Seeing her approach the side of the bed, Si Mobai rolled over and got up. Reaching out to rest his hand on her head, he said, “In the future, if I’m not around, you’re not allowed to wash your hair at night.”

“Why not?” Feng Tianlan asked, puzzled, as the hand above her head released Spiritual Force and slowly dried her dripping wet hair.

Si Mobai used his Spiritual Force to dry her hair and carefully untangle a few strands that were knotted. “There’ll be no one to help you tidy your hair,” he explained.

“I have Azurite.”

Si Mobai’s voice immediately turned cold. “That won’t do.”

“Why not?” Feng Tianlan was even more puzzled.

“It’s fine in the day, but not at night. What if the animal in her comes out?” Si Mobai was being really cautious about everything.

The corners of Feng Tianlan’s lips twitched. “You’re being overprotective,” she remarked. Considering that Azurite was very timid and even more loyal to Mobai than she was, it wasn’t likely at all that she’d dare to lay a hand on Mobai’s beloved woman.

Si Mobai harrumphed softly. “Look at what happened just now. You even had to tell her to put her clothes back on. Just how far did she disrobe in front of you? Would you like me to demonstrate it for you again?”

“All right, fine. In the future, if you’re not around, I won’t wash my hair at night.” She was only just beginning to realize that Mobai was a man who didn’t let go of grudges.

After tidying her hair, Si Mobai scooped her up in his arms and gently laid her on the bed before climbing in himself. Pressing his body against hers, he lay on his side and said, “Lan’er, don’t you plan on giving me an explanation?”

In the time that he’d been absent, she had seduced so many young, beautiful women.

Feng Tianlan explained simply, “I suddenly appeared in the Shi Family’s Secret Realm and got to know Shi Yiqing and the others. Later on, we returned to Lin’an City and were chased by an assassin. We were separated, and the assassin went after them. When I came across them being chased by the assassin in Kaiyang City, I decided to save them, since I was the cause of it to begin with. After that, what happened is what you saw.”

Since he needed an explanation, she gave it. She didn’t want to insist that certain things didn’t need explaining, thereby leading to misunderstandings between them.

“That’s all?” Si Mobai raised an eyebrow.

Feng Tianlan hummed her assent. “I could count on one hand the number of words we exchanged from the time I saved her until we reached the outskirts. I never expected her to be…”

At the thought of what Chen Xinyi had said at the western outskirts, her lips couldn’t help but twitch. “I really didn’t seduce her. I’m in a love with a man called Si Mobai. Why would I seduce a woman?”

She found Chen Xinyi’s liking for her absolutely bizarre.

She was in love with a man named Si Mobai!

Her declaration instantly smoothed Si Mobai’s ruffled feathers. When everything else failed, this declaration worked like magic.

“There’s still that other person. Why did she say that the toad Lan’er eats swan meat?” He had secretly followed them and heard some unpleasant things.

Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at him. “Are you referring to Chen Xinlu?” she asked.

“I don’t know her.” There was no need for him to know any other women other than herself, much less spare them a glance.

Feng Tianlan felt incredibly helpless at the thought that they didn’t believe her. “This is what happened. I was still dressed as a woman then. She thought I had my eye on Shi Yiqing and gave me a warning. So, I told her that my fiancé was Si Mobai. As a result, I was laughed at. Mei’er, Xiao Xiao, and the others also didn’t believe me at first.”

“Set your sights on Shi Yiqiang?” Si Mobai eyes narrowed dangerously and he lowered his head and approached Feng Tianlan. “Lan’er, you’d better not have attracted some young man while dressed as a woman!”

Other than he, who was perfect, all the others could be d*mned! He’d exterminate anyone who came near her.

“Uh…” His jealousy had clearly been roused again, and Lan’er could only reply helplessly, “Well, what can I do? I’m so pretty that all sorts of suitors come knocking at my door without me doing anything.”
