Legend of the Asura

Chapter 287: Shadow Woman

Bao Bao’s mother didn’t reply and just leaned in towards Bao Bao to say, “Bao Bao, go and play in the hall first, alright? Mom has some private things to talk about with your big brother Asura.”

Private words!? Feng Xiao’s legs turned soft and his body couldn’t help shaking……Does she normally talk to Bao Bao like this? It’s no wonder Bao Bao was as innocent as a ten year old girl even though she was thirteen.

Bao Bao’s eyes were filled with confusion, “What does mom want to talk to big brother Asura about? Bao Bao can’t listen?”

“Bao Bao, be good. Mom is talking about some private things. Private things can’t be heard by others.” She had a graceful and loving smile on her face as she explained in a gentle voice.

“Big brother Feng.” Yang Xi Ruo’s voice came from behind and she walked over with soft steps. After lovingly looking at Feng Xiao for a bit, she gave a slight bow to Bao Bao’s mother, “Hello auntie, I am Yang Xi Ruo. You can just call me Ruo Ruo.”

Whether it was her expression, her voice, or her movements, she had the grace and nobility of a noble. This girl who had escaped her misery and returned to the light, finding her happiness, was no longer as weak and humble as before.

The woman looked at her and a look of praise flashed in her eyes. She revealed a gentle smile, “Your fame as a fairy is already known by everyone. Seeing you today, I really am surprised.”

“Thank you for auntie’s praise.” Yang Xi Ruo didn’t show that much joy on her face. She was now in a dream, she didn’t care about what others thought about her. She leaned over and softly said to Bao Bao, “Bao Bao, let’s go play in the hall, alright?”

Bao Bao looked at her mom and looked at Feng Xiao before giving a nod. She left with Yang Xi Ruo with an unwilling look on her face. She really wanted to know what kind of private things the two people she loved the most were talking about.

After Bao Bao left, the space was filled with that aura like a cold blade. The two of them silently stood there with a silence between them.

“Who are you?” The woman coldly looked at him and gradually pulled back her aura as she felt surprised. With that black mask, she couldn’t see his expressions changing, but the face revealed under the mask didn’t even twitch in response to the aura that she released. This at least showed that he wasn’t affected by her aura at all.

This caused her heart to be secretly shocked. That was because there weren’t that many people in China that could do this.

“I am Asura.” Feng Xiao replied with a calm look along with a bit of respect for an elder in his calm voice. He was also trying to secretly figure out the other side’s identity.

The woman knitted her brows and the coldness in her eyes became stronger, “You know what I’m asking about?”

Feng Xiao gave a helpless sigh, “Sorry auntie, I can’t answer this question. At least I can’t right now.”

“You hiding your identity doesn’t matter since you have many enemies and all of them are strong.” The coldness in the woman’s eyes faded as her voice became calmer, “I don’t know if you are arrogant or confident, whether it is intentional or not, but the strongest forces in China almost all have grudges with you……But if you keep hiding yourself, how can I be assured in leaving Bao Bao with you?”

“I have a reason for hiding my identity.” Feng Xiao didn’t back down as he met her gaze and his voice became determined, “I admit that my opponents are all powerful, but I promise auntie with everything that I won’t let Bao Bao suffer one bit! Whoever dares to hurt Bao Bao, I will make them regret their life!”

The strong confidence gave off an aura that wasn’t weak that moved her heart, as well as raising her opinion of him. Perhaps it was because he raised his voice to the point that it brokered no argument or because Bao Bao already had an incurable dependence of him that her heart unconsciously approved of his cherishment of Bao Bao, or it could be considered his feelings.

“I’ve secretly investigated you. At least in this world, you are very strong. So strong that those powerful forces can’t take advantage of you, so I believe in your strength. Bao Bao is my life, I definitely will not let her be injured at all. I hope that you can keep your promise and properly protect her.” The woman finished with a calm look before turning to head to the hall.

“Auntie, you……” Feng Xiao was surprised and couldn’t react. He never would have thought that she would give Bao Bao to him so easily.

“If it isn’t because Bao Bao is completely dependent to you, if it wasn’t for Bao Bao being happy with you, do you think that I would let you so easily take someone who’s half a daughter to me?”

Feng Xiao was surprised before secretly revealing a foolish smile. He followed behind her, “Relax, auntie, I definitely will not make you regret your decision today……When the time is right, I’ll definitely tell auntie my identity.”

