Feng Guangyao's face was ashen, his eyes filled with fury. "Feng Ninghe, if you hadn't secretly pulled strings, how could we have been disgraced in broad daylight!"
The matter was simply a humiliation.
It would only bring shame if word got out.
Feng Tongtong repeatedly nodded in agreement, afraid of her veil being pulled, and stayed far behind. "Exactly, if not for Feng Ninghe, how would we have lost our senses and been treated like puppets! You wicked woman who only knows how to use tricks!"
Feng Ninghe slightly raised her eyes, shifting her gaze to the few people in front of her, her cold eyes carrying a hint of mockery. "What can be done if your skills are inferior?"
This world was inherently ruled by the strong, with the weak being the vanquished.
Baili Yang's expression sharpened, and he said indignantly, "Feng Ninghe, the Feng family doesn't belong to you alone. How can you act so high-handedly here without explanation!"
Feng Ninghe smiled it away, coldly watching him. "Your father and mother have made no contributions to the Feng family all these years, and have even amassed considerable wealth. If you wish to enter the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, first return the compensation and wealth given by the Emperor of Li."
"You!"
Baili Yang's face turned grim. "How much! I will repay it for them!"
Feng Qingcheng busied herself, her delicate face showing a hint of apprehension. "Prince Zhenyang, isn't this a bit much? After all, this sum is not small, and I've already borrowed some spirit stones from you. I'm truly embarrassed to borrow more."
When his gaze fell upon Feng Qingcheng, Baili Yang's eyes softened, and he chuckled softly. "It's nothing. I am willing to do anything to help you."
The conversation between the two was clearly reflected in Feng Ninghe's eyes.
She leisurely crossed her arms, her expression cool. "Very well, since Prince Zhenyang is so generous, then pay another million spirit stones. I presume Prince Zhenyang is not lacking in such a sum."
A million spirit stones was no small amount.
Even the four great families of the Li Kingdom might not be able to afford it.
She was certain that Prince Zhenyang in front of her could not produce the spirit stones.
"You're asking for the moon!"
Baili Yang's eyes were filled with anger. "Didn't Uncle Feng already give you a lot of spirit stones? Why do you need so much?"
As Prince Zhenyang, he had a certain foundation.
Over the years, he had spent a considerable amount of spirit stones on elixirs to improve his cultivation, not to mention that he had already borrowed a lot of spirit stones.
At this moment, he truly couldn't come up with a million spirit stones.
Seeing Baili Yang's enraged embarrassment, Feng Ninghe disdained him, looking down from above. "The Emperor of Li was generous with the compensation, so naturally, some interest should be collected. In any case, if you want to enter the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, then pay another million spirit stones."
Feng Guangyao's face turned red with anger, a lump of frustration stuck in his chest, unable to rise or fall. "Feng Ninghe! You're extorting us!"
Feng Ninghe's expression was cool, and her exquisite face held a cold glint in her beautiful eyes. "If you can't pay the spirit stones, then get out."
With that, she turned and left, unwilling to engage further.
Baili Yang's eyes turned fierce, and he suddenly took out a handful of powder, forcefully scattering it towards Feng Ninghe.
As long as this powder touched Feng Ninghe, even a little, it would turn her to dust!
Seeing the powder about to touch Feng Ninghe, Baili Yang's face lit up with joy.
Today, he would surely perform well in front of Feng Qingcheng and let her know that he was the most reliable one.
However, before the powder could touch Feng Ninghe, she flicked her sleeve, and all the powder was scattered back towards them.
Baili Yang panicked, quickly dodging, and not forgetting to shout, "Run! The powder is highly poisonous, don't get sprinkled!"
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked and scrambled to dodge.
Feng Tongtong, whose cultivation had been crippled, couldn't run fast and got a lot of powder on her arm.
The hand that was sprinkled with powder felt as if it were burning, causing extreme pain.
She screamed in pain, "Ah! My hand!"
The people outside the mansion looked like dancing clowns, hopping and jumping.
Bang!
The mansion gate let out a dull closing sound.
Feng Ninghe walked away on her own, casually closing the mansion gate and setting up a formation.
Once the formation was set, the mansion gate could only be opened from the inside, not from the outside.
Not far away, two figures, one large and one small, were watching everything quietly from the shadows.
"Daddy, they're so funny."
Si Xin Xin's bright eyes were filled with amusement as she watched everything unfold.
Si Jianye's expression was cold, his narrow eyes already fixed on the departing figure...
"Feng Ninghe!"
Baili Yang roared hysterically, charging forward in a rage.
But he was blocked at the mansion gate.
Baili Yang pushed with all his might but couldn't open the mansion gate.
Feng Qingcheng sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Prince Zhenyang, you've worked hard today. We are in the wrong for not being able to pay the spirit stones, and there's nothing we can do."
Making a big fuss out of this wouldn't benefit them.
Baili Yang's gaze was dark, and he swept an unresigned glance towards the mansion gate. "This Feng Ninghe is truly arrogant. If she's not taught a lesson soon, it's unimaginable what she'll become!"
Di Wenbin gritted his teeth, suppressing the displeasure in his heart. "My father will be coming to the Li Kingdom soon. At that time, I will surely make Feng Ninghe pay!"
He remembered all the grievances he had suffered these past few days.
As the sole son of the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect, how could he endure such humiliation?
As for the Underworld King... the Underworld King must have been acting on a whim, otherwise, how could he have taken a liking to Feng Ninghe?
Perhaps soon, Feng Ninghe would be kicked aside, and they could bully her at will.
They didn't believe that someone as aloof as Si Jianye would take a liking to a lowly Feng Ninghe.
Feng Guangyao lowered the displeasure in his eyes and looked at everyone, warmly inviting, "I also purchased a house in the Li Kingdom as a private property. Why don't we all move there? I'll have someone prepare a meal, and we can all eat together."
Baili Yang was eager for more opportunities to spend time with Feng Qingcheng, so he naturally wouldn't refuse and quickly nodded in agreement. "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Feng."
Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
As soon as Feng Ninghe returned to Shi Wan, she heard a milky voice.
"Mama!"
Si Xin Xin's tender face was beaming with smiles, and she excitedly threw herself into Feng Ninghe's arms.
Looking at the small figure in her arms, Feng Ninghe generously took her little hand and led her forward quickly. "Come, Mama will take you to play."
Si Jianye strode forward, leading the way in front. "Follow me, Xin Xin will like the scenery there."
Feng Ninghe subconsciously raised her delicate eyebrows, but when her gaze fell on Xin Xin, all extraneous emotions vanished from her eyes, and her face softened.
The calm male voice carried an undeniable tone.
Old Man Xu stood stunned for a long time before finally choosing to follow.
Although he had some reverence for the Underworld King, this person was not unreasonable, not like the rumors said, that he would chop off heads at the slightest disagreement.
The rumored Si Jianye was cruel and capricious, and those who dared to provoke him had no chance of survival!
