A Volcano
"Calm yourself first, Yujie." Feng Bing'er immediately said to her little sister as soon as she returned to her body.
"But Big Sis-"
"I know you miss Ling'er a lot, and I miss her too." Feng Bing'er sighed softly before continuing. "However, we can't do anything while she's still in the Illusion Forest, and it would be best if we waited for her to return to our clan. After that, we'll immediately leave this place and return there, and we will be able to reunite with her again."
In the end, Feng Yujie nodded to her big sister. "You are right, Big Sis. I hope that Ling Yun can really bring Ling'er back to our side, for she has been missing for too long."
"En, I hope so too." Feng Bing'er answered as she nodded.
Even so, Feng Yujie still couldn't calm down, and she looked so impatient to meet her daughter, and Feng Bing'er couldn't help but shake her head looking at her like that.

A woman in a green dress is flying across a city, but her eyes suddenly fall on a woman wearing a light blue dress who is walking alone in the city's streets. "Oh? She's been missing for quite a while; I didn't expect to meet her here."
After that, the woman in the green dress landed in front of the woman, startling her. "Huo Ye? Why are you here?"
"Hey, have you forgotten that my mother's clan resides in this city, Wen Qing?" Huo Ye asked back as she shook her head. "I should be the one asking why you're here?"
Wen Qing was stunned momentarily, sighed softly, and answered her. "I'm looking for the answer for my future."
"Hmm?" Huo Ye raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. "Are you still thinking about Ling Yun?"
"Yes." Wen Qing nodded to her, and her expression was sad.
Huo Ye sighed, seeing her like that, and she then put her arm around Wen Qing's shoulder. "Since I've never been in love before, so I can't give you any advice. Moreover, I don't know Ling Yun well, so I'm afraid to give you the wrong advice.
"It's okay." Wen Qing replied with a bitter smile.
"Come with me; I want to go to the Chen Clan first." Huo Ye said as she pulled Wen Qing to accompany her, but she seemed reluctant to go with her, for her uncle was her ex-husband. "Don't worry, you don't have to pay attention to my uncle, and I will protect you from him. After this, I will see Long Qiu and Lei Lin; they will be happy to see you again."
"All right, then." Wen Qing ended up accompanying Huo Ye to visit the Chen Clan.

