บท 25: The Engagement Wasn't Off?!
บรรณาธิการ: Henyee Translations
Feng Xun kept on talking as he cleaned Feng Wu up. "Feng Wu was swept off her feet by Boss Jun back then. There was this time when she waited for us outside Imperial College, and when we came out, she inched toward us with this shy gait, handed him an Eternity Stone, then ran off. Hahaha!"
Feng Wu was speechless. It was a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!
It was an Eternity Stone, true, but she had delivered it for Chaoge, her BFF. And she had made that clear when she gave him the stone. How come they thought it was from her instead?
Had her voice been drowned out by the laughter from Feng Xun and the others?
Plus, she neither "inched," nor was she shy! She had been practising that Phoenix Dance her beautiful master taught her, and her feet had been covered in wounds. She simply wasn't able to walk any faster!
Feng Xun laughed as he told the story. Looking down, he saw Feng Wu's clenched fists and knitted eyebrows and was intrigued. "Little thing, why do you look so nervous? Are you jealous because you're in love with Boss Jun as well? Don't worry, Boss Jun broke off his engagement with Feng Wu and there's nothing between them now."
Feng Wu almost choked on her own spit!
Jun Linyuan? Come on, she wouldn't fall in love with that man even if he was the last man on earth!
Feng Wu waved her hands hastily. "No, of course not. I'm not going to fall in love with your Boss Jun, never —" Thump!
Feng Wu was in such a flurry that she waved her hands a little too forcefully. An amber-colored tall glass fell when she swung her arm and she rushed to catch it. However, she hit her forehead hard on the corner of the table and the sharp pain immediately brought tears to her eyes.
It all happened so fast that no one had time to react.
Feng Xun was speechless.
Xuan Yi's mouth fell open.
And so did Muyao's.
Jun Linyuan looked up, his chiseled face as handsome and inscrutable as ever. He then said in an impassive tone, "I didn't."
Everyone needed a moment to digest that piece of information. All of a sudden, Feng Xun smacked the table and stared at Jun Linyuan. "Boss Jun, what did you just say? You didn't?! As in, you're still engaged to Feng Wu?!"
Jun Linyuan nodded.
"That can't be!" Feng Xun's attention was immediately drawn by the subject. "How is that possible? Didn't you break off the engagement back then?"
"I didn't sign it." Jun Linyuan's eyes were as clear and brooding as deep pools and his voice didn't betray any emotion.
As always, he gave off this majestic, stately, and detached air.
Feng Wu was utterly baffled.
He didn't sign the paper to break off their engagement? What was that supposed to mean? So, she was still Jun Linyuan's fiancee? Shit! No!!!
Feng Wu opened her eyes wide in surprise and she had to fight back her impulse to go up to Jun Linyuan, grab him by his collar, and shake him violently for an explanation!
Feng Xun was exhilarated.
"So, you didn't sign it at the last minute? Wow!" Feng Xun looked like he had just discovered the New Land. He smacked the table again. "Boss Jun, don't tell me that you're secretly in love with Feng Wu! Did you refuse to sign it because of that? Did you? Gosh! How could I miss that?! You and Feng Wu!"
Xuan Yi stared at Jun Linyuan with wide open eyes.
So did Fairy Muyao!
Fairy Muyao seemed to wake up from a dream and cried out, "That's impossible! His Royal Highness can't be in love with Feng Wu! She's useless now."
บท 26: Because She's Beautiful

"Because she's beautiful," said Feng Xun.
"She's useless."
"Because she's beautiful."
"She's…"
"Because she's beautiful." Feng Xun nodded at Fairy Muyao, looking very sincere.
Fairy Muyao had never felt so defeated at the successive blows she had received today.
Feng Wu was exasperated and protested, waving her hands around, "No, of course he's not in love with…" She had to fight back that last "me" to stop herself from revealing her true identity.
Feng Wu froze on the spot.
Whoosh —
Everyone's gazes turned from Jun Linyuan to Feng Wu.
Feng Xun was speechless.
Xuan Yi's mouth fell open.
Fairy Muyao fell silent.
"Feng Xiaowu! You… Say you don't like Boss Jun again?!" Feng Xun looked shocked.
Feng Wu fell forward in despair until her forehead hit the table. She waved at them in resignation. "… I'm not even here. Go back to whatever you were talking about."
All the words in the world weren't enough for her to give a convincing explanation, and she simply gave up.
Glaring at Feng Wu, Fairy Muyao snorted inwardly. "In your dreams! Tch!"
However, Feng Xun was too preoccupied to notice Feng Wu anymore. Rushing to Jun Linyuan's side, he asked in great agitation, "Boss Jun, you didn't answer my question! Did you refuse to break off the engagement because you like Feng Wu? Did you? Did you? DID YOU? Aah!!!"
Jun Linyuan brushed Feng Xun off, finding the latter distasteful, and frowned. "The other way round."
The other way round? Feng Xun was as quick-witted as ever. Folding his arms, he snapped his fingers and announced confidently, "I see! What Boss Jun means is that seeing how infatuated Feng Wu was with you, you couldn't bring yourself to break her heart. So, that was why you didn't break off the engagement?"
Who on earth was so infatuated with Jun Linyuan?! Feng Wu almost jumped to her feet.
However, to Feng Wu's utter disbelief, that born ruler and the majestic crown prince replied with a noncommittal "hm."
He. Gave. A. "Hm"!
How. Could. He?
Feng Wu opened her eyes so wide that her eyeballs could have fallen out.
What was that reply supposed to mean?
Beside her, Fairy Muyao couldn't take it anymore. Biting her lip, she asked, "But why didn't you do it? Feng Wu is useless now. She can't cultivate anymore and will remain a mortal woman. She will grow old like they all do and in a few decades, she'll be all white-haired and wrinkled. Your Royal Highness, she doesn't deserve someone as godlike as you."
Those words brought silence to the table.
Feng Xun said in a forlorn voice, "Feng Wu became Failure Wu when she was only eight, right? What a pity."
Feng Wu glared at Feng Xun. Failure Wu? Failure? That was such an awful nickname.
Feng Xun had no idea that the girl in question was sitting right across the table and was venting her anger inwardly. He was at a loss at the dirty look Feng Wu gave him.
Fairy Muyao smirked. "The Feng family pushed their daughter too far until Feng Wu's cultivation went awry. Her True Phoenix Blood exploded, turning her into a good-for-nothing that can't cultivate anymore. Who else could they blame but Feng Wu herself? She was too greedy."
Feng Wu clenched her fists and smirked inwardly.
So, that was the rumor the Zuo family spread. Pushed her too far? Cultivation gone awry? Her greed leading to her True Phoenix Blood exploding? Ha!
