Chapter 117 Embarrassment
Just then, a loud bang came from the kitchen, and thick smoke began to billow out.
"Oh no! Put out the fire! The alliance leader is still inside!" Those outside exclaimed in alarm. Then someone shouted.
Lan'er was also startled and quickly ran over. Just as she reached the door, she saw Di Feisheng walking out in a disheveled state, his face covered in soot.
"Pfft!" Lan'er burst out laughing instantly.
Everyone else suppressed their laughter; when had they ever seen their leader so disheveled? Oh, except for that time he fought with Sect Leader Li in the East Sea. Afraid of being recognized, they quickly slipped away. As for putting out the fire, it had only just started; it wasn't a big problem, and two buckets of water were enough to extinguish it.
Di Feisheng's face darkened further. It was obvious that these people were suppressing their laughter, but he had no mood to deal with them this time.
He stood there tense, feeling somewhat uneasy. He wondered if Lan'er would dislike him for not being able to do such a simple thing as cooking well.
Lan'er walked over and stood in front of him, then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his face.
Di Feisheng froze, not daring to move, silently watching Lan'er wipe his face. Her movements were gentle, her gaze focused, and a faint smile played on her lips. Looking at her, Di Feisheng's heart raced involuntarily, and the unease on his face gradually gave way to a sweet smile.
After wiping her face, Lan'er looked up and met Di Feisheng's gaze. Their eyes met, and it felt as if an electric current passed through the air. Suddenly, Di Feisheng reached out and gently grasped Lan'er's hand, a hint of nervousness flashing in his eyes.
Lan'er's cheeks flushed crimson like ripe apples, and her heart pounded wildly like a runaway horse. She tried to break free from Di Feisheng's grasp, but when she caught a glimpse of the barely perceptible tension in his eyes, she froze.
Lan'er took a deep breath, as if drawing in all her courage. Her voice stammered slightly, as if something was blocking her throat: "You...do you like me?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Di Feisheng's eyes. He hadn't expected Lan'er to ask the question so directly. He was secretly delighted. Had Lan'er finally come to her senses? Although he was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't been the one to bring it up first, he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
Without hesitation, Di Feisheng replied, "Yes, Lan'er, I like you. I've liked you since the first time we met." His voice was deep and firm, as if he had recited those words countless times in his heart.
Lan'er fell silent, her mind in turmoil. Although she did have some affection for Di Feisheng, she remembered what Qing'er had said. Di Feisheng was indeed quite wealthy and could afford to support her, but his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and he couldn't even beat her. Could he really protect her? However, she had heard from her fifth sister that this world had only just begun cultivating for a few years. To have cultivated to this level in so many years was truly genius, and he would definitely be very powerful in the future. But he wasn't powerful now, so she was extremely conflicted.
Seeing her silent expression, Di Feisheng felt a chill run through him. He released her hand with a touch of disappointment, then forced back his tears and said, "It's okay..."
At the same time, Lan'er whispered, "Could you wait until I see my fifth sister before answering you?"
Di Feisheng's eyes lit up. Seeing an opportunity, he quickly said, "Okay, let's go find your fifth sister now." After saying that, he pulled Lan'er out the door.
At the foot of Yunyin Mountain
Looking at Yunyin Mountain, Lan'er asked somewhat nervously, "Is my fifth sister really here?"
“Okay, let’s go up.” Di Feisheng nodded. Actually, he was a little nervous. Lan’er seemed to listen to her sister a lot. What if her sister disagreed? No, if her sister disagreed, he would… At worst, he would just stop fighting with Li Xiangyi.
As for why we walk up instead of flying up, it's a matter of respect. If it were before, Di Feisheng wouldn't care and would have flown up long ago.
