Chapter 225 What do you mean, you defeated opponent?
Zizhu stepped into the kitchen and saw Zhai Muling chopping vegetables inside, so she quickly closed her umbrella.
"Oh dear, miss, what brings you to the kitchen!"
"Put it down quickly, let me do it!"
She shook the snow off her umbrella, leaned it against the door, walked to Zhai Muling's side, and was about to reach for the knife when Zhai Muling dodged her.
"No need, it'll be almost done."
She poured the chopped vegetables into the pot.
Zizhu paused, pursed her lips to hide her smile, and stood to the side.
Indeed, Miss is personally cooking for the Snow Valley Master.
She decided not to join in the fun.
"How's it going up ahead?" Zhai Muling asked.
"The Valley Master and the medicine boy are taking care of Song Yu," Zizhu said, glancing at the falling snow outside. "The snow is heavy today, so the clinic probably won't be sending anyone else."
Zhai Muling nodded, but the medicine boy suddenly ran over, looking flustered.
"What's wrong? You're so reckless."
Zhai Muling put the lid on the pot.
The young apprentice glanced into the kitchen, and after confirming that only Zhai Muling and Zizhu were there, he hurriedly said, "Miss Zhai, something terrible has happened! My Valley Master has disappeared!"
The ladle in Zhai Muling's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"What's going on?" She ignored the spoon and quickly walked to the medicine boy.
"Just now, the Valley Master suddenly said he wasn't feeling well, so I told him to go to the inner courtyard to rest. But in the short time it took him to go in and out, he disappeared!"
"Zizhu, come with me quickly to find someone!"
Zhai Muling looked anxious. She instructed the apprentice to stay and take care of Song Yu, picked up the umbrella leaning against the door, and hurriedly went out.
He had just recovered from a cold and his body was not fully healed. With such heavy snow, if he caught another cold, what if it caused him to develop some chronic illness?
Zizhu told the apprentice to close the clinic, then snatched the umbrella from his hand and chased after him, calling out, "Miss, wait for me!"
Heavy snow fell, and the capital city was submerged in a vast expanse of white.
The streets were nearly deserted, but a fiery figure strode through the snow, its footprints quickly covered by the falling snow.
Yan Feng walked slowly down the street, holding an umbrella.
This is not Medicine King Valley.
Within three days, he will be able to transform into his true form.
But at this very moment, Xue Qingchuan left Medicine King Valley and came to this damned capital city. It seems that the date will have to be postponed for a few more days.
Without the nourishment of the spiritual energy of Medicine King Valley, one cannot use spiritual power at will before one's true form is manifested.
Otherwise, we could be back in the valley in no time.
Yan Feng sighed.
Well then, I might as well go see my junior sister.
He passed by several pedestrians and happened to overhear their conversation.
"I heard that General Zhai has won another battle. This time, his sister Zhai Rongyu is traveling with him, and they will be returning to the capital soon."
Yan Feng paused in his steps.
Is my junior sister not in the capital?
"The Zhai family's achievements are only increasing with each passing year."
"That's not all! His Majesty not only personally bestowed upon Zhai Rongyu the title of Princess of Yongning County, but also issued an edict to betroth her to the Regent. I heard that the wedding will take place in the spring, which shows how much he values her."
"The Zhai family is about to rise to the top in one fell swoop!"
"When will this immense wealth and honor ever come my way!"
As the group was talking, they suddenly saw a man in red standing in front of them. He slowly raised his umbrella, revealing red hair and a flame mark on his forehead.
That look in his eyes was more terrifying than the flames on his forehead.
The group was startled.
"Let's go, let's go..." They glanced at Yan Feng, squeezed together, and quickly left.
Yan Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold, enveloped in a chill even more desolate than the winter day.
Marriage?
Was the junior sister's visit voluntary? Has she met Master?
Regent...
He slowly raised his eyes and happened to see the Regent's Palace not far away, so he strode over there.
Hua Ying, dressed in a white fur coat and wearing a bamboo hat, sat motionless on the eaves of the Regent's Palace, like an ice sculpture.
The straw hat was covered in snow, and its original color was no longer visible.
"uninvited guest……"
Hua Ying murmured softly, then suddenly opened her eyes and locked onto the approaching Yan Feng.
As she turned her head, snowflakes fluttered down from her straw hat.
Through the wind and snow, Hua Ying saw a bewitching man in red, and her eyes narrowed.
That's... the Snow Valley Master?
wrong.
The Snow Valley Master was aloof and peerless, but the man before her had an unruly and fierce expression, as intense as a blazing fire, and exuded a sinister aura.
It could never be the Snow Valley Master.
She slid a short knife from her sleeve, held her breath like a lurking wild beast, and slowly stared at the approaching man.
Yan Feng keenly sensed a murderous aura, frowned and looked at the roof. Before he could see clearly, a figure flew over.
The snow fell softly as the two engaged in a rapid and swift battle.
The lightning-fast dagger cleaved through the wind and snow, grazing Yan Feng's cheek. He turned his head to dodge, and through the dagger, he saw a pair of cold and beautiful eyes.
Yan Feng's gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand to slash at her wrist, but she nimbly dodged it.
His eyelids twitched.
It's been a long time since I've seen a woman with such agile movements.
For a moment, Hua Ying swiftly knocked the umbrella out of his hand, and Yan Feng finally became serious, abandoning his previous nonchalance and engaging in serious combat with her.
After being so still for so long, it's time to stretch my muscles and bones.
Hua Ying raised her leg and waved her hand, but after a few rounds, she gradually lost ground, and alarm bells rang in her mind.
In close combat, she has never had an opponent.
I never expected this person to be so capable.
Yan Feng sensed her alertness, a cold sneer appearing on his handsome face. Without any mercy, he swept off her cloak, revealing the black outfit underneath.
The two separated, standing opposite each other across the wind and snow, scrutinizing each other like predators eyeing their prey.
"Are you one of the Regent's men?"
Yan Feng casually lifted his eyelids.
Hua Ying didn't reply to him. She lowered her eyes to look at the white fur cloak not far away, gradually tightened her grip on the short knife in her hand, adjusted her posture, and exuded a murderous aura that kept strangers at bay.
"Anyone who trespasses on the Prince's residence shall be put to death."
Her eyes were cold, yet her indifferent pupils, like an icy lake, reflected Yan Feng's fiery red figure, creating a strange and alluring beauty.
Yan Feng smiled, his eyebrows rebelliously raised, carrying a hint of mockery.
"Is that so? Then let's see if you have the ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two lightning-fast figures clashed fiercely once again.
The wind and snow howled, stirring up waves of murderous intent.
The two exchanged blows, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.
Yan Feng lifted his leg and swept up the fallen snow on the ground. Hua Ying dodged to the side, pulled off the straw hat that was in the way, and in that instant, Yan Feng seized the opening, approached like lightning, grabbed her ponytail from behind, half-subdued her in his arms, and pinched her chin with his large hand.
Hua Ying let out a muffled groan of pain.
Yan Feng chuckled, his eyes filled with arrogance, as he pressed his tongue against the tip of his tongue, admiring the prey in his arms.
"With such slow movement, who do you think you can take your life?"
His lazy tone sounded rather irritating.
Hua Ying looked up at him, her cold eyes suddenly overflowing with a smile, like melting ice and snow.
"Naturally, it's your dog's life."
Yan Feng was taken aback when a sudden pain shot through his lower abdomen.
He looked down in disbelief at the dagger in his abdomen, half of which was already embedded in his body.
"you……"
Hua Ying mercilessly thrust the dagger deeper.
"What do you mean, 'you'? You're a defeated opponent."
