Chapter 113 — Playing a Drinking Game (1/2)

Xiao Xi has not uttered a word, when suddenly Feng Lingran seized her small hand and pulled her to his side. His big palm did not let go afterwards, his hold got tighter instead.

“Your face is not qualified.”

Feng Lingran pulled Xiao Xi away with him, leaving the woman as pale as a sheet.

She is a well-known actress in the capital. The number of princes and nobles that had asked her out for a stroll could not be said as few. Therefore, she has the courage to appear in front of Feng Lingran. She thought that Feng Lingran would at least appreciate her company when he sees her face, but she did not expect him to say… that her face was not qualified.

The woman’s fingers touches her beautiful face… it was not qualified?

Xiao Xi glanced at Feng Lingran, she had indeed anticipated him to reject the woman’s offer. It ended up being quite the burn. But, it was somewhat expected when taking into consideration the temper of this great Deity. After all, he did almost drown her in the pool.

“Did you go to the thatched hut to find me just now? But I didn’t see you there.”

“Hn, Ben Wang thought that you fell into the pit when your return was delayed.” He said indifferently, but he looked like he was in a good mood.

Xiao Xi pulled the corner of her mouth and rolled her eyes slightly. “Where are we going now?” Are we going back home?”

Feng Lingran did not answer her question even after they boarded the carriage. It was not until later, when they got out of the carriage, did her eyes lit up. In front of her was a luxurious restaurant filled to the brim with customers.

“You’re late. It’s fully booked here. Go to another place!”

The shopkeeper’s fingers whizzed across the golden abacus, flicking beads after beads without rest. He was so immersed with his task that he did not even lift up his head to look at the guests.

Feng Lingran’s black eyes flashed with a hint of menace. His slender fingers tapped at the counter. Suddenly, the golden abacus snapped and splintered, with its golden beads tumbling down.

The startled shopkeeper quickly cupped the abacus beads in front of him with one hand and bent over to pick up the stray beads on the ground with the other……

Feng Lingran’s fingers once again tapped the counter. The golden abacus beads that was cupped by the shopkeeper turned into gold powder.

When the shopkeeper noticed that his hands were full of gold powder, he finally realized that the man in front of him was not a simple person. As soon as the shopkeeper lifted his face and saw Feng Lingran’s cold face, his legs went soft and he knelt on the ground.

“Lord Feng, it’s… It’s you! Damn these poor eyes of a villain.” The shopkeeper raised his hand and slapped his face twice. Gold powder sticks to his face making half of his face look like a bronze statue. Yet this vezed appearance of his looks somewhat funny.

“Even with a full house, this humble one will not let anyone pass before you. Lord Feng, milady, please go up through here to your private room.”

The shopkeeper respectfully invited Feng Lingran and Xiao Xi to an elegant private room on the second floor.

Xiao Xi sat on an intricately carved wooden chair and looked at Feng Lingran with an awed gaze. Just now, he just tapped his fingers lightly, and the golden beads turned into gold powder. Wasn’t that just too overpowered?

Xiao Xi thought to herself, if it was not for the large number of people in the restaurant and if not for the great Deity wanting to eat here, would it not be the shopkeeper who turned into dust?

Just a moment later, she felt an evil glint from Feng Lingran’s eyes.

Xiao Xi knocked her fingers on the table twice and said with a smile, “Deity, how did you do it?”

Feng Lingran glanced at Xiao Xi indifferently, “Want to learn?”

Xiao Xi nodded her head fervently.

“Pour tea.”

“Hah?”

“Tea worship.” 1

Xiao Xi finally understood the meaning, this great Deity is letting her worship him? She has already called Zi Yi as her master, she can’t go and follow this great Deity too.

“Well~ I’m afraid it’s going to be hard to learn. I suddenly don’t want to learn.”

Feng Lingran gave a light hum, but he did not force Xiao Xi to learn.

Not long after, the dishes were served. They were all the most renowned dishes from the restaurant. Soon the table was full.

Xiao Xi smelled the delicious aroma coming from those delicacies and swallowed her saliva. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating. As for having any eating etiquette, it was the least of her consideration.

There were two knocks on the door and the door was pushed open. A man in an embroidered robe came in.

“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet Brother Feng here today.”

Xiao Xi looked up and her eyes flashed. Isn’t this the elder cousin of Yun Ni Junzhu?

Xiao Xi looked behind Yun Beimo. Sure enough, she saw Yun Ni Junzhu glaring daggers at her.

Yun Beimo was not surprised to see Xiao Xi. He pulled a chair for himself and sat down without asking.

The sharp witted waiter who served the dishes brought two pairs of jade chopsticks and wine bottles to Yun Beimo and Yun Ni Junzhu.

Yun Beimo poured the wine and said, “Brother Feng, it’s been a while since we sat down and had a drink together. I remember that the last time we sat together, it was three years ago, at the war frontier…”

Xiao Xi listened to Yun Beimo’s prattle, she looked at Feng Lingran, and was surprised to find that Feng Lingran’s thin lips was slightly raised, it could not really be called a smile but it shows that Feng Lingran seemed to have no objection to his words.

This great Deity may have a personality disorder, but he also remembers everything Feng Lingran had experienced, including Feng Lingran’s visit to the battlefield.

Yun Ni Junzhu sat beside Yun Beimo, listening quietly while glaring at Xiao Xi, her eyes was disdaining and full of provocation.

Elder cousin and Brother Feng have a very close relationship. As long as elder cousin is willing to help her, she believes that soon, Brother Feng will accept her. That Xiao Xi, a woman of low status, could never reach elder cousin’s eyes, nor is she worthy of Brother Feng. Only her, Yun Ni Junzhu, is truly compatible with Brother Feng.
