Chapter 264
The only difference might be that her attributes were significantly different from those of the players sent to supervise the Heifei. So, even though Su Yitong could severely injure the Dinghai players with every strike, she couldn't kill them outright.
It wasn't until the Su family was completely wiped out that Su Yitong began to focus on eliminating the Dinghai players. After waiting a while, Yu Xunge finally decided to act. As a dozen Dinghai players lay gravely injured and on the brink of death, she lifted the effect of her skill, "I’m Not Human Anymore," and unleashed a lightning net to block Su Yitong's attack on the Dinghai players. "Su Yitong!"
At the same time, Zhao Shuying, who had been called in to work overtime, finally arrived. As she dove to the ground, she used her skill to teleport all the Dinghai players away.
Su Yitong looked up at Yu Xunge in the air. With a flick of her orange-red wings, she soared upward, stopping directly opposite Yu Xunge.
Under the moonlight, her nearly four-meter wings of light spread wide. They stood facing each other, their orange-red wings gently flapping, the light feathers flickering like flames, igniting the night sky. The players on the ground looked up, and it seemed as if vast swathes of fiery clouds had appeared in the night sky.
Though Su Yitong and Feng Mu bore no resemblance to each other, seeing Su Yitong's face again made Yu Xunge momentarily think she was looking at Feng Mu. The expression on her face was strikingly similar to Feng Mu's.
In her previous life, Su Yitong was the first heroine in Yu Xunhuan's story. Her demeanor matched every fantasy a man could have of a "proper wife." She was grand, elegant, dignified, and pure. With a prestigious family background and a divine talent for being an exceptional support, she was adored and cherished. Her presence was commanding, and her beauty was breathtaking.
Even with her almost pathological possessiveness, she would ultimately yield for Yu Xunhuan.
Her pain, her emotional knots, at certain moments and junctures, transformed into a kind of allure. The more obsessive and pathological her possessiveness became, the stronger the sense of accomplishment she felt at the moment of compromise.
She was a different color from Liang Yuchuan, the opposite of the wings they had now acquired. Liang Yuchuan was like a flame, while Su Yitong resembled a forest sea—seemingly inclusive and full of life, yet deep down, a brutal struggle for survival and bloody conflict played out constantly.
But the "Feng Mu" she had known in the tower was not like that. The "Feng Mu" in the tower was a blazing, domineering flame, a sun too fierce for others to gaze upon.
The Su Yitong before her now was so similar to the "Feng Mu" she had spent over a decade with. No, there was no difference at all...
Even if their appearances were different, their expressions and aura were the same—powerful, resolute, confident, and fearless. Anyone could see that she had once held a high position of power, capable of deciding the fate of countless lives with a single word. Many had been willing to die for her, and her mere presence embodied authority itself.
Yu Xunge refrained from saying anything grandiose to make herself the embodiment of justice; that would be overdoing it.
The first thing she said was what she truly wanted to express: "Do you think that by killing them, by erasing your past, you can truly become Feng Mu?"
Su Yitong laughed at her. "You’ve only been Feng Ran once, and you’re already concerned about me."
Clearly, she could distinguish between the different Feng Rans.
But it was evident that she couldn't tell the difference between herself and Feng Mu. The words that came out of her mouth were actually in the language of the oak owls, not Chinese anymore, which made Yu Xunge doubt whether her lie was unnecessary.
Yu Xunge shook her head. "I know who I am. I haven’t lost myself."
That experience was indeed beautiful, but for her, it was like visiting an amusement park, playing an interesting game, and starring in a heartwarming movie—nothing more.
After a brief pause, she added, "I’m not concerned about you. I just think you’re pitiful."
"Pitiful?" Su Yitong was utterly astonished, her eyes filled with shock, confusion, and disbelief, as if she had heard a beggar pointing at a wealthy person and calling her poor. She even chuckled before retorting, "Isn’t that a good thing? That way, they can truly accept me."
Yu Xunge replied, "But..."
Su Yitong coldly and abruptly interrupted her, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that what they want isn’t me, but Feng Mu. But I’ve said it before: I am Feng Mu!"
Feng Mu wanted to resurrect through her body, and how could she not want to replace Feng Mu, to seize Feng Mu's life?
Yu Xunge understood her intention. Her voice was calm, but her words were brutally harsh: "But that’s all a lie."
Once again, Su Yitong found herself laughing at Yu Xunge. The look in her eyes was filled with the affection and tolerance one would have when looking at Feng Ran. It was as if she was certain Yu Xunge would become Feng Ran. She said, "So what? Feng Mu has everything I desire. What does it matter if it’s real or not?
