/I'm sorry for not updating... I am super busy with my activities in school. We have 5 subjects and each module they gave has 4 activities each, which are very hard, and they also set deadlines. They gave us modules twice or thrice a week! That's what I'm frustrated with!/

So here's the update guys..... Enjoy and keep safe everyone.......

Zuo Qingliu nodded discreetly.He was among those who had destroyed Feng Wu’s ability. He knew that if that damn girl rose again, she would definitely take revenge!

That was why Feng Wu had to die!

Those of the Xuanyuan family were the first to charge at Feng Wu.

Xuanyuan Ying had been slapped by Feng Xun and Steward Yan had been killed by Feng Wu. Since they were still in the Xuanyuan family’s territory, of course the family would try to settle the score.

Feng Wu could be a Spiritual Grandmaster at Level 6, 7, or 8 — it made no difference to these people.

“Kill her!” Xuanyuan Ze gave the order.

As the successor of the Xuanyuan family, that was how arrogant he was!

Instantly, two figures in black flew at Feng Wu like eagles with their wings spread out!

They were about to send out lethal strikes!

“Stop!”

Someone arrived with rage like a tidal wave!

And everyone turned to look —

OMG!

It was Lady Northern Feng!

And she didn’t come alone. The Eighteen Iron Knights in Black were behind her!

The Eighteen Iron Knights in Black were the fiercest and most formidable guards of Northern Feng Mansion. Every single one of them was a powerful cultivator!

All eighteen of them were capable enough to be generals, yet they worked as nothing more than the guards of Northern Feng Mansion!

More importantly, the eighteen knights were a gift from Her Majesty the empress dowager and His Majesty the emperor when Lady Northern Feng married Northern Feng General.

When Lady Northern Feng went out, she would take at least two knights with her, and never more than four. But now, she had brought all eighteen of them here.

“Mother!”

Feng Xun was excited to see Lady Northern Feng.

And he was reassured when he saw the eighteen Iron Knights.

Lady Northern Feng nodded at Feng Xun and Feng Wu, then turned her attention to Xuanyuan Ze.

Rushing over to Xuanyuan Ze in a threatening manner, Lady Northern Feng shoved him in the chest. “Master Xuanyuan, how bold of you. Did you just try to kill my Xiao Wu? How dare you!”

Lady Northern Feng was known for her ferocity, and everyone in the imperial capital was aware of her irascible temper. As soon as she arrived, every member of the Xuanyuan family felt a shadow over their heads.

Poor Xuanyuan Ze, the father of Xuanyuan Yi. He was caught off guard when the furious Lady Northern Feng shoved him, and he took a step back.

“Cough, cough —” Xuanyuan Ze choked a little and started coughing.

Next to him, Lady Cai was flustered.

“Master, are you alright?” Lady Cai said anxiously.

Putting a hand over his chest, Xuanyuan Ze waved. If a little push like that could hurt him, he would be useless.

Seeing that her husband was unharmed, Lady Cai turned to glare at Lady Northern Feng.

At the end of the day, this was an upper-crust party, and everyone was as courteous as noble men and women should be. However, Lady Northern Feng had assumed such an aggressive posture, as if she was going to denounce someone for their crimes…

“Lady Northern Feng, be civil. What you’re doing is so inappropriate.” Lady Cai found Lady Northern Feng’s behavior unacceptable.

Lady Northern Feng was furious!

Did these people think she had no idea what the couple had done? She had already been informed on her way here!

Lady Northern Feng shoved Lady Cai!

Lady Cai was nowhere near as capable as Xuanyuan Ze, and at Lady Northern Feng’s push, she fell back.

Behind her was a row of wine shelves.

Thump —

No matter how quickly Lady Cai could dodge, she couldn’t stop herself from crashing into the wine shelves.

She fell to the ground along with broken wine bottles.

Her clothes stuck to her back, drenched with wine, and her hair dripped with the sticky liquid. She looked a mess.

her feet, Lady Cai glared at Lady Northern Feng. “You — you’ve crossed the line!”

With her hands on her waist, Lady Northern Feng acted all tough. “You bullied my Xiao Wu. That’s why I pushed you! What? You have a problem with that?!”

She was so fierce…

Everyone had held their breaths since Lady Northern Feng showed up, and no one dared to intervene.

Lady Cai wasn’t alone. Next to her, Mrs Zuo couldn’t help but interject, “Lady Northern Feng, don’t you think you’ve crossed the line?”

