Chapter 201 - Do You Have A Guilty Conscience?
Jun Linyuan dashed off right away.
When they looked again, he had become a little black dot in the far distance.
Seeing that Xuan Yi had also left in a hurry, Feng Xun pulled a long face and turned to Feng Wu. “Feng Wu, my dearest lady, can you maybe spare me for now? I’d really love to hunt down that Demonic Blood Dragon with them!”
Yan Yan looked at Feng Xun in bewilderment. “Cousin, what’s wrong with you? She’s not that genius anymore and you don’t have to show her any respect. Why are you so afraid of her? You can just throw her over the wall!”
Feng Xun gave Yan Yan a “you idiot” look, then took a deep breath. “Are you trying to get me killed?!”
“Huh?” Yan Yan was genuinely baffled. Feng Wu was useless now. There was no point showing her any respect at all. Why on earth was her cousin afraid of the girl so much?!
Feng Xun looked disconsolately at Feng Wu.
Recalling the fleeting image of a dragon in the sky, Feng Wu smiled a little. “Are you ashamed of yourself now?”
“Yes, of course…”
“Do you have a guilty conscience?”
“Yes. Yes, I do…”
“Do you want to repent?”
“I do, I do…”
Yan Yan was dumbfounded. Was this man her cousin? The same arrogant Young Lord Feng of the imperial capital? She had never seen him so docile like this before!
It almost took her breath away in astonishment!
Yan Yan studied Feng Wu with a mix of feelings. What was it about this girl? After Ning Chenxi was swept off his feet, Feng Xun was now hanging on her every word.
Luckily, the crown prince didn’t treat Feng Wu any differently, or Yan Yan would definitely go mad.
Feng Wu had no idea of all the drama in Yan Yan’s head, for all of her attention was fixed on Feng Xun. “Good. Here’s an opportunity for you. Take me with you to that mountain.”
“What?!” Feng Xun shook his head immediately. “No way. You have zero spiritual essence. All hell has broken loose in Death Valley now. Taking you there is as good as killing you.”
“What happened to your shame?
“And guilty conscience?
“And repentance?”
Feng Wu stressed each word in turn.
“The answer is still no! I can’t put you in that much danger!” Feng Xun went on shaking his head.
“So, are you saying that you’re not good enough to keep me safe?” Feng Wu smiled a little. “Feng Xun, I thought you were pretty tough. But as it turns out, you have no confidence in yourself at all.”
Feng Wu had to get on that mountain.
She predicted that this calamity would cause the volcano in Death Valley to erupt!
“You must get that abnormal flame!” Little Phoenix shrieked in the ring. “That’s a Nether Flame! I’ll be able to come out after I consume it! You must get it for me!”
Feng Wu had to get on that mountain not for herself, but for Little Phoenix, which her master had raised for her as a pet. It needed that Nether Flame and it needed it now. Otherwise, it would take forever to find another opportunity like this.
Feng Xun stared at Feng Wu earnestly. “… Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Yes!” Feng Wu kept her gaze on him.
Rubbing his chin, Feng Xun was conflicted. The sensible thing to do was to refuse to take the risk, but when he looked into those beautiful eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say no…
What should he do?
