By now, Feng Xiaoqi had reached Feng Wu!
"Sister! Sister! Bad news! His Royal Highness is here! H- he —" Looking over his shoulder, Feng Xiaoqi spotted Jun Linyuan right away. The boy's face went ghastly pale and he was completely at a loss over what to say.
Feng Wu looked up at the entrance.
Jun Linyuan and the others looked in Feng Wu's direction at the same moment.
Their eyes met.
Rumble —
As if a sudden clap of thunder had exploded in their heads, everyone froze on the spot!
No one made a sound…
Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu unblinkingly, with no idea how intense his gaze was!
Feng Xun's mouth fell open and his eyes were open so wide that his eyeballs could fall out at any moment!
Even Xuan Yi, the teenage prig, looked spellbound…
Fairy Muyao felt as if a thunderstorm had taken root in her head. Lightning streaked and there were claps of thunder along with a heavy downpour, extinguishing all her self-delusions.
Feng Yiran and Feng Liu were also rendered speechless.
For Feng Wu… looked amazing!
How beautiful was she?
She was as pretty as a picture, bright-eyed and comely; she looked radiant, and was lovely enough to overthrow states and cities; she could break men's hearts with a wink; she looked like a gift from God, and one would forget all vulgarities in her presence…
It was safe to say that all the excessive praise in the world wouldn't be enough to describe a fraction of her beauty!
She was beautiful beyond description!
"OMG!" Feng Xun was the first to react. He rubbed his eyes and rubbed them again. "Am I having an illusion? I always knew that she was going to be a beauty, but I never expected this! She's gorgeous!"
Feng Xun turned to Fairy Muyao right away. "See that? See? I wasn't lying, was I, when I told you that Feng Wu was beautiful? Now that you've finally seen her with your own eyes, do you believe me now?"
Fairy Muyao felt like throttling Feng Xun there and then!
She wasn't blind, alright? She could tell how beautiful Feng Wu was! As much as she hated losing, she couldn't call Feng Wu ugly when the girl looked this stunning! Fine, Feng Wu was a real beauty, but did Feng Xun have to remind her constantly? He was doing it on purpose, wasn't he? That was so annoying!
Fairy Muyao glared at Feng Xun, her eyes spitting fire!
On the other side, Feng Liu clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into her palms!
Feng Wu, what the hell are you doing? You dressed up like this as soon as you heard the crown prince was here. Even a blind man can see what you have in mind! When His Royal Highness's eyes finally landed on me, you're going to take him away? You wish!
Feng Wu, on the other hand…
She had never felt so frustrated.
Jun Linyuan's eyes were so bright, and had a sharpness that seemed to be able to see through everything.
Stared at by those sharp eyes, Feng Wu was on tenterhooks. Her heart raced and she became very twitchy.
Calm down. I must calm down. The consequences would be unthinkable if he found out… Feng Wu curled her hands into fists under her sleeves at that thought!
She had indulged her mother and let her dress her up like this so that these people wouldn't connect her to Feng Xiaowu. At a crucial moment like this, she couldn't afford any mistakes.
With that in mind, Feng Wu took a deep breath and walked toward Jun Linyuan, keeping the lower hem of her dress off the ground. Her steps were as even as if she had measured them with a ruler, and she behaved as perfectly as a daughter of an eminent family.
She stopped in front of Jun Linyuan, gave the courtesy sign of the highest respect, and knelt down. "The daughter of the Feng family hereby wishes Your Royal Highness happiness and peace."
She followed the etiquette to the tee without an extra step or word. She looked like a human-sized puppet that had no liveliness in her at all. The girl in high spirits they remembered was nowhere to be found.
Jun Linyuan frowned a little.
Feng Xun's mouth fell open —
Feng Wu stole a glance at the others out of the corner of her eye after her greeting, and was very pleased by the astonishment on their faces.
The girl in front of them was the polar opposite of the Feng Xiaowu they met in Frozen Forest. Even if they might have somehow suspected her before, they shouldn't now.
Feng Xun rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again.
He was scared by what he saw.
What the hell? Was this the lively Feng Wu they knew from five years ago?
"What happened to you in these five years? What turned you into this girl… I don't understand." Feng Xun stared at Feng Wu, then began to walk around her in circles, examining her closely.
Feng Wu clenched her fists, but kept her face as stiff as a dull beauty should. She saluted at the others and said, "As the daughter of a respectable family, I really shouldn't be meeting any outsiders. Now, if you will excuse me."
After that, Feng Wu bowed, her slim figure swaying a little in the wind, and was ready to take her leave.
"You're not going anywhere!" Feng Xun grabbed Feng Wu by her sleeve.
Feng Wu could feel an intense gaze on her right hand, which seem to prick the skin. Jun Linyuan was observing her!
Caught between Jun Linyuan's and Feng Xun's attention, Feng Wu took a deep breath. She had to put on a convincing act, otherwise she would be paying a very big price.
Looking up, Feng Wu stared at Feng Xun with glistening eyes, her tone flat and emotionless. "Young Lord, it's improper for men and women to touch hands. If Your Grace insists on behaving like this, I will have no choice but to crack my head open on the iron column over there to defend my virtue."
That successfully scared Feng Xun off and he let go of her hand immediately.
However, he still stared at Feng Wu; it was just that he looked displeased now. Frowning, he murmured to himself, "Can five years change a person so much?"
He still remembered that unrestrained Feng Wu when they fought each other back then. She never hesitated to kick him in the groin!
But now, she wouldn't stop all this formal address and she knelt down all the time. It was so upsetting. Feng Xun even began to suspect that a different soul was living in that body now. How could she have become such a boring girl?
Feng Wu bowed at Feng Xun again.
Feng Xun waved his hand in vexation. "Keep still and don't bow again! You're not a maid-servant, what's with all these humble moves? I'm so frustrated with you!"
As the saying went, the higher the expectation, the bigger the disappointment.
In Feng Xun's memory, Feng Wu had always been an aloof yet lively girl, who was as brilliant as the morning sun. Who was this prude in front of him now?
Hence, Feng Xun flipped his sleeves and turned around grumpily. He seemed to be angry with himself as much as with her.
Seeing Feng Wu like this, Xuan Yi frowned as well, looking utterly disappointed.
Fairy Muyao, who had been astonished by Feng Wu's beauty, was elated to see how boring the girl turned out to be.
Hahaha, Feng Wu, what a waste of that stunning face of yours. That's such an off-putting personality! What good will your beauty do you?!
Feng Yiran and Feng Liu exchanged looks. This was strange. Feng Wu had been all pushy and overbearing a moment ago… What was going on here?