With her hands on her waist, Lady Northern Feng threw a dirty look at Mrs Zuo. “Do you have a problem, then?!”

Mrs Zuo was speechless. All she did was murmur a little, and the woman turned on her!

The Zuo family enjoyed a high status in the imperial capital, but deep down, Mrs Zuo was still afraid of Lady Northern Feng. Gritting her teeth, she said, “I… I do have a problem. You’ve done the wrong thing. Can’t we point that out?”

Lady Northern Feng went up to Mrs Zuo, grabbed the latter’s hand, and dragged her out from behind Lady Cai!

She looked like she was picking up a chicken!

But it was Mrs Zuo!

A noble lady of the Zuo family!

It wasn’t just the Zuo family; everyone else in the hall also watched this in astonishment.

Lady Northern Feng was so intimidating!

Grabbed by Lady Northern Feng, Mrs Zuo was utterly flustered. She yelled, “What are you doing? Put me down!”

How could someone be so unbridled and presumptuous?! After living her life as a respectable lady, Mrs Zuo never expected to deal with someone so unruly and unreasonable.

Putting Mrs Zuo down on the ground, Lady Northern Feng shoved the latter and made her stumble. “Tell me. What’s your problem with me?!”

Mrs Zuo was intimidated. “I…”

Lady Northern Feng shoved her again. “Say it!”

Mrs Zuo hated Lady Northern Feng, but the latter had taken control of the situation in her overbearing manner, and Mrs Zuo didn’t dare utter a word.

“What did my Xiao Wu do? Are you proud of picking on her? Speak!” Lady Northern Feng said in an aggressive manner.

That was so fierce… Lady Northern Feng was so fierce.

But she was the prestigious Lady Northern Feng, and her status meant a lot. Since she was a favorite of Her Majesty the empress dowager, no one dared to offend her.

Mrs Zuo stumbled back a few steps at Lady Northern Feng’s push, but didn’t dare to say a word after that.

Before Mrs Zuo spoke earlier, several other ladies had tried to play up to Lady Cai by tackling Lady Northern Feng…

But now, almost everyone here realized that this Lady Northern Feng was a lunatic who didn’t play by the book. She was domineering and puffed up with inordinate arrogance!

Anyone who opposed her would be annihilated…

Since no one wanted to become cannon fodder, no one dared to step out again.

Lady Northern Feng looked at each face in turn, but no one dared to meet her eyes. They all looked elsewhere, their eyes darting away…

Lady Northern Feng snorted and looked at Lady Cai again.

“Did you want to kick my Xiao Wu out just then? Apologize! Now!”

If Feng Xun had been very arrogant before, Lady Northern Feng acted like an invincible queen!

Lady Cai almost fainted with rage.

The Xuanyuan clan was one of the nine major clans, and Northern Feng Mansion was the most prominent noble family. The two families were of similar social status, but at that moment, Lady Cai was steadily losing ground to Lady Northern Feng.

Lady Cai wept in a pitiful manner and gripped Xuanyuan Ze’s arm with both hands helplessly. “Master… I…”However, Xuanyuan Ze only had time to pat Lady Cai’s hand. Before he could say anything, Xuanyuan Ying stepped forward.

Watching on the side, the girl was furious!

Lady Northern Feng was behaving atrociously in the Xuanyuan family’s territory, which was an insult to the extreme!

“Lady Northern Feng, that’s enough!” Xuanyuan Ying glared at Lady Northern Feng with her chest stuck out. “I was the one who cursed Feng Wu and tried to kick her out! If you want to take it out on someone, take it out on me, not my mother!”

Yes, she had called Feng Wu names. So what?!

Xuanyuan Ying said it herself!

What kind of person was Lady Northern Feng? She was never the type to suffer a loss!

Hence, the next moment!

Smack!

Lady Northern Feng slapped Xuanyuan Ying right in the face.

That crisp sound…

Everyone stared at Lady Northern Feng with a strange look in their eyes.

She had really hit the girl…

Xuanyuan Ying was dumbfounded as well. She hadn’t expected Lady Northern Feng to be so savage and absurd!

“You hit me! How dare you?” Xuanyuan Ying pointed at Lady Northern Feng.

Lady Northern Feng slapped her again, and it was as loud as the first time.

“Yes, I did!”

She exerted a lot more strength this time, and Xuanyuan Ying flew backward at the impact.

“Lady Northern Feng!”

The Xuanyuan family members couldn’t tolerate it anymore!

This was the Xuanyuan family’s territory, and the lady was practically slapping the face of the entire family!

