It's a good and a bad thing that Feng Xiangrong fell into Qi Deviation inside her Soul Space.
Good because there are no normal humans around that would be bloody massacred, bad because it's her soul space.
Another advantage is the fact that she could only access at least her foundation level, the soul space is far more powerful than what she can do. As such, like a defense mechanism to protect its owner, it's also helping Feng Xiangrong calm down.
And like every aftermath of Qi Deviation. She felt like shit upon waking up. Not to mention, there is also that pain in forcefully opening her Soul Space, it's like she was being stabbed, but instead of her body, it's on the soul, that type of pain. It's throbbing even as she breaths.
The pain she's feeling is enough for her to die.
Barely even conscious, high with fever, Feng Xiangrong felt as if someone is touching her forehead and something bitter sliding down her throat. Someone seemed to be talking to her but the fact that her head is like having a good time inside the washing machine, she couldn't process what's going on and felt nausea instead.
Feng Xiangrong didn't know how long she had been unconscious, but when Xiangrong woke up, she felt better. Soul Space is very nourishing to her. Even if her spiritual energy is healing her, she still need proper medicine to help with the pain and accelerate healing rate so that there wouldn't be any in Gering damage or phantom pain of old injuries.
"You're awake." Someone stated from the side and effectively caught her attention.
Feng Xiangrong sat up in shock, regretted it instantly as she let out an agonized yelp.
"Don't sit up so fast, you'll injure yourself more, even if you healed at inhuman speed."
Feng Xiangrong let herself be guided back to laying down, "You… How…"
Feng Xiangrong accepted the bowl of water given to her and she gulped it, carefully yet greedily to sooth her parched mouth.
"I woke up here, you were at the side, bleeding from your seven orifices. Am I supposed to leave someone who needs medical attention be?" 'Yao Xian' spoke, at least that what she believes. Feng Xiangrong looked at the old man with a critical gaze.
Even experienced, 'Yao Xian' couldn't help but be uncomfortable at her soul searching gaze, her eyes seemed to change and peered at him with a soul probing gaze.
"You're not Grandpa." Feng Xiangrong said firmly, "Who the hell are you?! Where is he!? " Xiangrong more or less snarled, as if she couldn't wait to run up and tear him apart. And she didn't even bother to hide her hostility.
"…. You can tell in an instant." 'Yao Xian' spoke and breathed out a sigh although he had to word this very carefully, "I am Feng Yin, a Doctor from 21st Century. I suddenly woke up in this body with the memory of Yao Xian." Feng Yin didn't dare hide it from her, not because he's afraid, but it's useless to deny, he had Yao Xian's memories intact, although not affection, he can judge it from logical and third person's point of view like someone watching a movie. Not to mention, he had already known of this little girl being not so ordinary. The place they are in currently certainly doesn't seemed within the bounds of 'Ordinary'.
"So Grand….Grandfather still…..died ……despite my efforts." Feng Xiangrong couldn't help but tear up, hostility had disappeared and her face and turned ashen and white, "Will my sister die too? Mother Yao, Zirui, Concubine Mother An?" she looked as if all the fight in her was suddenly sapped in an instant and viewed the future as very bleak and their eis no fighting chance to succed.
Feng Yin looked at the crying and devastated child. The little girl suddenly gotten depress at alarming rate.
The current mental state of Feng Xiangrong had reminded Feng Yin of patients under PTSD. The doubts in their hearts, no matter how confident they are in the surface, it usually didn't show that they are being held back by the past. To someone who knew where to look, they can spot it easily. No matter how strong he look outside, she's crumbling inside. Just took at how she suddenly seemed to have gotten crushed.
"…. You shouldn't think too negatively. And I should tell you because this was Yao Xian's thoughts before he perished. 'Keep going, you cannot save everyone, just make sure you do everything without regrets. My death must be determined from the very beginning, but even so, you shouldn't let it keep you down. Qianrou, Yu Heng, Zirui, and Yiyue are counting on you. I am counting on you. And no matter what, I am honored and proud to meet you.'." Feng Yin relayed the message. Given the face he wore, the impact on Xiangrong is very big.
Feng Xiangrong broke down into tears, Feng Yin decided to give her some privacy.
