Domineering Woman

Chapter 4: The Spirit Connection Potion

Feng Wuxie played the role of a fool as she was led to Feng Wuxia’s room. Once inside, Feng Wuxia shut the door tightly and instructed a maid to draw water for both of them to bathe. They first cleaned the filth and pig dung from Feng Wuxie’s body, then prepared another batch of hot water mixed with a potion-like liquid, taking quite a while to get everything ready.

"Why are you bothering with such a thorough bath for her?" the maid complained. "Look at her—she’s just a fool. Bathing her only contaminates our precious Spirit Connection Potion." She continued grumbling, "That potion is so rare. There are only three vials in the entire Feng family!"

The Spirit Connection Potion was an incredibly rare bath potion in the Strange Continent, known for alleviating pain and promoting wound healing. Feng Wuxia glanced at the maid with a lazy sneer. "What do you know? Since Feng Wuxin failed to kill her and she just made such a scene in front of the servants, it will be hard for the family head not to know about her when he returns. Since we can't get rid of her, we need to make sure our esteemed elder sister looks presentable to welcome the family head and secure her position as the heir."

The maid looked at her as if she had heard a joke. "Sister, don’t be ridiculous. She’s just a fool. Letting her become the heir will only disgrace the Feng family."

Feng Wuxia looked at the maid as if she were an i***t. "Do you think it's easier to deal with a fool as the heir, or someone as competent as Feng Wuxin—our elder sister?"

The maid seemed to understand and flattered, "Third Sister may be foolish, but Elder Sister has only talent in cultivation but lacks brains. Otherwise, she wouldn’t keep bullying Third Sister in front of everyone, resulting in her lack of favor with the family head despite her potential. Only you, Second Sister, with your high soul art level and ability to protect Third Sister in front of the family head and servants, have earned his favor. As for the fool, we don’t need to worry. Once she becomes the heir, we can find a chance to get rid of her and frame Elder Sister for the crime. With both obstacles removed, everything will fall into place."

Feng Wuxia smiled with satisfaction. "That’s more like it. I’m pleased with your understanding."

She paused and continued, "Since Feng Wuxie is so filthy, the Spirit Connection Potion can only save her life and help her wounds heal quickly, but those scars on her face will never go away. In the future, she will be known not only as a fool and a waste but also as an ugly woman!"

With that, Feng Wuxia couldn’t help but chuckle.

Feng Wuxie, being a skilled military doctor from the 21st century with sharp hearing, heard every word of the conversation despite the low volume. Even with the screen between them, she could clearly hear everything.

However, she remained impassive and continued bathing in the Spirit Connection Potion. The potion caused a slight stinging sensation on her wounds, similar to the feeling of alcohol disinfecting a wound in the 21st century. But this potion was not alcohol—it was a deep blue liquid with a faint, pleasant aroma. As the liquid touched her wounds, a foul black blood oozed from them, and signs of healing began to appear.

Feng Wuxie noticed the remarkable effect and decided to immerse her face in the potion as well. Sure enough, the gaping wounds on her face also released black blood.

She was amazed by the potion's effects—it was practically a detoxifying and beautifying liquid! It expelled toxins and made her feel refreshed, with no worries about infection. It was truly rare for Feng Wuxia to use such a valuable potion on her. It would be a waste not to make full use of it.

Feng Wuxie submerged herself completely in the Spirit Connection Potion, soaking thoroughly from head to toe.

As she bathed, she wondered what benefits being the heir might bring besides the obvious advantages within the Feng residence. Why was everyone in the family so eager to attain that position, even to the point of betraying their own kin?

However, the original Feng Wuxie’s confused memories offered no clear answers.
