The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1017 Distribution
The princess left Zhao Chen's room in a "hasty" manner, and only after returning to her own palace did she let out a deep sigh.

She didn't know if her disheveled appearance was due to fear of being caught by Feng Wan in an intimate moment with Zhao Chen, or to avoid the embarrassment of being "rejected"...

Perhaps both, but she still felt a little resentful—she had been so proactive, yet the man hadn't taken advantage of her, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

However, Ming Hongyue also knew that she couldn't blame Young Master Chen; the pollution within her mind was probably so troublesome that even he wasn't entirely confident in its handling...

"Young Master Chen should know something about my special characteristics, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately changed the subject... But his attitude itself shows that my 'origins' are very problematic, which is why I have been targeted by the 'Four Fiends Hall' and those so-called ancient emperors."

"Perhaps my father and mother suffered because of me..."

Thinking of this, Ming Hongyue pursed her lips, her eyes slightly confused, but she quickly became determined: "No matter what, Ming Zihao is the culprit who caused my parents' misfortune and my more than ten years of suffering. I must avenge this!"
"Besides, even if it's just for my father and mother, I have to live on, I have to live on by any means necessary!"
"And the only person who can help me survive is Young Master Chen... Even if I had fallen for him, or even if I loathed him, I would force myself to be close to him..."

"Not to mention such outstanding individuals who have the potential to reach the 'Dongxuan' realm, and even the potential to 'ascend to the Xuan' realm... what reason do I have to give up?"

"Didn't you see that Feng Wan, a giant in theory but a dwarf in action, has abandoned all her reserve?"

After finally managing to mentally prepare herself and cast aside the shame, anger, and resentment deep within her, Ming Hongyue thought of Feng Wan, who was most likely in Zhao Chen's bed at the moment, and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy: "Having the 'Nine Heavens Immortal Body' that can help him, he really is lucky."

Thinking of her own discomfort in this "neither here nor there" state, Ming Hongyue couldn't help but pout, furrow her brows, arch her back, and curl her toes... After a while, she let out a long sigh and muttered to herself, "Fortunately, that 'birdman' is gone, so there are many things I can do that it couldn't know."

……

Meanwhile, Feng Wan, who was the envy of many, was nervously undergoing a physical examination.

Having conducted in-depth research on the "Nine Netherworld Divine Body" and gained considerable knowledge from the "Birdman" today, Zhao Chen is quite knowledgeable about the "Nine Heavens Immortal Body," understanding both its advantages and disadvantages.

The reason he wanted to examine Feng Wan's body was to find out if there were any hidden dangers in the "Nine Heavens Secret Sword Book" supernatural power used to awaken her physique.

Although in the "birdman's" memory there was nothing wrong with this supernatural power, no one could guarantee that the knowledge it stored was entirely without problems.

Especially after Zhao Chen learned about the specific effects of "Mysterious Female Spring," one of the three prerequisite spells for this supernatural power, he became even more suspicious.

After a while, Zhao Chen withdrew his "investigation" ability, but his expression became somewhat strange, a mixture of curiosity and gritted teeth...

"How is it? Is there really a problem?" Feng Wan asked anxiously upon seeing this.

Zhao Chen came to his senses and said in a complicated tone, "No, there's nothing wrong with this supernatural power, and there are no hidden dangers... No, that's not right either, but even if there are 'hidden dangers,' they have nothing to do with you..." The main thing is that this "secret sword" is truly "secret." He suspects that he might be the first one to be hit by such a sword... Could it be that the person behind the "birdman" passed down such a profound and mysterious divine power so that the "Nine Heavens Immortal Body" could preserve its primordial yin until the "ascension to profundity" stage?
"Fortunately, my physique is comparable to that of a 'martial arts cultivator,' and I also possess the 'Binding Calamity Suppressing Ring,' so a mere third-grade divine power shouldn't be able to harm me..." Zhao Chen muttered to himself for a moment, then outwardly changed the subject:

"Your family's third-grade divine ability 'Snowflakes Drifting Across the Mortal World' requires five prerequisite spells, the 'Snow God Ice Crystal Sword' that Red Moon found for you requires four, and this 'Nine Heavens Secret Sword Book' requires three more, totaling twelve spell slots... So what do you plan for the remaining six?"

Feng Wan realized that the problem with the "Nine Heavens Secret Sword Book" shouldn't be too serious, so she calmed down and answered Zhao Chen's question: "I also cultivate a fifth-grade divine ability of my family called 'Mysterious Frost Feather Robe,' which has both defensive and flight capabilities and occupies four spell slots."

"So, there are only two left?" Zhao Chen nodded, then smiled and said, "Then I'll recommend a divine power to you, which will also help you balance the influence of the Snow Goddess and the Mystic Maiden. After all, two powerful sources are not stable, so a three-way balance is the most prudent."

"What is it?" Feng Wan asked curiously and expectantly.

"It is a divine ability from a powerful being from another dimension, called 'Reverse Prediction of the Future,' which is ranked second and only requires two spell slots."

"It allows you to observe the most likely paths of fate and obtain 'prophecies,' which can be considered to make up for your lack of calculative means." After briefly introducing this supernatural power obtained from the "Rossel Memorial Exhibition," Zhao Chen took out the corresponding Qi of Gangsha given as a reward during the settlement of the Taixiao Secret Realm and handed it to Feng Wan.

In his mind, he had already made arrangements for the several second-grade divine abilities he had obtained from that other-dimensional projection world:

"Reverse Prediction of the Future" is given to Feng Wan; "Taiyin Immortal Body" must be given to Ning Meng; "Demon Heart Curse" can sense malice, arouse the desires of others, and curse them. It cannot be used by anyone but those with a strong will. This was naturally prepared for the Princess, which perfectly made up for her "early warning" means after losing "Birdman".

—Because Hongyue ran off in such a hurry, Zhao Chen hadn't had a chance to give it to her yet, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

As for the final "World-Destroying Demon Fire," it is actually more suitable for Sister Hongxia, but her spell slots were already full after she went to "Worry-Free Cave" and obtained the opportunity from the White Jade Sect, so she can no longer use it.

Therefore, Su Xuanbing had previously preserved the fierce energy of the "World-Destroying Demon Fire," intending to give it to the little girl Hong Xiaoxi, who possessed the destiny or true spirit of "Fire of Kagutsuchi," in the future.

Feng Wanxin happily accepted the metal box containing the aura of malevolent energy and solemnly put it into her storage bag. She knew how precious this kind of "prophetic" supernatural power was, so she was very moved.

Furthermore, the young master had previously promised to find her the "Ancient Ice Soul True Water Fiend," which she had never even heard of before, so the tenderness in her eyes as she looked at Zhao Chen was overflowing.

So this elegant and refined woman twirled a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingers, and, mimicking a scene from a certain video story, slowly bent down...

"Hiss..." Zhao Chen gasped. The Feng family's "Snow Falls on Earth" was indeed quite something. Even the prerequisite spell "Breathe Turns into Frost" was quite powerful.
