Yan Yan’s smile was so awkward that her face looked as stiff as a rock.
Feng Wu chortled at Feng Xun’s words!
“Who was that? Who’s laughing?!” Yan Yan glared at the crowd!
She immediately spotted Feng Wu, who was standing by the essence-gathering tower. That girl had just seen what a fool she had made of herself! Yan Yan felt all the blood rush to her head and she was utterly humiliated!
She flared up right away.
“Wh- why are you laughing?!” Yan Yan pointed at Feng Wu. “You’ve been an eyesore all along! Tell me your name now! Were you laughing at me?! Who gave you the courage to laugh at me, the daughter of the minister on the Board of Civil Office and the Grand Council?!”
As a matter of fact, Yan Yan hadn’t found out Feng Wu’s name yet.
Feng Wu ignored Yan Yan. Instead, she turned her piercing gaze to Feng Xun and smirked. “Young Lord Feng, it’s been a while.”
Feng Wu’s stare sent a chill down Feng Xun’s spine and his stomach lurched. After giving Feng Wu an awkward smile, he promptly turned in the opposite direction and tried to flee.
With her quick hands and sharp sight, Feng Wu caught Feng Xun by the back of his collar immediately.
Yan Yan watched with wide eyes!
What… what was going on?!
Her cousin was the young lord of Northern Feng Mansion and the best friend of the crown prince, but this girl had grabbed him just like that!
Her cousin was as much a neat freak as the crown prince was. He had pushed Yan Yan away almost immediately when she took his arm just then. How dare this girl take him by the collar? That was audacious in the extreme!
Yan Yan was expecting her cousin to throw the girl over his shoulder and right over the city wall, but —
She watched in disbelief as Feng Xun turned around with a wry face and looked at the girl with puppy-dog eyes. “Feng Wu, little Feng Wu, let’s, let’s talk like civilized people. A gentleman, I mean, a lady reasons things out, and doesn’t use violence. Could you maybe let go of me first?”
There was no shoulder throw, nor was there any righteous reprobation. All he did was plead for mercy.
Plead? Her wilful and arrogant cousin was actually pleading with Feng Wu… Wait, Feng Wu?!!!
Yan Yan’s eyes widened as she stared at Feng Wu. “You’re Feng Wu?! The genius girl that used to be as talented as His Royal Highness, who turned into a good-for-nothing? That Feng Wu?!”
Feng Wu ignored Yan Yan. Keeping her piercing and threatening gaze on Feng Xun, she asked, “Where is my brother?”
Feng Xun raised both hands in the air in a gesture of surrender. “Xiaoqi is fine. He’s absolutely safe, I swear. Nothing’s going to happen to him, but he’s on his way to the imperial capital already and you won’t be able to see him for now…”
Feng Xun darted a pleading glance at Jun Linyuan as he spoke.
He remembered that day when Boss Jun said with a frown, “I hope Bao Er didn’t get sick again while we’re away.”
Feng Xun said right away, “That can be easily solved. We can send Feng Xiaoqi back to the imperial capital first. If Bao Er is sick, Feng Xiaoqi’s blood will be able to make her a little more comfortable. Plus, with Feng Xiaoqi in the imperial capital, Feng Wu will have to follow him there. Hahaha, I’m such a genius —”
Well, the genius had been caught red-handed by Feng Wu.
All of a sudden!
Light flashed in the sky above the center of Frozen Forest.
“Demonic Blood Dragon! Oh god, it’s really a Demonic Blood Dragon! I saw its image in the sky just then!” Feng Xun’s eyes twinkled. “Immortal Spiritual Fruit isn’t the only thing we need in order to cure Bao Er. The blood of the Demonic Blood Dragon is also on the list!”
