All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Kuang Qian stared at the severed arm on the ground, her eyes filled with coldness.

"Feng Ning, I will remember what happened today and repay you a hundredfold in the future."

Feng Ning smiled, "Then I must thank Miss Kuang for remembering me."

Even if Kuang Qian was furious, she had no evidence and couldn't do anything about it. She had originally planned to crush her with her strength, but she didn't expect that there was someone watching from the shadows.

Now is not the best time to take action, she glared at him hatefully.

"let's go."

Feng Ning watched them leave helplessly.

She wanted to deal with that woman right now, but she couldn't; she was no match for her and had to accept it.

If it were just Kuang Qian alone today, she would have preferred to just kill her.

But she was accompanied by several powerful figures, whom she couldn't defeat. Ye Yuan had just woken up, so she probably couldn't defeat him either. She could only endure it.

After Kuang Qian left, Ye Yuan said thoughtfully, "There's something wrong with that woman."

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"Her spiritual root is not her own and is not compatible with her, so she doesn't seem to be very happy every time she uses it."

Feng Ning asked in surprise, "Not your own? Can you really dig out your spiritual root and embed it in?"

Ye Yuan nodded, "It's possible, but it's a very insidious method that should have been banned long ago. How did she manage to switch it?"

Feng Ning frowned.

Kuang Qian's spiritual root is not her own.

It was only at this moment that she remembered that when the original owner was a little over five years old, she had lived among wolves.

It was because she met a woman who stole her spiritual root, killed the wolves protecting her, and sold her to Xuanwu City.

The more you talk about it, the more coincidental it seems.

Her spiritual root disappeared; Kuang Qian seized someone else's spiritual root.

She was sold to Xuanwu City, where Kuang Qian was the eldest daughter.

She suddenly sensed a conspiracy, but this was ultimately just speculation and needed to be verified.

She kept this matter in mind, planning to investigate it thoroughly after this matter was resolved.

That evening, Teng Rou came out.

She had already searched Xuanwu City thoroughly, looking for any places that seemed unsuitable. Those she hadn't looked for were simply places where the people weren't cooperating, and there was nothing she could do about them.

Feng Ning didn't pay much attention, keeping thinking about what happened today. She also thought that Teng Rou and Kuang Qian had always been enemies, and perhaps she knew something. So she pretended to ask casually.

"Senior Sister, Kuang Qian is running rampant in Xuanwu City like this. What if we can't complete our mission?"

Teng Rou raised an eyebrow. "You're worried about this?"

Feng Ning scratched the ground with a twig. "I didn't really care, but I just didn't like her arrogant attitude that she thought she was the only one who mattered in the world."

As she spoke, she turned her head with a burning gaze, "I heard you two are sworn enemies. Did you know her before?"

Teng Rou's thoughts drifted back to a distant past.

After a long silence, she finally answered, "Indeed, we know each other. You might not believe it, but originally, I was the young lady of Xuanwu City."

Feng Ning gasped in shock; she must have discovered some incredible secret.

"You and she are sisters?!"

Teng Rou smiled sarcastically, "Her? She dares to call me her sister?"

So what you mean is...?

She listened attentively, and perhaps because Teng Rou wanted someone to confide in, she really did tell her story in detail.

"I was very young then, probably only three years old. Back then, Xuanwu City wasn't named after Kuang, but after Teng..."

It turns out that the former city lord of Xuanwu City was Teng Rou's father.

This happened during a monster attack. Teng Rou's father died protecting the people of the city.

Kuang Qian's father was originally Teng Rou's father's subordinate. After Teng Rou's father passed away, he directly took over and became the new city lord of Xuanwu City, controlling the entire city.

Teng Rou's mother died early, and her father also passed away. As a three-year-old child, she naturally couldn't hold onto her position.

After that, Teng Rou was expelled from the city lord's mansion.

At that time, Teng Rou was three years old and Kuang Qian was eight years old.

But eight-year-old Kuang Qian made things difficult for Teng Rou at every turn, wishing she could kill him.

However, there were always a few kind-hearted people in Xuanwu City who, remembering the kindness of the former city lord, secretly helped Teng Rou.

She grew up slowly like this until she was ten years old.

She was exceptionally talented; at the age of eight, she unexpectedly awakened her spiritual root and was able to begin cultivating.

But thirteen-year-old Kuang Qian had not yet awakened to this, and she was furious, feeling that she had been humiliated.

He then forcibly awakened his spiritual root.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Her spiritual root was the worst; it was originally a wood spiritual root, but it was only a second-tier wood spiritual root.

She was instantly enraged and wished she could pluck Teng Rou's spiritual root for herself.

Teng Rou wasn't stupid either. Having spent several years struggling at the bottom of society, she was already able to sense danger.

When he realized someone was watching him, he ran away as soon as possible.

Kuang Qian's master, Fairy Tianwei, and the current City Lord Kuang are fellow disciples. The two are deeply in love and have been exchanging glances for a long time.

At such a young age, Kuang Qian already knew how to scheme for her own interests. She knew that she would have a better chance if Tian Wei was with her father.

So she conspired with that scumbag couple to kill her own mother, and then recognized Tianwei as her master.

The two then became even closer.

They often use the guise of bringing apprentices home to do shady things, and Kuang Qian is always the best bridge between them.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

It is said that Kuang Qian helped Tian Wei harm her own mother in order to get closer to her.

Tianwei certainly didn't want to lose such a medium, and she wholeheartedly nurtured her.

So after learning that her spiritual root was defective, she took a great risk and found someone who supposedly could help replace her spiritual root.

She personally helped Kuang Qian find a top-quality mutated wood-type spiritual root that was suitable for her and had its own poison attribute.

That's how Kuang Qian came to be.

Feng Ning gasped. According to her age, she was exactly five years old at the time!

Damn it, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?

"What about the person whose spiritual root was extracted?"

Teng Rou glanced at her, "I don't know, I only know that they took me away."

"But how do you know so many things? Are you sure they're true?"

Teng Rou gave a self-deprecating laugh. "I saw it all with my own eyes, what do you think?"

This is truly a wonderful thing; fate is truly mysterious.

“Someone secretly told me that the Kuang family was going to harm me, so I ran away early. But I was only eight years old at the time and had no ability to protect myself. I fainted after running a short distance.”

When I woke up again, I saw Tianwei personally digging out the spiritual root. It was also Tianwei who said she would give the spiritual root to her disciple.
