Chapter 23

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since she had formed a team with Qin Feng and Ye Meng, other than attending classes, Feng Zhi had been hunting demon beasts, selling crystals, and exchanging gold coins. She was quite at ease…

As she leveled up and kept fighting against demon beasts, she noticed that the spiritual energy in her body seemed to have decreased, but it was more condensed.

It was as if it had been compressed, making it easier to control.

It seemed that the dragon was right.

Feng Zhi sat cross-legged and heard Ye Meng call out to her, “Zhi Zhi, let’s go. We’re going to the market to sell crystals!”

“Alright…”

Feng Zhi checked the few piles of crystals in her interspatial ring. They should be able to sell for a good price.

At the market, the vendors who had been working with Feng Zhi and the others were overjoyed when they saw them coming again!

She was glad that he had the foresight to talk business with these seemingly weak young men.

These days, all the crystals they sold were rare and hard to come by. It was easy to find a buyer for high-level crystals, so they earned a lot!

“You guys wait here for a moment. I’ll go count them and get the gold coins for you guys!”

The stall owner was eager to worship them as the god of wealth and leave. Feng Zhi and the others had nothing to do, so they looked around and waited.

“Yo, this is the young miss of the Feng family, a weakling who has awakened her water bloodline. Feng Zhi, right?”

“From the looks of it, you guys are in cahoots?”

A woman with a sharp tone held two swords in her hands. She looked at Feng Zhi with disdain and said to Ye Meng, “whether you want to fight demon beasts or cultivate together to advance, you are blind to look for her!”

“Who doesn’t know that Feng Zhi is trash who is so weak that she can’t be any weaker! Thinking about it, she must have risked her life and cheated to advance to two stars, right?”

“If you bring her along, I’m afraid that you’ll lose your lives one day. You won’t even know that you’re being held back by others!”

The woman looked a little familiar. She had been belittling Feng Zhi with her nose.

Feng Zhi frowned. She could not remember her name and did not have any emotional fluctuations.

Barking wildly in the street, what was the difference between that and a stray dog?

Ye Meng quickly tiptoed and said beside her ear, “it’s senior Qing Ruo from the Academy.”

“I heard that she likes senior Gu Yi.”

Feng Zhi’s eyes instantly brightened and she smiled mockingly. Senior Qing Ruo also heard their conversation and her face flushed red. She pointed at her and shouted loudly.

“Ha, Feng Zhi, don’t look at me like that. The Gu family had obviously broken off the engagement with you, yet you still pestered Gu Yi and came here!”

“How shameless!”

“Gu Yi doesn’t want to see you! You’d better scram back to the slave camp as soon as possible and accept your fate!”

Qing Ruo attracted the crowd of onlookers, who were munching on melon seeds and sharing information with each other, thinking that it was a scene of two women fighting over a man.

Feng Zhi pressed down Ye Meng, who was trying to argue for her and stared at her senior, emitting some pressure that made her stagger half a step. Fear rose in her heart.

“Gu Yi? Who is that?”

She asked sarcastically, “oh! The young master of the Gu family who wanted to form an alliance with the Feng family but ended up breaking off the engagement with me because of his hypocritical influence?”

“What? Senior sister confessed to Gu Yi but was rejected? Are you taking out this nameless anger on me?”

Feng Zhi deliberately provoked her, picking on some sarcastic words that she could not refute.

“Gu Yi and I have nothing to do with each other since the day we broke off the engagement. If you really want to make a scene, just focus on your cultivation and see if he likes you.”

“I can’t be bothered to snatch that kind of trash from you!”

After saying that, Feng Zhi looked at the money bag handed over by the stall owner and was about to leave.

Qing Ruo pulled out her two swords and blocked her path. However, a friend beside her reminded her, “the Academy does not allow private fights and provocations. Otherwise, you will be punished!”

“Hmph…”

Due to the rules, Qing Ruo withdrew her swords.

Feng Zhi looked sympathetically at the woman whose eyes were blinded by her emotions. She was not weak. How could she be blind enough to like Gu Yi?

What a pity.

Qing Ruo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. Due to the many gazes around her, she decided to simply say something fierce.

“Don’t be happy too early. In a few days, it will be the freshmen ceremony. When that time comes, I will naturally teach you a good lesson!”

“Don’t find an excuse to hide! I will definitely let your blood splatter on the arena, kneel on the ground, and beg for mercy from me!”

Qing Ruo’s friends around her were all watching the show. They tried to persuade her. “Aiya, don’t be angry. Maybe she wouldn’t even manage to successfully enroll in the school, and be disqualified in the strength test! Competing with her will lower your level!”

“Hehe.”

Feng Zhi sneered, attracting their attention. She slowly scratched her ears as if she had heard some dirty words. She opened her thin lips and said, “then we’ll see.”
