Chapter 257 Extra: Snail Prince (14)
At the dinner table, the atmosphere between Bai Su and Gu Qingliu was very pleasant, and the two quickly became friends.
In contrast, the other two men at the table were much quieter.
Shi Tian himself is a man of few words, and as for Yan Fengchen, except when facing Bai Su, he is even more taciturn.
Especially now, the scene of Bai Su and Gu Qingliu having a good chat in front of him made him feel particularly irritated.
Gu Qingliu's appearance was very striking, and his little snail monster was pure and cute. The picture of the two of them together was particularly harmonious. Especially when he saw Bai Su's eyes shining as he looked at another man while talking, he felt very unhappy.
However, he couldn't express it directly. To put it bluntly, his relationship with Bai Su, apart from the previous favor, could only be described as friends. He didn't even have the identity and right to interfere, and could only drink glass after glass of wine in silence.
He waited until Bai Su thought it was almost done before standing up and saying that it was getting late and they should go back.
Gu Qingliu said goodbye with a natural smile. Yan Fengchen waited for them to finish their parting words, then immediately left with Bai Su impatiently. However, they did not take a carriage on the way back.
There was more than one way to the Flame Dragon Sect, so Bai Su suggested they take another route back. Although it was already completely dark, with their strength, they were not afraid of such a night journey.
Yan Fengchen naturally followed his sweetheart's wishes. He was holding bags of things that he had bought for Bai Su at the market. He refused to let Bai Su help and carried everything by himself.
So some burly men in black clothes who had been guarding the road they came from were standing there bored. They were the followers who were pretending to be bandits.
They'd been waiting here since the afternoon, waiting for far too long. Looking at Lai Xiujie, who was also bored, someone cautiously asked, "Master, will Master Yan and the others be back tonight? Is it possible they're staying in town?"
When Lai Xiujie heard this, he twitched his eyes and quietly rubbed his waist, which was a little sore from standing for a long time. He said stubbornly, "No, no, wait a little longer! Don't be so lazy, all of you, cheer up and act like a real person when the time comes!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded quickly. The master had spoken, so what else could they do? They could only continue to wait!
On the other side, Bai Su and Yan Fengchen, who had chosen another route back, had no idea what Lai Xiujie was doing. Bai Su even mentioned Gu Qingliu again, his tone full of admiration.
Thinking about how his sweetheart had such a pleasant chat with Gu Qingliu before, Yan Fengchen felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
He felt that although the little snail monster had been very close to him for such a long time, it was because he was the only one by his side.
But just now, Bai Su met Gu Qingliu, and now has other friends besides himself. Will he ignore himself and become interested in Gu Qingliu?
Will she realize that there are other men in this world who are no longer focused solely on her? Or even develop feelings for others?
When he thought of this, Yan Fengchen felt that he could not accept it at all, and even felt violent emotions in his heart.
At this moment, the sky has completely darkened. The moon is above the willow branches, and occasionally covered by clouds, making the scene even darker, just like the man's gloomy mood.
Yan Fengchen was in a bad mood. He came out this time specifically to cultivate a relationship with his little demon. If something really went wrong, he didn't want to accept the result at all.
So, he decided to tentatively ask Bai Su: "Xiaobai, how do you think your day was today?"
He wanted to know if the little demon would have more feelings for him after he brought her out.
Upon hearing this, Su deliberately smiled and said, "I had a great time today, Fengchen, thank you. It's really fun to come out once in a while.
Most importantly, thank you for letting me meet new friends. I think Gu Qingliu is a really nice person. Can we often find him to play with us in the future?"
Hearing Bai Su's words, Yan Fengchen could no longer suppress his expression. He secretly hated that this abominable Gu Qingliu had actually stolen his limelight and diverted so much attention from his beloved.
Fortunately, Gu Qingliu already had a lover, and he seemed to be very close to Shi Tian, so he wouldn't interfere with his relationship with Bai Su. This allowed Yan Fengchen to maintain his sanity. Otherwise, Master Yan would probably do something like challenge his rival in the middle of the night to warn him.
Just when Yan Fengchen had no place to vent his anger, two people suddenly rushed towards them and blocked their way.
This location was indeed a bit remote, and with the moon dark and the wind high, it was indeed prone to accidents. Especially the two masked, short-sleeved, and knife-wielding burly men in front of him, it was obvious that they were here to rob.
Then, Bai Su heard a man across from him say, "Hand over all your valuables quickly, and I'll spare your lives!"
Bai Su's mouth twitched upon hearing this, and he felt a little amused. These two men had fierce eyes, and it was obvious they weren't kind people. I'm afraid they often do this kind of thing. However, they were really good at robbing, and they actually robbed the King of Hell. They really thought their lives were too long.
