Chapter 533: A Stormy Night

In the middle of the night, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled . The wind howled in the furious storm . It looked as if the world was about to be turned upside down .

Bead-sized raindrops were falling down . Feng Tianlan closed her window . After having one of her troubles resolved, her shoulders which had been weighed down with responsibilities felt much lighter . She had a good night’s sleep .

In the midst of the furious storm, a few figures flashed by along the top of an isolated hill . They had found a female corpse that had been thrown away moments ago . They took her in the direction of the pier and put her in a small boat .

The sound of spluttering rain was mixed with some rough voices . “Clean her up quickly, then feed her the antidote . We need to leave without stopping along the way . We need to reach our destination in the shortest time possible while protecting her . If she is missing one hair on her head when we get there, we won’t be able to keep our lives, not to mention receiving our fees . ”

The person who had taken the body replied, “Yes!” Then, he rowed the boat out to sea in the furious storm .

The person who had been talking now turned around . Under a flash of lightning in the stormy night, the few people behind him didn’t even have a chance to scream before their blood spurted all over and they fell to the ground .

The kicked the few of them into the ocean . Their corpses disappeared within seconds . He then jumped into the air . In another flash of lightning, he slit his own throat with a sharp sword . His corpse fell into the water .

What kind of person was he? After completing his mission, he killed everyone and himself just to keep this operation a secret . It is believed that there was a strong and scary person behind this operation .

After the stormy night, the air was exceptionally fresh . Even the rainbow in the sky looked beautiful .

After the storm, the bloodstains on the pier of the Flying Frost Pavilion had been washed away . Not even a single drop was left behind .

Feng Tianlan looked at Shang Chengle who was kneeling in front of her . “Our deal is complete . You don’t have to follow me anymore . ”

Before she left, she just gave him a Beautifying Pill . However, he continued following her and insisted on serving her .

“Master has done Chengle a huge favor . Chengle’s life now belongs to Master . Chengle is willing to serve Master . ” If it hadn’t been for her, he might not have had the chance to avenge his family for the rest of his life . Therefore, to repay her kindness, he was willing to show his gratitude by dying for her .

“No need . You should go back to Ruyi Trade House . That is where you belong,” Feng Tianlan said faintly .

Chuling couldn’t help but plead for him after seeing Shang Chengle kneeling down on the ground . “Miss, why not take him with you? You don’t have many useful people around you . The rest are all in the Holy Pill City . Besides, after doing such a favor for him, I believe that he will be loyal to you . ”

“Chengle is willing to die for Master!” Shang Chengle declared loudly .

Feng Tianlan glanced at Chuling, then Shang Chengle . She pondered for a while and nodded . “Since you insist, it is not impossible . However, if you become my underling, you will only listen to orders and cannot defy them . You are also not allowed to ask for the reasons behind my orders . ”

“Yes,” Shang Chengle agreed immediately as he was afraid that she might change her mind .

“From now on, you will follow Chuling and protect her . ”

“Master?”

Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly as her face turned sullen . “If you are regretting this, you can give up now . ”

“I agree,” Shang Chengle lowered his head immediately and replied with respect .

“Miss, I am here to serve you . I don’t need anyone to protect me . ” Chuling looked at Feng Tianlan anxiously .

Feng Tianlan looked at Chuling’s anxious oval face filled with shades of flattery . “Chuling, you and Yunzhu both have unique strengths . Therefore, I am going to be separated from the both of you during this one-year period . After one year, we will gather at Beiqi Nation and depart to Xuantian Continent . ”
