Chapter 11

“A good show?” Luo Yunzhu asked, interest sparking in her eyes .

Feng Tianlan nodded and replied, “Two more hours to go . Let’s rest before heading to the banquet at the Fragrance Restaurant . ”

“Didn’t you say you don’t fancy dining with dogs?” Luo Yunzhu relished throwing shade at the Third Prince .

“Yet, some do . ”

Luo Yunzhu listened, and her eyes shone with anticipation . “Spill . What do you have up your sleeves? Psyche me up a little!”

“You’ll see later . ” Her body was fragile, vulnerable, and weak . She’d consumed too much energy without having practiced spiritual arts . She urgently needed to rest .

“Tianlan, you are such a boss today! Especially when you were whipping Feng Xiuyu, and that speech you delivered to the Third Prince . Ahh, speaking of the deathmatch at the battle ring, I keep thinking about the Wargod . He’s such a divine-like being . What a perfect match for you…”

Luo Yunzhu chattered agitatedly about what had happened in the battle ring . She embellished her story so much that she sounded like a professional storyteller . How exciting and hot-blooded it must have been! A gifted genius defeated by a worthless good-for-nothing—it was such a dramatic turn of events . Initially, the charming Heavenly Phoenix Court had been Feng Tianlan’s residence . After the death of the former Feng Clan Head, Feng Xiang had taken charge as the new master only for Feng Xiuyu to seize the residence . She’d been living there now for ten years .

In the pink boudoir, Feng Xiuyu nested in Si Rong’s arms as she cried heartrendingly . Pearl-like tears rained down her cheeks, and she looked exceptionally fragile and pitiful . “Big Brother Rong, I’ve got scars on my body and face . You should marry my sister . She’s powerful now, and she would be a better match to…uwaa . ” Before she could finish speaking, Feng Xiuyu’s tears splashed the back of Si Rong’s hand . Although she was crying, her eyes were full of viciousness . I must return to Feng Tianlan the humiliation she made me suffer today, she silently swore .

Si Rong, who had been gentle and soothing, became enraged at her suggestion . He gritted his teeth and rebuked, “I’d rather marry a chicken than Feng Tianlan . ”

Feng Xiuyu looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, “Big Brother Rong . ” She put on a look of loving selflessness and pleaded, “But, Big Brother Rong needs to think about his future . Now that my sister has become strong, the Emperor will not agree to your annulment . For your future’s sake, let’s forget about our love . ”

Haha! In Big Brother Rong’s eyes, thought Feng Xiuyu, Feng Tianlan is worse than a chicken . So what if she’s become a little more powerful? Feng Tianlan can never shake my position in Big Brother Rong’s heart—Feng Tianlan is nobody to be afraid of . After seven days, once she rose to become a Mid-stage Spiritualist, Feng Xiuyu would make sure to teach Feng Tianlan a good lesson .

“Who does she think she is? I must have roughed her up too badly last time, so she hates me and took secret poisonous drugs . That must be why she suddenly became so strong . Besides, this engagement will soon be broken off . It’s been the greatest insult of my life to be engaged to marry her . ”

When Feng Xiuyu saw Si Rong’s complete aversion to Feng Tianlan, her face was smug . She was intentionally arrogant and domineering in public, so that she could bully Feng Tianlan more effectively . It had to be done to convince people that a good whipping could dispel her anger as well as make them doubt that she would actually try to kill Feng Tianlan or make her life worse than death .

“But…” she began, but Si Rong held Feng Xiuyu’s hand tightly . His eyes filled with tenderness and affection . “You can rest assured that I will marry you,” he promised . “As for that scar on your face, I will bring you the cure once the auction starts, even if I diminish my fortune . ”

“Big Brother Rong…” Feng Xiuyu looked at him, deeply moved to tears .

Si Rong smiled insidiously and said, coldly, “Just you wait . It’s no small matter to dine with me . Tonight will be our best chance to publicly make a fool out of Feng Tianlan . ”
