“Don’t think I don’t know,” Ye Wushuang said sternly. “These past few weeks, you’ve been slacking off instead of practicing diligently. That’s not acceptable.”
“Don’t assume that just because I’m protecting you, you don’t need to cultivate,” he continued. Ye Feifei lowered her head, feeling a bit ashamed.
Ye Wushuang’s tone softened. “If you can reach the seventh level of the Body-Refining Realm while cultivating at Qingtian Academy, I’ll let you graduate and you won’t have to stay there any longer. How does that sound?”
“Really?” Ye Feifei’s eyes lit up.
“Of course,” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile.
“Alright then!” Ye Feifei said, brightening up. “But big brother, you have to come home often to see me and take me to Shiwei Xuan.”
“As long as you behave well, next time I’ll take you to eat steamed jasmine fish,” Ye Wushuang promised.
“It’s a deal!” Ye Feifei clapped her hands in delight.
Then Ye Wushuang added, “The path to cultivation is the most important. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. At Qingtian Academy, you’ll be with peers your age, which will be very beneficial for you.”
“However, before that, I’ll help you with something,” Ye Wushuang continued.
“What?” Ye Feifei asked curiously.
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Let’s see if I can help you awaken your bloodline power!”
The Ye family had fallen on hard times, with only Ye Qingfeng, Ye Wushuang, and Ye Feifei remaining. Ye Qingfeng and Ye Wushuang had already lost their bloodline spirits and could no longer awaken the power of the Devouring Bloodline. But Ye Feifei still could!
“Uncle and I had our bloodline spirits stripped away, so we can’t awaken the Devouring Bloodline anymore, but you can,” Ye Wushuang explained earnestly. “During the trial on Lingyun Mountain, I obtained a deer antler incense. It’s made from the antlers of a fifth-stage spiritual beast, the Bicorn Deer, and its main function is to help awaken the bloodline spirit and activate bloodline power!”
Ye Feifei hesitated and asked, “Will it hurt?”
“A bit,” Ye Wushuang replied honestly.
Ye Feifei took a deep breath and said resolutely, “Then let’s do it.”
“Alright,” Ye Wushuang agreed without delay. He took out the deer antler incense, lit it, and placed it at the four corners of the courtyard. Then he had Ye Feifei sit cross-legged on the ground.
As the incense burned, a faint, pleasant aroma filled the air.
“Big brother, it smells so good!” Ye Feifei exclaimed.
Good? Ye Wushuang thought with a smile. Just wait; it won’t be so pleasant soon.
After a while, Ye Feifei began to fidget, her face turning red with discomfort. “Big brother, I feel so itchy. It’s like there are lots of little ants crawling on me… Ah! Big brother, the ants are biting me. It hurts…”
“It’s okay. The pain will pass soon,” Ye Wushuang reassured her, stepping back.
“It hurts so much! I don’t want this incense anymore. It hurts, it hurts…” Ye Feifei cried out, trying to jump up and run away. But a small spiritual formation had been activated, trapping her in place.
“It’s okay, Feifei. The pain won’t kill you. Just endure it a little longer,” Ye Wushuang said, before leaving the courtyard.
The next morning, Ye Feifei dragged herself to the dining table. Liu Yuemei and Ye Qingfeng were both shocked to see her in such a state.
“Feifei, what happened to you?” Ye Qingfeng asked worriedly.
“Uncle…” Ye Feifei sobbed. “Big brother bullied me.”
Ye Wushuang walked in and laughed. “Don’t listen to her. I was helping her awaken her bloodline power. This girl just wanted to slack off, and that’s not going to happen.”
“I didn’t!” Ye Feifei protested. “Big brother was too harsh. That deer antler incense felt like little ants biting me…”
“Feifei, you’re in the wrong here,” Liu Yuemei said sternly. “Right now, only you have the chance to awaken the bloodline. I’ve heard from Shuang’er that you must cherish this opportunity.”
“I know…” Ye Feifei’s face fell, but at the sight of the delicious food on the table, her spirits instantly lifted.
“Tonight, we’ll continue,” Ye Wushuang said casually. Ye Feifei froze mid-bite, her mouth still full of the bun she was chewing.
Continue? She thought to herself. This is unbearable!
During the meal, Ye Qingfeng spoke up. “Shuang’er, you see, I’m just at home with nothing to do. Uncle He said I could go to the Dark Soul Hall and do something there. Can I go?”
Ye Qingfeng, though the senior member of the Ye family, was clearly not the one making decisions now. Everything was up to Ye Wushuang.
“Sure, you can go,” Ye Wushuang replied with a smile. “Uncle, it’s boring for you to just stay at home and cultivate all day. Now that our family is back in the heart of the Imperial Capital, we need to grow stronger.”
“Alright!” Ye Qingfeng chuckled happily.
Lately, Liu Yuemei had been in charge of the daily affairs of the mansion, truly taking on the role of the lady of the house. Ye Feifei, being still young, didn’t have much to do. Ye Qingfeng, on the other hand, felt a bit awkward, spending his days with nothing to do but cultivate. Now that he had something to occupy his time, it was a good thing.
After the meal, Ye Wushuang continued his cultivation while urging Ye Feifei to carefully sense the changes within her body. Meanwhile, Ye Qingfeng, led by Uncle He, set off for the Dark Soul Hall…
