Chapter 324 Eternal Night Star River 12
After leaving Taicang County, the group continued onward, finally reaching the edge of Lost Valley. This time, since Feng Xi and the others had arrived in a spacious and comfortable RV, they chose not to stay in an inn as usual. After some observation and discussion, they decided to set up camp on a flat area near a clear water source.
Considering Lin Yu's lack of self-defense, Feng Xi suggested that Liu Fuyi teach her some simple, practical spells to enhance her ability to defend herself in times of danger. However, Liu Fuyi had a ulterior motive: it would be even better if Mu Sheng could teach Lin Yu magic. Just as he was about to ask Feng Xi for this, she stopped him without hesitation, chiding him, "Ah Sheng is mine! How can you let him teach magic to another girl?" Mu Sheng blushed, his ears turning red. Mu Yao chuckled softly, and even Liu Niang joined in the joke, saying, "This silly boy, he's truly blessed!" Faced with the unanimous support of Feng Xi, Liu Fuyi resigned himself to his fate and began earnestly teaching Lin Yu the simpler techniques.
While Lin Yu was absorbed in learning magic, Feng Xi quietly unleashed her magical powers, easily breaking the valley's seal. Then, with a flash of her own, she swiftly entered the Lost Valley like a ghost, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Yingzhen, Zhaoxin, quickly show yourself!" Her clear call echoed throughout the valley, as if to awaken all the creatures slumbering within.
Yingzhen and Zhaoxin emerged from the darkness, delighted to discover that the seal separating them had been lifted. At that moment, joy surged like a tide, and they couldn't help but hug each other tightly, tears welling in their eyes.
"Thank you!" Yingzhen said with a sob, her voice full of gratitude.
At this moment, a blazing crimson fire suddenly roared towards Yingzhen. In an instant, the flames hit Yingzhen's body. She screamed in pain and then fell to the ground, writhing in agony. Her body was burned by the flames, causing her to suffer excruciating pain.
Zhao was extremely anxious. He wanted to rush forward to rescue Yingzhen without hesitation, but Feng Xi blocked his way.
"If you still want to stay together, just stay here honestly! As long as you can survive the torture of the red lotus fire, you should practice hard after returning to Qilin Mountain. Do more good deeds and accumulate merits in the future. If there is a next time, I will beat you to death!" Feng Xi warned sternly.
Zhaoxin gritted his teeth. Although he was extremely anxious, he knew that he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He could only watch Yingzhen struggle on the ground in pain, silently praying that she could survive this ordeal.
As time passed, the crimson fire within Yingzhen gradually weakened, eventually extinguishing itself completely. She lay weakly on the ground, her face as pale as paper, but her eyes still revealed a look of strength and unyielding determination.
Zhaoxin quickly ran to Yingzhen and gently helped her up. The two of them supported each other and slowly stood up.
"Thank you..." Zhao Xin thanked Feng Xi again, then turned and left with Ying Zhen. Their figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the distant sky. When they returned to the carriage, Mu Sheng stared at Feng Xi with a serious face and asked anxiously, "Xi Xi, where have you been? You made me so worried!"
Feng Xi was a little surprised by his sudden address. She stared at Mu Sheng with wide eyes and asked in confusion, "Why don't you call me sister today? Don't you call me that every day?"
Mu Sheng, however, remained expressionless, and replied in a slightly cold tone, "I don't want to call you that anymore. From now on, I only want to call you Xixi..."
Feng Xi just felt that Mu Sheng in front of her was a little strange, but she didn't think too much about it. She just replied casually: "Whatever you like!" After that, she ignored him.
At this moment, Mu Yao quickly walked over to Feng Xi, grabbed her sleeve tightly, and said in a panic, "Sister Feng, I always feel that something is wrong here. I just asked around, and the people in this town actually said that their relatives will be back tomorrow!"
