Chapter 745 - Don’t Speak of Dumplings, I’m Disgusted (1/2)
Xi Jin looked at her worriedly and said, “I heard that the Demon King was here, so I came to see him. What’s wrong with you? What did he say?”
Xi Lin shook her head and said, “He didn’t say anything.” She was just thinking about how to persuade her Imperial Brother to call off the wedding.
“What the hell is going on? You look terrible.” Xi Jin looked at her ashen face and became very worried. He had many brothers and sisters, but she was his only full sibling.
Xi Lin shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
“Do you like the Demon King?” Xi Jin asked tentatively.
Xi Lin jerked her head up and looked at Xi Jin, who had a serious look on his face. She laughed in spite of herself and said, “Imperial Brother, don’t let your imagination run wild. Why would I like him?”
She was only like this because she’d just seen Dai’er and had come to know some of the heinous things Shen Yunya had done. That was all.
Xi Jin didn’t care whether she spoke the truth or not. He said very seriously, “You can’t like him. He already has someone in mind, she….”
The moment he was about to say Feng Tianlan, he couldn’t help but think of how brightly she’d smiled under the sun.
“What about her?”
Xi Jin snapped himself out of it and sat down in a nearby chair. He sipped some cooled tea and suppressed his impetuous mood. He said, “She’s the person the bounty mission is looking for. She’s the only one in Si Mobai’s heart. Don’t think of him. It’s absolutely never going to happen with him.”
“Feng Tianlan.” Thinking of something, Xi Lin sat down next to Xi Jin and leaned against the table. She looked at him and said, “Imperial Brother, Feng Tianlan is also from Guiyuan Continent. You’ve been there twice. Have you seen her before, or heard of her legend?”
Xi Jin suddenly thought of the first time he’d met Feng Tianlan. There was a sinister-looking scar on her face and an overbearing air about her, and she was holding Tu Xiupei’s Dantian in her hand. At that time, he spoke up to stop her because he intended to bring Tu Xiupei to Xuantian Continent.
He vaguely remembered that at that time, she’d asked him if he’d eaten dumplings.
