Little Prodigal Alliance Head (and Cook) - Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Chapter 212 . 1: Who Exactly Hurt You, Hurt Her


 
After she finished speaking, she stomped out without waiting for Su Yi to react . She rushed straight out of the City Lord Residence without a pause .

Who cared about being Alliance Head? Who cared about his Seven Great Saint Tribes? Who cared about some City Lord, Disseminating Tassel Fragrance…

What did any of it have to do with her? She had only coincidentally transmigrated to this world into Li Xueyi’s body . The real Li Xueyi was already dead, so why did she have to bear so much!?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged by everything that had happened . Several times she had almost lost her life and had to stifle her anger for no reason…

She was seriously tired of this kind of life . When she thought about the tranquil moment from this afternoon in which they just watched smoke rise from chimneys, her nose started stinging . She wished so much that time could have stopped at that moment .

She didn’t blame Su Yi, she didn’t blame anyone . She only blamed herself for being too weak, too simple, too rash… for never considering the consequences of her actions and not being able to see through the essence of things; for thinking of everything in terms that were too simple, for only thinking of today and not the future .

She thought that she might as well die . After she died, maybe she would transmigrate back .

Even if she couldn’t transmigrate back, after she died she wouldn’t have to be involved in these things anymore .

She crouched down beneath the eaves at a corner of a street . This world was large, yet it was difficult to find a place that truly belonged to her, that was her home .

Where should she go now?

Or should she just wait here for Su Yi to come find her?

However, right now, he was probably randomly throwing stuff in the City Lord Residence while swearing never to care about her again .

Maybe she should just wait for Liu Zhiyuan to come after her and off her with one slash . Then everything would be over .

“Little Xueyi?” Just as she was quickly giving up all hope in life, a familiar voice came from above her head . She looked up and saw that Feng Wu was currently walked through the street holding an umbrella . She tilted her head back further to look at the sky and discovered that at some time it had started raining .

Perhaps Feng Wu saw that Tang Doudou’s eyes were red because she hastily closed the umbrella and crouched down under the eaves next to Tang Doudou to ask, “What happened? Why were you crying? Who bullied you? Tell Big Sister Feng Wu, I’ll help you teach him a lesson!”

“It’s nothing . ” Tang Doudou looked at Feng Wu, then buried her head in her arms again like a turtle . She couldn’t cover up her sobs as she spoke . “Big Sister Feng Wu, you should just go . There’s no need to mind me . ”

“How can I do that?” Of course Feng Wu refused to do so . She lifted Tang Doudou’s head up and asked worriedly, “What exactly happened?”

“Nothing, really . ” Tang Doudou knew that Feng Wu was worrying about her, but she really didn’t know what she should say . There was no way she could say that she had transmigrated over, that she wasn’t the real Li Xueyi, right?

Setting aside the question of whether Feng Wu would believe her or not, even if she did believe it, what would change?

There was only one Li Xueyi . No one would let her off and allow her to leave this so-called Jianghu just because she wasn’t the real Li Xueyi .

She finally understood what was meant by ‘people within the Jianghu didn’t have the freedom to act independently . ’

Sometimes, even if you didn’t want it to, life would still continue . Tomorrow, the sun would still rise the way it did every day .

“Aiy, child . ” Feng Wu sighed and didn’t continue to try to persuade her . She simply stood next to her and silently watched the rain that had already grown heavy . Rain fell and flowed down the eaves, making pattering sounds and blurring the scene ahead . In the rainy night, even the brightest lights in the city turned dim and hazy .

“Big Sis Feng Wu!” Tang Doudou felt very apologetic when she saw Feng Wu standing next to her, but she didn’t know what to say .

She bit her lips . She wasn’t the type to be immersed in her sorrow and worries even if she hadn’t finished thinking through things . Moreover, how could she not be moved when she saw Feng Wu silently keeping her company like this?

