Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
07. Hit back

"Is it because of the man who was yesterday ?" Ask the elder carefully.

"Ha ha ha what is he doing and can affect me ?" Ask her with a big laugh.

"You're as good as not lying to yourself, not me meddling too much in your business. It's just that I saw a hidden talent from you, you every time read diligently. It makes me a little amazed by you. " Said the elder while giving him a stick of incense.

"Thank you so much senior for your concern, I'm fine. " Say it while receiving the incense and walking towards the end shelf.

He grinned when he thought about what would happen at home.

"There will be a good show, it will be a pity if it passes. I'll read for a minute. " His murmur, he picked up one of the books that told about the acupuncture points that humans have.

"Ha ha, even I couldn't memorize all of them well in the past. " His words with a bitter smile when remembering his exam for acupuncture points are always the worst.

While in the field of medicine concocting he is the best. His memory of the human point is very limited, this is what gets in his way.

He read seriously and memorized every acupoint, not feeling the incense had run out which signified that he had been here for almost half an hour.

He tidied up the book he had read, then walked out.

"Senior I go home first and not sure if tomorrow will come or not. " Say her with a faint smile behind her veil.

"Hm, the important thing is that you come 20 days a month then I'll give you a book for martial arts. " Said the guard elder.

"Thank you so much senior. " Say her down and walk out.

As soon as he came out he saw Xing Feng still standing there with a guilty face, his eyes gushing out a cold flash.

He walked as if not looking at Xing Feng, the man seemed to be staring at him sadly.

"Fenghuang, I'm sorry. I will not appear in front of you again. " Said Xing Feng in a soft voice.

"I've forgiven you. Maybe we're not a match, you and I have different paths. Take good care of yourself. " Speak before walking away quickly.

Xing Feng who saw that felt extremely regretful, he very rarely saw a woman like Xue Fenghuang who was extremely formidable within the field.

He felt that he was starting to like Fenghuang. But, true to what Xue Fenghuang said, they were not matchmakers and were not on the same path.

On the other hand, Xue Fenghuang walked over to her house with a precipitate. When he got home, his servants immediately greeted him.

"Miss, you're home. Just got the master home and you were sought by the great master. " Said Le Ning with worry.

"Let's go. " Say it without a stale base.

He changed his outermost clothes and walked out with a gentle look. She uses a purple veil, according to her clothes.

Countless servants were staring at his arrival, he was just staring flatly up at the direction of the meeting hall.

There were already, Xue Longque and Lin Yi as well as Xue Ling were being cared for by healers.

"Greetings to Mr. Mayor, Mrs Lin And big sister. Sorry Fenghuang for welcoming you so late. " Say her while looking down.

"Fenghuang, are you sick ? Why is your face so pale ?" Ask Xue Longque.

"It's okay dad, it's just that lately I've been wanting some food. " Say her with shame.

"If you want some food why not tell your servants to buy something ?" Xue Longque asked puzzledly as she stuck out a hand to examine his forehead.

"That's ehm, I I don't have dad's money to buy food. " Say her while looking down.

In his heart, he chuckled lightly for successfully hitting 2 things at once.

"What ? Lin Yi ! Didn't you give Fenghuang any money ?!" Xue Longque coldly asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked misbehaved when asked so by Xue Longque.

"That, that" He cut Lin Yi's words with a pitiful expression.

" The madam has given me 3 bronzes each month, please don't scold Madam Lin. " His speech was as if he was very grateful for Lin Yi's kindness.

"What ?! Only 3 bronze ! Even the waiter in paid 3 Silver every month ! Calm down my daughter, I'll give you a lot of money. " Xue Longque said while holding back emotions.

1 Silver: 100 bronze

1 Gold: 100 Silver

"Servant ! Send 500 Gold Pieces to Second Miss !" The Xue Longque Order.

"Dad, that's too much. " Say her.

"Not my daughter, this is what you deserve. If it's less then you can ask me again. " Said Xue Longque.

"No, I don't dare you. " Say her.

"Don't hesitate, you're one of my daughters. " Xue Longque said as he patted his shoulder.

He snorted in his heart when he heard this.

'You said this when your daughter was gone ? You are late ! But if you do good then there is nothing wrong with saving your life.' His thinking.

The servants took one Golden chest with some jewelry for her.

"Thank you so much dad. " Say her.

"You don't have to be too shy, if in the future find trouble then you just have to ask her with me. " Said Xue Longque.

"Okay dad, then Fenghuang will not hesitate. " His speech, Xue Longque smiled.

It was indeed not wrong to call the residence of Xue the number 3 richest in the Zhu Empire.

If Empire number 1 and Duke Yuanzheng's Residence were number 2 then number 3 belonged to the residence of Xue.

Every month, more than 10,000 gold pieces entered the Xue family. Not to mention the various jewels that the sycophant families gave to remain under the Xue Family.

"Master, Fenghuang looks like she's been really up lately. He even dared to throw me out yesterday. " Said Lin Yi.

"Fenghuang, is that really what your mother said ?" Xue Longque asked while frowning.

"Huh ? What did Mrs Lin mean. Then dad, there's one thing you should know, my mom's dead. If I call someone else a mother, then I'm afraid I'll be cursed as an ungodly child. " Take it with a sad tone.

