The emperor, Si Ming, looked at Si Rong and sighed. Why doesn’t he know when to stop? Why is he so silly? Si Ming thought to himself. He should have corrected the mistake of the engagement. Then, they wouldn’t be in this situation today. Then again, Si Rong also made everything even more complicated, which made the mistake harder to fix.
“It doesn’t matter what terms you use. Annul the engagement or repudiate your fiancé. As per your wishes, this engagement is now invalid,” Si Ming declared.
Then, he turned and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Si Mobai and Feng Tianlan. If he wanted to keep this foolish son of his alive, he would have to send Si Rong out of South Peace City and create a new territory and home for him. Otherwise, sooner or later, he might lose his life.
After the emperor had taken his leave, Feng Tianlan looked at the ashen-faced Si Rong with scorn and said, “Congratulations, Third Prince, on being able to marry the woman you love now. I’m sure Third Prince will love my third sister even more now that her cinnabar field has been destroyed.”
“What did you say?” Si Rong looked at Feng Tianlan in confusion. If Yu’er’s cinnabar field was destroyed, she was useless to him.
Feng Tianlan looked up and saw an equally shocked Feng Xiang as well as a pale and trembling Feng Xiuyu. She laughed in their faces. Then she turned to Luo Yunzhu and Chuling and said, “Let’s go.”
“Feng Tianlan!” Feng Xiuyu clenched her teeth as she called out after her. She knew that her cinnabar field was indeed severely damaged.
“This match was to see who would live and who would die, and each has to bear her own consequences. Especially the consequences of consuming illegal medicine—you deserved that,” Feng Tianlan replied coldly.
If Feng Xiang had not interfered, she would have already killed Feng Xiuyu. Since they hadn’t wanted to die with just one blow, she’d granted them this wish.
Luo Yunzhu scanned the arena and said in a serious voice, “All of you idiots who said things like ‘I will eat feces and castrate myself,’ if I find out you haven’t fulfilled these promises, I’ll hunt you down, one by one, and make sure it gets done.”
With that, she quickly ran to catch up with Feng Tianlan. Tianlan had become much stronger; so, Yunzhu too, had to become stronger. Only then would she be better able to protect Tianlan. Feng Xiang turned his eyes back to Si Mobai. He wanted to know why he had helped Feng Tianlan, again and again. He couldn’t understand why he would help someone whom he didn’t even know.
“Tianlan!” Luo Yunzhu suddenly screamed.
“Miss!”
Everyone followed the sound and saw the figure, which had been standing straight as bamboo earlier, suddenly collapse onto the ground. Si Mobai wanted to help since everyone was in a panic, but he saw Feng Xiang looking at him and decided not to go over. She was still too weak and needed to grow more powerful first. If he went to help her now, it would not do her any good.
Feng Xiang saw Luo Yunzhu carry off the unconscious Feng Tianlan and disappear. Meanwhile, Si Mobai had only glanced over when he’d first heard the commotion. He gave no further reaction and went back to his usual icy, godlike self. Since it seemed like Si Mobai didn’t fancy Feng Tianlan, Feng Xiang didn’t have to worry about him.
This battle had left Feng Tianlan with a serious internal injury. After all, there was still a large gap between her skill level and Feng Xiuyu’s. What’s more, Feng Xiuyu had taken an illegal medicine that had increased her power suddenly. She had used up all her strength to fight back but had still been severely injured. Luo Yuanjie had given her a Grade 8 Nurturing Pill, and she regained consciousness soon after that.
“Tianlan, how are you feeling?” Luo Yunzhu saw that she had woken up. She quickly got her a glass of water and helped her to sit up.
Feng Tianlan saw the worry written on Luo Yunzhu’s face and drank some water before weakly replying, “Don’t worry, it’s not a serious injury.”
“Not a serious injury? You almost severed your meridian channels, broke two bones, nearly lost your life, and became useless—and you still say this was not a serious injury?” Luo Yunzhu rubbed her forehead in anger. “Is your head broken too? How can you say this is not serious? Do you think you are made of iron?”
Feng Tianlan chuckled. Compared to having her bones removed, her skin peeled off, and her eyes gouged out, this was a light injury. So long as she wasn’t dead, no injury could be called ‘serious.’
