Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 614 - 609: Mastering the Wings of Light

Hong Qingyan examined the interior of the space ring. The space inside the ring was roughly five cubic meters—not large, but absolutely sufficient for Hong Qingyan's current needs.

At that moment, the space ring was not empty; it contained a suspended spiritual medicine. As Hong Qingyan looked over and felt its presence, she immediately sensed that this was a spiritual medicine effective for her cultivation at the Golden Core Realm, intended for enhancing one's cultivation level.

"This..."

Hong Qingyan was taken aback. She knew that spiritual medicines that could be utilized by Grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm to enhance cultivation were highly sought after. And yet, the middle-aged man with the Long surname she had just met for the first time had given her such a valuable gift!

Besides that spiritual medicine, there were also some spirit stones inside the space ring at this time. After sensing them for a moment, Hong Qingyan estimated there were more than two hundred pieces!

Hong Qingyan was truly shocked. The gift was too significant. She turned around to look in the direction where the middle-aged man with the Long surname had left, but at this moment, she could no longer see the figure with the walking stick.

"Feiyu, do you know where Uncle Long lives?" Hong Qingyan asked anxiously as she quickly turned to look at Yu Feiyu.

"What's wrong, Sister Qingyan?" Yu Feiyu was confused and did not understand what Hong Qingyan wanted to do.

"Uncle Long's welcome gift is too precious, and there's a spiritual medicine and more than a hundred spirit stones in the space ring. No, I cannot accept something for nothing. Moreover, Uncle Long himself is injured—he shouldn't be giving me these things. I must find him and return the spirit stones and spiritual medicine to him."

Yu Feiyu paused upon hearing this, but soon understood what Hong Qingyan wanted to do.

Yu Feiyu grabbed Hong Qingyan, "Sister Qingyan, there's no need. Since Uncle Long has already given you the items, he won't take them back. The seniors in our little village are all very friendly. You don't have to feel guilty about this. Uncle Long's injuries are old, and since he has given them to you, it means he has no use for them."

Although Yu Feiyu did not know what the middle-aged man with the Long surname had given to Hong Qingyan, she knew it must be valuable; otherwise, Hong Qingyan wouldn't be so concerned.

However, based on what she had observed of the villagers over the past few days, she knew that even if Hong Qingyan wished to return the items, the villagers would not accept them.

Seeing this, Hong Qingyan felt somewhat helpless, but she etched this kindness deep within her heart.

Yu Feiyu continued to lead Hong Qingyan around the small village. Now, Hong Qingyan was truly witnessing the idyllic scenery of small bridges over flowing streams and smoke curling up from cottages, as if all of this existed only in the paintings.

But as she passed by some villagers, unless they were children, whether they were young, middle-aged, or elderly, she noticed almost all bore injuries. Some had broken legs, others broken arms, and even more tragic were those with both legs or feet lost. Yet, without an exception, everyone's aura was remarkably strong. All these sights turned into questions buried deep in Hong Qingyan's heart.

She dared not ask. She didn't dare inquire why these villagers were in such states, what kind of missions they had undertaken that led to their current conditions. And those children who seemed so happy playing in the village, would they end up the same way?

Yu Feiyu was silent too. As they passed each villager, she would greet them or bow respectfully, her eyes filled with admiration.

The two women walked until they reached a field, where they saw an elder leading an ox busy at work in a not-so-large field.

Hong Qingyan's eyes lit up, "Feiyu, is that your master, Old Man Huang Niu?"

Yu Feiyu nodded and, looking at Old Man Huang Niu busy in the field, waved her hand and called out, "Master!"

Old Man Huang Niu stood up from the field, glanced over with a smile, then with an agile movement, he mounted the ox, and the ox headed towards the two women.

At this moment, Hong Qingyan's gaze was somewhat fixed. Now, Old Man Huang Niu truly seemed like an ordinary village elder. She couldn't feel the oppressive sensation from before, nor any other kind of power—it was just like a plain, unremarkable village farmer.

Hong Qingyan's heart trembled slightly. This must be Old Man Huang Niu reaching the legendary Realm of Return to Simplicity, where the false and the real could not be distinguished. Her heart filled with increasing respect as she slightly bowed to welcome Old Man Huang Niu's approach.

Old Man Huang Niu, riding the ox, came in front of the two women, dismounted, and looked at Hong Qingyan with a cheery expression, "Young lady, have you awakened?"

Asked in this way, Hong Qingyan's face flushed with embarrassment, but she immediately bowed to Old Man Huang Niu, "I apologize, Old Man Huang, for any unintentional offense previously. Thank you for saving my life and for taking care of me these past days. And for spending so many spirit stones to help me advance, this great kindness will be firmly remembered."

Seeing Hong Qingyan respond this way, Old Man Huang Niu laughed heartily, "There's no need for such formalities. You're a friend brought by that young fellow Ye Feng. Looking after you is no trouble at all, just a simple helping hand."

"You must have had a sudden awakening of your bloodline power to advance, right?" Old Man Huang Niu asked softly.