“Little Xueyi . ” Seeing that Tang Doudou had taken the initiative to speak, Feng Wu once again crouched down and looked into Tang Doudou’s eyes earnestly as she said, “I know what you’re thinking right now, and I also understand how you feel . After you lost your memories, you became different from how you were before . However, I like you as you are now, because you now know what it means to smile, to suffer . You seem much more human . ”

“You want to leave all of these conflicts and entangling worries to go live a nice and simple life, right?”

She had been alive for almost a hundred years; how could she not be able to tell what was currently troubling Tang Doudou?

“I…”

“But there are simply too many things that are binding you down like countless thorny vines . It hurts to struggle, but also hurts when you don’t struggle . ”

Feng Wu’s words were exactly right . Tang Doudou’s mood had just improved but now she felt distressed again . It didn’t just hurt . After hurting, she still couldn’t struggle free . It was pain layered on pain .

“However, isn’t life simply like this? Any place where there are people, there is a Jianghu . If the Jianghu was metaphorically compared to those thorny vines, even if you struggle free from these vines, you would still enter another patch of vines . ”

“Rather than trying to struggle painfully, why not make yourself become strong and sharp!? Cut through the entangling vines! Then, even if you enter another patch of vines, you’ll have nothing to fear!”

That’s right!

Why did she have to struggle? Why didn’t it occur to her to just cut through it!?

Fleeing from things would only make things more complicated . Matters would only be resolved if she faced them . As long as it was a problem, there would be a way to resolve it!

These words immediately made Tang Doudou feel enlightened . She looked towards Feng Wu gratefully . “Thank you, Big Sister Feng Wu . I understand now!”

Only then did Feng Wu give a gratified smile and offer Tang Doudou her hand . “Let’s go, come to Big Sister’s place and tell me what happened . ”

“En!” Tang Doudou replied happily as she placed her hand in Feng Wu’s palm . However, she almost instinctively retracted her hand when she felt that chilling cold . She knitted her brows . “You…”

“Whose life is easy ah!” Feng Wu sighed as she pulled Tang Doudou up from the ground .

Tang Doudou suddenly recalled that Su Yi and Feng Wu looked completely different from their ages . Could it be that their current states had something to do with why their hands were so cold?

Chapter 212 . 2: Who Exactly Hurt You, Hurt Her

Feng Wu opened her umbrella . “Rain during the sunny season usually stops after just a while, but today the rain is just getting worse . We’ll probably be drenched by the time we get back . ”

She kept saying ‘Big Sister’s place,’ but didn’t mention the City Lord Residence at all . From the looks of it, Feng Wu didn’t live at the City Lord Residence .

This made Tang Doudou curious . Hadn’t Feng Wu rushed here from hundreds of miles away to find Su Yi?

Leaving aside the fact for now that she rarely saw Feng Wu, why was Feng Wu living outside of the City Lord Residence?

Feng Wu had probably guessed what Tang Doudou was thinking . As she pulled Tang Doudou and walked into the rain, she explained, “In regards to men ah, even if you like a person to the point he fills your heart, you must still maintain the haughtiness of a woman and can’t lower your dignity too much . You can’t allow him to feel that you wouldn’t be able to live without him . ”

“Of course, with this kind of distance it’ll also make it hard for him to see through your thoughts, so from time to time he’ll think of you . It’s much better using this method than to keep bothering him every day and causing him to be sick of you . ”

Tang Doudou was speechless . Feng Wu seriously had the talent to be the host of a relationship talk show .

It was also to be expected . She had lived for so long, what hadn’t she seen before?

Constantly hanging around and bothering a man was indeed very annoying, especially when it was towards someone that didn’t like you .

It seemed that in the future she had to work hard and learn from Feng Wu so that Baili Yu would treat her considerately and sweetly . It’d be best if he never goes out to attract butterflies and bees, especially things like female cousins and little junior sisters…

Baili Yu, who was in a distant inn drinking tea with Jun Xin, never would have imagined that his little wife had already, due to a couple words from someone, decided to maintain a set distance from him from now on .

