Her long hair was shortened, and her facial features became more resolute.
As the light faded, the two opened their eyes and looked at each other in surprise.
Xiao Feng has completely transformed into Feng'er's appearance, while Feng'er looks exactly like Xiao Feng.
"Truly amazing," Xiao Feng exclaimed softly in the voice of the wind.
Feng'er smiled slightly: "Remember, don't give yourself away."
Feng'er straightened her clothes, then opened the door and looked around to make sure no one was there before leaving the room.
Xiao Feng prayed that everything would go smoothly and that nothing unexpected would happen.
"I hope I can get the elixir successfully."
When the auspicious hour arrived, Xiao Feng and Feng'er emerged from their respective rooms.
Xiao Feng carefully imitated Feng'er's mannerisms and slowly walked towards the main venue of the wedding.
Feng'er deliberately slowed down, pretending to be Xiao Feng and following behind at a leisurely pace.
They walked down the red carpet under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
On both sides of the red carpet, guests cast their best wishes.
"The bride is so beautiful!"
"A perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
First, the two bowed to the city lord and their elders to express their gratitude for being raised.
Xiao Feng carefully controlled his movements, afraid of revealing any flaws.
Then, the couple bowed to each other.
Just as the final step was about to be completed, Feng'er, disguised as Xiao Feng, suddenly spoke up, interrupting the ceremony.
"Wait!"
The scene fell silent instantly, and all eyes were on her.
She looked at the city lord and said in a calm but unquestionable tone, "City lord, give me the pills I need."
The city lord was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
He hadn't forgotten his promise to Xiao Feng, but he hadn't expected Xiao Feng to be in such a hurry that he would ask him for it at the time of their marriage.
Without the slightest hesitation, a knowing look appeared on his face. He readily took out an exquisite jade box from his pocket and handed it to Feng'er.
"I've been preparing for this for a long time, and I hope it will be of some help to you," the city lord said with a smile.
"Can we continue now?"
Looking at the pills, Xiao Feng nodded.
The wedding ceremony was simple. Xiao Feng disguised himself as Feng'er and completed the final ritual with the city lord.
His heart was pounding like a drum, afraid that someone would see through his act.
Fortunately, the city lord seemed to be immersed in joy and did not notice anything amiss.
After the ceremony, Xiao Feng was helped back to his new house.
He suppressed his anxiety and waited for an opportunity when no one was around.
Finally, the wedding procession dispersed, and Xiao Feng immediately got up and quietly left the room.
He was very careful, afraid of running into the patrolling guards.
Soon, he arrived at the place where Zhao Yuwei and Sima Yan were.
"Yuwei, Young Master Sima, are you there?" Xiao Feng called out softly, while cautiously looking around.
"Is...is it Miss Feng'er?" Zhao Yuwei's weak voice came from inside.
Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, quickly opened the door, and slipped inside.
He took out a jade box from his bosom, took out two crystal-clear pills, and handed them to the two men.
"Quickly take this; it will lock in the spiritual energy leaking out of your bodies," Xiao Feng said urgently.
Zhao Yuwei and Sima Yan exchanged a glance, then took the pills without hesitation and swallowed them.
A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
"It really works!" Zhao Yuwei exclaimed. "I feel the spiritual energy in my body is no longer running around randomly."
Sima Yan nodded, his complexion noticeably improved.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the city lord kept his word this time and provided genuine medicine."
Zhao Yuwei looked at Xiao Feng with gratitude and was about to thank him when Xiao Feng raised his hand to stop her.
"Time is of the essence, so I'll get straight to the point," Xiao Feng said in a low voice. "I am actually Xiao Feng, but I'm disguised as Feng'er. You all need to leave the City Lord's Mansion immediately; I'll be there shortly."
Zhao Yuwei and Sima Yan were taken aback by what they heard, but they quickly calmed down.
They understood that now was not the time to ask questions.
Xiao Feng's disguise as Feng'er indicates that he definitely has some kind of plan.
"Be careful yourself, we're leaving now," Zhao Yuwei said solemnly.
However, she still looked at Xiao Feng with some worry.
Xiao Feng gave her an affirming look, then said, "Be careful, and don't get caught."
The two dared not delay and quietly left the room.
As Xiao Feng watched Zhao Yuwei and Sima Yan leave, the heavy weight in his heart finally lifted.
But then he started to worry about Feng'er again.
That girl is now facing the city lord alone; I wonder how things are going?
"No, I have to go find Feng'er right away!" Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and immediately turned and ran towards the courtyard.
In the courtyard, moonlight poured down like water, shining on a blue stone slab.
Several ancient trees stood in the corner, their branches and leaves swaying, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
In the very center is a small artificial hill, and next to it is a small fish pond with a few lotus leaves floating on the surface.
At this moment, Feng'er, disguised as Xiao Feng, was standing in the center of the courtyard with the city lord.
The city lord wore a strange smile, his hands gripping "Xiao Feng's" shoulders tightly in a claw-like shape. Streams of pale blue light were drawn from "Xiao Feng's" body, gathering like threads in the city lord's palms.
"Ah!" Feng'er let out a painful growl, her face as pale as paper.
She felt her life force slowly draining away, and her whole body was trembling.
Even so, she gritted her teeth.
"Just a little longer," the wind whispered to itself. "If I just hold on a little longer, it will all be over."
Just then, a roar as loud as thunder rang out: "Stop!"
Xiao Feng rushed into the courtyard, panting, and was instantly enraged by the scene before him.
He clenched his fists, veins bulging, as if he wanted to rush up and punch the city lord right away.
The city lord looked up upon hearing the sound and saw "Feng'er" arriving, and couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
"Wind, don't worry about it, things will be accomplished soon," he said sinisterly, a mad glint in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng knew that he could no longer hide his identity.
He suddenly waved his hand: with a "bang", the illusion was instantly dispelled.
A flash of white light appeared, and Xiao Feng returned to his original appearance.
"Who do you think I am?" Xiao Feng said coldly, his gaze fixed on the city lord like a knife.
When the city lord saw this, his eyes widened in shock, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
He turned his head in disbelief to look at the "Xiao Feng" who was drawing immortal power from him. Sure enough, the person also broke the illusion at that moment, revealing Feng'er's true appearance.
"This...how is this possible?"
The city lord stammered, his face displaying a fascinating array of expressions, shifting rapidly from shock to fear to anger.
In the instant the city lord was stunned, a ruthless glint flashed in Feng'er's eyes.
Despite the excruciating pain, she quickly pulled a sharp dagger from her sleeve.
Taking advantage of the city lord's momentary lapse in attention, Feng'er suddenly stood up and, with all her might, plunged the dagger into the city lord's chest.
With a "plop" sound, fresh blood gushed out.
