Twin Star Phoenix Princess

In the darkest pit of the night, when the cicadas are being loud and annoying. The northern wind echoed as the leaves came swaying on it's rhythm. Inside the manor's house, on Jang Ningning's room can be heard the shattering of hundred year old vase. The person who throw the irreplaceable thing was huffing in anger and streams of smoke came from her head.

" You mean to say Liang Mo summoned that wench to his private room? The one that even myself is off limits? What qualities does she have that she was allowed to?!" The servant who reported to her shivered in fear. Now she regretted it reporting to her. She taught that if she make a little inch to the mistress she will treat her differently. But the reality was splash like a bucket of cold water right in front of her face. The lady was even more terrifying from before. Her sickly appearance was nowhere to be found now.

"Did you know what they talk?"

"Milady, this servant only dare to look from afar. Young Master's loyal guards are guarding the door."

"You useless thing!" Jang Ningning went on rampage again.

Does that wench also dream on becoming a madam? Even if she's only a slave, if Liang Mo accept her she could be a concubine. That Feng Long Wan will still be of lower status that her. But she hates the fact that she shares the same face as the previous lover of Liang Mo. What if their old feeling will come back and he leaves her. If he was able to turn his back to his previous lover, then no matter they are in love in the future when feelings are gone, he would really leave her behind. This cannot happen.

She was reduce to this because of them, its their responsibility! There's nowhere she can go back now. This is her last hope. They don't need to find what happened to her.

Then just as she was thinking what to do to make that woman obey her, a brilliant idea flash across her mind.

***

Feng Long Wan slept soundly that night. The fatigue really dawn into her. She uses her spiritual influence for the first time and it eats her energy.

When Morning came, they resume their job. Pasting talismans to every house. Of course, they also needed the consent of every owner.

Seeing the talisman some of people gaze become alert. Now that their have experience some kind of curses, who knows what this thing will bring to her. Other household owner rejected the idea of pasting weird talismans of their homes. Refusing to past it no matter what.

" You said we have to stick this thing inside on our homes. But even you yourselves do not know what is this thing purpose? Are you even doing your job!"

One of the men Feng Long Wan visited retaliated. This man was as sc.u.mmy as his face. He was short and oily.

Feng Long Wan couldn't refute him. She really don't know what is this thing's purpose probably to drive demon's right?

"It's to drive demons"

Loud murmurs erupted from the surrounding crowd. It was pretty obvious that they wouldn't believe her.

'she say demons…?

' would that mean that our place is not safe anymore?'

'but demons won't show up here in the middle of the city'

'yeah right, they have been exterminate ages ago'

'hey this girl said she was working with the mayor. Could it be that she's like them?'

'she must be. Saying he's not working on them she must be lying'

Feng Long Wan's ear perk up. Even if she doesn't want to hear their whispers she couldn't help it. Must be because that she has cultivation now.

and aren't they petty for judging her.

What the point in arguing? No need to nit-pick. Their homes need only to be pasted with talisman and what's the harm in it?

"we cannot allow you to put that on our homes. Who knows, what that talisman invokes. Don't you know that there are also talismans that summons demons? That city mayor doesn't care for his people. He might even want to destroy us how oppose him"

"I tell you, this is not a harmful talisman—"

"How can we know that! Your not a cultivator!"

" Do not act all arrogant here! We don't need that one!" it come to the point where the one grumpy man pulled out his hoe and swayed in right in front of her.

Feng Long Wan stayed vigilant. That weapon he was holding was quite dangerous ah.

"I didn't mean harm. In fact, it was my Senior brother who told me to paste this talisman. He doesn't give specific details but are you doubting the credibility of his sect?"

"what does that sect can do! Can they resurrect the died. Everytime they arrive to help it's always too late. Because we have no money we depended of the high nobility but what did they do? They even collide with each other"

"That was because you didn't tried to hard? What? don't tell me that you never receive money from the mayor. Its just saying that you more care for the money than your dead"

"lying wench! What can we do! We are poor!"

"Being poor doesn't give hinder you with your conviction! You let your daughters be exchange with money'

Everyone felt silent as if they are contemplating. Feng Long Wan added "you have the advantage. The government is only a few people. You compose of a hundred household. If you use this advantage you all might gain sympathy and audience from those sect"

"That doesn't change the fact that we will let the blood curse talisman pasted on our house door!"

Arggh! These people are close minded.

An old grandma step up to be on her side.

"This child has gone door to door and give us this warning. You hooligans just need to put it. Why is it hard doing it?"

"heh, an old lady who has no teeth need not to enter the stage. This is between us and that face bitch"

"yeah you might not know but she must be secretly investigating us. Pinpointing which side oppose the government. And secretly dispatch us. My only daughter was gone yeah thanks to them!"

The man even grab a nearby pebble and aim to throw at the old lady but Feng Long Wan was enough to shield her. It landed on her head. Blood flows down. When everyone saw the blood, their looks didn't change. As if they didn't care that someone was wounded.

"You dare to harm an innocent child! How petty you are people" the old lady defended her. knowing that this injury should be hers but the child took it for her.

Feng Long Wan, "Grandma, please get out of here. They are dangerous. You are not against them."

"Get out here if you don't want to get hurt! We don't need your fake talisman.!" shouted one of the villagers.

Feng Long Wan only stared at them.

She took the old lady and went out.

While walking, she couldn't help but sigh thinking how can she fulfill the request of his Senior Brother? He even went to pour his blood just to draw the talisman yet they refuses her. What would she gonna tell him when he ask her? Would she then be called useless and the time when her head separate from her body is not so far.

Old Grandma was called Muyang, "Child, do not feel aggrieve. They has just experience severe sorrows that they are not open for uncertain conditions."

The old grandma was caring and very hospitable. Even in her shabby house she was able to offer her some condiment and drinks.

The old woman was the only one on her household. Her daughter and his husband died 10 years ago leaving her alone. She has been living with her back garden harvest and her wild stocks at the back of her house.

She was good to Feng Long Wan... might be because she has the same size and stature from her dead daughter. Her daughter was also petite with soft skin as if she was a child of a wealthy individual. She was once hailed the most beautiful among the whole city.

But she just died of illness.

Her husband follow her a year after.

But the old lady didn't even think of attempting to suicide and ending her life. She knows that her daughter might be reincarnated after so many years. She might not know when but even if she can't see her, the taught of her living again is blissful enough. She only hope that this time she will be born of high status or someone with power. She already experience the hardsh.i.p.s and unfairness of being poor. She wants her to be more comfortable in her next life.
