848 The Four Seasons Tower’s Headquarters (1/2)

Yun Yang grinned.

”You were the one who complained about recovering your original appearance before this and suddenly, you haven't mentioned it at all. Can't I be curious?”

Ji Lingxi snorted and tipped her chin high up. Resting her hands behind her back, she went forward skipping in joy but she spoke with feigned pride, ”I'm actually worried for you. I'm afraid that my true face will enrapture you instantly. What should we do then?”

Yun Yang pursed his lips and replied softly, ”This young master has met many people. These include absolute beauties, alluring femme fatales; I've met plenty of them as well. You, a mere young little girl, boasting that you'll enrapture me… hilarious!”

”Whatever you say. I'm not letting you see my real face anyway. Try me if you can!” Ji Lingxi skipped forward with her arms behind her back.

Yun Yang sighed with a palm on his forehead, not answering her for a long time.

'Try you? How do I do that? I'll be put down once I try…'

When the both of them first met, Ji Lingxi was already wearing her disguise. Not only that, she was wearing a mask as well. When she moved to the Residence of Yun later, she was still wearing her face veil. It remained so until she left Tiantang City for the first time to search for Ji Lingfeng.

When she finally returned the second time around, it was pure coincidence that she was being pursued by Lei Dongtian. To avoid Lei Dongtian's ulterior motive, she was forced to disguise herself as an ugly lady. When she moved to Yun Yang's house, her disguise was not removed but was covered entirely by the herbs Yun Yang had given to her.

Prior to this, when the crises had been resolved, Ji Lingxi yearned to remove the disguise and was arduously searching for the antidote, but it was in vain. Now that the medicinal potency was near due, she was not in a hurry instead. Ji Lingxi had even prepared new herbs to disguise herself for the time when Yun Yang's initial one was cured. She was not planning to see anyone wearing her real face…

No matter how intelligent and gifted Yun Yang was, he could not understand the psychology behind such a decision.

Did they not say that a girl would doll herself up for the one she liked? Why was this girl different from others?

”Lingxi, honestly, I can make a blend of the antidote easily,” Yun Yang said chuckling, ”Look, I'm totally different with you. I don't even know what you look like yet I've already liked you. I don't judge a book by its cover at all!”

Ji Lingxi scoffed with skepticism written across her face.

”I'm not allured by beauty, did you not know?”

”Hmph!”

”Wash your disguise away. Let me see what my love looks like,” said Yun Yang, ”We'll definitely be separated when we first get to the Bound of Universe later on. I don't want to not be able to recognize you when we meet afterward. Won't it be a joke then?”

Ji Lingxi lifted her chin defiantly and replied, ”Exactly what I planned would happen. When that time comes, I'll seduce you with my original appearance. You'll be a bastard if you actually fall for me!”

”And if I don't?” Yun Yang pulled a long face.

”Then you're not satisfied with me! You don't like someone like me! What could I ask for when you're not even interested in me?” Ji Lingxi answered in a matter-of-fact tone.

Yun Yang then asked cautiously, ”Do you wish that I take no interest in you or do you wish that I'm a bastard?”

”Just be yourself. Whether you don't like me or you're a bastard, I'll accept the reality of the situation. I'm not one who doesn't resign herself to fate!” Ji Lingxi rolled her eyes.

”Ji Lingfeng! F*cking come out and look at your baby sister! Is there even a way to survive this? She's forcing me into a corner!” Yun Yang moaned into the sky.

Ji Lingxi chortled happily.

”It's useless even if you call for him. He has never dared keep me in check since we were young, what more now? Put me in my place yourself if you can!”

Yun Yang sighed in despair.

In spite of this, he was reluctant to give up. He continued to persuade and pacify Ji Lingxi, only to realize that all his efforts were futile. The maiden simply refused to comply. In the end, he could only give up.
