Chapter 721: The Show Begins
Big Baby meowed happily, accepting the compliment. But before it could continue basking in its glory, Ye Wenxin pressed down on its head with a dangerous smile.
"Hehe, do you really think meeting me now gives you the chance to tell Yue'er anything?" Ye Wenxin's eyes glinted with mockery, and Big Baby, trying to struggle, found no room to resist.
The Burial Flower appeared above Big Baby, blossoming into a vivid red flower, drawing nutrients from it. Big Baby meowed, realizing its carelessness, its cries turning into pleas for mercy. But Ye Wenxin was in no mood to spare it, extending her hand, "Little Fengfeng, may I borrow your Hanpo Sword to cut out Big Baby's tongue? Let's see how it tattles to Yue'er then."
Without hesitation, Feng Ya Xianzi handed over the sword. Realizing the danger, Big Baby struggled free, running while shouting out some unintelligible words. Whether it was cursing Ye Wenxin or saying something else, she couldn't tell.
Amused, Ye Wenxin tried to return the Hanpo Sword to Feng Ya Xianzi but felt its icy aura clinging to her arm, reluctant to leave her grasp.
Perplexed, she knew the Hanpo Sword favored her but never imagined it would be this attached.
"Little Fengfeng, could it be this Hanpo Sword is female too?" Ye Wenxin joked, struggling to shake off the cold aura, feeling her allure dangerously strong—even a sword seemed to have thoughts about her.
Feng Ya Xianzi didn't respond, her fingers flicking the sword's blade, dispersing the frost. She easily reclaimed the sword, though it continued to vibrate, seemingly protesting against her.
Yet Feng Ya Xianzi paid it no mind, allowing the frost to envelop her before effortlessly dissipating it with her inner strength.
Ye Wenxin was speechless. If she hadn't borrowed the sword, she wouldn't have known how spirited the Hanpo Sword was. Reflecting on her own Sword Ghost, she realized even her weapons differed greatly from Feng Ya Xianzi's.
This complex feeling made Ye Wenxin suspect Feng Ya Xianzi harbored more secrets. She watched Feng Ya Xianzi, who was focused on the distance, her Hanpo Sword vibrating excitedly, as if sensing something intense.
If not for Feng Ya Xianzi's hold, who knew what it might do...
Far off, a shadow remained, visible only to Feng Ya Xianzi. This shadowy figure watched from a secluded building, sitting by the window, observing everything afar.
The once bustling Big Baby appeared in this space, meowing its grievances about being bullied.
This person was, of course, Long Qingyue.
Unable to sleep, she had been moon-gazing, unexpectedly spotting Zhu Ling Xianzi sneaking from the basement. Not long after, she saw Ye Wenxin, piquing her curiosity about Ye Wenxin's actions.
She hadn't expected Feng Ya Xianzi to be with Ye Wenxin, prompting her to send Big Baby as a subtle reminder. Naturally, her reminder was understated, ensuring Big Baby wouldn't realize it was deliberately guided.
Unfortunately, Big Baby's warning didn't have the intended effect.
"Meow, meow... meow..." Big Baby meowed pitifully, unaware it was all a setup. Long Qingyue, smiling, patted its head, gradually increasing the pressure until Big Baby had to flee.
