Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and bore into him like he was an ant. Then, she looked at Tu Xiupei, whom he was holding in a princess carry. Based on the affection in his eyes, he thought that he was holding onto treasure.
“Whatever my little sister may have suffered today, I will see to it that you undergo hell that’s a hundred times worse.” As he was in the direct line of Feng Tianlan’s domineering pressure, the man felt slighted. So he left with Tu Xiuyu after delivering this threat.
She was just a young girl! How could she have such a strong presence? She was clearly much smaller than him, but her regal, commanding eyes struck fear into his heart. It made him queasy.
Chuling scanned the team of twenty or thirty-strong, all riding on demonic beasts. She immediately worried, “Miss, they…”
The team was fully equipped with demonic beasts. They could not afford to offend these people. They were not simple like Tu Xiang. Moreover, behind them was the top-level sect of the Guiyuan Continent. It was only natural that countless geniuses from all over the world would flock to their doorstep.
“He is Qi Shujie, the Young Master of the Flying Frost Pavilion. As an Advanced-stage Spiritual Grandmaster, he will soon break through to the stage of Spiritual King.”
A chilly voice came from behind, causing Feng Tianlan to stiffen at once. Si Mobai slowly approached her and stopped at her side. Sensing how tense she was, he reached out and slipped his hand over her slim waist. “I’m hungry. Accompany me to lunch.”
Chuling did not take a single step as she watched Si Mobai fly away with Feng Tianlan in his arms. Why did she feel like something was not quite right between His Highness and Miss? Were they fighting?
Meanwhile, at the Spiritual Foods Restaurant, Si Mobai gracefully filled a bowl with soup. He asked in an icy voice with just the tiniest trace of gentleness, “We have only been apart for a couple of days. Did you miss me so much that you couldn’t sleep and lost your appetite?”
Feng Tianlan raised her gaze and shot him a warning glare.
“You’ve lost weight. When I hugged you, you even seemed a little bony.” Si Mobai placed the bowl of soup in front of her. “Eat more and put some meat on your bones.”
Feng Tianlan was determined to ignore him. She sipped her soup quietly and watched him serve her favorite dishes. Deep down, she was a little miffed. How could he act as though nothing had happened after threatening her like that?
Si Mobai pointed to his dark circles and swollen face. “I’ve been a little busy these few days, so I wasn’t able to visit.”
Feng Tianlan remained silent.
Si Mobai had all the time in the world. He picked up her favorite dishes and snuck a bite as he fed her. He spoke as he ate, explaining why he’d been so busy lately. He appeared exactly like a husband reporting his day to his wife. He even nearly shared how many times that day he’d gone to the bathroom!
“I thought I smelled spilled blood the moment I walked in,” Feng Tianlan interrupted Si Mobai, who was speaking non-stop. If she left him to it, he might seriously drone on about how many times he’d visited the toilet.
Forget it. What Si Mobai had said the other day was just talking tough. Furthermore, he was furious because she had threatened him with her own life. She would be the bigger person and let it go.
A smile graced Si Mobai’s lips to see that Feng Tianlan was finally willing to make conversation. “They have killed over half of the criminals locked up in prison.”
“Hmm?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at him, puzzled. How had anyone killed on Si Mobai’s turf? Wasn’t that too arrogant?
“Those were all men who’d slept with Tu Xiupei. It’s only natural that she would want to silence them. Besides, everyone locked up in jail is a heinous crackhead. They are not a force to be reckoned with.” A grain of rice was on Feng Tianlan’s lips. Si Mobai reached out and removed it, then he put it in his own mouth. “We’ll make them even more enemies. That way, they’ll be better practice targets for you.”
Si Mobai had taken food from her lips so naturally that the gesture made Tianlan flush red. Flustered, she gave up trying to digest what he was saying. She buried her head in her rice bowl and cleaned it. How could he eat something from her lips so casually?
“Now, there is a flushed face that I can call cute.” Si Mobai’s mood brightened at once. However, he quickly remembered her blood-flushed face from the other day. His peach flower eyes became icy at once.