After hearing this, Feng Xi gently patted Mu Yao's hand to comfort her, and then replied thoughtfully: "Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing. I have already dealt with the hidden crisis of this town, so let them continue to maintain this beautiful fantasy." Mu Yao nodded as if she understood, indicating that she accepted Feng Xi's explanation.
Seeing this, Lady Liu couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "Miss Feng, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to take something important. Isn't that the legendary Shangxuanyue?"
Feng Xi smiled and shook her head, denying it: "That's not the case."
Upon hearing this, Liu Niang's heart tightened and she quickly asked, "Then, when can we rescue my sister?"
Feng Xi looked into the distance with a determined gaze and said slowly, "Once we successfully obtain Shangxuanyue from Shengjing, we can return home and rescue your sister."
After hearing this, Liu Niang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded silently, and then fell silent. They arrived at Shengjing without incident. After arriving at Shengjing, they found an inn to stay in. Mu Yao asked, "Sister Feng, where is Shang Xuanyue?"
Feng Xi looked at the palace and said, "The Imperial Observatory!" Everyone exclaimed, "Isn't that in the palace?"
Feng Xi nodded. At this time, the young marquis also came to the inn. He saw Lin Yu at first sight and fell in love with her. Looking at Zhao Ruoshi who was courting him everywhere, Feng Xi said, "Is the opportunity to enter the palace here?"
Everyone turned around, their gazes focused in the same direction. A man was chatting and laughing with Lin Yu, his face filled with a cheerful smile. The laughter seemed infectious, filling the air with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
However, Mu Sheng, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face and asked coldly: "Can this person really lead us into the palace smoothly?" His voice was icy and chilling.
At this time, Feng Xi stepped forward and whispered, "Asheng, this man is your half-brother—Zhao Ruoshi, the current young marquis. Back then, Concubine Zhao, in order to ensure that her own son could ascend to the throne of Crown Prince, was afraid that your father's love for demons would be exposed, thus affecting her son's future. So, she did not hesitate to collude with Mu Huaijiang in secret and together cast the extremely vicious curse of worry on your father. Your poor mother, until her death, mistakenly believed that your father was unfaithful and despised her because of her demonic background. But the truth was absolutely wrong. Even though your father forgot the existence of you and your son, he was still desperately searching for answers until the last moment of his life, and he always thought of that one crucial person in his heart!"
Hearing this, Mu Sheng felt a raging fire burning in his chest, instantly engulfing his entire body. He could no longer suppress the rage that surged like a tidal wave, threatening to burst forth. His eyes widened, their pupils threatening to burst from their sockets. He stared fixedly ahead, his teeth clenched so tightly that the clacking could be heard. Then, a furious roar erupted from the depths of his throat: "I will personally rip that vicious old woman into pieces... This alone will not suffice to vent my hatred!"
Seeing this, Feng Xi quickly reached out to hold Mu Sheng, saying softly, "Don't worry, Ah Sheng. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely settle this score with her. Not only for the injustice your mother has suffered, but also for justice for the countless innocent lives on Qilin Mountain!"
At this time, Mu Yao also walked forward, looked at Mu Sheng with a guilty face, and said softly: "I'm sorry! Ah Sheng, it's all because of my father that you lost your mother. If it weren't for the mistakes he made back then, perhaps none of this would have happened." As she spoke, tears were already welling up in her eyes.
However, Mu Sheng shook his head firmly and comforted her, "Sister, this matter has nothing to do with you. Ever since I can remember, I know that you have always treated me as your own brother, taking care of me and protecting me everywhere. Therefore, all the sins should be borne by those evil people, not you. Don't worry, sister, I will do everything I can to seek justice for my mother and father!" After speaking, he clenched his fists tightly, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.
Feng Xi nodded slightly upon seeing this, expressing her agreement. "That's right, Ah Sheng, there will be a chance. We just need to wait patiently for the right time, and we will surely make those evildoers receive the punishment they deserve."
