Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine Chapter 278

Chapter 278-Breakingthrough to Xiantian Part 6

“Feng family?” Feng Jing Tian chuckled sinisterly. With slight disdain in his phoenix eyes, he continued, “Don’t you forget how mother died, and why I left the Feng family. I hate Lan Yue; she’s just a wife you picked for me. More importantly, I just can’t like her due to her hypocrisy. Furthermore, if it wasn’t for my talent, will you, Feng Xiang, still look at me? I didn’t even want this ident.i.ty as the young master of the Feng family from the start.”

Feng Jing Tian’s words were like needles to his heart. Feng Xiang’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

He was right. The madam’s death was indeed due to him. If he wasn’t too weak to speak up for her, she wouldn’t have died so miserably that year. He would never be able to forget the final look that woman shot him.

Despair and misery…

It was precisely due to this that Feng Jing Tian couldn’t feel at home in the Feng family,even hating his own father.

While Feng Xiang was immersed in his memories, Feng Jing Tian moved in a flash out of the room. His fiery red figure moved quickly and landed within Mu Ru Yue’s residence.

Feeling the incoming aura, Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly as she asked indifferently, “Enchanter, what are you here for?”

Feng Jing Tian looked deeply at the young girl’s impeccable face. An unfathomable expression was displayed on his enchantingly handsome visage.

“I will have to leave the Feng family for a period of time. You must stay safe while I’m away.”

Mu Ru Yue’s brows rose as she replied, “Perhaps I’ll be safer if you let me go.”

The young girl’s words carried thorns that pierced the man’s heart mercilessly. But he continued to look as though he was unaffected and smiled. He was obviously a man, yet his smile was really nice.

“Take this decree tablet. If you are in danger, I will rush back. Woman, do you know? When I was really young, my mother already pa.s.sed away. Her death, moreover, was due to my cowardly father.”

Feng Jing Tian smiled coldly. With sorrow in his eyes, he continued, “To be precise, she practiced a technique which enabled her to raise the dead. The price of which was her life force. When she used her technique to save Feng Xiang, someone saw her. However, that person only saw the part when she turned from a young woman into an old one, an effect of losing her life force. Therefore, the person deemed her a reincarnated demoness.”

If someone saw a young woman gradually turn into a granny with a wrinkled face, how could they not be scared? Everyone would think they had seen a ghost.

Mu Ru Yue could already guess the outcome without Feng Jing Tian’s narration…

“The elder of the family declared she was a demoness, who must be put to death by burning. That man she revived didn’t speak up for her even when she was about to be burned to death. He wasn’t the heir to the Feng family then; his status wasn’t good and many people wanted him dead. So, how could he care about others? Even that person who was his wife and sacrificed half of her life to save his, resulting in the aging of her face and ended up being mistaken as a demoness…”

From then on, Feng Jing Tian became unwilling to call that man his father.

“Me saying all of this isn’t to incite your pity.” Feng Jing Tian raised his eyes to look at Mu Ru Yue. With determination in his phoenix eyes, he continued, “Before she pa.s.sed away, she said this to me, ‘If you meet a woman you like, you must do whatever you can to protect her.’ Hence, I want you to trust me when I say I will be able to protect you and you won’t be harmed in the slightest.”
