Young Miss from the Feng Family - FJXM Chapter 9

Tianshan was located on the border of Tianqi.

The region was perpetually covered in snow, with treacherous terrain and numerous dangers lurking at every turn.

“It’s so cold,” Feng Ming muttered, rubbing his small hands together and hugging himself tightly.

“Xiao Jiu, aren’t you cold?”

“Third Senior Brother, you’re cold?” Feng Jiu Ge showed no signs of being cold at all. In fact, neither she nor the two people beside her seemed affected by the freezing temperatures, making Feng Ming question whether there was something wrong with his own senses.

“Aren’t you all cold?” he asked, bewildered. After all, they were on a snow-covered mountain!

“Third Senior Brother, why didn’t you say earlier that you were cold? Xiao Jiu has something really good for that,” Feng Jiu Ge said as she pulled out several pieces of sewn fabric from her coat.

“What… what is this?”

“This is something I made myself, Xiao Jiu’s special invention! Just stick it on your body or keep it in your clothes, and it heats up automatically!”

“Really? There’s such a thing?” Feng Ming was skeptical. He had never heard of anything like this before.

“Xiao Jiu, you’re just trying to trick me, aren’t you?”

“Believe it or not, we’re not cold,” Feng Jiu Ge replied with a shrug, glancing at him. Feng Ming hesitated and then asked, “Are you two really not cold?”

“Is it really because of this thing?”

It sounded too good to be true. But when he saw the other two nod in agreement, Feng Ming reluctantly said, “Let me try one.”

“Try? Oh, no, that won’t do.”

“Second Senior Brother and Big Brother both exchanged something valuable for these.”

“What do you plan to trade, Third Senior Brother?”

“Xiao Jiu, you’re so stingy.” It’s just a few pieces of fabric, and she’s demanding a trade?

“So, you’re not interested, Third Senior Brother? That’s fine! I’ll just save it for later!” Her tone was teasing, almost too casual.

“Wait, don’t be like that! Your Second Senior Brother is poor, but I have a bracelet meant for girls. Do you want that?”

“Of course!” That bracelet was exactly what she was aiming for.

“A girl’s bracelet? You want that?”

“Or are you too attached to it?” Feng Ming sighed almost imperceptibly. That bracelet…

“Alright, but I want to make it clear—I’m just letting you hold onto it for now. Later, I’ll trade something better to get it back.”

“Deal!” Feng Jiu Ge happily accepted the bracelet. Now that it was in her hands, whether it would ever be traded back was entirely up to her.

“This thing really does heat up automatically. Incredible,” Feng Ming said in amazement. It looked like nothing more than two simple pieces of fabric sewn together, with something stuffed inside, yet it produced heat on its own. He had never seen anything like it.

“I have plenty of good stuff. If you need something, just bring something to trade!” Feng Jiu Ge, despite her young age, had the air of a shrewd merchant.

“Xiao Jiu, where exactly can we find this Bloodthirsty Flower?” Ling Feng asked, looking at the vast expanse of white around them. Could they really find a flower in a place like this?

“I’ve already researched it. The Bloodthirsty Flower likes to grow in dark, damp places and feeds on blood. Wherever it grows, there are bound to be many corpses or bones of animals—or even people.”

“So, we just need to find a dark, damp place,” she explained confidently.

The next morning, they were abruptly awakened.

The ground shook violently, sending shivers down their spines.

“Damn it, is that an avalanche?” Feng Ming shouted in alarm.

“Xiao Jiu, Second Senior Brother, run!”

But as soon as Feng Ming shouted, it was already too late.

Massive waves of snow cascaded down from above. Leng Tian Ao tightly shielded Feng Jiu Ge with his body.

At that moment, Feng Jiu Ge couldn’t help but marvel at her own luck. Before coming here, she had specifically checked, and avalanches were supposed to be rare in this area. Yet, here they were, facing one as soon as they arrived.

The avalanche gradually came to a stop. Amidst the pristine white snow, a hand emerged, and Leng Tian Ao pulled Feng Jiu Ge out of the snow.

“Xiao Jiu! Xiao Jiu!” Leng Tian Ao called out, his voice filled with concern. Why was Xiao Jiu so cold?
