Chapter 173 - That’s Ridiculous!
Ning Chenxi stood there dazed… why were they leaving all of a sudden?
Mrs Ning rose to her feet, helped by Mrs Yan. She darted a glance at Feng Wu, then asked Ning Chenxi with a frown, “What’s going on?”
Ning Chenxi looked at Feng Wu and Mrs Ning in turn, the look on his face a little grim. “She said that a wave of magical beasts is coming… but it’s not the right season. How can there be a rampage of magical beasts at this time of the year?”
After that, Ning Chenxi tugged at Feng Wu. “The sun is setting and fog is rising up. The mountains will be filled with magical beasts. With the elderly and the wounded, you’ll never be able to get out of here. Please trust me on this. There is no wave of magical beasts. Can you please wait until sunrise and set out with the rest of us?”
Feng Wu looked back at Ning Chenxi earnestly. “Please trust me on this. Two Emperor-level magical beasts are fighting in Frozen Forest and one of them is a Demonic Blood Dragon. Whatever’s fighting the dragon can only be as capable. The battle between two powerful creatures will create a lot of collateral damage, and all the magical beasts in Frozen Forest will run away from the woods for their lives, which will in turn make us the collateral damage. This Sumeru Temple —”
Feng Wu looked up and shook her head. “This temple won’t even last until tomorrow morning. It’ll be wiped off the face of the earth by the end of tonight.”
Ning Chenxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Do you always expect the worst? Are you paranoid or what? We have so many capable men here —”
Seeing that he wasn’t convinced, Feng Wu lost her patience talking to him. She went up to Mrs Ning instead and looked the lady in the eye. “I think you’re a smart lady. The others won’t take me seriously, but maybe you will. If I’ve guessed right, a wave of magical beasts isn’t the only thing we’ll get tonight… What worries me most is that a battle of that level will stir up the land’s core and start an earthquake. If that happens, the impact will extend much further beyond the perimeter of Frozen Forest. Mrs Ning, with your pregnancy, it’ll be too much for your body to handle. If you can, please leave ASAP.”
After that, Feng Wu waved her hand and led her team out.
The beautiful lady looked baffled and was completely at a loss as to what was going on. However, Feng Wu had always been the one who called the shots in the family, so the beautiful lady got into the carriage without any objections.
Uncle Qiu wanted to take the driver’s seat, but Feng Wu turned him down. “We’re going to have a very bumpy ride ahead of us. I’ll take it from here. Uncle Qiu, please take the time to recover. I think we’re going to have a nasty fight ahead.”
Feng Wu’s face was calm and solemn, which proved how imminent the crisis was.
Uncle Qiu nodded. He sat down cross-legged in the carriage right away and began to regulate his energy.
Feng Wu and her people left in such a hurry it was as if they had never been there.
Everyone else was still baffled even when Feng Wu was gone… they exchanged awkward looks.
“A wave of magical beasts? Earthquake? Hahaha, that’s ridiculous!” Feng Liu smirked. “She’s lying her ass off just to get away.”
“To get away?” Yan Yan stared at Feng Liu.
Feng Liu couldn’t wait to play up to Yan Yan. She said obsequiously, “She’s offended both your people and mine in this hall. With all the weaklings and cripples on her side, do you think she can sleep tonight? That’s why she came up with this grand excuse so that she can leave without being stopped. You’ve all been fooled. How nervous you all look… hahaha —”
