Ferren shouted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to announce!"
Everyone stopped moving and focused their attention on Feren.
Without pausing, Ferren declared, "Amelanda is my lover, and she's carrying my child!"
For a moment, the nobles present were stunned. Having a lover was not unusual, but to announce it openly in public was rather strange.
Surely Ferren isn't going to marry her?
Some of the noblemen who had tried to flirt with Amelanda became uneasy, wondering if Ferren would be angry about it.
Some noble ladies sighed inwardly. Ferren was outstanding in temperament and demeanor, and had long been the object of their affections. Unfortunately, they had not yet received a response when Ferren announced his partner in public. It would be inappropriate to approach him now.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Ferren ripped off his coat and threw it on the ground, followed by his vest, shirt, and then started tearing his pants.
Amelanda was quick, but her gown was much harder to remove. After several tugs, she only managed to pull it down to her waist, revealing her inner lining and tight corset.
This scene left everyone present dumbfounded and speechless.
Exclamations arose as the noble ladies covered their faces with their hands or feather fans, seemingly unable to bear the sight, yet unable to resist peeking through their eyes.
"My God!" the butler screamed in terror, shouting frantically, "Stop the young master!"
A group of servants quickly put down what they were carrying and surrounded him.
In the blink of an eye, Amelanda was captured.
No matter how much she struggled and screamed, she couldn't break free and was carried out of the banquet hall by several servants.
The servants could stop Ameranda, but they couldn't stop Faerûn.
A faint white light enveloped Feren; he had even used his battle aura, instantly throwing away the servants who were grabbing him.
Then, he swung his arms, jumped and hopped, and began to twist and turn wildly.
Great! Very wild!
Alphonse's lips curled into a sinister smile as he silently gave himself an assessment.
"Go and summon the guard knights!" the butler roared again.
Several servants quickly ran out of the banquet hall.
With no one to disturb him, Feren danced even more energetically, even moving closer to the noble ladies present, seemingly intending to have a close interaction with them.
Screams erupted everywhere as the noble ladies scattered in panic.
This farce didn't last long. As soon as several knights arrived, they used their fighting spirit to pin Feren down and carry him away.
The butler, with a mournful face, bowed to all the guests. "Distinguished guests, I'm so sorry! Our young master was drunk and caused this mess. Please forgive him. Please keep this a secret and don't spread it around. The banquet is over."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
He told the guests present to keep it a secret, but whether anyone listened is unknown.
Alphonse estimated that the scandal involving Feren and Ameranda would surely become a laughing stock in aristocratic circles.
That's enough to make them suffer.
In the past, having traveled such a long distance, one would definitely need to stay overnight.
But the castle was in chaos, with servants running around everywhere, and it seemed there was still a lot of commotion going to happen.
The people who had attended the banquet were leaving in twos and threes, and Alphonse also planned to return to Coldwind Territory overnight.
It's more comfortable at home.
You give it to Luda!
It was already morning when we returned to Coldwind Territory.
Alphonse sent Mia and the two soldiers to rest.
Just as I was about to go back to my room, I learned from the maid that Taisi hadn't returned all night.
According to the telepathic connection of the slave contract, Taisi should be in the mountains of Coldwind Territory, but the exact location is unknown.
Being too far away, I couldn't give him commands through telepathy.
He must be investigating monsters.
It's enough to know he's alright.
He travels all year round, so living a nomadic life is not a problem for him; there's no need to look for him.
Alphonse instructed his maid not to disturb him unless it was urgent, and then returned to his room.
But it wasn't for resting.
There's only a short distance left to connect the last Yang meridian; I have to finish before I can feel at ease.
Just like playing a game, when you're about to level up, you can't sleep at all if you don't level up.
Alphonse lit the incense in the incense burner, then sat cross-legged beside him, focused his mind and energy on his dantian, and quickly entered a meditative state.
The vital energy circulated once and rushed straight to the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang.
Time flies.
During this time, countless scorching energies entered his body and merged with his true energy.
Knowing it was harmless, Alphonse didn't bother with it and focused on channeling his energy.
Suddenly, the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang was fully opened.
The vital energy circulates and flows back and forth, entering each of the yang meridians.
The first level of the Innate Formless Divine Skill has finally been mastered!
With all six Yang meridians open, the resulting increase in true Qi is not simply a matter of adding one plus one. When they are connected, they can form a small cycle, greatly increasing the true Qi and speeding up its circulation.
Alphonse slowly opened his eyes.
I felt that the whole world had become much clearer. Not only were the colors richer, but I could also feel many subtle details that I usually overlooked. Even the slightest changes in the sound of the wind could not escape my keen hearing.
Alphonse wasn't surprised; with his divine skills just beginning to take shape, there were bound to be some unusual signs.
Get used to it.
The only drawback is that I feel extremely hot all over, and my inner fire is becoming increasingly intense.
This is normal; when one cultivates the Yang meridians alone, how can the heart fire not be strong?
With a slight lift of his hand, a faint, dark light appeared on his palm, with a subtle metallic sheen.
It is one of the unique skills left behind by the extraordinary Yan Kuangtu, the Mysterious Heaven Black Gold Palm.
It's finally usable.
He was able to unlock the mechanism of the treasure left behind by Yan Kuangtu by comprehending the Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm from the treasure map.
Now, having been reborn and revived, I can't help but feel a little emotional when I use this palm technique again.
However, at this moment, the Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm was not even at the minor level. The black light formed by the true energy was almost imperceptible. To reach the ultimate level, the entire palm would have to turn into a metallic color, capable of splitting gold and shattering stone, and being indestructible.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong; there seemed to be a faint reddish tinge on my palm.
This is not the state that the Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm should be in.
But in his previous life he practiced other martial arts. Could this be the original form of the Xuan Tian Wu Jin Palm when he first started learning it?
Alphonse felt somewhat puzzled.
But this is not the time to dwell on this.
The problem of excessive internal heat needs to be resolved before trying out any new techniques.
Alphonse bent over, his hands on the ground, his head against the floor, and he was upside down, head down, feet up, his body taut.
He focused his energy at the top of his head, maintained his balance, and then slowly withdrew his hands, crossing his arms over his chest.
This also has a purpose, called "reversing the order of things".