Hong Qingyan was astonished that Old Man Huang had so easily seen through the reason for her advancement.

"Yes, when I regained consciousness, an inexplicable strength appeared in my bloodline, which allowed me to condense a Golden Core and advance," said Hong Qingyan, without concealing anything. She shared what she knew since she trusted Old Man Huang Niu to be a good person—as Yu Feiyu's master—and if he had wanted to harm her, there had been plenty of opportunities over the past few days. He wouldn't have provided her with Spiritual Medicine and used Spirit Stones to help her advance. Although she didn't know the exact amount, she was very aware of the significant quantity of the Power of Spirit Essence she absorbed during her advancement. It must have consumed many of Old Man Huang Niu's Spirit Stones.

Old Man Huang Niu nodded and said, "It seems that the inheritance of the Wings of Light within you has been activated. Can you now use the Wings of Light freely?"

Hong Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, but then she summoned her breath and felt a force within her body. Swiftly, two rays of light burst forth from her back, and soon, two incredibly sacred Wings of Light unfolded behind her.

Yu Feiyu looked at the sanctified Wings of Light behind Hong Qingyan with shock in her eyes. The already exquisite Hong Qingyan appeared even more ethereal against the backdrop of the radiant Wings of Light, as a divine aura washed over them.

"So beautiful, Sister Qingyan, you're like the Goddess of Light..." Yu Feiyu murmured. In that moment, Hong Qingyan seemed to make the surrounding flowers and trees lose their color, such was her stunning beauty that even she, a girl, was almost enraptured.

Hong Qingyan, feeling the Wings of Light behind her, was also shocked. If Old Man Huang Niu hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have thought of releasing the Wings of Light.

Previously, every time she released the Wings of Light, she had to endure tremendous pressure, which caused her to faint after doing so. She couldn't control the Wings of Light at all.

But now that she had advanced to the Golden Core Realm, it seemed she could freely release them, though she could feel the Power of Spirit Essence inside her swiftly depleting.

After just over ten seconds, ten percent of her Spirit Essence was gone!

The rate of consumption was startling!

With a thought, Hong Qingyan retracted the Wings of Light behind her. She didn't dare to continue using them, as the Spirit Essence was depleting too quickly.

Old Man Huang Niu had been watching Hong Qingyan the entire time, his smile broadening as he spoke, "Not bad, you've now fully mastered the Hong Family's Wings of Light, though your current strength can't support it for long."

"However, after releasing the Wings of Light, your combat power can rise to the level of a top-tier practitioner in the Golden Core Realm, which is quite commendable. You're still a newly advanced Great Power of the Golden Core Realm, and your realm needs time to stabilize. Once your realm is stable, your consumption will decrease."

With a hint of appreciation in his eyes, Old Man Huang Niu explained, affirming Hong Qingyan's abilities. To know that she, as a newly advanced Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, could possess the combat power of a top-level master upon unleashing the Wings of Light, was truly terrifying.

Hong Qingyan never expected Old Man Huang Niu to discern so much with just a glance. She nodded hurriedly, "I am taught, senior."

Old Man Huang Niu didn't say anything more, and the three of them returned to the Bamboo Courtyard they had been in before.

In the cool pavilion of the Bamboo Courtyard, Yu Feiyu stood up to make tea, and the rich scent of tea drifted through the air.

Being enveloped by the tea's fragrance, Hong Qingyan felt serene and noticed the faint essence of Spirit Energy emanating from the tea in her hand. She was again astonished, it must be the legendary Spiritual Tea. In this small mountain village, even the tea was luxuriously imbued with Spirit Essence.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, with neither Hong Qingyan nor Yu Feiyu speaking, while Old Man Huang Niu sipped his Spiritual Tea without a word.

Then Hong Qingyan, unable to hold back any longer, initiated, "Old Huang, Feiyu and I plan to—"

"Plan to go to the Outer Battlefield?"

Old Man Huang Niu took a sip of tea, smiling as he spoke.

Hong Qingyan nodded, and Old Man Huang Niu seemed anything but surprised. He glanced at Yu Feiyu, then back to Hong Qingyan, and said with a smile, "I knew you two couldn't let go of that youth, Ye Feng."

Called out by Old Man Huang Niu, both Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu blushed slightly. Hong Qingyan tried to explain, "It's not just for Ye Feng, Feiyu and I also want to go and gain experience..."

Though she spoke, Hong Qingyan had already lowered her head, implying much without saying.

Old Man Huang Niu laughed heartily before adding, "It is indeed time for you to gain some experience. With your status as a Grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, and my apprentice now at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm, you two should have no major problems entering the Outer Battlefield."

"If you wish to go, then go," he said nonchalantly.

Yu Feiyu, however, showed a touch of reluctance in her eyes, "Master, I..."

In the past month under Old Man Huang Niu's instruction, she had grown significantly, coming to regard him as akin to both a father and mother. The thought of leaving did make her somewhat sad.
