Chapter 433 - Tell Me, Who Is Yan?
Chapter 433: Tell Me, Who Is Yan?
The king said sternly, “You haven’t succeeded the High Priest yet. You can’t take this risk.”
Feng Ling frowned and said, “My ability isn’t inferior to Master’s. By going, this is also a form of training for me.”
The king still objected firmly. “No.”
Feng Ling subconsciously puffed up her cheeks and glared at him.
The king lowered his eyes and didn’t look at her expression.
“No.”
Feng Ling decided not to look at him and turned to the High Priest.
The High Priest glanced at the king and said, “The person who turned this war around is very strong. Ling’er, don’t be stubborn.”
“I’m not being stubborn.”
Just as Feng Ling was about to say something, the king said to Feng Ling in a firm tone, “Little Ling’er, after the High Priest saves the Grand General back, treat him immediately.”
Even the High Priest’s tone became firm. “Do as the king says.”
After saying that, he gestured to his guardian. “Activate the altar ritual.”
The guardian immediately went to prepare.
The High Priest walked towards the altar.
Feng Ling stood there anxiously.
At this moment, the king walked up to her and tapped her forehead.
Startled, Feng Ling reflexively tilted her head back.
The king said, “Be obedient.”
Feng Ling: “…”
Was the king coaxing her like a child?
In the end, it was still the High Priest who did the ritual.
The High Priest brought the Grand General back when the sky was about to turn dark.
Looking at the unconscious Grand General and her master, who had exhausted too much energy and injured his foundation, Chu Luo gave each of them a pill to stabilize their energy. She quickly played the Phoenix Zither.
The zither music surrounded the High Priest and the Grand General with countless light spots. Amid the light spots, the injuries on the High Priest’s body could be seen slowly healing and scabbing.
The zither melody played by the altar until late into the night.
When Chu Luo put away the Phoenix Zither and stood up, she fell back because of her stamina.
Just as she thought that she was definitely in trouble, her body fell into a broad, strong, and slightly familiar embrace.
A strong sense of surprise surged in her heart.
This surprise made her body unable to withstand the burden and she lost consciousness.
When Feng Ling opened her eyes, she was already lying in her bedroom.
She quickly sat up in bed, lifted the blanket, and ran out.
She couldn’t be wrong about that familiar feeling. It must be her Yan.
When Feng Ling ran to the door of the bedchamber, she suddenly realized that she wasn’t wearing a coat and quickly stopped.
She turned around to put on her clothes, washed up, and walked out of the bedchamber.
She originally wanted to look for the king directly, but not long after she walked out, she heard people discussing.
“The Grand General is too powerful. He actually defeated the Black Devil Nation’s army again.”
“However, the Grand General was also seriously injured this time. I heard that he hasn’t woken up until now.”
Hearing this, Feng Ling felt a little strange. According to what she had given General last night, he should have woken up this morning.
At the thought of this, she decided to take a look first. She turned around and went to the Grand General’s residence.
When the people from the Grand General’s residence saw Feng Ling coming, they quickly reported to the head butler. The head butler ran out and respectfully welcomed her in.
As Feng Ling walked, she asked, “How’s the Grand General?”
“Priestess, the Grand General has been unconscious since he was sent back last night.”
When Feng Ling heard this, she didn’t ask further. She quickened her pace and went to the Grand General’s residence with the head butler.
Indeed, the Grand General was still lying there with his eyes tightly closed.
After Feng Ling walked over, she sat on the edge of the bed and read the Grand General’s pulse. Then, she bent down and approached his face to lift his eyelids to take a look. There was nothing abnormal. Feng Ling let out a strange ‘Eh?’ and turned around.
She had wanted to ask the head butler a few questions, but her nose almost bumped into the man standing behind her.
Feng Ling blinked a few times, a trace of joy quickly shooting out from her eyes. She stood up and jumped into the king’s arms.
The person whom he had placed on the tip of his heart suddenly pounced over. With the soft fragrance and warm jade in his arms, the king’s gaze instantly darkened. Although he didn’t know why she was so enthusiastic, he was happy to see such a thing happen.
“Yan.”
“Yan?”
The name Feng Ling called out made the king pause. A vicious aura quickly surged in his heart. He grabbed her waist and hugged her tightly. His voice was dark like a storm. “Tell me, who is Yan?”
“Uh?”
Feng Ling looked at him in confusion.
The familiar aura on him was right. Why did he ask that?
The king lowered his head and, seeing the confusion in Feng Ling’s beautiful eyes, the violent emotions in his body became even more intense.
He tightened his grip on her waist again and pressed his lips against hers.
Feng Ling looked at this handsome face that had darkened from anger and felt the temperature of his lips. Her mind went blank.
