Shi Moning was not the least afraid of her icy-cold gaze. He pulled out a leaf from nowhere and clasped it between his lips. Then he roguishly looked at Feng Tianlan and said, “Beauty, looks can change but not body shape. And one’s aura will not change either.”
Feng Tianlan was still not speaking to him at all. She merely looked at him with cold indifference.
“Haughty. The arrogance oozing from those eyes of yours as you despise everything in the world with your belittling gaze, and that soft, slender body of yours. I, Shi Moning, am most familiar with the way of recognizing people. Unless you get so fat that your face has undergone a complete change, I will be able to recognize you no matter what you become.”
From the moment Feng Tianlan leaped to the front to block the regiment, he immediately recognized her from the back view. Her fighting stance, as well as the cold and indifferent look in her eyes, were the reasons why he could recognize her.
Feng Tianlan simply replied with nonchalance, “Is that so?”
Shi Moning bit into the leaf, then spat it out next to him. “It’s okay if you don’t bring us along. But we are being hunted down all because of you. I didn’t know where you were before, so there was nothing to confess. But now, I can confess, I’m not a good man, so don’t think that I will keep mum and simply die just to protect you. I’m not a fool like my brother.”
Feng Tianlan cast a cold look at him. She had never thought of him as a good person.
Shi Moning continued to bite the leaf. “Don’t you believe it either. I supposed those killers would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let a single person go. And mind you, we are being hunted down all this time, and it’s all because of you.”
If he had known that he would be hunted down in the first place, he would not have followed her here. Then Shi Yiqing would have been killed while he could have become the head of the Shi family. And he would not be hunted down like now, where he was running all about to escape for dear life.
“I can kill you now.” Feng Tianlan raised her cold gaze and the look in her eyes carried a cold, murderous intention.
Shi Moning felt his entire body shudder from the look in her eyes. But he simply smiled and said, “Sure. Just kill me. I’m going to die anyway, so I might as well die at the hands of a beauty like a Peony flower, at least I can be a ghost with a romantic touch.”
Feng Tianlan saw how Shi Moning was still in the mood to play rogue at this point in time. She glared at him and said coldly, “We are setting off tomorrow.” Then she turned around and left.
After seeing that Feng Tianlan had turned around, Shi Moning spat out the leaf in his mouth. He was scared to death. The look in the eyes of this beauty was truly terrifying. If not for the bet that she would not kill innocent people, he would not have taken such a risk and gambled with her so boldly.
Shi Moning cleared all remnants of the chewed-up leaf in his mouth and replaced them with a new leaf. Then he smiled rascally and said, “The beauty is not that ferocious after all.”
In the past, she had killed people without even batting an eyelid, but at least, she still had a conscience and would not take innocent lives indiscriminately. But it was still a good thing that he had never done anything to offend her before, or else there was really no way he could strike a bet with her.
However, it was not necessarily the same for that crippled Chen Xinlu. She had offended Feng Tianlan, and now, she had become a cripple. If she were to continue acting up without self-restraint, then her life would not last long.
Though she had brought them with her, Feng Tianlan did not care much about them. She simply went back to her room.
“Xiao Lan’er, are you really going to bring them with you?” Mei’er propped her arm on the table and leaned over so that she was closer to Feng Tianlan, who was sitting across her. “It can’t be that you’ve taken a fancy to the little beauty, right?”
Feng Tianlan looked at the human flesh in front of her, that bosom that threatened to burst right out of the seams, and calmly reached out to help her pull her clothes properly in place, thus hiding her exposed chest. Then she said, “Those killers are after me. Because they were the last people I met before I entered Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge, so the killers hounded them without respite as they wanted to trace my whereabouts.”
“Isn’t that still the same as being hunted down?” Mei’er reached out and tugged at the piece of clothing that had just been pulled together for the sake of propriety. Then once again, she was revealing that voluptuous chest that she was so proud of.
