Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-394

Jiang Yi knew it was going to be very troublesome in the future. When he used his divine senses and detected all the experts’ presences in the nearby vicinity of the library collection, he immediately understood Shui Youlan’s purpose. She wanted him to help teach Shui Qianrou a lesson and change her pampered and barbaric temperament.

Shui Youlan did a favor to Jiang Yi, and he was more than willing to help out with this small matter. Furthermore, he didn’t like Shui Qianrou; and it was rather contenting to use this chance to teach her a lesson. It was up to Shui Qianrou, for whether this pampered and barbaric princess would be able to take this setback—whether would she commit suicide or fall into oblivion.

He walked back to his own palace hall with a refreshing feeling. Once he entered the doors, he immediately went to Jiang Xiaonu’s room. His eyes immediately lit up as he exclaimed with ecstasy, “Xiaonu, you are finally awake. How do you feel? Do you feel anything wrong with your body?”

Jiang Xiaonu must have awakened for a moment and was leaning on the top of the bed. He Lao had been guarding her by the side, and there was a maidservant from the Water Moon Observatory who was feeding her some meat congee.

“Young Master, I’m fine!”

Jiang Xiaonu gave a sweet smile. Jiang Yi took over the bowl and waved his hand, “It’s alright. You can go off.”

He Lao and Jiang Yi exchanged looks, and the former took his leave as well. He knew that Jiang Yi must have a lot of things to speak with Jiang Xiaonu, and it wasn’t convenient for him to be around.

“Young Master…”

After the two of them went out, Jiang Xiaonu immediately called out with this ashamed look. Jiang Yi shook his hand and smiled. “Stop talking. Finish this congee first and take a good sleep. If you have anything to say, you can do it later. It is fine as long as you are still Xiaonu.”

“En!”

Jiang Xiaonu nodded and smile with opened mouth. She ate the meat congee that Jiang Yi was feeding her while having this sweet and tender smile on her face. Jiang Yi fed her this bowl of congee for about 30 minutes. The two of them didn’t speak as though nothing had happened and they were still as intimate as siblings.

Jiang Xiaonu quickly fell asleep while Jiang Yi was guarding her by her side. When he looked at her face which was sleeping soundly, he recalled about the time at the Sea of Death where Xiaonu had this bizarre look, just like a war goddess. He had this ineffable feeling and felt that this world was just so mystical. If he had the chance to walk out of this sea region and travel to other continents, he believed that he would be able to see more mystical things and races.

After cultivating for one whole day and night, Jiang Xiaonu woke up again. This time, her complexion looked much better; and she could eat by herself now. Jiang Yi accompanied her for a meal and looked at her quietly, waiting for her explanation.

“Young Master!”

Jiang Xiaonu looked at Jiang Yi shyly and spoke only after a moment, “If… Xiaonu isn’t a normal human, would you despise her?”

“Haha!”

Jiang Yi let out a burst of long laughter and extended his hand to grab Xiaonu’s jade hands. “As long as you are still Xiaonu, it doesn’t matter what race you belong to. Even if you are a divine race from heaven or the demon from hell, Young Master will still like you! You have been with Young Master for so many years; do you still not know what kind of person he is?”

“En, Young Master is the best!”

Xiaonu gave a sweet smile and breathed out like she had a heavy burden. She then explained, “Actually, I had been lying to Young Master. Back at Mt. Spirit Beast College—after I had been rescued by Master Liao, I had awakened some of my inherited memory and a mystical ability. At that time, Young Master wasn’t around; and I was very scared and didn’t dare to tell anything. I wanted to tell Young Master after he returned, but I was afraid Young Master might treat me as a monster and wouldn’t want Xiaonu anymore. So I had been hiding it from you…”

“Silly lass!”

Jiang Yi’s heart ached while he pulled Jiang Xiaonu into his embrace. His heart was filled with guilt as he had been busy cultivating ever since Xiaonu had regained consciousness. He had encountered various types of incidents; thus, he didn’t have the time to care for her. During this one year’s time, Jiang Xiaonu must have been living in fear and worry, right?

