Chapter 56: Getting Back What Belongs to Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ji Fengyan had almost brought back all the stones that she could find in the city. After this last batch entered today, it was probably going to be difficult to find a decent quality ore to supply her cultivation.

Without any rare ores, it would mean that the recovery of her inner core would stop. This was something Ji Fengyan could not accept.

She was still hoping to continue her journey of immortal ascension after her inner core has recovered!

After opening the last batch of ores and absorbing them, Ji Fengyan brought little Bai Ze, whose height only reached her thighs, to the yard to sit as she cracked melon seeds. She felt troubled.

“Frustrating,” Ji Fengyan said, and threw the melon seed shells on the stone table.

Little Bai Ze leaned on Ji Fengyan’s legs. The injury on its hooves had almost fully recovered and that pair of teary and big eyes seemed to be a little more energetic.

Linghe had just finished dealing with all the ores and saw that his Miss was sitting in the yard with a depressed look and staring into space. Linghe, who had been tortured numb by Ji Fengyan’s genius work with the ores, walked up and asked, “Miss, what is wrong again?”

“There are no more ores,” Ji Fengyan frowned.

“...” Linghe felt that he should not have been so meddlesome.

“Brother Ling, where do you think I can get more ores?” Ji Fengyan lifted her head to look at Linghe. After this period of rest, the dry and bony body had already become rounder and nourished and no longer looked like a little paper person. That pair of eyes were filled with troubles and instantly made Linghe’s—this tall and burly man—heart melt.

Their Miss looked so pitiful that it made people want to shower her with love!

“Um, I’m not sure about this, just that... Ji City had always produced many ores, but most of these ores are in the hands of the City Lord, and ordinary people cannot get access to that many ores...” Linghe did not finish his words, but Ji Fengyan had already shot up from her seat!

A pair of dazzling eyes looked at Linghe.

“Brother Ling!”

“Yes?” Linghe was shocked.

“Let’s go to the City Lord’s residence?” Ji Fengyan smiled as she said.

“Wha... what?” Linghe was a little stunned.

“Aren’t I Ji City’s City Lord? Isn’t it natural for me to take back what belongs to me?” Just the thought of an entire mountain of rare ore made Ji Fengyan feel an adrenaline rush all over her body... the days to her inner core recovery was no longer far!

Linghe was taken aback by Ji Fengyan’s words. To be honest, ever since Ji Fengyan reached Ji City, she had not enjoyed the treatment that a City Lord should receive at all. Instead, she was oppressed by Lei Xu that bastard in many ways. Linghe and the rest were angry but Ji Fengyan seemed to be unconcerned and never brought up the matter of City Lord. Today, Ji Fengyan finally realised that she was the real City Lord of Ji City!

This made Linghe very delighted!

“Miss, hold on, I’ll go get our men this instant!” Linghe’s blood all over his body was filled with zeal in this instant. Almost at the instant after he finished his sentence, he rushed out and prepared to gather all his people to help Ji Fengyan claim back what belonged to her.

But...

“Uh, I feel that Brother Ling had misunderstood my intentions.” Looking at Linghe’s back view emitting with death aura, Ji Fengyan suddenly had a feeling of not knowing whether to cry or laugh. If Linghe had known that her motivation for becoming the City Lord came from those mineral veins...

Forget it, it’s best not to let him be dealt with a blow.

“Little Bai, wait until my inner core has recovered and I will give you some immortal aura. Then, you will definitely become the most beautiful deer in the world.” Ji Fengyan lowered her head and smiled as she stroked Bai Ze’s hair.

Bai Ze looked at Ji Fengyan with a muddled look, completely not knowing the meaning in Ji Fengyan’s words.
