The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098: Fu Qingjiu Who Has Been Mythicized I

Feng Ruqing squinted at the azure snake.
In an instant, the azure snake stopped talking, trembling with fear that Feng Ruqing might tighten her grip and strangle the azure snake to death.
Not long after, a guard who guarded the city’s gate approached them with a middle-aged man in armor.
With a majestic demeanor, the middle-aged man emanated hostility. Only when he saw Feng Ruqing, a glimmer of cunning light flashed in his eyes.
“Maiden, the emperor of Tianyue Kingdom sent you here?”
“Mhmm.”
Feng Ruqing answered calmly like still water.
Her eyes had a still, deep calmness like the distant and brilliant starry sky.
“Maiden, what kind of spirit herbs are you selling? What are the conditions set by Tianyue Kingdom in order to get these spirit herbs?” The eyes of the middle-aged man filled with glee. A cunning smile crept across his face, making him look like a fox.
“Oh, Princess Youlan of Tianyue Kingdom heard that spirit beasts have special affinity with Princess Qingjiu of Haitian Kingdom. Recently, Princess Youlan too is growing fond of spirit beasts. Hence, she has sent me here to check on this. ” Feng Ruqing stroked her chin.
“Maiden, I thought the people of Tianyue Kingdom dislike spirit beasts? Why do you want to know how to tame spirit beasts now?” A faint light sparkled in General Murong’s eyes. He asked with a spurious smile.
“It is true. However, strong forces are never enough, right? Tianyue Kingdom has never disliked spirit beasts, we are just making spirit beasts our slaves. However, things have changed now. Princess You Lan wants the spirit beasts to willingly surrender themselves to Tianyue Kingdom and the emperor has agreed to it. That is why I am here today.” Feng Ruqing grinned, she seemed to have an unreadable glint in her eyes.
Feng Ruqing was right. The people of Tianyue Kingdom had made the spirit beasts their slaves. Had Feng Ruqing not saved the spirit beasts, the entire Forest of Spirit Beasts would have been wiped out.
Hence, the people of Tianyue Kingdom must own up to the things that they had done.
“Haha!” General Murong’s face softened as he let out a boisterous laugh.
“Maiden, you are right. Forcing the spirit beasts to surrender was not a good idea. Having them surrender themselves willingly is much better. If everyone in this realm could think like this, there would surely be lesser dissensions and troubles.”
As for the saying that spirit beasts could replace humans… it was a total nonsense!
Spirit beasts were merely tools that humans used in the battle—tools that were willing to do anything for humans and would never betray them. Hence, they could never overtake humans!
Haitian Kingdom was different from the other kingdoms. The people in Haitian Kingdom treated spirit beasts well and would never scold or bully them, nor would they force spirit beasts to do something. All they needed were the spirit beasts that would never betray them.
As the saying went, he who is threatened to obey you shall betray you one day.
“Well, this snake is a spirit beast too. Haven’t you already mastered the skill to tame the spirit beast?” General Murong scanned the azure snake that was clinging to Feng Ruqing’s arm as he grinned.
Feng Ruqing raised her brows and picked up the azure snake by its tail.
“Oh, you are talking about this snake that is neither fancy nor useful? I saw it lying half-dead in the streets, so I picked it up, thinking of making a soup out of it when I have reached home.”
Both the azure snake and General Murong were caught dumbfounded.
General Murong looked at the azure snake sharply. Apparently, the azure snake’s strength was not strong. It looked aggrieved as if it had been forcibly abducted.
Now, General Murong was quite convinced by Feng Ruqing’s words.
