Chapter 17 Chapter 17

Xuanyin hung up the phone after she finished speaking. Technology is really amazing nowadays. You can get pissed off over the Internet even when you're taking a bath.

The system knocked on the door outside: "What's wrong?"

Xuanyin didn't answer, but simply said, "System, help me check online for information about the Cheng family's birthday banquet today. The more detailed the better."

Then she turned up the temperature of the water in the bathtub, using the high temperature to accelerate the effectiveness of the medicine. At the same time, she released her mental power, which condensed into long, thin golden needles in the air and pierced into the acupuncture points all over her body.

This can most effectively stimulate potential and improve the overall state of the person.

Ten minutes later, the water in the bathtub had become very light in color. Xuanyin stood up, rinsed off the remaining medicine on her body, and put on a bathrobe.

The system hurriedly floated forward and said, "The Cheng family's birthday banquet was held at the Cheng family manor at the foot of the Rongming Divine Pagoda. Many people came, including many important figures and outstanding young people. The original body's mother and brother were taken to the manor an hour ago and were warmly entertained by Cheng Zixin's mother. There are pictures of them online."

"Are you going there now? Well, don't make a scene when you get there, or you'll be abused."

"Stop making trouble? Then we have to see why Cheng Zixin wants me to go back on this day."

Xuanyin wiped her hair. "First, you asked Wen Yan to find me, and then you brought Cheng Shuhui and his mother back. You went through so much trouble. Are you just going to invite us back for a feast?"

"But with your current status and strength, if a conflict breaks out, you'll definitely suffer."

"I know. I didn't say I would definitely do it. I know what I'm going to do."

The system breathed a sigh of relief, but thought to itself, "Why am I so unconvinced? You're so aggressive, you really look like you're going to beat someone up."

Xuanyin quickly dried her hair and tied it up, while asking, "Tell me, what else do you know?"

System: "Just now when I was online, I noticed that this birthday banquet has attracted quite a lot of attention. Some people even predicted that Cheng Zixin, the Federation genius, has been overshadowed by your appearance. She urgently needs to prove herself, so she is likely to present a piece of [Spirit] series healing clothing as a birthday gift to the birthday girl."

"Healing divine clothes?" Xuanyin stopped and thought for a while, then opened the wardrobe. Several pieces of clothing inside were made when she was designing new divine clothes in the past few days.

The system was stunned: "Hey, hey, hey, come on, you want to wear this, don't you want to..."

Xuanyin took out a skirt with the most low-key style that could be worn out normally: "It's just what you think."

"That's the Real God Tower. The authentication process requires a divine possession! Your body..."

"Don't worry, it's just He Xiangu's certification, it won't cause any big commotion."

…

The Cheng family’s birthday party.

As a former seven-star spirit-possessing master and federal lieutenant general, Cheng Siheng, the old man of the Cheng family, is celebrating his eightieth birthday today with great fanfare.

Many people came from the military and government, not to mention families big and small.

The scene was very lively and the entire manor was brightly lit.

There were too many people in the hall, so Yan Wei came out to get some fresh air.

"Major General Yan." Someone called him. He turned around and saw it was the secretary of the Director of Security: "Secretary Tang."

Tang Yekun said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be the representative from the military department to celebrate the birthday. If I had known you would come, the director would have come in person."

Yan Wei said, "I was on vacation in the capital planet when I received the mission."

Tang Yekun nodded. He just received the task, not because of any personal wish.

The youngest major general in the Federation speaks in an interesting way. I heard that before, Mr. Ming seemed to want to match him with Cheng Zixin, but now he seems to have no such idea.

Suddenly, a beam of white light descended from the distant night sky.

The people nearby whispered, "That's the direction of Rongming Divine Tower!"

"Yes, many people come to get the Divine Clothes certification every day. There are at least a dozen of these divine power beams coming every day."

"This divine light is very bright. Is it possible that another powerful divine garment has appeared?"

Yan Wei also looked at the beam of light. After just ten seconds, the light disappeared. Tang Yekun asked, "Major General Yan, what do you think of this beam of light?"

Yan Wei speculated: "The fluctuation of divine power should be around 500."

