Chapter 308: Between the World and You, I Choose You

Feng Tianlan’s expression was cold and stern. She looked impartial, just, and unfeeling. All this while, she had been so caught up with cultivation and handling Tu Xiang that she had neglected the Holy Pill City. From this day on, she vowed to keep a closer eye on the city, lest it became infiltrated by malicious evil-doers.

“Will you be dispatching someone else to supervise and manage the city?”

Feng Tianlan frowned. “I shall decide after I reach the Holy Pill City.”

Elder Chen stayed kneeling on all fours until Feng Tianlan left. Only then did he slowly get up and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He said, “Our Master may be young, but her capabilities and aura are not to be reckoned with. We can never compare.”

The moment Feng Tianlan stepped out of the Ruyi Trade House, Si Mobai popped out and grabbed her by her slim waist. He pushed off the ground slightly, then leaped into the air and headed toward Feng Manor.

Si Mobai wrapped up Feng Tianlan in his oversized cape and pressed her little face against his chest. The only sounds she could hear were the chilly winds howling and his thumping heartbeat. However, she could not see the outside world. All she knew was that they were leaping off roofs, traveling through the air.

The howls of the cold wind took her back to that dream. In the dream, she was also shielded in a man’s arms. She was draped in a cape that blocked the outside world from her sight but also protected her from being injured by the crying winds.

However, there was one big difference. In her dream, she could neither hear the man’s heartbeat nor make out his face. However, there was one constant thing—she was always protected.

“Si Mobai, did you send your men over to the Holy Pill City?” With both feet off the ground, Feng Tianlan had no choice but to grab his belt.

With Feng Tianlan in his arms, Si Mobai bounded from roof to roof, light and soundless as a ghostly spirit. “The enemy is too powerful. I don’t want you to be my Achilles heel. You are, at the same time, my armor and shield. We will fight together, side by side. I want to avoid a future where I have to do something against my wishes to protect you.”
