Chapter 192 - Daier, Is That You? (1/2)

Feng Tianlan only glanced briefly at Tu Xiuyu. Then, she looked at Si Mobai, Xi Jin, and Si Rong, who were still there. She bluntly asked them to leave. “We’ll host you again tomorrow.”

Tu Xiuyu hastily pounced on Si Rong and hung onto his leg. She pleaded through tears, “Big Brother Rong, you won’t leave me behind, will you? You must take me with you. We have so many years of affection between us…”

Si Rong kicked off Tu Xiuyu rudely. “You deceived me in the past, so I lost my senses. Now that I’ve seen your real face, you’d better get as far away from me as you can. Otherwise, I’ll have to take more extreme measures.”

Tu Xiuyu was astounded by the kick. She’d never expected him to be so cold.

“Lan’er…” Si Rong had just opened his mouth to speak when he felt the chill of Si Mobai’s cold glare on him. He gulped in fear then changed his sentence midway: “I’ll come to see you again tomorrow, and I’ll bring gifts.”

Without paying any mind to Tu Xiuyu, who was sitting on the ground, Si Rong fled faster than a hare.

When she came to, Si Rong was already gone. Tu Xiuyu looked all around. Only Si Mobai and Xi Jin were left. One was cold as an iceberg, the other was gentle as jade. She chose the gentle Xi Jin without any hesitation.

“Your Supremacy, take me away. I’m willing to be anything—concubine or maidservant—just take me away. I trust you’ll take me away.”

Xi Jin glanced at Tu Xiuyu, who was crawling toward him, then again at Feng Tianlan, who looked like an innocent bystander. He took a step backward. “Goodbye.”

Xi Jin jumped onto the Heavenly Beast’s back, but it wasn’t willing to leave. It wailed in sorrow, circling in the sky above the courtyard and gazing down.

“Xiaoqing.” Xi Jin furrowed his brow while looking down at the people in the courtyard. He asked in a low voice, “Is Dai’er here?”

The Heavenly Beast continued to wail, unwilling to leave. But it didn’t move closer to anyone either.
