Chapter 258 The Sun and Moon Imperial Palace is a "Talent Pool"
Walking up to Feng Jinghuai, Ye Nanxiao put away his ice blade and flicked his finger, sending two snowflakes landing on Feng Jinghuai's nose.
"What are you doing?" Feng Jinghuai asked, somewhat annoyed.
Ye Nanxiao was amused. How could this person lie in his own domain with such a self-righteous attitude?
"Feng Jinghuai, right? We're in the middle of a competition right now, fighting right now, you know that, right?" Ye Nanxiao sat cross-legged next to Feng Jinghuai.
Feng Jinghuai opened one eye, glanced at Ye Nanxiao sitting next to him, reached out and patted the black gold staff stuck in the ground beside him, and said, "At this close range, aren't you afraid I'll suddenly hit you with this staff? You're a control-type Soul Master, how can you be this close to the enemy?"
Ye Nanxiao blew away two snowflakes. "Instead of talking about this, why don't you tell me why you're lying in enemy territory and taking a nap?"
Feng Jinghuai said nonchalantly, "This is just a friendly sparring match, not a life-or-death struggle. Your victory won't benefit me, and your loss won't benefit me either. So why should I waste my time fighting you? I don't have any medical treatment afterwards, and I don't want to be in pain for days. The haystacks in the dungeon aren't that comfortable."
Upon hearing this, the blue light in Ye Nanxiao's eyes faded. He remembered that Ju Zi had told his clone that his third opponent was a prisoner.
"So, you're still a prisoner?" Ye Nanxiao said.
Feng Jinghuai sighed and said, "You're right, I really am a prisoner, but I'm quite innocent."
"Since you don't plan to fight me anyway, why don't we talk about yourself?" Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, stopping the blizzard in his domain. A small ice table materialized, and with another wave, a wine jar appeared on the ice table.
Ye Nanxiao slapped off the seal, and a rich aroma of wine immediately wafted out.
Feng Jinghuai's nostrils twitched slightly, and he instantly sprang up, grabbed a wine jar the size of his head, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
After downing half a jar of wine in one gulp, Feng Jinghuai let out a burp and gave Ye Nanxiao a thumbs up. "You're pretty good. What do you want to know? Let me make it clear first, I'm just a prisoner, I don't know much."
Ye Nanxiao glanced at the sky and asked Feng Jinghuai, "Tell me about yourself. What did you do to become a prisoner?"
Feng Jinghuai chuckled twice, then picked up the wine jar and started drinking again.
When he stopped, Feng Jinghuai's eyes were slightly red. He sighed twice and said in a deep voice, "Well, I don't really know what crime I committed. I originally had a bright future ahead of me and many female companions, but that night, a single piece of paper filed a lawsuit against me, and I spent a full ten years in the dungeon!"
Feng Jinghuai's eyes were filled with killing intent, and the black gold staff beside him hummed in response to its master's mood.
"My name is Feng Jinghuai. Ten years ago, I was a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. I wasn't very good at making soul tools, so I chose the practical soul tool control department. At the time, I never expected that I would have such amazing talent in practical soul tool control. With hard work and talent, I quickly caught the eye of many powerful soul masters and even got a ticket to the Mingde Hall," Feng Jinghuai said slowly.
"After winning the academy competition, I began to make a name for myself in Mingdu, showcasing my strength and earning the title of genius. Soon, I had many female confidantes around me. I am a person who likes freedom and dislikes being constrained. I always think about how to break the academy's traditions. In addition, there are always beautiful women who want to get close to me, so I don't refuse any of them and often linger among the flowers..."
At this point, Feng Jinghuai seemed to recall some fond memories, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a smile on his lips.
Ye Nanxiao gave Feng Jinghuai a thumbs up, his gaze involuntarily falling on Feng Jinghuai's waist.
"He accepts all comers, buddy. You're pretty good. Could it be that there's a spirit fruit with even better effects than the Yiling Fruit?" Ye Nanxiao's mind started to wander.
Feng Jinghuai naturally noticed Ye Nanxiao's gaze and laughed loudly, "You can't be envious of this; it's my innate strength!"
Ye Nanxiao silently took out three more wine jars and placed them on the ice table.
Feng Jinghuai gulped down the wine in the jar in his hand, then reached out and picked up another jar.
"The food in the dungeon is so bland it tastes like bird food; it's nothing compared to this divine elixir!"
Ye Nanxiao coughed twice, his ears perking up.
Feng Jinghuai finished a wine jar in one gulp, spread his hands and said, "Brother, I'm just naturally strong. I don't use any drugs or secret techniques. I can't teach you that."
"You should focus more on physical training, so you don't have to drink Yiling Fruit tea every day." A mocking voice from the Snow Emperor came from the Sea of Spirit.
Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to condense an ice blade, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Get to the point!"
"The key point is about one of my confidantes." Feng Jinghuai finished another jar of wine, a look of melancholy on his face.
