Chapter 268
No wonder Feng Tang and Feng Cang were so generous with her, willing to gift her skills. Were they certain that Feng Ran would be reborn through her and merge with her? Or were they trying to impress her, hoping she would yearn for that family just like Su Yitong? Unfortunately, Ganbei had left a backup plan...
At that moment, Yu Xunge thought of Su Yitong's intentions: "Is there really no other possibility? Like, one of us devouring the other?"
Feng Ran pondered for a few seconds, her tone uncertain. "Maybe there is, but I don't know. I died too early. Even if you wake me up, my time in the tower was too short, and I didn't have enough time to gather information."
"Is that so..." Yu Xunge weighed the pros and cons of this deal. After a moment, she pointed out the most critical question, "How can I be sure that after your resurrection, the orange-red wings will still remain with me?"
She was willing to risk being possessed by Feng Ran just to accept the wings. Wasn't that the whole point? If the wings were gone, mastering the true Ganbei would be useless, let alone changing all her lightning skills and controlling them freely.
"Don't worry," Feng Ran said. "I have a brilliant idea. We can both win."
"Go on."
"You kill me right here, then resurrect me. After that, we can go to the Bird's Nest and swear to become partners, and you'll grow new orange-red wings. This way, my wings will still be intact, and you, my friend, will have hit the jackpot."
"Just go peacefully, Tu Lan! Soul Shock!"
It was terrifying. The thought of marrying Feng Tang's daughter and Feng Mu's sister had too many pitfalls to even mention. What if Feng Ran unilaterally broke off the engagement later? Under the pressure of Feng Tang, the tyrant, the Bird's Nest in Four Seasons City might favor her, declaring her the betrayer and turning her magnificent wings of light into mere little wings...!
Oh my god… Just imagining it made her break out in a cold sweat, a fear unlike any she had ever felt!
How cruel!!
Feng Ran shouted, "Tu Lan, I have something to say! I have another brilliant idea!"
Tu Lan actually stopped what he was doing, and Yu Xunge thought the skill called "I Have Something to Say, Your Majesty" was simply outrageous...
Feng Ran quickly said, "You got the skill 'If I Say the Cotton Candy Isn't Expired, It Isn't Expired,' right? You help me find a fresh corpse of a divine-gifted female owl with an S-level talent, then you use your Soul Shock to kill me, and from the party list, you can resurrect me. I can awaken from that corpse using my skills."
It was possible, but Yu Xunge had a question: "Why does the divine-gifted talent have to be S-level?"
Feng Ran sighed. "I thought you would understand me..."
Yu Xunge: "..."
Tu Lan: "You want everything, just like you."
Yu Xunge: "Thanks for your enthusiastic translation..."
Tu Lan: "You're welcome."
Yu Xunge: "So, can your spirits be resurrected and gain the divine-gifted talent from the corpse?"
Feng Ran: "Exactly. Our state is nicely called 'spirits,' but it's really just parasitism. Previously, we were parasitic in the tower, and now we are parasitic on you tower climbers. If I merge with you, we can gain each other's divine-gifted talents and skills. If you separate me, I can be reborn from another corpse, using the lingering soul of the other as nourishment. But in that case, I can only inherit the divine-gifted talent that follows the soul."
No wonder Feng Tang was willing to give her so many skills in the tower...
Feng Ran tried to persuade Yu Xunge: "Just based on how much you've helped me, when Feng Tang and Feng Cang see your orange-red wings, even if they know you're not me, they will definitely soften a bit."
Yu Xunge remained silent. That was hardly enough to sway her. She and the owl were fundamentally opposites; a little softness wouldn't change anything. Once interests were involved, that softness was useless. Feng Tang was not someone who acted on emotions; that softness wasn't worth her time, and finding an S-level owl was no easy task.
She thought this, and she voiced it.
Feng Ran's voice carried a hint of surprise as she asked, "Don't you have any longing or attachment to our family? You feel nothing for Feng Tang, Feng Mu, and Feng Cang? They're so good to you... don't you want to get closer to them?"
Yu Xunge countered with an even more astonished tone, "Why would I long for something that's fake?"
Seeing that Yu Xunge was completely uninterested in this line of reasoning, and that her plan to gain something for nothing was failing, Feng Ran fell silent for a moment before giving a reason that could truly convince Yu Xunge: "As long as you help me find an S-level divine-gifted owl as my new body, besides the wings, the universal language, and the complete Ganbei, when I leave the orange-red wings, I can also give you a cotton candy skill, but it will be random, and I can't control it."
