Chapter 79 Asking for help
Feng Yu was organizing her drawings when she suddenly heard Old Man Huo shout, "A daughter is no longer meant to be kept at home!" Thinking that Shen Xianzi had been punished by her father, she immediately put down her drawings and prepared to go and protect her.
Just as I was about to go upstairs, I saw Fairy Shen coming down with a smile.
Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Fairy Shen, what's wrong with Old Man Huo?"
Shen Yao looked back upstairs, but the building was empty.
He rushed downstairs, grabbed Feng Yu's arm, and said, "Don't worry about him. Let's go to the carving studio. I'll give you some good stuff."
Feng Yu, who was being pulled, felt a tingling sensation in her arm and a sweet taste in her throat that lingered in her heart.
Once inside the carving studio, Shen Yao closed the door.
Feng Yu's Adam's apple bobbed.
Shen Yao closed the door, and when she turned around, she noticed the thick stack of drawings on the desk.
"You've drawn so many sketches?" Shen Yao walked over curiously. "May I see them?"
"Okay." Feng Yu followed with a heavy heart, since the drawings were originally meant for her.
Shen Yao scrunched up her face, looking at it with increasing disgust: "Why did you draw so many ugly monsters?"
"Are they ugly?" Feng Yu's tense heart relaxed, and she took out a pile of drawings from the drawer. "Take a look at these."
Shen Yao took the drawing: "Hmm... this one is still acceptable."
He placed the sketches he had reviewed on the table and commented on each one: "This one is not bad."
"These eyes are beautiful."
"This is too old."
"Overall, it's pretty good."
“This…” Shen Yao held the sketch in her hand, looked at Feng Yu’s face, then looked at the sketch again: “Is this drawn based on your own face?”
Feng Yu nodded slightly.
Shen Yao rolled up the drawing and put it into her storage ring: "The drawing is good, but you look better in person. I'll keep this and help you revise it."
Shen Yao didn't bother to look at the rest closely. She flipped through them casually and put them on the table, saying, "All things considered, none of them are as pretty as you!"
Feng Yu's face flushed red like a fruit ripened too quickly, and he asked cautiously, "Does Fairy Shen think... I'm pretty?"
Shen Yao exclaimed without hesitation, "Beautiful! The most beautiful in the world!"
Their eyes met, and both of them held their breath, a brief silence falling over the carving studio...
Shen Yao was the first to come to her senses, looked away, took out the storage ring given to her by the Feng family head, and handed it to Feng Yu.
Feng Yu: "This is our Feng family's storage ring, what's wrong with it?"
Shen Yao: "Yes, it was given to me by your grandfather. It's the Ten Perfect Knife from the treasure appraisal event."
Feng Yu didn't take it: "Why would you give it to me?"
Shen Yao shoved the storage ring into his hand: "Take it!"
Feng Yu obediently pinched it.
Shen Yao: "There are 135,000 Perfect Blades inside. 100,000 of them are for you to make into spiritual treasures for me, and the remaining 35,000 are your reward."
Just as Feng Yu was about to speak, Shen Yao interrupted her: "Don't talk. Put away the Ten Perfections Blade. As for what kind of magical treasure to make... you can do whatever you want."
"If you dare to come back, I'll never talk to you again."
……
Chu Yun told Wei Zhuang about how Shen Yao hit Cheng Xiao with the Ten Perfect Stone in the guest hall.
After much thought, Wei Zhuang concluded that Fairy Shen must be, as Chu Yun had said, a fairy with a cheerful and straightforward personality.
If you beat around the bush, it might offend her.
In the end, he decided to go directly to the Feng family's villa to find her.
As he approached, Wei Zhuang sent Shen Yao a message: 'Fairy Shen, I am Wei Zhuang, the young sect master of the Guardian Immortal Sect of Weicheng. I have urgent business to discuss with you. I am waiting for you at the entrance of the Feng family's villa. I hope you will grant me your request!'
