Chapter 6: 6.第6章 ：少废话

“Ah! I mean, we are sort of fellow countrymen after all, being so far away from home...”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

She reverted to the same tone she had used when they had just broken ties.

Fei'er was utterly defeated by her! She had to know that her smile used to be very lethal! This definitely wasn't because of her!

Fei'er was confused. She had transmigrated into Xiao Yuan's body; logically, no one should know who she was. How could this woman recognize her? Furthermore, why was she still in her original body, while she herself...

The woman seemed to see through Fei'er's confusion, wearing an expression of all-knowing arrogance!

Fei'er was very annoyed. If it weren't for the fact that the woman was very powerful and she was no match for her, Fei'er would have definitely tied her to a stone and thrown her into the lake to feed the fish! Facing a god-like opponent, Fei'er was still very sensible!

“I know you have many questions. Don't ask me. I don't want to say another word to someone as obnoxious as you!”

“How am I obnoxious?”

Fei'er blurted it out without thinking, then immediately covered her mouth. Heavens! What did I just say? How could I say that!

The woman's face darkened slightly with anger as she looked Fei'er in the eye, emphasizing every word

“Don't you think you look very obnoxious? You did before, and even more so now!”

Fei'er's face turned red from holding back her frustration. Was she really that obnoxious looking? Her parents praised her for being cute every single day! Fei'er shot her a glance. The woman didn't look much better herself!

She was just a bit more charming and had a slightly more sexy figure. Was it really necessary to slander someone like this? Also, something Fei'er was very unwilling to admit and very unwilling to accept—the woman seemed to be half a head taller than her! One had to know that Xiao Yuan was not short!

Fei'er frowned. No wonder there was always a sense of oppression when speaking to her!

“I don't want to waste words with you. Give me the bead, and I promise I won't come looking for you again, letting you live out your happy days as Empress in peace!”

Fei'er felt like vomiting! What happy days? Anyone who wants to be Empress can have her. Li Fei'er certainly didn't want to be the Empress of that scumbag man. Just seeing him made her feel disgusted.

Seeing that Fei'er remained silent and looked very displeased, the woman grew puzzled.

“Is it not good? That Emperor of Northern Ming is quite a talented man, a husband that countless women in the world dream of! You've struck it rich!”

What did she mean by that!

Fei'er pondered in her heart! Was I, Li Fei'er, that bad? Or was Xiao Yuan that bad? It seemed Xiao Yuan was many times more beautiful than her!

“Hmph! Is he really that good? He's just average. It's not like I haven't seen him. He's not as good as you say! If you think he's so great, then you should marry him. Seeing how you're so...”

Fei'er quickly took several steps back and covered her neck.

“What are you doing? I was just joking. Don't grab my neck and throw me, it hurts!”

Fei'er averted her gaze from the woman. For some reason, Fei'er felt uncomfortable all over; the woman's gaze was too lethal.

If she looked at a child like that, Fei'er estimated the child would be scared unconscious!

“Hmph, if you don't want to be thrown, you can just give me the bead!”

“If you don't want to be thrown, just give me that bead!” she said indifferently.

Fei'er broke into a cold sweat. How did she know where the bead was? But after that fall just now, Fei'er had learned her lesson; after chatting with her for a long time, she had somewhat understood her temperament!

“Good sister, you are so powerful that even you can't find it. How could a weak woman like me, who is both obnoxious-looking and knows no martial arts, possibly find it? You are a person of great magnanimity, so please stop making things difficult for me!” Having said that, she desperately tried to squeeze out a few tears.

This woman was a typical case of "yielding to softness but not to hardness"! Fei'er had already categorized her in her mind. Looking at the woman's slightly softened expression, Fei'er made up her mind to coax her away first.

“Hmph! Do you take me for a fool? The bead is right there with you!” Her expression seemed to say that the fact that the bead was with Li Fei'er was an ironclad truth!

Fei'er had the urge to bang her head against a wall. How could she be so certain the bead was with me!

“I really don't have it! That bead is truly not with me!” Fei'er gave a bitter smile. Why was she so difficult to deal with? She was simply being unreasonable!

“Do you think I'll believe you? Do you know how miserably you've made me suffer? I am desperately trying to escape from this world, yet you are desperately refusing to let go, pulling me back in! Tell me, how am I supposed to get revenge on you?” She spoke extremely calmly, but her fury was not to be underestimated.

“I swear to heaven, that bead really isn't with me. If I, Li Fei'er, am lying to you, then let me...”

Fei'er raised her hand, wanting to make a solemn oath.

“Save your act. People from your world might not be good at anything else, but you are certainly experts at making empty vows of eternal love! Swearing to heaven is useless.” She coldly interrupted Fei'er's oath.

Fei'er was completely defeated. How could she be like this!

“I really am not lying to you, why won't you believe me?” Fei'er explained to her anxiously.

But the woman seemed completely indifferent, having no intention of believing Li Fei'er at all.

“Put away your act. Don't dream that I'll believe you. Hurry up and give me the bead, and from now on, you go your way and I'll go mine! We shall have nothing to do with each other!”

In the woman's eyes, Li Fei'er was merely being argumentative!

Fei'er fell silent, wanting to both cry and laugh!

“I'll say it one more time. I really am not lying to you. The bead is truly not with me, and I don't know where it is!” Fei'er said with extreme seriousness.

Her words also left Fei'er puzzled!

It was as if she had belonged to this world before! And for some reason, she had arrived in their world. Fei'er speculated with a deep frown.

Her thoughts couldn't help but return to the night they first arrived!

The night was heavy, and the bustling streets and hurrying pedestrians had mostly settled into rest. Yet, a cultural relics research institute located on the outskirts of BT City was brightly lit. In the spacious hall, some old books and implements were placed, their antiquity faintly visible through the light; the mottled marks left behind seemed to occasionally carry the heavy sigh of the passing years. The boundary of time was so clear here.

A middle-aged professor was intently hunched over a desk writing a report, the tip of his pen moving rapidly, occasionally producing a pleasant rustling sound. One could imagine the preciousness of what was being written by that fast-moving pen!

Opposite him, a girl sat with her head drooping, looking half-asleep!

“Daddy, stop writing, let's go home to eat! Mommy has been waiting for us for a long time.” This was Li Fei'er.

The man stopped his pen and gave Fei'er a kind smile

“Be good, Fei'er. Wait just a little longer, Daddy will be finished soon!”

Fei'er pouted unhappily, looking as if she were about to cry!

“Daddy, stop writing, let's go home!” Fei'er said persistently. Heaven knows how much Li Fei'er wanted to sprout wings and fly back right then. One had to know that today, Fei'er's mommy had made a table full of delicious food specifically to celebrate Fei'er's birthday.

Thinking about it made Fei'er feel sad. It was her birthday, after all; how could this dad have no reaction at all, completely forgetting what day it was?

“Daddy, what day is it today?” Fei'er said with a dark face, her mind full of displeasure. If he even forgot his own daughter's birthday, how could he have the face to be her father!

“Hmph, if you don't know today, I, Li Fei'er, will make you lose face.” Fei'er was calculating in her heart, but she still hoped he could say what day it was.

Fei'er's father paused his pen and looked at Fei'er with a confused expression

“What day is it today?”

As soon as these words came out, Fei'er faced a breakdown. He! He! He! Had really forgotten. Fei'er's anger rose higher and higher.

Fei'er's father was a smart man; looking at Fei'er's expression, he became thoughtful.
