The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: The Seal Has One More Secret

Feng Qingling stared at the Feng Clan Seal and went into a daze for a while, thinking about the last conversation he’d had with his older sister.

“Tu Xiang is a heartless man, and the Feng family is merely a stepping stone to him. Unfortunately, I’m nearing death, and I can’t do anything about him. But Lan’er is still very young, and she will need you to protect her.

“Lan’er is too conspicuous now. Give her some Spirit Breaking Potion to stop her from leveling up – this is the only way to save her from being killed.

“Don’t be in a hurry to avenge me. You and Lan’er need to hide your real potential first. One day, you can take back the Feng clan.

“When Lan’er takes the seal back, you don’t have to hide anything from her. You can tell her the truth. You must believe her without question. Support her and become her arms and legs.

“Remember, do not take revenge now. You must prevent Lan’er from advancing in skill…you must!”

Feng Qingling snapped back to reality after Feng Tianlan called his name out several times. He looked back at Feng Tianlan, whose face and aura was remarkably similar to his sister’s. His heart was filled with mixed feelings as he thought about his sister’s last words.

“Uncle,” Feng Tianlan wasn’t sure what to do when Feng Qingling started crying. His tears flowed non-stop.

Feng Qingling wiped his tears away and asked, slowly but excitedly, “You’ve regained your ability to train?”

“Hmm?” Feng Tianlan was a bit confused but nodded anyway. It was interesting to hear him describe her as someone who had regained her ability to train. She knew that this body could train – it just didn’t know how to, and that was why she’d remained practically useless for so long.

“That’s great, that’s great. So long as you’ve regained your abilities…” Feng Qingling continued to wipe his tears in excitement. He’d thought that he would have to wait for a long time, perhaps even his entire lifetime. He hadn’t expected to wait a mere ten years.

“It’s been hard on you all these years. From now on, I will…” Feng Qingling suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He was now useless and couldn’t help her. Not even a tiny bit.

Feng Tianlan took out a pill from her Pill Scroll Realm and held it out. “Uncle, are you willing to help me take back the Feng Clan?”

“This is…” Feng Qingling looked quizzically at her.

“This is a Restoration Pill.” The pill was from Si Mobai, and she hadn’t wanted to take it either. But, after considering what he’d said about her uncle and how she wasn’t able to make this pill by herself at the moment, she’d accepted it in the end.

Feng Qingling froze for a moment, then excitedly accepted the Restoration Pill. He started wiping his tears again and was too excited to talk. Lan’er had grown up just as his sister had described. Now, she was going to take back the Feng Clan.

“Now that Lan’er is all grown up, there are some things you should know.” Feng Qingling wiped away the last of his tears as he looked at Feng Tianlan. Solemnly, he explained what had happened ten years ago.

Feng Tianlan’s biological mother had been poisoned to death by Feng Xiang. Who knew that the concubine who drew in her eyebrows every single day added a little poison each time? It was slow to take effect, but before she knew it, she’d been poisoned over ten years. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.

The original owner of Feng Tianlan’s body had not become a good-for-nothing because there’d been nobody to teach her – it was because her own mother and uncle had fed her Spirit Breaking Potion so that she wouldn’t be killed. So, this body couldn’t train after all – it was not that it didn’t know how.

When she heard these words, Feng Tianlan could feel how tortured her biological mother must have felt, and how much determination she had to have to feed Spirit Breaking Potion to the body’s owner.

And the mastermind behind this entire mess was that ungrateful and heartless man – Feng Xiang!

“Uncle, don’t worry. Old debts must be repaid.” Feng Tianlan clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes, exuding a murderous aura. Feng Xiang was worse than an animal. He was willing to kill his wife and daughter for the sake of power. Calling him an animal was an insult to animals.

Feng Qingling nodded with faith in her. “There’s another secret in this seal, and that’s what he’s truly after.”
