“Yeah, that’s true.” Nan Xian stood beside the girl. His gaze on her was warm, with a hint of gentleness.
“We’ll leave the spirit beast mountain tomorrow.” A glint flashed through Feng Ruqing’s eyes. “I have to find Xiao Ya no matter how and what it takes.”
Xiao Qing spoke feebly, “Princess, did you notice that the girl I’ve bitten looks a bit like Tang Yin?” Her shamelessness was a little like Tang Yin’s too.
Feng Ruqing raised her eyebrows. “Did you notice as well?”
“Not only their appearance but even their scents are also alike. We spirit beasts are very sensitive to this. She might have some relation with Tang Ying.” There was suspicion in Xiao Qing’s eyes. “But why would Tang Yin be related to anyone from Land of No Return? Isn’t she from Cang Yue Mainland?”
Moreover, Tang Yin was a beastman while Lianyi was fully human.
Feng Ruqing patted Xiao Qing’s head. “Your senses aren’t bad. My instincts are telling me the same. So… When the time comes, I have to ask about Lianyi’s background thoroughly.”
Just as Feng Ruqing was about to speak again, she saw Feng Lianqing leading the little prince over.
The little prince was cringing slightly. It was not until they left the cave entrance that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the spirit beasts would pounce at him and swallow him alive just now.
Compared to Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian, those spirit beasts… were way scarier.
At least these two people would not swallow him alive.
“Feng Lianqing.” Feng Ruqing stood up. “Do you remember what you have promised me today?”
Feng Lianqing was stunned. After some thought, he understood what Feng Ruqing was referring to.
“You mean Lianyi?”
“Yeah.” Feng Ruqing’s lips curved slightly. “How much do you know about her?”
Feng Lianqing glanced sympathetically at Nan Xian before quickly retracting his gaze and saying in all seriousness, “Lianyi isn’t a good woman.”
There was silence.
“She likes to eat garlic, is always picking the bottom of her feet, and has an athlete’s foot. She would even fart while she ate. Oh, she doesn’t like children. You’re pregnant, so she’ll bully your child.”
There was still silence.
“So, a married woman like you shouldn’t be interested in her!”
Feng Ruqing was stunned. What did her being married have anything to do with her interest in Lianyi?
“I just want to know… about Lianyi’s background.”
“Her background? I’m not too sure. Just think of her as an orphan. There’s no need for you to meet her parents anyway. You’re a married woman. Please restrain yourself!”
Feng Ruqing was a little confused. She just wanted to inquire about some information about Lianyi. What did that have anything to do with her being a married woman?
“Feng Lianqing!” She gritted her teeth.
Feng Lianqing looked troubled. “I really don’t know. She met my master before me. Back when I started following my master, she was already in General Manor. I can be considered her childhood friend, but we didn’t come from the same place. I wouldn’t know even if you asked me.”
“Oh.” Feng Ruqing pouted. She had saved this man for nothing…
“How dull. Nan Xian, let’s take the leopards with us later.”
Upon hearing that Feng Ruqing was about to leave, the little prince cried as he pounced over and hugged her leg. “Goddess Sister, don’t leave me behind. Bring me along! Feng Lianqing is too weak. If I follow him, my life will be in danger. Those spirit beasts keep eyeing my fats.”
Feng Ruqing lifted her leg to kick the little prince away. “Get lost, male being!”
