Chapter 646: Yao's Chaos 16

change of clothes. She was exhausted last night, so she won't be returning to the palace today."TiredWindling could clearly feel Xiaoli's questioning gaze. She glared at Dugu Cheng irritably, watching..."Xiaoli, do you think I'm really too easygoing"

Xiaoli heard the princess say this, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Princess, what do you mean by that"

Feng Lingxi sneered, holding the cup in her hand. The coldness in her beautiful eyes pierced people's hearts. The killing intent in her eyes frightened Xiao Li so much that she knelt before her, pleadingly saying, "Your Highness, please calm down. This is the Yao clan. Your Highness should think carefully about everything and remember not to be impulsive. Think about what the King has told you."

Feng Ling was enraged, pounding the table with her fist. Her eyes narrowed in suppressed fury, and Xiao Li grasped her hand, tears welling up in her own eyes.

"Your Highness, this servant begs you, don't be rash. This servant knows you are wronged here, but..."

"I know."

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiaoli's eyes brimming with tears out of fear, trying her best to quell the anger surging within her. How could she not know what Xiaoli was saying But she just couldn't help herself.

To say that she was treated as a saint is a lie; they never truly respected her from beginning to end.

He lied to her face, saying their mother was a rebel who jumped off a cliff herself, and that she was only able to stay here because of her ambiguous relationship with Luo Li. Did they really think she was deaf and clueless about everything

Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, her body trembling with anger. It took her a long time to calm down the fury within her.

"Go find out where the Yao people keep their medicinal herbs."

Xiao Li raised her head, her eyes filled with worry, "Your Highness, you..."

Go ahead, I'm fine.

Xiao Li got up and went outside the Holy Maiden's Hall. She saw Luoli walking over and hurried forward to greet her, "Clan Chief."

Luo Li glanced at the hall, then looked at Xiaoli's uncontained tears in her eyes. "Your wife is angry"

"The princess is in a bad mood, please forgive me, Chief."

"I'll go take a look."

Xiao Li walked two steps, hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Chief, this slave has something bold to ask the Chief."

Luo Li bowed her head in deference, then mustered her courage to ask, "Chieftain, do you know that these past two days the villagers have been saying that the relationship between the princess and you is ambiguous They hope that the chieftain and the princess will maintain distance, so as not to tarnish the princess's reputation."

"Does she care"

Luo Li asked, Xiao Li bit her lip and nodded.

"Alright, go busy yourself."

Luo Li walked in, seeing Feng Ling Xi writing a letter. She knocked on the door and walked over.

Feng Lingxi didn't even raise her head, she heard every word of the conversation between Xiaoli and him. Although she was angry, she wasn't about to have a falling out with Luo Li, after all, they couldn't afford to fight right now.

"I'm here to ask you, do you want to stay here for the New Year or go back to Dugu City to celebrate Your ascension ceremony, I've arranged it after the New Year. I'll give you some time to think it over carefully. This position of the Holy Master, do you want it or not"

"What does the chief mean I don't understand. What should I do, and what shouldn't I do"

Feng Lingxi poured a cup of tea for Luoli, taking a sip herself. Her eyes were cold now, the anger from before gone.

"To deal with this mess of the Yao clan, and keep the Yao clan peaceful, do as I say. If not, then don't continue to investigate your mother's affairs, get out of the Yao clan."

"Does withdrawing the Yao clan mean they forgive me and won't pursue me anymore"

Luo Li looked at her, his eyes still the same.

What do you think

Feng Lingxi sneered, her eyes growing colder as she looked at Luo Li. "Since they won't let me go, why should I let them go Just because I have a new identity, do you really think I would abandon my mother and let these people off so easily"

Her words left Luoli silent for a long moment. She finally spoke, "Since you desire the identity of the Yao Clan's Saint Master, I shall help you. Within the Yao Clan, you can do as you please, as long as you have sufficient evidence. If you wish to dispose of them, you may."

Feng Lingxi suddenly smiled, but this smile made Luo Li very unhappy. Seeing Feng Lingxi stand up, her hands behind her back, she looked straight at him, "Since the clan leader said so, then for the next period of time, please turn a blind eye and don't break your promise."

"What do you need"

“I need you to talk to me.”

Feng Lingxi's eyes made Luoli completely unable to see what she was thinking.

This was the most unfamiliar side of her he had ever seen since they met.

"So, you mean you're not going back to Dugu City for New Year"

Of course, I'll go back. On the 27th of the lunar year, I will leave the Yao clan. On the third day of the new year, I'll return. Six days is enough time.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luo Li, "If the chieftain wants to come to Xixian County to celebrate the New Year together, I would be most welcome."

Luo Li shook her head, "It doesn't matter, I'm the same wherever I am."

Feng Lingxi said a thank you, “There’s one more thing I need the Chieftain to help me with, a small favor.”

"You said."

Feng Ling Xi's beautiful eyes twinkled as she glanced at the fourteen or fifteen guards standing outside the door. "Since they are your shadow guards sent to protect my safety, then I would like to ask for a few more. I wonder if the Chieftain will agree"

"Who do you want"

"The ten elders of the Yao tribe are all highly respected figures among the Yao people. Each elder probably has a large family, wouldn't you say"

Feng Lingxi's words caused Luo Li's brow to furrow slightly, "What do you mean by that"

"If I'm not mistaken, they all have quite a few wives at home, right"

"Of course."

Feng Lingxi smiled, looked at Luoli, her eyes firm.

"Well then, I shall request ten unmarried women from the chieftain's household. They must be unmarried and chosen from among those most beloved by the ten elders."

"What do you want them to do"

Luo Li was confused, not understanding the purpose behind Feng Ling's actions.

"Clan leader, rest assured. I only want them to help me with one thing. Since I am the Saintess of the Yao Clan and will soon become the Saint Master, shouldn't the people of the Yao Clan show respect to me Asking them to do a few things for me wouldn't be too much, would it"

"That's true, but if the elders ask, I have to give them an explanation, don't I"

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's smile and always felt that her purpose was impure. However, since he had agreed to her, he couldn't go back on his word.

"Why explain I want their people, naturally to cultivate them. Could they possibly think that as the Saintess, I would want to kill them"

Although he said that, Feng Lingxi's gaze made Luo Li feel a little uneasy.

"Really won't kill them"

"Wrongs have heads and debts have owners, if Feng Ling Xi truly wanted revenge, she wouldn't stoop to this."

"I'll help you," Luo Li nodded.

Feng Lingxi said thanks, and seeing the worry in Luo Li's eyes, the coldness gradually disappeared.

"The Ten Elders might be a bit difficult, but, believing the Chieftain's words, they will surely listen."

Even though she was at this point, he couldn't refuse her request.

The Yaozu's Holy Lord wanted an elder, taking one elder from each side, and it wasn't excessive. Moreover, throughout history, every Holy Lord had made such a request. Feng Lingxi must have already known about this through other channels.

"Lately, my body hasn't been feeling well. Am I free to enter and leave the Yao clan's medicine store"

Feng Lingxi's words shook Luoli. She looked at Feng Lingxi with a look of apprehension in her eyes.

"Are you trying to poison someone"able. She knew her own place."The Empress agrees.""Thank you, Empress Dowager."Feng Lingxi bid farewell and thanked the emperor, then exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the palace.Today's eve...
