Number One Under Heaven - Chapter 51: Midnight Visit
“Hurry up and call him in here!” Ancestor Feng orders the guard.
“Yes Ancestor, please excuse me.” The guard leaves in large strides.
Ancestor Feng looks at Feng Yan and said, “You know what to do right?”
“Yes, Ancestor.” She smiles with a lovely expression.
“….” Feng Huan silently looks at his daughter and sighs in his heart.
After a few more minutes of waiting, they can finally see Tian Yi and his group walking back in.
“Young Master Tian, what happened? You are done with setting up the banquet already?” Ancestor Feng asks him with a worried face, afraid that something might have gone wrong and he came back to complain, saying that he’s done…
“Yes, the banquet has already been organized. You can go check for yourselves if you want.” Tian Yi said.
“Oh no, how can we not take your words for it? We will listen to Young Master Tian even if you say that my daughter is not fit for someone as grand as you! Come, let me stamp your papers.” Feng Huan mentions his daughter like it was a casual talk. Although he did not want to, the person herself had already said that she wanted to do it…
“…” Yan Yan’s eyes twitched after hearing his words. This Mortal is definitely implying something here!
“…” Xuan Wanshan stares at Feng Huan with narrowed eyes.
“This Feng Huan is definitely trying to introduce his daughter to my disciple…” Although she did not feel jealous, it still bothers her.
“Here you go.” Tian Yi hands him the mission papers with a calm face, like he did not even hear the mention of Feng Yan.
“…” Feng Huan felt embarrassed after seeing no changes from him, it felt like he was just talking to the air…
He grabs the mission paper from Tian Yi and takes out a stamp shaped into a Phoenix out of his pocket, and he stamps it, imprinting a red Phoenix with it’s wings spread on the mission paper.
“Here you go Young Master Tian.” He hands the mission papers back to Tian Yi.
Tian Yi takes the mission paper back and nods once he sees the Phoenix stamp on it.
“Young Master Tian, what will you be doing after this?” Feng Yan steps forward, asking him.
He looks at her and asks with a puzzled face, “You are…?”
“Ah, how disrespectful of me. I am called Feng Yan, the only daughter of the Feng Clan; it is an honor for me to meet with Young Master Tian.” She bows gently while lifting up the Phoenix Dress she was wearing with both of her hands, showing a graceful etiquette.
“Un. Since you already know me, then there is no need to be introducing myself.” He nods with a slight smile, without any other changes to his emotion.
The three Feng including Xuan Wanshan was surprised to see that Tian Yi did not even bat an eye to her graceful actions.
Such a city destroying beauty was bowing to him and all he does is nod with a slight smile???
Even the Surprised Feng Yan started to doubt her beauty. This is the first time that someone from the opposite gender other than her family to not show any type of lust towards her.
“Fuck, don’t tell me that he is gay?” Ancestor Feng and Feng Huan cursed in their heart. If he really does not like females, then they can only curse at their own bad luck for not having a son.
“Wait, he is always around a beautiful female like Xuan Wanshan, so he might already be used to beautiful females…” They thought of a better possibility. If someone is always near something, then they will eventually get used to it.
“I hope that it’s the second possibility and not the first…” They wished in their hearts.
Suppressing her amazement, she continues speaking, “Now that Young Master Tian knows about me, what will you be doing since you finished your mission? Don’t tell me that you’ll be going back already?”
“No, I just got here today, why would I leave so early? I want to explore this Phoenix’s Continent for a while before leaving.” Tian Yi said.
“Then if Young Master Tian does not mind me getting into your business, my Feng Clan’s mansion have plenty of empty rooms for honor guests such as Young Master Tian.” She said with a lovely smile, suggesting him to stay here for the time being.
“Young Master Tian, my daughter is right, you should stay behind for the time being. Although my small house cannot be considered high quality, I will make sure that Young Master will have a satisfied feeling before leaving the front gate.” Feng Huan said. He even called his mansion a ‘small house’ lacking in quality despite it being the highest quality in the entire Phoenix’s Continent.
“Young Master Tian, I also ask of you to stay. Tomorrow is when the banquet will begin, so that is also something to look forward to. Since you helped out with the setup, you should definitely be there to enjoy it. Please do not reject my Feng Clan’s hospitality.” Ancestor Feng also tries to make him stay at his Feng Clan.
“If that’s how you feel, then I do not mind staying here for a bit. Master, what about you?” Tian Yi asks Xuan Wanshan. He does not care about where he stays.
“I do not mind either. It is better than renting a hotel outside.” She did not refuse. Not only will they save money, it is even the Feng Clan’s main house.
Ancestor Feng shows a bright smile after hearing that they will stay at their house! Now Feng Yan will have more chances of seducing him.
