My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 690: Mediocre

The atmosphere in the hall was quite harmonious. As a princess and a practitioner of the Literature Saint Dao Lineage, Anya naturally spoke with grace and could hold her own in any situation.

While displaying her knowledge, she also assessed Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan. In her heart, she couldn’t help but sigh, they were truly an exceptional woman in this world.

Their cultivation talent was astounding, not to mention their beauty that could captivate nations.

Of course, she wasn’t worried about this.

She could slowly catch up in her cultivation. After all, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower had told her that her talent in the Literature Saint Lineage was also rare in the world. It was just that she hadn’t focused on it before.

Now that the Emperor had completely handed over the business of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion to her elder brother, in the past six months, she had continuously climbed two ranks to reach the fourth rank.

In the eyes of the world, she could also be considered outstanding!

As for her appearance, she had inherited her mother’s excellent beauty, and she could be considered an incomparable beauty. Compared to Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, she was not inferior.

But it was just her figure… that was the pain she couldn’t let go of!

Looking at the proud breasts of Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan once again, Anya’s smile seemed somewhat forced at this moment.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze, and then looked at the sword attendant Lan Ningshuang standing beside her. 

‘Is she suspicious of me?’ Anya couldn’t help but wonder.

Her gaze shifted downward, landing on Lan Ningshuang’s chest, and the darkness in her heart vanished in an instant.

It was as mediocre as hers!

At that moment, Anya felt a kinship with Lan Ningshuang. She ignored the caution in the other’s eyes and felt as if they were like old friends.

“Ningshuang, why don’t we sit together? I’d like to talk to you about a lot of things. I have a feeling that we might have many topics in common,” Anya said with a smile.

Lan Ningshuang was slightly taken aback. For some reason, she felt insulted.

Looking down at the other party’s seemingly shining eyes, Lan Ningshuang’s expression froze. 

She took a breath and replied with a smile: “Let’s talk about it later. The tea here is almost finished. I’ll go to the kitchen to make another pot.” 

Then she turned and left. 

Although she said that, she didn’t take the teapot on the table with her…

As Qin Feng approached the hall, he saw Anya dressed as a girl and having a pleasant conversation with the Second Mother. 

He was taken aback at first, then looked at the two women beside him, and blinked, as if to ask what was going on.

The Second Mother gestured for Qin Feng to sit down, then explained the situation truthfully.

“…Feng’er, in the future, you cannot treat the princess with the same casual attitude as before. You must show more respect to Her Majesty. As for His Majesty’s instructions for you to guide Her Highness in her cultivation, you’ve been neglecting it due to your own affairs. Now that you’re back in the Imperial City, when you have free time, you should spend more time at the palace.”

Qin Feng looked at Anya with a strange expression, and she looked back at him, her lips curling slightly with a hint of satisfaction.

However, she did not lose the dignified demeanor expected of a princess.

“Aunt, calling me ‘Anya’ is fine. The title ‘Your Highness’ feels a bit distant,” Anya said with a slight laugh.

“This is impossible.” Second Mother waved her hands repeatedly. 

“Qin Feng and I are close friends, and I also admire Sister Jianli and Sister Feilan. We’ve been used to interacting with each other in the past. When you call me ‘Your Highness’, I feel uncomfortable. What do you think, Aunt?”

“That makes sense… then it will be as you wish,” Second Mother replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong with Anya today, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Moreover, in the past, Anya always kept a certain distance from Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, but today, she repeatedly showed concern and asked about the condition of their unborn child, which seemed to carry a hint of excessive concern.

What does she want to do… Qin Feng thought incessantly.

After chatting in the hall for a while, Anya remembered the great battle at Zhenling Pass six months ago.

She looked at Qin Feng and asked quietly, “I’ve heard many returning soldiers mention that during the battle at Zhenling Pass, you entered the third rank and turned the tide.”

“Even the death of Candle Dragon was said to be related to you. However, when I asked many people about the details, they either didn’t know or couldn’t remember. What exactly happened that day?”

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan also looked at Qin Feng when they heard this.

The danger and brutality of that battle could be deduced from the number of surviving soldiers alone. And the power of the Candle Dragon that could affect the cycle of day and night, didn’t need any further explanation.

To be honest, if Qin An hadn’t returned and told them that Qin Feng was safe, they would definitely have gone to the Southern Domain to find out what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s first thought was to recount his glorious feat of single-handedly defeating the Candle Dragon in front of his two wives, thus creating a majestic image in their minds.

However, Master Baili’s warning from earlier was always on his mind: “The crack in the Immortal Realm has already opened, and gods and demons will inevitably descend.” 

“If they know about the existence of the Saint’s remnant soul in you, you may suffer endless misfortunes. I have already told everyone here about this, and they have sworn to keep it a secret.” 

“I’m also going to shield the Heavenly Mechanism here, which will cause some slight discrepancies in everyone’s memories. If anyone asks you about it in the future, you should answer like this…”

“Although I helped, it didn’t matter much. To protect my life, my father focefully raised his own power to the Transcendence realm and severely injured the Candle Dragon.”

“And the spear shot by Divine Guardian directly pierced the Candle Dragon’s skull, causing its death.”

“I only did what I could to ensure the safety of the soldiers and generals,” Qin Feng said before looking at the Second Mother somewhat reluctantly.

A trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

After the disaster in the Southern Domain, it was only natural that Father’s identity would be revealed.

How could Emperor Ming allow such a hero of the human race to remain unknown even after his death?

But for the Second Mother, she preferred Father to be an ordinary person who knew nothing about business.

They could have drank tea together in the lobby, bask in the sun together in the corridor, and then wait until Jianli and Feilan give birth to a child, and then share the happiness of their family. 

However, all of this disappeared with the disaster in the Southern Region… 

Seeing this, Anya realized that she had said the wrong thing and hastily said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought that up.”

The Second Mother shook her head. “It’s okay, it’s all in the past.”

Qin Feng sighed silently. How could the wounds in her heart be so easily glossed over?

In time, he changed the subject and asked Anya about the current situation of Great Qian.

Anya’s expression became serious. “After Candle Dragon’s demise, cracks appeared in the Immortal and Netherworld Realms in all four domains of the Great Qian. According to the information given to the Emperor by the Prison Department, there are a total of nine locations.”

“The Teacher used great means to seal the cracks in the Immortal Realm.”

“As for the disaster from the Netherworld Realm, it’s only appeared near Jinyang City so far, and there’s no danger anywhere else…”

“But Teacher once told me that the seal is only temporary. Entities from the Immortal Realm will inevitably find a way to break the seal. Unlike the Netherworld Realm, when an entity from the Immortal Realm descends, its power will surely reach the Transcendence Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s brow furrowed.