Feng Xiangrong had to pull herself together. She had to, even if not for herself, but for her love ones.
'Third Prince, you're so ruthless, then don't mind me if I am impolite to you in the future.'
Feng Xiangrong had healed herself and cultivated for a few hours then took Yao Xian out from her Soul Space. She's still recovering from the injury of forcefully opening her soul space but Feng Xiangrong will not be held back in pulling the strings in the dark.
The other opponent has no bottom line, why should Xiangrong continue to do so.
With her Soul Space open, she can definitely sort things out. I easily, specially since she can access her resources now.
After rechecking the Yao Family and made sure they settle as well manage themselves. It obviously won't be a smooth sailing progress and would most likely have a few bumps in the road, but they will eventually get there, they have to adapt. Feng Xiangrong will help them. She owed it to Yao Xian. Although Feng Yin now wore his body, Feng Xiangrong can tell that he also won't let them suffer too much, there is no affection but Feng Yin has a heart. Specially since there are children amongst them.
The South Territory. It's so dry and the water sources is the river and well but everyone still need to manage them in case of drought arriving. Obviously, the flora and fauna resources not as abundant as the fertile soil of Da Shun, but planting herbs and plants here will be a bit of a challenge. Geographically wise, it's worse than Da Shun.
Given they lived all their life in the mild climate of Da Shun, they would Ave to be on a look out incase of someone finding it unbearable and unable to adapt, resulting a heatstroke, if that happens, it will definitely lower the morale of the others which is what they wanted to avoid given how low it is already at present situation.
Feng Xiangrong caught the eye of Feng Yin who nodded at her.
Without a doubt, the Third Prince planted people in the village as well. The Yao Family will not be treated good here. The food in the market and raw materials are almost thrice as expensive, it's unreasonable!
Feng Xiangrong decided to take out the Water Impurity Absorbing Jade from her Soul Space to put it on the well. Feng Xiangrong has to make a trip yearly to change the Jade.
More often than not, these types of Jade aren't really valuable in the Cultivation World. Everyone can use their Qi to purify drinking water but when Xiangrong was young, she likes to collect 'useless' trinkets like these, they are very cheap and pretty to look at, unexpectedly, it would be used now. Feng Xiangrong doesn't mind, after all, she had so many of them in her space, they practically just put in a jar and hung by the window for decoration or be in the Clear Pond where she planted so many Water Natured Herbs. They made the water look pretty. But one Jade is enough for this well for a year.
As for the soil, they also had to use the water from the well to water their crops, the water from the well would help nourish the soil and plants regardless of the state of the soil.
Feng Xiangrong has been very careful to only be seen by Feng Yin and not show herself up to other Yao Family members, otherwise, it would be a disaster if it got leaked out. Lose tongue invites calamity just as no secrets can remain forever.
Feng Yin himself is very careful about this as well.
Feng Xiangrong handed to Feng Yin the pouch she had taken earlier.
"You should go back, it's been two weeks since you're here. Your Concubine Mother will find something odd." Feng Yin spoke
"She won't." Feng Xiangrong reassured, "I still have to check on Mother Yao, Second Sister and Second Brother." Feng Xiangrong said, "At most, it would be at the end of the month until I would reach back to Feng Manor."
"You shouldn't be so reckless, you're still injured."
"I'm worried. Resting would make me restless. This place isn't the only place where those people can plant their spies and troublemakers on." Feng Xiangrong said, "I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it."
"Then, take it easy. I shouldn't be advising this to a patient who's definitely should be in bed and recovering but I would be able to stop you in this." 'I am more worried of your mental and emotional state those few hours of crying and mourning is not enough, obviously. You'll definitely tire yourself out at this rate.' however, Feng Yin can only swallow these words and said this in his heart with a heavy sigh.
"You're right." Feng Xiangrong pretend to not understand that meaningful glance directed her way from the annoyed and exasperated elder.
A silly thought pass through her mind, 'Though, I'm probably older than him mentally, I don't need to be reminded my dignity as an elder collapsed when I cried like an infant.'
"Then be careful on the road."
"I will" Feng Xiangrong nodded and disappeared
