Chapter Sixteen: Nurturing Bai Yue into a Grand Leading Lady!
Bai Yue’s delicate face fell. She opened her eyes, pouted, and said, “Even combined, it’s less than two hundred points. Compared to Father, it’s so little.”
Feng Yun smiled faintly and patted Bai Yue’s head. “Child, your talent is the highest I have ever seen in my life. Even your father’s talent can’t compare to yours.”
Indeed, Bai Yue’s innate spiritual power was extraordinarily high. Those with over ninety points of innate spiritual power were called the Divine Favored.
She possessed ninety-nine points of innate Light spiritual power, making her the Holy Maiden of Light, the Divine Favored of the Goddess of Light.
She also had ninety-nine points of innate Dark spiritual power, making her the Holy Maiden of Darkness, the Divine Favored of the God of Darkness.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yue’s black, gem-like eyes immediately brightened with excitement. “So, will I become stronger than Father in the future?”
“Yes,” Feng Yun answered gently.
Then, Feng Yun half-crouched down and said, “Yue’er, relax now. Auntie has something for you.”
She raised her hand and pointed to Bai Yue’s forehead.
A drop of black-golden blood appeared on Feng Yun’s fingertip.
This was divine blood.
Feng Yun’s divine blood.
In the next moment, the drop of blood merged into Bai Yue’s brow.
Curious, Bai Yue touched her forehead.
At that moment, she felt something strange within her body, as if something more profound had changed.
Yet, nothing was visible on the surface.
Suddenly, with a cracking sound, Bai Yue felt the bottleneck inside her body shatter!
Her innate spiritual power had reached one hundred points!
Feng Yun’s expression remained calm; it was only a drop of divine blood and would not harm her body.
She patted Bai Yue’s head. “Good, your innate spiritual power is now one hundred points.”
“But the changes my divine blood brings you aren’t limited to spiritual power. As you gradually merge with it, you will understand.”
“Thank you, Auntie!” Bai Yue threw herself into Feng Yun’s embrace.
One hundred points of innate spiritual power!
Feng Xiu nodded slightly, maintaining his dignified demeanor. “My daughter’s talent should be this high.”
Bai Lingxuan also praised her, “Yue’er, you are truly remarkable.”
“Hehehe,” Bai Yue chuckled proudly.
Seeing Bai Yue so delighted, Feng Yun immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm. “Yue’er, as the eldest princess of the Demon Clan, from now on, you must train hard.”
“Starting tomorrow, I will personally guide your cultivation.”
“Okay! Auntie is my favorite!” Bai Yue was ecstatic.
“Auntie likes you the most too,” Feng Yun said softly.
She had already planned out Bai Yue’s curriculum.
Four hours of theory in the morning, four hours of practical training in the afternoon, cultivation at night, and even replacing sleep with cultivation.
Weekly quizzes, monthly exams, yearly tests.
As for rest?
Apart from her own birthday, there was none!
Thinking this, Feng Yun revealed a kind and loving smile. “Yue’er, your constitution is very special, so your path of cultivation depends largely on yourself.”
“I hope you can become a true genius!”
“Auntie, I will!” Bai Yue replied solemnly.
Later, when she experienced Feng Yun’s gentle yet rigorous teaching, Bai Yue became less cheerful.
The next day.
The great trial ground of the Demon Emperor’s Palace.
This was the exclusive training ground of the Defiant Demon Dragon Clan.
Feng Yun patted Bai Yue’s shoulder and earnestly asked, “Yue’er, have you remembered all the cultivation techniques I taught you?”
In truth, as the eldest princess of the Demon Clan, Bai Yue hadn’t been idle during her first six years. After learning to read, she began her studies and physical training.
But after awakening, Bai Yue’s path would become harder and more demanding.
“Yue’er, you’re a sensible child. Your identity means that from the moment you awaken, you must cultivate with far more effort than your peers.”
“If you train one more hour each day, in ten years, that’s over three thousand extra hours — more than one hundred and fifty full days of cultivation!”
Listening to this, Bai Yue’s blood boiled with enthusiasm.
“I will work hard!”
Having been brainwashed in this way, when she thought of her relatively leisurely first six years, she inexplicably felt guilty.
Learning is the ladder of human progress!
You must push yourself!
Feng Yun nodded with satisfaction. Next came the ideological education.
She intended to mold Bai Yue into a grand heroine!
Clearing her throat, Feng Yun asked, “Yue’er, tell me, what would you do if you encountered a villain?”
“Beat the hell out of them!” Bai Yue clenched her fist and raised it.
Her words were crisp and fierce, filled with murderous intent.
Feng Yun: ???
She was a little stunned. Had she really corrupted such a cute little girl?
What Feng Yun didn’t know was that Bai Yue was a well-behaved girl only in front of her, but not with others.
She was practically a little demon within the Defiant Demon Dragon Clan.
Though Bai Yue’s personality had skewed a bit more violent, she was still destined to be a great heroine.
Feng Yun, blinded by her affection for the child, ignored the strange feelings in her heart.
She continued, “Good. Now, what if someone was courting death?”
“My answer is still, beat the hell out of them!” Bai Yue responded with the same murderous spirit.
Feng Yun: ...
She was certain now that her adorable little girl had been totally corrupted!!!
Who taught her?
Feng Xiu!!!
Within the Demon Emperor’s bedchamber.
“Achoo—”
Feng Xiu’s nose itched, and he couldn’t help but sneeze.
No, that couldn’t be. As a powerful ninth-rank warrior, how could he catch a cold?
Could it be that someone was thinking of him?
But soon, Feng Xiu shook his head and looked down at the wife cradled in his arms.
“Lingxuan, how about we have a few more brothers and sisters for Yue’er?”
It was still daytime!
Bai Lingxuan’s cheeks flushed as she immediately protested, “No…”
Before she could finish, Feng Xiu placed a kiss on her reddened lips.
…Ten thousand words omitted here; please imagine them yourself…
Meanwhile, back at the Demon Emperor’s Palace trial ground.
After much deliberation, Feng Yun sighed and patted Bai Yue’s shoulder. “Your answers are… acceptable.”
“Now, I will teach you a few more phrases. You must remember them.”
“No love in your heart, sword drawn is divine!”
“First page of the sword manual: forget the beloved!”
“Second page of the sword manual: …”
…
“Ninth page of the sword manual: slash through the mortal world!”
“Tenth page of the sword manual: reclaim my free soul!”
From today on, you must recite these phrases every day.”
Bai Yue was a bit confused but repeated after her, “No love in your heart, sword drawn is divine…”
After reciting, she grew even more puzzled. “Auntie, why do I have to memorize these words?”
Feng Yun stroked Bai Yue’s head. “Yue’er, as the eldest princess of the Defiant Demon Dragon Clan, with your extraordinary talent, you are qualified to compete for the next Demon God Emperor.”
“And the Demon God Emperor does not need love!”
