Chapter 38: This Scoundrel
Xiao Yun asked, "Madam Feng, there are no outsiders here. If you have something to say, feel free to speak."
"Um," Luo Mingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao, actually, I... I came this time to deliver money and for my daughter..."
Xiao Yun had already guessed what the problem was. It seemed that the blood he had dripped onto that painting was having an effect. He leaned back slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he knowingly asked, "Is it that Feng Wushuang is experiencing some physical discomfort?"
Luo Mingyue replied, "Not really; it's just that her mind seems to have some issues. She keeps mumbling about... about her dream lover!"
As she spoke, she cast a probing glance at him.
Xiao Yun understood her meaning. She suspected that during the bone replacement process for her daughter, something had been done secretly that caused a significant change in her character.
He couldn't believe how effective that drop of blood had been. He had only seen in The Thirty-Six Techniques of Bone Painting that if one dripped their own blood while replacing someone's bones, it could make the person infatuated with them.
He chuckled to himself, imagining if he dripped a drop of his blood on every beautiful woman during Bone Painting and Bone Replacement, wouldn't all the beauties in the world start pursuing him?
However, this thought only flashed through Xiao Yun's mind; he couldn't bring himself to do something so unscrupulous.
Moreover, for a cultivator, blood is extremely precious, and he wouldn't casually waste it.
At that time, the reason he dripped that drop of blood on Feng Wushuang was due to his annoyance over the slap she had given him years ago. What was a star? The audience is your god; without their support, you are nothing.
"Madam Feng, I heard that Feng Wushuang's fiancé is Cheng Hu, and she agreed to this marriage. How could she suddenly say she has a dream lover?" Xiao Yun asked.
Luo Mingyue saw his serious expression while asking the question and felt uncertain inside. Looking at the innocent tone he used, could it be that my suspicions were wrong?
Originally, Feng Yue insisted on coming to Full City Fragrance herself, but was stopped by Luo Mingyue. She felt something was off with her daughter, and it definitely had to do with Xiao Yun.
Because of her suspicions about Xiao Yun, she decided to confront him herself. After all, she was a woman, and some things were easier to discuss. Even if it led to a confrontation, it wouldn't matter much.
"Uh, Mr. Xiao, I really don't know how to tell you this. Wushuang said her dream lover is... is..." For a moment, she didn't know how to express it.
Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "Just say what you need to say!"
Luo Mingyue hesitated again, but finally spoke up: "Wushuang said her dream lover is you, Mr. Xiao!"
"Ah, me?" Xiao Yun feigned confusion and shook his head. "How is that possible? We hardly have any interaction; how could she think of me as her lover? Madam Feng, you're making a huge joke here. If Cheng Hu finds out, won't he kill me? Forget it; it seems being a good person doesn't pay off. If we can't find common ground in our conversation, let's part ways!"
Xiao Yun pretended to be very angry and stood up to leave.
"Mr. Xiao, please don't go," Luo Mingyue said anxiously as she hurriedly stopped him. "I... I'm only telling you the truth."
She quickly added an explanation: "In Galaxy City, many people know that my daughter Wushuang is engaged to Cheng Hu. As her mother, how could I joke about my daughter's lifelong happiness? If I've said anything inappropriate, please forgive me!"
Xiao Yun coldly asked, "Then what do you mean by telling me all this?"
"Uh—" Luo Mingyue's eyes shifted, and she sighed, "My husband said that Mr. Xiao is a rare and extraordinary person. Can you think of a way to help my daughter? After all, our Feng Family is not an ordinary household, and if this gets out, it won't be pleasant. You know, these past few days, she has been insisting on finding you. I'm afraid if it becomes public, people will laugh at us, so I've kept her locked in her room!"
Xiao Yun could tell that Luo Mingyue's doubts about him had not been completely dispelled; the air of superiority typical of a high-society woman still revealed some sharpness in her words.
Like mother, like daughter; it seemed that Feng Wushuang's haughty personality was greatly influenced by this woman's upbringing.
Xiao Yun secretly chuckled to himself; this woman was indeed not simple! Since that's the case, I might as well play along.
"Madam Feng," Xiao Yun said frankly, his gaze lingering ambiguously on a certain part of her body as he grinned mischievously, "I can actually solve Wushuang's mental issue, but it depends on whether you can cooperate!"
Seeing him staring intently at the deep cleavage of her dress without any pretense, Luo Mingyue felt her face flush with heat and her heart raced. What does this lecher want to do?
She even regretted wearing such revealing clothes to meet Xiao Yun; who knew what kind of person he was?
Feeling anxious, Luo Mingyue hesitantly asked, "What... how do you want me to cooperate?"
"Hehe," Xiao Yun appeared calm and composed as he leaned closer to her, whispering, "Beautiful lady, all you need to do is spend one night with me!"
"What? No... that's not possible," Luo Mingyue's face instantly paled as she leaned back, quickly covering her chest with her delicate hands as if Xiao Yun were about to pounce on her and tear her clothes off.
She hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, I... I have a husband; you can't do this."
Xiao Yun took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and calmly replied, "Sister Mingyue, I should be able to call you by your name now instead of Madam Feng. As far as I know, Feng Yue is not your husband; he's just your biological brother, right?"
"Ah, how do you know that?" Luo Mingyue's mind buzzed, nearly causing her to collapse.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized it was inappropriate; wasn't this just admitting that she and Feng Yue were not in a marital relationship?
Luo Mingyue hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense. How could siblings marry each other and even have a daughter? Mr. Xiao, please watch your words and don't speak carelessly!"
Xiao Yun sighed, "I find it strange too. How did you two siblings become a couple? However, I also know that Feng Wushuang is not your biological daughter!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yun stood up, walked around the table, and stepped closer to Luo Mingyue. She had nowhere to retreat and found her back pressed against the wall.
Xiao Yun strode right in front of her, almost pressing his body against her soft chest.
"Mr. Xiao, you..."
Luo Mingyue felt a mix of shame and anger, panicking to the point where she wished she could embed herself into the wall. Her face turned crimson, and she opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words.
At that moment, Luo Mingyue was truly flustered and terrified, wondering who this scoundrel was and how he had figured out the relationship between her and Feng Yue.
If this got out, the Feng Family in Galaxy City would be completely finished...
What... what should I do?
