Chapter 167 - I Don’t Mind Helping You Have a Sex Change
“You gave birth to me?” Feng Tianlan laughed. “The one who gave birth to me after carrying me for ten months is my mother. What has that got to do with a man like you?”
Feng Xiang started breathing heavily from anger. That was not what he meant at all – she was deliberately pretending not to understand!
Feng Tianlan didn’t wait for Feng Xiang to explain himself, and attacked from a different angle: “Or, do you mean that Father is willing to become a woman to become the Feng Clan Head? If so, I’ll find you an Alchemist and help you have a sex change!”
“Feng Tianlan!” Feng Xiang had been trying hard to control his anger. After hearing this, he couldn’t restrain himself any longer and raised his hand to release Spiritual force. The force hit the ground hard, creating a large hole. Dust flew everywhere.
How he wished this force had landed on Feng Tianlan.
“If there weren’t any guests around, I suppose this force would have landed on me. Then, you could have seized power after killing your own daughter.” Feng Tianlan only calmly raised an eyebrow at Feng Xiang’s anger. She wasn’t bothered at all. Still, this one statement from her pushed Feng Xiang’s reputation further down the drain.
“What father behaves like Feng Xiang? She only said a few things, and he became so angry.”
“Looks like the whole story about how Feng Tianlan was raped and jumped off the cliff must have been made up by Feng Xiang to seize power.”
“He’s a desperate man who married into the family, and his daughter is truly a concubine’s child. One wants to snatch power away, while the other wants to snatch her sister’s fiancé. They’re worthless people, after all.”
“Who knows what will happen when we’re not around – maybe Feng Xiang will kill Feng Tianlan for the sake of power.”
“Feng Tianlan, so what if your last name is Feng, and so what if you’re the rightful heiress? You’re nothing but a good-for-nothing, so how dare you say that your father has no right to be the head of the family?” said Xu Jiayi coldly. After hearing what the guests were murmuring among themselves, she couldn’t hold back anymore.
Feng Tianlan’s existence was a constant reminder that she, Xu Jiayi, was a concubine, and her two daughters were of lower status as a result. With Feng Tianlan around, Yu’er would always be the woman who’d stolen her sister’s fiancé. She couldn’t bear to let Yu’er be destroyed by such a label or let her talented Pei’er bear the lowly status of a concubine’s daughter!
Feng Xiang had calmed down a little now, because he knew that being angry would work against him after hearing the guests talk about how he would kill his daughter to get power. So, he could not fight for power, at least not for now.
“Tianlan is right in saying that, as a man, I cannot be the head. But…” Feng Xiang pushed Feng Xiupei in front of him and said, “Pei’er is the greatest genius of South Winds Nation, so she is eligible for this position.”
Pei’er bore the surname Feng, had excellent potential and was already an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master at fifteen. Who would dare to say she wasn’t eligible?
“Father…” Feng Xiupei frowned a little when she heard that her father wanted her to become the Feng Clan Head but managed to keep it together.
Her ambitions had never been confined to the Feng clan—they didn’t even lie within Guiyuan Continent. She didn’t want to be the Feng Clan Head. She wanted to be the phoenix that flew out of Guiyuan Continent. This was the honor that she, Feng Xiupei, deserved.
“Tianlan, you two were born mere hours apart, but Pei’er is already an Advanced-stage Spiritual Master. For the sake of the clan’s future, surely you don’t have any objections, right?” Feng Xiang scoffed in his heart when he saw the Phoenix Emblem in mid-flight on Feng Tianlan’s forehead.
So what if Feng Tianlan bore the Phoenix Emblem that only appeared on the rightful heir to the Feng clan? She was only a good-for-nothing and wasn’t good enough to be the clan’s head.
Once everything that transpired here tonight blew over, they would find another chance to kill off Feng Tianlan then use Pei’er’s status as a disciple of Flying Frost Pavilion to marry the Xuantian Continent’s prince. After that, he would get Pei’er to hand the clan back to him, and he would become the Feng Clan Head. The grand plan hadn’t changed, it had merely been delayed.
