Chapter 479 - Unless She Admits She Is Dai’er
But Si Mobai did not understand why Lan’er refused to acknowledge it. She even harbored intense hatred towards the ones looking for her like they were her arch enemies. Whenever they were around, she would consume Meditation Grass, to be able to control her emotions.
He thought to himself that it had something to do with the man whom she had mentioned before, the one whom she had liked previously.
“Mobai, he is a good man. I don’t want him to get deceived by the others, but I have already run out of ways to help him.” Feng Tianlan sounded a little helpless. Even though she knew that someone was helping Tu Xiupei with her disguise, she could not do anything except watch Xi Jin get fooled. She did not dare to warn him outright about it.
She was helpless, but also very selfish. She would do only what she could to alert him without giving herself away.
“I am even more worried than you since I am your husband.” Si Mobai sighed. Feng Tianlan only had the power of a Spiritual Grandmaster. If she attracted the suspicions of Shen Yunya who would rather kill innocent people than let her enemies go scot-free, Lan’er would not stand a chance.
Xi Jin was a Middle-stage Heavenly Supreme, Jiang Ying was an Advanced-stage Earth Supreme, and Shen Yunya had the spiritual force of a Middle-stage Earth Supreme.
If these people wanted to kill Lan’er, it would be easy. How could he be at ease if he were to depart first and leave her behind?
“Mobai.” Feng Tianlan looked at him with pleading eyes.
Si Mobai lowered his head and peppered her hair with light kisses. “Lan’er, what I feel for you is true love. Even if your body changes, it would only take one glance for me to recognize you.”
“I am not discussing this with you.”
Tu Xiupei’s acting was very good, it was not Brother Jin’s fault for having mistaken her for Dai’er.
“Lan’er, his heart is not clear enough, that’s why he cannot find the right person. Even if you warned him outright, he might choose to blindly believe the one with the great acting skills, because—” Si Mobai paused, and spoke with sarcasm, “—because everything else is worthless since his heart is blind too.”
Even if he told Xi Jin at this moment that Lan’er was the “Dai’er” they were looking for, would he believe it? Perhaps, compared to someone like Tu Xiupei who had already established herself as Dai’er, he would find that unbelievable.
Firstly, he had been deceived by outward appearances which formed a person’s first impressions. Secondly, his heart had already chosen to believe Tu Xiupei was Dai’er—he would not trust any other.
As such, even if Lan’er revealed the truth right now, Xi Jin would not be convinced. Furthermore, he might even doubt Lan’er’s intentions in exposing the matter.
Ultimately, Si Mobai believed the saying that insensitive men were the most annoying ones.
Feng Tianlan fell silent as she contemplated what Si Mobai said. He was right. She had lost the opportunity to clarify things first, thus even if she disclosed the truth at this moment, she would only invite suspicion. But despite such a prospect, she was not ready to give up.
“Still, I want to give it a try.” How could she know that Brother Jin would not believe her if she did not even try?
Si Mobai looked at her for a while, then nodded in the end. “Alright, but not before they leave.”
“Of course.” Feng Tianlan knew that he was making the biggest compromise she could ask of him.
But she had no choice. She needed to let Brother Jin know that Tu Xiupei was an imposter, or at the very least make him doubt her identity. She had to come up with some foolproof plan…

Mist filled the air. Amidst the blurry landscape, a lady sat with her back facing the door.
She cleaned herself, the drops of water glistening on her beautiful back made her look very alluring. She was humming a song happily while examining her delicate body.
Suddenly, the door behind the lady opened slowly and gently. A figure walked in with an even leisurely pace. The lady who was preoccupied with bathing herself did not notice the movement and continued to bath happily.
Soon, the figure was standing directly behind the lady, looking down at her tender and lovely skin from above. Her plump and full breasts which were barely visible under the water loomed seductively.
At the sight of this, the figure’s lips curved upward gently into a smile, and hands extended to touch the lady’s soft and fair shoulders.
