Chapter 9: Chapter 77: An Appointment in the Forest

Previously, the Feng family had attempted to bribe the Yama Hall to deal with them to no avail; it wasn't impossible that they had come up with such a scheme now!

Feng Chuge lifted her foot and headed into the forest.

Inside the woods, gusts of yin wind blew incessantly.

Because of its remote location, the occasional cries of wild beasts could be heard drifting through the air...

Just as they continued deeper into the forest, a voice transmitted through spiritual power suddenly rang out from mid-air—

"Feng Chuge, only you are allowed to enter. If there is anyone else, this little brat will lose his life immediately."

Feng Chuge's footsteps faltered.

Her pupils contracted slightly—

Just as she had suspected, this voice belonged to Feng Chaoyang!!

"Wait outside, I'll be out in a moment..."

"Miss, it really is that old bastard Feng Chaoyang! Miss, you absolutely must not let him go!!" Zi Lan also recognized Feng Chaoyang's voice and spoke indignantly.

They weren't worried about Feng Chuge at all; they knew their Miss's strength. They feared that even if ten Feng Chaoyangs showed up, none would be her match!

Feng Chuge narrowed her eyes, a trace of chill curling at the corners of her lips...

Of course, now that things had reached this point, she certainly wouldn't let Feng Chaoyang off...

All of this was of Feng Chaoyang's own making!!

Pushing herself forward, Feng Chuge headed into the forest in the direction where the voice had come from.

Ahead, there were several bright fires.

As Feng Chuge approached, she indeed saw several people gathered in a circle not far away.

Among them, Feng Chaoyang, dressed in a long black robe, stood at the front of the group.

Feng Chaoyang's face was full of gloom; as he looked at the lone woman in yellow approaching, his expression grew increasingly ruthless.

"What kind of achievement is catching a child? Is the once-mighty Head of the Feng Family now only capable of this much?" Feng Chuge landed from mid-air, glanced at the unconscious and bound A-Chen to the side, and sneered.

That laugh carried traces of mockery and killing intent.

Instead of being angry, Feng Chaoyang laughed...

"Feng Chuge, you truly do care about this little brat. It seems we caught the right person..."

Having said that, he shot a glance at a man in black standing to the side.

Seeing this, the man stepped forward and grabbed A-Chen by the throat.

"I won't waste any more words. If you want to save this child, first hand over the property deeds and land titles of my Feng family, and then commit suicide here. Otherwise, we will kill him!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the person clutching A-Chen's throat clearly increased the pressure of his grip.

Feng Chuge's gaze swept over the unconscious A-Chen, who was being held hostage on the ground, her eyes overflowing with cold light.

"Feng Chaoyang... do you think you can defeat me?" Feng Chuge raised her eyes and sneered.

"Perhaps not before, but right now, I hold leverage over you." Feng Chaoyang's eyes were filled with sheer ruthlessness.

Over these past few days, he had investigated thoroughly and found that Feng Chuge was particularly concerned about this child.

Today, Feng Chaoyang was placing a bet right here.

Feng Chaoyang curled his lips, continuing to sneer. "Feng Chuge, you can choose to abandon this little brat..."

Feng Chuge stood her ground, her long black hair fluttering.

Under the bright flames, her cold and elegant countenance actually appeared somewhat terrifying at this moment.

She suddenly curled her lips and smiled—

"Feng Chaoyang, you brought this all upon yourself!!"

The moment the words fell, Feng Chuge's figure suddenly flashed.

Her entire body moved like a ghost, her actions exceptionally swift.

In a mere instant, she lunged forward and snatched A-Chen back from the hands of the man in black...
