Chapter 90

Face-slapping the fox demon and the righteous monk (6)

Despite his promise to not regret it, he’d never expected to experience such bone piercing pain. The torture for the past twenty-four hours had been far beyond what Feng Yanyi could handle, and it went beyond the limits for his promise to hold. No matter how much he loved and appreciated Xia Qing, he had to let her payback for this.

Xia Qing, however, had only been grateful to him, thinking that he had gone through all these just for her sake. Speaking of which, what were the chances of someone else treating you well if you hadn’t treated others wholeheartedly?

Who calculated the difference?

Life was not a joke. With a joke, you could laugh at a joke and move on, but for life, you get what you pay for.

Xia Qing had deceived others to get what she wanted, so perhaps, the only thing she could get in return was also deception from others.

“Thank you, Feng Yanyi,” Xia Qing said emotionally.

With a faint smile on his face, Feng Yanyi continued to act like a gentleman. Looking at her with gentle eyes, he softly said to Xia Qing, “It’s okay, all thanks to you that I could advance my cultivation so much.”

Lowering her head again, Xia Qing covered up a flash of shyness that danced across her face. “It’s nothing much.”

A month later, Feng Yanyi finally found what he was looking for, and that was the Furnace Forge.

It was the praised treasure of the Southern Mountain Sect, which was the most famous sect among the mortal cultivators.

Feng Yanyi was once one of the disciples of the Southern Mountain Sect, but because his fate had not been good since birth and he hadn’t shown much potential, he left the sect and came to Nandian Mountain.

After he went back this time, no one dared to shun him anymore, and he headed directly to the sect master of the Southern Mountain Sect to borrow their Furnace Forge.

The sect master refused, claiming that if the treasure was taken away, it would bring disaster to the Southern Mountain Sect

Feng Yanyi simply smiled and ruthlessly destroyed hundreds of years of the old master’s cultivation with a simple attack using his bare hands.

After that, Feng Yanyi successfully got his Furnace Forge, and the Southern Mountain Sect experienced a once-in-a-century earthquake after the forge was taken away. The thousand-year-old land of treasures was gone in a night. The disciples of the Southern Mountain Sect eventually scattered to find other sects or cultivated by themselves like Feng Yanyi had.

The Furnace Forge, as the name suggested, was a tool used to make furnaces, but it was unique in that it could refine humans into human-shaped furnaces.

However, the process of refining would be incredibly painful for the person being refined. To be precise, the pain will last forty-nine days.

An entire forty-nine days of scorching pain should be enough to compensate for his pain of the past day and night, Feng Yanyi thought.

This was because he felt that the pain that he had suffered that day and night had been tens of hundreds of times more painful than any other. Yet he failed to consider the fact that the reason for his suffering had been himself, while the person who would take the blame and suffer for forty nine days would be another.

Speaking of, most people were like this, holding a set of double standards, in which their expectations of others was harsher.

The Furnace Forge was very small. In fact, it was only the size of a jade pendant. When it comes to the time of refinement, a person simply needed to put on the pendant, draw the unique talisman symbols on a special paper from the Southern Mountain Sect, and add a drop of their heartblood. Then, after reciting the spell, the Furnace Forge would begin the refinement.

Although the steps sounded simple, many details of the procedure were not known to anyone outside of the Southern Mountain Sect. But since Feng Yanyi was once a disciple of the Southern Mountain Sect, he was not worried at all.

Carrying the Furnace Forge, Feng Yanyi arrived in town. There, he had someone to make a chain for the Furnace Forge.

Feng Yanyi looked at the exquisite and beautiful thing in his hand in awe, not believing that such a beautiful thing could make people suffer for forty-nine days.

After placing the Furnace Forge into his sleeves, Feng Yanyi returned to the little cabin in the forest.

At this time, Xia Qing was already feeling much better, no longer suffering in pain. After seeing Feng Yanyi’s return, she smiled and said, “Welcome back. I made some food, let’s eat together.”

Also with a smile, Feng Yanyi replied, “Okay.”

While the two were eating, they started talking about the things in the forest. Where the birds were particularly beautiful, where the fish were particularly active, and where the rabbits were particularly careless.

A man and a woman. One was handsome and one was gentle. The scene was like a painting, and the people in the painting didn’t seem to realize it.

After finishing the simple meal, Feng Yanyi grabbed onto Xia Qing’s hand. Xia Qing was startled as he looked at Feng Yanyi in disbelief.

She always thought that Feng Yanyi never liked herself, at least not to the level of love. But at this moment, he reached over to grab onto her hand.

The warmth from his hand made Xia Qing tremble unconsciously.

Feng Yanyi slowly placed something into Xia Qing’s palm.

“It’s for you. I’m not sure what it is, but I think it’s quite exquisite. I want to give it to you.” Feng Yanyi spoke in a gentle tone just like before. A tone that was warm enough to touch Xia Qing’s heart.

Xia Qing was pleasantly surprised. The item in her hand was indeed very beautiful. It seemed like it was made of silver, but not pure silver. It was extremely hard and had a few colorful beads embedded in it, making it look even more beautiful.

