Chapter 435: With Jingyue (2/2)
Feiyun replied: “I can find the formations and marks left behind by that Enlightened Being.”
Jingyue interjected with a sneer: “Boasting again, an Enlightened Being’s formations and marks have their own dao. One can’t see it unless they were at the same level.”
Even a Giant couldn’t distinguish and find these marks, let alone Feiyun.
“Little girl, you’re purposely antagonizing me. Fine, I don’t give a damn whether you believe me or not.” Feiyun retorted.
No one dared to call her a little girl beside Feng Feiyun. She was really angry this time and shouted: “Feng Feiyun, you must have been a wretched bird in your last life with a foul mouth like that.” [1]
“A bird…” Feng Feiyun murmured to himself while thinking that this damned woman got it so right. Even though a phoenix wasn’t really wretched, it was still definitely a bird.
Jingshui rubbed his forehead again. These two are fated enemies. One was a graceful noble daughter while the other was the world-renowned son of the demon. However, they turned into brats that were always at odds when together.
Another scream came outside. It looked like another had gone down. The atmosphere became quite tense.
Jingshui grimaced and said: “Feiyun, you and I will go find the marks from the Enlightened Being. I’m sure we’re capable enough to survive this.”
“Then… what do I do?” Xiaoxiang quietly said. She felt insecure being away from Feiyun for too long.
Jingyue spoke up: “I will protect you.”
The other three instantly stared at her with skepticism.
Jingyue felt uncomfortable from the stares and deepened her tone: “You three don’t believe me?”
“Cough, Miss Dongfang, everyone knows you are unhappy about Maestro Ye. What if you bully her after we leave? It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that… you can be petty…” Feiyun said.
Feiyun had already experienced Jingyue’s grudge so how could he dare to leave Xiaoxiang with her. Maybe when he came back, Xiaoxiang’s face would be swollen beyond recognition.
Jingshui, more than anyone else, was aware that his little sister had some kind of romantic feeling for Feng Feiyun so she considered Xiaoxiang to be a love rival. Who knows what will happen if they were to leave these two alone?
Jingshui pondered for a moment and said: “I got an idea. I’ll stay, Jingyue and Feiyun, the two of you go find the marks.”
“What, us two?!” Feiyun was surprised.
Jingyue stood up and said: “I agree.”
‘Agree your sister!’ Feiyun wanted to yell this out but he refrained from doing so since this was still the best course of action. After all, he didn’t feel right leaving Xiaoxiang with the grudgeful Jingyue.
He was completely confident in “water head” and his ability to keep Xiaoxiang safe. He took out a purple flute and gave it to her: “Take care, I’ll be back for you.”
“Mmm, you be careful too. It’s more dangerous outside and you need to especially look out for … I feel that she really hates you.” Xiaoxiang accepted the flute with her jade-like hand.
Feiyun nodded: “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be watching my back.”
Jingyue naturally heard every word from these two. She was about to explode while nearly breaking the pipa in her hands. Nevertheless, she still maintained a nonchalant demeanor.
“They’re big bullies.” Jingshui sent Jingyue a telepathic message while wearing an amused grin.
“None of your business.” Jingyue frowned and sent a message back.
“Little girl, let’s go.” Feiyun walked over and pulled her shoulder forward, making her tumble and nearly fall.
“You…” Jingyue became angry again but he was already standing outside. She calmed down and went out as well.
Jingshui murmured to himself: “I’m regretting letting these two go together, the future is so grim…”
1. This line doesn’t make as much sense in English, but I kept it literal because the next lines require a literal translation. ”鸟人” (bird man) sometimes has a derogative meaning as a ”wretch”, but also often used between close friends as affectionate appellation like ”fellow”.
