Chapter 5049 — They Finally Came for Her
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Once inside the apartment building, Sun Baimei and Fei Yangsheng made straight for Leng Leng's room without the slightest hesitation. In the next room, Wei Zhao quietly observed it all through his divine sense, secretly making his preparations.
Wei Zhao had already deduced that the two had been drawn here by Leng Leng, but given their previous clash, he could not help worrying that his own identity might be exposed. If that happened, his prospects today would be truly grim. As things stood now, though, he was in the shadows and had far more room to maneuver—he would not be left entirely on the defensive.
More importantly, this sudden accident had handed him an opportunity—an opportunity to find out just who these Heaven Dao stage experts were and what they wanted!
If his guess was right, Leng Leng and these two must come from the same place, and most likely knew each other. In that case, as long as he could hear their conversation clearly, with a bit of luck he might just obtain the answer to the riddle outright.
Sure enough, after Sun Baimei and Fei Yangsheng forced their way into Leng Leng's room, they did not attack. Instead, a look of unexpected delight surfaced on their faces!
"So it really is you. We meet again, Miss Leng," Sun Baimei said with a cold chuckle.
Fei Yangsheng said nothing, but he quietly circled around behind Leng Leng and blocked her retreat. The two of them closed her in, one in front and one behind—plainly they had not come with good intentions.
This development caught Wei Zhao somewhat off guard. He had guessed that the two sides most likely knew each other, but he had never imagined the relationship would be one of irreconcilable hostility. Judging by this stance, Leng Leng had clearly crossed swords with these two before as well.
"Sun Baimei, I haven't settled the score with you for wounding me last time, and now you want to silence me for good?" Leng Leng watched their every move warily. Because she had just forcibly cut off her healing, striking out rashly would very likely invite a backlash, so she had to find a way to buy time and recover her condition. Otherwise she would already have fled.
"No, no, I've never once thought of silencing anyone. You know how I feel about you, Miss Leng. I only want to win the fair lady for myself. After all the years I've spent pursuing you with a heart full of devotion, won't you show me even a little something in return?" Sun Baimei said, feigning deep feeling.
"A heart full of devotion? You shameless wretch, the hide on you is thick indeed. The moment you happened to glimpse the treasure my master gave me, you began to covet it and wanted to kill me—and that counts as devotion?" Leng Leng said with a scoff.
Speaking of it made her regretful. Sun Baimei had pursued her for many years, and though she had never felt the slightest thing for him, this time, out training in the mortal world, she had unwittingly let down her guard—enough that he had caught a glimpse of her treasure. That was what had brought the murderous pursuit down on her. If she had not fled quickly, she would already be dead.
"Miss Leng misunderstands me. Have you never heard the saying, 'Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog'? Once you become my cultivation partner, what's yours is naturally mine. That item might as well be kept in my keeping—wouldn't that be all the safer? What do you say?" Sun Baimei said, his face utterly earnest.
"I would rather die than be your cultivation partner. Put that hope out of your head," Leng Leng said in a low voice.
