Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mu Jiuzhou poked the little girl’s plump cheeks and asked casually, “Little bun, do you have a master yet?”
Infatuated, little Feng Wu stared at him and shook her head.
Mu Jiuzhou found this chubby little girl the most adorable creature. He chuckled, which was very unlike his usually awe-inspiring self. “In that case, do you want to be my pupil, little one?”
He had the cleanest smell in the world, so elegant that it felt like a crime to even think about defiling him.
A delicate fragrance of plants surrounded him, so refreshing that she couldn’t help but want to move closer.
Little Feng Wu clenched her fists in excitement, but she managed to keep her composure and asked, “Are you very capable?”
Mu Jiuzhou rose to his feet and stood ramrod straight. With his hands crossed behind his back, his long, wide sleeves hung down his sides. He looked every bit like what Feng Wu imagined an immortal to be.
Standing up on her short legs, Feng Wu craned her neck to look up. To her, the teenager was so majestic and powerful that he seemed to have the whole world under control.
Looking down at little Feng Wu, Mu Jiuzhou said casually, “Little girl, my name is Mu Jiuzhou. ‘Jiuzhou’ as in ‘nine regions 1 .'”
Little Feng Wu said in amazement, “Wow, that’s what we call our continent! What an awesome name!”
Mu Jiuzhou crouched down, held the little girl by her chubby short arms, and met her gaze, his eyes twinkling like the brightest stars. “That’s because your master here named all the nine provinces of this continent. Understand?”
Little Feng Wu hadn’t understood back then, but she did later.
Her beautiful master used to be the supreme ruler of this continent of nine provinces, but he perished and turned into a soul which lived in her Dragon and Phoenix Spiritual Ring.
Feng Wu used to ask him what happened, but her beautiful master only replied in a mysterious tone that she would find out when she grew up.
Feng Wu knew that it had to be an epic, soul-stirring story, but she would only learn about it after her beautiful master deemed her capabilities worthy of the telling.
She smiled bitterly all of a sudden. This was no place for reminiscing. Her top priority now was to leave the mountain, refine the Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill, and wake up her beautiful master. After that…
“Master…” Feng Wu knelt down before the solitary figure lying on the White Jade Ice Bed. She kowtowed three times before rising to her feet, and reluctantly left the ring.
She ran down the slope of the mountain as fast as she could once she was out!
She knew perfectly well that both Jun Linyuan and Yu Mingye would spare no effort to hunt her down!
Any other person would have a hard time evading their pursuit, but since Feng Wu was able to steal the juice from them, she wasn’t going to be caught that easily either.
After five years of studying Frozen Forest, Feng Wu knew this area like the back of her hand. Thus, she picked a quiet meandering trail and snuck out of the forest…
Feng Wu was finally back in Northern Border City!
Looking up at the name of the city high above the grand city walls, Feng Wu clenched her fists in excitement!
She was back!
And in one piece!
Upon entering the city, Feng Wu didn’t go back home right away. Instead, she quickly got changed and put back on the normal outfit which befitted her status as the fifth daughter of the Feng family.
“Why, isn’t it Miss Feng —” Feng Wu had only just walked out of a hidden corner of an alley when someone waved at her in greeting.
It was a middle-aged woman carrying a basket.
“Auntie Wang, I see you’ve been grocery shopping.” Feng Wu greeted the auntie with a smile.
Feng Wu had been living in Northern Border City for five years, and all that time, she never —