“Thank you Young Master Tian for staying at our humble house, please follow me, I will lead you to your rooms.” Feng Yan smiles, and starts to walk towards the exit.
“Un.” After nodding, Tian Yi and his group follows her outside.
“…” Feng Huan watches his treasured daughter lead them away like some kind of servant.
“Where has my esteemed Feng Clan gone to?” He wonders to himself.
They have always been above all and below none. They are the strongest Clan in the Phoenix’s Continent and also the 2nd strongest Continent amongst all the other big Continents. But since this afternoon, they have done nothing but lower themselves to some mysterious young man, and to such a low degree at that… Is this how the other Clans felt when his Feng Clan visited them? It sure does not feel good…
“Do not think about it. The weak respects the strong and the strong eats the weak, this is how our world works. No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger than you.” Ancestor Feng can see through his thoughts just by looking at his face.
* * * * *
“Young Master Tian, if you do not mind, can you tell me more about yourself? Just minor things like where you are from.” Feng Yan starts a conversation with Tian Yi while leading them to their rooms.
“…” Yan Yan silently watches her, thinking, “This slut is trying to court my Master? How laughable, just like a bird, she has no idea how far the sun she is chasing actually is!”
“There’s nothing interesting about me. I am from the Profound Dragon Spirit Sect, and I am only here for the experience. Forget about me, how about you tell me about yourself?” Tian Yi asks about her, which surprised Xuan Wanshan.
“He seems interested in her?!” She could not believe it. Just now he did not even flinch when she bowed to him, yet he’s asking about her now?
“Young Master Tian is teasing me. If you’re not interesting, then I might as well consider myself bland and colorless.” Feng Yan giggles, sounding like pleasant bells ringing.
“But if Young Master Tian does not want to talk about himself, then I’ll stop asking.” She said in a sad tone, feeling disappointed.
“However, since Young Master Tian seems interested in a bland girl such as myself, I’ll try to make myself look a bit more colorful.” She starts talking about herself as they continue to walk, such as what she liked to eat, what her hobbies were, and even what kind of weathers she liked.
“….” Xuan Wanshan silently watches as Feng Yan talk about herself non-stop, and Tian Yi nodding with a smile after every sentence.
This continued until they’ve finally reached their destination, “Young Master Tian’s Master, this will be your room,” Feng Yan shows Xuan Wanshan her room.
This room was large enough to have more than four people living in it, with the inside decorated in real gold and colorful crystals. Just by selling a single inch in this room was already enough to feed a normal family for a lifetime.
“….” Xuan Wanshan stares at this exaggerated room with wide eyes. Even if she sold her Family’s entire house, it will not be able to buy half of this room!
“Oh, I almost forgot that my Family is also in the Phoenix’s Continent. I should bring my disciple there before we return back to the Jin Long Continent.” She just remembered that her family was also in the Phoenix’s Continent. The last time she has seen her family was seven years ago. Because they’ve not been in contact, she wonders how they’ve been doing lately.
“Thank you, Meng Xiang can stay with me,” Xuan Wanshan thanked Feng Yan.
“Meng Xiang, go with Master, I’ll see you tomorrow in the morning,” Tian Yi said to her.
“Un. See you tomorrow Big Brother,” Meng Xiang nods and went inside the room with wide eyes.
“Such a rich looking room!” She thinks to herself, like how much money would she get if she sells this room?
“Tian Yi, remember to not cause any trouble, this is the Feng Clan’s main house after all,” Xuan Wanshan warns her disciple, worried that he might do something crazy and cause a scene…
“Hehe. Master, you do not have to worry. How can I possibly go around causing trouble for Master? Good night!” Tian Yi giggles.
“….” She narrows her eyes when he giggled. After being with him for sometime now, she can tell that this giggle of his definitely means bad luck!
“Then I will take your words for it, good night. Ah, thank you and your Feng Clan for the hospitality again.” Ignoring her suspicions, she thanked Feng Yan and walked into the room, closing the door.
“Now let me guide Young Master Tian to his room,” Feng Yan smiles, and continues to walk towards the end of the hall.
After another minute, they’ve finally reached the end of the hall and stopped.
“Here’s Young Master Tian’s room, please enjoy your stay. If Young Master Tian needs anything from my Feng Clan, just call for the servant who will be walking around the halls later.” Feng Yan said.
“Un. Thank you for wasting your time to lead us here, and I want to thank your Feng Clan again, for all that they’ve done,” Tian Yi smiles, but it looked somewhat different than his previous smiles.
Feng Yan did not notice anything and smiles back, “Please do not mind it, I wanted to guide Young Master Tian by myself. If you also need something for me, you can call me anytime you want,” She hinted him with the word ‘anytime.’
“Okay, then I will thank you for it now, and again when I bother you at that time, good night,” saying that, he walks into his room.
