Chapter 382: Feng Tianlan Shocks the Crowd

Feng Tianlan’s pupils narrowed. He was too good for her. This made her even more uncertain about her feelings for him.

After recuperating for two days, Si Mobai had almost completely recovered the energy he’d lost due to signing the natal contract.

Feng Tianlan was packing her stuff as she filled in Si Mobai on her schedule, “If you have something to do, then you should return to the city first. I want to use this opportunity while the Demonic Beast is still recuperating to make a trip to the Misty Forest.”

Si Mobai frowned slightly and responded, “I will accompany you.”

With the Demonic Beast out of commission, it was safe in the Misty Forest right now. However, Si Mobai still worried about Feng Tianlan going there alone.

“There’s no need.” Feng Tianlan placed her folded clothes in the Pill Scroll Realm and said, “The assassin from the Heaven and Earth Alliance made me more aware of how weak I am. I need to become stronger, or else I won’t be so lucky next time.”

The Heaven and Earth Alliance was coming for her. Once they realized that the Heavenly Supreme assassin had not returned, they would instantly detect her presence, and the endless hunt would begin.

The only way forward for her was to become stronger and gather enough spiritual force. This was the most crucial solution.

Si Mobai frowned. He wanted to say something, but Feng Tianlan raised her head, looked at him, and said, “I need to grow stronger. I don’t want to be a weakling. I want to kill my enemies with my bare hands. I want to protect those I care for.”

“Alright.” Si Mobai couldn’t argue. In a situation where he’d been given permission, he could protect others. However, without consent, he could only protect her.

Besides, her overflowing arrogance was what he liked about her. He couldn’t take her freedom away just because he wanted her.

Feng Tianlan raised her lips and thought: Si Mobai, just wait until I kill my enemies. Wait until I am strong enough. I want to become a treasured sword that fights alongside you. I do not want to be a weak flower that you must protect.

Feng Tianlan didn’t speak these words out loud. This was a promise that she made to herself. Once she was clear on her feelings, once she killed her enemies, then she would tell him!

While the two of them were talking, they heard an uproar outside, including Luo Yunzhu’s loud voice.

“You have been eliminated from the genealogy!” Yunzhu was shouting. “Yet you still tell others that your last name is Feng! Tu Xiupei, why are you so shameless?”

“Tu Xiupei is here?” Feng Tianlan frowned. She quickly walked to the hall. Yunzhu had a short fuse. If she fought with Tu Xiupei, she would lose.

Feng Tianlan arrived in the hall. She saw Luo Yunzhu surrounded by dozens of commoners, who were saying that she’d insulted Lady Phoenix and wanted to beat her up.

“I will chop off the hands of anyone who dares touch her,” a cold, crisp voice rang out. It sounded particularly sweet among the otherwise rough noises.

“That bitc—” Before the insult could finish being uttered, the person who had been about to say it raised his head with fists clenched and saw a stunning woman. He was amazed.

The crowd looked toward the voice and saw a lady who looked like an angel that had descended from heaven. The wind blew at her feet. She was giving off an angelic scent that wafted slowly toward them.

Hiss!

To see such a beauty in this small, ruined place made the crowd draw a deep breath. Not one word came out of any of their mouths. They were afraid that if they disturbed the beauty, she might fly back to heaven.

Tu Xiupei was waiting for the mob to attack Luo Yunzhu. However, after hearing Feng Tianlan’s voice, she quickly looked in the direction where it had come from. She was shocked to see a lady in white—cold as a snow lotus.

The lady was so pretty that she made everyone forget to breathe. Si Mobai was by her side and similarly cold. In the onlookers’ eyes, this heavenly couple had descended from the god realm. They were so blindingly beautiful that the crowd had to look away.

Crack!

Ah!

A sudden cry of agony jolted everyone back to reality.
