The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 221 – Life and Death in One Move

Chapter 221 Life and Death in One Move

When Hua Mengshi heard the phrase “Spirit Summoning Art,” her facial expression changed greatly. In the library of the Murong Family, she had read many insiders’ books. One such book, Notes on Lost Arts, had mentioned that the Spirit Summoning Art was a lost art of the continent.

Although there were three elders, they would not teach the Spirit Summoning Art to outsiders. It could be considered a lost secret art.

This art could make a person lose control of his mind and emotions, completely manipulated by the spell-caster.

By the time Hua Mengshi recalled all these information and tried to dodge, it was already too late!

A powerful, primitive aura gushed over, blotting out the sky and covering the earth. Her body was rendered ice-cold, unable to move!

She stared stupidly at Hua Qiyue before her eyes, hearing no one’s voice except for Hua Qiyue’s. She could not hear even the slightest sound from the outside world.

Hua Qiyue stared coldly at Hua Mengshi. With one move, she could completely defeat her.

Although the two maidservants behind Hua Mengshi had not been hit, they were stunned immobile by that aggressive aura.

The three of them could not move. Hua Qiyue slowly opened her lips, diffusing endless terror in Hua Mengshi’s heart!

They were at the same level. Yet she, Hua Mengshi, was still a whole lot inferior to Hua Qiyue!

She could not take this lying down!

Despite so, in the next second Hua Qiyue had already cruelly opened her mouth!

“Kneel!”

Hua Qiyue bellowed coldly. Hua Mengshi felt her knees bend, and she slumped involuntarily down onto her knees!

That was right. Her whole body seemed rooted to the spot.

Her body seemed no longer controllable. Hua Mengshi could foresee her own defeat. Full of terror in her heart, she could only stare stupidly at Hua Qiyue before her.

“Hua Mengshi! As the second daughter of the Hua family, you keep trying to assassinate and kill me. Give up your avaricious, lupine ambitions! I won’t kill you, because I never fear getting killed by you!” With these words, Hua Qiyue waved her arm vigorously, sending a wild gale surging toward Hua Mengshi!

Her two maidservants finally recovered. With a loud cry, they hurled themselves at Hua Mengshi, grabbing her firmly.

And Hua Mengshi was blown away in the terrible gale, her limbs flailing. There was a savory taste in her mouth. Both Hua Mengshi and her two maidservants were flung to several kilometers away, crashing at the foot of the mountain, looking awkward and sorry.

“Don’t provoke me again, or I won’t let you have it easy. Since you’re still alive, I can give Hua’s Mansion an answer!” Hua Qiyue said coldly. If it weren’t for their father’s sake, she would have shattered Hua Mengshi’s meridians.

In Tianyuan Continent, no one with shattered meridians could practice Qi Art. Any erstwhile fame would soon disappear.

“Get lost! Hua Mengshi, I didn’t maimed your meridians because I don’t want you to tread my former path! If you’re still so senseless, I won’t mind letting you feel how I once felt, getting bullied!” Hua Qiyue glanced at Hua Mengshi struggling to get up, and coldly turned. She strode toward the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave.

Hua Mengshi glared hatefully at Hua Qiyue’s departing figure. She had suffered some internal injuries, but they were not serious.

Her two maidservants were too frightened to even make a noise. Hua Mengshi suddenly turned back her hand and slapped, killing one of them!

The other maidservant stared in horror and shock with widened eyes. Were they not Hua Mengshi’s personal maidservants, her most trusted aides? Why did Hua Mengshi kill her companion?

Before this young maidservant could understand this, Hua Mengshi had unleashed another palm, expending all her energy! The young maidservant died immediately without a murmur.

After all, these two maidservants had witnessed her being “insulted” and realized her true identity. Naturally, they could not live.

Hua Mengshi raced swiftly to outside the city.

Hua Qiyue managed to resolve the arrays set up by Hua Mengshi’s private guards in a few seconds. They were so stunned that they could not recover their wits for several minutes. After that, none of them dared look up Hua Qiyue, and disappeared like fleeing birds and beasts.

Back in the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave, Hua Qiyue resumed her busy cultivation.

Now and then, Xuanji would impart her some secret arts. And the hare too would teach her some of his treasured lethal skills.

Hua Qiyue practiced desperately, while Ji Feng spent most of his attention on planting herbs. From time to time, he, too, would cultivate.

Most of the work in the kitchen was done by Ji Feng.

In the words of Ji Jing, Ji Feng must be the world’s most perfect man. He was not only a Qi Artist, but also a culinary chef and a handsome guy.

Place him outside, and he would be a good man highly demanded by countless girls.

It was a pity that Hua Qiyue would not react to anything Ji Jing would say. It meant that she was totally devoted to cultivation and not to love.

After forcing her to accept his kiss the last time, Huangfu Xuan no longer dared to appear before Hua Qiyue. Neither did he dare to disturb her cultivation.

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

Their days in the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave were as tranquil and pleasant as before.

Although some Qi Artists had fearlessly come to provoke them, they were sent flying away by Xuanji’s palm.

Hua Qiyue’s Qi Art had risen to the medium level of Round Sun. In the words of the hare, she had promoted to a whole level. Her improvement was already terrifyingly abnormal.

————————

In one of the caves, Yun Shimo was carrying a bowl of fragrant, thick broth and walking over to Princess Qianyang’s side.

Princess Qianyang was doing embroidery. She used to disdain such needlework, but since marrying Yun Shimo, she had developed a keen interest in this art.

