Chapter 128: The True Heiress Who Is Not Loved

East Sea City is located in the eastern region of the Eastern Wilderness, near the sea. After seven days of flying, Chu Feng and his four companions arrived at their destination.

Although East Sea City sits by the ocean, it is a hub for cultivators. Within its walls, power is shared among five major families of the Nascent Soul stage, all of whom operate under the backing of the Yaoguang Holy Land, one of the two great sacred grounds. The city is rich in resources and abundant in produce, housing the East Sea Marketplace, one of the three largest trading hubs in the Eastern Wilderness.

The group of five decided to stay in East Sea City for a few days. On the way, Chen Wanwan teased, "Sister An, why don't you reveal your identity once we enter the city? Let's see if these five families will treat us as honored guests."

An Miaoyi replied coldly, "That is unnecessary."

For her, being forcibly taken by Chu Feng was already a profound humiliation. Moreover, having lost her innocence to him—and even harboring a budding affection—made her feel unworthy of facing the Yaoguang Holy Land or her mother, the Master of the Yaoguang Holy Land. Seeing An Miaoyi’s expression, Chen Wanwan laughed even more brazenly.

[Ding! A Daughter of Destiny, Su Ningxue, has been detected. She is in mortal danger. Does the host wish to intervene?]

The system chime rang just as they reached the outskirts of East Sea City. Chu Feng was slightly taken aback, then felt a surge of joy. Another Daughter of Destiny. However, he already had too many women around him. Should he continue to conquer them? Maybe he should just kill her instead. Yes, that was decided. Regardless of whether she was a peerless beauty or a city-toppling temptress, one word: kill.

Since the system provided an alert, the Daughter of Destiny must be nearby. Sweeping his divine sense across the area, Chu Feng realized that this girl was not at all what he had imagined.

In a forest on the outskirts of the city, a woman covered in wounds, her breath fading and her life nearing its end, was being buried alive.

"Is this woman supposed to be a Daughter of Destiny?" Chu Feng remarked.

[Congratulations to the host for locating the Daughter of Destiny, Su Ningxue. Su Ningxue was originally the legitimate daughter of the Su family, one of the five major Nascent Soul families in East Sea City. However, she was swapped at birth and grew up as the daughter of a butcher. It was not until she was eighteen, during the Su family’s coming-of-age ceremony and bloodline verification, that it was discovered the girl they had raised possessed no Su family bloodline.]

[The Su family eventually found her, but while the foster daughter lacked their bloodline, she was exceptionally talented and had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining by age eighteen. Conversely, Su Ningxue had been abused since childhood and had never embarked on the path of cultivation. Her foundation was destroyed by years of hardship, leaving her future bleak. Even after being brought back to the Su family, she was treated with contempt and disdain by everyone—unloved by her elders, ignored by her father, and humiliated by the very servants.]

[The foster daughter, Su Wanqiu, repeatedly framed her. Desperate to maintain her status and connection to the family, Su Wanqiu extracted Su Ningxue's bone marrow and blood. With Su Ningxue now on the brink of death, Su Wanqiu refused to let her live, ordering her to be buried alive to eliminate the threat and cement her own status as the legitimate daughter.]

[Throughout this entire ordeal, Su Ningxue’s parents and eldest brother remained indifferent, severing all family ties. Before dying, Su Ningxue passed away with regret and resentment, praying that if heaven gave her another chance, she would never again cling to this false family, but instead walk her own path, dead or alive, never crossing theirs again.]

[Now that the host has appeared, rebirth is impossible, but the host can help Su Ningxue exact her revenge, which will yield extraordinary rewards.]

"Fine, completing the mission is enough," Chu Feng thought.

Truth be told, Su Ningxue was quite beautiful. And she was a Daughter of Destiny.

[Daughter of Destiny: Su Ningxue]
[Age: 21]
[Cultivation: None]
[Luck Points: 880,000]
[Aptitude: Originally possessed the constitution of a King, now crippled and reduced to a useless state.]

"Bad news. If I don't act now, she'll really be buried." In this short time, the dirt had already covered the back of her head.

Chu Feng immediately said, "I'm going to save someone. Wait here."

With that, he vanished from the flying vessel and appeared before the woman being buried. The two servants burying Su Ningxue were stunned by his sudden appearance, their faces quickly twisting into a rage.

"Who the hell are you? You saw us—what do we do?"
"Let's just kill him too."
"Good idea."

The two men swung their shovels at Chu Feng. Chu Feng snorted, not even moving. Suddenly, flames erupted from the two men, consuming them. Their screams of agony lasted for over a minute before they fell silent, reduced to ash.

The buried Su Ningxue had heard the commotion. However, with her eyes blindfolded, her mouth gagged, and her limbs bound, she could only shiver in terror.

It was not until Chu Feng released her bindings that she crawled up and knelt before him. "Thank you, my lord, for saving my life. I, Su Ningxue, am eternally grateful."

Chu Feng nodded. "Very well, get up."

Su Ningxue remained kneeling, showing no intention of rising. At this moment, Jiang Yan, An Miaoyi, and Chen Wanwan descended from the flying vessel. They glanced at Su Ningxue and said, "Husband, have you found yourself another little beauty?"

Chu Feng shook his head. "Don't talk nonsense. I just saw she was pathetic, saved her life, and decided to give her a hand."

He relayed the information provided by the system to the women, who nodded, agreeing, "That is indeed quite tragic."

Su Ningxue, standing to the side, was stunned and bewildered. She stammered, "My lord, how could you know my situation?"

Chu Feng replied, "Are you wondering if I was sent by your parents or that scheming sister of yours? Rest assured, they don't have the qualifications to command me."

"Su Ningxue, it was merely a coincidence that I happened to be here. Since we met, it is fate. I can help you—I will wipe out your parents' family and that scheming girl for you."

Killing was Chu Feng's goal this time. It would both grant him Luck Points and complete his mission.

Su Ningxue was startled by the killing intent radiating from Chu Feng. She shook her head and said, "My lord, I wish to take this revenge myself. I only beg that you help me embark on the path of cultivation; I would be forever in your debt."

Chu Feng snorted. "I do not need your permission to do what I intend to do."

This statement turned Su Ningxue pale with fear, and she quickly cried out, "I was wrong, my lord, please spare me."

Chu Feng waved his hand. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I can help you. Your body was ruined, and you were reduced to a cripple with no hope of cultivation—that is true for others, but for me, it is an effortless matter. I will help you."

As he spoke, Chu Feng waved his hand. Su Ningxue’s injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, even restoring her ruined body and her crippled aptitude.
