Such an intense kiss made her feel embarrassed and caused her to experience a slight difficulty in breathing. The heat caused by the close contact of their bodies made her feel extremely bashful. The fear from her nightmare had long gone.
He slowly let go of her when he realized his kiss made her unable to catch her breath. His red lips paused over her red swollen lips reluctantly. “Lan’er.”
This kiss had been initiated by her, and somehow that made him unable to hold himself back.
His deep voice was filled with unsatisfied desire, causing Feng Tianlan to shiver as she let out a soft “uh-huh”.
“I didn’t let go of you before and I will never let you go from now on.” Si Mobai hugged her tightly. He never even considered the possibility of letting her go. After receiving her response to him, he was even more reluctant to let her go. From the moment that she initiated the kiss, there was no turning back.
No matter who she liked before, she only belonged to him the moment she had kissed him.
Feng Tianlan did not say anything. She leaned into his arms, listening to his heartbeat and smelling his cooling mint fragrance. Beside her ear, she heard his deep rough voice. Such peace was just what she had been yearning for.
Then in an instant, she started recalling every scene from her dream and the two people that she saw right before she fainted. Her gentle eyes instantly turned blood-red.
“Xi Jin is here?” Feng Tianlan asked faintly. If she remembered the events correctly, that should be him, right?
Si Mobai felt his full heart and the blissfulness of that moment get instantly torn apart by these words. “He is here. He was here to save Tu Xiupei that day.”
He was the one who saved Lan’er. How could he let Xi Jin take credit for that?
“There are two people following him?”
“Yes.” Although he was not happy with her asking about Xi Jin, he didn’t want to agitate her just as she had come around.
“Oh.” Feng Tianlan’s eyes turned cold instantly and she clenched her fists. They were really Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying. She had been right. They were actually here in Guiyuan Continent. Were they here to confirm her death because they were worried that she did not die completely? Were they planning to kill her again?
Feng Tianlan bit her lower lip and clenched her fists when she remembered losing her mind the moment she saw them. Blue veins stood out on her pale white hands.
“Lan’er?” Si Mobai called her softly. He felt her murderous aura rise once again, just like it did before she fainted. Who was the one causing all these emotional fluctuations in her?
Feng Tianlan was distracted from her hatred immediately. Her tightly curled fists unclenched slowly. “What happened to me?”
She needed to stay calm. She had to act like a complete stranger in front of them. She couldn’t be like she had been before. If she were to do that, she would die at their hands once again, before she could get her revenge.
“You fainted from major emotional fluctuations and then you had nightmares for about an hour.” Si Mobai looked at her with a brokenhearted expression. “Lan’er, what did you dream about?”
The words that she had been shouting in her sleep were the same few words. But in actual fact, she had been having nightmares for one full hour.
Feng Tianlan’s body stiffened as her pupils dilated slightly again as if she was back at the scene in her dreams. Her skin was being peeled off by Jiang Ying and her eyes were getting dug out by Shen Yunya. She had dreamt that Brother Jin ate a bowl of dumplings that were made from her flesh despite her pleading him not to. She dreamt about her parents demanding to know why she hadn’t avenged them but treated her enemy as if he was her own father. She had dreamt about Si Mobai getting killed.
“Mobai, I…” Feng Tianlan raised her head and wanted to express all of those things to him. But the moment she thought about the scene where he had been killed, she was instantly doused in a bucket of cold water, calming down completely. “I am fine.”
In her dream, she was killed by Shen Yunya. And then she caused Si Mobai’s death. She would definitely be the cause of his death. So ultimately, she couldn’t tell him the truth. She had to hide it.
