Chapter 434: As Long As You Don’t Like That Man, These Are Yours
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The High Priest was a little surprised that Feng Ling would ask such a question, but he still thought for a while and told her, “Once a person is reincarnated, they will forget everything in their previous life. It’s impossible for them to have memories of their previous life.”
When she heard this, Feng Ling asked anxiously, “What if that person hasn’t gone through reincarnation?”
“Possession?” The High Priest frowned when he thought of this situation. “This is an unorthodox method that only fiends learn.”
Feng Ling suddenly didn’t know what to say.
After a moment, she asked, “Master, if someone wants to defy the heavens and change their fate, what punishment will they suffer?”
“It can’t be changed. It’s hard to go against the will of the heavens.”
After the High Priest finished speaking, he even said to her in a serious tone, “Ling’er, I know that you read a variety of books. Some books are just for reading. Don’t think about things that go against our High Priest’s duty.”
After saying this, he suddenly sighed. “You’re too heaven-defying in certain aspects. I wonder if it’s good or bad.”
The High Priest was most worried that the heavens would be jealous of her astonishing talent and give her a shortened lifespan.
However, it would be fine as long as she became the High Priestess when she turned 16. At that time, she would be the chosen daughter of the heavens, and even the heavens would favor her.
At the thought of this, the High Priest was relieved. He rubbed Feng Ling’s head and said to her lovingly, “Don’t stay in the Treasure House all the time. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around.”
“Got it, Master.”
Feng Ling walked out from her master’s place. After thinking for a while, she turned around and walked towards Feng Lan’s residence.
Feng Lan had clearly been injured by her Phoenix Zither last night, yet she actually looked fine today. She planned to test if she was pretending or if she was really fine.
When they arrived outside Feng Lan’s courtyard, two maidservants happened to walk over with a basket of fruits.
When the two of them saw Feng Ling, they quickly bowed. “Priestess.”
“What fruit are you holding?”
“It’s An Guo.”
Which was actually an apple.
Feng Ling nodded and said, “Give it to me. I’ll bring it in for Lan’er.”
The two of them quickly handed the basket to Feng Ling and left.
Feng Ling looked at the fruits in the basket and tapped her fingers on them, using the power of a priest. This was only beneficial to ordinary people and wouldn’t cause them any harm. But to people who cultivated the demonic path, using the power of sacrificial offerings could weaken the magic power in their body.
When Feng Ling walked into the inner courtyard, she saw Feng Lan practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
As a guardian, Feng Lan usually protected the High Priestess. Therefore, her martial arts had to be very strong.
Feng Ling watched for a while, then placed the fruit basket to the side and attacked.
“Lan’er, let’s exchange a few moves.”
The moment Feng Ling attacked, Feng Lan received the attack.
As she took the blow, she said with a smile, “Sister, we haven’t fought in a long time. See if I’ve improved.”
“Okay.”
Feng Ling didn’t intend to go easy on her. Every move carried a powerful force.
Feng Lan also had her own thoughts and didn’t intend to deliberately give in to Feng Ling.
Every move the two of them made carried powerful internal energy. Many flowers and leaves in the surroundings were stirred into the air.
At this moment, Feng Lan suddenly saw a man walking in.
She forcefully received Feng Ling’s palm.
“Ooh…”
Looking at Feng Lan, who was holding a hand over her chest and retreating a few steps, Feng Ling stopped her movement and also realized that there were footsteps behind her.
However, she didn’t mind. She deliberately said, “Lan’er, you’re distracted.”
Feng Lan said aggrievedly, “I thought that Sister only planned to spar with me casually. I didn’t expect you to be serious.”
After saying that, her eyes turned watery. “It hurts.”
Feng Ling glanced at the apples beside her, walked over to take one, and handed it to her. “Eat this fruit quickly. I added the power of a priest to the fruit. This way, your chest won’t hurt anymore.”
The footsteps behind her had approached.
Feng Lan called out with a glint in her eyes, “Grand General, you’re here.”
Only then did Feng Ling turn to look at the Grand General standing there. At this moment, his cold and hard face still had a sickly expression, but it didn’t diminish the fierce dignity in his eyes.
Feng Ling frowned. “Your injuries aren’t healed yet. Why are you out?”
“Sister, I asked the Grand General to come to my place to get something.”
“What is it that you have to personally come and get?” Feng Ling frowned even more. She kept feeling that Feng Lan didn’t have good intentions.
The Grand General had his lips tightly closed the entire time, his handsome brows furrowed. He seemed a little surprised that Feng Ling was here.
When Feng Ling saw his reaction, she turned around and placed the fruit in Feng Lan’s hand. She urged, “Eat this fruit first.”
“Sister, I’ll eat later.”
“No, eat it now… I’ll feel bad if I don’t watch you eat.”
