“What a shame, what a shame. Such good fate, and there’s also a purple aura on her; how is it possible she wasn’t born in the yin month of a yin year?” The black-robed Warlock shook his head regretfully.
It was the first time Feng Yanli had ever seen the black-robed Warlock repeatedly lament that it was a shame, and she was instantly overjoyed. Although the black-robed Warlock didn’t elaborate on the benefits and merely said that Chi Shuyan was indeed one in a million with a rich and blessed fate, Feng Yanli was still excited.
“Master, in case there’s a long night ahead, let’s open the altar and handle matters tonight.” Feng Yanli waited for the black-robed Warlock to calm down before she carefully made the suggestion.
Hearing Feng Yanli’s words, the black-robed Warlock looked at her with cloudy eyes, which gave her goosebumps.
Although Feng Yanli was scared, it was obviously nothing compared with her family’s future glory and wealth, as well as her altered appearance. She swallowed her saliva and swore solemnly, “Master, if you succeed in this, you will be the great benefactor of our Feng family.”
“That’s right, our Feng family is counting on you. From now on, we are your left and right arms. If you want us to go east, we won’t dare to go west, hehe.” Father Feng received Feng Yanli’s signal and also fawned on the man.
“It’s good that you know my benevolence.” The black-robed Warlock’s voice was as coarse and unpleasant as polished sand. “Then, you must remember what you said today.”
Father Feng and Feng Yanli nodded repeatedly.
On the altar, the black-robed Warlock twisted the three strands of hair together and threw them into a transparent bottle. Instantly, the hair dissolved in the transparent bottle like black mist. He then splashed the bottle over the peach wood sword that he was holding, which had the birth characters written on them. The characters drawn in black ink instantly turned bright red, and wisps of vitality flowed like a stream.
His hand moved unhurriedly as he closed his eyes and muttered under his breath, and was about to implement the final step. After throwing a slip of paper with the birth characters on it into the cauldron, it would be complete, and even the heavens wouldn’t be able to lift the spell in the future.
Suddenly, a strong wave of flames charged in his direction. The black-robed Warlock suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously dodged. Those white flames turned and shot directly at the slip of paper that was about to fall into the cauldron, and the cauldron exploded with a bang.
Everything happened in the time it took to spark a flint. Not to mention Father Feng and Feng Yanli, even the black-robed Warlock was a beat too slow since he had to avoid the attack. He didn’t even have a chance to save his cauldron, and could only watch helplessly as his treasured cauldron exploded into pieces. His cloudy eyes opened so wide they were about to split. His treasured cauldron!
The black-robed Warlock glared fiercely at the newcomer. The person stood in the pitch-dark doorway and their face couldn’t be clearly seen. They didn’t seem tall, and could even be said to only be slightly bigger than small, and looked like a woman.
Even though he had yet to fight this person, those white flames were enough to make him fearful.
The color represented the temperature of the flames. Red could burn a person’s body, orange could burn a person’s bones, gold could burn a person to ashes in an instant, and white could melt even steel in an instant.
As far as he knew, there were truly few people in the world who could use this fire move, and this person seemed quite skilled. He couldn’t figure it out no matter how he thought about it, so before he probed deeper, he was somewhat cautious. He suppressed his anger and questioned, “Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by destroying my treasured cauldron? We’re minding our own business.”
“That’s right, Master, we shouldn’t have done anything to offend you,” Father Feng and Feng Yanli said anxiously in unison.
“Minding your own business? Not offend me? You people are really interesting, to spout such blatant nonsense!” Chi Shuyan sneered and walked inside.
