“Feng Clan Seal. Token of marriage.”

Feng Tianlan looked at the half-heart ring on her left index finger then at the shiny blood-red seal. Her head was full of questions. She couldn’t figure out what the two items had to do with each other. She just couldn’t understand—the token of marriage between her and Si Rong was the Feng Clan Seal, but then, Si Mobai had forcibly put the half-heart ring on her and claimed that this was the token of marriage. She also thought that the emperor’s attitude toward her was very strange; he seemed to be protecting her. He even seemed to treat her better than his own son, Si Rong, but she couldn’t figure out why.

Feng Tianlan could only sense that there were many things she still didn’t know. It was like a thick cloud of fog, where one layer cleared to reveal yet another layer, and she couldn’t see what was behind it all. Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore. She decided to concentrate on getting better, then training. Feng Xiuyu was injured and stuck in bed, so she should have several days of peace.

The next few days were indeed peaceful. Feng Xiuyu was injured and couldn’t leave her bed. Si Rong stayed by her side every day and spent vast amounts of money to buy Nurturing Pills for her injured cinnabar field and meridian channels. He hoped to find a Restoration Pill to restore her cinnabar field so that she could regain her power and talent.

Meanwhile, Feng Xiang was busy trying to matchmake Feng Tianlan with General Wang. He hoped they’d settle down quickly, and he was no longer as agitated as before.

Feng Tianlan kept busy by bringing Chuling to the Luo Residence. She taught Chuling and Luo Yunzhu how to become Spiritual Practitioners using their elements, rather than ordinary Spiritual Masters. At the Luo Residence, Feng Tianlan looked at them sitting cross-legged and said, slowly, “Now, I want you to think of something you like, or someone, and what color it is…as long as you have a deep impression in your mind, you can find the element that is most suitable for your training…”

Luo Yunzhu and Chuling listened to Feng Tianlan’s sweet and clear voice and did as she said.

Luo Yunzhu thought of the time when she was bullied as a child, and Feng Tianlan had appeared in front of her. Her beautiful phoenix-shaped eyes were as beautiful as the stars in the sky, and they appeared vividly in her memory. She remembered how blue they were, how beautifully blue, and she became immersed in that blue. Very soon, she could feel that she was amid Spiritual Forces. Many little blue drops started flying toward her, making her feel cool and relaxed.

As for Chuling, she also thought of Feng Tianlan. But in her memories, Feng Tianlan was always injured and covered with blood, so all she saw was red. After that, many red drops also flew into her body. The heat from the drops made her feel uncomfortable. Every drop emanated power.

“Tianlan.” After an hour, Luo Yunzhu opened her eyes excitedly and released her palm to reveal a crystal-clear drop of water. Then, she said with flushed cheeks, “I’m the Water Element.”

To her, Tianlan was as gentle as water.

Feng Tianlan nodded gently. “Water Element—that’s very suitable for the Galaxy Whip.”

She had thought that since Luo Yunzhu liked the color red so much, her element would be the Fire Element. She had not expected her element to be Water. So, this was a girl who was strong on the outside but gentle on the inside.

“I never thought that you could train in this way,” Luo Yunzhu said as she suddenly burst into laughter. “I’m going to train myself then shock everybody silly!”

Yunzhu could be considered a genius now, at least, in the eyes of an ordinary Spiritual Master. Feng Tianlan smiled, but she frowned when she saw Chuling’s face drenched with sweat.

She called to her, “Chuling! Chuling! Wake up!”

Chuling wasn’t waking up, so Feng Tianlan pushed a force out of her palm and broke the path of Spiritual Force that was flying continuously into Chuling. Pfffft! Chuling felt a dull ache in her chest then vomited a mouthful of blood.

Her eyes were full of tears as she responded, “Miss…”
