SBCEJM -Chapter 111 The “Wild Man” Father and Son See Daylight Again — Three Years of Despair Finally Broken

After seven days of riding at full speed, they finally arrived at Black Wind Cliff.

Feng Zexuan dismounted and walked to the edge of the cliff to look down.

The pitch-black abyss had no visible bottom. Cold wind howled upward from below, making one’s scalp tingle.

【System, are you sure they’re down there?】

【A cliff this deep… even if they didn’t die from the fall, they should’ve been smashed into pulp, right?】

The system replied calmly:

【Host, the cliff wall has an inverted funnel structure—wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.】

【When they fell, the slanted rock walls cushioned the impact, allowing them to slide safely to the bottom instead of crashing directly.】

Feng Zexuan unfolded the map she had exchanged for five hundred gossip points.

Sure enough, the terrain cross-section showed that the deeper the cliff went, the narrower it became.

A gigantic boulder had become wedged halfway down, completely sealing the only exit.

【System, give me a few rescue plans.】

【Plan One: Targeted blasting. Seventy percent chance of triggering a massive collapse.】

【Plan Two: Build a mechanical cableway. Requires at least seven days.】

【Plan Three: Individual teleportation. Cost: five hundred thousand gossip points per person.】

Feng Zexuan frowned.

She disliked all three options.

【Wait! Upgrade the portable space! Once it’s enlarged, I can directly absorb the boulder into it!】

【Brilliant, Host! Upgrade the portable space for five hundred thousand gossip points, and it can expand to a paradise-level dimension!】

Feng Zexuan’s heart ached for a second.

Five hundred thousand gossip points…

That could buy so many good things.

But saving heroes was worth it!

“Upgrade!”

The moment she entered the space, a thunderous rumble echoed outside.

She eagerly pushed open the apartment door.

What greeted her was no longer a wall, but a vast endless grassland!

A small stream babbled gently.

Blue skies and white clouds stretched overhead, warm sunlight spilling across the earth.

Distant mountains lay like ink paintings, while nearby grass rolled like emerald carpets.

【Holy crap! What kind of god-tier setup is this?!】

【I could totally become a local emperor in here! Raise cattle and sheep, farm vegetables, then retire from the world forever!】

【I could even build a hot spring villa and soak whenever I want… this is literally my dream retirement paradise!】

【Well? Isn’t the upgraded space amazing?】

The system sounded smug.

【Amazing beyond belief!】

Feng Zexuan gleefully ran around the grasslands for a while before reluctantly returning to business.

She activated her lightness skill and leapt off the cliff.

Then she pulled out a skateboard from her portable apartment and began gliding flexibly along the cliff walls.

The entire descent was a mixture of tension and excitement.

Half an hour later, she finally reached the gigantic boulder.

The rock was as large as a football field, covered with tens of thousands of stones of varying sizes.

【Holy crap, that thing’s enormous! How did the Xiongnu even push it down here?】

【Host, the boulder was already unstable to begin with. A few dozen people pushing together could move it.】

【To make sure the general and his son were truly dead, they even threw additional rocks down afterward.】

【That’s what you call eliminating the roots completely.】

Feng Zexuan touched the stone wall.

Granite.

Extremely hard.

There was no way humans could chisel through it manually.

【Now let me show you what dimensional superiority looks like!】

Taking a deep breath, Feng Zexuan activated the space-transfer ability.

In an instant, the massive boulder—along with the tens of thousands of rocks piled on top of it—vanished!

All of it was transferred into the upgraded grassland space.

【Perfect materials for paving roads and building houses! Waste recycling!】

After finishing, Feng Zexuan continued descending on her skateboard.

The deeper she went, the more sinister it felt, as though she were entering hell itself.

Another quarter of an hour later, she finally reached the bottom of the cliff.

Two filthy men with tangled hair and beards stood there blankly staring upward at the sudden beam of sunlight pouring in from above.

Their ragged clothes hung loosely from their bodies, and their skin was dark and rough.

They looked exactly like primitive cave men.

“This… this is impossible…”

The older man’s voice was hoarse beyond belief.

“Father, where did the giant rock above us go? Did immortals descend from heaven?”

The younger man was equally stunned.

The moment daylight suddenly flooded the abyss, they had rushed out from their crude stone cave in shock.

The gigantic rock that had sealed them in for three whole years… had disappeared.

And soon after, they saw an incomparably beautiful woman descend gracefully from the sky.

