Chapter 2208 - 2205: Demanding Immortal Crystals!

Chapter 2208: Chapter 2205: Demanding Immortal Crystals!

"From what you said, shouldn’t your Second Uncle and Third Uncle be targeting your father?"

Chu Feng listened to Ning Yuxuan as she spoke.

"My father died in an accident many years ago, and I was his only daughter."

"So my grandfather raised me as the Ning Family’s heir."

"Precisely because of that, my Second Uncle and Third Uncle have always seen me as a thorn in their side."

"Now that Grandfather is critically ill, they took the chance to send me away from Jiuchen World, secretly dispatched people to ambush and kill me, and once I’m dead, the Ning Family will be theirs!"

Ning Yuxuan explained one point after another. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"You big families are really full of schemes and intrigue; living like that is way too dangerous!"

"My family is simple—just my dad, a few concubines, and me. No one’s fighting me over anything!"

Jiu Yunyun pouted and muttered after hearing Ning Yuxuan’s story.

"Right, things were rushed just now, I never even asked for your names!"

Ning Yuxuan looked at Chu Feng and Jiu Yunyun as she spoke.

"I’m Jiu Yunyun, and he’s Chu Feng!"

Jiu Yunyun said directly.

"Are you two husband and wife?"

Ning Yuxuan blurted out.

"Yes!"

"No!"

Jiu Yunyun and Chu Feng answered straight away.

Ning Yuxuan was instantly left with a stunned expression.

"I’ve already decided he’s my man, but he hasn’t agreed yet!"

Jiu Yunyun said outright.

"So that’s how it is!"

Ning Yuxuan nodded.

"But from how Miss Yun’er moved just now, you two shouldn’t be ordinary people at all!"

"Where are you planning to go this time?"

Ning Yuxuan asked.

"I’m accompanying him to Sky Dragon Realm to participate in the Sky Dragon Tournament!"

Jiu Yunyun said bluntly.

"He wants to participate in the Sky Dragon Tournament too?"

At this moment, Ning Yuxuan’s maid Cai’er swept a glance at Chu Feng, with a clear hint of disdain.

"His strength is way above mine!"

Jiu Yunyun snorted.

"Say one more useless word and I’ll seal that mouth of yours!"

Chu Feng shot a cold look at that Cai’er.

Seeing Chu Feng’s soul-chilling gaze, Cai’er’s heart trembled, an inexplicable fear rising within her!

After that she fell silent.

Jiuchen World!

Sky Dragon Domain ranks among the top five worlds.

Within Sky Dragon Domain, aside from Sky Dragon Realm itself, the strongest powers are Jiuchen World and Xuanhai World where Heavenly Sect resides, plus two other major worlds.

These four worlds are extremely famous in Sky Dragon Domain; the experts they hold are on a level the other worlds can’t even compare to.

Chu Feng and the others’ Immortal Boat flew for one dual-hours before arriving at Jiuchen World.

"Didn’t expect this Immortal Boat to be so fast. This must be a High-level Immortal Boat, right?"

Somewhere in Jiuchen World,

Chu Feng’s group stepped out from the Immortal Boat, and Ning Yuxuan stared at the vessel, speaking unconsciously.

"Immortal Boats have grades too?"

Chu Feng asked.

"Yes, Immortal Boats are divided into Low-level, Intermediate, and High-level. The higher the grade, the faster the Immortal Boat flies, and the stronger its defensive power against attacks!"

Ning Yuxuan said in a deep voice.

"Miss, we’ve returned so quickly this time."

"I’m afraid the people Second Young Master and Third Young Master sent, along with their Immortal Boat, haven’t made it back to Jiuchen World yet."

"Perfect timing for us to catch them off guard!"

Cai’er looked at Ning Yuxuan and said.

"Alright, you’ve already reached Jiuchen World, so we should be going too!"

Chu Feng spoke at once.

"Young Master Chu doesn’t want Immortal Crystals?"

Ning Yuxuan asked.

