Chapter 32: Chapter 21: Enlightenment Success, The Little Princess Awakens Chapter 32: Chapter 21: Enlightenment Success, The Little Princess Awakens Feng Yin quickly started cooking, for two… or rather, for one person and one cat.

What he prepared for himself was boiled meat, a whole pot full of large chunks of lean meat…

Then he started preparing for the little guy. Even though he only cooked a small pot, he added an extra Yuanli pill that he had just received from He Bibiqu.

Feeling a bit unsure, he mixed two more small bowls of paste, each with an original Yuanli pill, just in case.

While waiting, Feng Yin felt incredibly hungry and restless.

“I’m inexperienced. Next time when I do this again, I must prepare food in advance…”

Feng Yin was so hungry that he was getting dizzy, and the feeling of exhaustion was becoming more and more apparent.

“Who would have thought that, in just a moment, I would end up with symptoms of low blood sugar…”

“It seems that activating this thing consumes not only the spirit from the Spirit Gathering in my Dantian, but also my energy. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be the case. Similarly, Feng Ying’s body has experienced enormous changes, so his energy consumption must have been huge. It is necessary to prepare more for him…”

“Let’s see what effects there are once the little guy wakes up. These furs are all good stuff, I must keep all of them. Without a smartphone to record life, I’ll use the physical things as a record…”

He looked at the handful of white fur in his hand.

While carefully wrapping the fur in paper, Feng Yin suddenly had an idea.

Should he use the fur… ahem… to make a brush?

Use this brush to teach the little guy to write in the future?

Huh, this idea seems pretty good.

Feng Yin couldn’t bear the hunger once the meat was half-cooked, and he began to eat regardless of his manners. The scalding meat was too hot to handle, so as he was hissing, he took big bites. After eating about half a pound of meat, he finally didn’t feel so anxious…

Re-energized, he calmly waited for the meat to fully cook…

The aroma of the cooking meat filled the room…

Brothers Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth were salivating in the sickroom.

“Why did he suddenly start cooking meat…”

Xu the Third kept swallowing saliva and urged his brother, “You go and check.”

Xu the Fourth stared at his elder brother with wide eyes, “We already owe him thousands… Do you think he’ll feed us?”

“Just give it a try, everything depends on us.”

Xu the Third coughed, “Isn’t it said that the debtor is the boss? We already owe him thousands, owing him a little more won’t make any difference…”

“I dare not be the boss. Let’s go to bed…”

Xu the Fourth hesitated with fear. Facing Feng Yin, he always felt a sense of unease.

But in the end, Xu the Third, salivating with anticipation, couldn’t resist the smell of the meat and left…

Shortly after…

There was a loud,”BANG!”, followed by Xu the Fourth’s scream and Feng Yin’s outraged roar.

“…You eat my food, drink my drinks, live in my home, owe me money, and ask me to heal you… You paid me fifty taels for medicine worth fifty thousand taels… And you still want to eat my meat?!”

“I’ve never seen such shameless people in this world. You two brothers are so mean, shameless, and despicable!”

“You’re heartless! You even want to eat meat!”

Aside from the scolding, there was the sound of fists hitting flesh, powerful and solid.

Xu the Third’s face changed, and he closed his eyes, covered his head with a blanket, and tried to minimize his presence, hoping to stay out of it.

After a while, the noise finally subsided.

Xu the Fourth limped into the sickroom with a swollen face and saw Xu the Third burying his head in the blanket, snoring loudly, as if he had been asleep for a while…

“I know you’re not asleep…”

Xu the Fourth said spitefully, “Other than betraying your own brother, what else can you do…”

Xu the Third ignored him and continued pretending to sleep.

“Just keep pretending. I mean, who could’ve drawn such a short straw to end up with a brother like you? I came to terms with it a long time ago. I’ve been cleaning up your mess since we were kids, and I guess I’ll still be cleaning up your mess now…”

Xu the Fourth grumbled, as he lay down on the bed, whimpering in agony, cursing and complaining, “…I said we shouldn’t go, but you just wouldn’t listen. And what happened? I got beaten up, are you happy now? Are you satisfied? Are you blasted pleased?…”

“…No tears until you’ve seen the coffin, are you seeing it now? Isn’t it fun to throw your own brother under the bus?… Xu the Third! Are you deaf?!”

…

On the other hand, Feng Yin was wonderfully satiated and his belly was round. His capacity to consume food was followed by a series of digestions, which made him feel better. The Spirit Gathering in his Dantian gradually recovered. Now, he just had to wait for it to be fully charged so he could use it again tomorrow.

But he couldn’t shake off a lingering feeling of exhaustion deep within himself. He would not be able to attempt any transformation today.

Now, he just had to wait for little Feng Ying to wake up and see the effects.

Not to mention, he thought the name ‘Feng Ying’ that he picked was splendidly suitable for the little one.

From now on, he would follow him around like a shadow…

“Hmmm… Hmmmm…”

The little one woke up, weakly crying.

