The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 513, 514

513: Feng Tings Death

From then on, Feng Wus duties didnt involve any cooking, instead she was assigned food preparation. Everyone was safer this way.

As for Ai Lin, she was troubled and preoccupied thinking of ways to keep Nellie away from Zi Cheng. It was really difficult because she wasnt on good terms with Zi Cheng, but Zi Cheng was friendly with Nellie. This meant Nellie wasnt likely to pay her any mind. She touched her chin thinking about it and finally came up with some ideas. Now as to when she should implement them. . . 

She really was a good teammate to Zo; truly worthy of his trust.

The blood moon, characteristic of the Blood Moon forest, shown brightly in the red sky. It was a symbol of the blood race, and some even said it was the source of their power. Whether it was true or not was anyones guess.

What?!

Bite! Hurry and bite quickly! Tianxing stuffed a brocade handkerchief into Yanrans mouth, afraid her daughter would bite her tongue.

Yanrans forehead was covered in cold sweat and every inch of her body hurt. Even her bones hurt. The two bloodlines in her body were repelled against each other, fighting and clashing hard, neither side retreating.

The pain was so unbearable, she wanted to die. It had gotten worse with time, going from yearly, to monthly to now every few days.

The ordeal lasted an hour but Yanran survived.

Her face looked weak and clearly distressed as she fixed her clothes that had become a mess. Her mother fed her a bottle of recovery potion.

Yanrans face looked better after drinking the recovery potion from her mother.

Mom, I cant take it anymore. Yanran leaned pitifully into her mothers embrace. The pain just now was so powerful, she felt like she had nothing left in her body. Even after drinking the recovery potion, she still felt weak all over.

Dont be afraid. Mommy will figure out a solution to this. Youll be fine baby. A light flashed in Tianxings eyes, as though she had finally come to some kind of decision.

Ah! A scream pierced the night.

Nellie took several steps back out of fear and bumped into Ai Lin, who had run over because of the scream.

A chorus of questions came from the group of students.

Whats going on? What happened?

Whats happened?

Who screamed? Did something happen?

Does anyone know what happened?

A group of boys, not far away, had rushed over as well. They had just returned from battle and had been taking a break with the other soldiers.

The bloods harassed them from time to time, so everyone worked in shifts to guard the area.

One of the boys had a bad expression on his face because the scream yanked him awake just as he was about to fall asleep. He was going to be pissed if the scream was because of a bug.

Ah! Nellie screamed again. She was so frightened that she squatted down and buried her head between her knees. It didnt look like she was going to stop screaming anytime soon.

Ai Lin dragged Nellie up and slapped her hard. Stop screaming. Tell us what happened.

Though the gesture was rough, it had the intended effect. Nellie stopped screaming and came back to her senses.

With trembling fingers, Nellie pointed to some bushes nearby and said, Feng Ting is dead!

One of the boys ran over, and sure enough there was a corpse in the bushes; its body drained of all blood. Murder!

How could a blood come to our camp?!

The bloods are everywhere, even here.

How am I going to be able to sleep peacefully now?

It wont be possible now. If a blood comes to dine on you in the night, youll be dead in your sleep!

There was so much discussion that eventually even the higher ups called for an investigation. They were afraid some bloods had mixed in their group. A large-scale inspection of the entire camp was done.

Eventually, they found a blood clan member. And though they caught him in the forest, he chose to detonate himself instead of saying anything.

This meant they had no one to question. The only witness who knew anything was Nellie, who shared what she knew honestly.

She and Feng Ting had met up to do some laundry together. Halfway done, Nellie accidentally dropped her basin in the river. She had to chase after it before the current took it too far and the clothes were lost. By the time she got back, Feng Ting was gone.

Nellie complained a bit, annoyed that Feng Ting hadnt waited for her. She quickly resumed her washing and was twice as fast since she was now by herself. She was about to return with her wash basin when she passed by the bush and saw Feng Tings body. . . 

Nellie never expected it and had screamed in fright. That was when everyone showed up.

Panic ran through the camp because of Feng Tings death. Everyone was afraid a blood clan member would come out and suck their blood. Security became much stricter, and no one dared be alone, lest they become a victim.

The higher ups were having a hard time. Feng Ting, though she wasnt a favored child, was a concubine daughter of Feng house, so her death was a big deal.

The Feng house was a powerful clan with a long history and high status in the ancient eastern kingdoms, and one of their daughters had just died.

