My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 227 Chen Feng

"......"

With Shangguan Yuyang's methods, she quickly discerned the ins and outs of the situation.

She waved a black mist, enveloping the captured cultivator.

"Splunk!"

The cultivator's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he collapsed to the ground.

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, his cheeks bruised.

He died on the spot!

"Three young boys and girls, along with a sword aura..."

To be able to kill Chilian with stored sword aura, it would require the strength of at least an Emperor-level expert!

It seems the situation is not simple.

After Shangguan Yuyang understood, she immediately left the Ancient Heavenly Realm, while her divine sense spread out in all directions...

At this moment, Gu Xiaoqi was leading Zhe Liang and Zhongren, quickly returning to Jing Nation Capital City.

They did not choose the same route they came by.

After obtaining Chilian's demon core, the three knew that they would be coveted, after all, attracting the attention of beings like Chilian was bound to be significant.

They took a detour upon leaving the Ancient Heavenly Realm.

The molten wilderness was vast, and one was as insignificant as an ant within it.

Without direction, one would definitely get lost in the molten wilderness.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoqi had exceptional talent, and the perception of the Fire Phoenix was powerful, so facing such a problem was not difficult.

Disappearing of the countless cultivators, accompanied by Zhongren and Zhe Liang.

Shangguan Yuyang hurriedly searched the surroundings but did not see the three people mentioned by the cultivator. She returned to her original route with a cold face.

Chilian was already dead.

This was the helper she had just found, and even the divine soul stone she had not had time to warm up shattered into pieces......

At present, the only option is to return to the capital city and plan carefully again!

...

As the sun rose higher, the scorching light caused the temperature of the molten wilderness to increase sharply, and the magma began to churn involuntarily.

Evaporating more hot streams.

No birds could fly here, and no living beings could survive!

On the edge of the molten wilderness, three figures were slowly advancing.

"Hoo!"

"We've finally arrived!"

Among the three, Zhe Liang had the weakest cultivation base. After a long journey, he leaned on his knees and gasped slightly.

After a day's walk, guided by Gu Xiaoqi, the three finally emerged from the molten wilderness.

They were heading in the opposite direction from their original route.

The journey was longer, and they had to endure the heat waves with their true qi along the way.

At this point, they were almost exhausted.

Only Gu Xiaoqi remained composed and calm, her voice as clear as a silver bell, laughing, "Are you tired from such a short distance? Are you still considered cultivators?"

"Even mortals are stronger than you two."

"......"

"Can they compare?"

"This is the molten wilderness, where the temperature is higher than a blacksmith's forge!"

"Yeah, do you think everyone is like you, a fire divine beast, not afraid of heat?"

Zhongren stepped onto flat ground, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

The ground here was black, baked by the high temperature of the molten wilderness all year round.

The temperature was not low either, but compared to the scorching heat of the molten wilderness, it was already considered cool!

Zhongren looked around, and in the distance was a dense forest, estimated to be over a hundred feet tall.

He pointed forward.

"That's it."

"Where there's a forest, there's water!"

"Little Qi, say less, conserve your energy. Let's hurry back to the capital city in one go, so that our big brother won't worry about us."

Gu Xiaoqi hugged her arms around her chest, hummed twice, and walked ahead.

Zhongren and Zhe Liang followed closely behind.

The ground gradually returned to its normal color, indicating that they were approaching their destination.

They no longer needed spiritual energy protection here.

The three hastened their pace and finally reached the forest.

"Rumble!"

The sound of flowing water echoed.

"It's water!"

Zhe Liang exclaimed in excitement.

And they quickly ran towards the front.

Gu Xiaoqi also followed closely behind. Despite her extraordinary talent, she was still in her childhood, and despite being able to endure high temperatures, she felt thirsty after walking for so long. As the two walked, there was suddenly a strange sound coming from the grass.

"Be careful!"

Zhe Liang grabbed Gu Xiaoqi and condensed his true qi to strike out with a palm.

"Bang!"

The grass burst open.

"Ouch!"

A person emerged from the grass, clutching his pants. Perhaps he was in too much of a hurry and stumbled, tumbling continuously until he finally hit a large tree and came to a stop.

Just as Zhe Liang released his strike, his true qi fortunately veered off course slightly; otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting, but lying down!

"Boom!"

The tree shook, and a fruit hit the person's head directly, splitting open on impact, and smearing jam all over his hair.