"Feng Tang and Feng Cang made me realize that I can be 'seen,' that I can be loved without conditions. My joys and sorrows, my efforts, my anxieties, my desires, my competitive spirit—they all see it. They only worry about not giving me enough, never about taking away what belongs to me!"
Su Yitong lowered her gaze, looking down at the Su family engulfed in flames, at the corpses strewn across the ground, as if she were looking at something filthy.
"Yitong, such a casual name, devoid of any expectations or blessings.
"And 'Mu'! You’ve lived in the tower for so many years. You know the Mu tree; it’s the most beautiful, precious, and sturdy species in the forest sea. With careful nurturing, it can grow into a towering giant in less than a hundred years, withstanding fierce winds and sheltering delicate plants and fruits.
"In the tower, Feng Tang forbade any oak owl from using the character 'Mu' in their name for my sake. This had never happened in the history of the oak owls.
"Now, Feng Ran, tell me, what difference does it make if it’s real or not?
"I’ve investigated you. I remember, Yu... something fruit... those people had no sincerity towards you. Those trash-like feelings can’t compare to Feng Tang and Feng Cang even a fraction! They are your true family!
"Feng Ran, come with me to Zelan. Mother and Feng Cang are waiting for us to come home."
In three hundred years, she had seen too many "Feng Rans," some of poor quality, some perfect, some clumsy and laughable, and some who seemed to play the role of saints! Only the one before her was recognized by Feng Tang, Feng Cang, and even Feng Ran herself. And whoever they recognized, she would recognize too!
Yu Xunge immediately raised her gun. "You’re crazy."
The moment was ripe; she no longer hesitated and charged at Su Yitong. She had to end this hatred tonight; she couldn’t let Su Yitong escape!

Not long after she refused to resurrect Feng Gao's child, Feng Tang gifted her an A-level skill. With a gunshot, the bullet rapidly split in mid-air, transforming into a rain of fireballs that fell like a torrential downpour. Each split bullet would cause a small explosion upon hitting an obstacle, with a 10% chance of triggering an auto-lock tracking effect.
This skill not only enveloped Su Yitong but also had the potential to blow up the Su family—there were five stragglers left in the Su manor.
Su Yitong deftly dodged the skill.
Having been Feng Mu for three hundred years, carefully nurtured by Feng Tang, Su Yitong was no longer the Su Yitong of the past. The whip was like an extension of her hand, flicking, slashing, lifting, sweeping, entangling, prodding, blocking... She was the next leader of the "Afternoon Tea" that Feng Tang had personally trained!
The quality of the whip wasn’t particularly good; it was likely a weapon from before she entered the tower. But the whip's tail bore a giant blade shaped like a scorpion's tail, entirely made of fire elements. This was Feng Mu's SS-level skill, [Scorpion], which Yu Xunge had seen countless times in the tower.
Yu Xunge had once asked "Feng Mu" at the dinner table why she didn’t use a spear, the king of weapons on the battlefield.
"Feng Mu" had just taken a bite of bread and hadn’t had time to answer, so Feng Tang replied for her: "She likes it. As long as she likes it, I will make her favorite weapon the king of weapons in her hands. You too, Feng Ran. Everything you like, Mother will help you obtain."
But in terms of combat skills and talent, Yu Xunge was already superior to Su Yitong. After being taught by Feng Tang for three hundred years, Su Yitong had never stopped improving, thanks to various combat talents and experiences she had exchanged for!
Moreover, having returned to reality from the tower, Yu Xunge's attributes completely overwhelmed the current Su Yitong. Just based on the difference in attributes, a single hit could kill Su Yitong instantly.
However, she had only been Feng Ran for ten years, while Feng Tang had given her over a dozen skill books. What about Su Yitong, who had spent three hundred years by Feng Tang's side? Her skills were nearly endless.
After several attempts to bring Su Yitong's health below 1% without managing to kill her, she realized what divine talent skill Su Yitong had drawn after acquiring her orange-red wings.
The third skill of [Snowflake Pastry].
[Master Pastry Chef]: The Master Pastry Chef never fails. After using this skill, your current state will be saved. For the next ten minutes, you can actively rewind infinitely, and whenever your health drops below 1%, you will automatically rewind; casting time is 0.1 seconds, cooldown time is one natural day.
This skill was the most practical one in Feng Mu's divine talents!
Unfortunately, such drawn talent skills were in the skill library, not on the character panel. Otherwise, Yu Xunge would have risked exposure to use [Moment of Reversal] to swap for this skill!
As for Su Yitong's Holy Light talent, it was indeed good, but not worth her using [I Could Just Steal It]. Not to mention Holy Light, she wouldn’t even spare the complete [Snowflake Pastry]; she would only use that skill on an SSS-level divine talent.
Wait, what about the [Hope] skill in [Holy Light]?
