Strongest Lady's

Ch. 47-Return

“Can't you work faster? I'm in a hurry!” an old man shouted at a young man before him.

“Close your mouth! I tried as quickly as possible to retrieve the dozens of medicinal plants that you ordered the old man's base!” the young man felt unwelcome and snapped back at the old man before him.

“What is this place so bad at finding workers?” lamented the old man.

“Impardon our workers, Sir. He just worked a few days.” Shema came to break up the two.

“Huh! Just get me all my orders!”

“Master Da Feng, let me,” whispered Shema.

Da Feng cursed in his heart. Lately Da Feng was bored because he kept practicing so much that he served the buyers who came, not unexpectedly he even met an impatient old man who made his emotions rise.

During this week Da Feng had not discovered the existence of any members of the Golden Lotus Sect around them, meaning that Laohua would be safe in the near future.

Da Feng went out of the Medicine Hall and entered the small restaurant standing right beside the Medicine Hall.

“Bring me wine, don't be too expensive.”

The servant girl immediately left after Da Feng mentioned her order, not long after returning with a bottle of wine immediately.

Da Feng poured wine into the cup, momentarily staring at his reflection from the small cup.

“Crazy girl, when are you back.”

The wine in the small cup ran out in one gulp. Da Feng had indeed spent his time training, but his mind kept thinking about Weiruo's state. What should he tell the empress if Weiruo doesn't return? Da Feng was frustrated thinking about that.

“Hum?”

Da Feng watched the crowd, feeling he saw something. Not long Da Feng moved from his place.

A piece of gold he threw at the servant girl who served him earlier, the girl tried to stop Da Feng because that paid too much, but Da Feng did not care and just left.

“Crazy girl!” his yell.

One in the crowd stopped his steps when he heard Da Feng's call, he slightly opened his head cover and realized that Da Feng was not far from him.

Not yet had the girl opened her mouth, Da Feng had already grasped tightly onto both of her shoulders, shaking her softly as she asked so many questions.

“Crazy girl, where have you been all this time? Why so long? Are you hurt? I hope you're okay, your father will kill me if you die.”

Weiruo chuckled slightly seeing Da Feng's demeanor. Whereas usually Da Feng would be annoying and lacking in manners, not expecting Da Feng to have such a side.

“Come back.”

Da Feng followed Weiruo, occasionally glancing sharply at Shulong who was walking a few steps behind them.

Arriving at the Weiruo Medicine hall was greeted by Shema, Qi Jia, as well as Laohua. After calming Laohua, Weiruo invited Da Feng to speak.

Shulong finally met with Laohua and Chie, finally his wait for hundreds of years to meet all his friends gradually began to come true.

Weiruo and Da Feng chatted in his private room. Everything that happened to the Golden Lotus Sect he told Da Feng, as long as Weiruo told him Da Feng listened well, the cup in the young man's hand broke after Weiruo explained the reason Ca Hongqi kidnapped Laohua.

“He should have swallowed the Bone Destroying Poison,” Da Feng said.

***

Weiruo's safe return along with Laohua made Xuan Riuyi so happy, that the woman constantly peeked at Weiruo's face so worried.

Xuan Guoxin could not hide her shock knowing that Weiruo had gone to the Huangjin Empire without any escorts, not to mention entering enemy territory.

Weiruo sat down beside her mother, only silent as the woman stroked her head gently. It was not that he could not leave, Weiruo felt so comfortable that it remained like that for so long.

Da Feng looked around in confusion. There was no one else other than the three of them, with full question marks on his face Da Feng pointed at himself.

“True, come here my handsome boy.”

Doubtfully Da Feng brought himself closer to Xuan Riuyi, the young man sat beside Xuan Riuyi somewhat doubtfully.

“Thank you for taking care of my daughter, you've worked hard.”

A loving caress flowed a warmth that Da Feng had never felt in his entire life. His body froze for a moment, the young man only lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head in the slightest.

In the evening Weiruo was training in his room, while Da Feng was busy training in the backyard of the Weiruo residence.

Da Feng swung his sword without hesitation, splitting the empty air, each swing of his sword contained a deep energy that Da Feng continued to flow into his sword.

Da Feng's movements continued on and the longer his sword swing grew faster.

“... Feng.”

“Da Feng!”

Da Feng's sword stopped being swung. Da Feng's sigh rang out clearly in the courtyard, sweat sweat drenching his temples. Roughly the young man wiped off his sweat sweat and walked over to Weiruo.

“What's up? Want to find a poison recipe?” asked Da Feng.

“No, let's practice swords together.”

Weiruo took out his sword after saying so. Da Feng only exhaled softly before following Weiruo.

The two prepared horses for each other before starting to exchange attacks, clashing swords began to fill the Weiruo residence in the middle of the silence of the night.

Unlike Da Feng's attacks that relied on attack power, Weiruo had much faster attacks and was eyeing the opponent's vital points.

Da Feng repelled every attack that came, but over time the young man was overwhelmed by Weiruo's attack.

“T-wait! Just stop! Are you going to kill me?!” da Feng shouted in panic.

Da Feng managed to deflect Weiruo's attack, at the same time the girl stopped her attack.

“You're always after my heart, are you planning to kill me?” furious Da Feng.

“I just want to see your response when the enemy is eyeing your heart.”

Da Feng snorted in annoyance at Weiruo's reply. Weiruo's goal did not hurt, seeing Da Feng's response to the incoming attack, but at the same time Da Feng also did not speculate if Weiruo intended that.

Weiruo sheathed back his sword and stored the sword into the space ring. The girl walked under a large tree and sat on a rock just below the tree.

“Come, I want to talk.”

The atmosphere was so silent, Weiruo and Da Feng just sat next to each other without speaking, both looking at the star-filled night sky.

Weiruo turned his head, watching Da Feng who was still looking up at the stars in the sky.

“The sky is beautiful,” Da Feng said suddenly, the young man noticed Weiruo's movements.

“Yes. Feng ... may I ask you one thing?”

“What?”

“What is your relationship with the Valley of Blood?”
