“Don’t push yourself so hard next time. You’ve impressed many people, but you’ve frightened me half to death.”
Luo Yunzhu thought about the suspenseful battle that had taken place earlier. Her heart was still unsettled from all the action. It was just too exciting. She had watched with her own eyes as Tianlan reached the brink of death again and again, and yet managed to survive each attack. It was so nerve-wracking that someone with heart disease could have really died from a heart attack.
In response to Luo Yunzhu’s concern for her, Feng Tianlan smiled gently and nodded, “It’s just that, if I hadn’t push myself hard at that point, I would have ended up like Feng Xiuyu.”
She wasn’t pushing herself too hard and was trying to survive. Fighting enemies wasn’t a matter of forcing oneself to the limit, but a question of survival. Luo Yunzhu froze for a while before she understood what Feng Tianlan meant.
“Tianlan, I’ll take the Marrow Cleansing Pill tomorrow.”
I must become stronger, she thought. Then, if something like this happens again, I will have enough power to break through the force field and save Tianlan, and she won’t have to risk her life.
“I’ll go home now. I’ll come back and accompany you tomorrow.”
“Rest here tonight! Feng Xiang must be furious, so if you go back now, I don’t know what he’ll do to you. And since you humiliated Si Rong so badly today, he’s definitely going to kill you,” Luo Yunzhu hurriedly said. She felt that this was the wrong time to leave the Luo residence.
Feng Tianlan smiled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare. Besides, if anything happens to me now, they’ll be the first suspects.”
Seeing that she was so insistent on going home, Luo Yunzhu could only say, “I’ll send you home then.”
Feng Tianlan did not refuse, so Luo Yunzhu sent her back to Feng Manor. They did not meet any danger along the way. Immediately after Luo Yunzhu and Chuling stepped out, Si Mobai pushed the door open and went into her room. Feng Tianlan was not surprised to see Si Mobai. She looked up and watched as he walked with the aura of a celestial being. It was as if he were a god treading on moonlight, moving hearts with every step. The red sand dot between his eyebrows was even more hypnotizing.
From the moment they left the Luo residence, she could feel his presence. Because of him, the way back was safe. Si Mobai looked at the deathly pale Feng Tianlan, took out a pill from a ceramic bottle, and passed it to her.
“Thank you.” Feng Tianlan took the pill from him. With one look at it she, looked back at Si Mobai in shock. “Grade 8 Quick Healing Pill!”
Quick Healing Pills were even more valuable than Nurturing Pills. A Quick Healing Pill was able to heal external wounds in just two hours, and it could heal internal injuries in only twelve hours. In any case, this was the best sort of healing medicine, and there was nobody in the Guiyuan Continent who was able to create Quick Healing Pills. But if Si Mobai could produce a Grade 8 pill, there must be a story behind this.
He was surprised that she could identify the Quick Healing Pill because it was not available in the Guiyuan Continent. If she knew what it was, that signaled that she wasn’t from the Guiyuan Continent.
“Wargod…”
“Mobai.” Si Mobai’s light, elegant voice was very soothing.
Feng Tianlan froze. She wanted to say that they didn’t know each other very well, so there was no reason to address each other on a first-name basis.
“Wargod…”
“Mobai.” Si Mobai frowned. He disliked having to repeat himself.
Feng Tianlan didn’t know how to handle his insistence, so she started again, “Well…why are you helping me like this? I heard that you are a…”
Misogynist! Since he’d helped her so much, she didn’t want to mention his problem out loud.
“Because it’s you,” Si Mobai replied quietly. He was a misogynist for a reason. It had plagued him since childhood, all his life—until he met her.