"Right, Immortal Crystals. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot!"

"I went to the trouble of escorting you home; you said you’d give me Immortal Crystals, so hand them over now!"

Chu Feng looked at Ning Yuxuan and spoke in a low voice.

"Young Master Chu, I don’t have many Immortal Crystals on me!"

Ning Yuxuan said.

"You playing me?"

Chu Feng’s face went cold as he barked.

"Yuxuan wouldn’t dare!"

"Although I don’t have Immortal Crystals on me, the Ning Family does!"

"Please come with me to the family, I’ll personally see to it that enough Immortal Crystals are given to Young Master Chu!"

Ning Yuxuan said solemnly.

"Then let’s go!"

Chu Feng said coldly.

After that, the group headed toward the Ning Family.

Very soon they arrived at a gigantic city like a steel behemoth.

Inside the city, the crowds surged, bustling and lively.

"What a huge city!"

"This city must be several times larger than Flying Sword City!"

Jiu Yunyun exclaimed as she looked at the city.

"This city is called Ning City; it’s the Ning Family’s main stronghold."

Ning Yuxuan said.

"Using such a massive city as your stronghold?"

"Your Ning Family really is impressive!"

Chu Feng chuckled softly.

"The Ning Mansion is just ahead. Please, everyone, come with me!"

Ning Yuxuan spoke.

"Greetings, Eldest Miss!"

"Paying respects to the Eldest Miss!"

The people on the street, upon seeing Ning Yuxuan, all called out respectfully one after another.

"Sister Yuxuan, you’re quite respected around here!"

Jiu Yunyun said with a laugh.

"Of course. Our lady possesses extraordinary talent in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, commerce, and martial arts—she’s proficient in everything. On top of that, she’s very close with the common folk of Ning City, so naturally they respect our lady deeply!"

Beside them, the maid Cai’er said proudly.

"Enough about that, let’s hurry home. I don’t even know how Grandfather is doing now."

Ning Yuxuan spoke with her brows tightly furrowed.

Deep within Ning City stood a vast mansion.

This was where the Ning Family, one of the three great families of Jiuchen World, was located.

At the moment, the atmosphere throughout the Ning Family was unbearably heavy and oppressive; all the servants and guards didn’t even dare breathe loudly.

Because the old Ning Family Patriarch was currently in critical condition, and could pass away at any moment!

Outside the old Ning Family Patriarch’s room,

the Ning Family’s Direct Lineage, side branches, and the heads of all the Ning Family’s major businesses were gathered there.

But none of them stepped into the room.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to enter, but that the old Ning Family Patriarch wouldn’t allow it.

Just then, a man in black hurried over, walked to the side of the old Patriarch’s second son—also known as Second Young Master Ning—and whispered a few words.

Second Young Master Ning’s expression changed on the spot, and he suddenly said, "What? How could this happen?"

For a moment, everyone present turned their gaze toward Second Young Master Ning.

"Second Brother, what’s going on?"

Third Young Master Ning, standing nearby, couldn’t help asking.

"Ning Yuxuan has come back!"

Second Young Master Ning said in a low voice.

"What? How... how did she come back?"

"Second Brother, didn’t you send so many people after her?"

"How could they still have let her return?"

Third Young Master Ning’s eyes flickered.

"I don’t know either. There’s been no word from the group I sent out, and yet that girl actually made it back!"

"This is trouble!"

Second Young Master Ning said, his expression ugly.

"The old man is holding on with his last breath just to wait for that girl to come back, so he can announce that she’ll inherit the position of Ning Family Patriarch!"

"If that happens, then you and I, Second Brother, will get nothing at all!"

Third Young Master Ning said gravely.

"What do you suggest?"

Second Young Master Ning asked.

Third Young Master Ning then leaned close and whispered in his second brother’s ear for a while.

"This..."

Second Young Master Ning’s face changed instantly.

PS: There will be another Chapter during the day. Lately I haven’t been able to update all at once, sorry about that.
