Ye Yunfei immediately moved in front of Miao Ziqiong and sensed her aura.
"Mother, the blood qi in your body has mostly recovered. The remaining part can be completely restored with further recuperation later! All in all, there's nothing seriously wrong anymore!" Ye Yunfei said happily.
"Kid, I have to say, your alchemy skills are truly impressive. Your mother's body was severely depleted of blood qi before. To think you could help her recover most of it in such a short time! This level of alchemy is nearly catching up to the Ancient Desolate Great Emperor," Hun Lao couldn't help but praise.
"Fei'er, how is Xiao Fei?" Miao Ziqiong asked.
"Mother, don't worry. The toxin in Xiao Fei's body is getting weaker and weaker. It won't be long before she wakes up," Ye Yunfei replied.
"That's wonderful!" Miao Ziqiong was extremely excited.
For these past few years, she had worried almost daily about the poison in Xiao Fei's body. She never imagined her son would arrive and detoxify it just like that.
"The heavens must have taken pity on me, granting me such a capable son," Miao Ziqiong thought, looking at her son with a hint of pride. Naturally, she was very happy that her son was accomplished.
"Brother Ye, someone is about to enter this room!" At that moment, Ye Yunfei received a Sound Transmission from Situ Kong'er.
"Good. You handle them. See what's going on," Ye Yunfei said.
At this time, Situ Kong'er was still transformed into the appearance of Miao Ziqiong, guarding the room.
Soon, several old women walked in, each carrying a red box with a 'double happiness' character pasted on it.
"Miao Ziqiong, the Sorcerer has given an order. Xiao Fei is about to be married. We are here to help Xiao Fei get dressed and made up!" one of the old women said coldly.
"Brother Ye, how should I deal with them?" Situ Kong'er asked.
"I'll handle them," Ye Yunfei said after a moment's thought.
These old women were very weak in strength. Ye Yunfei planned to subdue them all using the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower, standing in a corner of the room.
Since Ye Yunfei was using the Hidden Shadow Secret Art, it was impossible for those old women, given their strength, to detect that an extra person had suddenly appeared in the room.
The old women walked to Xiao Fei's bedside, helped her sit up, and prepared to dress and make her up. Situ Kong'er, having received Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission, did not stop them.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei concentrated his mind and performed the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art, attacking into the soul sea of one of the old women.
"Ah!..."
This old woman let out a miserable scream, her face turning pale with a pained expression.
"What's wrong with you?" the other old women were startled and asked.
But in the next moment, Ye Yunfei performed the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art again, simultaneously attacking into the soul seas of the other old women. Thus, Ye Yunfei used the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art on all those old women at the same time! Using it on several living beings simultaneously was an experiment!
The old women all trembled violently, their expressions pained.
After just a few breaths, their expressions suddenly returned to normal, their gazes toward Ye Yunfei becoming utterly docile.
"Tell me, what is the current situation," Ye Yunfei transmitted his voice to ask one of the old women.
"Report to Master, the Miao Clan's higher-ups have decided to hold a grand wedding ceremony for Xiao Fei. The Old Sorcerer ordered us to come and help Xiao Fei dress and make up. Tomorrow at dawn, the Jiao Clan's Second Prince will personally come to Fengyang Palace to take Xiao Fei back to the Jiao Plane. The Jiao Clan has already sent a large welcoming party in preparation for tomorrow's wedding," the old woman replied.
"Tomorrow at dawn..." Ye Yunfei's eyes gleamed coldly.
"By the way, where are you from? Are you subordinates of the Old Sorcerer?" Ye Yunfei asked the old woman.
"Master, we are from the Great Prince's Residence. We are subordinates of the Great Prince," the old woman answered.
"The Great Prince's Residence!" Ye Yunfei's expression shifted.
"Does the Great Prince have granddaughters?" Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and asked.
"Granddaughters? Yes. The Great Prince has a total of five granddaughters," the old woman replied.
"Do you know which granddaughter the Great Prince dotes on the most?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Of course I know. The granddaughter the Great Prince dotes on the most is Miao Yazhi," the old woman answered.
"Has Miao Yazhi been married off?" Ye Yunfei asked again.
"Not yet," the old woman replied.
"Good. Then let Miao Yazhi be the one to marry," Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
"Brother Ye, do you perhaps mean...?" Situ Kong'er, standing to the side, faintly guessed Ye Yunfei's intention after hearing his questions to the old woman.
"Forcing Xiao Fei to marry the Jiao Clan's Second Prince was actually the idea of the Old Sorcerer and the Great Prince. Since they want to befriend the Jiao Clan, then let the Great Prince's granddaughter marry over," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"Good! Brother Ye, our Miao Hand Sect's Seventy-Two Transformations can not only transform oneself, but also help others transform! If you can bring that Miao Yazhi here, I wouldn't mind performing a transformation on her, turning her into Xiao Fei, so she can replace Xiao Fei and marry into the Jiao Clan," Situ Kong'er said immediately upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"Oh? Brother Situ, you can also transform others?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat excited upon hearing this.
"Yes. I couldn't before, but recently, you've provided me with so many cultivation resources that my realm and strength have advanced by leaps and bounds. My Seventy-Two Transformations technique has reached a new level. I can now transform not only myself but others as well. Of course, the effectiveness of transforming others definitely can't compare to transforming myself," Situ Kong'er explained.
"Good. I'll go bring her over now," Ye Yunfei nodded.
He then summoned a female disciple from the Phantom Tower. This woman was a member of the Miao Clan whom Ye Yunfei had subjugated into slavery earlier in Qianfeng City. Ye Yunfei had kept her in the Phantom Tower precisely for unforeseen needs like this.
"'Transform her into Xiao Fei. I can't leave Xiao Fei alone here,'" Ye Yunfei instructed.
"Good, I'll transform her right away," Situ Kong'er said.
"Let me strengthen the isolation formations of this room first," Ye Yunfei said after a moment's thought. He took out a small handful of formation flags and tossed them out.
Immediately, the isolation formations around the room were reinforced, making it much harder for perception to penetrate from outside.
Then, Situ Kong'er began casting his art on the Miao Clan female disciple. Moments later, the Miao Clan female disciple transformed into Xiao Fei's appearance. Ye Yunfei then transferred Xiao Fei into the Phantom Tower.
"Brother Situ, transform her into my mother's appearance. You will leave with me," Ye Yunfei said, then transferred another Miao Clan female disciple out from the Phantom Tower. This Miao Clan disciple had also been subjugated into slavery by Ye Yunfei.
Situ Kong'er began casting his art again, transforming this Miao Clan female disciple into Miao Ziqiong's appearance. Then, Ye Yunfei transferred Situ Kong'er into the Phantom Tower.
Moments later, a patrol of guards passed near the room's entrance. Ye Yunfei had the Golden-horned Dragon Silkworm carry the Phantom Tower and slip out of the room, leaping onto one of the guards. And so, soon after, Ye Yunfei successfully left Fengyang Palace.
