The Tempestuous Consort - Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 1093

Chapter 1093: So I Have Spoilt Her, What’s Wrong With That?

Deng Hu had never thought of Feng Tianlan as a threat, even though the power she exuded was more overbearing than his own and she belonged to Si Mobai.

Among those from the Bailan Alliance, he only needed to be wary of the Demon King. He did not need to care about the rest of them—Feng Tianlan included. She was just a woman and a wise man did not incur the wrath of a formidable enemy just because of a woman.

“So, Your Supremacy intends to ignore what is right and wrong, and just kill me for revenge?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Deng Hu without showing any fear.

Deng Hu felt two pairs of ice-cold gazes turn to him. It gave him a chill and made him tremble, making it hard to sit still. He found it difficult to respond to Feng Tianlan’s words.

What Ya’er did was indeed well known by the entire world. Even the most brutal and evil man would agree that she deserved to die. If he proceeded to kill Feng Tianlan, who was the victim, in spite of that, he would be perceived by all to be in the wrong. He would then be deemed as incapable of differentiating right from wrong, and this would damage his reputation.

“You must have bullied her for her to treat you like that. Therefore, you have still erred,” Deng Hu said unyieldingly. Regardless of everything, he had to avenge the death of his beloved disciple somehow.

Upon hearing what he said, Feng Tianlan laughed. “Perhaps Your Supremacy could explain, in what way have I bullied her? I imparted skills to her, taught her how to refine pills, and brought her to meet the Crown prince and the others. I doted on her and spoilt her. Is this all my fault?”

“Taught her skills? Taught her pill-making?” Deng Hu thought he heard a hilarious joke and scoffed, “As a Good For Nothing who can’t even gather any spirit, how do you have the audacity to say that you taught Ya’er skills and pill refinement? This is ridiculous.”

Both the Emperor and the Empress turned to Feng Tianlan with a look of concern, thinking that perhaps she had been too audacious with her words. She might unwittingly anger Deng Hu and give him a reason to make her life difficult. Things might escalate to the point where even the Demon King could no longer protect her.

The Shang Institute was never a reasonable place. They could not help but be worried for her.

Feng Tianlan ignored his ridicule, and her lips curved lightly. “Compared to Your Supremacy, I am more of a master to Shen Yunya. All the skills she knew were imparted to her by me. Don’t forget that day on the projector wall, she thanked me personally for helping her to be promoted to Earth Supreme. If you think it is ridiculous, then you are short-sighted.”

“How arrogant!” Deng Hu was so infuriated that he slammed his palm onto the table, breaking it into a million pieces. It was obvious that his rage was what made him hit the table as if it was Feng Tianlan.

This was the first time someone had described him as short-sighted, how could he not be offended?

Si Mobai sat back lazily as he raised his handsome eyebrows gently to look at Deng Hu. He asked coldly, “My beloved consort’s arrogance might be the result of me spoiling her, do you have a problem with that?”

His Lan’er had been very polite when she spoke to him so far. How could she be considered arrogant? This Deng Hu was indeed short-sighted, just as Lan’er said.

Hearing Si Mobai’s cold voice, Deng Hu shuddered. It was at this point that he remembered Si Mobai’s existence and was reminded that Feng Tianlan was this man’s woman. Almost immediately, his rage subsided considerably.

Deng Hu knew that he was in the wrong. However, when he thought about the loss of his genius disciple, his heart was filled with frustration and anguish. Furthermore, being called short-sighted and accused of being incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, he developed a deep hatred for Feng Tianlan.

“You are more of a master to her than me?” Deng Hu lifted his head to look at Feng Tianlan mockingly. “Since you speak so arrogantly, why don’t you compete with my disciple in a session of pill refinement. If you win, I will not bother you and will even allow you to enter the Shang Institute and be my disciple without exams. But if you lose, I will not spare any effort in seeking revenge for Ya’er.”
