complexity crossed his eyes.

What is this kid thinking?

Why is he smiling like a total idiot?

However...

He could also tell that this boy's feelings for his daughter were sincere.

It wasn't until Leng Qingshuang's emotions stabilized that she wiped her tears and asked about the main matter.

"Father, the Tongtian Alliance slaughtered our entire Feng Clan for the wind spirit bead, but that pearl... where exactly is it?"

Feng Ming looked at her and gave a doting smile.

"Silly daughter, the wind spirit bead has been on you all along."

Leng Qingshuang was stunned upon hearing this.

Feng Ming raised his hand and pointed toward her heart: "Back when the Feng Clan was ambushed by the Tongtian Alliance, we already knew their target was the wind spirit bead."

"So, when we sent you fleeing from the ancestral lands, we sealed the wind spirit bead within your heart."

"Nurtured continuously by your Divine Soul and Bloodline, it has long since recognized you as its Revered Master!"

Leng Qingshuang looked down at her chest, her face full of shock.

The wind spirit bead had been inside her this whole time?

Feng Ming raised a finger and tapped her forehead, shouting softly:

"Release!"

Buzz!

A burst of green light exploded from Leng Qingshuang's forehead and shot straight to her heart.

At her chest, a green bead swirling with countless breezes slowly emerged.

The bead was only the size of a longan, yet it radiated heart-palpitating fluctuations of the Law of Wind.

The moment the bead appeared, the originally violent wind blades in the Secret Realm actually went quiet!

They gently wrapped around the wind spirit bead.

Leng Qingshuang extended her hands, cradling the wind spirit bead in her palms.

The wind spirit bead was warm, like a beating heart, resonating in sync with her pulse.

She could feel an unprecedented power surging within her body.

Looking at his daughter, the gratification in Feng Ming's eyes was almost overflowing.

"The wind spirit bead has recognized its Revered Master. From now on, you are the final successor of the Feng Clan."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shot a green light into Leng Qingshuang's forehead.

"The Feng Clan specializes in Cultivating the Physical Body and Laws. Coupled with the wind spirit bead, you can slay enemies across realms with a single thought!"

Leng Qingshuang slowly closed her eyes, quietly comprehending the cultivation techniques of the Feng Clan!

Green light flowed around her body, echoing the wind spirit bead.

In just a few moments, her aura began to climb steadily.

Her Wind Spirit Intent even skipped the third stage, 'Accordance Stage,' and broke through to the fourth stage, 'Myriad Laws Stage'!

The surrounding Law of Wind flowed according to her will, as obedient as well-behaved children.

Leng Qingshuang opened her eyes and casually exhaled a breath.

A tiny wind blade sliced across the ground, instantly carving out a bottomless trench.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

Is this the Myriad Laws Stage?

Breaking all Laws with a single thought!

Chen Yan watched from the side, dumbfounded.

Is Revered Master using cheats?

She achieved a Breakthrough in the blink of an eye?

Seeing that Leng Qingshuang had completely mastered the wind spirit bead and learned the Feng Clan's Bloodline Divine Ability, Feng Ming's eyes were full of doting affection.

He sat down airily to the side and began to ramble about stories from Leng Qingshuang's childhood.

"When you were little, you loved climbing the clan's Parasol Tree to pick fruit."

"Once, you fell from the tree and cried your eyes out, yet you still stubbornly insisted you didn't slip, but that you jumped down on purpose."

Leng Qingshuang's cheeks turned completely red: "Father! You... stop talking..."

Feng Ming laughed loudly: "What? Shy?"

"When you were caught stealing the clan's spirit fruits as a child, you had this same expression, hiding behind your mother and not daring to come out."

Leng Qingshuang wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

With the Seal on the wind spirit bead released and the Feng Clan Bloodline within her activated, her memories had all returned!

But after three hundred years of being accustomed to a cold and frosty personality, how could she stand her father airing her dirty laundry like this?

Chen Yan, however, listened with great interest from the side.

