Chapter 373 Giving Gifts
Finding an angle where no one could see, Feng Yao reached out and hooked her arm around Liu Xian's neck.

Before the lewd smile could even spread across his face, Feng Yao tightened her grip and snapped his neck with a crisp "crack".

There were no mistakes in killing anyone on these two platforms, not even one.

Looking at Liu Xian, who had collapsed into her arms, Feng Yao looked up and asked Pei Xia, "What should we do with the body?"

Without hesitation, Pei Xia said, "Just ruin the dough and throw it out."

Feng Yao immediately did as instructed, covering her face with her slender hands and kneading Liu Xian's facial bones and features into a mass of flesh and blood. Then she picked up his corpse and threw it out of the cubicle.

With a muffled thud, the body fell into the passageway, but it went unnoticed by anyone.

Not long after, two expressionless children walked by, grabbed Liu Xian's arms, and dragged him away to who-knows-where.

On the water platform, dancers swayed gracefully, drums and music continued, and the aroma of delicious food wafted in the air, mixed with a sweet and pungent smell of blood.

For them, this familiar scene might be somewhat intoxicating.

"What's next?" Feng Yao asked.

With such a clear target, the jar gave Pei Xia another option.

Finding people is difficult, but finding jars, especially jars that are to be sent to that building for a wedding, should be easier.

Are we still going to those three places?

To be on the safe side, it's best to go.

Pei Xia considered it for a moment and asked Feng Yao, "Are you sure you can handle splitting up?"

Feng Yao paused for a moment to think before replying seriously, "Separating them isn't difficult, but putting them back together might take some effort."

"..." Pei Xia changed to a more unambiguous way of putting it, "The two of us, can we split up? You go into the Third Platform alone, is that alright?"

Feng Yao patted his chest and said, "Of course, no problem."

Pei Xia was skeptical of her "no problem" statement.

But there aren't many extra people available right now, and Feng Yao has a special "physical condition." Even if something really happens, she can just close her eyes and play dead—she can play it very convincingly.

Moreover, as long as only his head remains, Feng Yao is not considered useless.

Pei Xia pulled up her hood and quickly slipped out of the cubicle unnoticed, disappearing into the crowd.

Feng Yao didn't rush to act. She estimated the time and waited until Pei Xia should have left the second stage before pressing her knees, standing up from the cushion, and walking towards the towering building at the far end of the distance.

This is the tallest of the luxurious sect buildings in Jiangcheng Mountain. Su Yan called it Wangjiang Tower. It is said that the interior is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, with pearl curtains and gold steps, but no one knows if that's true.

When Feng Yao first left her seat, not many people noticed her.

But as the girl walked resolutely toward Wangjiang Tower, more and more eyes began to focus on her.

Even the singing, dancing, and drumming couldn't drown out the gradually growing murmurs.

On the second stage, everyone was a prominent figure in Dongqin, possessing status, wealth, or power—you had to have at least one of these qualities.

But it is precisely because of this that they are even more aware of how difficult it will be to enter the Wangjiang Tower at Su Yan's wedding.

As far as they know, those currently seated inside include the envoy of Tiger Marquis Li Qing, the general stationed at the Liangjiang Shipyard by the Eastern Marquis, the young sect leader of Baiye Plain, and the superior Vajra Realm Old Glutton.

It is said that if one can present treasures, one can be seated among them.

But to acquire such a price tag, it's not something that can be achieved with ordinary rare and precious materials.

Under everyone's gaze, Feng Yao walked to the front of Wangjiang Tower, where a boy and a girl with red lips and white teeth blocked her way.

A grey-robed elder from Jiangcheng Mountain approached from behind. Upon seeing Feng Yao, he narrowed his eyes. Besides her strikingly beautiful face, what struck him most was her age. Such a young girl, alone, dared to enter Wangjiang Tower?

The elder meant no disrespect. He walked to the two children and politely clasped his hands in greeting: "Young ladies, you cannot enter Wangjiang Tower at will."

Feng Yao nodded and calmly said, "My surname is Feng, Feng Yao, and I have a treasure to offer you."

Of course, of course, you must have brought your precious baby with you.

But my Jiangcheng Mountain sect is a great and powerful sect. What kind of treasures haven't I seen? What do you think I, such a senior elder, am waiting here for? Isn't it just to appraise them?
"Hehe, young lady, what treasure do you possess? Would you be so kind as to show it to this old man?"

"I."

“You…ah?”

The old man was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and understood Feng Yao's meaning.

He looked Feng Yao up and down again, and his gaze immediately changed.

From hair, face, chest... all the way to the feet, it's like appraising some kind of merchandise.

"The girl is young and beautiful with a good figure, and is indeed a good commodity for satisfying lust. But with just that kind of body, she is nothing more than livestock in our sect. It would be difficult for her to sit at the head of the table, wouldn't it?"

Since you've already presented yourself as a congratulatory gift, the gray-robed elder naturally won't be polite either.

Feng Yao was naturally not angry. She simply said calmly, "Even with my cultivation and superior iron bones, I cannot defeat you."

These words immediately caused the gray-robed elder's expression to change.

Jiangcheng Mountain is a major sect in Dongqin, but it only has three Vajra Realm experts within its ranks.

In other words, apart from these three, Jiang Chengshan's strongest member is only a high-grade Iron Bone.

If Feng Yao can truly suppress a high-grade Iron Bone, then this combat power will be quite significant for the entire Jiangcheng Mountain.

What are all those trivial talk about cannibalism and debauchery? It is precisely because they were born into such a world that the people of Qin understand even more clearly that might makes right.

"If they truly possess such strength, then of course it's a different story..."

The gray-robed elder stared into Feng Yao's unwavering eyes and extended a hand.

Feng Yao understood what he meant, and she reached out her fair hand to shake his.

As their palms met, the old man in gray felt a chill; the woman's hands were so cold they were almost eerie.

But soon, as both sides exerted their strength, another inexplicable heat emanated from each other's palms.

It was a burning sensation, like a blazing fire, as if she had a furnace inside her heart, constantly pumping flames into her blood vessels.

What's even more surprising is the indestructible power contained in this small palm, in addition to the sensation of extreme heat and cold!

Iron Bones, top-grade Iron Bones, even better!
The elderly people at the meeting looked at Feng Yao in shock. The girl's face remained calm as always, but at this moment, that calmness seemed more like an unfathomable reserve.

What you say is true. Even if this woman named Feng Yao hasn't reached the Vajra Realm, she is definitely not someone that ordinary people with iron bones can defeat.

Before his metacarpal bones were crushed, the old man hurriedly called out, "Alright, alright, I already know the strength of the young lady."

He pulled his hand away, glancing at Feng Yao with lingering fear: "Please wait a moment, young lady. I still need to report this matter to Elder Ma of the sect. However, these are turbulent times, and I believe the sect will not refuse a master like you."

Elder Ma.

Feng Yao's heart stirred slightly... she pretended to be slightly moved. Ma Shilin had met Feng Yao once before, but it was dark then, and they were some distance apart. Moreover, her attention was mostly on Jiang Shu at the time.

You probably wouldn't recognize me, right?
