Chapter 551: I Really Want To Marry You
Feng Tianlan’s hand paused. After a moment, she continued applying the ointment on Gu Nansheng’s face carefully and said in a soft voice, “As long as you are not a bad person, you are beautiful in your own way. Peerless beauty is the tackiest. The most valuable kind of beauty is when someone discovers your beauty when you are at your ugliest state.”
“So, did you make yourself ugly before just to probe at man’s conscience?”
Feng Tianlan shook her head. “Beauty is the root of all troubles. I just wanted to save myself some troubles.”
“Sorry. My father caused you trouble,” Gu Nansheng said seriously after seeing her retracting her hand. “Tianlan, you should leave the palace and head straight for Evanesce City. Just attend my wedding there when the time comes. You have to go through Evanesce City to reach Xuantian Continent anyway.”Feng Tianlan put down the Fat Congealing Cream in her hand and pondered. Then, she nodded. “I will stay in the city for now and come to the palace to accompany you on your wedding day.”
The Beiqi Emperor had an interest in her. If she stayed in the palace, both Gu Nansheng and she would be put in a difficult position. If she was outside the palace, the Beiqi Emperor would have to give up no matter how strong his desire for her was.
“Thank you.” Gu Nansheng thanked her sincerely. Feng Tianlan held back when hitting her father on her account. If not, his fate would have been the same as the son of the general from the town at the border.
“White Cutie-pie!” Feng Tianlan called. A little creature that was as big as a cat jumped out and landed on her shoulder. Its white, furry head rubbed against her neck. “Meow! Meow! Meow!”
“The little cat became a big cat.” Looking at the creature nuzzling Feng Tianlan, Gu Nansheng remembered the first time she saw it. It had scratched Tu Xiupei and Hu Kemeng. What did Feng Tianlan think of her back then?
Although it had just been a year, she realized things were no longer the same.
“Mrrow!” The initially gentle White Cutie-pie turned and screeched at Gu Nansheng. ‘I am not a cat; I am a Divine Beast.’“I remember it was called Little Furball before, why did you change its name?” White Cutie-pie looked much cuter in its white and velvet fur without any murderous intent. It was still the same as before. It got angry every time someone called it a cat.
“It grew up. It no longer looked like a little furball, so I changed its name.” Feng Tianlan stroked White Cutie-pie’s fur. “Stay here and protect Nansheng. You must follow her wherever she goes.”
“Meow.” White Cutie-pie rubbed Feng Tianlan’s neck in discontentment. It didn’t want to protect Gu Nansheng. It wanted to be with its owner.
“Listen to me. I will refine a Dried Fish Beast Vitality Pill for you.”
“Meow!” After hearing what Feng Tianlan said, White Cutie-pie instantly regained its energy. It leaped and landed on Gu Nansheng’s shoulder. It nodded at Feng Tianlan and saluted with its soft, pink paws. “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Although she didn’t really trust that the protection of a cat would be enough, it was the protection that Feng Tianlan was giving to her, so she accepted White Cutie-pie. It was also a good chance for her to relieve her boredom.
“I will stay at the inn closest to the palace. You can come and look for me anytime.”
Gu Nansheng smiled at Feng Tianlan. “What should I do? I really want to marry you.”
Feng Tianlan put up a sullen face and said seriously, “Stop fooling around.”
Gu Nansheng giggled. As long as Feng Tianlan was around, she felt like she was being pampered once again. Her depressed mood was instantly brightened up.
After the Beiqi Emperor left Gu Nansheng, he couldn’t find a way to vent out his emotions. The imperial noble consort came to visit him. Looking at her wrinkled face while thinking about Feng Tianlan standing under the peach blossom tree, he felt an extreme disgust. He blasted her out of his chambers.
After seeing Feng Tianlan, everyone looked boring and ugly as grass!
The Beiqi Emperor couldn’t sleep all night. He woke up early in the morning and went to Gu Nansheng’s residence. When he saw them coming out the door, his gaze fixed itself on Feng Tianlan.
