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

After saying that, she immediately put on a stern face, "You little brat! Why are you so disobedient? Didn't I tell you to run away if there was any danger? Why are you only coming out now? Did you not take what I said to heart?"

Feng Ning immediately felt a headache coming on, and pretended to be in pain, leaning to the side. "Oh no, I can't take it anymore, my head hurts, I'm seriously injured."

Ye Yuan casually raised his arm and let her hand rest on his arm.

Grandpa Hai was so frightened that he dared not say another word and hurriedly went over with a concerned look on his face.

"Come back with your grandfather right now, and we'll find a doctor to take a look at you, you disobedient girl!"

Neither of them moved an inch.

Grandpa Hai then realized something was wrong and turned to look at Ye Yuan standing to the side.

"who are you?"

Feng Ning quickly looked up, "Patriarch, this is my senior brother. I encountered a monster rampage inside, but fortunately my senior brother was nearby and arrived in time to save me."

Grandpa Hai looked over with a probing gaze.

Ye Yuan nodded almost imperceptibly, without saying a word.

"You have a senior brother?"

Feng Ning, supporting Ye Yuan's arm, said as they walked out, "Yes, it was a coincidence that we ran into Senior Brother."

The old man looked at Ye Yuan with gratitude.

"Then thank you very much, young man."

"No need," Ye Yuan replied coldly.

Feng Ning quickly took over the conversation, "Patriarch, my senior brother is a bit cold and doesn't like to talk. You can ask me if you have any questions."

Grandpa Hai didn't press further about their relationship; instead, he inquired about her experiences over the past three days.

Feng Ning didn't hide anything from him and simply told him what had happened.

Just as they were talking about meeting the other members of the Hai family, they had already left the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

There was a large group of people waiting outside.

Feng Ning spotted Hai Lingruo standing in the crowd at a glance, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Hai Lingruo also saw her, her eyes filled with undisguised resentment.

She chuckled lightly, "Miss Hai, why are you looking at me like that? Are you feeling guilty?"

Hai Lingruo was startled and quickly composed herself, replacing her expression with a smile.

"What is my sister saying? I don't understand."

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow, seeing her guilty look, it was indeed her doing.

She nodded and responded with a smile, "It's okay if you don't understand, as long as you understand it in your heart."

Listening to the two exchanging cryptic words, everyone was quite puzzled.

Grandpa Hai looked at this one, then at that one, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Hai Lingruo hurriedly stepped forward and took the arm of Grandpa Hai, "Grandfather, you're finally back! Ling'er was so worried."

Grandpa Hai smiled and said, "Fortunately, your sister is alright."

Feng Ning sneered and ignored her pretense.

There's no evidence for this, so there's no point in her saying it now; it's not worth the effort.

But she remembered this grudge and would get her revenge someday.

The emperor then spoke, "Those who could come out have basically come out; they should all go back now."

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed and started walking back.

Along the way, Grandpa Hai had the accompanying physician carefully examine Feng Ning's body. Only after confirming that she had no major problems did he breathe a sigh of relief.

But he still gave her the elixir he had treasured.

"Feng Ning, from now on you must listen to your grandfather. Don't rush into danger. Protecting yourself is the most important thing, understand?"

Feng Ning pushed the pills back, saying, "I've already taken the pills. I just need to recover slowly from now on. I don't need to take any more."

Grandpa Hai glared at him, "Then you can keep it for now, you'll need it someday."

Feng Ning shook her head and turned to walk towards Ye Yuan.

Grandpa Hai sighed, but ultimately said nothing and put the pills away again.

This scene was witnessed by Hai Lingruo, who was not far away.

She was so angry she gritted her teeth.

She was poisoned and seriously injured before, but her grandfather didn't give her that pill. Now he just gave it to that little bitch so easily!

She knew that her grandfather had a life-saving pill, a fifth-grade pill.

In the entire Holy Feather Kingdom, the most skilled alchemists are only at the fifth rank, and can be counted on one hand, so fifth-rank pills are priceless and unavailable.

But my grandfather was willing to give that ugly freak the only life-saving elixir he had!

She was the granddaughter her grandfather had doted on for over a decade, and this little bitch stole his affection the moment she arrived. Why?

The hatred in her heart surged wildly.

She was determined to make Feng Ning suffer a terrible death!

When the group returned to Hunyuan City Square, a large crowd had already gathered there.

An unexpected incident occurred during this family competition, but the results will still be announced.

All the disciples handed over the beast cores they held for inspection.

Of course, these beast cores will not be confiscated; whoever killed them will keep them.

In the end, the Kou family ranked first, the Liu family second, and the Hai family third.

The head of the Kou family looked at the other two family heads with a smile, "You flatter me, you flatter me."

Patriarch Liu also smiled and congratulated them, "The Kou family is indeed well-established, and their disciple is quite capable."

Old Master Hai just smiled and said, "Congratulations to Patriarch Kou for winning first place once again."

"The children of the Liu and Hai families are also quite good; keep up the good work."

As everyone was talking, they heard a pretty woman's voice.

"Wait!"

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then Feng Ning stepped forward and said, "My beast core hasn't been examined yet, how come the results are being announced already?"

Everyone stared in shock.

"Hasn't it been checked yet? Why?"

Someone recognized her and immediately explained, "You don't know this, do you? This is the second young lady of the Hai family. She just came out of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts this morning. The beast cores of everyone else were counted yesterday, but she only came out this morning, so there was no time to count them."

Everyone immediately realized what was going on.

Steward Liu turned his head and glanced at the person who was tallying the beast cores of the Hai family disciples. "Is what she said true?"

The man was sweating profusely. "It's...it's definitely not registered."

Steward Liu turned his head coldly, "Neglecting your duties, go down and receive your punishment."

The man bowed respectfully and quickly ran away.

Steward Liu looked at Feng Ning again, "Take out your beast core."

Feng Ning nodded and began taking out beast cores from her spatial storage. After she finished, she nodded again.

"that's it."

Everyone was stunned.

He watched in disbelief as she pulled out a huge pile of things, including several second-tier beast cores. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

So many beast cores, and you're saying that's all?
