424: Zi Cheng’s Group of Three Returns

Sponsored Content

Only asking Jier and Feng Wu to join seemed poor manners, so he extended the invite to the rest of the group as well.

Unsurprisingly, Ming Xi, Yanran, Oleen, and Milty said they had other things to do, and refused the invitation.
In contrast, Ink agreed heartily.

They said their farewells at the gate and went to their respective dorms to wash up and rest.

Feng Wu held Xiao Ye in her arms as she opened the dorm room with her key.
It looked recently cleaned, probably because someone recently did some housekeeping.

Xi[notes] came down as soon as she heard the door open.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Feng Wu.

Annika had also returned earlier so the three girls sat, had tea, and ate snacks.

“Xiao Wu, how come you only returned now? Class starts in two days and everyone else returned earlier.
Only you and Jasmine weren’t back yet.
We couldn’t contact you so we were really worried.
I was afraid something had happened to you and you couldn’t return for some reason.”

Annika ate the snacks Feng Wu brought back from Bilou island happily.
The snacks were delicious – sweet, crispy, and fragrant.
Compliments!

“We went to a god’s tomb.” Feng Wu was like a little squirrel as she nibbled on her piece at a fever fast pace.

“God’s tomb! You mean the sea god that’s in all the gossip lately?! I heard it was dangerous and a lot of people died.
Why would you want to go to such a dangerous place?! Tell us everything that happened!” It was obvious Xi was very curious about what had happened to Feng Wu and her group.

Even though Feng Wu’s storytelling was as monotone as water dripping, the girls were nonetheless spellbound.

“Did you meet Jasmine inside the tomb?” Annika drank some more fruit tea after asking her question.

Feng Wu thought for a moment.
“We met once, but not again since then.” Feng Wu had gone through several king tombs, but had only run into Jasmine once in all that time.

“She’s probably OK right?” Annika was a little worried.

Though Jasmine had a bad attitude, was too competitive and arrogant, she and Annika had been close once because they were classmates.
Annika was the most worried about Jasmine not returning.

“She is OK, still alive.” Feng Wu said seriously.

Annika’s mouth twitched.
She was relieved, alive was good enough she supposed.

After chatting for a while longer, Xiao Wu took Little Bun out for Leo’s dinner.
She held him in her arms while Little White[notes] followed along behind them.

Leo, Ink, and Jier were already there and waiting, having been there ten minutes earlier.
They had already ordered from the menu.
Feng Wu was a little late because of her chat with the girls.

“Xiao Wu, come, sit down.
I ordered all your favorite dishes.” Jier waved her over.

Ink’s mouth twitched.
What favorite? Was there even anything Feng Wu didn’t like to eat? It wasn’t like she was a picky eater.

Leo didn’t pay them any mind and had the waiter serve the food up.
There was only four of them, but they somehow ordered twenty dishes.
These guys were determined to stock up on their food stores.

Feng Wu’s heart did a little skip.
Someone was staring at her viciously.
But she quickly ignored it when she didn’t see anyone after turning around to look.
Instead she sat down and focused on stuffing herself silly with the food in front of her.

In a private box where Feng Wu couldn’t see, Yifu was staring at her through a crack in the door.
She had wanted to find an opportunity to kill Feng Wu while in the tomb; sadly, she never got the chance.

Her group had encountered a huge crisis while in the tomb; fortunately they were rescued by a mysterious figure.
However, after rescuing them, the man remained on Feng Wu’s boat, which made Yifu very unhappy.
She didn’t like the idea such a strong person could be friendly with Feng Wu.

Yifu knew a lot of elusive people but the only reason any of them gave her any consideration was because they were giving Zi Cheng face.
If it wasn’t for Zi Cheng, none of them would have cared about the first daughter of the main wife of some small family.

She wasn’t jealous of Zi Cheng’s popularity but she was unwilling to lose to Feng Wu, who she looked down on.

Jasmine had survived the trip and was fortunate enough to come away with a legendary magic ring for water mages.
She had gotten it herself and wasn’t a gift from Zi Cheng.

Yifu got a legendary defense necklace from Zi Cheng, which she wore happily for several days.

As for Zi Cheng, she managed to snatch the crown from the sea god’s head.
It was semi-magical and it was amazing that she managed to get it from everyone else.

Most people who entered the tomb were lucky enough to leave the tomb with their lives, never mind magical items.
So, the fact that all three left with something was outstanding and would have made so many people envious.

“Yifu, what are you looking at?” Jasmine casually glanced in the direction Yifu was looking at.

“A nasty person.” Yifu said in disgust.

“Yifu, don’t be like this.
Feng Wu isn’t a bad person.
Why do you hate her so much?” Zi Cheng said helplessly.
She knew Yifu harbored strong animosity towards Feng Wu, but she didn’t understand why.

“I just can’t stand the way she pretends to be all innocent.
Look at her, hanging around all those guys all day long, pretending to be all pure.
It’s disgusting.” Yifu poured a glass of red wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Zi Cheng shook her head and looked at the glass in Yifu’s hand.

“Don’t drink so much.
We have to go back to school later.”

“Yes, of course.” Yifu obediently put down the glass.

“We’ll just have less contact with her since you don’t like her.
Don’t think of ways to plot against her.
We go to the same school.
If you harm her without just reason, the school could take action against you.” Zi Cheng coaxed softly.

Jasmine’s eyes darkened.
“Zi Cheng is right.
If you move on Feng Wu, it’ll only fall back on you.
It’s not worth it.”

“But I can’t let it go.
I don’t want to let her off the hook.
I want her dead.” Yifu made no secret about her desire to kill Feng Wu.

Yifu was never a big-hearted person.
If it weren’t for Zi Cheng’s god-defying favorability system, the friendship between the two girls would have ended as Zi Cheng became more popular.
But because of the absolute control the favorability system exerted, it was impossible for Yifu to think badly of Zi Cheng.
