Feng Tianlan hurriedly helped Chuling into a sitting position and nestled her in her arms. Chuling shut her eyes tightly as she leaned lifelessly against Feng Tianlan. Feng Tianlan was afraid to shake her fragile body, and panic rose in her heart. “Chuling, wake up!” she called out in a shaky voice.

“Wicked daughter! To think that you would try to kill your mother. Today, I will deliver justice on behalf of the heavens and rid the world of your wickedness!” Feng Xiang exclaimed.

He stood up and walked over to Feng Tianlan. He raised his hand and swiftly brought his palm down toward her head. Feng Tianlan shot him an icy glare and snapped sharply, “I’d like to see you try!”

Feng Tianlan’s piercingly fierce gaze subdued Feng Xiang, and he stopped. His large palm hovered less than an inch from her; a few centimeters more, and her head would have been blown open.

“Sir, she tried to kill me. Don’t forget that she’s the one who disfigured Yu’er!” Xu Jiayi exclaimed. Seeing Feng Xiang halt, a flash of disappointment shot past Xu Jiayi’s eyes. Nevertheless, she continued to fan the flames.

Feng Tianlan held Chuling in her arms and sneered coldly at Feng Xiang, whose palm was still slightly twitching. “If you no longer need the Feng Clan,” she hissed, “then kill me.”

Feng Xiang looked at that face oh-so-similar to his late wife’s, although Feng Tianlan’s domineering aura was scarier, not to mention her words. All these things were holding him back from destroying her. The Feng Clan! Without Feng Tianlan, the sole direct descendant of the Feng bloodline, Feng Xiang would lose his current status as nobility, even if he still carried the Feng name. Furthermore, he would be stripped of the name Feng. Whatever he was his would be gone with the wind! The Feng Clan was vital to the South Winds Nation in unique ways unbeknownst to others.

Feng Tianlan suppressed the agonizing pain in her chest as she arduously hoisted Chuling into a bridal carry. She glared coldly with her phoenix-like eyes and said, “Remember this. You, Tu Xiang, have nothing to do with the Feng name and clan. I will snatch everything you stole from my mother, one by one, a thousand-fold!!”

“You…” Feng Xiang was stunned for a moment before exploding, “Atrocious! Is that how you talk to your father?”

His wicked daughter had called him directly by his real name, not Feng Xiang, but Tu Xiang. The Tu name was the thorn in his heart!