“Thank you, I love it,” replied XIa Qing while blushing.

“I’ll put it on for you. It would look beautiful on you.”

“Okay.”

Feng Yanyi walked behind Xia Qing and placed the chain around her neck. The small Furnace Forge was hung right in front of the place closest to Xia Qing’s heart.

Then, he walked in front of Xia Qing again. “It’s gorgeous,” said Feng Yanyi with a gentle smile.

Xia Qing felt as if her heart was in a sea of flowers, so soft and gentle. She reached out and grabbed Feng Yanyi closer to her. She sat while Feng Yanyi stood and leaned against Feng Yanyi’s body. “Thank you,” she whispered.

Feng Yanyi lowered his head and looked at the woman leaning on him. For a second, he felt that if the two of them were to stay together, it might not be a bad idea, but then, he remembered the twenty-four hours that he couldn’t bear to think about.

As soon as his heart softened, it immediately hardened again. Because of that experience, he would never be able to forgive Xia Qing.

“You don’t have to thank me.”

It was a show without any audience, yet the actor was still performing with everything he had.

That night, Feng Yanyi casually cast a spell and made Xia Qing fall into a deep sleep. Then he bit open his middle finger and the blood slowly flowed out.

He drew the symbol very smoothly with his blood and realized that a thousand years of cultivation was indeed extraordinary.

After drawing, Feng Yanyi read the spell.

As he was chanting the spell, Xia Qing’s body started to glow faintly, red and dim. Feng Yanyi knew that this meant fire.

After the fire was lit on the Furnace Forge, the Furnace Forge will get the rest of the job done by itself. It would turn Xia Qing into a furnace. This furnace would obey Feng Yanyi and help him cultivate. She would become an item for Feng Yanyi to use instead of a person.

After Xia Qing became a furnace, maybe she would still have human consciousness, but her heart would stop beating and she would not be breathing. She would be an object in the shape of a human.

Xia Qing probably never expected that she would experience death for the second time in her life, and this death was brought to her by someone she liked.

Feng Yanyi silently urged it to go faster as the furnace also began to glow. As the light became more and more concentrated, it meant that the furnace had already begun its automatic refining process.

As long as the furnace started the automatic refining process, Xia Qing would have to endure forty-nine days of suffering.

With an invisibility talisman, Feng Yanyi turned himself invisible. He wanted to see with his own eyes how Xia Qing would suffer. Would she be like himself, who would rather die than be tortured like this? Oh, I forgot, Xia Qing would be as good as dead anyway.

The burning pain suddenly woke Xia Qing up. She thought there was actually fire as she struggled to open her eyes. However, there was nothing in front of her. She was still lying in bed, yet she felt as if her body was wrapped in fire, making her unable to breathe, unable to think.

She wanted to scream, yet not a sound came out of her mouth. Her throat was as dry as if she hadn’t drunk water for years. She wanted to reach out and help herself to stand up, but she couldn’t move.

Xia Qing would never expect that this was all because of Feng Yanyi. She trusted him so much that she thought what was going on was due to something she did wrong. Maybe it was because she gave her cultivation to Feng Yanyi, or maybe it was because of the Tenfold Gu. Whatever it was, she didn’t even doubt that Feng Yanyi could be behind this.

Maybe many women who were deeply in love were all like this. Unable to think properly and unable to decide.

Under the extreme pain, Xia Qing slowly closed her eyes. Feng Yanyi watched the way she suffered yet still was not satisfied. Because her suffering didn’t seem to be as bad as what he had experienced himself. After all, unlike him, Xia Qing was able to bear the pain.

Feng Yanyi removed his invisibility talisman and walked in front of Xia Qing. “Xia Qing, I’m going to avenge you. I hope I can come back soon. Please rest well,” he said with his gentle tone.

After that, he turned and left. Xia Qing opened her eyes with all her strength but only saw Feng Yanyi’s disappearing back.

Tears slowly came out of her eyes. Xia Qing realized that all she wanted right now was a big hug.

But in fact, if Xia Qing was able to choose again, she would probably still choose the same path again, because just like Feng Yanyi, she must avenge. As for love, that was not as important.

Whether it was a human or a demon, there was always something that others could not understand.

For both Xia Qing and Feng Yanyi, none took their love seriously.

After leaving the little cabin, Feng Yanyi went to find Jiang Feng and Zhou Xu, but he did not go find them to avenge Xia Qing.

Xia Qing’s hatred was her own thing. Feng Yanyi did not have any hatred at first, but now he does. It was the twenty-four hours that he had experienced.

He hated Xia Qing. He knew that after Xia Qing gets refined into a furnace, she wouldn’t need to eat, drink, or sleep, but she would still be conscious.

Therefore, if he wanted to make Xia Qing suffer more, the best way would be to make her hated enemies live happily. To make her suffer even more, then the best way would be for himself to befriend her enemies.

From the blushing of shyness when she lowered her head and the fierceness burning in her eyes, Feng Yanyi knew that Xia Qing liked himself.

Feng Yanyi wanted to take advantage of this and make her suffer forever, making her suffer so much to the point that she would rather die. Just like those twenty-four hours he had experienced.
