Chapter 668: Chapter 669: The Number One Scheming Bitch in the World! (1 more)

"That ’Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture,’ truly is not ordinary!"

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, murmuring to herself, "Han Yang, oh Han Yang, what kind of secrets have you hidden within the Medical Scripture?"

A mere commoner, but able to heal the Human Emperor, a sovereign, this in itself is a miracle. If one could penetrate the mysteries within, the status of the Yan Family would naturally be as stable as Mount Tai, even, ascend to the next level!

"Why should the Grand Empress Dowager be so polite to that boy? Just capture him and torment him until he talks."

Beside the Empress Dowager, the palace maid named Shuying removed a human skin mask from her face, revealing that beneath the mask was a young and beautiful woman in full bloom, who bore three to four points of resemblance to the Empress Dowager.

This Shuying was in fact not a palace maid, but another junior of the Yan Family, named Yaan Shuying. By seniority, the Empress Dowager should be considered Yaan Shuying’s aunt.

Yaan Shuying had always been close to the Empress Dowager and hence addressed her directly as Grand Empress Dowager.

However, this ’grandmother’ was more beautiful and charming than her granddaughter.

This time, upon hearing that the Empress Dowager was going to meet Ling Feng, who had defeated the Tianyang Empire Envoy Team, Yaan Shuying had disguised herself and dressed as a palace maid to see whether Ling Feng really was as capable as being "three-headed and six-armed."

"Shuying, remember. Dealing with men like him by force is always the worst strategy," the Empress Dowager said, squinting her eyes.

"Hmph, after all, he’s just a green kid who eagerly opened his heart to you, milking him for the secrets of the ’Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture’ should be a piece of cake."

"No, you’re wrong."

The Empress Dowager shook her head. "This youngster, although young, has a very strong sense of vigilance! We must not underestimate him, he is the Heir of the Medical Saint, after all!"

"Hmph, as impressive as you make him sound, he’s still just a teenager. I don’t believe he can be that formidable."

Yaan Shuying seemed to bear a grudge against Ling Feng for not showing her respect upon his arrival.

"You are still just a green girl yourself."

"Well, no matter how capable he is, he’s definitely not as good as Jinghong," Yaan Shuying pouted, "Forget it, let’s not talk about this disappointing fellow."

The Empress Dowager shook her head with a smile, her profound eyes flickering with a sharp gleam.

For more than twenty long years, she had been unable to unravel the mysteries of the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique.

Now, with the Holy Inheritor emerging, perhaps, it was an opportunity!

...

Before long, Ling Feng had left the Imperial City. Along the way, Ling Feng remained silent, his mind awash with thoughts.

The Empress Dowager, she probably did not mean well.

Considering how his grandfather had refined the Youthful Appearance Pill for her, and how Yan Cangtian also became indulgent for decades because of her, this woman was certainly extraordinary.

But why had she summoned him? Was it just to talk about his grandfather’s past?

No, that was obviously not likely. She must have already obtained some valuable information from him.

After pondering for a while, Ling Feng’s eyelids suddenly twitched.

"It’s the ’Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture’!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath. Despite being cautious at all times, he had still exposed the important message that the ’Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture’ was a solitary copy.

While for others, the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Scripture was just a Medical Scripture, its value was not so simple to him.

It was because of his momentary lapse that the Empress Dowager might have mistakenly believed it contained some earth-shattering secret.

"It seems that not only Yaan Jinghong, but the entire Yan Family’s gaze is fixed on me now."

Ling Feng huffed softly. If it weren’t for Yan Cangtian and the Cangqiong Sect acting as his backing, perhaps the people of the Yan Family would have already lost their patience and made a move against him.

"She really is the Empress Dowager! To call you the world’s number one scheming woman might not be an exaggeration."

Ling Feng pursed his lips, his heart filled with silent emotion.

However, Ling Feng didn’t dare to say these words in front of Yan Cangtian, as after all, this person was someone Yan Cangtian had once deeply loved.

No wonder Yan Cangtian was unwilling to appear before the Yaan Family, for the Empress Dowager was indeed one of their own.

"Today’s events do not need to be mentioned to Elder Yan. It also spares him the destruction of his perfect lover in his mind." Ling Feng shook his head with a light sigh, feeling somewhat thankful to that despicable woman Su Lin.

Had it not been for Su Lin and her father revealing to him the malicious nature of the human heart, he might have naively believed the Empress Dowager to be a supremely good elder, and would have been sold by her without ever knowing.

The scheming bitch was terrifying indeed!

...

When Ling Feng returned to the Sky Pavilion with Tuoba Yan, the sun had already completely set. After a short rest, he went straight into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.

(PS: Of course, he had to bring Tuoba Yan along.)

Ling Feng went directly into the Fire Origin Realm and met up with the Despicable Donkey.

"Hehe, lad, hand over half of your Grandpa Divine Donkey’s reward now!"

The Despicable Donkey grinned mischievously, clearly having coveted the Xuanhuang Flame’s Fire Seed for quite some time.

"Promised to give you half, so you won’t miss out."

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, took out the Xuanhuang Flame’s Fire Seed, and split it in two, floating one half in front of the Despicable Donkey.

"Awu!"

The Despicable Donkey, without a second word, swallowed the flame into its stomach. Being the body of the Demon Emperor, it directly bore the Xuanhuang Flame’s Fire Seed without showing any abnormal reaction and found refining it no difficult task.

Ling Feng on the other hand, needed to carefully wrap it in Earth Vein True Fire before daring to grasp this tiny flame.

"Hey, Despicable Donkey. You overheard the affairs of the Empress Dowager’s palace too, didn’t you?" Ling Feng asked casually.

"Hmph, what do you mean ’overheard’? Can’t a donkey just casually listen in when it’s bored?" The Despicable Donkey chuckled, clearly enjoying such gossipy contents.

"With your experience over a thousand years, what do you think of that Empress Dowager?"

"She’s problematic, hugely problematic!" the Despicable Donkey said with a serious face.

"Oh? What kind of problem?"

"Your grandpa’s taste is really bad. Such an ugly woman, and yet he wasted a Youthful Appearance Pill on her! If it were given to this Divine Beast, could I not maintain my handsome and perfect visage, alas, what a waste of heavenly resources!"

Ling Feng twitched at the corner of his mouth, realizing he should not have naively expected this Despicable Donkey to provide any constructive comments.

And his taste, perhaps, was at the same standard as a donkey’s!

"I’m asking you, do you think she was lying?" Ling Feng said irritably.

"Eight parts true, two parts false, I guess. But there’s something strange about the Strength within her body, even a Divine Beast couldn’t see through her cultivation." The Despicable Donkey said offhandedly.

"What?" Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched, even the Despicable Donkey couldn’t see through the Empress Dowager?

Could her strength be greater than the Despicable Donkey’s?

"Not the very strong kind, but rather peculiar, seemingly related to the seven emotions and six desires of humans." The Despicable Donkey’s long ears twitched a few times, "But this Divine Beast didn’t pay much attention to it, alright, alright, don’t disturb me refining the Xuanhuang Flame anymore!"

"..."

Ling Feng’s forehead darkened, and he quickly put the matter of the Empress Dowager out of his mind.

The Despicable Donkey was right, refining the Xuanhuang Flame was the most urgent matter at hand!