After Tian Yi closes the door, Feng Yan also left.
* * * * *
Inside the room even more exaggerated than Xuan Wanshan’s, Tian Yi lays on the Emperor sized bed and closes his eyes.
Yan Yan who has been quiet this whole time jumps off his shoulder and onto his chest, then increasing her size to be the same as a grown dog, she lays on his chest. She is finally alone with her Master.
“Master,” She calls him.
“What is it?” With his eyes still closed, he answered.
“Why did you chose her as your Master? Her soul is only decently clean and there is nothing special about her, at least I cannot see anything special about her.” She asks him.
“I also do not really know why, but when I first saw her, something about her attracted my attention. Then I went to find out why, and to my surprise, she was very similar to me, from the way we view about Cultivation and what we liked. It is not easy to find someone like me, so I decided to choose her at that time.” He said honestly.
“That’s the only reason why you picked her as your Master? Forgive me for saying this, but she is not worthy enough to be called your Master. You are the successor to the Celestial Emperor, and she is a Mortal from this Mortal World. If you really wanted to find someone similar to you, there are many other ways. Why go all the way to find a Master, which will definitely cause a huge scene once your Family finds out?” Yan Yan tells him about her true feelings.
“….” Tian Yi turns silent for a while.
“Yes, there are many other ways, but like you just said, she’s a Mortal. For a Mortal to be able to attract me, is this fate or just my mistake? I would like to think that it was fate that we met. I like to experience new things, and I also like to search for answers about the things that I do not understand…. Even if I have to anger my family.” He said.
“Then what if it was really a mistake? What if you were not meant to choose her as your Master? What if meeting her was also a mistake?” Yan Yan was only thinking for her Master’s own good. She did not want him to get into trouble because of one Mortal.
“If it was my mistake, then… I will change that mistake into fate. So what if we were not meant to meet? So what if it was my mistake? The fact that we met will never change, nor can I change this mistake.”
“You can always erase her memories…” Yan Yan suggested.
“Yan Yan, do you really think that I am someone without dignity and will run away from his mistakes? If it was really my mistake to accept her as my Master, then I will face this mistake of mine until I no longer see it as a mistake but fate for being fortunate enough to make this mistake.” Fortune is also part off fate!
“Master is so selfish…” She puffed her cheeks.
“Hahaha, you’ve only noticed now? Then what about when I accepted you as my Spirit Beast? Why else did you think that I accepted you even with your Soul like that? Oh, mentioning about your Soul—”
“Ahhh! Master, do not mention about my Soul! I know that it is not that clean, so do not touch where it hurts…”
“It’s just not that clean? You sure love to underrate—”
“Ahhhhh! I am sorry for asking why you would chose her as your Master, do not mention about my Soul anymore!” Yan Yan cries.
“Hahaha. Yan Yan, all I can tell you is that I chose her for the same reason why I chose you because you both had managed to catch my attention. Be it my mistake or even my bad judgment; I will continue to believe that this is fate.” He laughs.
“Not to mention that she has already seen my true appearance and I like the way her face looks when she is shocked, hahaha,” Although he does not say anything, he really likes the way she looks when she is shocked. If Xuan Wanshan were here to hear this, she would definitely cry from embarrassment.
“I need to find more ways to shock her so I can see that expression of hers more,” he thought.
“What?! She has already seen your real appearance?” Yan Yan was bewildered! From the way Xuan Wanshan has been acting so far, she could not tell at all! If she was a Mortal, she could not be certain that she will be able to look at his face without her legs going soft. Even if he changes his appearance, it will not change the way she looks at him!
“She has some pretty good self control… Or is it her pride that’s stopping her?” She thinks to herself.
“Yan Yan, now let me tell you about my experiences in the Mortal’s Realm before summoning you…” Tian Yi starts to narrate his experience in the Mortal’s Realm so far.
* * * * *
In the middle of the night where everybody is usually sound asleep, a shadow can be seen walking in the dark halls.
The shadow stops once it reaches the end of the hall, and standing in front of Tian Yi’s room, the shadow opens the door without knocking.
*Creeee*
“…..”
Already aware of this intruder, Tian Yi sits up from his bed, and with a calm face, he watches the shadow walk in slowly.
Even after being seen, the shadow continues to walk towards him as if it does not have the intentions to run away.
“Young Master Tian… Do you like it?” A sweet voice asks in a seducing tone.
*Poof*
A flame suddenly lights up, slowing illuminating a lantern from the inside and then the figure who was holding onto that lantern.
“….” He silently stares at the beautiful girl in front of him, Feng Yan, who was wearing nothing but red lipsticks, revealing her large breasts and Phoenix’s Nest.
Still with a tranquil face, he said, “Quite a flashy intrusion you are doing here…”
