Chapter 392 Blindsided in the Eleventh Hour! (1/2)

Feng Jiu walked over to the table and sat down, smiling, ”I have good news to tell you, father.”

”Tea, Mistress,” said Leng Hua who was attending to Feng Xiao as he poured a cup of tea and placed it before her.

”Mm, thank you,” she said as she looked up to him and nodded with a smile.

Supping the porridge from his bowl, Feng Xiao wiped his mouth and placed the bowl on the table. ”So what's this good news?” he asked as he looked up to her inquiringly.

Pursing her lips to sip from her cup, she said, ”Those men are dead.”

Shocked, he blinked in surprise as a glimmer seemed to s.h.i.+ne from his eyes. Lowering his voice, he asked with interest, ”Those two old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?”

”Mm, it's been taken care of,” Feng Jiu said with a harmless smile. ”From now on,” she said, casually, ”you don't have to worry about them coming around here or sabotaging us anymore. And we've hobbled Murong Bo, for the time being. We've killed two birds with one stone.”

As grave as the circ.u.mstances they found themselves in were, Feng Jiu seemed to treat the matter almost without a second thought. Hearing her say this and looking at the spirit in her eyes, Feng Xiao couldn't help but whoop with laughter, exclaiming ”Great. Excellent. Good! Haha, this is just great!”

In his rejoicing, he had forgotten his internal injuries, and in laughing, he shuddered as his chest pained him.

”Father, you're still unwell!” said Feng Jiu as she rolled her eyes, chagrined by his sudden abandon, forgetting how to conserve his energy.

Rubbing his chest with one hand and catching a breath, he let out a deep sigh. ”Aigh!” said Feng Xiao, ”If only your grandfather were here, this news would be all the more pleasant to hear!”
