Chapter 691 - 689: Little Xixi’s Mommy

After killing Kangbadu, Feng Hu suddenly burst into tears.

"Father, I’ve avenged you! Did you see?"

A great weight was lifted from his heart, a sense of relief washing over him, yet he still felt a pang of sorrow.

Jiang Chen reached out and patted Feng Hu’s shoulder.

"My condolences."

Feng Hu nodded.

However, he still couldn’t accept that his cousin, Tang Yuan, was the true mastermind.

He couldn’t understand why Tang Yuan would want to kill his father.

Having wiped out the Blood Hand Gang, Jiang Chen and the others didn’t linger. They simply plundered all of the gang’s wealth. The sheer amount of riches, however, truly astonished Jiang Chen.

He obtained hundreds of Yuan Crystals.

He sent them all into the Dragon-locking Realm. The Jiang Family members in the Dragon-locking Realm also needed a large amount of Yuan Crystals.

On the way, Jiang Chen said to Feng Hu, "Tang Yuan is your cousin. He must have had a reason for having your father killed."

"However, his target was your father, not you. They will definitely head to the City Lord’s Mansion in Xingyuan City now, so you should be safe."

"They can’t possibly know that we killed the members of the Blood Hand Gang and uncovered their conspiracy. Just pretend you know nothing. Stay at the City Lord’s Mansion for now and observe the situation."

Feng Hu nodded. He also knew that Tang Yuan would certainly go to the City Lord’s Mansion in Xingyuan City now.

He wasn’t Tang Yuan’s target, so he was safe for the time being.

Besides, he still harbored doubts about the truth of Kangbadu’s words. What if Tang Yuan wasn’t responsible? Wouldn’t that mean he had wrongly accused him?

So, he prepared to investigate thoroughly.

’Maybe Kangbadu was framing my cousin.’

Feng Hu thought to himself, still unable to accept the fact that Tang Yuan wanted his father dead.

「Back in Xingyuan City.」

When Feng Hu appeared at the City Lord’s Mansion, Tang Yuan and his men had already arrived.

At that moment, Tang Yuan was slightly stunned, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.

’Heh, to think that Feng Qi is actually dead.’

He was immensely pleased with himself.

He had learned that the City Lord was dead upon arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion.

It was just that the City Lord’s son was nowhere to be found.

So, Tang Yuan settled into the City Lord’s Mansion without a worry.

But not for long.

Suddenly, the Six-Fingered Demon came to Tang Yuan’s side and said, "Prince, Feng Qi’s son, Feng Hu, has appeared."

At that moment, Tang Yuan frowned slightly.

’He’s still alive?’

In fact, Tang Yuan had assumed Feng Hu was already dead.

Whether Feng Hu was alive or dead was of little importance, though. After all, he didn’t consider Feng Hu a threat in the slightest.

"Cousin, welcome. It’s an honor to have you here."

The moment Feng Hu appeared, he was immediately respectful toward Tang Yuan, acting as if the thought that his cousin had ordered his father’s death had never crossed his mind. He appeared very composed.

He was smart enough to know that if he questioned Tang Yuan now, he would likely be killed.

Tang Yuan nodded, sizing Feng Hu up.

He immediately put on a warm, friendly smile and said, "Ah, my dear cousin, I am deeply saddened by what has happened to the City Lord’s Mansion."

"But, the deceased has passed. Please accept my condolences."

He had hired someone to kill Feng Qi, yet he was acting as if he knew nothing, putting on a show.

Seeing this, Feng Hu felt that perhaps Tang Yuan really hadn’t been the one to kill his father.

He sighed.

"Cousin, I apologize. My father has just passed away. Please forgive me if our hospitality here at the City Lord’s Mansion is lacking."

Until he had figured out the truth, Feng Hu couldn’t let Tang Yuan see through his act.

Both of them were putting on an act.

Tang Yuan nodded.

"It’s no matter. I understand your difficulties."

"For the next few days, you should focus on arranging your father’s funeral."

After that, Tang Yuan officially took up residence in the City Lord’s Mansion.

At the same time, he also dispatched men to search all over Xingyuan City for that Angel.

「A few days passed.」

Things were relatively peaceful.

It seemed no one had found the Angel.

After Feng Hu finished the funeral, he was summoned by Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan asked, "I heard that in Xingyuan City, at a place called Chenxi Pavilion, a genius Artifact Refiner has emerged who can refine Lower-Grade Treasure Artifacts. Is this true?"

Feng Hu nodded and affirmed, "It’s true."

"If you want a Treasure Artifact, cousin, you can go to Chenxi Pavilion and buy one."

Tang Yuan laughed. "Buy one? No, I want one custom-made."

"You’re coming with me. I’m going to take a look at Chenxi Pavilion."

Afterward, Feng Hu had no choice but to accompany Tang Yuan straight to Chenxi Pavilion.

As for Jiang Chen, after he returned, Little Xixi also woke up from her coma.

"Daddy..."

Little Xixi threw herself into Jiang Chen’s arms, letting out a cheerful sound.

She seemed very happy to see Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stroked Little Xixi’s head.

"Xixi, I want to ask you something."

Little Xixi nodded eagerly, her two big, bright eyes blinking adorably.

"Daddy, go ahead and ask."

Jiang Chen had figured it out long ago. Little Xixi had a strange origin; as an Angel fallen from the Divine Realm, it was impossible for her to have found him so easily.

And she even acknowledged him as her daddy.

There had to be someone pulling the strings, which made Jiang Chen suspicious of their motives.

From the looks of it now, Little Xixi posed no threat to him at all. She was even willing to save him, which was very strange.

He looked at Little Xixi seriously and asked, "Who sent you to me?"

Little Xixi blinked.

Suddenly, she said, "Daddy, can I keep it a secret?"

"Mommy told me not to tell."

What?

Jiang Chen froze.

’Mommy?’

’What the hell? Since when did Little Xixi have a mommy?’

The situation had just become more complicated.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen’s expression grew even more serious.

"Who is your mommy?"

He was Little Xixi’s daddy now, but she had a mommy. This made him even more suspicious about who this "mommy" behind Little Xixi really was.

Little Xixi suddenly covered her small mouth.

It seemed she realized she had just let the cat out of the bag.

"Daddy, I..."

"I have a mommy. She’s the one who told me to find you."

"But Mommy told me not to tell you, and I just accidentally let it slip."

"Mommy is definitely going to be mad at me."

Jiang Chen was completely bewildered.

He could now finally confirm that Little Xixi had a mommy.

As for her mommy’s identity, Jiang Chen pressed on, "What does your mommy look like? Tell me."

Suddenly, Jiang Chen had a strange feeling.

’Ever since my rebirth, has everything been fate?’

It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

If this person wanted to harm him, Jiang Chen felt he would probably already be dead.

But they didn’t seem to have any intention of harming him, which was very strange.

’Could they be protecting me?’

’Who on earth could that person be?’

In an instant, one person came to mind: his most beloved woman, the Orchid Fairy.

Only the Orchid Fairy would go to such great lengths to protect him.

However, he hadn’t seen a single trace of the Orchid Fairy in this life.

’Is it just my imagination?’

Little Xixi pouted.

"Daddy, I can’t really describe what Mommy looks like."

"Anyway, she’s really, really pretty. Even prettier than Xixi."

Jiang Chen still couldn’t figure out who Little Xixi’s mommy was.