He had taken off his flirtatious red robe and changed into an elegant white garment that gave off a very celestial feel . He lay sideways on the couch, his fox-like eyes closed lightly . He only opened his eyes once Jun Xin finished talking about how he walked Tang Doudou back to the City Lord Residence .

Looking towards the injury on Jun Xin’s arm, Baili Yu asked softly, “How did you get injured?”

Jun Xin had already gotten rid of the poison and bandaged the wound . Hence, what Baili Yu saw right now was simply that a white cloth was wrapped around Jun Xin’s arm . The condition of the injury couldn’t actually be made out .

“It was just a little accident . ” If he said that it was Nangong Yan who had made several attempts on Tang Doudou’s life, this person would probably head over right now to personally kill Nangong Yan for revenge .                                           

However, there was only one outcome for that . The Island Master wouldn’t be able to do anything to Baili Yu, but he had countless ways to deal with Tang Doudou .

Baili Yu was only a person; he wasn’t god . Even if he had enormous capabilities, there was no way he could stay by Tang Doudou’s side every day . That was why it was best for him to deal with this matter himself . No one would link his actions to Tang Doudou and it would actually instigate conflict between Wind Cloud Island and the Seven Great Saint Tribes…

“Ah Xin?”

He had been too immersed in his thoughts and only snapped out of it after Baili Yu had called him several times . “That’s all, nothing else happened . I’m tired so I’ll head back first to rest . If there’s anything else, let’s talk about it tomorrow . ”

He has always done as he said he would do when it came to deals with Baili Yu . Last time, he had agreed that as long as Baili Yu called him ‘Ah Xin’ again, he would come back to help and give up his desire for Tang Doudou .

The price Baili Yu had to pay was that he had to help him get revenge and help him protect Tang Doudou .

Baili Yu was also someone that kept his word . That’s why, when he called Jun Xin ‘Ah Xin,’ he had already completed the earlier deal .  (I think it meant that Baili Yu had taken revenge for Jun Xin, aka killed someone or multiple someones for Jun Xin . )

Although Jun Xin was rash and had also once considered killing Baili Yu, in the end he still couldn’t bring himself to do it . The brotherly friendship formed from once having fought side by side wasn’t something that could be severed so easily . Moreover, he had misunderstood this matter the entire time .

“That’s not what I want to know . ” Baili Yu sat up on the couch and gestured for the maids to withdraw .

Jun Xin watched with confusion as those maids went out, then watched as Baili Yu stood up and walked to him .

Baili Yu’s gaze was filled with complicated emotions as he looked at the Junior Brother in front of him that he had pretty much brought with him this entire way . He knew well that though Jun Xin looked as if he didn’t care about anything on the surface, he had a heart that cared about things more than anyone else did . Baili Yu then recollected his emotions and said slowly, “Ah Xin, have you really thought everything through? Are you sure you won’t regret this? You must know that choosing to help me is a path you won’t ever be able to turn back from . You’ve been with me so many years, yet you’ve never agreed to it before…”

Jun Xin interrupted him without bothering to listen to the end . He replied decisively without hesitation, “I won’t! I won’t regret!”

Following that, he looked straight at Baili Yu with a very resolute and sharp gaze . “I also believe in you . I believe that you won’t disappoint me!”

Baili Yu smiled . In comparison with those meaningful smiles from before, this smile was much more like a real smile . There were probably very few people in the world that had the chance to see him smile like this . “Ah Xin, thank you . ”

It had to be admitted that Baili Yu’s looks were way too beautiful . There were few people that could resist his looks when he smiled . Jun Xin turned his head away, refusing to look at this seductive yao as he said in a muffled voice, “Don’t celebrate too early . If I ever find out that you aren’t treating her well, don’t blame me for directly stealing her away . ”

“Haha, don’t worry, a day like that will never come!” Baili Yu said it lightly, yet the words contained deep certainty and confidence . “Now, you can tell me honestly, who exactly hurt you… and hurt her!”
