Chapter 331: A Premeditated Assassination

“Si Mobai…” Feng Tianlan’s hand was scalded by his breath. She felt like the heat from her hand could reach her heart and melt down the wall around her heart.

“It’s my first time, and I’m not very good at this. If it hurts, you can pinch me.” Si Mobai applied the medicine with even more care. He bent over and lowered his head to blow her wound.

Feng Tianlan looked away and swallowed every word she’d intended to say. She decided to just go with the flow. Perhaps things would actually turn out differently.

“Isn’t Your Highness supposed to be protecting her in the shadows? Just now, Tianlan very nearly…” Luo Yunzhu twisted her mouth and grumbled. She felt that if His Highness couldn’t protect Tianlan, then he shouldn’t have made such a grand promise. He claimed to be protecting her in the shadows, but where he was when they were in trouble? He’d only appeared after everything was over.

Feng Tianlan saw that there was no fresh blood on him, but the metallic smell nevertheless mingled with his usual minty fragrance. “You smell like blood.”

“I was chasing some birds away,” Si Mobai quietly replied. He had come late, and Lan’er had been injured. So everything was indeed his fault.

Feng Tianlan frowned and looked up at the blue sky. “Do you mean those birds that suddenly exploded in midair?”

“My Lan’er is so clever.” Si Mobai looked up at her, and the nervousness in his heart instantly disappeared. He no longer feared that she wouldn’t understand him and think that he was only full of empty words. He hadn’t expected her to connect the dots after making such an ambiguous statement.

“Your Highness, what do you mean?” Luo Yunzhu was shocked.

“You mean this was premeditated?” That was Zhang Tiancheng’s first thought.

Chuling widened her eyes in complete disbelief. Something like that could actually happen in a place as large as the Misty Forest?
