Instantly, his booming aura started to simmer into coldness. After staring at Bai Liyue for a long time, the aura of the Great Demon King finally seeped out.
“What do you mean? Are you throwing a tantrum at me on purpose? You clearly like to eat seafood porridge, but you insist on saying that you like to eat vegetable porridge in front of the doctor. You’ve never touched vegetable porridge before, have you?”
Bai Liyue looked at Feng Shengxuan as if she wanted to seal away the reflection of this person into the depths of her heart. Only when Feng Shengxuan started feeling uncomfortable at her stare did she say, “Actually, I’ve never liked seafood. It was because I saw that you liked to eat seafood that I said I liked to eat it too. What I really like is vegetable porridge.”
Feng Shengxuan, “…”
Seeing Bai Liyue explain in such a serious tone, Feng Shengxuan wanted to ask her why she did she choose to reveal this now.
However, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Damn it.
He was the one who rescued Bai Liyue, but why did it feel like he was the reason Bai Liyue suffered such serious injuries? Why did he feel like a scumbag now?
Recalling his actions, every time Bai Liyue looked at him in that particular way, he would reject Bai Liyue directly just like how Nuannuan had rejected him. He made sure that he would not let her have any fantasies about him.
How was he trash?
“Bai Liyue, do you wish to ignore me?” Feng Shengxuan asked.
“No,” Bai Liyue said softly.
“Are you still angry because I gave myself stomach cancer?”
Bai Liyue then looked at Feng Shengxuan austerely and answered in a faint voice, “No, don’t worry. I’m not angry anymore. I was wrong to treat you like that previously. As your subordinate, I shouldn’t have treated you like that. This is my fault, I’m sorry.”
Feng Shengxuan, “…”
It felt like his fist had landed on a ball of cotton, and the conversation had no way to continue.
This was also the first time he had been rebuked by Bai Liyue. Feng Shengxuan was fuming inside, but looking at her pale face and the hideous wound on her back, the usually hot-tempered Feng Shengxuan managed to swallow his anger. In this mood, he would usually be mean to everyone except Nuannuan.
“It’s good that you know you’re in the wrong. Rest well now. Nuannuan will rush over after her livestream ends.”
Bai Liyue’s eyes lit up when she heard Nuannuan’s name. “Nuannuan’s here too?”
“Of course. After Nuannuan found out that you were in danger, she immediately followed me to Yamato to save you. Apart from Nuannuan, Aiden, Selina, and Dan Qi came along too.”
‘Then, why are you the person staying watch here?’
Bai Liyue wanted to ask him that, but she did not. After all, this man was willing to give up his own life for Nuannuan. What was the point of asking?
Seeing that she did not speak, Feng Shengxuan told her everything about how they rescued Bai Liyue from the very beginning. He omitted the part on how he had been frantically searching for her the whole time, along with the part where he went berserk as the Wute Organization surrounded him. He lifted Nuannuan so high up that Nuannuan might as well be a god.
“If not for Nuannuan, you would’ve frozen to death in that crevice.”
Bai Liyue quietly listened to Feng Shengxuan as he spoke about Nuannuan.
It was only when he mentioned Nuannuan that he would talk so much to her.
Normally, Bai Liyue would have joined in the conversation, and they would continue talking about other matters after branching out from talking about Nuannuan. Therefore, Bai Liyue was the only person in the manor who could chat with Feng Shengxuan sincerely.
