Volume 1: The Strife of the Azure Sky 002 Tiger's Descent Upon Pingyang

  Cang Yuan Continent, Tian Yue City.

  It's the peak of summer, and Tianyue City, which is nestled between a mountain and the sea, welcomes countless officials and nobles who come to escape the heat and have fun. It's the most lively time of the year.

  Walking on the streets of Tianyue City, the cool and moist air made everyone's face hang with a pleasant smile.

  At this time, King was lying on the hollow ancient bed in the castle master's mansion of Tianyue City, his consciousness gradually clearing up, and he couldn't help but sneer at himself. Such a huge explosion, yet he hadn't died?

  The King opened his heavy eyes, and what entered his vision was an unfamiliar light gauze canopy. Looking around, he saw hollowed-out ancient simplicity, with a flavor of antiquity that was not the modern style he was familiar with.

  King gently lifted her hand, but when her gaze fell on her arm, her pupils constricted deeply, short and small, white and tender, like a child's.

  Is this her hand?

  Plop.

  The door was suddenly opened, and a sharp voice with a cold tone rang out: "Mu Qingfeng, how long do you want to make trouble!"

  Mù Qīngfēng recalled her thoughts, raised her eyes to look at the newcomer, a woman in a luxurious purple long dress was coldly staring at her: "Just a parasite, yet you dare use suicide to attract the city lord?"

  King was taken aback.

  Mù Qīng Fēng, it had been a long time since anyone last called out her name, so long that she herself had almost forgotten her own real name.

  However--

  A flash of danger crossed King's eyes as he looked at the woman who faintly spat out a single word: "Get out."

  Even if she had just woken up and hadn't yet regained her composure, she would never allow anyone to speak to her in such a manner.

  As the Empress of the Night Honored Empire in the 22nd century, King had capital, power, and the ability to look down on heroes. What qualifications did a small woman have to shout at her, look at her with cold eyes?

  "You..." The woman was stunned by King's sudden roll of words, pointing her finger coldly at him. "Don't know what kind of thing you are, dare to be reckless and lose face for my lord's mansion again, I'll break your legs!"

  Bang!

  King suddenly picked up a teacup from beside the bed and smashed it over, staring coldly at the woman: "If you don't get out, I'll rip your tongue out!"

  The woman covered her face and was pushed out of the room by King, who had gotten out of bed, before she could even let out a scream. The door slammed shut behind her with a loud bang.

  As for why not kick it out? King lowered his head and looked at his current small arms and short legs, biting his teeth fiercely. This weak little body, this tender little body... is this really six years old?

  The King took a deep breath and walked to the window, gazing at the azure sky. He clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes slightly, and suppressed the chill in his eyes. Then he began to sort out another related memory in his mind.

  After a long while, King finally opened his eyes, with a hint of ferocity and complexity in his gaze.

  The little girl was adopted by the lord of Tianyue City from birth, and her biological parents were unknown. The lord treated his adopted daughter like his own child, but unfortunately, he was busy with official duties and had little time to spend with the little girl.

  When the lord of the castle was away, the little girl suffered all kinds of humiliation. The lady of the castle, the second lady, the two young ladies and a young master often beat and scolded her.

  The little girl didn't dare tell the city master's foster father, and she wasn't trying to attract the city master's attention by killing herself as that noblewoman said, but was... starved to death.

  And she, the overlord of the Night Empire, after perishing together with the entire federation, was reborn in this unfamiliar world, in the body of an unfamiliar little girl.

  The little girl's name was exactly the same as her original one, with the surname Mu and the given name Qingfeng.

  King walked in front of the mirror in the room, looking at that delicate and tender little face, closed his eyes, and had to accept this fact.

  She opened her eyes, one hand gently stroking the face that was identical to hers when she was a child, and the other clenched into a fist. From now on, she would be Mu Qingfeng.

  Brothers of Ye Zun, if there's a day we return, we'll still be brothers!

  Bang!

  The door was suddenly kicked open, and a tall and proud girl with a face full of anger shouted: "You little thing, you even dare to hit my second aunt! It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson for three days, you won't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth!"

  A flash of cold light flashed from the bottom of her eyes, Mu Qingfeng took a look at the window, fortunately, it was not high.

