With that kick, Chen Xinlu’s felt all her energy leave her, and she threw up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Chen Xinyi was extremely moved when she heard Feng Tianlan’s words. Her eyes were misty with tears, and yet the affection in her eyes was clearly visible. “Master Shen.”
Master Shen had unexpectedly flipped out on Lu’er, and it turned out that he’d done it to stand up for her. Master Shen wouldn’t have stood up for her on her behalf if he didn’t have any feelings for her.
Hence, she definitely wasn’t going to give up on him. She needed to ensure that Master Shen returned to normal by teaching him that he actually liked women and that there were advantages to being with a woman.
When she saw the deep affection in Chen Xinyi’s eyes, Feng Tianlan cleared her throat a few times and hurriedly explained herself. “Don’t overthink things. I simply can’t stand people like this. Also, I’m already engaged to my future husband.”
She truly hated those younger sisters who bullied their elder sisters, or the idea that the younger should yield to the older one. In her previous life and her current life, she’d had to suffer at the hands of her younger sister. Now that she’d met this kind of sister again, she could hardly stop herself from snapping her to death.
Chen Xinyi bit her lip and nodded. “I understand.” Master Shen was someone who said something but meant the other. He was also someone deeply infatuated with the Demon King, not a heartless lad. The Demon King’s influence spanned the entire world. There was no way Master Shen could resist him.
No worries. What Master Shen didn’t dare to do, she would do herself!
“Mei’er, help me explain things to her. I shall take my leave first.” Feng Tianlan could no longer stand Chen Xinyi’s affectionate gaze. She hastily fled upstairs and hugged Si Mobai’s waist. “Let’s go.”
Si Mobai locked his arms around her slender waist and directly leaped out of the window. They flew in the direction of the imperial palace. There was thinly concealed coldness in his voice. “You attracted another one?”
When he’d heard that love-struck voice, he had itched to go over there and beat them up!
Feng Tianlan shook her head. “I didn’t. It’s not like you don’t know. In both my previous and current life, I suffered at the hands of my younger sister.”
Si Mobai lowered his head and looked into her eyes. After all was said and done, his heart hurt for her. After suffering a miserable death in her previous life, she’d learned from her mistakes. Otherwise, who knows what kind of suffering she would’ve endured in her current life. This made his heart ache, and he decided not to investigate the matter regarding the suitors she’d roused.
Si Mobai was a Prime Supreme Spiritual Practitioner. Even though the defenses protecting the imperial palace were air-tight, they were no match for him. Even if they spotted him and wanted to block him, the moment they saw that iconic zhusha mole on his face, they would give up all thought of doing so.
He was the Master of the Bailan Alliance. Who was so ignorant as to attempt and block his path!
He brought her all the way to Zhaoyang Palace, where he put her down.
The sudden intrusion into the palace by strangers had alarmed the palace guards and maids. They frantically exclaimed that an assassin had descended, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a watertight barrier surrounding them.
Si Mobai lifted his eyes and coldly scrutinized the crowd. “This King is an assassin?”
When they caught sight of his iconic zhusha mole and his deity-like appearance, they respectfully clasped their hands together. “Demon King.” After which, they conscientiously dispersed, not a single person remaining behind. They had all automatically ignored Feng Tianlan, who was standing by his side.
They’d all assumed that the Demon King had missed Princess of Zhaoyang, and that he had specially come to pay her a visit.
A palace maid speedily ran into the inner court to report to Xi Lin, who was sitting before a window and staring blankly at the scenery outside. She reported, “Princess, the Demon King is here to see you.”
“Demon King?” Xi Lin arched an eyebrow. Her hand paused midair and she asked indifferently, “What is he here for?”
“Naturally, he’s here to meet the Princess.” The palace maid responded. After all, the Princess was the person the Demon King liked.
Xi Lin pursed her lips. When she recalled the letter that he’d previously sent, she finally decided to stand up. “All right. You may take your leave. You don’t have to serve any tea. Make sure that no one’s around.”
The Demon King’s visit this time most likely had to do with Dai’er, but it’d be best if she still went to meet him.
The rumors that were spreading amongst the people regarding the love poem and the affectionate relationship between the two of them were all unfounded. If it hadn’t been for Dai’er, she would’ve gone out a long time ago to clear up these rumors.
