Chapter 490 “The Fiancée is Here (1)”

Due to her inherently cold and arrogant nature, there aren’t many within North Qing who could converse with Xue Pian Ran. However, not even she could not ignore the gaze that’s shooting over in her direction because the other side was also a beauty like herself.

As it so happens, they both have a thorn in their hearts and that thorn happens to be the very same woman who couldn’t attend this palace banquet tonight.

“Your Grace, allow me to introduce myself for out first meeting. I am Hong Ming Yue of Da Xia, and I believe you would be very happy to listen to the things I have to say about that woman who’s currently living in the Phoenix Manor.”

…………………

Under the instigation of Ling Yue guidance through this late-night venture, Feng Shen was able to eat a lot of snacks that he couldn’t during his youthful years in this lively night market.

For this opportunity, the lad could say he’s never been so happy because he not only got to experience things he always wanted to do, he also had certain special girl be his side as company.

Sadly, that smile only continued until they saw that carriage parked outside of the phoenix Manor.

“Feng Shen, so is she the reason why you didn’t come attend the palace banquet?” It was a bit sharp in the way that voice broke out, thus breaking the harmony that was in the air.

Finally noticing the carriage as well after that call, Ling Yue soon saw that graceful figure coming off of it.

Though the woman was covered in a golden sari, she could still make out the smooth skin and beautiful outline of that body. To say Ling Yue wasn’t alarmed by the sudden intrusion would be a lie, especially when the foe was so openly looking at her man with pain in those loving eyes.

Not missing the attention coming her way either, Xue Pian Ran’s line of sight soon fell upon her competition as well. Their eyes met, bringing the flaring sparks into alignment.

For the Sacred Maiden, she’s already gotten the gist of this ugly girl’s background: a mentally retarded child of the Hong House who was expelled during her youth, then by spending several years to climb a path that many others could only dream of in a lifetime, she became one of the few titled princesses of Da Xia with a civilian background.

Of course, all of these pieces of information were learned through Hong Ming Yue’s mouth not long ago.

Xue Pian Ran had more than one time tried to imagine what her rival would look like – would she be a beauty like herself, or a shameless fox who only knows how to seduce her fiancé? But in the end, all was for not because anyone who’s seen Feng Shen’s face would never find another worthy to be called a beauty, even if the boy was a male and not a girl.

Then just as the Sacred Maiden was feeling a sense of superiority over the bandaged up ugly duckling currently standing before herself, that’s when the horrid truth came rushing over to slap her in the face. They were holdings hands, Feng Shen and Ling Yue, the pair’s action was like a knife, stabbing straight into her soul.

Feng Shen never even held my hands yet…..

Ignorant to the burning fire in her opponent’s eyes, Ling Yue’s only concern at the moment was to break free from the grasping hand against her own. Unfortunately, the boy apparently had other ideas in mind and tightened his grasp even further until it’s a firm grip.

“I will take care of this so be good,” showing a confident smile, Feng Shen’s voice almost had a hypnotizing effect.

But actions speak louder than words. After saying that, the boy promptly pulled the girl behind himself to block off the Sacred Maiden’s view.

Towards this appearance, Xue Pian Ran could no longer lie to herself. From that smile which drove her mad just a second ago, to the cold indifference directed at herself following now, she knows, the boy’s realized what she’s done back then with the Nirvana Heart Lotus.
