1909: Offense Is the Best Defense

Offense Is the Best Defense

After Ranmil saved Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo, the two girls became her loyal fans.2

They hadn't taken Ranmil's side at first, but they disliked Feng Wu so much, and not only was Ranmil awesome, she was Feng Wu's enemy as well.

Since the enemy's enemy was a friend, Dugu Yamo and Feng Liu immediately took Ranmil's side.

Feng Wu said with a half-smile, "So, why did I use such a trick on you? Princess Ranmil, aren't you going to tell the whole story?"

The others had expected Feng Wu to deny it, but she admitted it right away.

Feng Liu stared at Feng Wu. "Feng Wu, you admitted it! You admitted that you had evil intentions toward Princess Ranmil! You're so mean!"

Dugu Yamo pointed at Feng Wu as well. "You're such a horrible person! How could you do such a thing? Do you even have a heart?!"

Feng Wu acted as if Feng Liu and Dugu Yamo weren't there. Her gaze was fixed on Ranmil.

Ranmil was very good at pretending to be something she wasn't, and of course she wasn't going to show her real self now.

Tears welled up in her clear, bright eyes, and she spoke in a pitiful tone.

"That's also what I wanted to ask. Princess Feng Wu, why did you do that to me?"

That accusation immediately put Feng Wu in a very disadvantageous position.

The second prince played with his fan and watched this with a half-smile on his face.

Things were getting very interesting.

He wanted to see how Feng Wu would get herself out of this.

Ranmil asked in an aggrieved voice, "Princess Feng Wu, do you want to kill me just because I complimented His Royal Highness?"

WHAT?!

Just because Ranmil complimented His Royal Highness?

Ranmil sobbed, and she looked as lovely as a fawn.

She then said, "But His Royal Highness is so talented and there's no one else like him. Isn't it normal for me to compliment him?"

Feng Liu and the others all nodded. "That's right. It would be very strange if someone doesn't compliment His Royal Highness!"

Ranmil pointed at Feng Wu and said, "I know Young Lord Feng has said that you're the crown prince's future wife and the future empress of the empire. Can't you even tolerate other people's compliments?"

Ranmil's crying face already made the others feel sympathetic toward her. Since she had saved them just then, they were naturally all on her side.

Feng Liu smirked and said, "Princess Ranmil, you've only pointed out half of it!"

The others all turned to look at her.

Feng Liu stared at Feng Wu with a malicious look in her eyes. "Although you only complimented His Royal Highness, she already considers you her love rival!

"You're more prestigious and capable than her, and you're from a powerful sect. You also have a more pleasant personality… In a word, you're better than her in every way. Of course she's jealous of you! She's worried that you'll win His Royal Highness's heart, which is why she tried to kill you! That was her motive! Feng Wu, I'm right, aren't I?!"

All eyes were on Feng Wu now.
