Veil of Darkness: The Enchantress's Revenge

Chapter 3: Transition of Abilities

The three entered the secret chamber while Yun Yi anxiously waited outside. Inside, they formed a triangle, their palms facing each other. Both Yun Fengqing and Yun Xuan displayed signs of pain, and Shangguan Ling was drenched in sweat. After more than two hours, she finally stopped, opened her eyes, and a joyful expression lit up her face; she had succeeded!

Looking at her two daughters, Yun Fengqing appeared unaffected, but Yun Xuan looked pale. Shangguan Ling, filled with concern, hugged Yun Xuan tightly, feeling a twinge of guilt. She then turned to Yun Fengqing and said, "Fengqing, Xuanxuan's abilities have now transitioned to you. You must work extra hard in your training; you can't let Xuanxuan's sacrifice be in vain, understand? For now, stay here and practice!"

Yun Fengqing nodded, still in a daze, as she watched Shangguan Ling carry Yun Xuan out. She couldn't understand why Shangguan Ling would do this, but a sudden wave of sadness washed over her until a sharp pain jolted her back to reality.

Her body felt like it was on fire, and Yun Fengqing curled up in agony, unable to alleviate the pain.

"Ahhh... which idiot did this?!" Suddenly, an old man appeared in the chamber, with white hair, a white beard, and even white eyebrows, dressed in a long black robe. He looked at the curled-up Yun Fengqing and shouted, "What a jerk! Do you want this little girl to die from the pain? Don't you know that abilities with different attributes can repel each other? Not just a jerk, but a fool as well!"

He helped Yun Fengqing sit up and continued to ramble, "Listen here, little girl, you're lucky! It's a good thing I'm in a good mood today and decided to take a walk; otherwise, you'd be dead by now. I'm going to guide the excess energy out of your body, and you must endure the pain, understand? Otherwise, don't blame me if you die!"

Yun Fengqing gritted her teeth and nodded. Although the old man was annoying, he seemed like he could help her!

"Xuanxuan, come and see! This is your and Fengqing's birthday gift! Tell me which one you like!" Shangguan Ling sat on the sofa, holding two beautiful dresses.

Knowing Yun Xuan had loved dresses since childhood, Shangguan Ling decided to give her one as a birthday gift for her tenth birthday. The other dress was just an additional gift for Yun Fengqing. Right now, Yun Fengqing's training was the priority; once she had enough power, she could inherit the Shangguan family, and everything else was secondary.

Yun Xuan's eyes were filled with disdain and a hint of hatred, but when she looked up, she put on a sweet smile as she walked over to sit beside Shangguan Ling. "Both are so beautiful!"

Shangguan Ling smiled back. "Since you like them, I'll give you both!"

Yun Xuan's smile brightened. "Thank you, Mother!"

Shangguan Ling affectionately patted her head. "I need to handle some matters first. Once your father brings Xiao Tian back, we'll celebrate your birthday."

"Okay." Yun Xuan nodded obediently, watching her mother leave.

Then she noticed someone coming down the stairs, and a flash of hatred crossed her eyes. She sweetly called out, "Sister, come over and see! This is my birthday gift from Mother!"

Yun Fengqing smiled lightly, sitting on the opposite sofa with her coffee, appearing uninterested.

Yun Xuan gritted her teeth. What she hated most was that no matter what she did, Yun Fengqing always acted indifferent, basking in the glow of her status as the future family head while she suffered!

Yun Xuan walked over with the dress, saying, "Sister, look at this!" Hearing Shangguan Ling's footsteps, Yun Xuan suddenly snorted coldly and knocked the coffee from Yun Fengqing's hands.

"Sister, why are you acting like this? Is it because Mother didn't give you a birthday gift, so you're unhappy?" Yun Xuan looked at Yun Fengqing with tear-filled eyes, resembling a wronged little wife.

Shangguan Ling's expression darkened. "Yun Fengqing, what are you doing?" She looked at Yun Xuan's reddened hand, her eyes filled with concern.

Yun Yi and Yun Tian entered and immediately saw this scene. Yun Tian glared at Yun Fengqing and pulled Yun Xuan away, saying, "Xuanxuan, let's go. I'll help you with your wounds."

Yun Yi's expression was equally grim. "Fengqing, Xuanxuan is just an ordinary person now. How could you treat her like this? You should be grateful to her; without her, how would you have your current abilities?"

Shangguan Ling angrily said, "Go practice in the secret chamber now! Even though you've come out of the training base, your current cultivation isn't enough to take on the head of the Shangguan family. And don't repay kindness with malice; you always bully Xuanxuan. If it weren't for her, where would you be today?"

Yun Fengqing set down her cup, grabbed a tissue to wipe the coffee off her hands, and then went upstairs without saying a word. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened; from the very beginning, no one had given her the chance to explain.

In truth, she could have easily dodged Yun Xuan's little tricks, but since she wanted to use this tactic, she would let her have it. After all, the one suffering was Yun Xuan; she couldn't compare to someone with spiritual power like her!

The car stopped outside the villa.

"Master, we've arrived!"

The woman in the back seat, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them to see the car door open by itself. With a calm demeanor, she stepped out as if such a strange occurrence was perfectly normal and walked into the villa.

If one looked closely, they would notice that there was no one in the driver's seat.

Seeing the person walk in, Shangguan Ling stood up excitedly and shouted hysterically, "What are you doing here? How dare you come back? Xuanxuan is your biological sister, and you actually did this to her! How could I have given birth to such a cold-blooded daughter? Why don't you go die? Go die! Give Xuanxuan back to me!" Although more than two months had passed, Shangguan Ling still harbored intense hatred for Yun Fengqing.

Yun Yi and Yun Tian quickly restrained her. Yun Yi looked at Yun Fengqing with eyes full of indifference and reproach. Over the years, Yun Fengqing had been busy cultivating and dealing with the Shangguan family's affairs, rarely appearing in front of them. Yun Tian was also busy with training and later took over Yunmen, while Xuanxuan, although she occasionally disappeared, spent most of her time with them. Among the three children, they were closest to Xuanxuan, but she had been killed by Yun Fengqing in such a cruel manner! Their precious daughter had died without a complete corpse!
