Chapter 382: Feng Tianlan Shocks the Crowd

Feng Tianlan’s pupils narrowed. He was too good for her. This made her even more uncertain about her feelings for him.

After recuperating for two days, Si Mobai had almost completely recovered the energy he’d lost due to signing the natal contract.

Feng Tianlan was packing her stuff as she filled in Si Mobai on her schedule, “If you have something to do, then you should return to the city first. I want to use this opportunity while the Demonic Beast is still recuperating to make a trip to the Misty Forest.”

Si Mobai frowned slightly and responded, “I will accompany you.”

With the Demonic Beast out of commission, it was safe in the Misty Forest right now. However, Si Mobai still worried about Feng Tianlan going there alone.

“There’s no need.” Feng Tianlan placed her folded clothes in the Pill Scroll Realm and said, “The assassin from the Heaven and Earth Alliance made me more aware of how weak I am. I need to become stronger, or else I won’t be so lucky next time.”

The Heaven and Earth Alliance was coming for her. Once they realized that the Heavenly Supreme assassin had not returned, they would instantly detect her presence, and the endless hunt would begin.

The only way forward for her was to become stronger and gather enough spiritual force. This was the most crucial solution.

Si Mobai frowned. He wanted to say something, but Feng Tianlan raised her head, looked at him, and said, “I need to grow stronger. I don’t want to be a weakling. I want to kill my enemies with my bare hands. I want to protect those I care for.”

“Alright.” Si Mobai couldn’t argue. In a situation where he’d been given permission, he could protect others. However, without consent, he could only protect her.

Besides, her overflowing arrogance was what he liked about her. He couldn’t take her freedom away just because he wanted her.

Feng Tianlan raised her lips and thought: Si Mobai, just wait until I kill my enemies. Wait until I am strong enough. I want to become a treasured sword that fights alongside you. I do not want to be a weak flower that you must protect.

Feng Tianlan didn’t speak these words out loud. This was a promise that she made to herself. Once she was clear on her feelings, once she killed her enemies, then she would tell him!
