Chapter 495: Feihuang's Intentions

"Wow, Senior Sister Bing'er, the cake you made is truly delicious, even better than what the royal chefs in our house make."

"Many thanks for the praise, Junior Sister Ling'er. Back when Yue'er was at home, the cake I made was her absolute favorite. But I was worried that the tastes of people in the Gulei Kingdom might not be quite the same as in our Heaven Dou Empire, so I never dared to make it for Junior Brother. Seeing you like it so much today, I feel relieved. I think Junior Brother should like it too."

"That goes without saying. My younger brother is the least picky eater. When we were little, I would stuff whatever I couldn't finish into his mouth, and it was never a problem. Every time Father and Mother came to see me, my bowl was always licked clean, and they even praised me for cherishing food."

Two beautiful young girls walked along the palace path, holding the freshly baked cake in their hands; they were none other than Shui Bing'er and Nan Feiling.

Ever since Shui Yue'er left, Shui Bing'er, who had always taken care of her younger sister in the role of an elder sister, suddenly felt something missing by her side and was very unaccustomed to it. Regarding this phenomenon, Nan Feiling felt the same way.

Back when Nan Feihuang went to Heaven Dou Academy to be an exchange student, she had felt the same way as Shui Bing'er.

The two girls hit it off immediately, and as it happened, they shared the same younger brother, so they naturally became best friends as the girls left behind.

Arriving at the entrance of the Eastern Palace, the two saw Jia Kui standing guard at the gate. Nan Feiling asked, "Eh, Senior Jia Kui, why are you guarding the gate all by yourself?"

"Your Highness, Miss Bing'er." Jia Kui bowed and explained, "It is like this: Ning Rongrong, who is staying with my wife, has requested to see the Crown Prince many times through me. Today, the Crown Prince finally had some rare free time and agreed to the meeting. Ning Rongrong said she had some matters to discuss with the Crown Prince in private, so I am waiting here."

"What?" Both girls were shocked and roared in unison, "You let that Ning Rongrong go see my younger brother (Junior Brother) alone?"

"W-what's wrong?" Jia Kui was startled by the two girls' fuss. "Are you worried that Ning Rongrong will do something to the Crown Prince? That shouldn't be necessary; let alone the Crown Prince, she can't even beat me."

"You, you, you, you... you big idiot!" Nan Feiling pointed at Jia Kui, this super dense man, and scolded him.

Was she worried about her younger brother's safety?

In this world now, there were likely few people who could contend with her younger brother.

What she was worried about was that Ning Rongrong wanted to seduce her younger brother. Women understand women best; if that weren't the case, why would Ning Rongrong want to send Jia Kui away? What could she have to say that couldn't be said openly?

"Damn it, that Ning Rongrong must be at her wit's end because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was destroyed, and she knows that only Junior Brother can oppose the Spirit Hall, so she wants to sell herself to Junior Brother to beg for his help. If Junior Brother agrees, he will fall into her trap and be used as a pawn," Shui Bing'er analyzed more deeply, and she was basically spot on.

"No way? How could Ning Rongrong be so shameless? She is, after all, the eldest young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Jia Kui said in disbelief.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Where is it now?" Nan Feiling mocked, "Her sect has already been destroyed, so what kind of eldest young lady is she? Senior Jia Kui, if this matter is known by Lingqi or Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall, I reckon your head won't be staying on your shoulders."

Shui Bing'er nodded solemnly; it was still the same saying, women understand women best.

Sometimes, women hate the person who pimps for their husband even more than the cheating husband himself. Jia Kui was currently inadvertently playing such a role.

"Oh crap, no, I have to save myself!" Jia Kui finally realized. Lingqi's Feilian Cross Halberd and Qian Renxue's Angel Holy Sword were nothing to joke about.

"You stay here, Bing'er and I will go," Nan Feiling ordered. "Remember, except for Father, Mother, E Lai, and Wenruo, no one is allowed to approach this place. Whoever comes, you drive them away."

How could she let Jia Kui go over now? If her younger brother had already been seduced by Ning Rongrong and the two were in the middle of doing something, that scene absolutely could not be leaked.

And she would personally kill Ning Rongrong to rescue her younger brother from the temptation of beauty. At this moment, Nan Feiling felt as if she had been given a mission.

"Yes, Your Highness, my life and livelihood are all entrusted to you," Jia Kui pleaded.

The two girls immediately rushed toward the Eastern Palace.

However, this time Nan Feiling underestimated Nan Feihuang; he was a scumbag, but not so much that he couldn't walk once tempted by beauty.

"Ning Rongrong, you say I'm lonely? Then you don't understand me at all. I am very fulfilled right now!" Nan Feihuang laughed. "There are many kinds of human enjoyment, and having a beauty by one's side is naturally one of them. But what I enjoy even more now is the improvement of my power. With each passing day, I get closer to the realm of a Title Douluo."

"Compared to this kind of enjoyment, what do you count for? Just get lost. I have no interest in you. If Xue Jie came, I might not be able to hold back, but you? Forget it."

Nan Feihuang's mockery made Ning Rongrong's face flush red. She had gone to such lengths, yet Nan Feihuang remained unmoved. "Nan Feihuang, I misjudged you. I thought you were an ambitious hero, but it turns out you are just a love-struck fool. Even now, you are still thinking about that Qian Renxue. Have you forgotten? She sent a full six Title Douluos to try to kill you. To be unable to forget a bitch who wants to kill you is the behavior of a spineless sycophant."

"Shut your mouth!" Feihuang's aura surged, and he sent Ning Rongrong flying again, crashing into the wall. "You had better take back the word 'bitch' regarding my Xue Jie, otherwise I don't mind slicing you into a thousand pieces."

That's right, in the eyes of outsiders, Qian Renxue had indeed treated him very poorly, but others didn't know—didn't he know it himself?

From the past until now, Qian Renxue had actually never harmed him in the slightest.

That assassination attempt was entirely Bibi Dong and Lingyuan Douluo sowing discord; Qian Renxue didn't participate at all. In fact, the assassination itself was something Feihuang had deliberately schemed.

Feihuang always remembered that when he was weak, it was Qian Renxue who helped him maneuver around Bibi Dong, winning him precious time to grow.

When he became strong enough not to fear Bibi Dong, she had worked very hard to persuade the several grandfathers in her Offering Hall, which was why Qian Daoliu gave him chances again and again.

With Qian Renxue treating him like this, how could he not be grateful and moved? The anger he showed on the surface now was just an act.

In reality, Nan Feihuang had even prepared the durians; it was just that this world didn't have keyboards, otherwise, when everything settled, he would be apologizing to his Xue Jie with durians and a keyboard.

"Damn it!" Ning Rongrong struggled to crawl up from the ground; she discovered that her calculations had completely failed.

The reason she came to seek cooperation with Nan Feihuang was that she subconsciously assumed Nan Feihuang would turn love into hate for Qian Renxue and become irreconcilable with the Spirit Hall. Who knew this guy was such a romantic.

Even though Qian Renxue wanted to kill him, he was still so deeply in love; a typical love-struck fool who wanted the beauty over the empire.

Since he loved Qian Renxue so deeply, how could he help her deal with the Spirit Hall? Ning Rongrong's heart was completely desperate, and at the same time, she felt a bit of jealousy toward Qian Renxue.

If there were also such a man who treated her the way Nan Feihuang treated Qian Renxue, and had the strength Nan Feihuang had to protect her and help her take revenge, she would be willing to follow him to the ends of the earth.

Oscar had the heart, but unfortunately, he was only a Food-type Soul Master, not what she needed right now.
