Chapter 60: Falling Deeply into Si Mobai's Beauty
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ever since he was a child, the moment a woman touched him, he suffered all sorts of ailments. In less severe cases, he experienced an extremely itchy rash; in more serious cases, he fainted. The worst incident was when a woman had forcibly grabbed his hand, and he'd fallen ill for a long time.
Of course, the most important difference was this: his heart was normally as still as stagnant waters, but whenever he saw Feng Tianlan, his heart leaped. The feeling was too difficult to describe. Put simply, it was only when Feng Tianlan was around that he felt truly alive.
Besides, the emperor, Si Ming, had told him before that she was actually his fiancée, but due to some things that happened long ago, the betrothal had been wrongly made with his brother. Regardless of the reason, she still made his heart come alive, and that was enough reason for him to give her special treatment.
The only problem was that the enemies they would face in the future were becoming stronger and stronger, and they would consider them weak. Even if Si Mobai wanted to protect Feng Tianlan, she needed to become stronger on her own. That way, they would be able to defend themselves together against powerful enemies!
Feng Tianlan wrinkled her brow slightly, searching her memory. Even after sifting through the memories of both the body she had taken over and her previous body, she couldn't find any trace of ever talking to or even seeing Si Mobai before.
"Did we know each other before this?"
Feng Tianlan looked up at Si Mobai. His eyes were as beautiful as flowers. They sparkled like the stars. He could capture souls with just one look. Even though things that had happened to her in her previous incarnation had made her wary of men, she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding just by looking into his eyes. She was falling deeply into his…beauty! Yes, beauty! Si Mobai was just a man, but the first impression he gave off was one of such immense beauty. He was so incomparably beautiful. However, on second look, one also realized that this beauty was poisonous and fatal, so one could only look from afar.
"Because it's you, not because of anything that happened before." Si Mobai's beautiful eyes gazed at Feng Tianlan. They were cold yet amorous at the same time.
When she heard these words, Feng Tianlan felt shocked, but she pretended that she just didn't understand what he was talking about and kept a straight face. He seemed to know something she didn't, but what?
"I have to leave South Peace City for a few days to attend to some matters. You rest up," Si Mobai said, then turned to leave.
After watching her fight today, he'd realized she lacked a good weapon, so he'd decided to find a Spiritual Weapon for her. There were better items out there, but, given her current abilities, using a Spiritual Weapon would work best for her.
Feng Tianlan watched Si Mobai disappear like a fairy into the distance. She frowned and tried to search her previous body's memories again, but she was very sure that she had never known or crossed paths with Si Mobai. Still, Si Mobai had said something strange—did he mean that they'd crossed paths in a previous lifetime? Impossible. She couldn't figure out why the famous misogynist, Si Mobai, was behaving like this. She decided not to think about it anymore and just get some rest. More trouble was waiting for her. Feng Xiuyu and Si Rong wouldn't let the matter go so easily.
Back at the Heavenly Phoenix Court, Si Rong looked anxiously at Su Ji. He was a Grade 5 Alchemist who worked for the royal family, and his skills were a cut above the rest. Si Rong was counting on him to save Yu'er.
"How is it?" Si Rong asked anxiously when he saw Su Ji finish the check-up.
Feng Xiuyu, Feng Xiang, and Xu Jiayi were all looking anxiously at Su Ji.
"Your cinnabar field has burst, so you are unable to gather spirits. Your meridian channels have been overstretched, so you are also unable to train," Su Ji said solemnly. He felt that it was a pity that a genius like Feng Xiuyu was ruined, just like that. What a pity!
"That's impossible, Yu'er is a genius! How can she be considered useless now?" Xu Jiayi screamed in agony, refusing to believe that her genius daughter had become useless.