Tang Yekun said: "That is also a top-grade divine clothing. Our divine clothing warehouse is becoming more and more abundant."

As they talked, they walked into the hall. Soon, the celebration began. First, the military and the government presented gifts, then other people who wanted to congratulate presented gifts, and finally the Cheng family themselves.

Among the Cheng family, the last one to appear was Cheng Zixin.

She presented a divine robe buckle with both hands and said, "After a year of unremitting research, my granddaughter has finally created this Wood Spirit Healing Divine Robe. It has recently passed the certification and is specially given to Grandpa. I hope that Grandpa will be free of illness and pain and live a long and healthy life."

An old man beside him said with a smile, "This healing divine robe, I wonder if it has the effect of prolonging life?"

Cheng Zixin smiled and said, "Yes, this Wood Spirit Divine Garment can release the endless power of nature. It can prolong life, heal illnesses and injuries, especially physical injuries caused by possessing a spirit."

The people present were slightly agitated. They had seen the effect of this divine clothing in the Divine Clothing Storehouse before. The biggest highlight was the aftereffects of being possessed by a god, and they were highly anticipated.

You know, nine point nine out of ten spirit possessors have occupational diseases, and they are essentially exchanging their lives for just a few years of combat effectiveness.

If it can be effectively treated, not only can the career be extended, but the entire life span can be extended!

As a result, everyone looked at the buttons of the divine robe with heated eyes.

The old man said, "Such a good thing is given to your grandfather. You are such a filial child."

Old Master Cheng waved his hand and said, "The only thing left is filial piety. A few days ago, in the dream world, she almost got into trouble. I was so angry that I scolded her severely!"

Cheng Zixin lowered his head at the right time, looking as if admitting his mistake.

Everyone knew what Old Master Cheng was talking about. It was simply about that time in the dream world when the aircraft was thrown out and she and Wen Yan jumped out of the plane to survive. In the end, no one in the aircraft was hurt, so their jump was in vain.

This incident was heavily ridiculed online. If the woman in purple hadn't been so popular and people hadn't paid too much extra attention to her, she would probably have been criticized even more harshly.

Mr. Cheng mentioned it here specifically just to take the opportunity to talk about this matter. He has already scolded others, so of course others can't hold on to it anymore.

Isn’t it said that older ginger is spiciest?

But he is the birthday boy and he is quite old, how can we not give him face?

In addition, Cheng Zixin has what they want.

So they started to speak well of Cheng Zixin and make excuses for her in various ways.

Cheng Zixin smiled embarrassedly and said quickly that she knew she was wrong. Her admission made everyone feel that it was not her fault.

After all, it was Wen Yan who carried her out of the plane, not her who jumped by herself.

Cheng Zixin listened to the low discussions of the crowd and knew that the matter was really over.

She glanced at Yan Wei's table and found that he was not looking at them at all.

She was a little disappointed and continued, "Otherwise, today I will show the effect of this divine clothing, and I hope that the uncles and seniors can give Zi Xin some advice."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it, and they all became excited.

Cheng Zixin looked at Old Man Cheng, who nodded with satisfaction: "Show it to me."

Cheng Zixin took a deep breath and pressed the buttons of the divine robe.

The next moment, a green divine light descended.

"Ah, it's actually her who is possessed by the spirit. Isn't she a designer?"

"Miss Cheng's mental strength is SS-level, and her physical fitness is above A-level. She is also a spirit-attaching master. Don't you know?"

Everyone was looking at the person in the beam of light. Cheng Zixin was wearing a green dress today, which was very appropriate for the occasion.

In a green light, she was wearing a green dress, and green leaves gradually crawled up on her skin. Her hair turned brown, just like the aerial roots of a plant, and a small sapling slowly grew out of the palm of her hand.

As the beam of light disappeared, people were shocked.

"The human body shape hasn't changed much."

"It's like leaves growing on my skin and saplings growing on my palms, but it's pretty nice."

“Absolutely amazing!”

Everyone looked at Cheng Zixin, and some even stood up excitedly: "I am willing to try the effect of this magic robe for Miss Cheng."

However, the man’s parents immediately pulled their silly child aside, saying, “How could he be so reckless when he didn’t even know the specific effects?”

