Little Phoenix stuck its head in Feng Wu’s arms as soon as Feng Wu took it back. The next second, it had run back into the ring.“I was so frightened!” The bird patted its chest and gasped for air after it sat down in the ring.

It had been that close to losing its life.

Outside, Feng Wu stared resentfully at Jun Linyuan.

Scratching her head, she felt frustrated. What would it take to make Jun Linyuan lift her up?

That was so difficult.

Patting her head, Feng Wu frowned and buried her face in her hands. She couldn’t stop sighing.

The crown prince went on reading, as though Feng Wu wasn’t there.

The fairy was so anxious and kept prompting Feng Wu. “Pretty master, you don’t have much time lift! 30 minutes have passed already!”

Feng Wu cried out inwardly, “What?! Already?!”

The fairy said, “You stared at His Royal Highness for too long and wasted a lot of time.”

Feng Wu said, “I did not!”

The fairy thought to herself, “Yes, you so did! But that’s understandable. I was infatuated, too…”

Feng Wu was racking her brain for a solution when she heard footsteps outside.

Footsteps? Was someone here?

Feng Wu didn’t like that idea.

She couldn’t make the request when they were alone, and if there was a third person in the room… Feng Wu knew that she would never be able to speak those words.

She tried to convince herself that Jun Linyuan had always preferred to be left alone, so he might not let any visitor in.

But the footsteps were getting so close that Feng Wu could tell who the visitors were.

Soon, she heard a cheerful voice outside.

“Boss Jun, Boss Jun —”

It was none other than Feng Xun himself.

Feng Wu had an ominous feeling.

And she was right to feel that way, for Feng Xun wasn’t alone when he came in. Xuan Yi was with him.

“Damn it.”

Feng Wu was dumbfounded.

She could show her weakness to Jun Linyuan and butter him up when they were alone, but now…

Feng Wu smacked her forehead. Not good.

Feng Xun was too much of a disturbance. Hence, Feng Wu rose to her feet and grabbed Feng Xun’s hand.

“Brother, Brother, His Royal Highness is reading. You’ll be disturbing him.” So please, just go, I’m begging you, thought Feng Wu.

“Is Boss Jun reading?” Feng Xun looked up to see that Jun Linyuan had put the book down.

However, something clicked in his head when he saw how anxious Feng Wu looked.

So, the girl had finally admitted her feelings and wanted to spend some time alone with Jun Linyuan.

The thought made Feng Xun chuckle. Leaning closer, he grinned and asked in a whisper, “You want to be left alone with Boss Jun, don’t you?”

Feng Wu couldn’t deny it.

So she nodded.

Feng Xun flicked Feng Wu’s smooth forehead and flashed her a mischievous smile. “Oh my, you really are…”

“Cough —”

Next to him, Xuan Yi tugged his sleeve in warning.

Feng Xun looked up to see Boss Jun’s expressionless face and the cold look in his eyes.

“Um…” Rubbing his chin, Feng Xun shuddered a little and said immediately, “Please go back to whatever you were doing…”

After that, Feng Xun and Xuan Yi were going to leave.Feng Wu was secretly relieved. Luckily, Feng Xun knew how to act and when, otherwise she didn’t know how she was going to finish the third trial.

However, Feng Xun had just turned around, when the crown prince snorted. “Are you leaving already?

Wait —

Turning around, Feng Xun looked suspiciously from Feng Wu to Jun Linyuan, and realized that something wasn’t right between the two of them.

The crown prince grumbled, “Sit down.”

Feng Xun said, “Alright.”

After that, the crown prince actually started talking to Feng Xun and Xuan Yi, discussing everything from famous cultivators and influential families to state affairs and border defense.

They let their thoughts run freely, but most of the time, Feng Xun did all the talking while the crown prince listened. Every now and then, the crown prince would give his opinion in a few words.

But every sentence he said was to the point, and would enlighten Feng Xun.

Feng Wu didn’t pay much attention to their conversation. All she could think of now was figuring out a way to make Jun Linyuan lift her up.

She looked resentfully at Jun Linyuan and wondered if the guy was doing this on purpose.

He was such a smart person, so could he have guessed her purpose?

Seeing that the conversation seemed to go on forever, Feng Wu couldn’t sit still anymore.

