Chapter 1571: Chapter 965: The Flower We Admire Together (Part 2)

"Bai Shuang, that person intends to cause trouble for you. Don’t let her lead you by the nose."

"She is not an Immortal Lord from the heavens like you think. She is the Enchanting Demon Ning Feiyan from the Mohe, and she’s a woman! She’s a woman!"

Ning Feiyan looked at Baili An with great surprise: "You’re so honest, telling her all about us?"

Although Ning Feiyan wasn’t sure when Baili An regained his memories, through their interactions during the banquet, and the frequent exchanges of glances between him and Yin Baishuang, she had guessed something.

Yin Baishuang widened her almond eyes slightly, forgetting to be angry for a moment, and stared fixedly at Ning Feiyan’s face: "Are you that... Enchanting Demon?"

Ning Feiyan smiled charmingly at her: "Yes, indeed, Lord Sparrow."

Compared to the dashing Rong Lijun, Ning Feiyan was evidently much easier for Yin Baishuang to accept.

The redness in her eyes had not faded, but the discomfort in her gaze had lessened. Her brows furrowed as she scrutinized Ning Feiyan up and down.

"How did you recognize me? And why, as a female Enchanting Demon, did you come to create a stir at the marriage proposal banquet of Shifang City’s third lady?"

Ning Feiyan felt slightly surprised not to see the expected hostility and prejudice in Yin Baishuang’s eyes.

She raised an eyebrow with a smile and said: "It’s not like Young Palace Master Yin hasn’t seen my skills in the Demon World. I’m best at gathering intelligence and secrets."

"With such a grand affair as the Golden Immortal auction, I had to lay out some plans early on in Shifang City. Many things that others don’t know might not be hidden from me."

Yin Baishuang scrutinized her with a burning gaze: "Did you really come to Shifang City just to join the excitement?"

Ning Feiyan chuckled: "I wouldn’t wake up early unless there was something to gain."

Yin Baishuang drew out a long "Oh?" and said, "But I heard that while the Golden Immortal is auctioning the Ancient True Dragon, your Demon World’s River Lord of Erhe has already secretly arrived in Shifang City. I figured that the River Lord came because of Zangxin."

Ning Feiyan’s smile froze slightly for a moment before returning to her usual demeanor: "Young Palace Master Yin, you jest. I’ve always kept the peace with Erhe Zangxin; there’s no reason for me to come specifically for him."

Baili An also felt that it wasn’t credible that Ning Feiyan’s purpose in coming to Shifang City was Zangxin.

Ning Feiyan’s cunning nature matched evenly with Zangxin.

Moreover, having been expelled from the Demon World, she had already found it difficult to establish and expand her forces in the Mortal World.

If she chose this moment to provoke Zangxin, it would only bring harm without benefit.

Yin Baishuang took the umbrella that Baili An had been holding for her.

Seeing Baili An blown by the wind and snow for so long, she felt some heartache and shifted the umbrella to share half with him.

She smiled faintly and said: "In the Demon World when I saw you, Lady Ning Demon, you always seemed indifferent to warmth and cold, to life and death, to happiness and anger.

One moment you could tease someone tenderly, but the next moment you could gently and gracefully cut off their head with a blade, as if you could forever control yourself without ever losing control for a second."

"But when I saw Lady Ning Demon again in the Mortal World, you looked entirely different."

"Despite your denial, even in my three years of confusion and madness, I heard some rumors about you, the Lord of Sanhe."

"For the past three years, you have tied Erhe Zangxin closely."

"In the past millennium, wherever there were hidden agents of his in any Immortal Sect, dynasty, Evil Barbarian Land, or Dark City in the Mortal World, you would inevitably uproot them."

"Wherever he appeared, there would always be a brutal bloodbath upon even the slightest hint."

"In the past, your name as Lord of Sanhe was often associated with charming allure, but in recent years, anyone who mentioned your name would be terrified, sensing a heavy killing intent. Speaking of which..."

Yin Baishuang’s gaze shifted, and she took the other umbrella from Baili An’s hand to hold it over Ning Feiyan.

She wore a mocking smile and said: "Even earlier, during the banquet before my little An arrived, when you sat alone, despite your deliberate flamboyant attire,

there was still a lingering ferocity around you."

Saying so, she turned her almond eyes, looking Ning Feiyan up and down with a strange expression: "But I don’t know when this ferocity disappeared."

Ning Feiyan’s composed and profound smile had completely frozen.

Baili An curiously looked at Yin Baishuang and seriously asked: "Before this, was her face... really unpleasant at the banquet?"

He couldn’t imagine, given Ning Feiyan’s adept and versatile nature, what she would look like sulking in such a setting.

"To say her face was simply unpleasant is an understatement; she looked as if she was filled with the resentment of a woman who lost her man, much like Su Jing back then."

Ning Feiyan chuckled lightly, her smile turning quite indifferent: "Young Palace Master Yin, you couldn’t even tell if I was a man or woman, so how could you see through my mood so clearly?

Even nonsense... should have some sense."

"Nonsense?"

Yin Baishuang shoved the umbrella she held into Ning Feiyan’s arms and took Baili An’s hand, pulling him aside. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She pointed at the various vibrant flowers in the courtyard, blooming gracefully and dazzling amidst the snowy white landscape.

"Look, aren’t the flowers in this courtyard lovely?"

Baili An froze, staring intently at the splendid blooms, exclaiming in surprise: "When did these flowers bloom so well?"

On his way here, he clearly remembered that in this vast garden, amidst the harsh wind and heavy snow, only those plum blossoms bloomed brilliantly.
