OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 686: Bai Zhi’er, When Have I Ever Made You Afraid?
General Fang also promptly extended a warm invitation.
"Yes, my humble abode is ready to present a few dishes, and we ask for Your Highness the Princess’s favor."
Zhi’er touched her slightly flattened belly with her small hand.
Now that it was mentioned, she realized she was indeed hungry.
The little girl blinked her bright, shiny eyes.
"Uncle General, is the food at your place delicious?"
Before General Fang could answer, Brother Wuxi enthusiastically said, "Delicious!"
"The cook who prepares meals for us was brought from Shu by my mother before she passed away, with unique flavors - spicy and numbing. Little Sister Zhi’er, you surely haven’t tasted these flavors!"
Hearing this, Zhi’er couldn’t help but lick her pink lips and nodded repeatedly, "I want to taste it!"
Brother Wuxi was overjoyed and immediately had someone arrange for the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
General Fang clasped his hands in a welcoming gesture, "Princess, please move to the main hall for rest."
At this moment, Lu Wang’s voice was heard from the doorway—
"Asura envoy on a case!"
General Fang frowned.
Everyone turned to look, seeing four squads of Asura envoys lined up on both sides.
Feng Fuce stepped into the courtyard in black boots, his gaze cold and dark.
Zhi’er blinked in bewilderment, her face expressing confusion.
"Brother Ce, didn’t you leave?"
Feng Fuce glanced at her, speaking in a cold tone, "I’m here to investigate a case."
Brother Wuxi frowned, "What case? Marquis Wan, don’t abuse your power! Why trouble my family over our grievances?"
General Fang grabbed him, pulling him behind him.
"Marquis, may I ask what wrongdoing have I committed? What does the Fang family need to assist in investigating?" General Fang asked, maintaining his composure.
Feng Fuce’s gaze remained dark and indifferent.
"Several official families in the city have suffered thefts. I fear the Fang family might also be targeted, so I wish to stay here briefly."
Brother Wuxi, hearing this, shouted incredulous accusations.
"Marquis Wan! What a high-sounding reason you’ve found, I bet you’re the thief yourself!"
Feng Fuce’s eyes were deep and piercing, filled with a murderous aura.
General Fang immediately rebuked Brother Wuxi, "Hold your tongue!"
Then, he presented his hands to Feng Fuce, "We are at the Marquis’ command, and I will fully cooperate."
Feng Fuce had not come to make trouble.
Thus, his gaze flicked toward the oblivious Zhi’er.
He asked General Fang, "What were you about to do?"
General Fang replied, "The Princess was visiting the residence for a meal. If the Marquis doesn’t mind, you may join us."
Feng Fuce nodded slightly, "Very well, you may proceed with your preparations."
"Yes, indeed." General Fang turned around and pulled Brother Wuxi to leave.
But Brother Wuxi tried to shake off his hand, "Father! It’s clear as day Marquis Wan is doing it on purpose..."
Before finishing his sentence, General Fang pressed down on his head forcefully, "Move!"
Brother Wuxi flailed and struggled, shouting, "Little Sister Zhi’er, wait for me; I’ll be right back. Don’t be afraid of him! With me here, he can’t do anything to you!"
Feng Fuce heard this and let out a cold laugh.
He walked up to the little girl, hands behind his back, looking leisurely at her round, tender face.
"Brother Wuxi told you not to fear me. Zhi’er, when have I made you feel fear?"
Zhi’er blinked her innocent big eyes, "Nope, Brother Wu She was the one who said it, not me! I’ve never been afraid of Brother Ce."
Feng Fuce let out a cold chuckle.
Although he seemed disdainful, his gaze softened considerably.
He walked straight towards the inner courtyard. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Zhi’er chased him for a few steps, but her small feet couldn’t keep up with his pace, so she could only fall behind slowly.
After Feng Fuce entered the back garden, he stopped.
Looking back, he saw Zhi’er had already been distracted by a persimmon tree.
She hadn’t intended to follow him at all.
