Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 228: The Origins of the Five Great Families and the Seven Hidden Clans (6)
"Yes, although Tinglan and I have only met twice, we do have a certain rapport. Additionally, at this critical juncture, we cannot afford to leave any threats for the Xuanyuan Hidden Clan. Having one more ally is always better than one more enemy," Feng Xuxu explained the intricacies to Xiaobai.
"Yes, Sister, I feel that the poison she planted is extraordinary. I seem to have smelled the scent of an Ancient Divine Beast on her," Xiaobai said, lifting his tiger eyes and staring at Sister Feng.
"What? Are you saying that beyond yourself, there’s another Divine Beast still alive?" Feng Xuxu asked in surprise.
"Impossible, because the Ancient Divine Beasts have already vanished. We are only here today because of this space," Xiaobai firmly rejected what Feng Xuxu had said, as these were recorded in the books within the space.
"Then how can you say you seemed to smell the scent of an Ancient Divine Beast?"
"Because of the blood. The blood of a Divine Beast is naturally extremely poisonous and carries distinct scents. However, on the flip side, if someone is poisoned, then a Divine Beast’s blood becomes the holy antidote," Xiaobai stated proudly, unaware that after hearing this, Feng Xuxu’s eyes lit up as she looked at him.
Seeing this, Feng Xuxu patted Xiaobai on the head: "So that means your blood can do the same. I didn’t expect you to be so magnificent."
"Of course. I am, after all, a descendant of a Divine Beast." Xiaobai swished his tail, lifting his head high with a haughty expression.
Listening to him, Feng Xuxu clapped her hands together and said, "Alright then, it’s up to you now. Give me some of your blood."
Just a moment ago, White Tiger was proudly proclaiming how precious his blood was. But the very next moment, he wished he could bite off his tongue. Sister Feng was too ruthless, demanding his blood to save someone who wasn’t even important!
"Sister, are you seriously going to draw my blood? My blood isn’t worth silver, please spare me." From the previously majestic tiger who looked down on other animals, he now resembled a sick cat, the change was stark.
Feng Xuxu laughed upon seeing this, muttering, "Acting tough in front of your sister, huh? Now suffer the consequences."
"Well, depending on your performance, if you do well, I won’t draw your blood. If not, hmph, you know what’ll happen," Feng Xuxu warned Xiaobai with a mixture of bluff and intimidation.
After hearing this, Xiaobai extended his paw, stroking his trembling little heart and liver. He had been nearly scared out of his wits. Then, raising his paw, he assured his sister, "Sister, rest assured, I will definitely be a good boy. Even if I saw you and the Charm King in action, I’d never speak of it to death."
Feng Xuxu was initially pleased with his response, but she became unsettled upon hearing the latter part. It turns out all her private matters were exposed to these two adorable creatures.
Regretting what he said, Xiaobai began to retreat stealthily before Sister Feng’s storm arrived, suddenly sprinting off at a breakneck pace and vanishing in an instant.
Feng Xuxu’s eyes seethed with anger as she swept her gaze around and shouted loudly, "Xiaobai, don’t let me catch you, or else, I’ll eat your flesh raw."
Having run far away, Xiaobai shuddered upon hearing that roar as terrifying as a lioness’s rebellion, nearly tripping in fright. Then hearing the threat of being eaten raw, he broke into tears, lowered his head to look at his pristine white fur, then at the flesh beneath, and bereft of tears, he prepared to pack up and run away from home.
Feng Xuxu left the space, found some exquisite boxes in the storeroom to pack the medicinal herbs, and then left the storeroom. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
By the time Feng Xuxu came out, the fight had already ended. She saw Zongzheng Zehang spitting blood on the ground, with Dugu Chen arrogantly standing over him, his gaze cold and ruthless. If it had not been for the little woman asking to spare his life, what she would have seen would definitely have been a corpse.
Feng Xuxu turned to see the people lying on the ground, not needing to guess that these were the family’s Hidden Guards, curled up and lying there. Seeing this, she shook her head to herself.
"Chen, are you alright?" she asked concernedly as she approached.
"This trifle is nothing but a piece of cake for your husband," he said to Feng Xuxu with a mischievous smile.
Feng Xuxu shook her head and, giving Dugu Chen a sidelong glance, said, "What counts as a big deal for you?"
"Of course, it’s marrying you and bringing you home. That is the biggest event of my life," Dugu Chen pondered, wondering when he could marry this beauty.
Feng Xuxu rolled her eyes and huffed before turning away and saying, "Keep dreaming."
Zongzheng Zehang, lying on the ground, watched the two flirt and his heart turned to ash. He regretted acting impulsively, provoking the Charm King, and now he had also angered the Holy Maiden. The chances of saving his sister seemed bleak. Mulling over this, he involuntarily touched his internal injuries, and after a bout of coughing, another mouthful of blood was spat out.
Feng Xuxu shook her head. He was a good brother indeed. She stepped forward and said, "Family Head Zongzheng, can you stand up? Let’s go have a look at your sister."
Upon hearing this, Zongzheng Zehang asked excitedly, "Really? You’ll go with me?" After hearing the words of the Holy Maiden, he sprang to his feet, his eyes filled with hope.
"Let’s go. If you delay any longer, whether Tinglan can be saved is another matter." Without looking back at the infatuated man behind her, she walked out of the Peony Garden.
Dugu Chen stood still for a moment, stunned. His woman was leaving with another man? He couldn’t allow that. Overcome with jealousy, he quickly caught up to the small woman heading towards the gate.
"Wife, have you given up on me?" he blocked her way, looking at Feng Xuxu with a pitiful face.
"... When did I say I’ve given up on you?" Feng Xuxu looked at Dugu Chen, perplexed. Just moments ago he was normal, but now he had suddenly become like this.
"By walking with another man, you’re giving up on me."
Zongzheng Zehang and Jueqing, who were behind them, were so shocked by this statement that they were instantaneously flustered, while a whole row of guards stood frozen, feeling as though a murder of crows was passing by overhead, cawing incessantly....
