Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 147 - 149: A Punch, Shattering the Chains - Feng Bailing

Chapter 147: Chapter 149: A Punch, Shattering the Chains - Feng Bailing

The Purple Gold Giant Dragon truly feared that Feng Bailing would drown, so it plunged into the water as well. Just as it entered the water, Feng Bailing, holding her breath and sinking, seized the opportunity to embrace the Purple Gold Giant Dragon. She was like a mudfish, slipping and climbing onto the head of the Purple Gold Giant Dragon.

She concentrated the Pure Yang Qi in her fist and smashed it down onto the head of the Purple Gold Giant Dragon.

"Take that for bullying people!"

Bang bang bang—

As her fist struck, the Purple Gold Giant Dragon let out a dragon’s roar. Feng Bailing only felt a buzzing in her eardrums, and as her punch went awry, it landed perfectly on the golden chain on the dragon’s head.

Instantly, sparks flew, and a cracking noise was heard. One of the golden chains had split apart.

Both Feng Bailing and the Purple Gold Giant Dragon were startled.

Last time, there were just cracks, but this time, a golden chain was actually broken?

Feng Bailing couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at her fist. She realized that the Pure Yang Qi within her body had grown much stronger.

Was it because of the Water Holy Seal?

Above the water, Dugu Wu stuck his head out. Seeing that Feng Bailing was unharmed, his expression eased slightly, and he pointed towards the well not far behind him.

"Qi Village has encountered disaster; the children are in danger."

Now that the children were safe, the matter of Qi Village still needed to be resolved.

Feng Bailing’s words tugged at the hearts of everyone present.

"There’s been a flood in the village."

The village chief and a group of villagers had survived the disaster, wearing distressed expressions.

No one knew what had happened, but the well and streams that had been dry for years suddenly overflowed with water. The torrents were fierce, like wolves and tigers, flooding houses, rivers, and fields.

The village consisted of earthen houses; in less than half an hour, the water level had risen above the waist of these houses. Even if the water receded, the houses would no longer be inhabitable.

Qi Village, already impoverished, was now faced with added calamity.

Nalan Yan’er and Xiao Junci, however, were internally exhilarated. They didn’t care about the life and death of the villagers.

What was clear to them was that the flooding in Qi Village must be related to the Spiritual Spring.

Xiao Junci had known about the Spiritual Spring three years ago.

Three years prior, his spies discovered something extraordinary in Qi Village, Great Chu. To prevent the discovery of the Spiritual Spring, Xiao Junci had sent a Magician to enter the ancient well.

That Magician used blood to form a seal, and sealed the Spiritual Spring.

But who would have thought that, at the time of sealing the Spiritual Spring, the air underground suddenly vanished, and the Magician failed to escape.

Over these years, Xiao Junci had always been looking for an opportunity to personally enter Great Chu and seize the Spiritual Spring, but Dugu Wu was in the way, and he found no chance to enter Chu.

Until half a month ago, when Dugu Wu was poisoned and rumors spread that he’d become a cripple, Xiao Junci, eager to confront the Feng mother and daughter, secretly entered Great Chu under the guise of a Beiqi envoy.

Seeing Dugu Wu’s legs, Xiao Junci couldn’t help but want to curse.

A cursed cripple, who’s ever seen a cripple be so arrogant and shameless in hitting people?

Still, Xiao Junci was someone who had been through the wringer, and he had been injured. Moreover, there was that mysterious man in red present.

After Dugu Wu appeared, the man in red did not make a move, observing the fight from a distance.

"Princess Feng, you truly are worthy of being a descendant of the Beiqi Ancestor, extraordinarily intelligent. Indeed, I’ve come for Qi Village. The feng shui here is not bad; I’d like to buy it."

Xiao Junci’s plain face spread into a smile, tinged with a dashing air.

"Princess Feng, the Grandmaster Mansion is interested in purchasing Qi Village."

Nalan Yan’er also came back to her senses. Despite her jealousy, the Spiritual Spring was important. The Spiritual Spring was essential to extend her grandfather’s life and to allow Jinjin to congeal the Wenhua Seal.

Xiao Junci had set his sights on the Spiritual Spring and even brought up his connection to the Beiqi Ancestor and Feng Bailing. How could Nalan Yan’er not see through his intentions?