The person opposite also verified Bai Su's idea, because the next second, the clouds on the moon dispersed and the moonlight poured down, making the scene in front of him much clearer, and allowing the person opposite to see Bai Su's face clearly.
The other man immediately stared at Bai Su, as if dumbfounded. He pulled down his veil, revealing a fat, pig-like face. He immediately said to Bai Su with a lewd look on his face, "Wait, not only do we want to rob you of your money, but this pretty boy has to come with us too.
This little face is really pretty, don't worry, brother will make you feel comfortable in a while!"
Originally, Yan Fengchen just watched coldly, thinking that the two people opposite were just jumping clowns. Even if he did not take action, the secret guards would take care of them in a while.
But the next sentence undoubtedly touched Yan Fengchen's vital point. This damned thing actually dared to say such obscene words to his sweetheart in front of him. How could he possibly tolerate this!
So, the man's eyes immediately turned cold. He approached the two men in an instant, removed the pig brother's jaw, making it impossible for him to speak nonsense, and knocked him to the ground with a palm, then crushed his vitals with a foot.
All this happened in a flash. These two men only knew a little bit of kung fu and relied on their strong physique to rob passers-by. On weekdays, they bullied ordinary people and had never seen a real martial arts master.
The other one turned pale with fright when he saw the miserable state of his companion. He knew that he had met a tough guy, and without caring about his companion who was lying on the ground and wailing, he ran away.
But how could Yan Fengchen let him go? He casually took out a copper coin from his waist and threw it out. In an instant, the copper coin deeply embedded in the ankle of the man who wanted to run away, severing his tendons. He fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Yan Fengchen moved quickly, and after dealing with the two men, he clapped his hands and summoned the secret guards. Then, he had the secret guards send the two men directly to the government office.
After the secret guard took the two robbers away, only Bai Su and Yan Fengchen were left here, and the world was quiet again.
Yan Fengchen then turned his head and pursed his lips at Bai Su, and asked, "Are you okay?"
The man felt a little uneasy. The day had been perfect, except that Gu Qingliu made him a little unhappy, but all this should be reparable.
But now, suddenly these two tactless guys showed up, not only polluting the boy's eyes and ears, but he also couldn't bear it for a moment and hit him a little too hard. Would Bai Su think he was cruel?
Yan Fengchen was vexed, but Bai Su was only happy that he was protected by his lover. Although those two big men were nothing to him, he really liked the feeling of his partner caring about him.
He naturally wanted to show his support for such a handsome hero saving a beautiful woman. So when he heard the man's question, he immediately looked at his lover with joy and said to him, "Feng Chen, you are really amazing. You solved these two people so easily!
You were so angry just now, right? Was it because of what that person said to me? Was it because of me that you hit me so hard?
Fengchen, you are so good to me! You saved me again!
Fengchen, you are the person I love most in this world."
After hearing Bai Su's words, Yan Fengchen's anxiety was relieved a lot.
But thinking about what happened before, he still felt a little awkward, and his tone unconsciously brought out sourness, saying: "Didn't you always say that Gu Qingliu is good before? I thought you liked him more than you liked me."
"How is that possible!"
Bai Su hurriedly shook his head vigorously: "I think Gu Qingliu is a very good person and I consider him a friend, but no matter what, he can't compare to you! In fact, I am mainly envious of him..."
Envy Gu Qingliu? What is there for him to envy!
Could it be that I accidentally overlooked something?
Yan Fengchen was a little confused when he heard this, and then he saw Bai Su clasping his hands awkwardly. After a long while, he blushed and whispered, "I really envy the relationship between him and Shi Tian. They have been together for so many years and they still love each other so much.
Haven't I been reading a lot of storybooks lately? Actually, I've always envied that kind of relationship, but I'm too embarrassed to tell you.
Because, because I found that my feelings for you, Fengchen, are not right.
I had just recently been able to transform into a human form and after gaining spiritual intelligence, I didn’t understand many things at first.
Originally, I just thought I was grateful to you and wanted to repay you. But after reading those picture books, I realized that I wanted more than just repayment. I wanted to see you all the time, and I wanted to be with you forever.
The love I feel for you is not for a friend, but for a partner.
But I never knew how to say it. You are my benefactor, and I don’t want you to be in trouble. But I am really upset! Especially after seeing Gu Qingliu and Shi Tian, I also hope that we can be the same as them! "
At this point, Bai Su's tone suddenly dropped, and he waved his hand, saying, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Don't be embarrassed, I know I'm just a strange little demon that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
You have been so good to me, why am I still so unsatisfied and have such extravagant expectations?
I know I am not worthy of you, but please don't drive me away, I will be satisfied as long as you let me stay with you!"
The author has something to say:
Bai Su: Oh, I'm just a poor little girl with unrequited love~
