Chapter 448: Her Reason for Leaving
Chapter 448: Her Reason for Leaving
After spending about an hour in Zhong Li’s store looking for the perfect treasure for Yuan, she left the place with a couple of new treasures in her storage ring.
“Are you coming back to the Golden Phoenix Bazaar?” Zhong Li asked Feng Yuxiang right before she left the place.
“No, I am not,” she said.
“I have more important things to do now.”
“I see…” Zhong Li nodded.
After leaving Zhong Li’s store, Feng Yuxiang didn’t leave the city and proceeded to enter the next store.
“You Quan, I am here to collect the debt you owe me when I helped you set up your store!” Feng Yuxiang said to the owner of that store.
“Madam Feng! Where have you been?” You Quan asked after seeing her.
“That doesn’t matter. I didn’t come all the way here just for you to question me.” Feng Yuxiang said.
You Quan sighed in a tired manner before speaking, “What do you want from me? If it’s within my power—”
“I don’t need your help. It’s your treasure that I need.”
“My treasures?” You Quan looked at her with wide eyes.
In the entire Golden Phoenix Bazaar, Feng Yuxiang had the best store with the most valuable treasures. Why would she need something from his store that was small and worthless in comparison?
“What kind of treasure?” He then asked.
“I don’t care as long as it’s unique.”
“Unique…?” You Quan raised his eyebrows.
Then he said, “Why don’t you look around the store? If you want something, just let me know.”
Feng Yuxiang nodded and proceeded to spend another hour in this store looking for treasures.
“Are you sure you only want these treasures?” You Quan asked her afterward.
“Yes, and I will consider your debt cleared for these treasures,” she said.
“Deal!” You Quan did not hesitate and immediately responded.
The treasures Feng Yuxiang took from his store were worth at least a few hundred million gold coins, yet You Quan seemed eager to give these treasures to her as long as it cleared his debt.
One can only imagine the reason being that You Quan’s debt was actually worth more than the treasures Feng Yuxiang took.
After leaving You Quan’s store, Feng Yuxiang continued to enter other stores to collect peoples’ debt in the form of their treasures, and it seemed like every person in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar was in some sort of debt for some reason.
By the time Feng Yuxiang was done collecting their debts, she had acquired over 100 treasures from the Earth-grade to the Heaven-grade, and she had even managed to obtain a Divine-grade treasure that was worth billions of gold coins.
“The Young Master will definitely praise me once he sees this many treasures…” A wide grin appeared on Feng Yuxiang’s face as she imagined the scene in her mind.
However, her imagination was quickly interrupted by a voice.
“Madam Feng!”
A man’s voice resounded, wiping the smile off Feng Yuxiang’s face.
She turned around to see a middle-aged man and a group of guards behind him.
“What do you want, Jin Yupu? I have already decided to leave the city, and I most likely won’t be coming back here,” she said to him.
“You won’t be able to convince me to come back,” she added.
“I know… I am not here to convince you to stay in the city. I just want to know your reason for leaving. Did something happen? Was it caused by the city? Or was it caused by my family? I won’t be able to sleep properly without an answer, and I haven’t been able to sleep a full night since you closed your store.” Jin Yupu said to her.
Feng Yuxiang’s departure was a huge blow to Phoenix City’s income since her store earned them more money than everyone else combined— for the last few hundred years, and as the lord of the city, it was only natural for Jin Yupu to want to figure out why she left.
If it was his city that chased her away, he’d reform the city from the bottom to the top. If someone in his family had offended her, he’d disown that person. And if someone in the city had offended her, he’d give that individual a public execution— that was how much Jin Yupu valued Feng Yuxiang’s presence.
“If I tell you, will you stop bothering me?” Feng Yuxiang said.
“I promise.” He nodded.
Feng Yuxiang took a deep breath and then said, “I have found someone I want to serve— a Master. And I am currently following him right now. Sooner or later, we’ll leave the Lower Heavens. This is why I cannot stay here anymore.”
“What….?” Jin Yupu and everyone there looked at her with wide eyes.
Feng Yuxiang, the number one expert in Phoenix City had abandoned her priceless store not because someone had offended her but because she lowered her head for someone else, becoming their servant? How could that even be possible? Surely, they must be dreaming.
“A-Are you serious, Madam Feng? Nobody offended you, causing you to leave the city?” Jin Yupu was clearly in disbelief.
After all, there was no way that a peak Spirit Grandmaster like Feng Yuxiang could become a servant for another person, especially if they consider her arrogant and prideful demeanor.
“Don’t look down on my Young Master. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime genius who will surely dominate the Nine Heavens one day, and I want to be there to witness it. Although I had a different goal when I first met him, after spending some time with him, I have decided that I want to follow him to the end.” Feng Yuxiang said.
“Now that you know why I am leaving, you can stop bothering me. See ya.” Feng Yuxiang then flew into the sky before disappearing into the distance, leaving Jin Yupu and the others speechless.
“I have acquired more treasures than I’d anticipated. Hopefully, this means the Young Master will praise me more… Hehe…” Feng Yuxiang chuckled to herself as she sped back to Long Chen City.