“Erm…”
Feng Lan didn’t expect Feng Ling to suddenly be so insistent.
Previously, she only needed to say a few sentences to dodge it. This time, it seemed to be useless.
She looked at the fruit Feng Ling handed her and wondered how she could not eat it.
Feng Ling sneered in her heart. In the past, she had always given in to her because she felt sorry for her only sister. Now that her attitude had changed, her tone couldn’t help but become domineering. “Could it be that Lan’er had pretended to be slapped by me, that’s why you’re not eating the fruit?”
The Grand General stared at Feng Lan coldly with a blatant threat in his eyes.
The black aura in Feng Lan’s heart almost couldn’t be suppressed. She could only take it and take a bite.
Feng Ling: “Eat more. How can one bite help?”
Feng Lan was a little anxious. Her mind raced. At this moment, she pointed at the Grand General and said, “Sister, let the Grand General take the things away first. Look at how seriously ill he is. What if…”
“So why did you call the Grand General who is so seriously ill over?”
“I…”
Feng Lan was speechless. If she had known that Feng Ling would suddenly come over, she wouldn’t have called the Grand General over. Moreover, the thing she was giving to him…
At the thought of this, she felt inexplicably guilty.
At this moment, Feng Ling continued to urge her, “Lan’er, quickly eat the fruit.”
Feng Lan subconsciously ate the apple. When she was about to finish it, she suddenly realized something.
Satisfied, Feng Ling asked, “What exactly are you giving to the Grand General? Go get it. After you do, I’ll leave with the general to take his pulse.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Feng Ling finished speaking, the Grand General turned around and walked out of the door.
Feng Ling looked at his tall back strangely, then glanced at Feng Lan before turning around to follow him.
The moment Feng Lan and the Grand General left, her expression instantly darkened. She quickly turned around and walked into the room. She wanted to vomit out all of that fruit she had eaten just now.
When she realized that it was useless and that some of the magic power in her body had been removed, she was so angry that a black aura surged around her.
“Ah…”
Feng Ling followed behind the Grand General and said to him as she walked, “You’re so badly injured. You shouldn’t have gotten out of bed and run around. Even if there’s something very important you want to get, you can send your most trusted person or get her to send it over. You…”
Feng Ling suddenly stopped. She thought that since the Grand General was already so severely injured, it was better not to berate him.
She asked, “If you can’t walk back, I’ll get someone to bring over a palanquin.”
The Grand General stopped and pursed his lips as he looked at her.
Feng Ling looked back at him. Even though he didn’t say anything, she knew that he was objecting. She said, “So be it. But you can’t come out again before you recover.”
The Grand General nodded after a few seconds.
The two of them walked forward.
When Feng Ling came out of the general’s residence after taking the Grand General’s pulse, it was almost noon.
She thought for a while and was about to go back when she suddenly saw dark clouds rolling in the sky to the west.
This meant that heavy rain was about to fall.
However, Feng Ling remembered that at the time, the dark clouds over there had drowned the wheat planted by the farmers, and in the end, there was no harvest.
At the thought of this, she planned to try and change this disaster.
At the thought of this, she pointed at one of the guards behind her and said, “Get the guard commander to send more people to go with me to the West City.”
“Yes, Priestess.”
The guard captain was very fast. In less than 15 minutes, he rushed over with his men.
At the same time, he prepared a glamorous horse carriage for Feng Ling.
Feng Ling looked at the carriage. She had originally planned to not bring it over. After thinking for a while, she said to the guard commander, “Send someone to buy oil paper. The more the better.”
“Yes.”
Not long after Feng Ling boarded the horse and left with a group of guards, the carriage stopped.
Feng Ling was about to lift the curtains to see what was going on when a large hand lifted the curtains at the same time and someone sat in.
“Your Majesty.”
Feng Ling thought about how this person had left just like that yesterday and immediately pulled a long face.
The king glanced at her expression, lifted the curtains, and brought in a lunchbox from outside. He opened it.
The fragrance of the pastry made Feng Ling swallow a mouthful of saliva.
The king said, “As long as you don’t like that man, these are all yours.”
Feng Ling: “…”
She hadn’t thought that she would interact with the king like this in the past.
Seeing that Feng Ling didn’t answer, the king’s handsome face darkened and he pushed the lunchbox into her arms.
Feng Ling hugged the lunchbox and looked at him, who had a serious expression. She said, “I just foretold that there will be a water disaster in the west. I’ll get someone to quickly harvest the crops.”
The king’s expression turned serious.
He thought for a while, lifted the curtain, and called the guard commander over. He ordered, “Immediately inform all the officials. Get their family to bring some people to the west to harvest the crops quickly. This will be considered a political achievement.”
“Yes.”
Feng Ling: “…”
