Chapter 10: Feng Jiu Ge
...
( had read all your comments on little Hu Immortal, and I'm deeply grateful to Brother Lucinziel for his open-mindedness. His speech moved me greatly, and because of it, I've decided not to have such dangerous thoughts again )

"A.I, scan me," Fang Yuan ordered the A.I chip, already knowing what the result would be.
He was exhausted. His body barely moved as fatigue weighed on him heavily.
Even though he had made all necessary arrangements, refining an Immortal Gu with a mortal body was no easy feat. Was it so simple to refine an Immortal Gu? Many Gu Immortals faced severe backlashes when they made mistakes during refinement—injury at best, death at worst.
[Beep! Scan complete. Fang Yuan, Status: soul injured.]
"The foundation of my soul is too weak and got injured. But thankfully, this is Dang Hun Mountain..." Fang Yuan's expression relaxed slightly as he thought this. He called out lightly, "Land spirit."
"Master?" Hu Immortal Land Spirit appeared, lowering her head. Her face flushed as she shyly looked at her feet.
Hu Immortal was like a little girl, appearing five to six years old, with a colorful dress and snowy white skin glowing with a hint of pinkness. Her large, shiny black eyes emitted an innocent gaze, and behind her back, a fluffy, snow-white fox tail swayed. She was irresistibly cute, and one could hardly resist the urge to play with her.
Just as Fang Yuan was about to give her orders, the refinement inside him finished.
The Divine Travel Immortal Gu appeared in front of him.
"Hahaha, my gains are enormous," Fang Yuan laughed in excitement but quickly composed himself. "I'll count them after healing my soul."
"Little Hu Immortal, teleport me to the nearest gutstone."
"Yes," Hu Immortal nodded obediently but hesitated for a moment before adding, "Master, you do not like clothes? Wearing something nice will energize you and make you feel happier."
Fang Yuan: "…"
He had spare clothing stored in his storage Gu. After changing into a black robe, he was teleported to the peak of Dang Hun Mountain.
"Master, there's a gutstone here," Hu Immortal pointed below her feet.
Gutstones were only found on Dang Hun Mountain. Breaking one open revealed a Guts Gu.
Guts Gu were one-time consumable soul path Gu. They could improve soul foundation and add soul path dao marks to the user's body or their immortal aperture. The common uses of Guts Gu were to heal a sustained soul injury or strengthen the soul.
However, one's soul couldn't be endlessly strengthened with Guts Gu. After a certain limit, the soul needed to be refined to continue benefiting from it.
Fang Yuan quickly walked over, squatted down, and smashed the gutstone with his hand.
As the stone shattered, a Gu flew out, turning into an eerie grey light that entered Fang Yuan's body. His mind instantly felt clearer. But mentally drained and physically exhausted, Fang Yuan decided to rest.
Before drifting off to sleep, Fang Yuan felt a wave of relief wash over him as he thought, "I'm sure my brother He Feng Yang will do his best to protect me."
"Such a good brother," he mused with a faint smile. "I will reward him once I become a Venerable."
…
Days later...
Atop a green mountain valley, a small waterfall flowed downward like a strip of silvery silk, its soft murmur blending with the sounds of nature. The stream fed into an ancient lake, dark jade in color, its deep surface rippling under the weight of time. Within the water, fish of all kinds swam gracefully, their colors shimmering like jewels under the sunlight.
On a white rock by the lake, Feng Jin Huang sat, her eyes closed. Her face, bright and beautiful, was reflected in the dark water below, lending an elegant brilliance to the scene. The colorful fish, the clear water, the silvery waterfall, and the lush green valley all existed in perfect harmony.
But the beauty around her was lost on Feng Jin Huang. Her face, though radiant, was clouded by a deep gloom.
No matter how hard she tried to calm herself, every time she closed her eyes, the same image flashed from the depths of her mind.
That day atop the pink crystal mountain… him.
A naked man stood before her, black eyes staring down coldly. She had been on the edge of the cliff, helpless. When she looked up, she saw everything — his strong muscles, his broad chest, and that... massive thing between his legs. The image had burned itself into her memory, inescapable.
But it wasn't just the sight of him. It was his actions.
The question he had asked her — so shameless.
And then… he kicked her, throwing her off the cliff. The feeling of his foot connecting with her face, the impact, the humiliation — it was so vivid that she could still feel it even now.
"Forget it. Forget him. Stay calm… stay calm..." she whispered to herself, her breathing growing more rapid despite her efforts.
Her chest heaved, her breaths becoming erratic. Shame, anger, and some unknown feelings twisted together inside her, boiling over.
"How could he? How could he do that to me?!" she whispered, eyes snapping open, her hands clenching into fists.
Suddenly, she stood, her phoenix eyes burning with fury.
"You… despicable, shameless man!" she shouted, voice echoing through the valley. "You dared to stand naked before me… dared to kick me down the cliff! I swear, I'll make you regret it! I'll make you pay!"
Her fists lashed out, striking the air with raw power.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Each punch sent shockwaves through the surroundings. The ancient lake evaporated, the green hills surrounding it scorched and crumbling under the intensity of her rage. Rocks flew, the ground cracked, the entire valley shook as her frenzied blows ravaged the landscape.
In just a few breaths, the beautiful valley was reduced to ruins.
And yet, Feng Jin Huang did not stop. Her screams tore through the air, her fury an unstoppable force.
(Never confront a woman in her anger; there is a deep meaning behind this that only a few will truly understand.)
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"This scoundrel!!!
"Shameless naked man"
"I swear, I'll make you pay. I want you to regret everything you have done to me. "
Feng Jin Huang continued without stopping, the anger in her chest consuming her, driving her beyond all rational thought
…
Hundreds of miles away, atop a mountain peak, a house stood quietly against the sky. Inside, a pair of worried eyes watched the scene unfold.
"Oh, my little Feng'er…" The woman, dressed in white silk with a green belt, had a dignified and elegant air, her features bearing a striking resemblance to Feng Jin Huang's. She was Fairy Bai Qing, a Rank Six Gu Immortal and Feng Jin Huang's mother.
"Stop watching her. You've already looked seven or eight times in the past ten minutes," a man's voice spoke from behind. "The jade sea tide tea I brewed for you is getting cold. Come and sit down."
Feng Jiu Ge sat nearby, sipping tea with a helpless expression.
"Drink, drink, drink — all you care about is drinking tea! Is Feng Jin Huang even your daughter? Aren't you worried about her at all?" Bai Qing turned to face him, her brows furrowed in frustration.
"Our daughter has always been competitive, ever since she was a child," she continued. "Her talent was unmatched in the sect. But the Hu Immortal Inheritance was her first failure... the most important failure of her life. And you, her father, are still in the mood to drink tea?"
Bai Qing's voice trembled as she continued. "She didn't just lose. She was humiliated, trampled on. And worst of all, she saw him — that naked man — for the first time, saw a man's body from her age. How could she marry again after something like that?"
