The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness Chapter 726

Chapter 726 - Honestly, I’m Scared, but I Like You

When Xiao Xiao heard their conversation, she asked out of curiosity, “Big Brother Lan, have you all heard of Huan Jiejiu before?”

Feng Tianlan made a sound of acknowledgment and replied nonchalantly, “I was the one who crippled her leg.”

“…” Shivers ran down Xiao Xiao’s spine. Big Brother Lan was really savage, but, looking at Chen Xinlu, she felt that she’d deserved it.

Mei’er chuckled, and when she realized that she could finally speak again, she couldn’t help but grin. “Could it be that Shi Yiqing has taken a liking to you and that she hates you because of it?”

Feng Tianlan felt a pair of cold eyes behind her and figured that Si Mobai had probably heard what she said and was plagued with jealousy. Thus, she hurriedly muttered, “That isn’t the case.”

Mei’er grinned. “How many suitors have you stirred up? From what I see, Shi Moning has also recognized you. Tell me, if the Demon King finds out, what’s going to happen to you?”

Feng Tianlan felt the piercing gaze behind her grow even colder, almost to the point where she felt as if she’d been frozen into a pillar of ice. She hastily lifted an arm to give Mei’er a tap. She had to stop talking. If she kept this up, Mobai would get angry and drag her straight home to punish her.

After waiting a short while, Xiao Xiao asked in surprise, “Eh Mei’er, why have you stopped talking?”

The corner of Feng Tianlan’s lips curled upward. She decided before entering the city that she wasn’t going to let Mei’er open her mouth to talk. Otherwise, Mobai, that jar of vinegar, would immediately flip and she’d be drowned to death.

Although the journey into the city was smooth, Feng Tianlan knew that the assassins were getting larger in number and that their skills were getting stronger. It was only because of Mobai’s protection in the background that they were kept at bay. He eliminated them before they had the chance to draw close.

Between the suburbs and the city, the road was only a few kilometers long. However, there were at least twenty to thirty throngs of assassins nearby. Even though she’d changed her appearance, the intensity of their ambushes had increased—possibly because Shi Yiqing had seen them the last time.

She didn’t dare to let her thoughts wander. If she wasn’t disguised, she definitely wouldn’t be allowed to enter the city alive, even if a few hundred waves of assassins had to be sent to kill her.

Under the identity of Feng Tianlan, she hadn’t offended anyone the first time she’d come to Xuantian Continent, apart from the Shi Family and the Chen Family. So who was it that was so bent on sending her down the path of death, and why?!

Every time Shi Mobai annihilated a wave of assassins, his face became colder, and he became more murderous. With every group of assassins, he’d always leave one alive. Whenever he interrogated them, they would always say that they were assassins hired by him.

He had no idea why such a horde of assassins had been sent after them.

If it weren’t for Lan’er’s strong faith in him, her trust would slowly waver in the face of such a multitude of assassins. Then, her trust would turn to doubt, and in the end, her heart would become cold. If that happened, he’d no longer be able to clear up the misunderstanding between them.

Such was a sinister and frightening scheme. When he found out who the person behind it was, he would definitely reduce them to a pitiable state!

Feng Tianlan and the group escorted the goods to the designated location before finding a guesthouse to stay. This time, she got a room to herself. By that point, it was already nighttime.

The moment she stepped through the room doors, a white silhouette immediately flashed in and the doors were locked with a thud. That towering figure drew close to Feng Tianlan and pressed her against the wall. The faint smell of peppermint wafted into her nose.

“Lan’er.” Shi Mobai’s eyes stared straight into her own. His eyes were filled with guilt and panic. Whenever he thought that she might believe the words of the assassins and lose her, he’d feel a cold lingering fear overwhelm him.

Apart from the times when Lan’er’s life was in danger, he’d never experienced panic to this degree before.

Feng Tianlan stretched out her arms and hooked them around his neck, angling his head downward. Then, the corner of her lips curved upward. “Mobai, to be honest, I’m scared. But because I like you, I believe in you. Because you’re worth it… oh.”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt his hands tighten around her waist, and her entire body was wrapped more tightly in his embrace. The tip of his tongue parted her lips and slipped past her teeth, entangling with her tongue…

“Ride this, my beloved consort!” Instantly rewarded with a punch in his charming face. He looked hurt, “I just wanted you to try out the mythical beast mount!” Having died a cruel and excruciating death in her past incarnation, she was reborn into a body imbued with an impeccable talent for cultivation. A good-for-nothing? Fire, water, ice, wind, thunder, and nature; switching between the six elements is easy as pie. Supreme grade pills? She scatters them in the air like candies. Legendary beasts? They’re begging her to form a contract. She is the arrogant Queen almighty! You say that heaven is undefiable? Then she will defy it! “Bad news, my Lord! The consort has beaten the Empress of the Heavenly Phoenix Nation into a pulp!” He raised an eyebrow and brimmed of pride, “It’s nothing. Send a million troops to back up my beloved consort. Tell them that I’m the one who’s pampering her!”
