Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 57 – Best friends can be toxic!
Fang Feixue's efficiency was undeniably high.
In just a few days, she and Jiang Chuyao had become inseparable sisters.
With the secret support of Gu Feng's Spirit Stones, the two of them had practically explored every corner of Yong'an City.
They shopped crazily for cultivation artifacts, rare treasures, and even various trinkets and clothing, as if money were no object.
Jiang Chuyao had lived in Yong'an City since childhood and had hardly ever ventured beyond its borders. She longed for the world outside the city.
Fang Feixue, having once followed the Chen Long Army on expeditions, would occasionally share stories of the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Barbarian with her.
Of course, all of this was done under Gu Feng's specific instructions.
While Gu Feng and Murong Ze were enjoying tea, Fang Feixue happened to be browsing a clothing store in the city with Jiang Chuyao.
"Sister Feixue, is it true that the Southern Barbarian demon clan has eight major tribes, including a pig-headed, human-bodied demon clan?" Jiang Chuyao asked curiously.
Fang Feixue paused, recalling the battles with the Pig Demon Clan in the Southern Barbarian, and couldn't help but feel a bit nauseated.
These pig demons were massive and incredibly strong!
They often emitted a foul, sour stench, making fighting them a truly unpleasant experience.

They were naturally violent, with adult pig demons sporting long tusks. When they encountered a lone cultivator from the Eastern Region, they would swarm and devour the cultivator, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.
Of course, Fang Feixue wouldn't share these details with Jiang Chuyao.
Gu Feng had instructed that when with Jiang Chuyao, only the wonders and beauty of the outside world should be discussed, omitting any cruel or terrifying details...
"Ah, yes, not only are there pig demons, but also fox and ape clans, which are major tribes of the Southern Barbarian demon clan. They're quite fascinating!" Fang Feixue forced a smile, trying her best to describe the Southern Barbarian demon clan as endearing. She didn't want Gu Feng's plan to fail.
After paying fifty Superior Grade Spirit Stones, Fang Feixue received a white cloak as thin as a cicada's wing from the shopkeeper.
This cloak, named "Mist Veil," was an Earth Rank protective cultivation artifact, but its practicality was low. Yet, it was something many female cultivators coveted.
This was because it was crafted from the tail feathers of the Exotic Beast Xuantian White Phoenix. When worn, it created a halo effect around the wearer, making them appear ethereal, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Of course, the price was exorbitant, and if Gu Feng hadn't been footing the bill, Fang Feixue wouldn't have spent such a fortune.
She draped the "Mist Veil" over Jiang Chuyao, and immediately, a faint iridescent halo appeared around her. Fang Feixue quickly praised, "Sister Chuyao, your natural beauty paired with this artifact makes you even more enchanting."
"Really?"
Jiang Chuyao, with her girlish heart, twirled around in delight.
Nodding, Fang Feixue replied, "This artifact is a gift for you, sister."
"Thank you, Sister Feixue!"
The two girls, arm in arm, left the shop satisfied amidst the shopkeeper and staff's compliments.
In recent days, Fang Feixue had given Jiang Chuyao countless gifts, and no girl could resist such a bombardment of sweet gestures.
Though Jiang Chuyao was the City Lord's daughter, the Jiang family's monthly allowance was limited. While she lived comfortably, she never dared to be as extravagant as she was now.
To support Fang Feixue's efforts, Gu Feng spent a fortune, giving her ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones, with the sole aim of winning over Jiang Chuyao as soon as possible.
Initially, Fang Feixue had some concerns, but now it seemed the results were excellent!
She couldn't help but admire Gu Feng's cunning.
"Sister Chuyao, you've lived in Yong'an City for so long, and the Northern Wilderness is just a thousand miles away. Have you ever been there?" Fang Feixue asked tentatively.
Jiang Chuyao shook her head, replying, "I've lived in Yong'an City since I was young and have never ventured beyond its ten-thousand-mile radius."
"That's truly a pity."