“Is Northern Feng Mansion declaring war against the Xuanyuan clan now?!”

Xuanyuan Ze’s face turned livid as he stood there with a stern look in his eyes. His face was so dark that it looked like a stormy sky.

Although there were a lot of onlookers, no one dared to make a sound.

Because no one knew what word would set them off and start a war between Northern Feng Mansion and the Xuanyuan clan.

Lady Northern Feng smirked. “The Xuanyuan family insulted Northern Feng Mansion first, and you’re saying that I’m trying to start a war? Fine! Bring it on. Like that’s gonna scare me at all!”

Lady Northern Feng slapped her palm down hard on a table.

It was instantly pulverized.

Xuanyuan Ze’s face turned livid. “You…”

Lady Northern Feng said, “Let’s have a war! Come on!”

Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuan Ze’s brother, stepped out to defuse the situation right away.

“Lady Northern Feng, please don’t be mad. It was just children bickering, and nothing that serious. Let’s talk, for we’re all reasonable people, aren’t we?”

As Xuanyuan Yu spoke, he gave Xuanyuan Ze an inconspicuous tug and shot the latter a warning glance.

“Have you forgotten what kind of family Northern Feng Mansion is? Do you not know Lady Northern Feng’s background? That family is too powerful for the Xuanyuan clan to mess with now!”

Xuanyuan Ze snorted and looked away.

By now, Feng Wu couldn’t just stand around anymore. She couldn’t just watch as Northern Feng Mansion and the Xuanyuan family went to war!

Feng Wu said, “Mother, please calm down. You’ll upset yourself. I’m fine…”

That “mother” caught the attention of everyone present.

So… Feng Wu really was the goddaughter of Lady Northern Feng.

Taking Feng Wu’s hand, Lady Northern Feng said to her with a serious and stern look on her face, “Honey, there’s no need to say any more. You’re my most precious daughter; you don’t have to compromise out of consideration for me and silently swallow humiliation like this. Keep your chin up! That’s all you have to do!”

Feng Wu was speechless. Alright, then.

A lot of people at the banquet were looking at Feng Wu with mixed feelings. There was astonishment in their eyes, but more than anything else, there was jealousy.

That was especially the case with people like Xuanyuan Ying, Zuo Qingyu, and their friends!

As it turned out, Feng Wu really was Lady Northern Feng’s daughter, and the favorite one.

Xuanyuan Ying’s heart sank!She recalled what she said to Feng Wu earlier, which consisted of some very rude things.

Lady Northern Feng was so intimidating… When that woman wanted things her way, she didn’t give a damn who she had to take down. Of course people were afraid of her!

Lady Northern Feng glared at Xuanyuan Ying. “Do you still remember what you said just then?”

Xuanyuan Ying gave Lady Cai a pleading look.

Lady Cai wanted to help her own daughter, but it was obvious that Lady Northern Feng was here to get revenge for Feng Wu, and even Lady Cai was intimidated by Lady Northern Feng’s demeanor. Although Xuanyuan Ying was asking for her help, Lady Cai still looked away.

Lady Northern Feng smirked. “The Xuanyuan manor is so hard to get in these days. Even a member of my Northern Feng Mansion can get kicked out right away.”

Both Xuanyuan Ze’s and Lady Cai’s faces darkened.

Xuanyuan Yu came to their rescue. “Lady Northern Feng, it was a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. Ying Er didn’t mean it.”

After that, Xuanyuan Yu shot Xuanyuan Ying an inconspicuous warning glance. “Apologize to Miss Feng now!”

“Why should she apologize?” a cold voice interjected just then.

“Aunt —”

Xuanyuan Ying’s eyes lit up when she saw who it was.

It was none other than Xuanyuan Xueyue, the daughter of the Xuanyuan family who had married out.

Xuanyuan Xueyue had never been on friendly terms with Lady Northern Feng, for she could have married the Northern Feng General, but in the end, the man married Lady Northern Feng instead.

For that, Xuanyuan Xueyue still hated Lady Northern Feng.

She had known that Lady Northern Feng was here the moment the latter arrived, and had come over just to make Lady Northern Feng’s life harder.

“Oh my, I was just wondering who it was. Isn’t it our famous Lady Northern Feng?” Xuanyuan Xueyue walked in at an elegant pace, then darted a sidelong glance at Lady Northern Feng.

“Aunt —” Holding Xuanyuan Xueyue’s arm, Xuanyuan Ying cried in grievance.

Xuanyuan Xueyue stroked Xuanyuan Ying’s hair. “Good girl. What happened? Tell me. I’ll back you up.”

