Chapter 44 - Internal Musings of a Young Master

Fen Hanying had always been the apple of his Grandfather's, Fen Lee's, eye. Because he had been born with a unique constitution that had made the Yang energy in his body much stronger than normal, his potential had always been the highest in the entire Clan, nay, the entire City! To aid in his growth, his Grandfather had always found him suitable maidens from outside the Clan the help nourish his Yang energy further by consuming the virgin Yin contained within the bodies of females.

Since he was able to become stronger while playing with women, Fen Hanying had always thought his life would be filled with sensual entertainment as he quickly increased his own cultivation further. He even believed that, in the near future, he would be able to have his way with the unplucked flowers of the other Clans within the City, increasing his own power even further. His rise was the same as the Fen families rise, so they had never spared any efforts in helping to make this dream of his a reality...

So, why then, was that very same family currently being torn to shreds by the very girl that his Grandfather had claimed would be his key to becoming even stronger? His Grandfather had mentioned that, much like he had a unique Yang-based constitution, this woman before him had a Yin-based one. It was almost like fate had decreed his rise to prominence by bringing him the very thing he needed to pave his way forward. He could even feel the energy in his body surging the moment he laid eyes on her and, though she was very intimidating, Fen Hanying couldn't help but think about all the ways he would make her scream when she became his...

So, how did the situation change so drastically that, instead of 'his' woman screaming for him, everyone that had treated him with care was currently screaming for her? What gave her, a simple furnace meant to aid in his growth, the right to go around killing his Clan members as if she were simply harvesting wheat in a field? Why were the Elders he had respected, the same ones who always told him how powerful he would be in the future, now groveling before this girl who was even smaller than he was? Did he drink some bad soup the previous night and, without realizing it, get stuck in a nightmare world that seemed more real than the reality he knew from memory...?

These were questions Fen Hanying desperately wanted answers to but, shortly after his Grandfather had both of his arms cut off by the woman that 'should' have been his, her scarlet red eyes trained on him. In an instant, Fen Hanying felt as if his body were seized by a pressure that he could never hope to oppose and, as the nearly invisible blades of energy around her jade-like hands cut towards his face, the only vision of the future he could see was his own death...

"AUDACIOUS! WHO COMES INTO THE FEN CLAN AND ACTS SO BRAZEN!? YOU ARE SEEKING DEATH!"

Hearing these thunderous words, which seemed to cut through the void and cause the very heavens to tremble, Fen Hanying couldn't help but smile. He recognized the voice as the one belonging to the Fen Clan Patriarch, Fen Xinyi, the strongest man in their entire Clan. With his arrival, Fen Hanying believed that the Heavens still had eyes, as they had left him a path towards the future. Thus, with a smile on his face, Fen Hanying greeted death while thoughts of his inevitable rise to fame and glory spread through his delusional mind...
