Chapter 6: 006 [Heaven Slaying Arc] Where Did the Hairpin Come From?

When did this fool become so sharp-tongued? Feng Hantian's gaze was fixed on Feng Yunmo. That small face couldn't be called particularly beautiful, but there was no fluctuation in her expression as she spoke; her usual submissiveness had been replaced today by an apparent surge of confidence.

Just what was different? Feng Hantian couldn't quite put his finger on it. Furthermore, the trace of disdain in the depths of Feng Yunmo's eyes left him feeling somewhat surprised.

Disdain? Disdain, my foot. Normally, she would refer to herself as the future Crown Princess in front of the maids. Having only been away for a few days, how could she have changed so much? It must be an illusion.

She's probably just trying to play hard to get in front of the Crown Prince.

However, why isn't that fool acting like a fool anymore? Could it be that she recovered because of the Crown Prince's palm strike a few days ago?

Just as Feng Hantian was preparing to order someone to drag Feng Yunmo back to her dilapidated courtyard as if she were a fool, Lüying found her way over: "Miss, Miss, Miss..."

The Crown Prince, Feng Hantian, and martial artist guards no lower than the third stage of the Jade Step were particularly conspicuous standing before Moon-Printing Lake. As soon as she stepped onto the Moon-Printing lawn, Lüying saw that pale blue figure in the crowd, standing behind the Crown Prince.

Lüying called out even louder: "Miss, Miss..."

Feng Yunmo looked toward Lüying, who was running toward her. Since arriving in this different world, the expression she saw most often on Lüying's face was anxiety and restlessness, as if she were terrified that Feng Yunmo would slip away and cause trouble.

Her heart stirred slightly. This little girl was the first person to care for her after she arrived here. Seeing her reminded her of Feng Yunlian; she wondered if Feng Yunlian had also traveled to another time and space like her. If she had also been reborn like her, she hoped Feng Yunlian could love her a little more.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Miss, and Fourth Young Miss." Lüying bowed slightly, then walked behind Mu Lingjun and grabbed Feng Yunmo's arm, saying, "Miss, why are you running around everywhere? Lüying has searched for you so hard."

"Oh, my hairpin fell into the grass, and I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Come, come, come, help me look for it." After saying that, she pulled Lüying toward the grass piles.

Lüying pulled back forcefully on Feng Yunmo, saying, "My silly Miss, you don't even have a hairpin."

"Ah, I don't have a hairpin? Then why did my Fourth Sister say she would help me find it? Lüying, did you steal my hairpin and lie to me saying I don't have one?" Suddenly, she grabbed Lüying's arm, brought her face close, and asked with a serious, solemn expression.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone treated her like a fool, they might actually believe Lüying had stolen her hairpin.

Feng Hantian, who had initially suspected Feng Yunmo was acting normal, let out another cold snort, abandoning his conclusion that she wasn't a fool.

How was this not acting like a fool? In his eyes, she had simply been struck even dumber by the Crown Prince's palm strike.

Meanwhile, Feng Yunyi, who had just said she would help Feng Yunmo find her hairpin, suddenly turned deathly pale. She hurriedly took the hairpin from her own head while Mu Lingjun wasn't looking.

She walked up to Feng Yunmo, grabbed her hand, and said, "Seventh Sister, isn't this the hairpin? It was already found when you pushed me into the water just now. If you hadn't had another relapse and pushed me into the water, this hairpin would have been back in your hands long ago."

"My hairpin is back!" Taking the hairpin, she exclaimed, "Lüying, the hairpin is found! Quick, let's go pawn it, exchange it for money, exchange it for money-money!"

She dragged Lüying, running as fast as she could toward her small courtyard. Lüying was left completely bewildered; since when did her Miss have such an expensive hairpin?

As for Feng Yunyi, she was so angry her teeth nearly shattered. That was the jade hairpin her mother had custom-made for her, a unique piece crafted from a magical beast crystal. Its value could buy three luxury mansions. If it were taken to exchange for an Accelerated Cultivation Pill for Mystic Masters, it could fetch one pill.

One pill. If one had good talent, they could jump straight to the second rank; if their talent was average, they could at least rise to the first rank. However, a cultivator could only take one pill every three years; otherwise, their physical essence would die abruptly due to the inability to withstand the load of the accelerated advancement.

Thinking about it, Feng Yunyi almost wanted to jump into the lake again. That fool actually planned to pawn her hairpin—how infuriating.