514: Lunza Appears

Tianhang was saddened to learn his daughter was dead. No matter what, he had raised her for so many years. It was like raising a pet; after so many years, of course there would be some affection. How could he not be sad?

Juntian sighed. Although he wasnt as close to Feng Ting as he was to Feng Wu, he never considered her an outsider. He was also sad at the news.

How a blood clan member got in and managed to feed on Feng Ting was a mystery.

Tianxing went to comfort her elder brother after Feng Tings death. Sometimes she would even personally cook and accompany her brother and her nephew at meal times.

The battle between the two races intensified a few days later. After one particularly big battle, something strange happened everyone from the Feng house vanished.

Ming Xi immediately sent people to look for Feng Wu upon learning about her disappearance. But it was useless; they couldnt find anything.

Other families who sent their elite children to investigate didnt do any better.

What could have happened to make someone as strong as Tianxing and Tianhang disappear without a trace? There were also Feng Wu, Juntian, and Yanran. They were all gone.

The similarity to how the four elders disappeared was eerie; the elders had also vanished inexplicably.

Feng Wu awoke to find herself on the ground with her brother and father. They were unconscious so she couldnt tell if they were injured. Feng Wu thought back to what happened.

After the battle that day, Tianxing came over and cooked for everyone. She had Yanran ask Feng Wu if Feng Wu wanted to eat together. At that time, Rui Baby had gone to Ming Xi to help him study the barrier, so she followed Yanran to her fathers tent alone.

The last thing she remembered was eating the soup Yanran made.

Tianxing and Juntian woke up just as Feng Wu was recalling the events.

What is this place? Why are we here? Tianhangs voice came out a little hoarse because he was dazed from just waking up.

Father, are you all right? Juntian was in better condition because had eaten less than his father did.

Feng Wu ate the most, but because of her constitution and the treasures living insider her, Pure Flame and Xiao Chun, she wasnt as affected and woke up the soonest. She was a little sleepy but didnt suffer any adverse reactions.

Im all right. Juntian, why are we here? Where are your little aunt and Yanran? Tianhang was worried because he did not see them amongst his children.

Juntian shook his head. I just woke up too, so I didnt see Little Aunt or Yanran.

They tried to support each other up, but found they had no inner qi in their bodies. At this point they realized theyd been drugged.

Xiao Wu, are you all right? Juntian asked his sister, who was standing in a daze in a corner, after helping his father up.

Im fine. Feng Wu shook her head to show she was fine.

The three Feng family members, after making sure they had no other injuries, became seriously concerned about where they were. The room they were in wasnt big and they were able to walk around it easily. From one of the windows they could see the small trees below. It looked like they were in tall tower.

No wonder the window wasnt secured. They werent going to be able to escape through there, not without their qi.

It would be impossible until the medicine wore off.

The blood moon was outside, so they had to still be in Blood Moon forest. But they didnt recall ever seeing such a tall tower in the forest. . . 

So where were they? Could they be. . . 

Father and son looked at each other incredulously at the thought that occurred to them.

If it was as they guessed, how did they end up here when they were just at the outskirts of Blood Moon forest?

While the two were busy puzzling it over, Feng Wu had already walked to the door and was pulling at it.

It opened with a rattle.

Tianhang and Juntian looked on in surprise. Even the door wasnt locked!

If they were where they thought they were, then there was no need for locks. No human would escape alive from the place.

The three of them left the room and picked a random direction to walk down. They didnt see a single guard. Unlocked doors were one thing, but to have no guards, well that was truly a lot of confidence!

After checking the entire floor and not finding anyone else, they moved down to the next floor. They heard cursing as soon as they went down the stairs.

Feng Tianxing! You human traitor! If you have the ability to kill me, then you go ahead! Because I swear, as long as I live, I, Lunza, I will reveal your crimes!

The man started another round of yelling directly after finishing the first one. His yelling lacked energy, but his hate showed loud and clear.

Tianxing and Lunza. Hearing those two names caught the father and son by surprise.

Lunza! The person yelling was Lunza!

But didnt he elope with someone from the Blood clan? How was he here spewing so much hate for Tianxing?

The questions swirled in both mens minds. An obvious answer came to them, but it was hard to believe.

Tianhang took his children and walked into the room Lunza was being held in.

They found an emaciated Lunza with his hands chained. It was obvious he was in a lot of pain. Scars, caused by sharp objects, crisscrossed his body, while numerous bite marks littered his skin. They would have been difficult to spot unless you were looking closely. The puncture marks were characteristic of the Blood clan.