Both parties began to speak at the same time.

Dugu Wu furrowed his brows. These two wanted to buy Qi Village, undoubtedly for the Water Holy Seal.

But the Holy Seal had disappeared.

Dugu Wu glanced at Feng Bailing.

He always felt that the missing Water Holy Seal was related to Feng Bailing... But with her meager abilities, how could she possibly subdue the Water Holy Seal? Could it be that there is really someone behind her?

The same confusion troubled Xiao Junci as well.

How did Dugu Wu become so strong?

The two were originally well-matched in strength, but this time, Dugu Wu’s power had clearly increased. Thinking of his intention to marry Feng Bailing, could it be... because of the high-ranking expert behind Feng Bailing?

With this thought, Xiao Junci’s determination to seize the Spiritual Spring was even more steadfast.

The Spiritual Spring could likely strengthen his body and elevate his Cultivation to the next level.

"At this point, Qi Village can only be sold."

Feng Bailing sighed.

Dugu Wu glanced at Feng Bailing, and although her expression was obscured by a veil, Dugu Wu was certain that Feng Bailing was up to some trickery again.

At this moment, the village chief and the villagers also knew that Feng Bailing was the daughter of a Princess. Upon learning that she intended to sell Qi Village, both the village chief and the villagers wore faces of sorrow.

Qi Village might be poor and stricken by disaster, but it was their homeland.

Without their homeland, they would become refugees, barely distinguishable from beggars.

But what could they say? After all, they were just subjects of the Princess. If the Grandmaster Mansion was willing to buy them, they would become the farming tenants of the Grandmaster Mansion, their fates controlled by others, like cattle and sheep.

"I heard the Grandmaster Mansion is willing to buy Qi Village, offering one thousand taels of gold?"

No sooner had Feng Bailing finished speaking than Nalan Yan’er’s face lit up with joy.

"That’s right, we’re only selling the land of Qi Village. We do not want the villagers, for one thousand gold taels."

"I, too, am willing to offer one thousand gold taels to buy only the land of Qi Village."

Xiao Junci had plenty of money.

"Xiao Junci, you are a person of Beiqi, how can you buy land that is the fief of Great Chu?"

Nalan Yan’er’s eyes widened with anger.

"Crown Princess Consort, this land belongs to the Princess’ Mansion, and the Law of Great Chu does not stipulate that land cannot be sold to foreign nationals. If you disagree, we can take this matter to Emperor Yongye for discussion."

Xiao Junci said with a light chuckle.

Nalan Yan’er was at a loss for words.

How could she dare tell Emperor Yongye? If Emperor Yongye knew, and found out that the Grandmaster Mansion had discovered the Spiritual Spring without reporting it, he would surely suspect the Grandmaster Mansion.

"Feng Bailing, the Grandmaster Mansion is willing to pay 1,500 gold taels to buy Qi Village."

Nalan Yan’er gritted her teeth and added another five hundred taels.

"Princess Feng, I am willing to pay 2,000 taels to buy Qi Village."

A bidding war?

Xiao Junci was never afraid of one.

Nalan Yan’er’s face darkened; her grandfather had only agreed to buy Qi Village for one thousand taels. The additional 1,500 taels were her own doing for personal reasons, and those five hundred taels would have to be supplied by the Crown Prince Mansion.

She was merely the Crown Princess Consort. With the Crown Prince in a coma, she had been managing the household affairs alone for years, and acquiring another one thousand taels was not something she could just take out at will. "I do have an idea, though. If the Crown Princess Consort is willing to use the land owned by the Grandmaster Mansion, particularly the plot adjacent to Qi Village... in exchange..."

Feng Bailing pretended to struggle with the idea before she finally suggested.

"Of course, I am willing."

Nalan Yan’er replied with great joy.

The Grandmaster Mansion had several pieces of land, and while this one was fertile and spacious, it could only be used for farming, which was nothing compared to the Spiritual Spring, truly insignificant and not worth 2,000 taels at all.

No wonder Feng Sanwu was once expelled from Yuxiu Academy; to exchange land for 2,000 taels, her ability at accounting was just too poor.

"Miss Feng, I am willing to offer 3,000 gold taels."

Xiao Junci, in a moment of urgency, added another one thousand gold taels.

Who should it be sold to, in the end?
