Chapter 78: A Dark and Stormy Night

Feng Yunshu certainly didn't think Xiaoling was stupid. She just thought that since Xiaoling was already injured and her fur hadn't fully recovered, any accident might make her injuries worse.

Since Xiaoling and Ziyuan didn't go with her this time, Feng Yunshu didn't need to use her spiritual power to disguise her presence in the yard. After changing into her night clothes, she nimbly climbed over the wall using a big tree on the side.

After leaving the mansion, Feng Yunshu came to an alley behind the Wuxiang Building. Looking up, she saw a figure waiting for her there.

"Third senior brother, shall we go?"

Feng Yunshu stepped forward to greet Kong Ze. Kong Ze nodded. "To be more covert, we'll fly there directly using our spiritual power. Do you have enough spiritual power? If not, I can take you with me."

Feng Yunshu smiled. "After the demon - exorcising incident in Qinghe Village, my spiritual power has increased a lot. It's enough for me to fly to the Miaokong Nunnery. But if it's too far, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Okay, then let's go."

Feng Yunshu and Kong Ze activated their spiritual power at the same time, but the magic tools they used for flying were different.

Kong Ze took out the wooden hairpin from his bun, moved his lips and chanted a spell. The wooden hairpin instantly enlarged. He leaped onto it lightly, flying with his hands behind his back.

Since Feng Yunshu came here, besides a demon - mirror, she didn't have any other flying magic tools. Fortunately, her cultivation method was a bit different from others.

She closed her eyes and formed hand seals. The moonlight scattered around rushed towards her continuously from the sky, gathering into the shape of a misty spiritual bird. Feng Yunshu deftly leaped onto the bird's back and immediately caught up with Kong Ze.

Under the cover of the night, the whole of the Dan Kingdom was quiet, with only the occasional sound of the night watchman.

On the street, the night watchman was looking at his clapper when he suddenly felt a cold gust of wind blow over his head. Where did this wind come from? The night watchman looked up and saw a shiny spiritual bird spreading its wings and flying high under the moonlight in the sky!

The night watchman stared in disbelief, rubbed his eyes and looked again, but the spiritual bird had disappeared. Above his head was still the silent moonlight.

Huh? Could it be that I really saw it wrong? That bird didn't look ordinary!

Early the next morning, the whole capital was abuzz with rumors. "Have you heard? A spiritual bird flew across the sky last night. It's said that it's the spiritual bird beside the Queen Mother of the West! Something big might be about to happen!"

"I saw it clearly. That bird looked just like a phoenix. Yes, it was a phoenix!"

"That bird even looked at me and smiled. How scary!"

Hearing these rumors, Feng Yunshu laughed so hard that she almost burst her belly. But of course, this is a story for later.

...

The two soon arrived in a bamboo forest near the Miaokong Nunnery and landed steadily.

"Feng Manshu should be living here. Let's go in invisibly and take a look."

Soon, the two concealed their figures and climbed over the side wall of the Miaokong Nunnery.

The Miaokong Nunnery was not very big. It was located in a remote and quiet place. The number of nuns here was not large. It was a small - scale nunnery.

Feng Yunshu and Kong Ze quickly figured out the basic structure and routes here. Just then, they heard Feng Manshu's voice coming from one of the side rooms.

"When will my mother come and pick me up? I don't want to stay in this hellhole for a single moment! This is no place for a person to stay!"

"Don't be impatient, Second Miss. Just wait patiently. The First Lady will soon send someone to pick you up and take you back to the mansion."

"How soon is soon? I really don't know what my mother is thinking. She made me stay in this god - forsaken place, knowing nothing about what's going on in the capital. If this goes on, not to mention becoming the Crown Princess, I'll end up as a spinster in the capital sooner or later!"

At this moment, Feng Yunshu, who was crouching behind the wall, couldn't help but complain. "This Feng Manshu is really stubborn. She dared to shout and scream in front of the emperor. After being punished to this nunnery for self - reflection, she still shows no sign of repentance. She's really hopeless. How could the First Lady, such a cunning person, give birth to a daughter with a brain like a sieve?"

"You shouldn't let your guard down too much. The more people like her are, the harder they are to deal with. Who knows when she might be stimulated and do something crazy."

Feng Yunshu nodded. "I know, Third senior brother. Since she's here, we don't have to spend time looking for her. You stay here and keep watch for me. I'll go in and do my business."

"Okay. I'll use my spiritual power to surround this side room to prevent others from noticing any abnormalities inside."

Feng Yunshu nodded, looked up at the moonlight in the sky. "I don't have much time left for my action. My spiritual power will be greatly reduced after the moonlight fades. I'm going in."

With Kong Ze's assistance, Feng Yunshu successfully entered the side room where Feng Manshu was living.

Besides Feng Manshu, there was an old woman in the room. Feng Yunshu took a look at the old woman and quickly recognized her as Nanny Chang, who usually served the First Lady.

After the two finished talking, Nanny Chang turned around and walked out. Feng Yunshu stepped aside. After Nanny Chang left, she walked up to Feng Manshu.

Feng Manshu angrily poured herself a glass of water. After drinking it, she walked to the bed and lay down.

Since Feng Yunshu was in an invisible state, Feng Manshu didn't notice anything strange in the room.

Feng Manshu tossed and turned in bed for a while before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Seeing this, Feng Yunshu moved her fingers slightly and sent out a cold wind. Feng Manshu just frowned slightly and tightened the quilt, but didn't wake up.

After confirming that Feng Manshu was really asleep, Feng Yunshu stepped forward, formed a slightly complicated spell seal with both hands, released spiritual power from her palm, and then stepped forward and tapped Feng Manshu's forehead with her finger.

After doing this, Feng Yunshu originally planned to turn around and leave, but at this time she heard Feng Manshu muttering in her sleep. "Feng Yunshu, how dare you fight with me! You're just a bastard with a mother but no one to raise you!"

"I'm the future Crown Princess! I'm the future Queen! I'll surely trample that bitch Feng Yunshu under my feet!"

Seeing Feng Manshu's ferocious face, Feng Yunshu couldn't help but stop, frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Feng Manshu, then reached out to feel her forehead again.

This time, Feng Yunshu tried to enter her spiritual consciousness to see what kind of dream she was having.

It went dark in front of her eyes, and when it lit up again, Feng Yunshu saw two little girls of similar age not far away.

Although the two little girls were of the same age and their figures were somewhat similar, their dressing styles were very different. The little girl with twin ponytails was wearing a long golden - embroidered dress, with fair and rosy skin.

The other little girl opposite was wearing a plain dress that was almost washed white. She was thin and frail, with a sallow complexion. Only her eyes were big and bright, with long eyelashes. One could tell from her facial features that she was an absolute beauty.

Taking a closer look, Feng Yunshu quickly recognized that the little girl in the luxurious clothes was the young Feng Manshu, while the thin and sallow - faced little girl was the young her, or rather, the young original owner.

Just as Feng Yunshu was thinking, the mini - version of Feng Manshu suddenly reached out her hand fiercely and pushed the mini - version of Feng Yunshu to the ground. "You're a thief! You stole my clay figurine! My father brought it back specially from the south of the Yangtze River!"

The mini - version of Feng Yunshu was holding a clay figurine. With a snap, she and the clay figurine fell to the ground. She quickly reached out to protect the clay figurine and helplessly tried to pick up all the pieces of the clay figurine and stick them back together.

"No, I'm not a thief! This clay figurine was given to me by my father!"