“Aunt —” Xuanyuan Ying said between broken sobs, “Lady Northern Feng wasn’t here at first and Feng Wu came on her own. All I did was ask her if she had an invitation. What was wrong with that? If she didn’t have one, she shouldn’t be here, right?”

Xuanyuan Ying went on crying. “She never told me her relationship with Northern Feng Mansion, and Northern Feng Mansion never announced that Feng Wu was a member of their family…”

As Xuanyuan Ying cried, she made sure to give excuses for her conduct. She had done nothing wrong and shouldn’t be blamed. It was everyone else’s fault. She was the most innocent person on earth.

It just so happened that she had a point.

Northern Feng Mansion had indeed never made the announcement that Feng Wu was a daughter of the family.

Seeing the baffled look on Lady Northern Feng’s face, Xuanyuan Xueyue was excited.

“Lady Northern Feng, Northern Feng Mansion should be the one to blame. You’re the only one to make that claim, and we have no way of knowing if it’s the truth. You can say whatever you like.” Xuanyuan Xueyue snorted. “So, my family did nothing wrong here.”

Lady Northern Feng was going to say something when Xuanyuan Xueyue cut her off. “Lady Northern Feng, you brought an army here, as if you’re going to execute someone. That aggressive manner is just way too arrogant! That outright insults the Xuanyuan clan!”

Other members of the Xuanyuan clan chimed in. “Yes! You’ve humiliated our clan!”

Xuanyuan Xueyue stared at Lady Northern Feng. “I’m afraid you’ll have to give us an explanation, or there will be consequences! We can go to His Majesty if you want. I’d like to see which side His Majesty will take: his family or the truth!”

Hearing that, Feng Wu frowned a little.This Xuanyuan Xueyue was quite a piece of work. Her little speech just turned what Lady Northern Feng did into the behavior of a bully, forcing Lady Northern Feng’s hand.

Feng Wu was about to say something, but Lady Northern Feng smirked and asked her, “Did you tell them whom you were representing when you came?”

Feng Wu said, “I did.”

Lady Northern Feng stared at Xuanyuan Ying. “Did she or didn’t she?”

Xuanyuan Ying didn’t dare meet Lady Northern Feng’s eyes.

Just then, Mu the Sixth yelled, “Little Feng Wu said it, but Xuanyuan Ying wouldn’t believe her!”

Xuanyuan Ying wasn’t the only one. No one had believed Feng Wu earlier.

Seeing that things were turning in Feng Wu’s favor again, Xuanyuan Xueyue’s eyes darted around, then she smiled. “Goddaughter or not… it’s not like you threw a party or anything. How were we supposed to know? I bet even His Majesty doesn’t know either. Lady Northern Feng, are you holding so many grudges against the Xuanyuan clan that you made up such an excuse to attack us?”

Many people gave Lady Northern Feng suspicious looks after hearing that.

Lady Northern Feng smirked, then drew a scroll out of her wide sleeve, which she handed to Xuanyuan Xueyue with an arrogant glance.

Since all these people suspected that she was mistreating her goddaughter and was using Feng Wu to attack the Xuanyuan clan, Lady Northern Feng decided to show them the evidence. These people had better open their eyes and take a good look!

Xuanyuan Xueyue didn’t see this coming. The next second, an imperial edict was in her hand. Didn’t that light yellow color represent the empire?

“An imperial edict?”

“Lady Northern Feng has an imperial edict with her?”

“What will it say?”

Everyone was curious and surprised. All eyes were on the imperial edict, and everyone had forgotten to blink. They eyed Xuanyuan Xueyue, urging her with their stares to unroll the imperial edict.

Xuanyuan Xueyue’s mind was telling her that the scroll’s content would make her look very bad. Everyone was looking, however, and she didn’t have any other choice.

“By the grace of God and His Majesty the emperor, it is decided that Feng Wu, the daughter of the Feng family… is destined to be Lady Northern Feng’s daughter for her equal stress on integrity and ability, as well as her elegance and virtue. Feng Wu is hereby given the title Princess Feng Wu…”

As Xuanyuan Xueyue read on, her eyes almost popped out.

It was real!

His Majesty had even made Feng Wu a princess!

A princess with a title wasn’t the same as the other princesses out there. This was the most prodigious princess of all!

It was inferior only to a royal princess.

Crack —

The imperial edict fell from Xuanyuan Xueyue’s hands —

Those around Xuanyuan Xueyue were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped!
