Chapter 659: Chapter 197 – Insufficient Energy [Extra 15 for Silver Alliance Leader, wise Chen of the Sea] Chapter 659: Chapter 197 – Insufficient Energy [Extra 15 for Silver Alliance Leader, wise Chen of the Sea] Now, only the two of them were there. Dong Xiaoyan stayed in her room, observing the phoenix egg. With the Cat Emperor setting up a sound barrier, there was no risk of any third party overhearing them.

“So that’s the way it is! So that’s the way it is!”

All at once, the Cat Emperor understood everything she previously couldn’t grasp. So, each breakthrough was accompanied by such miraculous phenomena…

Oh my, she dared not even dream of such things.

Just thinking about it made her tremble all over. She was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment!

“No wonder Ying’er made such rapid progress. No wonder her root bone was far superior to those of her ancestors. If not for all this, how could I explain it…”

The Cat Emperor, with bulging eyes, said, “No wonder even the young snake you trained is so mystical. I suppose there’s a reason for that too…”

“Indeed. My current cultivation strength is rather low, so I have to reveal all kinds of extraordinary feats to nurture my power and protect myself.”

Feng Yin said, “Now, as my cultivation is improving day by day. When I reach the Heavenly Level, I might be able to help you enhance your root bone and make further progress.”

He had been pondering this matter in his heart for quite a while.

The Cat Emperor was a top cultivator in this world. Given her knowledge and experience, she was bound to have doubts about the unusual things happening around Feng Yin. If this continued, it might lead to disagreements. So, it was best to deal with it sooner.

Especially considering the Cat Emperor was not an outsider, Feng Yin decided to concoct a story for her that was as close to the truth as possible.

Taking advantage of this breakthrough to show extraordinary feats and letting the Cat Emperor witness it was the perfect timing.

Otherwise, if this went on for too long, and the Cat Emperor suspected that Feng Yin was practicing some evil magic using her daughter… Things could get nasty.

This wasn’t unreasonable anxiety.

As a parent, your heart is always with your child. Any abnormalities, good or bad, will make you imagine the worst.

Therefore, Feng Yin’s actions this time successfully dispelled all of the Cat Emperor’s suspicions.

At the same time, he had made a solid groundwork for his reputation as a ‘Divine Physician’ and ‘Master of Spirit Beasts.’ Everything was natural and logical.

“So, that’s how it is…”

In that moment, the Cat Emperor had many thoughts, resulting in numerous possibilities.

But in the end, she chose to remain silent.

She earnestly warned Feng Yin, “You should not talk about this to anyone else, especially not Miss Dong.”

Feng Yin quickly agreed. He thought to himself, ‘If it wasn’t because you are Feng Ying’s mother, why would I bother telling you this? Miss Dong just can’t keep a secret. I can’t possibly share this with her, what are you even thinking?’

“Actually, you shouldn’t have told me, either.”

The Cat Emperor sighed deeply, looking at Feng Yin with even more affection, “It seems I have been benefiting from my daughter… You indeed were the right choice back then. You truly are a person of great fortune!”

“It’s just some minor tricks. I can’t compare with your true talent and experience in cultivation.” Feng Yin modestly replied.

“You’re being too humble. Your abilities are more than extraordinary, beyond the wonders of heaven and earth.”

The Cat Emperor chuckled heartily, then sidestepped the topic.

“The more words, the greater the error. From now on, let’s not talk about this.”

“All right.”

The Cat Emperor took her daughter to her room to rest.

Watching her daughter’s hair falling out and growing back, she was filled with all kinds of emotions.

She couldn’t help thinking…

If her husband had not died, but was found, no matter how severely injured, as long as Feng Yin was there, recovery was just a matter of time!

With that thought, she felt even more hopeful about the future.

She found herself agreeing more and more with Zhu Weiran’s proposal.

A wonderful event like this deserved a drink, a good meal, and a huge celebration.

So that night, the smell of hot pot wafted from the Feng Family Courtyard once again.

Dong Xiaoyan ate until she was round, completely lacking the elegance of a well-bred lady.

Feng Yin found that the more he got to know this cheeky girl, the less she cared about appearances.

She spoke very casually, addressing herself as ‘old lady’ and threatening to ‘beat you to death!’

Once Feng Yin told her, “If you eat like this, you’re going to get fat and won’t be able to get married,”

Dong Xiaoyan instantly got furious, “You got guts! If I can’t beat you until you’re yellow and bruised, then I shall have not eaten hot pot today!”

The fierceness in her was simply…utterly…

Even someone as thick-skinned as Feng Yin had to back down and beg for mercy. She was really a force to be reckoned with!

But by the evening, Dong Xiaoyan couldn’t maintain her boldness.

She found an opportunity and, somewhat sheepishly, entered Feng Yin’s room, looking a bit shy.

“What are you doing?!”

Feng Yin panicked and held his chest, “I… I just took off my shirt… You… you… you don’t come any closer!”

Dong Xiaoyan, who was somewhat embarrassed, was instantly furious with this sentence!

“Who cares about your skinny physique! You think you’re something?”

“Hehe… Among the two of us, the one with a skeleton-shaped body isn’t me! I have a pretty good figure!”

