Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5072 The Sullen Feng You

Feng You used her body to block the whip for Hu Xiaoyu. Seeing the bloodstain on her sister’s back, Hu Xiaoyu cried out, her eyes instantly reddened.

This reaction was a manifestation of the Spirit Fox’s berserk nature. Enraged by Feng You’s injury, Hu Xiaoyu opened her mouth to retaliate, but Feng You held her tightly, preventing her from attacking.

“Endure it. Resistance won’t solve this problem. It will only make our future days harder,” whispered Feng You.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to fight back; she simply couldn’t. There were hundreds of thousands of brothers and sisters who depended on her, so she had no choice but to lower her head for them. In the end, she remembered the old race leader’s instructions to look after them.

“Big Sister…” Hu Xiaoyu wept. “Why is this happening? If we had known, we should have stayed with—”

“Don’t say it!” Feng You interrupted, her expression tense. The name was taboo here.

“You two sluts are still thinking about that short-lived ghost? If you weren’t involved with that fellow, would our mixed beast race have to endure these snubs all the time?!” cursed the cat woman.

“Short-lived ghost?”

Long Chen felt like “the short-lived ghost” was him.

Back then, Long Chen had asked the Feather Spirit race to look after the mixed beast race, but the Feather Spirit race had scoffed at the idea, labeling the mixed beast race as dogs of Lord Brahma. Moreover, they were the lowest tier of dogs.

Whatever Lord Brahma needed, they would rush to fulfill. The mixed beast race was considered worse than third-tier in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven, and the Brahma Pill Valley viewed them as practically worthless.

However, as one of their dogs, the Brahma Pill Valley occasionally gave them some bones. Thus, the mixed beast was completely loyal to them. While the mixed beast race was very passionate, their intelligence was very limited, so they weren’t skilled at fawning over someone. As a result, the Brahma Pill Valley did not care about them.

When the mixed beast race took in Feng You and her companions, they inadvertently clashed with the High Firmament Academy. At that time, they were unaware of the animosity between the High Firmament Academy and the Brahma Pill Valley.

When they did learn of it, they panicked, and it looked as if they would directly throttle Feng You. They quickly informed Pill Valley of the situation, leading to the arrival of experts who conducted soul searches on Feng You and the others. After failing to extract any useful information, they departed.

Since then, the Brahma Pill Valley had ceased all communication with the mixed beast race. But then, the Brahma Pill Valley rarely contacted them anyway.

However, as Pill Valley’s most loyal dog, they grew anxious and started to treat Feng You and the others coldly, allowing other disciples to bully them. 

Fortunately, Feng You had found a master here who was fond of her. However, that master was only a one-vein Heaven Saint and was not powerful enough to protect her fully.

After enduring the trials of a secret realm, Feng You managed to become a half-step Heavenly Chosen. This outcome disappointed the higher-ups, who had high hopes for her. They directly abandoned any thoughts of raising her.

Not achieving the status of Heavenly Chosen during the Divine Venerate trials meant that her chances of becoming one in the future were exceedingly slim—essentially hopeless.

As a result, Feng You’s situation grew even more precarious. The experts accompanying her were in a similar boat; none of them became a Heavenly Chosen, and only six of them became half-step Heavenly Chosens.

This led the mixed beast race to regret their decision to take them in, feeling that they were squandering resources without yielding any returns.

As a foreigner in the Sovereign Emperor Heaven, Feng You became a target for native experts, who bullied her without restraint. She was often subjected to insults and curses, used as a punching bag whenever they felt bored.

When they entered Glacial Heaven City, the cat woman was pushed by someone in the dense crowd, and she furiously cursed them, only to realize she was confronting a faction she couldn’t afford to provoke. She hastily apologized.

This faction then insulted her intelligence and ignored her. Embarrassed, she ended up venting her anger on Feng You. Since Feng You talked back, the cat woman slapped her.

Long Chen wasn’t aware of Feng You’s situation in the mixed beast race, but this single incident gave him a clear sense of the challenges she faced.

“What are you crying about?! Why not just kill yourselves instead of embarrassing everyone here?!” cursed the cat woman upon seeing Hu Xiaoyu crying.

“Are you not going to help?” asked Bai Yingxue, unable to keep watching.

“I can’t help them. That’s the path she chose for herself. Even if she’s in pain, she must walk it to the end. If she wants to return, it has to be her decision—I can’t drag her back,” said Long Chen, shaking his head.

When Feng You left, it was her choice, and Long Chen respected her decision. He knew she would face challenges in the mixed beast race, but he hadn’t anticipated it would be this tough.

Once a leader among heavenly geniuses, she had entered the Sovereign Emperor Heaven with grand aspirations, only to be reduced to this unfortunate state. Long Chen felt bad for her.

However, just as Long Chen had mentioned, this was the path that she had chosen. If she wanted to go back, she had to do it herself. He couldn’t choose for her.

This was something he couldn’t change, no matter how high his cultivation base rose. Ultimately, experts had to shape their own fates. While another person could help them for a moment, no one could help them for a lifetime.

If Long Chen helped her this time, what about next time? Without his help, she would be lost in a vortex of despair. Life sometimes required enduring hardships, as some pitfalls were unavoidable.

In the past, Feng You’s position in the mixed beast race had been unshakable, but she had experienced too little, resulting in her not being able to see things clearly. In any case, a person had to pay the price for the immaturity and ignorance of youth to truly grow up.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

However, growth was also a matter of probability. Some people would fall into a pitfall, and then that was the end.

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted at the cat woman, “Are you done? Sort out your own issues at home instead of bothering others here!”

The cat woman may have been fierce with Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu, but she didn’t dare to do the same to others. With a haughty snort, she continued on her way, disappearing into the crowd.

“Big Sister Feng You, are you alright? Why don’t we leave now?” asked Hu Xiaoyu.

“It’s just a superficial wound. I’m fine. Since we’re already here, let’s take a look. He always said that danger and opportunity coexist. The greater the risk, the better the reward. This is our chance. Once we grasp it, we’ll make them pay the price of their arrogance.” Feng You’s determination shone through as she glared at the retreating figures of the cat woman and her companions.

After saying that, the two of them continued deeper into Glacial Heaven City.
