Chapter 81: Who's Speaking Ill of Our Miss Wu?
Editor: Henyee Translations
With a wave of her hand, Lin Ling called out to the entire neighborhood, "Auntie Wang, Grandma Zhang, Uncle Zhao… Come here! These people are saying bad things about Miss Wu!"
WHAT?!
Everyone running their small businesses along the street exploded at Lin Ling's words!
Auntie Wang charged at them with a spatula in her hand. "Who was it? Who said bad things about Miss Wu?!"
Holding a kitchen knife, Grandma Zhang tottered toward them. "Who are these people? What did they say about Miss Wu?"
Uncle Zhao, Auntie Zhou, Grandpa Zheng… Everyone who had been busy with their own chores ran to Lin Ling's side with various tools as weapons. They then surrounded Feng Xun.
Feng Xun had been standing with Jun Linyuan and the others, but was separated from them by the crowd.
Circling Feng Xun, everyone brandished their weapons and yelled at him angrily.
"Who are you to say such things about Miss Wu?!"
"How dare you insult Miss Wu!"
"I see you've got some balls!"
-
Feng Xun was dumbfounded!
What the heck?!
Had these people lost their minds?!
"L- let go of me! Stop tearing my clothes!" Feng Xun was pulled this way and that by what felt like a hundred pairs of hands and he thought that his robe was going to be ripped off.
"Miss Wu is a great young lady! She saved my boy's life! My family would have been ruined if it wasn't for her! No one can say anything bad about Miss Wu when I'm around!" Uncle Zhao glared at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun was speechless.
"Exactly! I'd be long dead if it wasn't for Miss Wu! She's my savior! How dare you say she doesn't go anywhere apart from her bedchamber! What kind of person are you?!"
Feng Xun was still speechless.
"Miss Wu went to help a patient in the next town just the other day! How can you say such things about such a kind person? Do you even have a heart at all? What an ugly personality you have under that pretty face!"
Feng Xun kept his silence.
Seeing Feng Xun stumble back in bewilderment as the folks jabbed their fingers in his chest, Fairy Muyao patted her chest, feeling very lucky.
It was a good thing she hadn't stepped out just then, or she would be the one getting attacked now.
With his hands behind his back, Jun Linyuan watched what was happening, lost in his thoughts… However, he seemed to look past the crowd, his gaze fixed somewhere in the distance.
"Who was it? Who said unpleasant things about Miss Wu?"
Just then, an elderly couple hobbled toward them, one holding a rolling pin and the other a cleaver.
Despite their old age, they moved rather fast. The looks on their faces were very eager.
"Grandpa, Grandma —" Lin Ling rushed to their sides, steadying them.
"Xiao Ling, who's saying bad things about Miss Wu? Tell me, quickly! I'm going to kick their asses!" Holding a cleaver, Grandpa Lin was panting from all the running, his voice filled with righteous indignation.
Next to him, Grandma Lin was also furious. She had always been a mild old lady and had never lost her temper like this. Grabbing Lin Ling's hand, she said loudly, "Xiao Ling, how can people nowadays be so ungrateful?! Throwing mud at Miss Wu after all those things she has done for us! Now, tell me who the bad man is!"
Feng Xun was speechless.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way from a single sarcastic comment!
Chapter 82: Almost in Tears!
Editor: Henyee Translations
Feng Xun turned his pitiful, pleading eyes on Jun Linyuan.
However, Jun Linyuan looked the other way with his hands behind his back, as if he was savoring some view in the distance.
Feng Xun was almost in tears!
Everyone had decided not to get involved, and pretended that he was a total stranger!
When he finally broke free from the sea of people, his clothes were all crumpled beyond repair.
"You people are unbelievable!" Feng Xun condemned his teammates!
"Blame your own big mouth…" Fairy Muyao shrugged.
"Aren't you against Feng Wu yourself? How could you not take my side?!" Feng Xun asked indignantly.
Fairy Muyao shrugged. "A wise woman submits to fate, okay? Who knows what got into these commoners? They just stuck up for Feng Wu like crazy people. One wrong word and they think you're offending her. That's just insane!"
Feng Xun was so frustrated by how jubilant Fairy Muyao looked.
He waved his hand in exasperation. "No! I won't put up with it!"
Xuan Yi's taut face lit up and he blurted out, "… Exactly what do we know about Feng Wu?"
That was like a clap of thunder in everyone's ears.
What was Feng Wu really like?
Was she dull and joyless?
Or was she enthusiastic, kind, and helpful as the folks claimed?
Xuan Yi went on, "If it were only one or two people, we could question their credibility, but we're looking at a whole street of people here. Are we going to call all of them liars?"
Fairy Muyao took a step forward, trying to say something, but was at a loss over what to say.
Xuan Yi was right… just look at all those commoners with their knives and rolling pins… They had to be telling the truth!
"If that's the case, Feng Wu played us!" Feng Xun was so angry that his face turned livid. "Come, let's go back to the Feng family manor and take her by surprise! I'd like to see the real Feng Wu!"
Feng Xun stormed off.
The others turned to look at Jun Linyuan. After all, he was the one who called the shots, not Feng Xun.
That brooding look had been on Jun Linyuan's face this entire time. However, he gave a little nod at that moment and turned to walk back toward the Feng family manor.
Xuan Yi was most intrigued. He never expected someone like Boss Jun to play along with Feng Xun's childish behavior. That was so strange.
Back at the Feng family manor.
Feng Wu gamboled around the courtyard as soon as Jun Linyuan and the others left.
To make up for her unfortunate encounters in Frozen Forest and to celebrate her obtaining the Immortal Spiritual Fruit, Feng Wu prepared a feast for her beautiful mother and Feng Xiaoqi, cooking everything herself.
One only had the best things to say about Feng Wu's cooking. She was a master in that area.
In less than an hour —
Ten dishes were laid out on the table.
Today, Feng Wu opted for peppery, spicy, and appetizing Sichuan-style cuisine.
Kung pao prawns.
Sliced elk meat in hot chili oil.
Stir-fried vermicelli with spicy minced pork.
Pork fillet with sweet and sour sauce.
Seared green chili peppers.
Braised radish and cured meat.
Steamed beef in rice flour.
-
She made nine scrumptious dishes and paired them with slow-cooked ham with rice.
Once the dishes were set out, the table looked so brightly lit in different shades of red that it was almost dazzling.
However, her mother's and Feng Xiaoqi's eyes lit up.
It was hard to imagine that someone with such fine taste like the beautiful lady was in fact a fan of hot, spicy, and savory food like this. How amazing.
Just when they were about to dig into the feast —