Princess Qianyang wanted to sew a belt for Yun Shimo. After all, they had been married for almost a year and had not consummated their marriage!

As a woman, it was not easy for her to tell him what she wanted. She could only find things to do to express her intentions.

“Qianyang, you must be tired. Drink this soup first!” Yun Shimo said quietly, placing the bowl of slightly warm soup by one side.

Princess Qianyang gave a tender smile, putting down the needlework in her hand. “Was this soup brewed by Mom again? Hmmm, smells great!”

“Yes. She wants you to have some tonics so that… we can have children.”

Yun Shimo’s words made Princess Qianyang start. Then, a crimson hue suffused her face.

She loved hearing such words.

But since Yun Shimo could not master his lethal skill, they could not sleep in the same room.

Princess Qianyang could only silently wait. Her mother-in-law was brewing fragrant tonics for her each day. Did it mean they were soon about to consummate their marriage?

When she thought of this, Princess Qianyang lifted up her soup bowl joyfully. “My lord, thank Mom for me. I will definitely finish it!”

Yun Shimo nodded lightly, a strange light flitting across his eyes. But Princess Qianyang did not notice it.

After gulping down the bowl of soup, Princess Qianyang happily licked her lips and put down the bowl. She wrapped her arms gently around Yun Shimo’s sturdy waist.

“My lord, I am sleepy. Shall we sleep together?”

“Yes!” Yun Shimo did not waste his words and immediately agreed. The two of them went to bed with their clothes on.

Princess Qianyang had wanted to seduce Yun Shimo. But she was overcome by an intense drowsiness and was soon fast asleep.

She slept very soundly, a satisfying smile on her face. Yun Shimo untangled her arms around his waist and went down the bed noiselessly.

Unfortunately, Princess Qianyang was too soundly asleep. She did not hear him get down the bed at all.

Yun Shimo went out the cave, a silvery moon and clear sky greeted him on the outside.

He crossed the opposite woods and came to the cave opposite in front. He saw Tianci playing with his Man-Hunting Insect listlessly.

The insect was given to him by Ji Feng. He had claimed that if the insect sniffed an item of a person, it could locate that person within a radius of 250 kilometers.

The insect’s entire body was pale green. Its round, black eyes were blinking.

Tianci’s voice still sounded slightly childish. He threw the Man-Hunting Insect down and cried, “Quick, locate her for me!”

Yun Shimo heard him and instantly strode over. He waved his sleeve vigorously and hit the Man-Hunting Insect down.

The Man-Hunting Insect crawled wretchedly back to Tianci’s side.

Tianci saw it was Yun Shimo and started to pout aggrievedly. “Dad, why are you stopping my Man-Hunting Insect again?”

Yun Shimo glanced at his belt, which was embroidered by Hua Qiyue. The patterns on the belt were ordinary, but Tianci still wore it around his waist like a treasure.

Everything that Hua Qiyue had given him, he cherished like treasures. Even the handkerchief, not exactly well sewn, was carefully preserved by him.

After all, although Hua Qiyue was born in an ordinary family, she was not proficient in needlework. Since young, she had been tending their teahouse with her father. Later, when she married Zhou Zhicheng, the couple was somewhat wealthy and their business started to prosper.

“Who are you looking for? Tianci, haven’t I told you? This Mom you have is your real Mom.”

Yun Shimo frowned. He realized that even after feeding him a pill which could make him forget the past, the boy had not quite forgotten Hua Qiyue.

Otherwise, he would not have tried three or four times to locate her with his Man-Hunting Insect.

“Humph, Dad, you think I’m a three-year-old kid? A simpleton? That ugly woman’s my Mom? She doesn’t sew at all! Look how beautiful my belt is. It must have been sewn by my real Mom, eh?” Tianci patted his belt smugly and grinned.

But a tinge of worry clouded his eyes.

Yun Shimo’s heart felt a slight twinge of pain. He grabbed Tianci’s small, tender hand. “Tianci, why do you think that?”

“I don’t know. Instinct, I suppose! I’ve had dreams. I dreamed that a woman once called me Tianci. She must be my Mom. She really dotes on me!” Tianci thought for a while and answered with a laugh.

He felt that the belt around his waist had been given to him by his mother. Each time Princess Qianyang tried to make him throw it away, he was most unwilling to.

He began to feel increasingly that Princess Qianyang was a hypocrite. Tianci could capture that momentary resentment flashing across her eyes…

“Tianci, you’re thinking too much. Maybe your Mom was too busy when you were young, so you don’t feel close to her… ” Yun Shimo pondered for a while and came up with this excuse to pacify Tianci.

Tianci stamped his little foot. “No way, no way! I don’t want her as my Mom, I don’t! Boohoo… ”

Little Tianci was so upset that he cried. The moment he thought about Princess Qianyang’s sinister eyes, he felt most unhappy and wanted to crush this ugly truth!

“Tianci… ” Seeing Tianci’s upset sobs, Yun Shimo did not know how to pacify him momentarily.

“Enough, enough. Don’t upset the boy!” Madame Yun walked into the cave, pulling Tianci to her quickly. “Look, you’re making Tianci cry again. Tianci, let’s go into the cave. Grandma has made you your favorite roast chicken.”

Tianci heard her and immediately stopped crying. He went with Madame Yun into the cave to enjoy their supper together.

For a child, as long as there were food and fun, it was still fairly easy to forget his worries.

When Tianci had slept, Madame Yun called out to Yun Shimo. “Mo-er, wait a moment. Mother has something to speak to you.”
