Chapter 745: Don’t Speak of Dumplings, I’m Disgusted
Xi Jin looked at her worriedly and said, “I heard that the Demon King was here, so I ca to see him. What’s wrong with you? What did he say?”
Xi Lin shook her head and said, “He didn’t say anything.” She was just thinking about how to persuade her Imperial Brother to call off the wedding.
“What the hell is going on? You look terrible.” Xi Jin looked at her ashen face and beca very worried. He had many brothers and sisters, but she was his only full sibling.
Xi Lin shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”
“Do you like the Demon King?” Xi Jin asked tentatively.
Xi Lin jerked her head up and looked at Xi Jin, who had a serious look on his face. She laughed in spite of herself and said, “Imperial Brother, don’t let your imagination run wild. Why would I like him?”
She was only like this because she’d just seen Dai’er and had co to know so of the heinous things Shen Yunya had done. That was all.
Xi Jin didn’t care whether she spoke the truth or not. He said very seriously, “You can’t like him. He already has soone in mind, she....”
The mont he was about to say Feng Tianlan, he couldn’t help but think of how brightly she’d smiled under the sun.
“What about her?”
Xi Jin snapped himself out of it and sat down in a nearby chair. He sipped so cooled tea and suppressed his impetuous mood. He said, “She’s the person the bounty mission is looking for. She’s the only one in Si Mobai’s heart. Don’t think of him. It’s absolutely never going to happen with him.”
“Feng Tianlan.” Thinking of sothing, Xi Lin sat down next to Xi Jin and leaned against the table. She looked at him and said, “Imperial Brother, Feng Tianlan is also from Guiyuan Continent. You’ve been there twice. Have you seen her before, or heard of her legend?”
Xi Jin suddenly thought of the first ti he’d t Feng Tianlan. There was a sinister-looking scar on her face and an overbearing air about her, and she was holding Tu Xiupei’s Dantian in her hand. At that ti, he spoke up to stop her because he intended to bring Tu Xiupei to Xuantian Continent.
He vaguely rembered that at that ti, she’d asked him if he’d eaten dumplings.
That was what she’d asked him, right?
“Have you eaten dumplings?” Xi Jin suddenly murmured. At the ti, he’d even asked her why she’d asked him that, and she’d said sothing to the effect that he was fair and delicate, so he’d probably eaten dumplings growing up.
Thinking back, this conversation seed sowhat ridiculous.
“Ugh!” Hearing the word “dumplings,” Xi Lin felt nauseated. She bent over the other side of the table and started to dry heave. Not only did she never want to eat dumplings again in this lifeti, but she also wanted to throw up at the re ntion of them.
Seeing her reaction, Xi Jin hurriedly reached out to gently pat her on the back. “Lin’er, what’s wrong with you?” he asked.
Xi Lin waved her hands and shook her head. She retched a couple more tis and took so tea to rinse out her mouth. Then, she took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth. She looked up at Xi Jin and said, “My brother, don’t ntion that word to in the future, and don’t ever eat such stuff again.”
“You’re saying...”
Xi Lin quickly raised her hand and interrupted him. “Don’t say it. I feel disgusted.”
“Why?” Xi Jin wondered. Why was Xi Lin acting so strange today?
“I heard today that there are people in the community who make the filling with dead mice. That’s why. My brother, you shouldn’t eat them anymore either.” It wasn’t the best explanation, but it was better than watching her Imperial Brother continue eating them.
Xi Jin looked at Xi Lin doubtfully, then finally nodded. “Very well,” he said. She rarely called him “my brother.” She would only call him that if she had a really important request.
Seeing how extrely disgusted she was by just the ntion of the word “dumplings,” he thought that he’d better not ntion them to her in the future. As for eating them, he’d just do it behind her back. After all, in the end, those were the ntos that Dai’er had left for him.
“Oh, that’s right.” Xi Lin cald down a little. “You still haven’t told what it felt like to et Feng Tianlan.”