“You’re talking about who?”

“Whoever gets flustered first loses!”

“I’m not flustered!”

“Ha-ha, don’t trust what you hear, only what you see. Why don’t you take off your shirt and let’s compare?” Feng Yin taunted!

“Rogue! Take this!”

And so, Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!… Feng Yin was thoroughly beaten up!

Dong Xiaoyan, straddling Feng Yin, displayed the prowess of the famous Wu Song fighting a tiger, “You dare to play rogue with me? Are you not aware of how a rogue behaves?!”

Feng Yin pleaded, “I beg you, let me see what a rogue really looks like…”

His comment elicited another wave of heavy beating.

By the time Dong Xiaoyan let him go, the pitiful Physician Feng had a swollen nose and a bruised face like a pig’s head. His handsome face was ruined. He lay like a near-death body on the bed, utterly helpless.

It was as if he had been trampled by dozens of burly men.

“Can you please leave… I need to sleep…” Feng Yin felt he couldn’t let the young lady stay in his room any longer.

By the crack of dawn, he might well get beaten into a meat patty.

“Ahem, ahem…”

Dong Xiaoyan, suddenly feeling a bit guilty, said, “Actually, I came to you today because… I need a small favor.”

“What favor?”

“I just need a small help.”

“A small help?”

Feng Yin was thoroughly shocked, “Even if it’s a small task, it’s still a task. Is this how your family asks for help?!”

“Well, how else should I ask?” Dong Xiaoyan, feeling increasingly guilty, retorted more sharply.

“You first beat someone up…to half death?”

Feng Yin was flabbergasted and sarcastically remarked: “Then you say: ‘As a gesture of goodwill, I’ll take a beating. Please help me with some matters… um, there are a few things that need your help.'”

“God! Heavens! Open your eyes and take this demon away!”

Feng Yin beat his chest and stomped his foot: “I’m the only one in the world who is sought for help this way. My ancestors must be smoking in their graves.”

Dong Xiaoyan completely lost face and, bearing her claws and teeth, was about to attack again: “Dare to make sarcastic comments?”

After a long confrontation, Dong Xiaoyan ended up sweaty and sat on a chair fanning herself. Her eyes were full of irritation and embarrassment, with embarrassment taking the larger part.

“Alright, whatever it is, just say it.”

Feng Yin took out a small mirror and began rubbing… medicine on his face.

This girl is really ruthless. She almost made a mess of my face. It felt like she hit me with hundreds of punches just on the face. Doesn’t she know that I live by my looks?

“It seems that the Ice Phoenix is about to hatch,” Dong Xiaoyan said, somewhat excited.

“Oh?”

Feng Yin corrected, “How can that be called hatching? It’s called rebirth.”

“Right, it’s about to be reborn.”

Feng Yin rolled his eyes: “Just tell me how I can help. Can you make it quick?”

“The problem is that the energy inside the Ice Phoenix seems to be insufficient.”

Dong Xiaoyan, her face full of tension, explained further.

“I’ve done everything that I can. I have placed a large number of top-quality spirit crystals around it, arranged lots of icy Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and even created the coldest icy environment. But all these can’t help the Ice Phoenix generate energy…”

Dong Xiaoyan’s words were filled with frustration. She paused for a moment and added: “I had no other options, so I came to you. I’m relying on you entirely; the capable one has to do more work!”

It must be said that anyone, even the Double Nine Color Supreme, would be helpless in this situation because she had truly done all that could be done. She had done everything that she herself or anyone else could do.

But Feng Yin might have other measures that no one else could provide.

“That’s strange. I remember that during our last time on Mount Siji, the Ice Phoenix had absorbed almost enough energy. If it were not for this, you would not have come with me to Yuezhou. Over there, the environment is the most suitable for the Ice Phoenix’s rebirth.”

Feng Yin was puzzled, “Why is it suddenly short of energy?”

“I thought it had enough energy, much more than needed.”

Dong Xiaoyan lamented, “But I neglected the fact that my judgment was based on the energy needed for the Ice Phoenix’s normal hatching, for which it was sufficient. But for rebirth, it’s still deficient!”

“The current Ice Phoenix’s foundation is much stronger than before. And the rebirth process is vastly different from the normal hatching process. Given these two aspects, it would have been a miracle if the energy was still sufficient!”

Dong Xiaoyan became anxious, “What can we do now? Should we rush back to Mount Siji?”

“Calm down first, let me have a look at your egg.”

“Yuezhou is currently plagued by heavy snowstorms. Although its temperature doesn’t match the peak of Mount Siji, the difference isn’t that big either. If building an icy environment hasn’t solved the problem, rushing back to Mount Siji won’t make much of a difference either.”

Feng Yin didn’t beat around the bush anymore, he, too, was puzzled why would it suddenly run short of energy?

What’s the difference between hatching and rebirth?

The energy was sufficient before, it doesn’t make sense for it to not be sufficient now.

Once the egg of the Ice Phoenix came out, it was seen that its glow flickered on and off.

When it glowed brightly, one could clearly see a little bird inside anxiously looking outside.

Inside the egg, it was so anxious that it kept spinning in circles or poking its little sharp beak at the eggshell, making a ‘tut-tut’ sound.