Deliberately shaking her head, Fang Feixue sighed, "I once visited the Northern Wilderness border with my adoptive father. The scenery is breathtaking, especially Little Mirror Lake, where fields of flowers stretch for miles, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers all year round, like a paradise on earth..."
Jiang Chuyao listened, entranced with longing.
Seeing her interest piqued, Fang Feixue quickly seized the moment, continuing to entice her: "And the thousand-mile Witch's Village at the Northern Wilderness border has simple folk and warm hospitality. The endless fields of Gu sources are a thousand times more beautiful than anything in the Imperial City."
"And those various Gu insect pets are truly adorable!"
"Really, Sister Feixue?" Jiang Chuyao asked excitedly.
Nodding sincerely, Fang Feixue suppressed her guilty conscience.
She did all this for Gu Feng, knowing that his future path would be fraught with challenges. Since she had accepted him in her heart, she had to follow in his footsteps without any hesitation.
"It's just that I never imagined that Yong'an City is only a thousand miles from the Northern Wilderness border, yet you've never been there. It's truly a shame."
Fang Feixue shook her head, her face full of regret, playing her part so well that she seemed to have learned a thing or two from Gu Feng.
Jiang Chuyao thought for a moment, feeling a bit displeased. She had lived in Yong'an City for over a decade, yet she wasn't as worldly as an outsider like Fang Feixue.
More importantly, Jiang Chuyao considered herself a descendant of the Imperial City, of noble status, while Fang Feixue was merely a guard by Gu Feng's side.
Women are naturally competitive and love to compare.
Especially someone like Jiang Chuyao, a young lady who had never faced major setbacks?
Gu Feng had her completely figured out, and everything was part of a meticulous plan.
An unusual silence brewed between the two women.

Fang Feixue's eyes flickered, knowing the time was ripe. She quickly broke the silence, saying, "Oh! By the way, I heard that in a few days, your Jiang family will send a caravan to the Northern Wilderness border Witch's Village for trade. Why not take this opportunity to go along and enjoy the beautiful scenery there?"
Upon Fang Feixue's suggestion, Jiang Chuyao's heart raced with excitement. She was no longer content with just hanging around Yong'an City and was eager for adventure. But the thought of her father made her head spin.
She sighed in disappointment, saying, "Oh, Sister, you don't understand. My father definitely won't agree to let me go with the caravan."
"Why not!"
Fang Feixue smiled, saying, "Everyone knows City Lord Jiang dotes on you. As long as you insist, I'm sure he won't stop you."
Pausing, Fang Feixue changed her tone, saying, "Besides, there will be Jiang family guards along the way, and I have many friends in the Witch's Village. At worst, I'll accompany you, so you'll have someone to rely on!"
A series of persuasive words left Jiang Chuyao dizzy with excitement. She nodded, filled with fantasies about the so-called endless beauty of the Northern Wilderness border.
Determined, Jiang Chuyao smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go back to the Imperial City Mansion and talk to my father. If he doesn't agree, I'll just sneak into the caravan!"
Seeing the plan succeed, Fang Feixue finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "That's great! I'll go back and pack up. This trip, we'll have a blast together! It's a deal!"
"Yes! It's a deal!" Jiang Chuyao nodded with a smile.
At this moment, she was determined to join the trip. Otherwise, missing out on the Northern Wilderness border's customs was a minor issue, but losing face in front of Fang Feixue was a big deal!
The two strolled around the streets a bit more but found it dull. After returning to the Imperial City, they bid each other farewell.
Jiang Chuyao went straight to the City Lord's mansion to negotiate with Jiang Aonan.
Fang Feixue flew back to the guest room, just in time to meet Gu Feng, who had also just returned.
The two exchanged a glance.
Gu Feng asked, "All set?"
Fang Feixue rolled her eyes and replied, "I followed your grand sequence's decree, so how could there be any problems? That girl should be pestering City Lord Jiang right now."
Silently giving Fang Feixue a thumbs up, Gu Feng couldn't help but praise her, while inwardly reflecting.
"They say besties are toxic, and it's true!"