As a matter of fact, Feng Xun couldn’t either.

Boss Jun wasn’t usually this talkative, and today, he seemed to be actively looking for things to talk about.

Moreover, Feng Xun hadn’t thought about many of the questions Jun Linyuan asked, and was only saying the first things that came into his head. He felt so embarrassed when Boss Jun pointed out the problems in what he said.

Feng Xun wanted to smack his own head. Of all the places he could go, why did he have to come here?

The atmosphere felt rather strange…

Feng Xun and Xuan Yi exchanged bewildered looks.

They began to talk with their eyes.

Feng Xun asked, “What’s going on between them?”

Xuan Yi said, “I don’t know.”

Feng Xun said, “Somehow, I have a feeling that I’m being used by Boss Jun.”

Xuan Yi said, “That’s true.”

Feng Xun asked, “Can we run?”

Xuan Yi asked, “Do you dare?”

Feng Xun was speechless.

Feng Wu was getting more and more anxious at the fairy’s hasty reminders.

“Pretty master, you’re running out of time. You only have 10 minutes left…”

Feng Wu took a deep breath.

There were only 10 minutes left, and if she didn’t hurry up, she would have to rush to finish the task like before.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles went white, before she put on her brightest smile.

Feng Wu knew perfectly well that neither Feng Xun nor Xuan Yi could change the situation. Jun Linyuan was the only one that could call the shots.

Thus, she had to beg Jun Linyuan, not anyone else.

At that thought, Feng Wu slowly walked up to Jun Linyuan and tugged at his sleeve. “Brother Jun, you guys must be tired from all the talking. Would you like to take a break?”

“Brother Jun?”

Feng Xun almost choked when he heard that.

Since when were these two people on such friendly terms?

Zuo Qingluan and Dugu Yamo all called him Brother Jun, but the same words sounded off coming from Feng Wu’s mouth.

Even Xuan Yi got goosebumps when he heard it, let alone Feng Xun.

Did Feng Wu not know that? Of course she did, but for her broken star piece, she had to become an award-winning actress.“Brother Jun —” Tugging at Jun Linyuan’s sleeve, she batted her eyelashes at him, her big bright eyes reminding him of a deer.

With her soft voice and the innocent look in her eyes, anyone would offer her all their sympathy.

Even Feng Xun couldn’t help but feel pity for her, let alone Jun Linyuan.

In his head, Xuan Yi gave Feng Wu the thumbs up!

He was amazed by the girl. She could adapt to any circumstance. Not only was she irresistibly sweet, she was also smart and talented… No wonder even the crown prince had fallen for her.

Since his buddies were around, the crown prince naturally maintained his arrogant demeanor. Glancing at Feng Wu, he drew back his sleeve. “Don’t try to butter me up!”

He looked impatient.

Any other girl would have burst into tears and run away by now.

But Feng Wu was no ordinary girl.

Biting her lip, she gave Jun Linyuan an aggrieved look before lowering her head and nodding reluctantly.

With her pleading tone and her unmatched beauty, no man could remain indifferent to that.

The crown prince rubbed his chin, and for the very first time, he asked himself, “Am I being too harsh to the girl?”

Somehow, the tears in her eyes made him feel a little guilty.

Feng Wu bit her lower lip and remained silent.

A hush fell over the room.

“Hey —”

Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Wu. He knew that the girl could be such a good actress, and wouldn’t believe that someone as heartless as her could get upset so easily.

However, when he saw that tears had welled up in her eyes, he felt tormented.

“What do you want?” He glared at Feng Wu.

Raising her head, Feng Wu looked at Jun Linyuan with sparkling eyes. “Are you going to give me whatever I want?”

The crown prince glanced at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu went silent. “Alright. I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.”

Then an idea struck her. “I have a suggestion!”

What?

All eyes were on her.

Feng Wu said happily, “Since the four of us are all here, how about we play a game?”

Feng Xun touched her forehead. “Do you have a fever?”

Feng Wu threw a dirty look at him and brushed off his hand. “Let’s play a game that you’ve never heard of before!”

“What game?” Feng Xun was intrigued.

Feng Wu said, “It’s called ‘Truth or Dare’! Have you heard of it before? The rules are quite simple. The name is self-explanatory!”

Truth or dare?

