Chapter 82 - Almost in Tears!
Feng Xun turned his pitiful, pleading eyes on Jun Linyuan.
However, Jun Linyuan looked the other way with his hands behind his back, as if he was savoring some view in the distance.
Feng Xun was almost in tears!
Everyone had decided not to get involved, and pretended that he was a total stranger!
When he finally broke free from the sea of people, his clothes were all crumpled beyond repair.
“You people are unbelievable!” Feng Xun condemned his teammates!
“Blame your own big mouth…” Fairy Muyao shrugged.
“Aren’t you against Feng Wu yourself? How could you not take my side?!” Feng Xun asked indignantly.
Fairy Muyao shrugged. “A wise woman submits to fate, okay? Who knows what got into these commoners? They just stuck up for Feng Wu like crazy people. One wrong word and they think you’re offending her. That’s just insane!”
Feng Xun was so frustrated by how jubilant Fairy Muyao looked.
He waved his hand in exasperation. “No! I won’t put up with it!”
Xuan Yi’s taut face lit up and he blurted out, “… Exactly what do we know about Feng Wu?”
That was like a clap of thunder in everyone’s ears.
What was Feng Wu really like?
Was she dull and joyless?
Or was she enthusiastic, kind, and helpful as the folks claimed?
Xuan Yi went on, “If it were only one or two people, we could question their credibility, but we’re looking at a whole street of people here. Are we going to call all of them liars?”
Fairy Muyao took a step forward, trying to say something, but was at a loss over what to say.
Xuan Yi was right… just look at all those commoners with their knives and rolling pins… They had to be telling the truth!
“If that’s the case, Feng Wu played us!” Feng Xun was so angry that his face turned livid. “Come, let’s go back to the Feng family manor and take her by surprise! I’d like to see the real Feng Wu!”
Feng Xun stormed off.
The others turned to look at Jun Linyuan. After all, he was the one who called the shots, not Feng Xun.
That brooding look had been on Jun Linyuan’s face this entire time. However, he gave a little nod at that moment and turned to walk back toward the Feng family manor.
Xuan Yi was most intrigued. He never expected someone like Boss Jun to play along with Feng Xun’s childish behavior. That was so strange.
Back at the Feng family manor.
Feng Wu gamboled around the courtyard as soon as Jun Linyuan and the others left.
To make up for her unfortunate encounters in Frozen Forest and to celebrate her obtaining the Immortal Spiritual Fruit, Feng Wu prepared a feast for her beautiful mother and Feng Xiaoqi, cooking everything herself.
One only had the best things to say about Feng Wu’s cooking. She was a master in that area.
In less than an hour —
Ten dishes were laid out on the table.
Today, Feng Wu opted for peppery, spicy, and appetizing Sichuan-style cuisine.
Kung pao prawns.
Sliced elk meat in hot chili oil.
Stir-fried vermicelli with spicy minced pork.
Pork fillet with sweet and sour sauce.
Seared green chili peppers.
Braised radish and cured meat.
Steamed beef in rice flour.
–
She made nine scrumptious dishes and paired them with slow-cooked ham with rice.
Once the dishes were set out, the table looked so brightly lit in different shades of red that it was almost dazzling.
However, her mother’s and Feng Xiaoqi’s eyes lit up.
It was hard to imagine that someone with such fine taste like the beautiful lady was in fact a fan of hot, spicy, and savory food like this. How amazing.
Just when they were about to dig into the feast —
