Chapter 726 - Honestly, Im Scared, but I Like You (1/2)

When Xiao Xiao heard their conversation, she asked out of curiosity, “Big Brother Lan, have you all heard of Huan Jiejiu before?”

Feng Tianlan made a sound of acknowledgment and replied nonchalantly, “I was the one who crippled her leg.”

“…” Shivers ran down Xiao Xiao’s spine. Big Brother Lan was really savage, but, looking at Chen Xinlu, she felt that she’d deserved it.

Mei’er chuckled, and when she realized that she could finally speak again, she couldn’t help but grin. “Could it be that Shi Yiqing has taken a liking to you and that she hates you because of it?”

Feng Tianlan felt a pair of cold eyes behind her and figured that Si Mobai had probably heard what she said and was plagued with jealousy. Thus, she hurriedly muttered, “That isn’t the case.”

Mei’er grinned. “How many suitors have you stirred up? From what I see, Shi Moning has also recognized you. Tell me, if the Demon King finds out, what’s going to happen to you?”

Feng Tianlan felt the piercing gaze behind her grow even colder, almost to the point where she felt as if she’d been frozen into a pillar of ice. She hastily lifted an arm to give Mei’er a tap. She had to stop talking. If she kept this up, Mobai would get angry and drag her straight home to punish her.

After waiting a short while, Xiao Xiao asked in surprise, “Eh Mei’er, why have you stopped talking?”

The corner of Feng Tianlan’s lips curled upward. She decided before entering the city that she wasn’t going to let Mei’er open her mouth to talk. Otherwise, Mobai, that jar of vinegar, would immediately flip and she’d be drowned to death.

Although the journey into the city was smooth, Feng Tianlan knew that the assassins were getting larger in number and that their skills were getting stronger. It was only because of Mobai’s protection in the background that they were kept at bay. He eliminated them before they had the chance to draw close.

Between the suburbs and the city, the road was only a few kilometers long. However, there were at least twenty to thirty throngs of assassins nearby. Even though she’d changed her appearance, the intensity of their ambushes had increased—possibly because Shi Yiqing had seen them the last time.

She didn’t dare to let her thoughts wander. If she wasn’t disguised, she definitely wouldn’t be allowed to enter the city alive, even if a few hundred waves of assassins had to be sent to kill her.
