Luo Jing didn't actually leave; he quietly hid in the shade of a tree to observe.

Just when Lei Zao's attacks seemed to have softened a bit, and before he could even nod in satisfaction, he heard Bai Huang's provocative words.

Luo Jing: "..." Let alone this hot-tempered thunder beast, even he himself would want to go up and personally kill Bai Huang!

This girl's ability to stir up hatred is truly getting better and better every day.

With a loud 'boom,' another bolt of lightning struck Bai Huang.

She was struck and fell face-first to the ground.

After a day of strengthening, she could feel that she had developed a certain resistance to Lei Zao's Silver Lightning.

If it used to take ten minutes to recover, now it only takes nine minutes.

"Come again!"

Her skin, tempered by the falling silver lightning, became increasingly resilient. Although it still felt incredibly smooth to the touch, Bai Huang knew that ordinary blades could hardly harm her anymore.

Having tasted success, Bai Huang became even more arrogant, jumping up from the ground and starting to provoke Lei Zao.

"Why did you chop it so weakly? Don't you really need to replace it with Lei Jing?"

With a 'boom,' a beam of lightning several times thicker than before struck her, and for a moment Bai Huang felt as if she was about to be electrocuted.

"Damn it!" Lei Zao realized he had gone too far after unleashing his attack. He took a step forward and rushed over to catch Bai Huang, who was about to fall.

"Lightning elemental power! Spin!" Who knew that with her last shred of reason, she shouted it out.

His body, which was leaning backward, suddenly straightened up by taking a step back and did not fall.

Lei Zao abruptly stopped in his tracks, then was horrified to discover that tiny arcs of electricity were crackling and dancing on Bai Huang's skin. Though small, they were as stubborn as Bai Huang herself, fearlessly charging towards the massive pillar of lightning.

The lightning arc shielded her from a wave of attacks, and taking this opportunity, she absorbed even more lightning-type profound energy into her body.

With bloodshot eyes, she stuck out her tongue and licked her chapped lips, looking like a monster tearing open the skin of the night, ready to wreak havoc.

"Tsk!" Her fingertips trembled as she slowly and laboriously stood up. "...This is the Silver Lightning Fall that you Thunder Beasts are born with! It's nothing special!"

Lei Zao stood silently for a while, then grinned and burst into laughter.

"Fine! You little brat, since you're so eager to be tortured, I'm not afraid of the person behind you messing with me. Today I'll make sure you can't even stand up and have to crawl on your knees!"

After he finished speaking, bolts of lightning shot fiercely towards Bai Huang.

The entire courtyard was filled with violent thunder, even more intense and fierce than yesterday's.

Feng Yu stood outside the door, once again being ruthlessly refused entry.

"She doesn't want to see me?" Feng Yu took a deep breath. "Fine, then I'll wait outside and see when she gets things done!"

He guessed that Bai Huang might be complaining that he hadn't recognized her in time.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's a memory from over a decade ago. Who can remember exactly what someone looked like from over a decade ago?

And so they waited until the setting sun bathed the earth in its golden light.

Feng Yu remained calm and stood quietly at the entrance of the Gu family's gate without moving.

As a result, many people knew that the Third Prince had stayed by the Gu family's side all day.

"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" Gu Xiao looked at him lazily. "My sworn sister is obsessed with cultivation and has no interest in you."

Feng Yu glanced at him coldly, then closed her eyes and continued cultivating on her own.

"Gu Xiao, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Feng Yu only opened her eyes again when a surprised and weary voice reached their ears.

"Huang'er!" A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he stood up immediately.

"Huang...er?" Bai Huang felt as if her hair had just been split in half, and then she was suddenly startled by Feng Yu, causing her head to throb with pain. "Your Highness, Third Prince, I don't think our relationship is that intimate, is it?"

There was a coldness in her eyes, and her distant gaze made Feng Yu feel a tightness in his chest.

"I...can we talk in private?" Feng Yu guessed that Gu Xiao was unwilling to say more, and only looked at Bai Huang with a gentle but pleading look.

Bai Huang was certain that she and Feng Yu were not familiar with each other, so she didn't really want to go.

"Master, have you forgotten about the Spirit Dream Beast?" Pu Pu's voice rang in his mind. "Could it be that he had a dream that made him stupid?"

Bai Huang was so engrossed in cultivation that she completely forgot that she had once given this Third Prince a good beating.

He immediately revealed a hint of guilt.

"Then... somewhere else is fine too." She changed her tune, then turned around and saw that Gu Xiao actually seemed to be trying to follow her. She immediately turned around and shouted, "You're not allowed to follow me!"

Gu Xiao stood there silently, his face ashen.

I found a secluded spot.

Feng Yu hurriedly asked, "I remember now, you are Huang'er, we knew each other when we were little, didn't we?"

Bai Huang's heart skipped a beat, and she silently cursed at this person for not following the rules, while still maintaining a cold expression on his face.

"I don't understand what you are saying."

She maintained a stern face, but her heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Bai Huang frowned suddenly. This fluctuation was not her own emotion, but rather the emotion of the original Bai Huang.

At that moment, Bai Huang suddenly had an incredibly terrifying guess.

She herself had never noticed that every time she saw Madam Bai, Feng Yu, or even Bai Wenxiao, her emotions seemed to be controlled, and she would always have various emotions that went against her own will.

For example, right now, seeing Feng Yu looking at her pitifully, she actually wanted to reach out and give him a hug.

It's as if... a part of the original 'White Phoenix's' soul still remains in this body.

Upon realizing this possibility, her face turned deathly pale.

"Huang'er, what's wrong?" Seeing her suddenly become absent-minded, Feng Yu was even more certain that she was the little girl from when she was a child. This was Bai Huang's way of showing that she was guilty.

"You are Madam Bai's daughter, aren't you? You told me when you were little that you were Madam Bai's daughter." Feng Yu gripped her shoulders tightly. "Why didn't you tell me? What about Bai Zhu? And why did you suddenly disappear before?"

Bai Huang was getting flustered by the barrage of questions, and the joy in Feng Yu's eyes was so obvious.

To eliminate any future trouble, she didn't mind lying once and playing the Mary Sue-esque Best Actor, Bai Huang.

She pursed her lips and brushed Feng Yu's hand away.

"Yes! I didn't do anything wrong."

Feng Yu's face lit up with ecstatic joy, but then he heard Bai Huang continue, "You don't know why I'm leaving?"

A dark glint shimmered in her eyes, captivating like swirling stars.

"Because... I found out ten years ago that I am the child of Madam Bai and Phoenix." She placed a hand on Feng Yu's shoulder, her voice unusually sorrowful: "Brother Feng Yu! We... are half-siblings!"
