The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife

“Maiden Feng, please consider my offer just now. If you accept it, I will pass down all the skills to you. On the contrary, my father will never force me to act against my will.” Fu Qingjiu smiled faintly.

“What did you just say?” Again, Feng Ruqing was lost in thought. Hearing Fu Qingjiu’s voice, she slowly regained her focus and asked dazedly.

Fu Qingjiu had always thought that she had a good upbringing. However, she had nearly forgotten her manners in front of Feng Ruqing. Her smile was slightly faded and her face took on a ghastly expression.

‘She is doing it on purpose!’

“Maiden Feng, it’s late. I will get the servant to prepare a chamber for you. However, I would like to advise you not to simply walk around the palace. None of the consorts in the harem is as kind as me. If Maiden Feng messes with them, I will not be able to save you.” A gentle smile dawned on Fu Qingjiu’s face.

Fu Qingjiu took a glimpse at Feng Ruqing before leaving. She would rather spend more time with the young master than wasting time with a lady.

Only when Fu Qingjiu lost in distance, Feng Ruqing’s face darkened and asked Fu Chen telepathically, “Fu Chen, have you found Nan Xian?”

Currently, it was peacefully silent in the medium.

Only after a long while did Fu Chen responded.

“Mother, I have scanned the whole palace just now. Father is nowhere to be found. However…” Fu Chen’s youthful voice paused for a while before he continued, “There is a strange place within a palace located not far from here.”

“Strange place?”

“That’s right, there is a torch of flame there. It’s too scorching hot that my mental power was not capable of breaking through. I have no idea if Father is there.”

Feng Ruqing’s eyes lit up.

“Get Xiao Qing to come back now. I will get Xiao Qing to check it out. I can only make a decision after I have confirmed Nan Xian’s location.”

“Alright, Mother.” Fu Chen’s voice was too cordial and lovely.

Atop a lush green meadow in the medium.

Fu Chen cut off the telepathic connection. Currently, Feng Ruqing could never hear anything that Fu Chen and Qing Han said.

“Brother Fuchen, are we really not going to tell Mother about that now?” Qing Han bit her rosy red bottom lip as she gazed at Fu Chen with tearful eyes.

“Ever since we reached here, I could feel that thing calling out to me. It is extremely close to us. Why don’t you let me tell Mother?”

“Qing Han, you have grown up and must be more sensible. We could look for that thing that was calling out to you anytime but now.” Fu Chen stroked Qing Han’s head.

The teenage boy took on a rare, solemn expression, just like a young adult’s.

“Mother is utterly exhausted because of Father. We must not add to her burden. We can tell her after we have found Father…”

“Alright.” Qing Han pouted. It seemed that with every inch she got nearer to Haitian Kingdom, the clearer and louder the voice calling out to her, constantly urging her to eat it. Moreover, Qing Han was hungry…

Qing Han let out a sigh. She plucked a wild spirit herb beside her, took a bite as it made a crisp sound. It was so juicy and sweet. However, she could not disregard the voice that kept calling out to her…
