Spirit Vessel Chapter 1065: Young Soul

Chapter 1065: Young Soul
Supreme started to not reject Feng Feiyun as much. She sat near him and asked: “You kept on bringing up this Hongyan person. I am Supreme, not Hongyan.”
“She looks a lot like you.” He paused for a moment before answering.
“Where is she now?” She had a kingdom-toppling appearance but also the personality of a child, feeling rather interested in his story.
He pointed at his heart. She was confused momentarily before touching his heart with her illusory hand.
She looked up, still feeling lost.
“Right here.” He said.
“She’s pretty hot.” She pulled back and touched her ear with that hand after having touched his heart bone.
The bone of a phoenix was sacred and burned other beings such as spirits and ghosts. She was a fiend at the moment.
“Come, I’ll take you out of here.” he took out a fist-sized spirit stone and carved it into a doll looking just like Supreme. It looked animated and beautiful like the real thing.
She then flew into the doll afterward. Her voice came from within: “Will you help me gather incense and followers?”
“You tell me.” He held the doll as if it was his most treasured possession.
“Since I look so much like your Hongyan, you probably won’t watch me starve to death. Without incense and followers, I will become more ethereal and disperse one day. However, with enough, I shall become more corporeal and eventually obtain a divine physique, you’ll help me, right?” She said.
“That’s a godfiend for you, so crafty already at a young age.” He put the doll in his waist pocket and started stretching.
“Not at all, I’m merely telling the truth. Faith is to us what spirit energy is to cultivators. Gods like us will grow weaker and die when people stop believing.”
“Yes, little god, I will help you gather more as your messenger. I’ll spread your divinity and teachings to all the seas and horizons.”
“Good, kneel in front of your goddess then.”
“... I’m afraid to say that such a heroic man such as myself will not kneel before a little god like you.”
“See! I knew you weren’t a devout follower. True followers view this as an honor. I require that level of devotion to absorb their belief. Kneel already, one more follower, a bit more power.” She insisted.
“I don’t want to be your follower anymore.”
“Unacceptable.”
“Well, what’s in it for me?”
She pondered for a bit before responding: “I can protect you… I will grant you my blessing and no one will bully you later.”
“A pure god will never lie, only evil ones.” He said.
“... You’re right, I was wrong. I can’t bless you at all but when I’m stronger later, I can protect you then.”
“That sounds better.” Feiyun smiled and opened the cell to leave.
The captain of the sacred guard came over and lowered his head to ask: “Sir Feng, what of the traitor?”
“I’ve reduced her to ashes.” Feiyun tidied his robe and coldly uttered.
The captain glanced at the cell and saw a pile of ashes with the aura of the traitor.
‘So brutal!’ He felt more respect for Feiyun, not showing mercy to the beauty at all. No wonder why he was the new star of Heaven Restoration.
“Sir, we have a few gifts for you.” He had a strange smile and waved his hand.
Guards immediately brought over three pretty girls.
Their dress has been taken off, only white undergarments made of silk covered their slender figure. It didn’t do a sufficient job.
They were young and gorgeous with a hint of nobility. They were different from female cultivators who were fixated on training.
“Kneel already.” The captain demanded.
They had many wounds and seemed to be afraid of him. They kneeled in front of Feiyun while trembling with fear.
The captain smiled and said: “They are as pretty as it gets from the royal clan. That one to the left is Sacred Lord’s favorite princess, she’s fourteen. The one on the right is considered the prettiest of the clan, a regional princess with a bestowed title. And the one in the center, keke, that’s a newly-selected consort. What do you think, Sir Feng?”
Feiyun stared at the three and they were certainly gorgeous. These nobles were now no different from prostitutes. No, they were even more helpless.
He smiled and said: “Quite bold of you.”
“Haha, they are all considered traitors now, Sir. Many prisoners tonight probably had nothing to do with the mess but still got captured. Servants like us don’t dare to touch the princesses and consorts, we have to teach them first before handing them to the domain lords and important officials. This has been the case every time and I guarantee you that these three are the prettiest prisoners tonight. I saw them and immediately thought of you.” The captain smirked.
In reality, he desired the three girls but knew his position. A captain like him couldn’t touch them without facing certain consequences.
Feiyun stroked his chin and stared at the three women. They were noble so their skin was fairer than ordinary girls, looking as if they came from a painting.
“Not bad at all, Captain. You know how to make others happy.” Feiyun patted the captain’s shoulder.
The latter smiled and said: “This isn’t a big deal at all. If it wasn’t for the oath banquet tomorrow, I can bring you that lord’s favorite, Snow Consort too. She won’t dare refuse to serve you for a night.”
“Good, there will be a chance in the future, my new brother.” Feiyun had an idea so he said this line.
If this captain could bring him Snow Consort, would he be able to bring him the Sacred Lord as well?
He felt that he should try to get closer to this “thoughtful” captain.
The captain was elated from being shown so much love. He got down on one knee and smiled: “Sir, you are the territory lord’s trusted official, please don’t address me as brother. As for that Snow Consort, if you really want to grant her your favor, I can bring her here tomorrow night and you can do as you please.”
“Very well, I will remember this and put in a good word for you in front of Elder Ge and the territory lord.” Feiyun laughed heartily.
The captain started laughing as well.
Feiyun didn’t refuse the three women and took them with him. After all, not doing so might make the captain, Xiao Bailang, suspicious. Plus, he wasn’t one to refuse beauties handed to him on a platter.
Since he accepted the bribery, they became partners henceforth. It made Feiyun antagonistic toward the royal clan and more loyal to Azure Territory Lord.
Moreover, if he didn’t take them with him, their fate wouldn’t have been much better. Other experts would turn them into sex slaves. After they were finished, they would gift them to their underlings and servants. Eventually, this would end with them being sent to brothels for thousands to ride.
This was just the reality of the situation. Falling into Feiyun’s hand was actually the best outcome for them. At the very least, he wasn’t old and ugly.
When he left the prison, it was already dawn with red rays coming from the horizon. The air was still cold.
Meanwhile, the palace was filled with servants preparing meals and wines for the incoming banquet.
The chairs and tables were prepared last night. Each seat had a plaque with a name on it, just waiting for the guests to come.