Feng Wu’s plan was quite straightforward. She was going to force Jun Linyuan to choose “dare” and give him a difficult task.

She winked at Feng Xun as she spoke, asking for his help.

Luckily, Feng Xun wasn’t hopeless. He took the hint as soon as Feng Wu’s eyelid twitched.

Although he didn’t know what her plan was, since he was her brother, he had to help her unconditionally.

Rubbing his chin, Feng Xun said, “Truth or dare? I haven’t heard of it before.”

Feng Wu said, “Let’s play rock, paper, and scissors first, and the loser has to choose between ‘Truth’ and ‘Dare.’

“If they choose ‘Truth,’ they must tell the truth.

“If they choose ‘Dare,’ they can’t back out.

“Otherwise —”

Feng Wu grinned at the other three. “The one who backs out will look like such a loser!”

Feng Xun said, “That sounds quite interesting. Little Feng Wu, you’re going to tell us all your secrets.”

Feng Wu said proudly, “No, I won’t. I’ll definitely be the winner.”

But it was no use that Feng Xun was intrigued. Jun Linyuan was the one who called the shots here.

“Brother Jun ~”

Tugging at Jun Linyuan’s robe, Feng Wu eyed him eagerly.

Xuan Yi’s gaze was fixed on her hand.

Boss Jun might seem indifferent to Feng Wu, but he was in fact being extremely nice.

No other girl would dare come within a meter of Jun Linyuan, let alone touch his sleeve.

“Boss Jun is going to say yes…” thought Xuan Yi and Feng Xun as they exchanged looks.

As expected, Jun Linyuan threw an impatient and dirty look at Feng Wu.

She ignored Jun Linyuan’s attitude and only beamed at him. “Play with me, please. Don’t you want to know everyone else’s secret?”

She then dragged Jun Linyuan toward the other two, and despite the reluctant look on his face, he let her.

From an angle the crown prince couldn’t see, Xuan Yi and Feng Xun smiled.

What an interesting pair.

“Where are we going to sit?” Feng Xun’s eyes darted around, but he only saw two chairs at the table.

Feng Wu pressed down on his shoulders and made him sit on the floor. “There, the carpet is thick enough for you to sit on.”

Feng Xun had no problem with it, but he wasn’t sure about Jun Linyuan.

His Boss Jun was an uptight and graceful man, who couldn’t possibly sit on the floor, even if he really was in love with Feng Wu. No, he would never say yes.

Feng Xun’s mouth fell open when Feng Wu took Jun Linyuan’s hand and gestured to him to sit down. “Come on. Sit here —”

The proud and respectable crown prince really sat down on the thick carpet.

Feng Xun was speechless.

They could tell that Boss Jun was a little awkward as he sat there stiffly, because he had never sat on the ground apart from when he was cultivating.

“Here we go! The game starts now!”

Feng Wu cut to the chase, for she was in a hurry!

She didn’t have much time left.

She was only on the third trial, but this ridiculous mission was already driving her crazy.

There were quite a few finger-guessing games they could choose from, but Feng Wu only had one particular game in mind. “Let’s start with rock, paper, and scissors.”

“What’s that?” Feng Xun asked curiously.

Feng Wu explained the rules to him.

“That sounds fun. Let’s start, then! I can’t wait!” Feng Xun and Xuan Yi exchanged smiles.

They decided that they would be the best wingmen possible today.

If little Feng Wu or Boss Jun lost, they would definitely ask questions about their feelings for each other.

Since there were four of them, they would have to form two pairs to play rock, paper, and scissors.

After picking lots, Feng Wu was up against Feng Xun.

She grinned at him. “I’m going to go with ‘paper’.”

Feng Xun glanced at her, and decided not to believe a word this mischievous girl said.

Hence, Feng Xun chose ‘rock’ without hesitation.

However —

Feng Wu really used ‘paper,’ so she won.

Feng Xun was dumbfounded.

Xuan Yi and Jun Linyuan had their round as well, and obviously, Xuan Yi lost.

So, the final round was between Xuan Yi and Feng Xun.

In the end, it was between Xuan Yi and Feng Xun.

Naturally, Xuan Yi won, and Feng Xun lost.

Hence, Xuan Yi asked Feng Xun, “Truth or dare?”

