Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

The elders who came to watch were all astonished at this, especially elder Teng Yuan. It was one thing to hear, but seeing with his own eyes was another thing. The shock that Feng Qi Qi brought to elder Teng Yuan was so great that he couldn’t help but stare at Feng Qi Qi.
“How did you do it? Our spell are never divulged to outsiders!” Elder Teng Yuan stared at Feng Qi Qi. He knew that Feng Cang could pass, was thanks to those repeatedly murmured words of Feng Qi Qi at the beginning. Could it be that she secretly learned their spell? But why was there a string with a copper coin in her hand, which was somewhat different from the spell of the Qiang tribe? This was the most confusing part to elder Teng Yuan.
“Elder wants to now? This is our Feng family’s secret technique!” Feng Qi Qi could see the dejection and deterioration from the face of elder Teng Yuan. It seemed that this Elder had been deeply addicted to drugs. “It seems that elder didn’t follow my advice and still took the Immortal cream. Is elder really not afraid of death?”
The seriousness in the eyes of Feng Qi Qi made elder Teng Yuan’s heart tighten all of a sudden. Although Longze Jing Tian and the others didn’t admit that they kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, but when they rushed to his home for help that night, he should already see it coming that they did something unspeakable. The culprits who kidnapped Gu Yan Wan were absolutely Longze Jing Tian, those three people.
If he was caught in conspiracy with outsiders, he would surely be ridiculed by the Qiang tribe’s people. Maybe even be expelled from the Qiang tribe. What should he do? He lived here for his whole life. If by any chance, he was expelled from the White Bird mountain because of those three people. Then wouldn’t he be a falling leaf that is unable to return to the roots when he died?

The face of elder Teng Yuan was extremely ugly, and his voice became lower, “Do you have any way to get rid of my addiction?”
Elder Teng Yuan said it like this made Feng Qi Qi certain that this opium was really given to him by someone. But what was the purpose?
“I can help you, but the process of quitting the drug is long. It has many obstacles that ordinary people can’t bear. Although the drug addiction of elder isn’t serious. However, if you continue in this way, it’s difficult to guarantee that you won’t die from opium.”
“Opium? So the Immortal cream is actually called this name.” Elder Teng Yuan was a bit hesitant. He could hear the truth in Feng Qi Qi’s words. Recently, in the tribe, he also heard a lot of things about Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. The people of the tribe all praised them. Feng Qi Qi wouldn’t deceive people, and there was no need to deceive him.
However, when he thought about the happiness that the Immortal cream brought to him, elder Teng Yuan wanted to yawn.
“Yawning repeatedly, tears welling up. Elder, do you want to take the immortal cream?” Feng Qi Qi saw that elder Teng Yuan wasn’t right. She pulled out a silver needle from her hand and put it into Elder Teng Yuan’s temple.
“You, what are you doing?” It was painful. So, elder Teng Yuan wanted to pull out the silver needle, but was stopped by Feng Qi Qi.
“Save you! Help you to suppress drug addiction! Elder doesn’t want to be controlled by opium and without the freedom to act independently, and finally betray yourself right?!”
Feng Qi Qi didn’t know that the person who gave Elder Teng Yuan the Immortal cream was Duyi. She just thought that using opium to manipulate the elders of Qiang tribe must be sinister. However, her words happened to touch the sensitive spot of elder Teng Yuan. He snorted, and pulled out the silver needle and threw it to Feng Qi Qi, “Don’t go speculate on others, I hate such self-righteous people the most!”
Elder Teng Yuan swung his sleeve and walked furiously away. As if someone was chasing behind him, and soon he disappeared.
Feng Cang successfully passed the two tests ‘mountain of daggers and sea of flames’, not only made the people of Qiang tribe amazed. They particularly worshipped this regent from Bei Zhou and even gave him a title of warrior. If Feng Cang could pass the third test, then he was a hero thoroughly.
“Four days later, enter dragon pool! If the regent can pass this last test, we will certainly get rid of the gu poison of little shizi!” When Gu De announced the news, the people on the field applauded and cheered for Feng Cang and Feng Qi Qi. The interaction of these days made them already acknowledge these people from Bei Zhou. They were very fond of Feng Cang and the others, and sincerely hoped that Feng Cang could successfully pass the third test.
