Chapter 798: Chen Xinyi Came to See Her Again

Si Mobai and Feng Tianlan appeared to be just like a husband and wife as they went shopping, looking at jewelry, makeup, and clothes. The two of them were very natural as they moved along. Every small gesture was enough to make people envious.

After they had gone around shopping that way for a while, everyone in Lin’an City knew that the Demon King had taken his Princess Consort out and went shopping. He personally accompanied her and locked hands with her the entire way. He was also extremely gentle. There was no sign of the legendary icy terror, subverting their view of the Demon King.

But then came the news of how the Demon King was volatile, such as how he had been as gentle as water with the Princess Consort one moment and cuttingly cold toward others the next.

Such preferential treatment really made countless women envious. It simply verified the saying of how all of one’s gentleness is only given to you.

But at the same time, some people began to stir and perhaps become able to divert that exclusive tenderness.

With regards to the rumors outside, Feng Tianlan ignored them. She put on the face of an elegant young man and decided on the location and transformation of the Mercenary Regiment with Mei’er and the others. She had been busy with the establishment of the Mercenary Regiment.

“The loft here had four floors. The first floor can be the reception and bounty mission notice board. We can put higher bounties on the second floor, and the third floor is our private meeting hall. I will have sole use of the fourth floor, and…”

Before Feng Tianlan finished speaking, she heard a begrudging voice choked with emotions say, “Master Shen.”

“Miss Chen?” Feng Tianlan looked up at the woman, puzzled. She then said to Mei’er, “You will go first to inform everyone of the layout of the four-story loft. I’ll find you later.”

Mei’er looked at the tearful Chen Xinyi biting her lips. She cast a timid glance at Feng Tianlan and said, “Brother Lan, a treat for the eyes.”

“What’s the matter, Miss Chen?” Feng Tianlan asked in a cold voice.

Chen Xinyi looked up. With tears in her eyes, she begged in a voice choked with emotions, “Master Shen, please save my sister.”

“What’s the matter with your sister…?” Feng Tianlan was just about to ask when she suddenly recalled the incident a few days ago where Chen Xinlu had said Feng Tianlan was not the Princess Consort and then was given to the peddler. There was no news of what had happened after.

Feng Tianlan was not going to show mercy for someone who had always pushed her to the limits over and over again.

Chen Xinyi had already recounted what happened that day. Her voice was even more choked with sobs as she said, “Master Shen and the Demon King are so close. I beg for the Demon King to show mercy and spare my sister.”

Feng Tianlan looked at her, unconvinced, and said, “Chen Xinlu has aimed at you with regards to this matter. She has also s.n.a.t.c.hed your things many times. Do you actually want to plea for leniency on her behalf?”

“But she’s my younger sister, after all. She’s my blood relative, and she doesn’t take much away. She just likes her cousin and has the gift of the gab,” Chen Xinyi said.

Feng Tianlan’s mouth twitched when she heard these words. She had the gift of the gab? If Feng Tianlan had been locked in the secret realm at that time, then many of her plans would have been destroyed, even to the extent of being locked up in the secret realm. Whether or not she would have been able to survive until it was opened again was also a problem.

Moreover, what about those words that Chen Xinlu had said on the street? All of those words were damaging to her reputation and integrity. Had those words been spread to Mobai’s ears, and if the two of them did not have enough trust between them, what would have happened?

Furthermore, there was the matter of how Chen Xinlu had encouraged Chen Xinyi to offer herself up to her. Which of the things Chen Xinlu had done were not for her own selfish desires, regardless of other people’s safety and integrity?

How could this be called having the gift of the gab?

Chen Xinyi cried and begged, saying, “Master Shen, please, I beg you. Help me put in a good word with the Demon King.”

“Go find her yourself. Mobai doesn’t care about her anymore.” Feng Tianlan also could not be bothered, seeing her beg in such a manner. She was so cowardly and weak. She would only learn to be good when she suffered a big loss one day.
