Chapter 224: He Doesn't Like You
The children walked out of Jiaos room looking a little strange. Whatever Jiao told them was so unbelievable, it felt crazy. None of them repeated what they heard; not that anyone would have believed them anyway.
The Yi children did not share it with any of their Feng cousins.
Everyone in Feng residence were happy at Xing and hYanran's return from Blood Moon forest, especially Grandfather Feng. He had a constant grin on his face. His good mood influenced everyone and filtered through the rest of the residence.
Grandfather Feng wanted to announce Xing and Yanrans arrival, so he had Madam Lan organize a banquet with an invitation list that included all the influential nobles in the city.
Feng house was a calm house that didn't like lot of bustling activity, so they rarely ever hosted banquets. But Xings return made Grandfather Feng incredibly happy, so they had to have a banquet to celebrate. Madam Lan naturally took charge of the planning and execution.
The old man wanted everyone to see his wonderful daughter and beautiful granddaughter. Those other three beauties? Psh. Once everyone feasted their eyes Yanran, they would all know the most beautiful girl came from Feng house.
Senior Ming Xi? Feng Wu walked out of the residence easily because everyone was preoccupied with the banquet preparations. She met Ming Xi at the agreed location.
Xiao Wu, come here. No one would have guessed it was Ming Xi, the prince of Silver Moon kingdom. He was dressed as a respectable, young swordsman in a silvery outfit with a sword in one hand. His face was obscured by a wide, brimmed, netted hat.
Ming Xi pulled Xiao Wu into an old house. He pulled down his hat once they entered the courtyard properly.
Xiao Wu, Im looking for you because I need to borrow something of yours. Ming Xis face didnt have the normal gentle expression he usually wore. His unusually serious face . . . Xiao Wu wasnt used to it.
What is it?
Ming Xi took a deep breath and said, Your sword. He wasnt sure if Feng Wu would be willing to lend him such an important artifact. He had witnessed its purification abilities in town that day, and right now he urgently needed that power. [notes]
The place he was going was incredibly dangerous. He came to Feng Wu only to borrow her sword so he could resolve the matter himself. He didnt intend to involve her by bringing her with him.
Feng Wu took out the small sword she usually used from her space ring and handed it to Ming Xi. Here you go, she generously said.
Ming Xi shook his head. Not this one. The one you used to purify the grievances in town.
Xiao Chun? Feng Wu asked doubtfully. She summoned Xiao Chun and laid it on the table between them. Xiao Chun, you have to listen to Senior Ming Xi . . . Feng Wu was afraid Xiao Chun would be disobedient so she made sure to lecture him.
Feng Wu didnt understand how extraordinary a sword Xiao Chun was. It was the purest sword in the world, so it was a bad idea for anyone to hold Xiao Chun if they werent pure enough. If Xiao Chun was handed to someone who wasnt compatible with it, never mind being able to hold it, the person would be lucky to not be severely injured by Xiao Chuns aura.
Good thing Ming Xi owned a divine sword as well. His heart was pure and he wasnt hurt by Xiao Chuns aura when he picked it up.
Thank you, Xiao Wu. This helps me a lot. I will return Xiao Chun as soon as I can. Ming Xi looked at Feng Wu as he solemnly promised. His eyes were gentle.
OK. Feng Wu touched Xiao Chuns hilt to make sure it would be obedient and not misbehave.
Watching Feng Wu seriously admonishing Xiao Chun made Ming Xi smile. He carefully looked at the sword in his hand. The aura it exuded was strongly reminiscent of something from the ancient days. The carvings on it were unfamiliar to him and he couldnt recollect the sword from any of the records he read. But it was impossible for such a divine sword to not have a name.
The two didnt chat long. After exchanging Xiao Chun, Ming Xi and Feng Wu parted ways.
Feng Wu returned to her room; no one noticed she had been missing.
Da Da. Mommy, hug.
Little Bun was sweating from his efforts at climbing the mountain that was his comforter. From time to time, like a good mother, Little White[notes] would sneak forward and wipe his brow.
Little Bun immediately stopped trying to climb when he noticed Feng Wu return. He reached out his arms for a hug. Little Buns appetite had increased recently, so Grandfather Feng specially ordered magical beast milk for him. Magical beast milk was both delicious and nutritious. There were also a bunch of baby shoes and clothes sent by Madam Lan.
Little Bun inevitably grew fat under so much loving care. He was now a plump ball.
Probably because of all the high-quality food he ate, this little guy, despite only being one, could already walk a little. Other than when he was playing around in bed, he rarely ever crawled anymore. He seemed to really enjoy climbing his mothers quilt like it was an adventure.
Feng Wu picked up her chubby Little Bun with a bit of effort. He happily smeared her face with saliva. It didnt bother Feng Wu at all. She just wiped it away with the corner of her sleeve before walking to the garden with him in her arms.
Garden walks were a new activity. Little Bun was fascinated by the garden, so they took him for a walk around the garden at least three times a day.
Xiao Wu, is this little guy yours? So cute. Can I hug him? Feng Yanran was also walking in the garden when she saw Feng Wu with Little Bun. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the little guy.
Feng Wu nodded giving her permission.
Yanran happily held out her arms to him. Little Bun immediately started crying, crying until he ran out of breath. Anyone watching the scene would have been sad.
Little White took Little Bun from Feng Wus arms and bounced him up and down. So professional.
Yanran looked at Little Bun in embarrassment. She turned to Feng Wu and asked, He doesnt like me? She was sad as she rather liked the plump little guy.
Shed always been a loveable girl. No matter how difficult the other person was, they would normally be charmed by her in the end. But today this little guy didnt like her at all.
Feng Wu didnt know to lie. She looked at Yanran and was blunt. He doesnt like you.
