Journey to the Mysterious Sea

Madam Feng dragged her exhausted body, experienced a long and arduous journey, and finally arrived at the capital of Chu State - the border city of Longcheng, which was once extremely glorious but now slightly dilapidated. Along the way, she slept in the wind and rain, suffered countless hardships, and was exhausted physically and mentally. But at this moment, her eyes bloomed with an extremely firm light, which seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles.

She faced the powerful Emperor Chu as Jin Xiaofeng. Jin Xiaofeng's face was solemn and her eyes were filled with unwavering faith. She said in a sonorous and resounding voice: "Father will definitely be able to completely conquer the Red Dragon Empire, become a great emperor, and create a magnificent hegemony that will be passed down for thousands of years!" Her voice echoed passionately in the empty hall, containing unparalleled confidence and determination, as if it could shake people's hearts.

After hearing these heroic words, the King of Chu couldn't help but laugh out loud. The hearty laughter kept echoing in the spacious and empty hall, as if to completely break through the shackles of the hall. He said loudly: "You are sensible and obedient, and your words are more pleasant to the ear. Xiaofeng, you have grown up a lot after all!" His eyes showed deep relief and satisfaction, as if he saw a sapling growing vigorously.

After hearing the praise from the Emperor of Chu, Madam Feng raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. There seemed to be a hint of smugness in that smile, and then she turned around gracefully, her figure as light as the wind, and every movement was just right, showing the dignified demeanor of a lady from a noble family. Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a delicate flower slowly blooming, exuding charming charm.

Emperor Chu looked at her leaving figure, his heart filled with joy, and nodded with satisfaction. His eyes were full of love and satisfaction, and he said with deep emotion: "My dear child, my life has reached its peak, and the children under me have become well-behaved and obedient. God has been very kind to me, allowing me to enjoy such glory!" There was a deep satisfaction and pride in his voice, as if all this was what he deserved.

Madam Feng walked out of the hall and came to the outside. At this time, the breeze gently blew on her face, bringing a pleasant coolness. She slowly closed her eyes in the breeze, and her mind instantly sank into the sea of ​​consciousness deep in her brain.

In that mysterious sea of ​​consciousness, Madam Feng faced Jin Xiaofeng who was struggling in the cage, her eyes full of contempt and disdain. She said coldly: "I'm much better than you! I can do everything better than you, including making your father so satisfied." Her words were full of provocation and arrogance, as if she had complete control over everything.

Jin Xiaofeng's face was filled with fear, and her eyes were burning with flames of anger. She roared at the top of her lungs, "You're just a fake. Sooner or later, your father will see through your true face!" Her voice trembled with extreme anger, and her inner fear and anxiety were revealed in her trembling.

Mrs. Feng shook her head and said indifferently, "You don't understand your father at all. As long as I don't betray him, your father will always treat me as his daughter. Even if he may have realized in his heart that I am not his biological daughter, but another impostor, he will not act easily. As long as I don't damage his dignity and face, he won't care about these. Do you think you have an important position in his heart, Jin Xiaofeng?" Her tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if Jin Xiaofeng was just an insignificant existence in her eyes.

After hearing this, Jin Xiaofeng took a few steps back in horror, then sat down on the ground in a daze, her eyes full of despair. Her body kept shaking, as if she was oppressed by an invisible force and had lost all her strength and courage.

Madam Feng smiled slightly and said sarcastically: "Jin Xiaofeng, don't you think you are a complete waste? Apart from being the daughter of a great emperor, you can't do anything well. Even the fact that you are the daughter of this great emperor makes people extremely dissatisfied. If I were you, I would have ended my life long ago, so as not to embarrass myself and be laughed at here." Her words were like a sharp blade, mercilessly hurting Jin Xiaofeng's heart.

Jin Xiaofeng's body was shaking violently, as if she had been attacked by an invisible storm. Her eyes were filled with deep fear, and that fear was like thick ink, almost swallowing her eyes. She slowly raised her hands, which were shaking violently, like dead branches swaying in the cold wind. Every tremor seemed to tell of her extreme fear. She put her hands on her neck with great difficulty. The movement was slow and heavy, as if her hands were bound by invisible shackles.

Then, she began to squeeze her neck with force. Her knuckles turned white from the force, and she looked like she was determined to end her painful life. Her face turned pale as paper, without a trace of blood, as if the source of life had dried up in her body, and all the vitality had been ruthlessly taken away. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the beads of sweat rolled down like crystal clear pearls, quickly soaking her face, making her already haggard face look even more miserable.

Mrs. Feng stood quietly by the side, with a seemingly calm smile on her face. However, that smile was only on the surface and did not really reach her eyes. Behind that seemingly calm smile, there was a creepy indifference, as if her soul was covered by a layer of ice. She looked at Jin Xiaofeng indifferently, without any compassion in her eyes, as if Jin Xiaofeng was just an insignificant stranger, and her life and death had nothing to do with her.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. After a long time, Jin Xiaofeng's trembling hands finally slowly dropped. Her eyes were filled with deep fear and endless helplessness. The fear was like a shadow, and the helplessness was like a heavy shackle, binding her tightly. Her teeth were clenched tightly, and there was a "click" sound between her upper and lower teeth, as if she wanted to crush all the pain in the world between her teeth and swallow all the endless suffering into her stomach. She squeezed out a sentence from her teeth with difficulty: "Even so, I don't want to die. I'm afraid of death." Her voice was trembling and weak, as if it was a desperate cry from the depths of her soul.

After hearing this, Madam Feng shook her head helplessly, with deep disappointment in her eyes. The disappointment was like a heavy haze, shrouding her eyes, and it was impossible to ignore. Her voice was cold and sharp, and she said with undisguised disgust and contempt: "When it comes to disappointing people, Jin Xiaofeng, you will never disappoint people. You can't even end your life by yourself. You are simply good for nothing and useless. People like you are a waste of air." Her words were like sharp blades, stabbing Jin Xiaofeng mercilessly, and every word was full of cold malice. In her eyes, Jin Xiaofeng seemed to be the most unbearable and disgusting existence in the world. Even if she just looked at him for a second, she felt extremely annoyed.
