Leading the entire sect to victory, this useless girl amazed the world of cultivation!

"I want to retreat and break through!" After returning to her own palace, Feng Ying turned to Xia Xingzhi and said, "For the time being, you should have some fun by yourself. Don't run around. The Imperial Palace is not a safe place, except for my palace."

Xia Xingzhi said quietly, "You are too impatient. You may not be able to break through if you retreat now."

Feng Ying sneered, "If I retreat now, I may not be able to break through, but if I don't retreat now, I may not have the opportunity to retreat in the future."

"what for?"

"Haha, when we first met, didn't you see that blood-red Heaven-shaking Seal that nearly beat me into a pulp?"

"..." Xia Xingzhi's face darkened slightly, "You mean, the Heaven-Flipping Seal is..."

"It's not him, but his beloved girls."

"……what?"

Feng Ying smiled upon seeing Xia Xingzhi's bewildered expression. She turned around and sat down on the jade table, crossed her legs, and sneered, "Are you wondering why the Qianyun Fengdi I'm talking about is different from the Qianyun Fengdi you've heard of?"

Xia Xingzhi was no longer surprised by Feng Ying's bold and unrestrained actions, so he simply sat down beside her and said softly, "Well, I'm a little surprised."

"Hahahaha, back then... I was the one who spread all those nice things." Feng Ying smiled slyly. "Those stories about deep affection and loyalty, deep love for my mother, his obsession with her and therefore his refusal to appoint a queen, his desire for his son to become a successful person, and therefore his harshness towards his only concubine, all because of his deep love and harsh criticism, etc., were all spread by me. If I hadn't done so, and occupied a favorable position of public opinion, I'm afraid I'd be stuck now... His confidantes, illegitimate children, and so on, would have devoured me one by one."

Xia Xingzhi had been silently paying attention to Feng Ying's expression. Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes, and there was even a chill that penetrated her heart.

Xia Xingzhi suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.

Because this Feng Ying was not the Feng Ying she knew...

He sighed softly, and after a long moment, he said gently, "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh... It's kind of scary when you laugh like this."

Feng Ying was stunned for a moment, then slapped Xia Xingzhi on the back, almost sending him flying on the spot.

"Who are you calling scary?"

Xia Xingzhi bared his teeth for a long time and said unhappily, "I just care about you."

Feng Ying raised her eyebrows: "Haha, do you think I need your concern?"

Xia Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly: "Yes, yes, no need. Then I guess you won't need me to treat you next time, right?"

Feng Ying lost her temper instantly after hearing this. She curled her lips and said, "As a man, you're not worthy of being a man, resorting to such threats all the time."

Xia Xingzhi finally understood what it meant to be difficult to raise a woman and a villain.

Although Feng Ying is not an ordinary woman, she has a soul as strong as a mountain, strategy as deep as the sea, and a deceptive, beautiful face.

Cough cough cough, what are you thinking about.

Xia Xingzhi chased away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and said, "Are you really planning to retreat and break through?"

"Yes."

"What if you succeed in breaking through? What are you going to do?"

"What do you say?"

Feng Ying's eyes flickered, and the brilliance in that moment made Xia Xingzhi's heart beat even happier. He looked away somewhat unnaturally and said, "If you want to retreat and break through, I know a good place. It's an ancient secret realm, but it's dangerous..."

"Go!" Before Xia Xingzhi could finish his words, Feng Ying couldn't wait to speak, "I'll go!"

Xia Xingzhi had a very complicated expression and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"

Feng Ying waved her hands: "Why would I lie to you? You saved my life. If you wanted to kill me or harm me, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to save me."

Xia Xingzhi's eyes dimmed slightly: "What if I... have other plans?"

Feng Ying smiled even more happily: "Then at least I'm safe until your plan comes true, right? I said go, so stop nagging. Pack up and let's go!"
