The two of them stood on the rooftop under the starlit sky with their clothes flying in the wind. Their hair was entangled, adding to the romantic atmosphere. Feng Tianlan was a little drunk as she moved her hands onto Si Mobai’s waist.
Suddenly, there was a clang. The wine flask fell from her hands and broke, snapping Feng Tianlan out of her drunken daze. She immediately pushed Si Mobai away and glared at him angrily before disappearing into the Pill Scroll Realm.
“Lan’er,” Si Mobai called for her in a low, hoarse but alluring voice. He hopped off the roof and into the room. But, after looking around, he couldn’t find her. He looked at the half-heart ring on his right hand and sighed, “After lighting the fire, she disappears, just like that.”
But when he thought about how Feng Tianlan had responded to him, Si Mobai’s lips curled up. He rolled onto her bed, happiness filling his heart!
It wasn’t that Lan’er had no feelings for him; she was just controlling her emotions. If he worked harder, he was sure that he would win her over in no time.
Feng Tianlan entered the Pill Scroll Realm. Azurite was harvesting some herbs. Azurite noticed that Tianlan’s face was all red, so she called out, “Master.”
Feng Tianlan jumped into the pool of Spiritual Water. “I’m fine. I just want to rest for a while.”
She had reached the Spiritual Grandmaster level and could stay for two or three days in the Pill Scroll Realm, which was equivalent to about five or six hours in the real world. She could stay and train for a while. By the time she had to leave, it would be daybreak.
“Is it Mas…” Azurite kept quiet again. She didn’t know who that man was, but she instinctively called him ‘Master.’ It was as if one were her Master and the other her Mistress, and it had been this way since the beginning.
After soaking for two hours, Tianlan had washed away all the tiredness and drunkenness and was now fully alert. She thought about her kiss with Si Mobai and how she had responded to him. She couldn’t help but feel her heart sink.
She couldn’t allow this!
She hadn’t perfected her revenge plan yet, so how could she be thinking about being in love? Weren’t this body’s previous owner’s predicament and Tu Xiuyu sufficient reminders of love’s dangers? How could she be stupid enough to go near anything like this?
Feng Tianlan breathed in deeply and told herself to stay far away from Si Mobai!
Six hours passed before Feng Tianlan left the Pill Scroll Realm and reappeared on the rooftop. She saw the broken pieces of the wine flask from the night before and her eyes turned cold. Next time, she wouldn’t let Si Mobai have his way.
After she entered her room, she looked at her bed. It was obvious someone had slept there the night before. It must have been Si Mobai.
Feng Tianlan shook her head to get this thought out of her head. She took a deep breath, then went to get changed.
“Miss, it’s a mess outside,” Chuling reported once Feng Tianlan had finished her porridge.
“Tu Xiuyu?” Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow in surprise. She thought that Tu Xiuyu would rest before making a scene.
Chuling nodded and continued, “Yes, it’s her. She put on a red dress and red shoes and ran up the city’s watchtower, insisting on seeing Third Prince…”
Feng Tianlan wiped her mouth. “Let’s go take a look.”
On the way out, they ran into Luo Yunzhu. They all went together to see Tu Xiuyu. Zhang Tiancheng was already there, and he squeezed over the moment he saw them. “Boss, everything has been arranged.”
Feng Tianlan looked up at Tu Xiuyu, who was standing right at the top of the city’s watchtower. She was dressed all in red, ready to become a vengeful spirit after death so that she could continue roaming the earth and seek revenge because of how much she hated Si Rong and the others.
“Tu Xiuyu, what are you doing? Come down at once!” Si Rong had heard that Tu Xiuyu had escaped from the brothel and was now going around announcing all the things he had done, so he’d rushed over in a great hurry.
Tu Xiuyu spotted Si Rong immediately in the crowd. No matter who he’d become, she could always find him instantly because she truly loved him.
