Chapter 15

“Nevertheless, what Feng Tianlan said yesterday certainly grabbed enough attention . Although it only made the Third Prince hate her more . ”

“At least, back then, she still had her looks . Now that she’s got such a deep scar across her face, I bet she isn’t worthy of being the Third Prince’s concubine . ”

“The way she looks now, she would never be considered the second most beautiful person in the South Winds Nation . I bet she’s gonna have to give up that title soon . ”

…

Surrounded by a murmuring crowd, Feng Tianlan strode in with a big yellow dog on a leash . Her back was straight as proud bamboo, and a regal aura flowed from her eyes . As the crowd split, layer by layer, to make way for her, one could describe the immense importance she exuded along the lines of, “It’s the return of a king!”

Her regality was so overwhelming that even the big yellow dog, a most ordinary breed, seemed to take on a tinge of beastly, demonic ferociousness . The deep red scar that ran from Feng Tianlan’s eyebrow to the side of her nose was as visible as ever . However, her overwhelmingly stately presence stunned and captivated .

When Luo Yunzhu saw admiration flashing in the crowd’s eyes, she puffed up her chest, straightening out her posture . She was here to be a pillar of support for Feng Tianlan, so she had to be domineering .

“Didn’t you say that you were too busy to attend?” scoffed Si Rong coldly .

Cruelty flared in Si Rong’s eyes when he saw Feng Tianlan arrive . It’s great that she came, he thought . It would have disrupted my plans and rendered my efforts futile if she hadn’t shown up .

Feng Tianlan, who stood about a head shorter than Si Rong, tilted her face slightly up toward him . “Which table?” she asked .

“You’re this eager to please me?” Si Rong sneered as he pointed to the table he’d reserved .

The table was in the very middle of the hall . Whatever took place at that table could be viewed from the backyard, the front of the hall, and every open window . Now, he was simply waiting for the show to start .

Feng Tianlan withdrew her gaze . Then, she walked toward the table to which Si Rong had pointed . Si Rong felt like the look Feng Tianlan gave him was demeaning, like he was an ant, and it made him very uncomfortable . Feng Tianlan was, by all means, shorter than him, but how dare she look at him with such eyes! Hmph, he’d let her off for now . Anyway, she’d lose all will to live soon enough .

“Feng Tianlan, what are you doing?” Si Rong blurted out .

As he sat down, he saw Feng Tianlan lead the dog up onto the seat opposite him . The dog sat upright, obediently, and rested its two paws on the table’s edge . Sticking out its tongue, it stared straight at Si Rong and drooled uncontrollably . The big yellow dog was seated right in front of him . How could Feng Tianlan let a dog sit directly opposite him when they were supposed to dine together? How deeply insulting .

Feng Xiuyu, who was sitting beside Si Rong, darkened at once . She glared with revulsion at the large, salivating dog . She lifted her eyes gracefully and said, “I do not fancy eating with dogs . ” A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth . “However, it seems like other dogs do . ”

Woof! Woof! The yellow dog barked at Si Rong, greeting him . Then, it buried its nose in the bowl and began to lap up the soup . Feng Tianlan’s words and the dog’s barks after it had enjoyed a few licks of soup made Si Rong feel like the dog was telling him not to stand on ceremony and eat quickly . The whole scene made Si Rong’s face turn green . To think that Feng Tianlan would humiliate him with a dog!

“Feng Tianlan, you…” Si Rong was speechless . He could not even come up with the words to scold her . His chest heaved laboriously . It was like he was going to pass out from the anger or vomit blood .

“Tianlan, you’re truly my idol,” remarked Luo Yunzhu .

Luo Yunzhu had been standing, stunned, at the sidelines for quite a while . Once she regained her senses, she applauded with all her might simply because what had just happened was so awesome . Her anger had been vented!

On their way here, Feng Tianlan had bought the dog offhandedly . Luo Yunzhu had assumed that she was just going to make the big yellow dog bark at the Third Prince . What an unexpected performance!
