Underneath A Thousand Skies ✔️

115 Foster Son, Don't Be So Crazy (52)

While Song Jia was wondering at Nian Shou's sudden appearance, Xiang Feng had bumped into Princess Bai Xue on his way to the kitchen.

"Feng."

Seeing that the man had no intention to greet her, Princess Bai Xue blocked his way and flashed him a soft, warm smile.

Xiang Feng's eyes grew colder. Stepping aside, he continued walking past her.

"Feng!"

Princess Bai Xue's hand shot out to directly grab his wrist, but Xiang Feng evaded her easily.

"Your Highness," his voice was cold and detached, "Do you not want your arm anymore?"

Princess Bai Xue froze, but after seeing his back going further and further away, she persistently chased him.

"Feng! If you don't turn around and talk to me, I'll stop giving you potions to meet her!"

As for which 'her' she was talking about, Xiang Feng naturally knew.

He stopped walking.

Princess Bai Xue's lips curved into a gloating smile. "Feng, I..."

She trailed off.

Xiang Feng had continued walking again, his strides even longer than before. As if he had made a decision, his fists were clenched, his eyes dark like bottomless pits.

Princess Bai Xue's face went pale with shock.

"You really don't care about her anymore?"

"Feng!"

"You won't see her ever again!"

"Feng..."

Princess Bai Xue was gradually being left behind, and at last, she stopped chasing after him. She looked at Xiang Feng's back that quickly disappeared from her view.

These past few days, she had been going out of her mind, as her name and reputation was splashed with dirty water by the gossip that was spreading like wildfire all over the kingdom. No matter what she did, it seemed that there were a lot of people trying to spark the flames, and there was now talk of picking a new successor for the throne.

Her mother was of no help at all, her skill in potions barely mediocre, and it was Princess Bai Xue herself who had to concoct and refine potions that would restore her reputation by herself. Soothing potions, elixirs of reversed time, tonics that could empty a person's mind...

Princess Bai Xue could only recall her past life, when Xiang Feng stayed by her side through her ups and downs. It was because he was with her, that she managed to conquer kingdoms left and right. It was because he was with her, that she was so invincible...

She bit her lips, so harshly that she drew blood. With her snow-white face, the trickle of blood on her chin showed a kind of wicked beauty.

"Feng, do you really like that woman so much that you can choose her over the one in your dream? That you can choose her...over me?"

She gently caressed her face. Princess Bai Xue suddenly began to crazily laugh, "Feng...Feng ah, you've made me her substitute, so I'll be her substitute to the very end! You love me so much, you can't bear to let me go, no? What does that foreigner girl count as? We'll be together forever, you and me, no one will get between us again..."

Hearing this, the maids passing by were so scared that their whole bodies trembled. They fixed their eyes on the floor, hoping that they were invisible, hoping that the obviously crazy crown princess wouldn't spot them.

Princess Bai Xue's lips curled up into a chilling smile.

"Then Feng, don't blame me for being ruthless."