"Deal!" Yu Xunge finally agreed to Feng Ran's request. "But does it have to be an owl?"
Feng Ran exclaimed, "Not an owl? What's the difference from being disabled?"
Yu Xunge & Tu Lan: ?
Yu Xunge: "I can work with you, but you have to teach me Ganbei and 'Mastery of 555 Universal Languages' first, and also, don't remove me from the party."
Feng Ran: "I can't leave the party; it's my hope for resurrection. I'm in a soul state, and if I'm not on the party list, you can't use the resurrection skill on me... So, only you can resurrect me, and only we can use this method."
Yu Xunge believed her. Even if she used the skill "See" to look at Feng Ran, she still couldn't lock onto her. She had even thought of trying to use a stealing skill to see if she could take something.
"Do all spirits team up with tower climbers?"
"Not really. The moment you accepted the task and connected with me, my 'Super Sixth Sense' activated a forced team-up skill on you. I don't know about other owls, so you can pay first, but you can't leave the party."
Feng Ran's trust was clearly beyond Yu Xunge's expectations. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't have paid first, and without even signing a contract?
Yu Xunge's internal alarm bells rang: "You trust me this much? This is offbeat for me." Could there be a trap?
Feng Ran said, "Oh, I have a skill called 'Trading Fair.' Once we make a deal, as long as I pay the price, you have to help me, or I can apply for a refund."
Yu Xunge: ...
**Chapter 358: Trade & Destroy the Han Family**
She was tired of being envious. Previously, when Feng Tang frequently gifted skills in the tower, it was exhilarating, but now, facing the real Feng Ran, she felt a pang of jealousy.
Yu Xunge: "So if you apply for a refund, can I return the goods?"
Feng Ran: "No, only the buyer can apply for a refund. But don't worry, once a refund is requested, the goods must be returned."
In the next moment, a light screen appeared before Yu Xunge and Tu Lan.
**The Owl Spirit Feng Ran has initiated a trade with you.**
**Item: Revive Feng Ran using an S-level divine-gifted female owl as material.**
**Price: Complete Ganbei, Feng Ran's orange-red wings, one cotton candy divine-gifted skill, and a transmission of mastery over 555 universal languages.**
**Do you accept this trade as the seller?**
Feng Ran added, "And even if I apply for a refund, you can refuse. If we can't convince the other party, we can appeal."
Yu Xunge's curiosity was piqued: "Who will arbitrate?"
Feng Ran: "This skill was given to us by my mother, so she holds the previous link of the skill, making her the arbitrator."
Yu Xunge & Tu Lan: ...
Tu Lan was about to explode: "Should we just kill her?"
Feng Ran's voice was filled with distress: "Sigh, but if you want to kill me, I can only self-destruct with the orange-red wings in advance."
Yu Xunge didn't throw a tantrum. She hugged the furious Tu Lan, who had grown larger in anger, and said, "I can't agree to a trade with such great risks."
Feng Ran wasn't being provocative; she genuinely wanted to reach a deal with Yu Xunge: "So what do you suggest?"
Yu Xunge asked, "How many times did you transmit the 333 universal languages to Feng Tang?"
Feng Ran replied, "Once. It can only be done once; otherwise, I would have given it all to my mother."
That made sense. If it could be done unlimited times, it wouldn't be her turn. Yu Xunge said, "Alright, I want to be the buyer. Change the complete Ganbei to 'All the information about Ganbei as told by Feng Tang.'"
Feng Ran muttered, "...You're really greedy!"
After a moment, the information on the light screen changed.
**The Owl Spirit Feng Ran has initiated a trade with you.**
**Item: All the information about Ganbei as told by Feng Tang, Feng Ran's orange-red wings, one cotton candy divine-gifted skill, and a transmission of mastery over 555 universal languages.**
**Price: Revive Feng Ran using an S-level divine-gifted female owl as material.**
**Do you accept this trade as the buyer?**
There were also some trading details below, just as Feng Ran had said, only the buyer could appeal.
Yu Xunge was uneasy and asked, "Can Feng Tang see this trade content?"
Feng Ran didn't lie: "Yes."
Yu Xunge frowned. That meant she had to resolve this matter quickly before Feng Tang returned. She said, "Can you send a part of the goods first to save time? Teach me the complete Ganbei first."
The trade was established, and resurrection was in sight. Feng Ran readily agreed, "Of course!"
This time, Yu Xunge chose to accept.
Now the biggest problem was finding an S-level divine-gifted owl... Images of Feng Mu and Feng Cang flashed through her mind.
