Godly Empress Doctor Chapter 3 - A Meeting In Yunlai Tower

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yunlai Tower, Northern Border City.

As the dining establishment situated closest to the Frozen Forest, Yunlai Tower served as a frequent resting point for cultivators entering or exiting the woods. Consequently, the restaurant was perpetually bustling, with business flourishing daily.

While the clientele usually consisted of rough men, the establishment was curiously packed with beautiful young women on this particular day.

To prepare for today’s mission, Feng Wu had applied yellow face powder to mask her peerless beauty. Her radiant presence was suppressed, making her look like nothing more than an ordinary, unremarkable girl.

Qiuling had also adopted a disguise, transforming into a plain and common-looking little maid.

Feng Wu and Qiuling had just taken their seats when the chatter from the neighboring table reached their ears.

“Is it true that His Royal Highness is visiting Northern Border City?”

“My sources are reliable; His Royal Highness has definitely arrived. I spent a fortune to secure that piece of news, so keep it quiet!”

“To finally witness the graceful bearing of His Royal Highness! We are talking about the genius teenager who holds the top spot on ‘The Greatest of Our Generation List’! If I can just catch a glimpse of him, I can die happy.”

Feng Wu listened to the talk in silence.

Qiuling pursed her lips, her heart full of silent mockery. These girls were so naive! They were satisfied with just a single glance at the Crown Prince? Her own mistress had once been his betrothed!

“Since this seat is vacant, would you mind if I joined you?” A pleasant, melodic voice suddenly spoke beside Feng Wu.

Raising her head, Feng Wu’s gaze met a pair of intelligent, bright eyes.

Feng Xun? Feng Wu instantly recognized the youth, who possessed the unmistakable air of a high-level cultivator.

She recalled their past clashes in the imperial capital. However, given her current disguise and the five-year gap since their last meeting, it was only natural that Feng Xun failed to recognize her.

If her memory served her right, Feng Xun was a childhood companion of Jun Linyuan, and the two were inseparable best friends.

With a flick of his wrist, Feng Xun’s folding fan snapped open, concealing the lower half of his face as he offered Feng Wu a smile. “Feel free to act as if I’m not here.”

Sitting together without speaking? That wouldn't work for her. Feng Wu immediately dismissed that idea. Her goal here was to gather intelligence and determine if Jun Linyuan’s presence was related to the Immortal Spiritual Fruit. Running into Feng Xun was a stroke of luck, and she had no intention of wasting this chance!

Feng Wu began to plot, searching for a way to extract information from Feng Xun without causing him to become suspicious.

Feng Xun, a lover of excitement and noise, couldn't keep his eyes from scanning the room.

Suddenly, he nudged Feng Wu with his fan and whispered, “Do you recognize that person?”

Feng Wu looked where his fan was pointing and noticed a young woman wearing a curtained hat. Through the white veil, the faint outline of her features was visible.

“Who is she?”

“That is Fairy Muyao,” Feng Xun said with a grin.

Feng Wu felt a hint of surprise. “The same Fairy Muyao who serves as the sacred lady of Firmament Palace?”

“The very one.” Feng Xun’s eyebrows arched, looking quite pleased with his own cleverness. “Did she honestly think a curtained hat could hide her from me? Nothing gets past my keen sight.”

Was the sacred lady of Firmament Palace now following the Crown Prince in secret? Feng Wu hadn't realized that Jun Linyuan’s popularity had reached such heights.

The sounds of constant gossip continued to fill the air.

“Hey, did you hear the news? It’s said that the fifth daughter of the Feng family, the one cast out by her clan five years ago, has been staying in this very city.”

“Are you referring to Feng Wu?” another person asked.

“Who else could it be? Honestly, that name is quite irritating. She’s remarkably thick-skinned to still be using it. Why hasn't she changed it yet?”

“Does that name have some special meaning?”

“You really don’t know?”