So Revered Master was actually this mischievous and cute when she was little?

Compared to her current cold and ethereal appearance, the contrast was simply explosive!

He couldn't help but imagine the scene; it was quite funny~~~

Overwhelmed with shame, Leng Qingshuang plunged into Chen Yan's embrace, burying her face in his chest and refusing to look up for anything.

Too embarrassing!

To have this Rebellious Disciple hear about her childhood embarrassments!

Holding the warm and soft beauty in his arms, Chen Yan's grin almost reached his ears.

Revered Master actually threw herself into my arms voluntarily!

[Revered Master's background revealed, Favorability +2!]

[Leng Qingshuang Favorability: 99/100!]

[Mission completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Wind Spirit Sword Manual!]

[Wind Spirit Sword Manual: Imperial Rank High Grade; records three sets of peerless Wind Spirit Sword Formations! Power is doubled when used with Wind Spirit Intent!]

Awoo~

Favorability is at 99!

Whether I can go all the way is just one step away!

As for the Wind Spirit Sword Manual from the mission reward?

Isn't this thing just prepared for my Revered Master~

After all, I don't have a Wind Spirit Intent Domain!

Seeing the two of them leaning against each other, a gratified smile appeared in Feng Ming's eyes.

He knew his remnant soul couldn't last much longer.

Though he was reluctant, the vengeance for the Feng Clan's destruction and the responsibility of protecting the wind spirit bead had to be passed to these two young people.

Looking at Chen Yan, he felt like his home-grown cabbage was being gobbled up by a pig.

But this kid was indeed sincere toward his daughter.

He was someone worthy of trust.

Feng Ming's figure began to gradually become transparent.

Sensing something was wrong, Leng Qingshuang lifted her head from Chen Yan's arms. Seeing her father dissipating, her expression changed drastically.

"Father! What's happening to you?"

Feng Ming smiled and shook his head: "Silly girl, don't be sad. Father should have left long ago."

"To be able to see you one last time before leaving is a blessing from the heavens."

He turned to look at Chen Yan, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp.

"Kid, come here."

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment and quickly stepped forward.

Feng Ming raised his hand, and a green light entered his forehead.

Chen Yan's whole body jolted instantly.

He felt a majestic Law of Wind pour into his mind, intertwining and fusing with the spiritual energy in his body.

"This is my Feng Clan's cultivation method for Wind Spirit Intent."

Feng Ming's voice rang in his ears: "Although you don't have the Feng Clan Bloodline, I see that your physical strength is actually not inferior to my Feng Clan Disciples."

"Whether you can comprehend Wind Spirit Intent depends on your own fortune."

Chen Yan's eyes widened, his heart filled with excitement!

Is... is he passing on his power?

Buzz~

At his forehead, the wind-fixing bead suddenly trembled, absorbing that wisp of the Law of Wind entirely!

[Strong desire to become stronger detected from the Host. Issuing new mission: I Will Protect My Revered Master!]

[I Will Protect My Revered Master: Achieve True Spirit Soul Transformation with perfect aptitude; Mission Completion Reward: Dao Body Differentiation!]

Perfect Soul Transformation is the True Spirit!

At this moment, Chen Yan had no time to pay attention to the System mission.

In his mind, the cultivation method for Wind Spirit Intent became increasingly clear under the guidance of the wind-fixing bead.

By the time the last wisp of the Law of Wind merged into the wind-fixing bead, he had already gained basic mastery of Wind Spirit Intent!

Feng Ming's figure grew fainter and fainter.

He took one last look at Leng Qingshuang, his eyes full of paternal love.

"Treat my daughter well."

As his voice faded, his figure completely vanished.

Leng Qingshuang stared blankly at the spot where her father had disappeared, tears welling up again.

Chen Yan heart-achingly pulled her by the shoulders and gave her a light kiss on the forehead: "Revered Master, I will walk the road ahead with you!"

This time, there was no nonsense in his heart.

Some sorrows require time to heal.

[Favorability +1!]