It was now visible that the person was a young man, slender in stature, dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair.

The orange jam splattered on his head making him look like he had a bald spot.

Although his face was handsome, it was filled with worry and despair.

Gu Xiaoqi and Zhe Liang looked at the young man sitting under the tree in surprise. Zhe Liang had initially thought it was an ambush or a wild beast.

But now, it seemed like he was just an ordinary person, a destitute traveler.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Gu Xiaoqi approached, her innocent and lovely face causing the man sitting on the ground to brighten up! He looked at Gu Xiaoqi, feeling an inexplicable closeness, as if the girl in front of him was someone extremely important to him...

Faced with Gu Xiaoqi's concern, he coughed twice and said, "I'm fine, Miss, don't worry. I'm Chen Feng, and I'm sorry for startling you earlier!"

As he spoke, he stood up and casually wiped his hair a few times with his hand, smoothing out his messy hairstyle stained with jam.

A chill ran down Gu Xiaoqi's spine. Suddenly, she recalled some things with the same color and appearance but different smells...

If it weren't for her upbringing that taught her to be polite to strangers, she almost couldn't hold back her urge to vomit.

She stood up abruptly, took two steps back, and frowned, saying, "What's wrong with you? Why were you hiding in the grass?"

...

"I... I had a stomachache and wanted to relieve myself here, but I didn't expect to see someone coming."

"I was panicked and... accidentally scared the young lady."

Chen Feng's face turned slightly red as he spoke.

If Gu Lan were here and heard what he said, she would immediately recognize who this person was...

In the fifth year of Jiaqing, rushing from the Ancient Molten Wilderness Heavenly Realm to Jing Nation, this route was as familiar as could be... He was the protagonist of the eunuch's book!

Chen Feng!

Unfortunately, he appeared too late.

And because of the butterfly effect, after Gu Lan intercepted many of his opportunities, the timeline and relationships of the characters in the book quietly changed...

Gu Xiaoqi looked at the orange jam on Chen Feng's head and imagined it, feeling a tickle in her throat and the urge to vomit.

She covered her mouth and ran back.

Too disgusting!

Continuing to listen, she might just throw up her dinner from last night!

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Zhongren walked over and said.

"That person just now was too disgusting."

"It seems like he also has some problems in his head."

"I asked him what he was doing, and he actually said... ugh!"

Gu Xiaoqi covered her mouth, looking uncomfortable.

Zhongren and Zhe Liang tilted their heads and looked at Chen Feng. Seeing the orange jam on his head, they instantly understood Gu Xiaoqi's thoughts.

"Let's not bother, let's go."

"Being alone in this desolate place, he's either a bad person or a fool... Our lord instructed us to return early and avoid unnecessary trouble."

Zhe Liang also spoke up.

Chen Feng had already stood up.

He had only stumbled just now and wasn't harmed by the true qi.

Seeing Zhongren and Zhe Liang, he also felt a sense of familiarity and closeness. He immediately stepped forward with a smile, ready to speak.

But Zhe Liang immediately waved his hand to stop him and said loudly, "Please stop!"

Chen Feng was frightened and stopped abruptly.

Zhongren frowned and said, "Forget it, let's not fetch water here. Let's endure a little longer and find another place."

"Let's hurry back to the capital city to find our eldest brother!"

Zhe Liang and Gu Xiaoqi both nodded in agreement, ignoring Chen Feng standing not far away and turned around to quickly leave.

Chen Feng opened his mouth, looking at the three people walking away, feeling very uncomfortable.

He clearly felt that these three people were very familiar, very intimate as if there was a deep connection between them, but just as he was about to approach them to talk, they all ignored him! Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

It felt like being abandoned like a child.

Chen Feng felt very uncomfortable as if he had been abandoned!

Why would it be like this?

Chen Feng recalled these years, feeling as if an invisible hand had been taking away some of his things, a feeling that had existed for a long time...

It was as early as when his cultivation was crippled by the elders of the family, and he angrily exclaimed, "Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river!"

Sometimes, even when it seemed like an opportunity, it ultimately didn't turn out as expected!

Chen Feng felt extremely depressed, but couldn't decipher it all.

Watching the direction the three of Gu Xiaoqi ran off, seemingly towards the Jing Nation's Capital City.

He gritted his teeth and followed!

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, felt his pocket, and suddenly remembered something important that seemed to have been forgotten...
