Chapter 59: Punishment of Heaven

“Father, why did you hit me? She’s talking complete nonsense.”

Thanks to Feng Kui’s slap, Feng Yunying’s face was now completely swollen like a pig’s head.

“Fifth Princess, what a good memory. Four years ago, Baize Country attacked Huan Yun. My father refined a large number of seven-star to nine-star weapons and gave them to the army free of charge. The king even issued an imperial edict in recognition.”

Jun Mohuang laughed, her words full of sarcasm.

“But since the Fifth Princess only knows how to snatch other people’s things, of course she won’t remember such a national event.”

Not to mention Feng Yunying, even Feng Kui himself had forgotten.

After all, Jun Liyuan had been dead for three years. Furthermore, he hadn’t asked for any reward for his great merit.

Feng Kui had been delighted, and had gone straight to issue an imperial edict without any substantial reward.

“Jun Mohuang, you’re indeed the child of a hero, so I’ll let this matter go. But you’re so bold to talk nonsense about such a punishment! Come, give Jun Mohuang 100 good beatings!”

Feng Kui’s face was gloomy because of fear that her words would suddenly come true.

The heavenly dao of Cangyuan Continent was of course not about the high and low of family background.

All the inheritance bloodlines on the mainland were varied, but there were strict levels.

Level 1 was the lowest, while level 5 was the highest.

For example, the king’s Gold-Swallowing bloodline and the bloodline of the Su Family’s Scarlet Phoenix were both level 3.

The royal Feng Family’s Huan Yun bloodline was level 4, which was higher than all families in Huan Yun.

This was the fundamental reason why the Feng Family had become the leader of Huan Yun.

High bloodline was fixed by nature, and couldn’t be improved by taking heavenly auras or earth treasures.

However, the family’s bloodline had inexplicably dropped in quality. Everyone thought it was a punishment from heaven, so Feng Kui was extremely afraid of these words.

When Feng Yunying laughed unscrupulously about the heavenly punishment, he slapped her without hesitation.

Someone with a level 4 bloodline couldn’t be called an emperor. He could never be an emperor in his lifetime, and could only call himself a king.

If he was unlucky and his bloodline level dropped, he wouldn’t even be able to keep this position.

Feng Yunying was ignorant about such things.

“Exactly. 100 beatings isn’t enough. At least 200 need to be done… Ah, it hurts!”

Before she finished her words, she suddenly screamed, and was bitten badly on the leg by something.

Pulling aside her skirt, she saw several palm-sized scorpions crawling on her calf.

The tail of one of the scorpions was piercing into her tender flesh, causing bright red blood to ooze out of her calf.

Feng Yunying let out a bloodcurdling scream. “Father, help!”

Feng Kui immediately recognized it was a Mystic Black Scorpion. It had five poisons, and the whole limb would swell and hurt for a dozen of days if bitten.

“Men, get rid of the scorpion!”

Feng Kui panicked, and quickly called his guards.

A few palace men shuddered before coming forward to remove the Mystic Black Scorpions. Cockroaches and other crustaceans kept crawling from the corner of the hall towards Feng Yunying’s feet.

They climbed in along the hem of her skirt, and crawled willfully on her delicate body.

The tiny legs of the insects itched insanely on her skin.

Regardless of the presence of men, Feng Yunying tore off her clothes, and began patting the bugs on her body.
