32: Fourteen years old, coming-of-age ceremony
Hui Lan and Qingqing said simultaneously.
"Withdraw!"
Ye Xinyu waved her hand, her tone resolute.
"Yes, Empress."
The two women looked at each other, then glanced at the Young Master who was currently enduring the pressure, and helplessly lowered their heads, saying respectfully.
Then, with uneasy hearts, they slowly withdrew.
This time, they had managed to escape a disaster.
However, the Young Master was definitely in for a miserable time.
"Mother, you aren't playing for real, are you?!"
Qin Feng trembled all over, and runes began to emerge, pressing down on his body.
Ancient runes caused his Inscription Realm cultivation to be suppressed tightly.
Every inch of his flesh and blood was enduring immense pressure.
"Not bad, your foundation in the Inscription Realm is very solid."
"You haven't wasted the last three years."
As these words fell, the pressure emanating from Ye Xinyu slowly dissipated.
She was just testing whether Qin Feng had been slacking off over the past three years.
Fortunately, he was much stronger than she had expected.
Especially that sturdy physique of his; it was far stronger than she had been at his age.
"Mother, are you not angry anymore?"
Qin Feng smiled slightly.
"Was I angry?"
"You little brat, next time you go out, you must tell me where you are going!"
"You just left a handwritten decree and didn't say anything."
"I really want to give you a beating."
As she spoke, she took out the handwritten decree Qin Feng had left behind, which only had a few scribbled words on it.
Along with a portrait of the Qingqiu Empress.
"Mother, Xiao Feng knows he was wrong."
"Next time, I will definitely explain clearly."
Qin Feng admitted his mistake frankly.
While speaking, he grabbed his mother's arm and shook it continuously, appearing entirely innocent and cute.
"Enough. Since I, the Empress, said you would be punished, you naturally must be."
"Otherwise, where would my Imperial Authority be?"
"Go, copy the Original True Solution one hundred times for your mother."
The Qingqiu Empress slapped Qin Feng, sending him into the Mansion.
Then, a sheet filled with inscriptions of the Original True Solution appeared before him.
The Original True Solution: God-Guiding Chapter.
Every inscription was abstruse and difficult to understand; upon just one glance, Qin Feng felt a bit dizzy.
"Ah...!"
"Copying homework?"
"I didn't expect that after coming to this world, I would still face this kind of punishment."
Qin Feng opened his mouth wide and roared in his mind.
Copying texts.
How many years ago was that?
"Whoosh...!"
Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone appeared before him.
"Don't even think about leaving until you've finished copying it one hundred times."
At the same time, his mother appeared beside him and affirmed firmly.
"I... I don't understand it!"
"It's fine, I'll teach you."
"..."
The Original True Solution is not something just anyone can see.
Let alone copy one hundred times.
If this sheet of the Original True Solution were thrown into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it would be enough to make countless titans fight until they were broken and ruined.
The reason the Qingqiu Empress made Qin Feng copy it one hundred times was that she wanted him to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Original True Solution.
To help him improve his Inscription Realm faster.
So he could carve his own inscriptions.
However, the Qingqiu Empress did not know that Qin Feng already had nine supreme bones in his body.
That was enough for him to comprehend for some time.
...
Time flows like a song, years pass by.
In the blink of an eye, with only three days left, Qin Feng would be fourteen years old.
This morning, Qin Feng finally walked out of the Mansion.
He had spent eight years copying the text one hundred times.
"Creak...!"
Pushing open the door, Qin Feng smelled the air on the lawn and couldn't help but spread his arms:
"I'm finally out, that was miserable."
"Copying texts for eight years, I almost cracked."
His voice was low, deep, and rich with magnetism.
At the same time, a youthful body, handsome face, and fair skin shimmered in the morning light.
His eyes, like the stars and the sea, were sparkling like gems.
Wearing a white precious garment, his three thousand strands of black hair were draped over his shoulders and hung straight down.
Having copied the Original True Solution for eight years, Qin Feng's understanding of runes had risen to another level.
While copying, Qin Feng was also comprehending the runes within his supreme bones.
Combining the two actually allowed Qin Feng to comprehend the Treasured Art of the supreme bones even faster.
In these eight years, he had comprehended four great Treasured Arts.
His strength had improved significantly.
"Alright, stop whining."
"In three days, it will be your coming-of-age ceremony."
"I, the Empress, have already sent the news to those good sisters of yours."
"They should be arriving soon."
Behind Qin Feng, his mother's voice came.
In the Qin Family, fourteen is considered adulthood, and one can marry and have children.
Many fourteen-year-old boys and girls enter the marriage hall on the day they come of age.
The coming of age of the Son of the Emperor would surely cause a huge stir in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Even the Ten Great Empresses could not sit still.
After coming of age, Qin Feng could make decisions about many things.
For example, who to betroth to or who to take as a Dao Companion.
"Mother, are Sister Bai and the others coming too?"
"Won't they have to bring me gifts then!"
"Hehe!"
Qin Feng chuckled.
It had been eight years, and the Ten Great Empresses had all visited Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng had been busy copying the Original True Solution and could not play with them.
Among them, Empress Bai Moyun of the Underworld had visited the most frequently.
She had also sent many gifts.
"Right, is Father coming back?"
Qin Feng asked with a slightly dim expression.
He was about to come of age, yet he still hadn't been able to see his father.
Moreover, his mother never told him about his father's whereabouts or deeds.
This made his father a mystery in the depths of Qin Feng's heart.
"He cannot come,"
"However, your father has sent me a message saying he has prepared a gift for you."
"A super big gift."
Ye Xinyu said.
"Sigh!"
"I don't lack gifts, I just want to see Father's face."
Qin Feng sighed and walked out of the Mansion.
Watching Qin Feng's figure, Ye Xinyu shook her head helplessly.
"It's all the fault of those damn forbidden zones, the ominous, and that Red-Haired Monster."
"Sooner or later, I will level the Ten Great Forbidden Zones."
"And the Other Realm too."
Ye Xinyu clenched her delicate hands and muttered in her heart.
If not for the forbidden zones, the child's father wouldn't have failed to return even by the time Qin Feng came of age.
If not for the ominous, she wouldn't have been unable to make further progress.
And the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths wouldn't have been unable to enter the Immortal Realm.
...
"Hui Lan!"
Arriving outside the Mansion, Qin Feng habitually called out to the Void Realm.
"Young Master, I am here."
The Void Realm rippled, and a sixteen-year-old girl appeared instantly.
Hui Lan was wearing a light yellow dress, her face delicate and refined, gentle and elegant.
Seeing the grown-up Young Master, she couldn't help but blush.
He was too handsome!
How could there be someone so handsome?
No wonder... the Ten Great Empresses had all come to propose marriage.
"Young Master, you've worked hard, bearing everything for me and Qingqing."
Hui Lan bowed deeply and said.
"Sister Lan, it was me who dragged you two out in the first place."
"Besides, Mother punishing me is for my own good."
Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively.