He extended his hand to rub Xiaonu’s back and spoke in an abnormally firm tone, “Xiaonu, listen carefully. You and Young Master grew up relying on one another, and you are the closest person to him. No matter what happens and the circumstances are, I will never abandon you. In the future, remember to tell me everything that happens to you, understand?”

“En! En!”

Jiang Xiaonu nodded her head in repetition. The stone that had been pressing on her heart for more than a year had finally been released. It made her much more relieved, and her smile looked even more resplendent now.

Jiang Yi paused and asked, “Xiaonu, what kind of race are you? Why are you so formidable after you transform?”

“Ink Feather Race!”

Jiang Xiaonu lifted his head and spoke with a trace of doubt in her beautiful eyes. She spoke in a soft voice, “A memory was awakened in my soul spirit, telling me that I am a descendant of the Ink Feather Race. Our race is very rare in this world, and when we are young, we aren’t any different from normal humans. After 16 years, an inherited memory would be awakened; and we will be able to cultivate our race’s Ink Feather Divine Art, giving us the ability to transform. Xiaonu is very slow. After secretly cultivating for more than one year, she is only able to cultivate to the first stage. I still am not very powerful after I transform, and the time that I can maintain it is too short…”

“Ink Feather Race? Ink Feather Divine Art? First stage?”

Jiang Yi’s tongue got tied up. If her strength was already comparable to a Vajra Realm martial artist at the first stage of this divine art, wouldn’t she be comparable to the Heaven Monarch Realm when she attained the second stage?

He quickly asked, “Then Xiaonu, do you know how many stages there are in your divine art? Would the second stage double your strength?”

“I am not sure…”

Jiang Xiaonu shook her head and said, “I have to cultivate the first stage to the peak before the second stage’s mnemonic chant would appear. Young Master, is it… better for Xiaonu to stop cultivating in the future? I am afraid once I turn into a monster, Young Master wouldn’t want me anymore.”

“No!”

Jiang Yi shook his hand and spoke in a serious tone, “Xiaonu, you must continue cultivating, and you must do it diligently. You look very nice after you transform. You look majestic just like an invincible goddess. It is very special!”

“Eh?!”

Xiaonu’s eyes immediately lit up. Women were always very concerned about their looks, and so when Jiang Yi said that she looked nice after she transformed, she was instantly excited. She replied, “Young Master, do I really look nice? Then Xiaonu shall cultivate diligently and strive to become even stronger. In the future, if anyone dares to bully Young Master, Xiaonu will kill all of them!”

“Haha!”

Seeing Jiang Xiaonu clenching her small fist tightly and gritting her silver teeth, Jiang Yi was very delighted as he rubbed her head and said, “Xiaonu is already incredible now. This time, if it wasn’t for you, Young Master would have perished in the deep sea. Oh, right… Xiaonu, does your inherited memory tell you where you came from? I mean, where is the homeland of your Ink Feather Race?”

Jiang Xiaonu was adopted by Yi Piaopiao, and if Jiang Xiaonu knew of her origins, he might be able to deduce Yi Piaopiao’s origin. Jiang Yi was very curious about all information regarding his mother.

“Homeland?”

Jiang Xiaonu blinked her eyes and pondered for a moment before she shook her head and said, “My inherited memory didn’t include a lot of information about our race. It seems like… our Ink Feather Race is rather famous? It is some kind of ancient race? It is also ranked third among this world’s top ten races. Young Master is more knowledgeable than me; didn’t you hear of this race before?”

“Ancient race? Top ten races?”

Jiang Yi never heard of this before, and this was unknown on the Stellarsky Continent. Of course… Shui Youlan mentioned that Jiang Xiaonu was brought back by his mother from the outside world. This meant that Xiaonu’s race must be on the other side of the sea, maybe the East Imperial Continent?

“East Imperial Continent!”

When he recalled about this, Jiang Yi casually elaborated about the matters regarding Yi Piaopiao, and he also mentioned that Yi Piaopiao brought Jiang Xiaonu from the outside world. He then finally said, “Xiaonu, we will diligently cultivate together, and when we are strong enough, we will go search for Mother and the members of your race together. When that time comes, Young Master will take you along and travel the world.”

“En!”

Jiang Xiaonu quickly nodded her head, revealing an intoxicating smile which was resplendent like a flower.
