The exact moment of Luo Yuanyuan's appearance coincided with when the original owner, Feng Yuanyuan, was lured and tricked by Feng Qinqin and Qing Fengjing into a Deserted Valley in the outside world, where the two of them conspired to murder her.
Those two scoundrels had deceived Feng Yuanyuan into bringing her to this Deserted Valley. Having devoted herself entirely to cultivation since childhood, Feng Yuanyuan had her guard completely down around them, having no inkling of the vicious schemes winding beneath the surface.
She drank a cup of poisoned wine handed to her by Feng Qinqin, and her body instantly went limp and collapsed to the ground. Qing Fengjing actually felt a twinge of hesitation. After all, Feng Yuanyuan was truly breathtakingly beautiful, and killing her just like that seemed quite a waste.
How could Feng Qinqin fail to read Qing Fengjing's thoughts? It was nothing more than wanting to do all sorts of things to Feng Yuanyuan...
So she deliberately puffed out her fleshy bosom, rubbing herself back and forth against Qing Fengjing while murmuring alluring words in a sweet, cooing voice.
When Qing Fengjing looked back down at the fallen Feng Yuanyuan, apart from that face which was barely passable, the front of her chest was as flat as a board, possessing zero assets to speak of. Bah! Boring. How could she compare to the satisfying feel of the Feng Qinqin right in front of him?
Whatever pitiful scrap of sympathy remaining in his heart was completely wiped out. At a cue from Feng Qinqin, he covered Feng Yuanyuan's body with dark, murky mud, intending to bury her on the spot.
By this time, the body of the original owner, Feng Yuanyuan, was already chilled through. The poisoned wine Feng Qinqin had tricked her into drinking was a fatal-upon-contact poison specifically concocted by Feng Qinqin and her mother to deal with the Phoenix clan!
As for why the mother and daughter duo had gone out of their way to acquire poison to deal with Feng Yuanyuan, it stemmed entirely from jealousy between women...
Yes, ever since they were little, Feng Qinqin had envied and hated Feng Yuanyuan. They were both daughters of the Crown Prince and granddaughters of the Old Demon Emperor.
Why was it that only Feng Yuanyuan enjoyed the Demon Emperor's affection and tutelage from childhood?
And as descendants of the Phoenix clan, why did only Feng Yuanyuan possess pure Phoenix bloodline, while she, Feng Qinqin, possessed only the inferior Vermilion Bird bloodline?
Feng Qinqin refused to accept this! She was determined to do away with Feng Yuanyuan! Just as her mother had once poisoned and eliminated Feng Yuanyuan's mother, the Crown Princess.
Hmph, her mother used to lecture her about sisterly affection. If there really was any sisterly affection to speak of, why had her mother poisoned and killed her own paternal cousin—the Crown Princess?
Thus, the mother and daughter plotted together to acquire this instantly fatal poison. With heaven's timing, geographic convenience, and human harmony on their side, she had finally succeeded in getting rid of Feng Yuanyuan!
As for Feng Yuanyuan's corpse? Hmph, if she had any awareness in the netherworld, she should be thanking Feng Qinqin!
At least she, Feng Qinqin, hadn't left her body exposed in the wilderness. She had even gone to the exhausting trouble of piling a layer of dirt over her to bury her! At least her remains wouldn't suffer the indignity of being scavenged and eaten by wild beasts!
So, after perfunctorily burying Feng Yuanyuan, driven perhaps by a guilty conscience or something else, the two of them hurriedly boarded their Flying Boat and left without a second thought.
Just like that, the original owner, Feng Yuanyuan, was left behind in the deserted valley to depart from the world forever.
Meanwhile, Feng Qinqin and Qing Fengjing had already piloted their Flying Boat back to the Monster Realm, where they tearfully announced the news to the Old Demon Emperor in public.
They claimed that Feng Yuanyuan had gone out on an outing with them, and because of her exquisite beauty, she had inadvertently caught the eye of the Demon Lord of the Demon clan, who captured her. Because she resisted with her dying breath, the enraged Demon Lord had struck her down with a single palm...
Not only that, but Princess Feng Yuanyuan's body had even been cruelly dismembered by the Demon Lord... hacked into pieces... To think that a dignified princess of the Monster Realm had met such a tragic end...
As for the two of them, Feng Qinqin and Qing Fengjing, they had sustained heavy injuries while trying to save the First Princess Feng Yuanyuan. It was simply that their strength was limited; no match for the Demon Lord, they had narrowly escaped from the Demon Lord's clutches through countless perils at the risk of their lives.
Because both of them were severely injured, they had been unable to bring back the body of Princess Feng Yuanyuan!
Yes, to fake being beaten by the Demon clan, both Feng Qinqin and Qing Fengjing's bodies showed varying degrees of injury. For instance, Qing Fengjing had a broken arm.
And the Second Princess, Feng Qinqin, had taken a strike to her chest, leaving her clothes covered in bloodstains.
Furthermore, wisps of demonic Qi lingered around them both (which was actually demonic Qi acquired elsewhere and poured onto their clothes for disguise. The injuries on their bodies had also been inflicted by their own hands!).
The two of them wept bitterly inside the Demon Emperor Palace, putting on quite a sorrowful act while incessantly blaming themselves in their speech!
Upon hearing this, the Old Demon Emperor spat a mouthful of blood right on the spot and collapsed unconscious to the ground. Consequently, the Monster Realm was temporarily placed under the administration of Feng Yuanyuan's biological father.
As soon as this biological father took office, he first arranged for people to carry the Old Demon Emperor away to be treated by a shaman, and then delivered a series of high-sounding platitudes.
His words, both implicitly and explicitly, conveyed that since the First Princess Feng Yuanyuan was already dead, it must be the will of heaven, and everyone should not dwell on it too much.
With the loss of the First Princess, their Monster Realm still had the Second Princess Feng Qinqin, who could continue to fulfill her betrothal with the Green Python heir, Qing Fengjing!
Just listen to that! This favoritism was so one-sided it had gone off the charts. Upon the death of his biological daughter, he merely offered a perfunctory sigh of regret, without uttering the slightest word about avenging his daughter or investigating the truth of the matter!
It was a truly textbook performance of what a deadbeat father really looked like. Once you get a stepmother, your biological father turns into a stepfather...
