Everything seemed so unreal as if it were all a dream.

“It’s me,” Feng Tianlan chuckled softly. “I disguised myself to avoid unnecessary troubles.”

Her present self was still far too weak, and death would undoubtedly befall her the minute Feng Xiang discovered her identity as the Alchemist. He would drive her down a road where only death awaited.

Elder Chen took some time to digest this information. When he finally came to terms with the situation, he bowed deeply and said, “No matter who you may be, right here and right now, you are my one and only Master.”

A few days ago, word had gone around that the good-for-nothing First Miss had turned the tables on the genius maiden. All along, he had thought that it was merely a baseless rumor. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that it was true. Even more shockingly, this time, people weren’t exaggerating. Feng Tianlan was, in fact, much stronger than the rumors claimed. He finally understood the reason for the Young Master’s decision. If this girl was indeed Feng Tianlan, she was certainly capable of avenging the Shang family.

Feng Tianlan put the rabbit mask back on and said, “Just continue calling me Master Shen. Also, send someone to revamp the town and rename it the Holy Pill City.”

“Yes.” Elder Chen made no qualms about her orders and heeded them immediately. From the moment she’d agreed to their plan, she’d become their Master.

“Gather everyone in the Holy Pill City within two weeks. They are not to leave. In one month, I will go there to train them in person.”

Hearing Feng Tianlan’s orders, Elder Chen lowered his head in acknowledgment. Just as she was about to leave, he asked, albeit a little hesitantly, “Why do you wear the rabbit mask, Master Shen? Should I make a silver mask for you instead?”

She had an oppressive aura that could astound the world. If she had to choose a mask, she should wear an awe-striking mask of silver, not a rabbit mask. It went against her indomitable spirit.

Feng Tianlan chuckled, “It’s because I like rabbits.”

When she was young, they used to wear rabbit masks to festivals as a family of three. She would ride on her father’s neck, and her father would take her mother’s hand as they strolled down the festivity-filled streets. They’d laughed as they’d wandered the alleys filled with beautiful lanterns, and that had been was when she was the happiest. These were her tenderest memories. Furthermore, rabbits could quickly guile other creatures into lowering their defenses. Few people realized that rabbits bite when forced into a corner. The symbol of the rabbit, therefore, was befitting.

Elder Chen watched Feng Tianlan leave and recalled her overwhelming and godly pressure. He also thought of her rabbit mask. Elder Chen could not help but laugh; after all, she was still a little girl. It was not unnatural for her to be fond of small animals. However, one should never belittle Feng Tianlan just because of the rabbit mask that she wore. Otherwise, they would die before they could realize what had hit them.

After the auction, Feng Tianlan could not care less about other things. She also stopped refining pills. Instead, she cooped herself up in the Pill Scroll Realm. Cultivating within that realm was like cultivating at twice the speed of the outside world.

“Tianlan.”

Feng Tianlan heard someone call her the second her consciousness exited the Pill Scroll Realm. It was Luo Yunzhu, who barged in looking flustered.

“Why would you come at this hour?” Feng Tianlan raised her gaze and observed the skies. They were slightly darkened, so it should be around the You hour. She should have just finished dinner.

Luo Yunzhu proudly presented the two Spiritual Crystals on her palms like she was showing off treasure. She said with smiling eyes, “Here you go. For your cultivation.”

“Don’t tell me that you sneaked them out of your house?”

Luo Yunzhu, once again, moved Feng Tianlan. A stream of warmth flowed across her heart when she saw the Spiritual Crystal shining dimly in her hands. There were only two Spiritual Crystals in the Luo family. For Yunzhu to give this to her…how could Dean Luo agree to this?

“That’s not it. ” Luo Yunzhu pouted and explained, “I went to great lengths to persuade my father. If I had stolen these two Spiritual Crystals, my father would have grounded me for at least a year!”

Feng Tianlan laughed heartily and said, “Your father sure dotes on you a lot.”

The harshest punishment Luo Yunzhu would get for stealing a Spiritual Crystal would be to get grounded! If her parents were still alive, she would probably have grown up like that too, surrounded by doting parents.
