Vol 4 Chapter 34.4 (2/2)

“Un? You can tell?” She said as she rubbed her eyes, “It’s been a little messy at Jiangdong lately and it’s getting difficult to figure out who is loyal and who is treacherous.”

Sun Ce smiled bitterly as she said so and sized me up as she placed her hands on her hips, “Xuan De, on the other hand, seems to be the same as before.”

“What kind of change could happen to me…” I looked about as I said so, “Eh? Then why have you come here?”

Sun Ce scratched her head as she smiled, “There are some tailors from Jiangdong here, and I’ve always gotten them to make my clothes.”

“Hou~~~”

“What? Can’t I wear nice clothes like other girls?” She shot a sharp glance at me to which I hurriedly shook my head.

What she said was on mark though.

Eh? Now that I think about it, the feel I get from Sun Ce and Feng Xian is about the same. Even though they are both warriors through and through, Sun Ce seems a lot more flexible.

“Speaking of which, you don’t have a very wide social circle right, Sun Ce?”

“Eh?” Sun Ce was speaking with a tailor and sank into thought at my question, “That is correct now that you mention it. Apart from a few people close to me, most don’t even dare to look at me.”

The way Sun Ce said it was if it wasn’t about herself.

“…”

“Don’t be silent and make it like it’s so serious. Even I feel awkward now.” Sun Ce said and parted her fringe to reveal her eyes, “I know what you mean but I can’t do anything about my eyes.”

Indeed, those eyes made it difficult for people to approach her. Even someone like me who knows Sun Ce will still involuntarily tremble at the sight of these eyes.

“But I’ve gotten past all of that,” Sun Ce smiled, her cheeks slightly reddened for some reason, “You did say my eyes were beautiful before, no?”

Wu… Sun Ce had a very cute smile on as she held back her fringe. And this smile made me feel a little shy. I have always felt that even hardened warriors like her are just ordinary people inside.

“Xuan De…”

Un?

I turned back, and saw Feng Xian in a beautiful red, silk dress with an accessory on her head. Feng Xian was beautiful to begin with, but seeing her in such clothing was inexplicably refres.h.i.+ng.

If her expression would soften, Feng Xian would probably look every inch an elegant beautiful lady.

Come to think of it, Feng Xian should have met Sun Ce before right. “Umm, Feng Xian, this person is…”

“Ha!” Just as I was about to introduce her, Feng Xian suddenly lunged at Sun Ce and tried to land a punch on her!

Sun Ce was shocked but she still dodged it instinctively by stepping back and hurriedly exited the shop.

“Feng Xian, what are you doing!”

“Don’t be afraid, Xuan De. I will protect you even if I’m unarmed.” Feng Xian said as she stood in front of me and pointed at Sun Ce, “Look at that person’s eyes, Xuan De. Thos are the same bloodthirsty eyes of a warrior like mine. She’s definitely an enemy!”

Eh? Didn’t Feng Xian see Sun Ce before? Why…

I looked at Sun Ce and found my answer. Sun Ce currently had her fringe up and with her eyes in full view, seemed like a completely different person.

“Feng Xian, it’s a misunderstanding! That person is…”

“Xuan De!” Just as I was about to explain, Sun Ce stopped me and shook her head with a smile.

Eh? What does that mean?!
