"Greetings, Young Lady," The head steward waiting outside greeted Feng Yu.

"How's father?" She asked.

"Master Ru has woken up. All his wounds are healed, and he is currently talking with Elder Jing," The head steward answered while bowing.

'Thank god…' Yi Chen sighed in relief. However, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes when he heard Elder Jing's name, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

Even though she had a connection with Feng Yu now, it still didn't sit well with him that she was so heavy-handed earlier with not only him but also Feng Yu's father.

Feng Yu was immediately able to sense the clenching of Yi Chen's fists, but despite noticing this, she didn't say anything.

"Alright, no need to escort us in," Feng Yu told the head steward the next moment, and with Yi Chen in tow, went inside the quarter.

The two soon reached the sleeping chamber, and Feng Yu slid open the door.

Elder Jing, who had already heard her footsteps earlier, was standing in front of the door. Seeing Feng Yu standing in front of her, she immediately greeted.

"I, Jing Ru, Grand Elder of the Eternal Phoenix Sect, pay respect to the Phoenix Empress."

She performs an immaculate ninety-degree bow in as sincere a manner as possible.

With her heart racing wildly, Elder Jing waited for a response from Feng Yu.

Feng Yu, who was in no hurry to answer, glanced towards Elder Jing's side and saw her father on the bed.

He was currently sitting on the bed with his back resting comfortably on the bed's headboard.

As their eyes locked, Zheng Ru nodded towards his daughter with a smile, indicating that he was alright.

Elder Jing had explained to him about everything that had happened and also had sincerely apologised for her mistake.

Therefore, Zheng Ru was only glad to see Feng Yu all fine at the moment.

Feng Yu too smiled back with a nod as her gaze turned back towards Elder Jing.

Her smiling face was immediately replaced with a frigid one. An invisible sound barrier covered the entire room the next moment.

"Rise," Feng Yu said in an authoritative tone.

Elder Jing's growing nervousness disappeared when she finally heard her words and raised her head the next moment.

However, that very instant, a fiery red Qi escaped Feng Yu's body and not even a second later, Elder Jing's entire body was engulfed in fuming flames.

Flames that were as scarlet as the colour of blood danced with rage as the entire room echoed with ear-splitting cries.

AHHHHHH!

Both Yi Chen and Zheng Ru were taken by horror and surprise by the sudden turn of events.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, their breaths were held in their chest, and they were unable to speak even a word.

EMPRESS! I APOLOGISE!

FORGIVE ME!

EMPRESSSSS!

Elder Jing begged for forgiveness as her deafening screeches continued to echo without pause.

However, despite this, not a single trace of mercy appeared in Feng Yu's cold eyes and without any change in her expression, she emotionlessly watched Elder Jing cry for help.

Gulp

Yi Chen gulped down his saliva, seeing this sight. The anger he held for Elder Jing had long disappeared by now, and in his heart, there was only pity for her.

'To think she's the same woman who was smiling like an angel just a moment ago…' he couldn't help but think to himself while looking at Feng Yu's back.

Zheng Ru's thoughts were also on the same line as Yi Chen's. To see his flower-like daughter do something like this was truly a mind-boggling experience.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing's screeches slowly died down as she felt her end coming near.

It was only at this point that Feng Yu waved her hand, and the fire that was engulfing Elder Jing's body disappeared as if it never existed, and she fell on her knees, devoid of any strength.

However, what's even more surprising is the fact that there is not a single burn mark on Elder Jing. All her clothes were fine, and it was the same for her skin and hair.

'This…'

Yi Chen and Zheng Ru raised their eyes in astonishment.

And as if to answer their doubts, Feng Yu said while looking down at Elder Jing's figure.

"I'm only being lenient since everything was taken care of. If not for that, then even reducing our entire nine generations to ashes would fail to appease anger,"

Feng Yu's words echoed in Elder Jing's ears and stirred her awake.

The next moment, Elder Jing banged her head on the floor and kowtowed.

"I thank the Empress for showing leniency," she exclaimed in trepidation.

Others who didn't know her identity would take such warnings lightly, but Elder Jing didn't dare.

She clearly was aware of the Empress's personality and how cruel she could be.

"Leave," Feng Yu ordered without batting an eye.

"Yes, Empress," Elder Jing stood up and, with another bow, left the bedroom.

Now it was just the three of them in the room.

"Yu'er?" Zheng Ru couldn't help but call her name as if wanting to confirm that the person in front of him was still his daughter, not.

"Yes, father?" Feng Yu asked while turning towards him. A bright expression completely unlike her previous frigid one was present on her face.

"It's…" Zheng Ru couldn't help but be surprised at this change, "…You didn't get hurt earlier, right?"

"Yes, I'm completely fine," Turning towards Yi Chen, who was still standing near the door, she asked with a confused expression, "You're not entering?"

"A-Ah yes!" Yi Chen exclaimed, and two of them soon were standing next to Zheng Ru.

'Now that she's back to her normal behaviour, why does she appear scarier…' a thought ran in Yi Chen's mind as he observed her talking with her father.

"Father, how much did she tell you about the situation?" Feng Yu suddenly asked while pointing her towards the door behind her.

Understanding whom she meant, Zheng Ru answered, "Well, I was very suspicious at first regarding what she had told me, but after seeing what had happened just now…I had no choice but to accept her words.

At that time, when I woke up, I was surprised to see Elder Jing beside me. Even before I could react in anger, she apologised with her head down and informed me about the situation.

To think my daughter is someone so powerful…I can't help but be proud ahahha!"

Zheng Ru laughed with pride, clear in his voice.

Yi Chen shared the same feeling from the side.

Having a powerful wife behind his back will finally allow him some breathing room, and he can take his time getting stronger under her protection...or so he thought.

'So he still doesn't know about realms and about that... It's better this way. I can give the news to both of them personally,' Feng Yu thought as grief appeared in those emerald eyes of hers.

The next moment, her gaze turned firm, and she finally said with a serious expression, "Actually, there's something more that you two must know…"
