Chapter 676: You’ll Get Beaten Up For Behaving Like This
Because of how tragically she died in her previous life, no matter how firmly she believed in it, she still felt affected and was unwilling to open up her heart. Thus, she did not see how much more goodness there was in this world.
But in truth, no matter how easily the weak fell prey to the strong in this world, good people still dominated in numbers.
Mother had told her that no matter how strong she was, whether she was at the peak of the world or deep in a mire, she should never forget herself and her original intention. She should always be good and kindhearted.
She thought about it and felt that she had somewhat achieved what Mother said about not forgetting herself and her original intention.
That night, when the moon had risen and was glowing dimly in the hazy sky, Azurite went to pick sundrops and handed it to her for refining into an antidote.
“Tianlan, you even know how to concoct medicine?” Xiao Xiao asked as she watched a Fire Cloud Furnace suddenly appear. It was all red and made a very dazzling sight. Her eyes were bright and shiny as she watched, and when she looked at Feng Tianlan, the look in her eyes blazed with a deeper hue and greater intensity. It was simply a look of ultimate admiration and worship.
Feng Tianlan nodded gently and replied, “I know a little.”
Mei’er inched closer. Rubbing her fair and busty chest against Feng Tianlan’s arm, she said in a cloyingly sweet voice, “Lan’er, you’re so impressive. Do you need someone to warm your bed?”
Feng Tianlan shuddered all over. She could only feel goosebumps rising all over her body and said, “Mei’er, you’ll get beaten up for behaving like this.”
If Mobai saw this, he would never show any compassion towards her, even if she was a woman. He would just toss her as far away as he could and beat her to the point where she could puff and swell up no more.
Da Da walked over and as if he was holding little chickens, he caught hold of both Xiao Xiao and Mei’er, one in each hand, and took them away. He then said, “Tianlan is concocting medicine, don’t disturb her.”
Mei’er cast a flirtatious wink at Feng Tianlan and said, “Lan’er, I’ll go take a bath first. I’m going to make myself smell so nice and I’ll be waiting for you.”
Feng Tianlan was speechless as the twitching of her lips tugged at the corners of her mouth. She thought to herself, “Mei’er, you’re really going to get beaten up for behaving like this.” The Mobai she knew was really capable of walloping people.
However, while noticing how Mei’er liked to seduce and flirt with her as and whenever, she came to realize that for now, Mei’er would only do so to her. In the face of Yang Zhengfei, she would always be very well-behaved and never do such things. It was not because she liked him, but rather because Yang Zhengfei took a fancy to Xiao Xiao.
Although Mei’er was always frivolous and alluring in her ways, she too, had her own principles.
But could Mei’er also keep to her principles when it came to Feng Tianlan? And also, could she not always flaunt that busty bosom of hers so openly before Feng Tianlan, who was seemingly flat-chested?
Feng Tianlan looked at the few people who were walking further away but still staying within a reasonable distance from her. They guarded her as she concocted the medicine. She chuckled, shook off those thoughts and began to make the medicine with due diligence.
In fact, even she herself had not noticed that she was smiling more frequently, and that the hint of smile in her eyes was getting more intense. Starting from when Mobai had moved her heart, to the time she became fast friends with Nansheng, and then the time when she joined the United Mercenary Regiment. Her heart was gradually opening up as she re-acquainted herself with this world that she used to think was cruel.
Half an hour later, she finished concocting the Nine Poison Flower, which she then gave to Xiao Xiao. She, on the other hand, went on to refining the Face Changing Elixir. By the time she was done, it was already dawn.
Hearing the sound of the Fire Cloud Furnace running in operation, Xiao Xiao was the first to run over quickly. With brightly lit eyes akin to stars, she looked adoringly at Feng Tianlan and asked, “Tianlan, are you done?”
Feng Tianlan nodded gently and looked up to see that the few of them and the unconscious commander was all still around. As she approached them from a distance, she saw that they were all keeping vigilance. None of them were sleeping at all. They were all keeping watch as they guarded her. She could not help but feel a warmth rising in her heart.
Xiao Xiao, with her bright starry eyes, was all the more worshipful towards Tianlan as she gushed, “Tianlan, you’re amazing!”
The commander of the regiment came over and looked at her with a benevolent countenance and a pair of eyes filled with kindness. He looked at Feng Tianlan with utmost gratitude and said, “Thank you for saving my life, and also, do let me welcome you as a member of our family.”
