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.”