Meanwhile, the situation in the Chen Clan was chaotic, and people seemed to be panicking as a man kept screaming in pain; even his whole body was bright red.
"Argh! Father! Where is Uncle Yu? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Chen Hong continued to scream as he endured the terrible pain in his body, especially his inner organs.
Fang Lin felt confused seeing her husband like that.
Chen Wentian sighed heavily, continuously channeling his qi to help ease his son's pain, and answered him. "Be patient, Hong'er! Yu Guang's residence is very far from this city, so it still took him a long time to come here."
"What really happened to our son, Husband?" Liu Ruyue, the mistress of the Chen Clan, asked Chen Wentian.
"I don't know what happened to him, but his internal organs became swollen." Chen Wentian replied as he shook his head at his wife and then asked his daughter-in-law. "Did Hong'er eat something strange yesterday, Lin'er?"
Fang Lin tried to remember yesterday's incident but couldn't remember anything, for she had been in the bathroom for so long. "After we returned from Feng City, we spent some time together, so he shouldn't have eaten any strange food yesterday, Father."
"Feng City?" Chen Wentian and Liu Ruyue exchanged glances upon hearing that, but they believed that Feng Ruxue couldn't possibly do anything to their son since they had never had any trouble before.
"What's going on here, Grandpa?" Huo Ye asked as she entered her uncle's room, for Chen Hong's scream was very loud, and she could hear it from the front gate.
"Qing'er?" Liu Ruyue was surprised to see Wen Qing walking behind her granddaughter.
Wen Qing nodded and greeted them. "Long time no see, Aunt Ruyue, Uncle Wentian."
"Yes, long time no see, Qing'er." Chen Wentian and Liu Ruyue replied simultaneously as they nodded to Wen Qing.
Liu Ruyue approached Wen Qing, hugged her briefly, and asked again. "Why did you suddenly come here? I thought you had forgotten about us after you divorced Hong'er."
'So she's my husband's ex-wife, huh? No wonder he still remembers this woman; even after I swallowed the beauty returning pill, I still feel inferior to her.' Fang Lin was muttering in her heart, filled with jealousy, for Wen Qing was still prettier and sexier than her, especially with the difference in their breast sizes.
Chen Hong was surprised by his ex-wife's arrival and wanted to say hello, but the pain continued tormenting him, and it worsened with every passing moment.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Ruyue. I haven't returned to the cultivator realm in a long time, so I never visited you." Wen Qing replied with a smile as she turned to her ex-husband, and her expression was immediately filled with loathing, for she still remembered that night when he and his men beat up Ling Yun.
Liu Ruyue sighed in her heart, seeing her expression. Although she knew about the incident between Wen Qing and her son, which caused her to divorce him, she never blamed her former daughter-in-law, especially since she was aware of her son's bad behavior towards her.
"What exactly happened to him, Grandpa? Why does he keep screaming in pain like that?" Huo Ye asked again, for her grandparents still had not answered her question.
Chen Wentian shook his head at her. "We don't know what happened to Hong'er yet, and we can only wait for Yu Guang to come here; only then can we find out the cause of his illness."
"I see." Huo Ye nodded in understanding and turned to her grandmother. "Grandma, I want to talk to you about something."
"Hmm? What do you want to talk to me about?" Liu Ruyue asked as she turned to Huo Ye.
Huo Ye shook her head. "Let's talk alone."
"All right." Liu Ruyue then pulled Wen Qing's hand. "You come with us too, Qing'er."
"But-"
"It's okay; you can come with us." Huo Ye interrupted Wen Qing as she walked out of Hong Chen's room, and the two women quickly followed her elsewhere.
On the other hand, Fang Lin was curious about their conversation, but she didn't dare eavesdrop on them. Moreover, her husband was still in so much pain that she couldn't leave him alone. 'Sigh, at this rate, I can't follow that person to the Illusion Forest, and I won't be able to meet him again.'
"Hong'er!" Suddenly, Chen Wentian cried out in shock because Hong Chen had suddenly fallen unconscious, and his orifices were bleeding out. He then contacted Yu Guang and urged him to come to his clan immediately, but his current location was still quite far from their residence.
Fang Lin was shocked to see her husband's condition, but since her father-in-law was powerless to help him, she couldn't do anything for her husband.

In the heart of the Illusion forest, Cai Hudie was staring at a beautiful woman with long red hair, and her appearance was graceful in a white dress with a phoenix pattern.
The woman's body is very tall, not slim but not plump either, her curves look beautiful in her dress, and her big breasts around the D-Cup protrude from under her dress.
"Should I let her out of this place?" Cai Hudie wondered to herself as she kept her eyes on the woman, who was none other than Feng Ling'er, the mother of Feng Xing and Feng Xiu. "Even though my master ordered me to release her, I'm afraid she will tell others about the item's existence in this place. If that happened, more cultivators would come here, and it would be overwhelming if I captured and confined them here. But if I don't let her go, my master will punish me later."
While thinking about that, Cai Hudie saw a Vermilion Bird from another area, which swiftly stabbed into the ground, causing a massive explosion to ring her ears. 'Tch! My master is terrible! I didn't expect him to have such a technique! Even though his cultivation is still at the Lower Core Realm, his attack power is mighty!'
Feng Ling'er, who heard the explosion, also turned to the other area of the forest. "Hmm? Since when have there been active cultivators in this place? Why doesn't Senior Cai capture them like me and the others? Sigh, I can't remember how long I've been in this place, Xing'er and Xiu'er must miss me a lot, and I hope they don't forget me."
In the end, Cai Hudie chose to wait for Ling Yun to finish his training first while she considered whether to let Feng Ling'er go or not.