"As my fame grew, I began to frequent various aristocratic gatherings. With my handsome face, I quickly attracted many noblewomen, enjoying nights of pleasure. After a while, I got used to this kind of life. Who knew that among my confidantes was actually a prince's fiancée!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao choked on his saliva and coughed several times in a row, looking at Feng Jinghuai with a shocked expression.
Although Ye Nanxiao had thought of several templates for the story of a protagonist who gets angry for a woman or Feng Jinghuai being bullied by nobles, he never expected that Feng Jinghuai would actually attract a prince's fiancée.
"You didn't expect that, did you? Afterwards, that beauty packed her valuables and wanted to elope with me. But after all, she was a noble lady. How could she keep things to herself? She had no mental defenses against these things. With just a little fright, the truth came out. I was stripped of my title of genius by that prince and thrown into prison, never to see the light of day again. It's been ten years since then." Feng Jinghuai sighed heavily, his eyes filled with desolation.
A brilliant and spirited genius was imprisoned in a dungeon for ten years, his will worn down, turning him into the disheveled man he is today. The suffering he endured is probably beyond the comprehension of most.
After Feng Jinghuai finished speaking, a soft sigh came from the air, and Jing Hongchen's figure gradually appeared.
"Master, it's been a long time." Feng Jinghuai stood up and bowed to Jing Hongchen.
Jing Hongchen nodded slightly. Although she felt a little sorry for Feng Jinghuai's rise and fall, even the Mingde Hall could not directly interfere with the royal family. Moreover, Feng Jinghuai was just a genius. There is never a shortage of geniuses in this world.
"You brat, remember to bring the referee in next time!" Jing Hongchen glared at Ye Nanxiao and said with some dissatisfaction.
Feng Jinghuai finished the last jar of wine, picked up his black gold staff, and said to Ye Nanxiao, "Come on, the wine is finished, the story is over, a couple of blows and it's time to wrap things up."
Ye Nanxiao slowly stood up, an ice blade materializing in his hand. Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Are there many like you in the dungeon?"
Feng Jinghuai twirled his black gold cudgel a few times. Hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "What? You want to raid the palace dungeon? You're brave enough, kid. Well, I might as well tell you that most of the people in the dungeon are like me. There are quite a few geniuses who have offended the royal family and are sleeping on haystacks. One of them is a genius among geniuses. Even I have to admire him. If you have the chance to take someone out of the dungeon, then remember to go to the easternmost cell."
"Of course, if you really can take people away, then you might as well consider me. Although I've been lying in the haystack for ten years, my martial arts skills haven't deteriorated much," Feng Jinghuai said with a smile.
The black gold stick in his hand was pointed at Ye Nanxiao, and Feng Jinghuai returned to his previous lazy and salty look, "Pretend to hit you twice. I promised Xu Tianran that I would give you a good beating. Although he promised to improve my food after the game and try to get me out early, I think this person is very hypocritical, and I don't need to put in so much effort."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Hongchen's lips twitched violently. He was the referee, after all. Did this person think he didn't exist?
On the arena, the extreme cold obscured everyone's vision, and all they could see was a giant ice flower slowly floating within it.
Fan Yu and the others had serious expressions, their eyes fixed on the extreme cold disaster.
"Look, the ice flowers are blooming!" Huo Yuhao said.
Everyone was startled, for the ice flowers within the extreme cold disaster began to bloom, and the extreme cold disaster slowly dissipated.
On the arena, Feng Jinghuai lay on the ground, his Martial Soul Black Gold Staff lying not far away, while Ye Nanxiao clutched his chest, a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao injured, Huo Yuhao's eyes widened suddenly, a strong golden light flickering in them. His fists clenched, and anger ignited in his heart.
In the VIP section, Ju Zi's heart skipped a beat, a hint of worry flashed across her face, and she stared at Ye Nanxiao with her beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She hadn't forgotten that Xu Tianran was sitting next to her.
Xu Tianran happened to catch the instantaneous change in Ju Zi's expression.
Slowly setting down his wine glass, Xu Tianran was suddenly overcome with immense anger.
Although Ju Zi's identity is that of the Crown Princess of the Sun Moon Empire, the role and function she actually plays under Xu Tianran are determined by Xu Tianran himself.
Turning his gaze to Ye Nanxiao standing on the field, Xu Tianran's anger quickly dissipated, replaced by calmness.
"perhaps."
Compared to huge profits, sometimes making sacrifices is acceptable.
On the field, Jing Hongchen's lips twitched, her face darkened, and she glared at Feng Jinghuai, who was lying down breathing fresh air, then at Ye Nanxiao, constantly reassuring herself, "This is the grandson-in-law my granddaughter chose, I can't get angry, I can't get angry!"
"Shrek Academy wins!" Jing Hongchen announced.
He Caitou and his friends burst into laughter, rushed onto the stage, and raised Ye Nanxiao in celebration.
Faced with the large amount of rare metals he had won, Ye Nanxiao felt little joy. Instead, he was thinking, "Feng Jinghuai said there are quite a few geniuses in the dungeon. Does that mean the dungeon of the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace is a talent pool?"