Shen Yao had a deep impression of Wei Zhuang because when they exchanged tokens at the treasure appraisal event, Wei Zhuang's eyes were full of anticipation.
She was curious to know what he was expecting.
As expected, Wei Zhuang was waiting at the gate of the Feng family's villa, accompanied by Chu Yun.
Shen Yao was surprised to find that the two knew each other and seemed to have a close relationship.
We found a teahouse nearby, got a private room, and listened to what they had to say.
Upon entering the private room, Wei Zhuang and Chu Yun both knelt down on one knee.
Shen Yao was startled: "What are you doing?!"
Wei Zhuang: "Fairy Shen, to be honest, Wei City is on the verge of falling! The True God Sect's assistance is limited, and our Immortal Guardian Sect has also suffered heavy casualties... We are truly at our wits' end... The citizens of Wei City have either fled or died, and those who are still alive are mostly wounded or seriously ill..."
Wei Zhuang choked up.
Chu Yun continued, "Fairy Shen, Weicheng is located on the edge of Jizhou, bordering the Demon Clan. In recent years, for some reason, there have been many evil cultivators among the Demon Clan. These evil cultivators have profound skills and cruel methods. Weicheng is really on the verge of collapse!"
After hearing what they said, Shen Yao understood what was going on: "Get up quickly, sit down and talk!"
The cultivators sat down around the tea table.
Shen Yao: "What are you talking about, these evil cultivators?"
Wei Zhuang: "They are a faction of demonic cultivators who specialize in devouring and pleasure-seeking techniques. They devour the soul cores and spiritual consciousness of other cultivators. These evil cultivators cultivate very quickly, rapidly increasing their rank, and some have even broken through to higher levels!"
Shen Yao: "What about the other sects in Weicheng? What about the nearby sects and large families? Don't they have any reinforcements?"
Wei Zhuang: "Fairy, Weicheng used to have several intermediate and advanced sects. Since the invasion of evil cultivators, the sects in Weicheng have been merged into the Immortal Protection Sect, and everyone is fighting on the front lines."
"The True God Sect has provided food and spiritual treasures, and has also sent high-level cultivators to assist, but the border between the Immortal Clan and the Demon Clan, as well as many cities, are experiencing fierce battles and all need assistance. The True God Sect has no time to attend to everyone."
"As for the other sects and families in Jeju... the reply they gave was: no reward offered, no assistance possible."
Hearing this, Shen Yao was furious: "Utterly foolish! The front lines are failing, do they think they can rest easy in the rear? What are these sect leaders and family heads doing?! Don't they have any brains?"
Chu Yun: "Fairy Shen, you may not know this, but only Weicheng in Jizhou borders the Demon Clan's territory. The other places have complex terrain and are home to many high-level exotic beasts, making it difficult for demon cultivators to invade."
"In the prosperous areas of Jeju, the immortal ancestors of those high-level sects and great families have joined forces to create a forbidden zone behind the city, along the area where strange beasts gather. Even if the demons break through the city, they cannot attack them. They can indeed rest easy."
Shen Yao: "Then why not establish a forbidden realm on the front lines of Weicheng?"
Wei Zhuang: "Originally, the border between immortals and demons was surrounded by forbidden realms, except for the river. Every time a forbidden realm dissipated, the immortal saints of the True God Sect stationed at the border would re-establish the forbidden realms."
"But a few years ago, many evil cultivators suddenly appeared in the Demon Clan. These evil cultivators had powerful techniques, and there were many evil saints among them. Every time the forbidden realm changed, these evil saints would guard and attack the immortal saints stationed there."
"One evil saint can kill two immortal saints. The forbidden realms at the borders often cannot be replaced in time, and the demon race will launch a large-scale invasion."
Shen Yao: "Since the various immortal ancestors in Jizhou can create forbidden realms in the rear, why don't they go to the front lines and create forbidden realms for Weicheng?"
Wei Zhuang: "They replied with the same thing: no reward, no assistance."
Shen Yao was furious: "They are so short-sighted and utterly ignorant!"
