Tang Qin nodded with a smile on her face.

“Yes, sister, is there any conflict between us that cannot be resolved? Blood is thicker than water!”

Shi Xunmei subconsciously frowned. She felt that this ‘Cao Xinrui’ in front of her was a little strange. The words she said seemed to contain a hidden meaning…

However, Shi Xunmei did not have time to dwell on this matter. She immediately gathered all of the doctors in the royal family, determined to find out the cause of Cao Xinrui’s strange newfound powers! She had made such a big scene that even Cao Zhihong found out about it.

“What did you just say? Cao Xinrui awakened as a spirit cultivator? She can cultivate now? How is this possible? It happened without warning?”

Cao Zhihong looked at the servant who had come to report and was shocked! Even her daughter had to soak in a medicine vat since she was young. With the addition of the phoenix bone, she had barely cultivated to the third level of the spirit realm! However, such a result was already shocking enough, and one could easily see how her status had risen because of that.

However, why would Cao Xinrui awaken as a spirit cultivator as well?

A gentle-looking man with sharp brows and bright eyes was sitting beside Cao Zhihong. It was Ding Qingfeng.

“Cao Xinrui? I heard that she was poisoned the moment she came back from Heavenly Lake Mountain.” Ding Qingfeng put down his teacup. He was also a little surprised.

“She was indeed poisoned, but the doctors said that Miss Cao’s poison has been cured and that she has indeed awakened as a spirit cultivator… and that she is extremely talented…”

The servant reported all this with her head lowered.

“Such a thing happened? That would be a blessing in disguise for her!” Ding Qingfeng raised his brows. He was interested in this ‘Cao Xinrui’. Within a brief moment, he had already thought of many things. Cao Xinrui obviously liked him very much. If she really had a spirit beast and could cultivate, although it was not as good as the princess’ phoenix bone, it was still very rare. The Ding family would not dislike such a person.

“Then I’ll go over and see her too,” he said to Cao Zhihong, “It’s really interesting.”

Cao Zhihong waved her hand. She had a dignified smile on her face, but her heart had fallen into the depths of the abyss. If ‘Cao Xinrui’ was really that strong, would she not become a threat to her daughter’s position? Cao Zhihong felt very irritable. There was a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart. She had a nagging feeling that something was going to break away from her control.

At this time, Tang Qin was sitting on a chair in a room, looking at the doctors examining her body. She suppressed her cultivation down to the first level of the spirit realm. After all, she had just awakened, so this was reasonable. If the changes were too big, it would definitely arouse suspicion and cause more trouble. For now, these doctors had been examining her for a long time, but had still found nothing.

“This is worthy of celebration! My Cao family has actually produced a beast-spirit dual cultivator!”

The doctor from the Cao family spoke excitedly. His face was glowing and he said to Tang Qin, “Young Miss, I will immediately send a message to the elders of the Cao family! With your newfound talent, our Cao family will rise again!”

This batch of Cao family descendants were all inferior to each other. The best awakened life spirit beast was Cao Xinrui’s fire dog, which was barely above average. This resulted in the Cao family’s strength and prestige declining year by year! Although Cao Zhihong was a member of the Cao family, she was now in charge of the royal family of the Canglan Kingdom, so her priority had changed from the Cao family to the royal family, and specifically, her daughter. Moreover, she was too old.

Even if the princess, Shi Xunmei, had been the first person to awaken a phoenix bone in thousands of years, she was still the princess! She represented the royal family of the Canglan Kingdom, and not the Cao family! Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, the Cao family did not possess a decent talent as a representative. They could no longer raise their heads in front of the other families. However, things would be different now. Cao Xinrui was the eldest daughter of the Cao family, and a true representative of the Cao family.

Beside her, Shi Xunmei clenched her fists tightly. She put on a forced smile and said,” Congratulations, cousin.”

Tang Qin smiled and said, “Cousin Xunmei, how can you say this? I’m no match for someone like you who was born with the phoenix bone. By the way, I’m wondering when we’ll be able to see Cousin Xunmei’s divine beast. The divine beast of the phoenix goddess must be extraordinary. I really want to see it. ”

Seeing that Shi Xunmei had not brought her life spirit beast with her, Tang Qin could not help but probe.

Shi Xunmei laughed. Thinking of the little phoenix, she felt a sense of balance in her heart. No matter what, Cao Xinrui did not have a phoenix beast or phoenix bone, so she said with a faint sense of pride, “Why are you so anxious? When tomorrow’s state banquet begins as a preparation for the competition, everyone will bring their life spirit beasts onstage. Won’t you be able to see mine then?”

Of course, the most important thing was that the little phoenix was not obedient at all. If her mother had not finished disciplining it in the secret dungeon, Shi Xunmei would not dare to take it out and use it.