"What do you mean ?! Your servant obviously did badly to me yesterday !" Said Lin Yi in a high tone.

"Mrs Lin, that waitress is from you. It should have been trained, right ? You shouldn't have given me a lowly maid, should you ? Anyway, what do you mean ? You didn't even come to my residence yesterday. " Say her in an innocent tone.

Lin Yi's loyal servant was summoned and forced to kneel in front of Xue Longque.

"Sir, I testified that Madam left last night for 1 hour and went home with a moody face." The servant said.

"Did you see where your mistress went ?" Ask her.

"Of course not, madam won't let me follow her. " Said the waiter.

"How do you know if your mistress came to my place ? Father, if you don't believe it then you can call the 5 maids that Mrs Lin gave you to testify. " Say her with a faint smile.

The five servants were called and gave the same testimony as her. Lin Yi's face was deathly pale.

"Master I didn't lie, indeed I came to his place. " Said Lin Yi with a brick stammer.

"Dad, don't scold Mrs Lin. Maybe he really needed my name to meet someone 'mysterious'. It's just, that I don't think why go without a waitress ?"

"If it's indeed to Fenghuang's place, why not bring along a servant. Then Madam Lin came home after an hour or so, but it didn't take 10 minutes to go and go back to my place if indeed Madam Lin was kicked out at Fenghuang's place. Even more suspicious, why did Madam Lin come home in such a messy condition ?" Ask her ambiguously.

He wanted to make Xue Longque think that Lin Yi was cheating on him.

"You ! You, you poisonous girl !" Shouted Lin Yi while pointing her pointer.

Plakk

Lin Yi's face in a slap that made the woman speechless, she closed her eyes as if she was afraid of this scene.

"Fenghuang, you go first. It's not good to see by you. " Xue Longque said with attention.

"Okay dad, thank you for your concern. All of them, let's go back !" His orders on his servants.

"Fine miss. " Reply them in unison.

He walked past Lin Yi who was staring at him hatefully.

"I told you, don't play with me" whispered very slowly that only the two of them could hear her.

Her hair was pulled, she grimaced and looked unable to fight back. But silent she kept them some of Lin Yi's acupoints, which made the woman unable to move her hands.

"Ah ! It hurts so much !"Shouted her with the temple and with reddened eyes to add to the perfection of her acting.

"What are you doing ?!" Shouted Xue Longqur before pulling Lin Yi forcibly.

His hand nudged the acupoints back which made Lin Yi able to re-move her arms.

"Dad, I'll go home first. " Say him nervously.

Once in her yard, she snorted when she saw her hair was a little falling out.

"Miss, why don't you fight ?" Ask the waiter.

"Lin Yi may indeed be a hostess without strength but do not underestimate her two children. I still can't fight them, I still have to be careful. After all, with these few strands of hair I can exchange them for Lin Yi's punishment. I wouldn't mind for that. " Say her.

He threw his veil carelessly, which was immediately caught by one of his servants.

"Miss, what do you want with this gold ?" Ask Le Ning.

"Let's go, you all wear my clothes and use the veil. We're gonna buy guns. " Say her with a faint smile.

"Are you really ?! Let's go ! "Said the servants excitedly.

He chuckled, they went through the window. Their appearance was quite eye-catching, her gaze was shifted on a building that was written on sale in front of her.

"Le Ning, after coming home from here find the owner of the building. We'll sell some things soon." Her speech.

"Are you sure, miss ?" Ask Le Ning.

"Hm, let's go. The gun shop is at the end of the road. " Say her.

Once at the end of the street, they could see a luxurious building. This is the biggest Weapon Shop in Kuwei City.

"Welcome miss, if I may know, what do you want ?" Ask one of the servants politely.

"I want to buy a flexible sword. Do you have her ?" Ask her.

"Of course we have her, it's just that it's so rare that we only have one." The servant said.

"Bring it out and let me see it. " Take it cold.

The waiter nodded and brought out a medium-sized wooden box, it was very dusty.

When he opened it pointed at a shrimp sword, but it did not immediately make him give up. He lifted it up and checked its malleability.

"I want this. Let me see some kind of whip. " Say her.

"Because the flexible sword has only one, I will give you a whip. Nothing is too different. " His word to his servants.

"We'll go with the lady. " The word Le Ning represents another.

More than 10 boxes were brought out and inside her there were many whips.

"Choose the one you want right, the main right for a new comfortable decoration. "His advice.

"Fine miss. " Said the servants.

His gaze was fixed on the exquisite Red Whip with the Phoenix decoration. It is compatible with the sword that has the inscription 'Fenghuang' which means Phoenix.

It was in accordance with his name, he ascertained whether his quality was good or not. After making sure that his quality is good, he decided to take it.

"I took this too. " Say her while giving up on the waiter.

Some other whips were taken by his servants.

"Miss, all of them amounted to 15 Gold Pieces and 57 Silver. " Said the servant counting all his.

"Because we buy a lot, then you have to give me a cheaper price. " Say her with a light curdiness.

"15 Gold Pieces is the lowest price, miss. " Said the waiter wrongly.

He nodded and gave out 15 Gold Coins.

"Miss, I can give you a gift in exchange. " Said the maid while taking out a ring and giving the ring to her.