Her elegant movements resembled a celestial fairy descending from the Nine Heavens.

“An immortal! It must be an immortal!”

“Please save us, Immortal! We’ve been trapped here for three years!”

The wild-man father and son immediately knelt and kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads thudding loudly against the ground.

Feng Zexuan hurriedly helped them up.

【Wow, these two look absolutely feral! They could go straight into a wilderness survival documentary!】

【But surviving in a place like this for three years… their willpower is unbelievable!】

The two men froze upon hearing her inner thoughts.

But then they quickly accepted it.

After all, immortals possessing strange powers was perfectly normal.

“There’s no need for formalities. I’m not an immortal.”

Feng Zexuan waved her hand.

“I am the Northern Suppression King of Great Xia—Feng Zexuan.”

Both men were dumbstruck.

“What? A woman has become a non-imperial prince in Great Xia?!”

General Zhaowu asked with a trembling voice full of disbelief.

“It’s only been three years… how has the imperial court changed this much?”

His son looked equally shocked.

Yet after witnessing Feng Zexuan’s heaven-defying abilities, it somehow also felt natural.

A divine being like her—

Forget becoming a prince.

Even becoming emperor would not be surprising.

“I am General Zhaowu, Zhao Wuji. This is my son, Zhao Wudi.”

General Zhaowu did his best to tidy his appearance before solemnly cupping his hands in greeting.

“Many thanks to Your Highness for rescuing us. Had you not come, my son and I likely would’ve died here of old age.”

Feng Zexuan waved dismissively.

“A general who fought for the country deserves to be rescued at all costs. Besides, this was also His Majesty’s will.”

She glanced around.

At the bottom of the cliff there truly was only a small pond, along with some wild vegetables struggling to grow against the rock walls.

【These two surviving here for three years is more impressive than professional survival experts!】

【But if food and water were solved… then how did they handle bathroom issues?】

The question instantly made the father and son flush scarlet with embarrassment.

【Host, they dug a latrine in the corner and even built a simple stone screen around it.】

The system answered seriously.

“General, how did you endure these past three years?”

Feng Zexuan asked curiously.

“Did you ever think of escaping?”

Zhao Wuji gave a bitter smile.

“Your Highness, we tried every method imaginable. Climbing, tunneling, stacking stones… anything we could think of.”

“But the cliff walls are too steep, and without proper tools, escape was impossible. Especially with that massive rock sealing the top.”

Zhao Wudi nodded.

“There were even times we thought about ending our lives.”

“But we couldn’t accept dying in silence like this, betraying the comrades who fell in battle.”

“So we endured day after day, hoping that one day we would see the light again and avenge our fallen brothers!”

Hearing this, Feng Zexuan felt deep admiration rise in her heart.

【This kind of unyielding spirit really is rare.】

【No wonder a general like him could dominate battlefields so invincibly!】

The father and son heard her thoughts once more, their eyes turning complicated.

This Northern Suppression King was not only terrifyingly powerful—

Her heart was also extraordinarily kind.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll take you both back up now.”

Feng Zexuan opened the system panel and searched for a suitable ascending tool.

【Helicopter: fifty thousand gossip points. Too eye-catching. Too un-ancient-China.】

【Hot air balloon set: ten thousand gossip points. Carries up to five hundred jin and can rise one thousand meters. This one’s good!】

【Flight backpack: thirty thousand gossip points, but only usable by one person…】

“We’ll take the hot air balloon! Practical and not overly shocking for this era!”

The next second, a gigantic hot air balloon suddenly appeared within the cramped cliff-bottom space.

A colorful balloon canopy.

An exquisitely woven basket.

And an advanced combustion device.

The entire setup looked like a masterpiece of art.

Zhao Wuji and his son were so shocked their jaws nearly hit the ground.

“Th-this… what divine artifact is this? We’ve never seen such a marvel before!”

“It’s called a hot air balloon. It’ll carry us back up.”

Feng Zexuan explained calmly.

“Remember to keep this secret for me~”

The two men nodded frantically.

【At this point, they already think I’m an immortal anyway. Showing off a bit more advanced technology doesn’t matter!】

【It might even make me seem more mysterious and intimidating!】

She ignited the burner.

The hot air balloon slowly began inflating.

The massive colorful sphere looked especially magnificent within the narrow abyss.

“Come aboard, you two. We’re preparing for takeoff!”
