Chapter 459 - She Is Tu Xiupei, Not Dai’er
Si Mobai finally got out of the bed, feeling content. He took her clothes and helped her put them on with tender care. Then he kneeled to help her tie her shoelaces. He did these things so naturally as if he had done it countless times.
“Mobai, were you jealous just now?” Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She had detected hints of jealousy from him.
Si Mobai stood up and held her slim waist. He lowered his head and looked at her. “Is it that rare for me to be jealous?”
Feng Tianlan giggled. She, who had long been held down by depressing hatred, finally felt a breath of fresh air at this moment. In the future, she wanted to stand together with him through thick and thin and fight all her battles alongside him.
The door squeaked open.
Xi Jin, who had been waiting, raised his head and looked into the room. He saw the girl slowly walk out into the sunlight from the darkness of the interior. Her perfect, unrivaled beauty, those shimmering phoenix eyes, and the indescribable aura that surrounded her.
She looked like a fairy who was walking slowly towards him on sunshine.
In that instant, he felt a flutter in his heart. The girl in front of him seemed to overlap with the figure in his heart. Dai’er!
The shout that almost came out of his mouth was swallowed back down into his throat as she spoke. He stared at her blankly.
“What does Your Supremacy want to ask me?” Feng Tianlan had concealed her emotions. She faced Xi Jin just like she would face any other complete stranger. Her eyes were filled with unfamiliarity, her expression was cold, and her voice was indifferent.
All these made him feel like a complete stranger!
Xi Jin shifted his gaze from her face to Si Mobai who was standing beside her. His gaze then slowly fell upon their interlocking fingers. Finally, his gaze went back to her face. The familiarity he felt before disappeared completely.
She was not Dai’er. He had found Dai’er. And she was the woman who had hurt Dai’er.
“I want to ask you for something.”
Feng Tianlan frowned slightly. “I don’t remember Your Supremacy leaving anything in the Feng Manor. Have you given me anything before?”
“Cinnabar field.”
“What?” Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at him with doubt. Did she mishear what he just said?
“Dai’er’s Cinnabar field,” Xi Jin repeated in a deep voice.
Feng Tianlan feigned ignorance. “Dai’er?” Was he referring to Tu Xiupei?
“She is also known as Pei’er,” Xi Jin said in a deep voice. Dai’er was Pei’er here.
Feng Tianlan’s eyes sank. She did not say a word. Had he simply concluded that Tu Xiupei was Shen Qingdai in such a short period of time?
Xi Jin took her reaction as a rejection and said, “Out at sea, you were going to be assassinated. Dai’er used the Natal Phoenix to save your lives. But because of that, her Cinnabar field was completely destroyed. Only the Cinnabar field of a blood relative can restore her Cinnabar field.”
“You want me to use my Cinnabar field to fill up hers?” Feng Tianlan stared straight at Xi Jin. She was very uncomfortable listening to these words coming out of his mouth.
Was he still the Brother Jin that she once knew?
Si Mobai, who was initially cold towards him, became even colder when he heard those words. His handsome demonic face looked as if it had been frozen by a thick layer of ice.
Xi Jin raised his head and glanced at Si Mobai who was angry about this coercion. He frowned slightly at his reaction and said gently, “She sacrificed herself to save all of you. You guys should be grateful to her and return the favor. I will compensate you for this as well. I will guarantee all your daily needs. I will even give you the highest position in the Guiyuan Continent. No one will dare to bully you ever again.”
Feng Tianlan squeezed Si Mobai’s hand when she saw that he was about to go on a rampage because of what had been said. She took a deep breath and responded, “She told you that she destroyed her Cinnabar field for me? Did she send you to ask for my Cinnabar field?”
“Dai’er did not say that.”
Feng Tianlan held back the urge to reveal the truth to him as she snapped in a cold voice, “She is Tu Xiupei, not this Dai’er person that you keep referring to.”