“Your identity?” The woman stopped and turned to look at him with a strange smile, “I already know it.”

She only had her doubts before, but when Yang Xi Ruo had called him “big brother Feng”, she already knew who he was.

Feng Xiao’s face froze.

“Just pretend I don’t know, or I’m just pretending to know.” She didn’t explain anything and walked into the hall.

Feng Xiao was frozen there as his heart was filled with chaos.

This woman definitely wouldn’t talk lightly, let alone in such a certain tone.

Could it be that she really found something……No, impossible. He never revealed anything in front of Bao Bao, so it was even more impossible in front of other outsiders.

Feng Xiao shook his head and forced himself to believe that she was only pretending to know. He calmed himself and walked into the hall.

The cold and sharp eyes swept over every part of the hall before falling on the board that was in the corner before knitting her brows.

“Mom, are you done talking to big brother Asura?” Bao Bao immediately threw herself in her embrace. Xi Ruo was a bit surprised because they took far less time than she had thought.

“Un.” She took Bao Bao’s little hand, “Bao Bao, log off with mom first. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen grandma and grandpa.”

She had already achieved her goal. She could feel power from him and unpredictability, but there wasn’t the evil aura that made her worry or the hateful aura that she thought there would be.

Rather, she strangely felt a favourable impression of him from the first moment she saw him.

“Un!” Bao Bao gave an obedient nod. She ran over to Feng Xiao and stood on her tiptoes to place a kiss on his cheek with a smile, “Bye, big brother Asura. I’m going to see grandma and grandpa with mom now.”

She didn’t know that this habit of saying goodbye made her mom secretly helplessly shake her head.

Walking over to take her hand, her eyes fell onto Feng Xiao again and she sent a private message in a calm voice, “If you let Bao Bao be injured in the slightest, I will not forgive you……Also, if you do something to Bao Bao that you shouldn’t do, i will definitely make you pay the most serious price!”

This threat and warning would normally be a fuse for him, but he didn’t feel anything negative when he heard it from her.

This was the love of a mother for her daughter, let alone that she was Bao Bao’s mother.

Only, did she really know his identity?

Bao Bao’s mother came out of the gaming cabin and sat there in thought for a bit while waiting for her little angel to change clothes. After a while, she picked up her phone and dialed a very short number.

It took a while for this call to connect, but she didn’t blame them at all as she said in a soft voice, “I just met Asura.”

“Oh……What feeling did he give you?” A calm man’s voice came from the other side.

She thought for a bit before slowly replying, “Very strong and so deep that I couldn’t see through him. He must have a strong power and a strong backing in reality as well. But I can see that he is very good to Bao Bao and there’s no clear evil aura around him. Moreover……” She hesitated a bit, but she didn’t reveal his identity in real life.

The man was silent for a bit before asking, “How long did you have contact with him?”

“Less than a minute. His heart is calm and didn’t say anything he shouldn’t say.”

“I understand.”

The call ended and she was silent for a bit before dialing another number. The call immediately connected and she softly said, “Completely investigate this person called Feng Xiao for me! Remember, it must be everything!”

“Mom! I’m done changing.” The door was gently pushed open and Bao Bao came in with a water blue dress. She was as graceful as a little elf flowing through water.

She revealed a faint smile and stood up after putting down the phone, “Let’s go, we’re going to grandfather’s house now. He must be missing you.”

As she stood up, Bao Bao saw a faint red light coming from the table. She curiously came over and took the light in her hand. Then there was an unbelievably warm and light feeling that came from her hand.

“Mom! This dagger is so light.” Bao Bao brought it in front of her mom and said this with a smile.

Seeing the faint red glowing dagger, she fixed her clothes before saying with a smile, “Yes, it’s name is called Flying Feather and it is as light as a feather.”

“Flying Feather? This name sounds so good.” Bao Bao liked it even more as she looked at it before looking up to say, “Mom, give it to me, alright? I really like it.”

She had already expected this with the way she looked at it. With a helpless smile, she gently took Flying Feather from her hand, “No! This blade is very sharp, it will hurt Bao Bao. Moreover, it was used by a bad person. My Bao Bao is a good child, how could you use something that a bad person used before?”

This Flying Feather, it was unknown how many lives Blood Emperor Ying Feng had taken with it. She definitely wouldn’t allow a weapon filled with killing aura approach Bao Bao.