After returning to the residence, Jin Mo took out Nalan Xin’s confidential letter and handed it to Feng Cang. “There’s a situation at home.”
“What’s the situation?” Wanyan Kang who was at the side, heard it and immediately came over.
After Feng Cang read the letter, he handed it to Wanyan Kang. When he (WK) finished reading the contents of the letter, Wanyan Kang shout out, “Wanyan Hong is really shameless. He actually resurfaced again. What the hell?! Even more, he wants to fight with his son over the throne. He really have no shame!”
It turned out that Wanyan Hong launched a coup d’état with the support of the prime minister. However, there were Dongfang Lan and Feng Xie. In addition, Nalan Xin and Su Yue also stayed in Yan capital. His (WH) restoration hadn’t begun yet, but was already discovered. Now, DongFang Lan had sent a letter and asked Feng Cang how to deal with this matter.
“Cousin, Wanyan Hong really never change. It’s better to ‘kacha’ him!”
What Wanyan Kang’s ‘kacha’ meant, was to kill him (WH) to avoid later troubles. Anyhow, he (WH) was the biological father of Wanyan Jie. If Wanyan Jie wasn’t the emperor, there was no need to keep the life of Wanyan Hong. However, there was a blood relationship between them. He (FC) was afraid that the title of killing biological father wouldn’t be good for Wanyan Jie.
“I think, it’s better to let him die of an illness.” Feng Cang didn’t speak out. Feng Qi Qi knew his (FC) inner thoughts. He (FC) was considering the reputation of Wanyan Jie in the future. So she said her opinion, “People get sick, drag for a year and a half, he will eventually die. This way, it won’t make things difficult for Jie er in the future….”
“Qing Qing’s thoughts is the same as what I thought. If ordering to kill Wanyan Hong. Jie er is still young, so it will leave a mark in his heart. Just follow what Qing Qing said!”
Previously, they were already wary of possible changes in Bei Zhou. Feng Cang had made people to watch the movements of the court’s officials carefully. He didn’t expect to actually have caught them. After this incident, Bei Zhou was now really settled down and entered a stage of stable development.
The news of Feng Cang had passed the second test and only the third test remained, was passed on Longze Jing Tian and the others by elder Teng Yuan. As soon as Longze Jing Tian heard that Feng Cang would enter the dragon pool, he slightly furrowed. This was an opportunity and Longze Jing Tian was waiting for this opportunity.

In the period before Feng Cang came, Longze Jing Tian, Duyi and Taji Guli went to the dragon pool first.
From the beginning, he (LJT) already felt that Feng Cang was no ordinary man. The first two tests must be held in the village of the Qiang tribe, so it wasn’t a good place to take action. Therefore, they set the opportunity at the third test. Now, Feng Cang was really, like he (LJT) had imagined, successfully passed the tests of mounting the mountain of daggers and going through the sea of flames. The remaining test was to enter the dragon pool, which was their chance.
“What are you all going to do?” Elder Teng Yuan looked at Longze Jing Tian. He knew that this young man was the leader of the three. Although he (LJT) didn’t have much to say, the other two seemed
to listen to him (LJT).
“Elder, we need your help!”
“Help? Alright, but you all have to eat this.” Elder Teng Yuan opened his hands, and there were three pills lying inside.
“What is this?” Taji Guli was shocked after seeing elder Teng Yuan like this, “Old man, what do you mean?”
“Feng Qi Qi told me that this Immortal cream isn’t a good thing, but a poison that controls people’s hearts and makes people addicted. This is premeditated right?! You just want to get addicted to he drug to control me, right?”
Elder Teng Yuan looked at the three people in front of him, especially Duyi. When he (TY) said these words, Duyi’s eyes flickered once, and he (TY) had a conclusion in his heart. It seemed that what Feng Qi Qi said was tight. The purpose of these people was indeed so despicable.
“Elder, what are you saying?! Don’t listen to Feng Qi Qi. Don’t you know better than us what the Immortal cream is!” Duyi smiled cunningly, but elder Teng Yuan wasn’t someone who was easily botched.
“It’s possible to let me believe you all. Eat the gu. I will believe you all then!”
