Chapter 33: On A Date!
"This brother of mine finally grew some conscience!"
Feng Yun said.
For the past few days, he had been driven hard and had to work tirelessly to produce Rank-2 Pills.
Though he voiced his complaints, they were only surface-level; in his heart, he was genuinely happy to be helping his brother, who had always worked hard to help the clan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nonetheless, he was really excited today as he was finally rich and had a day off to spend his money.
He has earned quite a lot of money from the profit made by the pills. 50% of the profit made from his pills was given to him.
Although he declined at first because he felt it was his responsibility as a Feng Clan member, elders insisted that it was what he deserved.
He also said that Clan's profit from other sectors has also increased due to his pills, so he shouldn't hesitate to accept this money.
In total, he already has more than 50,000 Gold Coins in his storage ring.
This was more than what a second-rated clan would earn in a year, showing just how profitable it was to be an Alchemist though it was equally difficult to be one.
"Hehe! Brother Yun, you've worked hard!"
Feng Mei said, holding onto Feng Yun's arm.
Today, Feng Mei was especially cheerful. For days, she had controlled herself, not wanting to disturb Feng Yun while he was working so diligently.
She knew how important his role was to the clan's recent success and didn't want to be a distraction, despite missing him dearly.
"Finally, I have you all to myself," Feng Mei said with a playful smile, her eyes sparkling with happiness as she clung to Feng Yun's arm.
Feng Yun chuckled softly, a warm smile spreading across his face.
As they strolled through the bustling streets of Misty Vale City, Feng Yun and Feng Mei enjoyed the lively atmosphere around them.
The market was filled with colorful stalls selling everything from exotic spices to fine silks, and the air was rich with the scents of freshly cooked street food.
Feng Mei was delighted to explore the various stalls, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
Feng Yun, seeing her excitement, couldn't help but smile. He felt a sense of contentment just being by her side.
As they passed by a jeweler's stall, Feng Yun noticed a beautiful necklace displayed prominently at the front.
It was a delicate piece with a small, intricately carved jade pendant that seemed to glow in the sunlight. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and it immediately caught his eye.
Feng Yun gently pulled Feng Mei towards the stall. "Wait here for a moment," he said with a grin, stepping up to the jeweler.
"Good day, sir! That necklace there, how much for it?"
Feng Yun asked, pointing to the jade pendant.
The jeweler, an elderly man with a keen eye for business, smiled warmly.
"Ah, you have good taste, young master. This is a special piece, made from the finest jade. For you, I'll offer a fair price."
After a bit of haggling, Feng Yun finally purchased the necklace and returned to Feng Mei with a twinkle in his eye.
"Here, Mei'er, I got something for you."
Feng Mei looked at him, surprised.
"What? For me?"
Feng Yun nodded, holding out the necklace.
"I thought it would look beautiful on you."
Feng Mei blushed, touched by the gesture.
"It's beautiful, Brother Yun. Thank you!"
She took the necklace and, with a shy smile, asked, "Can you help me put it on?"
Feng Yun nodded, gently taking the necklace and placing it around her neck.
As he fastened the clasp, his fingers lightly brushed against her skin, causing Feng Mei to shiver slightly.
Once the necklace was in place, she turned to face him, her face glowing with happiness.
"How does it look?" she asked, her voice soft.
Feng Yun gazed at her, captivated.
"Beautiful!"
Feng Mei blushed, lowering her eyes shyly as a beautiful smile spread across her face. They continued their leisurely stroll through the market, with Feng Mei occasionally touching the necklace, a constant reminder of Feng Yun's thoughtful gift.
As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden hue over the city, Feng Yun suggested they start heading back to the Feng Clan estate.
Feng Mei agreed, and they made their way down a quieter street, away from the bustling main market.
But as they turned a corner, Feng Yun's instincts suddenly flared. He stopped in his tracks, pulling Feng Mei behind him protectively.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, noting the unnatural silence and the slight rustling of
leaves above.
"Brother Yun, what's wrong?"
Feng Mei whispered, sensing his tension.
Before Feng Yun could answer, several figures emerged from the shadows, surrounding
them.
Each one was clad in dark robes, their faces hidden beneath hoods. The air around them crackled with menacing energy, and Feng Yun immediately recognized the hostile intent in
their eyes.
"An ambush!"
Feng Yun muttered under his breath, his expression hardening.
(It looks like they are all in the Core Formation Stage!)
Feng Yun knew from the strength of these men that it wasn't some simple robbery and that
they had planned this.
The leader of the ambushers stepped forward, a sneer visible under his hood.
"If you don't want to die painfully, I suggest you don't struggle!"
Feng Yun knew instantly that these men had to be from the Yan Clan. No other group in Great
Yan City would dare to ambush members of the Feng Clan in broad daylight.
Feng Yun's eyes narrowed, his expression becoming icy as he stared down the hooded figures.
"I should have expected this from the Yan Clan."
Feng Yun said, his voice dripping with disdain.
"Only they would be so desperate to try something like this."
The leader of the ambushers smirked at Feng Yun's words but didn't deny it.
"It doesn't matter who we are," the leader said with a menacing tone.
"All that matters is that you're going to die today!"
Feng Yun's grip on Feng Mei tightened as he positioned her protectively behind him. He knew
they were outnumbered and that their attackers were strong.
(It looks like Yan Clan has already found out that I am a second-grade alchemist. If so, their
target should be me!)
"Mei, if you get the chance, run immediately towards the Clan." Feng Yun instructed, his
voice calm but firm.
"I'll stall them!"
