With the door closed and seeing that nobody was going to disturb her, Yang Xia entered her soul world.
Little Feng immediately latched onto her leg and cried. His wailing made Yang Xia uncomfortable yet again.
"Master!! That evil man took advantage of you wuuu wuuwuu"
Little Feng was frightened by Wang Lei's aura. He was so upset when he saw Yang Xia being taken advantage of but couldn't do anything due to his cowardly fear and lack of power against the man. It all happened so fast, and he couldn't do anything!
"Little Feng I'm fine, the bastard is gone now so don't worry anymore. But can you let go of my leg first? I think I'm going to throw up..."
Yang Guifei comforted him the best way she could, while muttering the last bit to herself. Little Feng reluctantly let go of her, confirming that she was right.
"Listen kid- er...Little Feng," she cleared her throat. Old habits never seem to go. "I'm here to dicuss something with you"
The little boy nodded and lead her to somewhere they could sit and talk.
"It's like this, I'm sure you've heard the conversation with that bastard old merchant. I wish to enter into the academy."
Little Feng tilted his head.
"Why, master?"
"I want to become stronger. He said that the academy is responsible for producing strong people, and I'd like to see for myself if his words are true. Although my main goal is to seek revenge and eradicate the poison from my Yang clan, for that I need to become a stronger person!" 'also it might be fun to just join an academy instead of immediately destorying my family like other novel MCs...'
The boy nodded, his red hair bouncing with the motion. It was at this moment when Little Feng realised that he didn't know much about his master's background. He took the moment to ask.
" Master, can I ask why you want revenge? I realized now that i don't actually know alot about your background.."
Yang Xia though for a minute before deciding that it would be alright to tell him. Since she was the owner of the fire jade ring, little Feng was pretty much what most may call a contracted beast since he was now bounded to her for life. Because of this, Yang Guifei had come to the decision that little Feng was one of her people now and someone she would protect. And definitely not because he was a cheat. Definitely not...
"I ended up being a trash who couldn't cultivate, so I was treated poorly by those around me. My father's second wife and her daughter dispised me since I was the embarrassment of the family and also the heir to the Yang clan. The two of them plotted to get rid of me for ten years through years of abuse, in the end they wounded me and left me to die in the forest. Because of all the mistreatment, do I want revenge!"
Little Feng listened intently. At the end he couldn't help but feel angry at the Yang family for harming his master! his master opened up his eyes and allowed him to be his own person! she was a kind and thoughtful person, she didn't deserve that kind of treatment at all!It made him even more determined to help her!
" Little Feng do you understand now why I want to become stronger now?"
She questioned, petting his wild red hair. The boy looked at her with eyes of determination! He nodded vigorously.
"Yes master! Little Feng will help you accomplish your goal!! Once I grow up, I'll get rid of anybody that bullies you!!"
His eyes shined and Yang Xia couldn't help but find his enthusiasm a bit cute...
She quickly because serious again as she continued. Little Feng noticed and settled down to hear his master's words.
"Little Feng, is there a way for me to disguise myself as a male?"
Little Feng smiled, a sense of pride growing in him. He puffed out his chest and pointed at the jade ring on her small hand.
"Not only can the fire jade ring help store things, it can also distort and change the appearance of the owner! This can be controlled by a mere thought! but the mirage might not work on those who have very high spiritual ranks, the fire jade ring can only do so much at its current power..."
Yang Guifei was surprised but also impressed. She looked at the ring on her finger, this fire jade was very useful! It was extremely lucky of her to stumble upon that cabin and secret room! extremely lucky...maybe TOO lucky...oh well! finder's keepers!
"I see... This function will come in handy in the future."
"But master, why would you want to change your appearance though? Little Feng thinks you're very beautiful already! Are you not satisfied with your looks?" he innocently questioned with a tilt of his head.
Yang Xia simply shook her head and explained.
"I want to enter the academy as a male instead in order to hide my true identity in case the Yang clan finds out and tries to kill me again."
He nodded in understanding.
"Little Feng, I'll be leaving now."
Yang Xia excused herself and left the soul world. With new information at hand, she decided that she needed male clothes in order for her disguise to work. So with her hood up, she left the Inn and made her way to a random clothing shop.
Looking around, she spotted a set of black male robes that similarly resembled the ones she currently wore. Being pleased with her choice, she paid at the counter and left to go back to the Inn to change.
Taking off the cloak she wore and putting the new clothes on, she found them to be quite comfortable. Suddenly feeling a bit annoyed how men seemed to always get the more comfy and simple looking attire while women's clothing was always a puzzle and frustrating to wear. She looked at the ring on her hand and thought about being a male. Within a second, she felt her body change. Taking a mirror out from her soul world, she looked at her appearance. Yang Guifei had to admit, she looked quite attractive as a male! her eyes slowly drifted down towards her waist before deciding against the thought. She cleared her throat, and mind.
Little Feng's voice appeared in her head,
"Master! You look like a handsome young scholar!! Everyone will be fooled by you now!"
Yang Guifei agreed. This disguise was perfectly deceiving! she wondered if she could get a harem with these looks.
Everything was going smoothly. She had her disguise. She was also confident with passing the academy acceptance test. If they wanted talent, she had it!
It's not everyday you meet a 19 year old who has reached the high stage master rank at a young age, who also possessed all three legendary attributes including one from the main branch.
Definitely not everyday...