It turned out that the pills in the hand of elder Teng Yuan weren’t medicine pills, but the eggs of gu. Listening to what he (TY) said, made Taji Guli immediately nauseous. It was really disgusting. He (TY) actually wanted them to eat gu, “Elder Teng Yuan, what‘s the meaning of this? Feng Qi Qi is clearly provoking the relationships between us. Why do you believe her so much rather than us?”
The usual friendly look of Elder Teng Yuan had disappeared and looked a bit gloomy now. “If you don’t eat it means that you harbors ulterior motives!”
“How do we know that elder is still on our side? What if elder is bribed by Feng Qi Qi and just wants to deceive us to eat the gu, and then take our lives? Elder, don’t you agree?” Duyi didn’t react as extreme as Taji Guli. Though he was smiling, his words were full of thorns.
“If I partner with Feng Qi Qi, do you think you all are still safe and sound here? After you all eat it, I’ll definitely help you all get rid of the gu. Could it be that you don’t trust me?”
The answer was definitely a yes. On all three people’s faces were written ‘We don’t believe you’. This was an indirect refusal and confirmed elder Teng Yuan’s inners thoughts even more. It wasn’t gu in his palm, but just ordinary medicine pills. It was only used to test them. But didn’t expect them to not be able to withstand the test. It seemed that Feng Qi Qi was right.
Elder Teng Yuan stared at these three people. His expression was a little weird, but in the end, he still put away the pills. “Since you all don’t want to eat, I won’t force you anymore. However, we don’t trust each other, so there’s no need for us to continue our mutual benefit. You all can leave!”
The faces of the three weren’t good when elder Teng Yuan suddenly asked them to leave. You must know that although Gu Yun Wan was found, the people of Qiang tribe didn’t give up on the search of the culprit. Everyone was very angry at the injury of Gu Yun Wan. Every day, a small group of Qiang tribe’s people patrolled the White Bird mountain. Elder Teng Yuan drove them out at this moment, he undoubtedly wanted to cut off their relationship, and drove them to a dead end.
“Is elder not afraid that we might give you away after we are caught?” Longze Jing Tian, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth, “I heard that the Qiang tribe’s punishment for traitors is very grave. If chief Gu De knows that you let us kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, you say, can Gu De still tolerate you?”
The true colors of Longze Jing Tian made elder Teng Yuan feel that this person was a shameless person. It was obvious that the three of them kidnapped Gu Yun Wan, but it had now turned into his, elder Teng Yuan’s idea. It seemed that these people were really ungrateful. He really couldn’t tell people apart.
However, they had forgotten that he (TY) was the most arrogant elder Teng Yuan of the Qiang tribe, how could he (TY) be threatened by them. “Thinking of our friendly relations, I’ll let you all go. If you still don’t leave, I’ll put gu on you all. Do you all like the feeling of being bitten by gu worms?”
As soon as the voice dropped, a fleshy worm appeared in the hand of Elder Teng Yuan. Taji Guli was frightened and then looked at Longze Jing Tian.
“Let’s go!” Longze Jing Tian knew that elder Teng Yuan wasn’t joking with them. After a deep look at elder Teng Yuan, Longze Jing Tian took Duyi and Taji Guli, and left elder Teng Yuan’s house.
After the three left, Elder Teng Yuan took out the Immortal cream and sighed. He didn’t even know that such a good thing was poison, and would make people addicted. Now, his body’s drug withdrawal symptoms occurred again. He couldn’t help but wanted to put some in the tobacco pipe and smoked it. But when his hand opened the box lid, that pretty face of Feng Qi Qi , and the words that she said suddenly appeared in front of him
On one side was the temptation of the Immortal cream, and on the other side was the words of Feng Qi Qi. It was difficult for Elder Teng Yuan to choose.
Just a little bit…. Elder Teng Yuan was already shaking a bit. When he was about to scoop out the Immortal cream, a gust of wind swept over and the Immortal cream fell off of his hand. When he looked up again, Gu De and Feng Qi Qi were standing in front of him.
“Ch…Chief….” The hand of elder Teng Yuan couldn’t stop trembling, but at this moment the Immortal cream was more important to him. He crawled on the ground and reached out to pick up the Immortal cream that was smacked to the ground by Gu De. But just as he was about to reach it, it was kicked farther away by Gu De.