The touch of her lips was too tempting. The king looked at the person staring at him with wide eyes and an indescribable emotion suddenly flashed across his heart.
From the moment he saw the person in front of him, he had decided to raise her and make her his queen after she grew up.
He had always allowed her to maintain the purest heart in terms of relationships.
He couldn’t bear to let her be afraid of him. He didn’t even dare to show his brutal side in front of her.
However, he didn’t expect that his precious baby, who he had carefully protected, would fall for another man.
She was his. How could she fall for someone else!
At the thought of this, he increased his strength.
Feng Ling sensed his emotions and abruptly widened her eyes. In the next moment, her eyes were covered by a broad palm.
Unable to see anyone, the familiar sensation intensified.
It wasn’t until she was almost out of breath that he let go of her.
At the same time, she was hugged tightly.
Feng Ling was shocked by his rapid heartbeat.
A domineering voice came from above her head. “You are my queen. I forbid you to like others!”
Feng Ling was a little out of breath, so she didn’t answer him.
This made the king misunderstand.
He let go of her body and said forcefully, “No matter who you have in your heart, forget about him. Also, on the day you succeed the High Priest, we’ll get married directly.”
Without giving Feng Ling a chance to speak, he strode out of the door.
He wanted to get someone to make preparations for their marriage!
Feng Ling: “…”
Just as Feng Ling was about to chase after him, a moan suddenly came from behind. She quickly turned around and saw the Grand General slowly open his eyes.
“Grand General, you’re awake?”
The Grand General looked at the person standing in front of him and didn’t say anything.
Feng Ling was used to him never speaking in front of her, so she didn’t say anything. She raised her voice and called for the head butler standing outside the door.
She instructed, “I’ll give Grand General a prescription later. When the time comes, follow the instructions and gather these herbs. This medicine has to be taken by the Grand General for at least half a month.”
“Yes, Priestess.”
Feng Ling then said to the Grand General, “Then I’ll come and see you tomorrow.”
After saying that, she walked out of the room.
For the next few days, Feng Ling actually didn’t see the king.
Moreover, there were obviously many more guards around her bedchamber now.
Even wherever she went, a group of guards followed.
Feng Ling had a headache.
She simply went straight to the Treasure House and prepared to look for books of this type.
She stayed there for the entire day.
When the sky was about to turn dark, Feng Ling had just walked out of the Treasure House when she saw Feng Lan walking over.
When she saw Feng Lan, Feng Ling narrowed her eyes.
She could feel that Feng Lan’s cultivation was much deeper than before.
This situation made her heart tighten.
As if what she’d done before hadn’t changed anything.
“Sister, you’re indeed here.”
Feng Ling looked at Feng Lan, walked over, grabbed her wrist, and took her pulse.
Feng Lan said with a smile, “Sister, your antidote is very useful. My poison has been neutralized.”
The poison in Feng Lan’s body was indeed gone.
Feng Ling wasn’t checking for this. Instead, when she grabbed her wrist, she quietly inserted a trace of red light.
After a moment, she indeed discovered a very powerful black energy fluctuation somewhere.
Feng Ling looked up at Feng Lan and said, “Your poison has indeed been neutralized.”
With that, she let go of her hand.
Feng Lan continued smiling and said, “Sister, let’s go see the Grand General together.”
“It’s already this hour. Let’s go tomorrow.”
“Alright then.”
Feng Lan seemed a little disappointed. She rubbed her stomach and said, “Then I’ll accompany you to eat.”
Feng Ling said very casually, “I still have to go to Master’s place. You can come with me.” She wanted to ask her master if he knew under what circumstances a person would return to a past life after experiencing a future life. At the same time, she wanted to ask how she could change her fate.
She could feel that she couldn’t change the overall situation of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies at all.
Indeed, Feng Lan immediately shook her head. “I’m not going. If you go to the High Priest, he will definitely keep you there for a long chat. When the time comes, I can only wait for you in the side hall. It’s too boring.”
The High Priest and Feng Ling usually talked about priest-related matters. No one else could listen.
Feng Ling didn’t force her and said, “Then you can go back first.”
After Feng Lan left, Feng Ling’s expression became serious.
She strode towards the High Priest Hall.
The High Priest’s expression wasn’t very good. After the two of them had eaten, he said to Feng Ling, “Ling’er, you’ll temporarily take over my position for the time being. I’m going into seclusion.”
Feng Ling’s heart skipped a beat. She grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse.
“Don’t worry. I just expended too much energy when I saved the Grand General. I’ll recover after a while.”
Feng Ling nodded and said, “Master, I want to ask you two questions.”
“Go ahead.”
“After a person experiences their previous life and current life, under what circumstances will only one party remember everything and the other party can’t remember anything?”