Feng Xun stared at Xuan Yi. “Truth.”

Xuan Yi nodded and smiled. “Are you sure?”

Feng Xun’s stomach lurched, but he still rested his hands on his waist and said, “Bring it on. I’d like to see you try.”

Xuan Yi grinned. “Who was the first girl you fell in love with?”

“What —”

Instinctively, Feng Xun glanced at Feng Wu, and the next second, he wanted to choke Xuan Yi!

Back at Northern Border City, he hadn’t known about Boss Jun’s feelings for Feng Wu and had really had a crush on her, but that was a long time ago!

“Dare!” Feng Xun glared at Xuan Yi. “I choose dare!”

Feng Wu didn’t get the hint, and only looked at Feng Xun curiously. “Wait, Feng Xun, who’s the girl? Do we know her?”

If not, why would he have such a reaction?

Feng Xun glanced at Boss Jun, and as expected, Boss Jun’s face had darkened…

He recalled the night when Boss Jun had gone to his place and wanted to challenge him for no reason… He hadn’t known what that was about back then, but he had figured everything out now.

“Dare! It has to be dare!” Feng Xun said anxiously.

Feng Wu was curious. “Which girl is it? Why can’t you tell us? I’m so curious.”

Feng Xun glared at her and wondered if she was asking the question on purpose.

Xuan Yi teased him. “If I’m not mistaken…”

Feng Xun glared at Xuan Yi. “Xuan Yi! Do you have a death wish?!”

Xuan Yi smiled, but didn’t say anything.

Since Feng Wu was in a rush, she said, “Fine, dare it is, then. Go downstairs and catch a fish.”

Feng Xun glared at Feng Wu. “What do you need that for?”

Feng Wu smiled. “Didn’t you choose dare? Go catch a fish now. Remember, I want it alive.”

Feng Xun had no idea what Feng Wu’s plan was, but in order to avoid “truth,” he had no choice but to go downstairs.

Luckily —

There were all kinds of fish in the kitchen of the World Tower, and Feng Xun scooped out the first one he saw.

He stepped out of the kitchen to find Feng Wu leaning against the doorframe.

Feng Wu chuckled when she saw the fish.

It was a black, slimy fish with barbed spikes around its mouth.

Feng Xun found it odd, but still looked curiously at Feng Wu. “What are you doing down here? Is it me or are you acting very strangely today?”

Feng Wu smiled at Feng Xun. “Guess what I’m going to do with your fish.”

Feng Xun asked, “What are you going to do? You’re not going to make me eat it raw, are you?”

Feng Wu grinned. “I won’t, but I may ask you to kiss it.”

“Hey, little Feng Wu! Have you forgotten that I’m your brother?!” Feng Xun glared at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu smiled. “Well, I’ll cut you loose if you do something for me. I won’t even ask you who the girl is.”

Feng Xun asked, “What do you want?”

Feng Wu smiled. “It’s very simple. Let’s make Jun Linyuan lose, and after that, we’ll make him choose dare.”

Feng Xun asked, “What do you want him to do?”

Crossing her hands behind her back, Feng Wu grinned at Feng Xun. She then leaned closer and whispered something in his ear.“Hey, little Feng Wu! Do you have any shame at all?” Feng Xun was astonished.

Feng Wu snorted. “Will you do it for me or not?”

Feng Xun scratched his head. “Are you that eager? Boss Jun annulled your marriage agreement already. And there’s also Zuo Qingluan, the genius teenage girl, to consider. Don’t you have any ambition at all?”

Feng Wu was speechless.

“How does ambition have anything to do with this? I’m only trying to finish my mission!” thought Feng Wu.

She stared at Feng Xun. “You’re my brother. Are you going to say no to me?”

Of course Feng Xun couldn’t say no.

“Fine, fine! I’ll do it! And I’ll have Xuan the Second help you with it, too. Satisfied?” Feng Xun rolled his eyes at Feng Wu.

“Brother, you’re so smart!” Feng Wu took his arm in excitement.

Feng Xun said grumpily, “I’m your smart brother when you need something from me, but when you don’t need me, you treat me like rubbish. Heh.”

Feng Wu held his arm. “What are you talking about?”

The brother and sister bantered all the way as they went up to Beyond World.