  The proud girl's next words had just left her mouth when she suddenly froze.

  All I saw was a little girl in a white dress step onto the windowsill and jump out.

  Hiss...

  Mu Qingfeng frowned, looking at the slightly swollen ankle, and silently cursed the incompetence of this young body. Before the proud girl could react, he quickly walked towards the city lord's study.

  "You're courting death!" The proud girl reacted and jumped down, chasing after Mu Qingfeng with a few quick steps, thanks to her years of martial arts training since childhood.

  Mu Qingfeng's footsteps were halted, a hint of ferocity flashed across his face, and the silver needle between his fingers gleamed with an icy light in the sunlight: "Get out!"

  Although this body is weak and small, she doesn't think she can get a good end in her hands, just now forced to jump out of the window, but didn't want to argue at this time.

  "Hey!" The proud girl's eyebrows and eyes turned sideways, and a slap was about to land on Mu Qingfeng's face.

  A glint of cold light flashed in Mu Qingfeng's eyes, was she really going to be bullied by a dog when the tiger fell into Pingyang? With a slight movement of her finger, the silver needle shot towards the girl's vital point.

  Bang!

  A sudden flash of light came from afar, knocking down the silver needles. Immediately afterwards, a stern voice rang out: "What are you doing, you rascals!"

  Mo Qingfeng's mouth curled up in a cold smile as he narrowed his eyes at the arrogant girl, thinking to himself that she would eventually pay back this life for the young lady.

  "What are you two doing, making such a ruckus?" Along with the slightly angry voice of the man, a middle-aged man wearing a black embroidered changshan with every gesture showing dignity walked into the courtyard with a stern face.

  Huo Tianhua, Lord of Tianyue City, father of the proud girl Huo Xueman, and adoptive father of six-year-old Mu Qingfeng.

  "Father, Father." Huo Xue Man saw his father and was like a mouse seeing a cat, standing in place at a loss, lowering his head and secretly gritting his teeth.

  Mù Light Wind was walking towards them with a straight gaze, and Huò Tiān Huá, this foster father, indeed regarded the little girl as his own child in memory. However, it was an undisputed fact that the little girl had died at the City Master's Manor.

  Huo Tianhua looked at Mu Qingfeng, and in this moment, he seemed to see the shadow of a certain person on her, feeling somewhat guilty under the gaze of a six-year-old girl.

  "Light Wind, you..." Huo Tianhua's words were cut off by Mu Qingfeng before he could finish.

  "Why did I spare Silver Needle?" Mu Qingfeng's eyes were mocking, her small body took a step forward, staring at Huo Tianhua, her childish voice was icy, "Or why did I strike to kill? Or why didn't I die successfully?"

  Huo Tianhua unconsciously took a step back, and after realizing it, he secretly got annoyed. He was actually forced to retreat by a six-year-old adopted daughter with just a few words. He furrowed his brow: "Qingfeng, what's wrong with you today?"

  "You'd better ask my so-called aunts and uncles about that." Mu Qingfeng sneered, the little girl still regarded him as her own father, but he hadn't seen her for a month, and not even a single dish of food had been sent over in half a month, leaving the little girl to fend for herself.

  This family, how can she make them better off.

  Huo Tianhua looked at Huo Xueman, who was already shivering with fear beside him. His already furrowed brow furrowed even deeper: "Huo Xueman, go back and reflect on your mistakes. Tell Liu Guanjia."

  Huo Tianhua has not been in the mansion for several days, so he is also unclear about what exactly happened. His sharp gaze falls on Liu Guanjia who is following behind him with his head hung low.

  Liu Guan had served the Huo family for three generations, and his position in the Huo household was not ordinary. His master was only the current head of the house, so he recounted to him one by one the events that had occurred in the manor over the past few days.

  When Liu Guan's family mentioned that Mu Qingfeng almost died from not eating for a long time, Huo Tianhua could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. With one palm strike towards the courtyard, a large tree crashed to the ground with a loud noise: "Get everyone to the conference hall!"

  Huo Tianhua suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to Mu Qingfeng's side, and with trembling fingers, said word by word: "Qingfeng, I won't let them off easy."
