Chapter 52 She Doesn't Want Her Scumbag Ex-Husband Anymore 12
The four of them went together to the place where Ji Huadan used to live. At this moment, Ji Huadan suddenly seemed to sense something. She looked towards Fenghua Palace and went inside.
After dismissing all the palace servants, she carefully took out an object wrapped in black cloth from a hidden compartment in the carved paulownia wood bed in her bedroom.
At this moment, the Phoenix King and his entourage had arrived at the palace where Ji Huadan had previously resided.
Feng Cangwu and Feng Wang scanned every inch of land with their divine senses, but found nothing.
"There's nothing there. It seems we wronged Hua Dan."
Phoenix King breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that his niece would do something so heinous.
My brother only has one daughter, so if she really did it, she will definitely be severely punished.
Ji Xiaosong, however, felt it wasn't that simple. She walked around the entire palace and in the central courtyard, she saw a dark, black sycamore tree that looked as if it had been struck by lightning.
"Father, why is there a dead tree in Ji Huadan's courtyard?"
“This tree was planted by her father himself. On the day her parents died, the tree was struck by lightning. Hua Dan said that she would keep it as a memento, so she has never touched it.”
Speaking of Ji Huadan's parents, Ji Xiaosong extracted some memories from the original owner's memories. She only remembered that they died resisting the demon race, when Ji Huadan was almost a thousand years old.
In the Phoenix Clan, one thousand years is considered adulthood, so Ji Huadan lost her parents before she was an adult, which caused a drastic change in her personality.
Feng Cangwu touched the tree trunk, his face solemn.
"There is the aura of the demon race here, but I don't know if it's because of the lightning strike. If it weren't for someone with my level of cultivation, I wouldn't be able to detect it at all."
The Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen absolutely believed what Feng Cangwu said.
He is the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, and no one cares more about the safety of the Phoenix Clan than him.
The prosperity of the Phoenix Clan was one of his missions in life.
Every clan has such an ancestor, and for the Phoenix Clan, it is Feng Cangwu.
"My lord, Hua Dan... she wouldn't really have an affair with the demons, would she?" the Phoenix Queen asked the Phoenix King uncertainly.
Phoenix King gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Bring her here, and we'll know the answer soon enough."
However, Feng Cangwu rejected this idea.
“Even if we bring her here, it will be difficult to know the truth for the time being. Just like when we call that blood-covered tribeswoman to testify, as long as she insists on denying it, we have no way to convict her.”
Ji Xiaosong was somewhat indignant: "Are we just going to let her continue to do such evil deeds? She's now married into the Xu family, and I don't think the Xu family is any good family either. A red phoenix and an orange phoenix actually gave birth to a yellow phoenix, which is unprecedented in the phoenix clan."
Phoenix King frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In your opinion, what should be done about this? We can't just leave it unattended."
Looking at the dead tree before him, Feng Cangwu said calmly, "We need to plan this carefully and find more evidence. Since this tree has the aura of the demon race, we might as well start from here and investigate whether there are any hidden secrets about what happened back then."
Ji Xiaosong chimed in, "I think my husband is right. Maybe we can find clues from the cause of death of Ji Huadan's parents."
Empress Feng said worriedly, "But if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause turmoil within the clan."
"For the sake of the Phoenix Clan's peace, even if there are risks, we must investigate thoroughly. Back then, my younger brother and sister-in-law had already escaped unscathed while fighting against the demons on the front lines, but Hua Dan was taken hostage by a high-ranking demon. In order to save her, the two fell into a demon trap and died. After that, Hua Dan was traumatized and lost all her previous memories."
Upon hearing Feng Wang's words, Ji Xiaosong became even more puzzled.
"Is Ji Huadan now the same Ji Huadan as before?"
"of course."
Phoenix King looked at Ji Xiaosong and continued, "We Phoenix Clan members, especially those connected by blood, can sense whether the other person has been possessed. If it is not the original person, we can quickly recognize it."
These words made Ji Xiaosong inwardly complain. If this method really worked, how could the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen not recognize that she was not the original body?
However, she couldn't say anything, but she had more guesses about Ji Huadan.
Having come all this way and finding nothing, the group had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, Feng Cangwu left a trace of his divine consciousness on that dead tree.
This divine sense was subdivided to an imperceptible degree, so that no one with a lower cultivation level would be able to detect it.
Back in her palace, Ji Xiaosong was still somewhat sullen.
But seeing her daughter sleeping soundly in the nest made of sycamore leaves, her mood calmed down considerably.
"Song'er, don't think about those pointless things anymore. Leave them to me, I'll handle them."
Feng Cangwu pulled Ji Xiaosong into his arms. Thanks to proper care during her pregnancy, her body had fully recovered, and she could easily conceive another egg.
"Of course I trust my husband, but we have to hurry, because I don't want any innocent people to lose their lives."
"When I went to Ji Huadan's side today, I left a divine sense imprint. If Ji Huadan has any murderous intent again, I will sense it immediately."
Feng Cangwu gazed at Ji Xiaosong with deep affection and tenderness in his eyes. He slowly leaned closer and whispered, "Song'er, don't worry, trust your husband."
Just as Ji Xiaosong was about to speak, Feng Cangwu gently pressed his finger against her lips and said, "Don't overthink it, okay?"
The "Hmm?" made Ji Xiaosong's heart tremble. Even though she had heard it many times, she was still drawn to it.
Seeing that Ji Xiaosong was still frowning, Feng Cangwu could no longer restrain himself and pulled her into his arms, lowering his head to seal her lips with his.
After a long while, Feng Cangwu released Ji Xiaosong, looked at her slightly flushed cheeks and dazed eyes, and smiled: "Now, you can't think about anything else."
"Um……"
Feng Cangwu looked at his daughter, who was sleeping soundly, and then cast a barrier around her.
Then, he picked up Ji Xiaosong and flew to the Wutong Forest of Songyu Palace.
“Song’er, tonight, this place is just right.”
Ji Xiaosong blushed instantly as she watched Feng Cangwu's clothes gradually fall off.
"This this……"
Before the rest of the words could be spoken, they disappeared into the whistling of the wind.
……
On the other side.
The wind whistled through the Xu residence all night long, its sound lingering around the beams.
One was plotting a grand scheme, while the other was hoping to seize this opportunity to avenge his previous defeat.
For a whole month, Ji Huadan had no interest in doing anything else.
She and Xu Yang both had only one goal: to have a high-ranking offspring as soon as possible.
Under the care of her family, Feng Fanyin has already taken human form and can speak.
Although she looks like a one-year-old baby, her charming and adorable figure is so captivating that anyone who sees her can't help but smile.
She hasn't forgotten how she was almost corrupted by demonic energy when she was still an egg. She hasn't seen that person for a month, but that doesn't mean she's forgotten.
When Feng Fanyin sees that person again, she vows to tear him to pieces!
Every demon is her sworn enemy!
She thought such an opportunity would be hard to come by, but a month later, a palace attendant reported that Ji Huadan was pregnant again. This time, unlike before, she was carrying twins.
To avoid a repeat of the previous family banquet that ended in discord, the Phoenix King invited them to the Phoenix Flower Palace.