Unexpectedly, it quickly crawled to Feng Yin’s side, showing no signs of falling over. Its little claws scratched at him anxiously. Even its eyes had lost their luster.

Clearly.

It was crying out for help as if it was about to starve to death…

Its tiny belly was sunken.

Fortunately, Feng Yin was prepared for this. He hurriedly handed over the big bowl. The temperature was just right.

The little one didn’t even need to be fed. As soon as it smelled the food, it dunked its head straight into the big bowl.

Gulp, gulp…

In a blink of an eye, a big bowl of porridge had a noticeable dent and was still rapidly diminishing.

Throughout the process, the little creature never raised its head.

On the bed where it was lying originally, there was a pile of white fur from the creature’s shedding which happened three times due to the spiritual awakening… Feng Yin kept the fur from the first shedding but couldn’t collect the two later batches in time.

A careless breath sent the white fur fluttering all over the bed, making the job of collecting it much more difficult than expected.

Then Feng Yin realized something strange: “This… is a bit unusual…Wasn’t it just learning how to crawl, and not even that steady? Why is it so fast now?”

“Could this spiritual awakening actually promote its growth?”

As he gently stroked the little creature’s body, it indeed seemed a bit bigger?

“Given this progress, I’d say this little one has skipped about a month’s worth of growth already? Of course, I’m comparing it to regular kittens. As for the actual progress of its inner development, this damned cultivation method doesn’t specify.”

Smack, smack…

The little creature ate ravenously, quickly finishing off that big bowl of porridge. Not only that, but it gave off a strong vibe that it was still unsatisfied. Lifting its little head, its whiskers sticky with porridge, its big, beautiful eyes looked at Feng Yin: “Meow meow…”

“Not enough? Want some more? There is more! Plenty more!”

Feng Yin, not one for idling talk, simply took the entire pot, got another big bowl and the little creature dived into it, making yummy noises and eating without hesitation.

With a satisfied rumble in its belly, the little creature continued eating; its belly rapidly filling up and its strength returning. Its tail started wagging back and forth again.

Clearly, it was pleased.

Half a while later…
“Meow… burp…” The little scamp lifted its head to burp yet looked ready to bury its head back in the bowl, clearly displaying signs of being terrified of going hungry.

Feng Yin quickly took the bowl away: “No, no, you mustn’t eat too much, Feng Ying. Wouldn’t want you to eat yourself to death.”

The little creature looked up: “Meow!”

It seemed to recognize its name.

“Feng Ying?”

“Meow.”

“Do you know your name is Feng Ying?”

“Meow.”

“Feng Ying?”

“Meow…meow…”

“Puppy?”

“…”
The little creature was silent, staring at him with confusion. The meaning was clear: who are you calling? That’s not my name.

Its tail swung back and forth playfully, looking absolutely adorable.

“Hahaha… so smart.”

Feng Yin held the little creature in his hand and gave it a few kisses, his eyes squinting in laughter.

He had not expected the Spirit Gathering awakening process to be so effective. With just one round, the creature’s intelligence had awakened.

Smack, smack. The little creature seemed not to resist, instead reciprocating in kind, and nuzzled against Feng Yin’s face. Of course, it wasn’t actually nuzzling, but gnawing at Feng Yin’s face, causing the porridge on its whiskers to stick all over Feng Yin’s face.

Its little paws softly kneaded Feng Yin’s face.

Man and beast, their affectionate bond was evident.

After a while, the little creature, in Feng Yin’s hand, strutted back and forth over his palm as if playing king of its own small territory. There was an undeniable air of pride surrounding it.

Its steps were light and elegant, with a hint of dignity.

“What a good boy! But you’re prancing around proudly in the palm of my hand. What are you so proud of?” Feng Yin lightly tapped the creature’s nose.

The little creature lifted its head. Its ears flopped and its mouth open wide, revealing mini-fangs. It looked cute yet ferocious at the same time!

“Huh?”

Feng Yin found something new. In the little thing’s mouth, there were several new, pearly white items, the size of rice grains.

“Huh? Are you getting teeth?”

Feng Yin placed Feng Ying in a position to open its mouth wide for a closer inspection.

Despite not liking Feng Yin’s action, the little thing obediently tilted back its head and opened its mouth. Only the increasingly rapid swishing of its tail hinted at its discomfort.

Feng Yin gently felt it with his hand. They were hard, indeed they were teeth, but they were just starting to poke through…

“Incredible!”

Feng Yin expressed his amazement, uttering his admiration.

Just one Spirit Gathering awakening, and the creature who was only two or three days old even had teeth popping out.

“Miracle!”

“I am a god! I am the best!”

Feng Yin began to glow with triumph.

[I will update a bit earlier and then go back to sleep. I forgot about time while writing last night. When I finished, it was already 1:30 a.m., the first time I’ve gone to bed this late in almost two months.]
