The Spirit Beast And His Wife

At Feng Wei's words, she felt her hand slowly tilt to the side, the white jade spatial ring slipping little by little. Feng Jinglan's eyes widen in alarm and hastily closed her hand and clutched the precious ring close to her c.h.e.s.t, her heart sounded like a galloping deer. She let out a breath when she felt it's warm smooth l.u.s.ter safely on her palm.

Feng Jinglan shot her head to look up to her master with shock still written in her eyes, then look down to her closed fist, slowly unraveling her fingers like a blooming lotus. The beautiful white jade ring sat snugly on top of her palm, Feng Jinglan now stared at the ring in a new light, as if it were now her most prized possession. And now that she looked at it again, she felt a faint intricate enchantment on the inner side of the ring.

Considering that Feng Wei is an enchantment master, even though she wasn't that interested in learning about the ancient god language and enchantments, Feng Jinglan still learned a bit from being exposed a lot.

On the side, Feng Wei softly chuckled as he watched the rare befuddled expression on his normally indifferent niece. He smiled affectionately at the amazed Feng Jinglan and added, "I have one more gift, it's inside the ring, take it out and see if you like it."

At her master's words, without further ado, Feng Jinglan slipped the white jade spatial ring on her left middle finger and sent a thread of her ki to the ring. In the next second, a beautiful silver hairpin with glistening sky blue crystal ornaments materialized itself on her left hand.

Even while being a complete cultivation junkie, Feng Jinglan still retained her feminine inclinations of appreciating and liking beautiful, pretty accessories. She stared at the elegant looking hairpin, her eyes twinkling and her face slowly blooming into a smile.

Then she looked back up to her master, also smiling at her, "Do you like it?" he asked.

"It's so beautiful! How could I not like it!" Feng Jinglan hurriedly exclaimed after her master's question. Feng Wei just chuckled back at her flushed face from excitement.

"Those ornaments are from the extracted eyes of Ice Crystal Serpents that I killed from the last year's winter hunt." He continued walking, followed by Feng Jinglan.

"mhm," Feng Jinglan made a sound reply as she inspected the beautiful hairpin closely, feeling the cool aura the eye crystals seem to naturally emanate. Then she tilt her head a little to the side, pondering for a moment on how the cool feeling seemed a little familiar to her.

Feng Jinglan was lost in thought while feeling the eye crystal ornaments between her fingers and did not notice the glint that flashed on her master's eyes as he watched at how she was fiddling and feeling the crystal ornaments.

"This old man was waiting for a good reason to give the spatial ring to you, use it wisely." Seeing how his niece was coming close to a conclusion, he interrupted her train of thought.

Feng Wei's reminder brought back Feng Jinglan from her thoughts, in the end she couldn't discern why the crystal ornament's cool aura felt familiar to her. Since she couldn't understand then she'd just put that thought at the back of her mind, the aura didn't even feel dangerous and considering that it was from her master, all the confusion instantly dispelled.

Feng Jinglan stopped walking, followed by Feng Wei, and turned his way, cupped both of her hands together and bowed gratefully to her master, "yes, Master Wei. This disciple won't forget your favors today!"

Considering how spatial rings are made from rare raw materials that are naturally infused with ki and the cooperation from both an armament and enchantment master, it's both expensive and take quite a bit of time and concentration to make. Feng Jinglan's action towards the ring is understandable, usually only the elders and a few disciple with high potential would get one.

Feng Wei quickly went to lower her cupped fists and tried to straighten her bowed back with a troubled expression, "haha child, these are just but insignificant gifts compared to your achievements today. No need to be too formal,"

Feng Jinglan stubbornly bowed, "good daughter, you might not understand the weight of what you've achieved but you've just made history! You could simply treat these gifts as your rightful reward, this old man is very proud to have you as my disciple!" he added.

Feng Jinglan lowered her head close to her c.h.e.s.t and fidgeted about from her master's excessive praise, hesitantly stood straight and followed Feng Wei as he started walking again.

"Ah right, Xiao Lan. This is a good time to make use of the hairpin I just gave you.."

"mhm?"

"I might be okay with it but that old bone would definitely nitpick you about it." Feng Wei eyed at her beautiful unruly ash brown hair.

Feng Jinglan came to a realization and sheepishly laughed, "ahh haha, I was in a hurry to give you the news, master."

She then went to comb her long hair down with her white fingers and twirled her hair in a tight bun above her head using her newly acquired hairpin, short tendrils of hair framed her beautiful soft face. The big ornate doors came into view as she finish fixing her bun and patting the few wrinkles in her white cheongsam.

The servant, who was on duty for the door, straightened up upon seeing them and announced their arrival for the people inside the hall.

"Elder Feng Wei and 4th young miss arrives!"