“Princess, I have trouble you!”
Gu De was heartbroken after seeing the appearance of elder Teng Yuan. Previously, Gu De thought that the opium that Feng Qi Qi had mentioned was just an ordinary addictive drug. Now, seeing Elder Teng Yuan looking like this because of the Immortal cream, Gu De detested the Immortal cream bitterly.
“Someone. Seal the mountain and go find the whereabouts of the three!”
It turned out that Feng Qi Qi had long noticed that elder Teng Yuan was suspicious. But because he was the elder of the Qiang tribe, so Feng Qi Qi informed Gu De about it. Therefore, Gu De had sent some people to watch over elder Teng Yuan, but didn’t expect the truth of the matter to be like this.
Feng Qi Qi also didn’t expect that the person who gave Elder Teng Yuan the Immortal cream would be Longze Jing Tian, not to mention Taji Guli and Duyi were also here. It seemed that these three people were really unbeatable cockroaches with strong vitality!
At this moment, Elder Teng Yuan’s face was already covered in tears and snots. The symptoms of drug withdrawal started again and he couldn’t control it. But the sanity left in his mind didn’t let him snatch the Immortal cream from Gu De’s hand.
“Please help me put elder Teng Yuan on the bed and bound his hands and feet.”
Immediately, four people came up and put elder Teng Yuan on the bed, and tied the hands and feet of Elder Teng Yuan to the bed frame with a rope. On the way here, Gu De already said to the people to obey Feng Qi Qi‘s orders, even if her request was too much. Gu De didn’t speak, so the four men did according to the instructions of Feng Qi Qi.
“Give me, give me a little… I beg you….”
At this moment, elder Teng Yuan had no longer the appearance that a tribe’s elder should have. He looked so poor and so fragile. No one had ever seen Elder Teng Yuan like this before.
“Please, give me a little, a little bit is alright….”
Even though Gu De once suspected the ability of opium, but seeing such an appearance of Elder Teng Yuan now. This kind of suspicion also flew beyond the topmost clouds and became the absolute belief in Feng Qi Qi. It was indeed a terrible poison. It could actually make people like this… with no self-respect.
Beyond the topmost clouds: unimaginably far away.
“I beg you….”
The withdrawal symptoms came up like ten thousand ant bites. Elder Teng Yuan felt very uncomfortable. He had ne
ver tried this kind of taste where living was worse than death. Now, he could only look thirstily at the Immortal cream in Gu De’s hands. His eyes were full of longing, “Give me, give me the Immortal cream!”
Not waiting for elder Teng Yuan to struggle, the silver needle of Feng Qi Qi had been inserted into his body. It made elder Teng Yuan, who was about to fall apart, under control.
“His drug addiction is only moderate, it can still be cured.”
The words of Feng Qi Qi made Gu De calm down. It was good that there was a way to solve the problem. He was worried that this Immortal cream was incurable. Elder Teng Yuan would then really be ruined.
The matter that elder Teng Yuan became addicted to drugs was soon made public by Gu De. In the beginning, the other elders didn’t believe it. But when they came to the home of elder Teng Yuan and saw the appearance of that old man on the bed, the elders were shocked.
“There’s actually such a terrible poison in the world? If such a poison is used as a bad thing, the world will be disrupted!” The great elder had an implacable hate towards the Immortal cream after seeing the immortal cream. Other elders also nodded repeatedly and classified the Immortal cream as a poison.
“Who is the person who poisoned Elder Teng Yuan? Who have such deep hatred toward him?”
After fifth elder said this, Feng Qi Qi told the whole story to them. As soon as they heard that the three men turned out to be fugitives of the mainland, the four elders immediately became furious.
“They have fled to our White Bird mountain. Do they think our Qiang tribe’s people are easy to bully?! Chief, Longze Jing Tian and the others provoked our Qiang tribe over and over again. First, kidnapping great miss and now they made Teng Yuan become addicted to drugs. What sort of place do these people think our Qiang tribe is? I urge the chief to let us go into the mountains and find these three bastards, and kill them to avenge great miss and Teng Yuan!”
