"Oh, you still know I'm your cousin," Feng Huo said, patting Yun Shunian's shoulder with a teasing tone.
Yun Shunjian turned away, not wanting to deal with him.
As soon as Yun Shunjian turned around with Feng Huo, the dark energy in Zhaoxue's phoenix eyes vanished. However, when her gaze fell on Feng Huo's hand on Yun Shunjian's shoulder, the dark energy that appeared in her phoenix eyes still faintly flickered.
Fortunately, Feng Huo was complaining to Yun Shunjian at the moment, and Yun Shunjian had already turned her head, so no one noticed Zhaoxue's abnormality.
Zhaoxue slightly cupped his hands, "Good afternoon, Feng Huo Hall. If there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs to rest first."
Feng Huo waved his hand dismissively.
Yun Shunjian had already turned her head. Her gaze was fixed on Zhaoxue, unable to move.
As Zhaoxue's footsteps faded away, Yun Shunjian reluctantly withdrew her gaze and turned to find that her cousin Feng Huo was frowning slightly as he looked at the spot where Zhaoxue had left, appearing even more infatuated than she was.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Yun Shunjian's hand pressed on Feng Huo's head, forcing him to turn his head.
"Nothing," Feng Huo's eyebrows relaxed, and his tone was vague.
"What's wrong?" Yun Shunjian suddenly felt agitated, her tone a little sharp.
"Why the rush? Do you like him?" Feng Huo raised an eyebrow and then teased Yun Shunjian.
Yun Shunjian was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her voice instantly softened, "You... you're talking nonsense!"
As soon as Yun Shunjian finished speaking, before Feng Huo could say anything else, she turned and went upstairs.
Seeing Yun Shunjian go upstairs, the smile on Feng Huo's face gradually disappeared. The fingers behind his back moved, and soon a man in fiery red appeared before him.
"Master."
The man had a delicate and handsome appearance. As soon as he saw Feng Huo, his gentle apricot eyes seemed to ripple with fervent waves.
"Yu Ji, did you notice anything unusual about that person just now?"
Yu Ji answered quickly, not letting Feng Huo finish his sentence, "No, wasn't it just an ordinary little immortal?"
"You, you, I don't know if you were paying attention." Feng Huo lightly tapped Yu Ji's forehead. Yu Ji showed no displeasure; instead, the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.
"I always feel that person is not that simple..."
Feng Huo murmured to himself, recalling the feeling of inexplicable pressure he felt from Zhaoxue's polite demeanor. He felt increasingly uneasy.
No, he had to find more opportunities to observe him.
Thinking this, Feng Huo strode upstairs and knocked on Yun Shunjian's door.
Coincidentally, a waiter carrying tea and corn cakes happened to follow Feng Huo up the stairs. Halfway up, a gust of wind made the waiter's robe bulge like a large bag.
The waiter stopped and looked around suspiciously. Seeing that there was no one around, he felt as if a heavy stone had been dropped into his heart.
"This is not a windy place."
The waiter said this very softly. Yu Ji's ears twitched, and he guiltily touched his nose.
"What is it?" A slightly annoyed voice came from inside.
"What are you doing?" Yun Shunjian had just opened her eyes a sliver. Seeing Feng Huo in front of her, she immediately closed them again.
Immortals generally did not need to sleep, but Yun Shunjian of the Nine Heavens had developed a habit, or rather, made sleeping a hobby.
In any case, it was not because she was lazy (`へ´*)ノ.
"So dissatisfied? If Zhaoxue had knocked on your door, would you have treated him like this?" Feng Huo leaned against the door with his arms crossed, looking at Yun Shunjian's lazy appearance.
Zhaoxue?!!
Yun Shunjian instantly woke up, her eyes widened. She looked outside but couldn't find Zhaoxue. Yun Shunjian raised her fist and punched Feng Huo in the face.
However, halfway through the punch, it was blocked.
"Who are you?" Yun Shunjian looked at the fair-skinned young man in red in front of her, her heart filled with confusion.
"Are you alright?" Before the fair-skinned young man could answer, Feng Huo stepped in front of Yun Shunjian.
"Master, I'm fine." After Feng Huo caressed Yu Ji's hair to confirm he was unharmed, his expression returned to its usual composure.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future. She won't hurt me."
Yu Ji nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Feng Huo, who is this?" Yun Shunjian, sensing an unusual atmosphere, tentatively asked.
"This is the spirit beast I took in a few days ago, named Yu Ji."
"Oh." Yun Shunjian nodded, thinking that Feng Huo had always been indifferent to spirit beasts. He preferred flowers and plants.
Could Yu Ji's original form be a plant?
Yun Shunjian was full of questions, and the drowsiness caused by her relaxation interrupted her thoughts.
"Little phoenix, how about I help you pursue Zhaoxue?"
Yun Shunjian, groggily, echoed Feng Huo, "Pursue Zhaoxue?"
"Don't you like Zhaoxue?" Unknowingly, Feng Huo had moved in front of Yu Ji.
"Like... I like Zhaoxue." Yun Shunjian suddenly regained her senses.
This time, Yun Shunjian did not argue further. She glanced at Feng Huo shyly and expectantly before quickly looking away.
"Oh, you really like him?"
"Feng Huo!" Meeting Feng Huo's teasing gaze, Yun Shunjian put her hands on her hips in embarrassment and anger.
"Alright, alright. The major life event of a little phoenix, I must help!" Feng Huo knew it was not appropriate to push too hard, so he quickly became serious.
Thus, Feng Huo, along with Yu Ji, went to Yun Shunjian's room to discuss a plan for her.
"Cough, cough, first of all, as the saying goes, a woman pursuing a man is like breaking through a layer of gauze. So, the little phoenix must be proactive. Proactivity leads to stories!" Sudan Novel Network
Yun Shunjian's voice was soft. When it came to Zhaoxue, she was like a different person. "How to be proactive?"
"Help!"
Hearing Feng Huo say this, Yun Shunjian immediately responded, "Of course, I will definitely help Zhaoxue."
"No. I'm not asking you to help him, but to let him help you." Feng Huo stopped pacing back and forth and explained to Yun Shunjian carefully.
Yun Shunjian was too young and had too few cases to learn from. "Help me? Help me with what?"
Feng Huo cleared his throat and was about to explain in detail when he stopped involuntarily as he walked in front of Feng Huo.