The healing divine robe is more cautious than the combat divine robe.

After all, it's okay if the nightmare beast is beaten to death, but if a person is injured by treatment, there may be no recovery.

Cheng Zixin didn’t seem to see this scene, smiled slightly, and said to Old Man Cheng: “Grandpa, I want to treat someone here today.”

Mr. Cheng: "Oh, who is it?"

Cheng Zixin walked towards a corner, and people followed her to look over, only to see her walk up to a mother and son.

The mother and son were both good-looking, but their skin looked a little rough, and they looked like laborers. Although they were dressed appropriately, they felt a little out of place sitting in this hall among so many distinguished guests.

Cheng Zixin: "Aunt, you have been suffering from illness for so many years. It's really hard. Now that your niece is able to treat you, I will definitely give you a healthy body."

Both Cheng Shuhui and Cheng's mother were shocked by this sudden change.

They were in the manor, so there was no reason for them not to attend the birthday party. They had to show up and tried to sit in the corner. They didn't expect that they would have their own part.

Mother Cheng hurriedly said: "No need, my body has been like this for so many years, cough cough..."

Cheng Shuhui also wanted to refuse, but when he saw his mother so weak, a faint hope arose in his heart. What if Cheng Zixin could really cure his mother?

The guests present all looked at each other in confusion: "Who are these two..."

Old Master Cheng sighed, "These are my poor niece-in-law and nephew. For years, they've guarded the ancestral home, unwilling to set foot on this sad place, the Capital Star. They've come all this way to celebrate my birthday. So, Zixin, if you can cure your aunt, I'll have done my duty to your great-uncle and uncle."

Everyone praised the old man for being kind to the younger generation and praised Cheng Zixin for respecting his elders.

"But where's Cheng Xuanyin? Her mother and brother are both here, so why isn't she here?"

"Didn't I hear that after she came back, she refused to recognize her biological mother?"

"She's learned bad habits. If she hadn't disappeared, how could such a happy family have broken up?"

"I can't believe that Cheng Jiaying, who was so charming back then, would have a daughter like this. It's a pity that he died young because of such a daughter."

Yan Wei was originally a little interested in the magic clothes, but after seeing this scene, he shook his head slightly. The Cheng family was really putting on such a show.

Suddenly, Tang Yekun came over and said in a low voice, "Major General Yan, come and see the latest divine clothing available in the Divine Clothing Store."

Um?

Yan Wei turned on his computer and saw what Tang Yekun had said. His eyes froze involuntarily.

The latest healing magic clothing: He Xiangu!

It can treat the sequelae of possession, side effects: none!

Yan Wei's heart couldn't help but get hot, and he stared at the word "nothing".

If this is true! If this is true...

What is Cheng Zixin's wooden spirit robe worth?

He then looked at everyone's flattery and enthusiasm for Cheng Zixin, and this was really interesting. Cheng Zixin was trying to use this magical dress to restore her name and reputation, but she didn't know that this would only shoot herself in the foot.

Over there, Cheng Shuhui listened to the discussion, his fists clenched. Cheng's mother also looked grim. She wanted to stand up and say something, but Cheng Zixin held her back: "Aunt, don't be impatient."

She raised her hand confidently, and the sapling in her palm grew visibly, surrounded by a green light, and then the branches stretched towards Cheng's mother's eyebrows.

Just as everyone was staring at Cheng Zixin, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "Stop!"

Then came the sound of breaking wind.

With a swish, Cheng Zixin's sapling was cut in half. She screamed, staggered back two steps, and looked towards the door.

Everyone looked over.

A young woman walked in with a sullen face and an imposing manner.

Xuanyin was wearing a slim-fitting bright white long dress with narrow sleeves tied with golden straps. A light golden lotus flower was blooming on her left shoulder, and two wide bands of the same color extended from the bottom of the flower, flying in the wind.

The waist is fastened with a golden belt, which makes the body look even more slender. The thick and well-draped skirt draws a beautiful and sharp arc when crossing the threshold.

She swept her eyes around the hall and then fell coldly on Cheng Zixin.

"Have you ever asked for my opinion on using my mother as a test subject for fame?"
