The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness

“No need.” Feng Tianlan answered mildly. She would let them live so that they could spread the word about what had happened today to the rest of the Feng Manor Guards. Not only would this work as intimidation, but Feng Tianlan also hoped that those loyal guards hiding in silence would show themselves to her and learn that she was someone who could carry the entire Feng Clan on her shoulders.

Luo Yunzhu nodded enthusiastically. Right now, she treated every word from Feng Tianlan like gospel; she was simply in awe of Tianlan. Feng Tianlan was her idol, and she wanted to be her die-hard fan.

Feng Tianlan took a deep breath and stabilized her disordered breathing. Slowly but steadily, she walked toward Feng Xiuyu, whom the guards had abandoned.

“You…what are you trying to do?” Seeing how Feng Tianlan walked toward her, she thought that her slow steps were like a death reaper’s, inching closer and closer. Feng Xiuyu widened her eyes in utmost horror. She dragged her battered body to the back, trying to put some distance between them.

That sort of fear engulfed her like a tidal wave. It drowned her and shook her to her soul’s very core. This was none other than fear of death and fear of Feng Tianlan. This terror would imprint on her for the rest of her life.

Xu Jiayi caught wind of what was happening and rushed over at once. She immediately saw the courtyard filled with corpses and Feng Xiuyu retreating in fear. As for Feng Tianlan, she unleased killing intent from head to toe, like a death reaper climbing out of the Nine Nether Hell.

“Stop!” Xu Jiayi screamed and sent out a ball of spiritual energy. Kneeling, she scooped Feng Xiuyu in her arms. “Yu’er, how are you feeling?”

“Mother, kill her! Quick, kill her now! She’s a devil, and she wants to kill me. Kill her, quick.” Feng Xiuyu, who was swallowed by terror, kept burrowing into Xu Jiayi’s chest. She trembled all over, and it was apparent that she was beyond traumatized.

Feng Tianlan was a devil—a devil who’d climbed out from the depths of hell. She was too scary.

Xu Jiayi’s heart panged with pain seeing Feng Xiuyu in such a state. Her chest thumped up and down in immense fury, and she shot death stares at Feng Tianlan. She wanted nothing more than to pounce on her and tear her throat.

“Feng Tianlan! Your father let you off the hook last time. As he values your father-daughter relationship, he did not drive you out of the manor. This time, however, I will not let this slide so easily.” After saying her piece, she raised her head and glared at Luo Yunzhu. “I will also make sure to demand an explanation from Dean Luo, Luo Yunzhu.”

This time, no matter who she went up against, she would not let these two off just like that.

Feng Tianlan scoffed at her words. She mocked, “When have you ever ‘let the matter slide so easily’? Also, just now, Luo Yunzhu was injured. Do you assume that Dean Luo will let that slide that easily too?”

Even if they set aside the question of severance in the father-daughter relationship, time and again, Feng Xiang had tried to kill her with his own two hands. Could those instances be described as ‘letting her off the hook’? What a joke.

“That’s right. My father dotes on me the most! Now that I’m injured, he will definitely confront you at your door.” Luo Yunzhu caught on quick and tried to find a wound. Alas, she found none, so she stretched out her right palm and pouted. “See, there’s blood here, and the skin’s torn. My father will be heartbroken when he sees this.”

Her father may speak sternly, but deep inside, his heart was soft. If she were indeed injured, he would make them pay for their deeds.

Pfft!

Feng Tianlan took one look and could not hold in her laughter. It was unintended, but the suffocating air lightened at once.

The so-called ‘bleeding and torn skin’ on Luo Yunzhu’s palm was simply due to her using too much force when whipping Feng Xiuyu. It was a small tear from overexertion, but what she’d said could make someone turn in their graves.

“You…” Xu Jiayi almost vomited blood, having been angered by Luo Yunzhu. Yu’er had been whipped until not a piece of unbroken skin could be found on her body, yet she had not uttered a word about being injured. Luo Yunzhu, on the other hand, had dared to say that she was wounded when she had only torn a small piece of skin. Not to mention the fact that this injury had come from forcefully whipping Yu’er!

How infuriating! She had never seen someone so blatantly distort the truth.
