Chapter 8: It's Hard to Be Human

“Let go!”

The voice belonged to a woman! Fei'er looked up, and her gaze made Fei'er shudder! It was a kind of ruthlessness Fei'er had never seen before; the woman's sexy features appeared so terrifying, yet she was so young!

“Fei'er, quickly, give the bead to her! You—you can have anything, just don't make things difficult for my daughter!”

Fei'er's father spoke with a hoarse voice!

“Cut the nonsense. Tell your daughter to let go, quickly!” She clearly had very little patience to spare.

“Fei'er, let go quickly! Give her the bead!”

Fei'er's father said anxiously.

At this moment, Li Fei'er had no idea what they were talking about. Through the glass-like ceiling of the research institute, the meteor shower from that night could be seen clearly!

That meteor shower had begun at that very moment! It was that meteor shower that had tightly bound two worlds together.

The woman looked up; many stars were dancing across the sky like they were trailing tails, and her expression betrayed a deep sense of terror!

Fei'er wanted to let go now, but she couldn't; the blue light was growing brighter and brighter!

Fei'er began to cry in desperation.

“I can't let go! Papa, come quickly—”

Then came a chaotic medley of sounds—cries, shouts...

Everything was swallowed by the brilliant, dazzling blue light of that bead!

***

“Do you truly not know where that bead is?” the woman asked with total seriousness.

“Mm-mm, I truly don't know!” Fei'er blinked her large, innocent eyes.

The woman looked sideways at Fei'er, her charming yet cold, beautiful eyes swirling over Fei'er's body.

Fei'er thought: *Luckily I, Li Fei'er, am not a man. If I were, I guarantee I'd drag her to bed immediately and give her a harsh lesson to see if she'd submit!*

Watching Fei'er's contemplative expression, the woman felt a sense of great displeasure.

The more Fei'er thought about it, the better it felt, and an evil smirk couldn't help but curl at the corner of her mouth.

The woman was bewildered. *Why is she smiling so evilly all of a sudden? Could it be? She! She! She's secretly cursing me in her heart! Looking at her expression, it's quite obvious!*

The woman's face darkened, and she stared at Fei'er with extreme displeasure, as if she wanted to kill her with her eyes.

Fei'er felt a chill.

“I... I wasn't cursing you! Don't look at me like that.”

Having said that, Fei'er really wanted to slap herself. Didn't saying that just mean she had confessed without being caught!

She could clearly feel the woman's rekindled fury.

“You—you don't come any closer! Let's talk this out, talk it out properly!” Fei'er shrank into the corner in a most unseemly manner. She really wanted to give herself a slap; usually, she acted like she feared nothing in heaven or earth, so why was she acting like a grandson now?

“Hmph! Talk it out properly?”

A trace of a cold, almost imperceptible smile flickered in the woman's eyes, making her beautiful face appear even more striking. Under normal circumstances, Fei'er would certainly have admired such a worldly beauty, but now, Fei'er only hoped she would disappear quickly.

“Ye-yes, let's talk it out properly. As the saying goes, a gentleman acts with his mouth, not his hands! Don't use your size to bully the small, otherwise...” Fei'er's voice trembled slightly. She was afraid the woman would send her face-first into the dirt again. Pain was a small matter, but face was everything!

The woman's gaze shot toward her, piercing and sharp.

“Otherwise, what!”

“Otherwise, if people find out, it will ruin your lifelong reputation. You wouldn't want people saying you bully a helpless, weak woman, would you!” Fei'er said, calculating carefully.

The woman let out a cold laugh and averted her fiery gaze.

Fei'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart; she had really been scared to death just now!

“Weren't you saying we should talk it out properly? Why have you gone mute!” The woman looked sideways at Li Fei'er.

For a moment, Fei'er truly didn't know what to say. Then, a sudden idea struck her!

*Haha, I've got it! I finally thought of how to deal with this arrogant fellow! You wicked woman, I, Li Fei'er, curse you to never get married in your entire life,* Fei'er muttered silently to herself.

“Do you want to relive the feeling of being sent flying just now?” she said to Fei'er in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Ah! No, no, no, I don't!” Fei'er answered hurriedly.

“Then speak up! I don't have time to waste here with you!”

Her eyes glared wide, as if she wanted to grab Fei'er tightly until she suffocated!

Fei'er gave a bitter smile. Being a person is hard! Being Xiao Yuan is even harder! Being oneself is the hardest!

Once again, Fei'er chose to swallow her pride like a grandson! Heaven knows how furious Li Fei'er was at this moment!

“I'm asking you!” Fei'er looked at her tentatively.
