Volume 2 ◆ Flourishing Talent VS Overlooking the World ◆ 034 A Heart of Ice

  Two people, one in the lake and one on the shore, stood facing each other from a distance. The air suddenly chilled. All around, the crows and sparrows fell silent, even the wind died down, and a leaf quivered and fell to the ground, making a soft sound.

  "Are you Feng Mian Xue? The fourth miss of the Feng family who is the least favored and has the lowest status?"

  The purple-haired man asked lazily, raising his head to pour the strong liquor down his throat, his voice carrying a hint of husky sensuality. A pair of phoenix eyes lingered over her absolutely stunning face, slipping over a thread of astonishment. Apparently, he was extremely surprised by the rumored worthless Fourth Miss Feng.

  She seems completely different from the rumored weak and incompetent, illiterate, useless image.

  Instead, he exuded a natural and elegant aura, as if carved by the goddess of water lilies, which made him narrow his eyes slightly, and his pupils shone brighter.

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Feng Mei Xue's eyes met the man's gaze directly, without blinking or dodging, not a hint of fear in her expression. Instead, there was an air of superiority in her eyes that shone brightly, illuminating the purple-haired man's eyes.

  "Hehehe, can't say it's looking for trouble, but I promised someone that you would give them half of the jade pendant!"

  The purple-haired man smiled with a bright and sunny face, his orange lips curving into a dazzling arc in the sunlight. His beautiful face, which made even women blush with shame, became even more enchanting.

  "What will you give me in exchange?"

  Feng Mei Xue emerged from the water, leaving only a glimpse of her back for the purple-haired man. Her long hair covered her entire slender back, reaching down to her ankles, with golden water droplets rolling off. As soon as she heard his words, she knew that it was definitely Ah Chang Song who couldn't find the other half of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, guessing that the pendant was still on her body, so he had asked for help to come and demand it back.

  Those who can call out to each other with a long song must be extraordinary people.

  "Haha, you little woman have a big nerve! How dare you ask me such an important thing!"

  The purple-haired man propped up his head with one hand, shook the wine jug with the other, and gazed at the figure on the opposite bank that was as beautiful as a painting in the sunlight, his eyes dazed for an instant.

  He has never been a person who values appearance, even if the most beautiful woman stands in front of him, he won't bat an eye, having no interest in anything except for the beauty of wine in his hand.

  But at this moment, he was still deeply shocked by the proud and arrogant temperament that Feng Muxue emitted from her bones.

  "Neurosis!"

  Feng Mei Xue pouted her delicate and tender red lips, her clear voice was like pearls falling onto a plate, crisp and bright. She didn't even bother to give him an extra glance, this person must be sick, so he actually dared to ask her for something with empty hands!

  She never does business at a loss, always taking advantage of others, and has never been taken advantage of by anyone!

  "How dare you say that our young master is ill?"

  Hua Leng Zui listened to her words, Jun Yan's face suddenly turned black, and he stood up abruptly, his toes pointing, and stepped forward. The ripples spread out layer by layer under his feet, and the strong aroma of liquor in the air also dispersed.

  The young master of the Huahua family, Hua Lengxue, was a heavy drinker and his life depended on it. However, there were not many fine wines that could enter his eyes.

  This time, he was willing to help in exchange for a jug of rare and precious wine, to retrieve the half-piece of dragon and phoenix jade pendant.

  As for why he didn't come himself, it was because he had suffered a great loss here in the morning and felt that Feng Mianxue was very suspicious, so he really didn't want to come to Mei Yin Lou again.

  "It turns out his hearing isn't good either!"

  Feng Mei Xue left behind a sentence and walked into the plum forest, turning several directions before disappearing from Huacold's line of sight, infuriating him to the point of internal injury.

  With his strength, he naturally didn't fall behind Feng Mian Xue's last sentence. He was annoyed and wanted to chase after her, but found himself trapped in a mysterious and fantastical maze.

  The surroundings of Meiyin Building are all surrounded by plum blossoms, and only a small path can enter Meiyin Building. The rest of the places are all covered with Fa arrays. In the past, Feng Xue did not understand what five elements and eight trigrams were, and the technique of Qimen Dunjia, so she just followed her mother's instructions and did not enter the plum forest at will.

  But little did she know that this ordinary-looking plum forest hid too many mysteries. It was also when she entered the plum forest with Mo Yanhua in the morning mist that she noticed its uniqueness.

  The formation of the plum forest is to protect the Mei Yin building. The person who set up the formation is likely her mother, Leng Qinghuan. It seems that her mother is really mysterious, and I don't know what kind of background her mother's family has.

  Long ago, Leng Qing welcomed the Phoenix Snow into the illusion array in the plum forest by mistake, so she told her that if she went in, she had to follow the steps she taught her to walk out. At that time, she just thought it was interesting and remembered it very seriously, but didn't expect it to come in handy now!

  At this moment, Feng Mi Xue's mood is very pleasant, while Hua Leng Jiu, who was trapped in the plum forest, felt extremely depressed.

  He originally thought that taking away half of the jade pendant from Feng Yuxue would be an easy task, but he didn't expect to be tricked by her. To leave this maze, it's likely to take a lot of time.

  "Miss, are you okay?"

  When Feng Yuxue walked out of Meilin and entered Meiyinlou, Xue Zhang had been waiting for a long time and stepped forward to ask.

  They had just seen Feng Mianxue suddenly leave and enter Mei Yinlou, and they couldn't help but worry. It had been so long since they saw her return, and she was still dripping wet, naturally making them a bit uneasy. Taking a dry towel, they helped her wipe her hair.

  "I'm fine, how's Mother now?"

  Feng Mei Xue shook her head and said with a hint of lightness, feeling a bit warm about Xue Jing's thoughtful consideration.

  "Miss, don't worry, the madam's condition has stabilized. Just now, Dr. Xiao Yao came by, but you weren't here. He checked on the madam and left a prescription before leaving. Qian Cao went to buy medicine, and Liu Li and Qing Wei are inside taking care of the madam."

  Xue Yan said softly, taking a cloak to put on Feng Yuxue to prevent her from catching a chill. It was said that the carefree saint doctor would charge at least a thousand gold coins for each diagnosis, and he wouldn't easily treat others' illnesses. But when diagnosing Madame's illness, he didn't mention anything about the diagnosis fee, which was truly strange.

  "Good job, you guys!"

  Feng Mei Xue gently patted Xue Ju's shoulder, looking at the young and tender face filled with sincerity, her smile also carried a hint of warmth from the sun.

  "Miss, you're too serious! Xueqiang will always follow you, never regret it!"

  Xue Qing looked at her smile, and her eyes were filled with emotion. Sincere words came out without hesitation. Bing Xin's heart was filled with loyalty, all for that one extraordinary woman who warmed her heart, willing to humble herself.
