Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Feng Mo Yue tilted her head. Her large eyes blinked innocently as if she truly didn't understand what he was talking about. "I don't know what you're talking about, Brother Ao Kuai."

"There's no one else but the four of us here." Nan Luo pulled the nearby chair. "There's no need for you to continue lying."

"I don't know what you're talking about, Young Master Nan." Feng Mo Yue bit her lower lips, looking like a little girl who was being bullied.

If not for the fact that three of them knew that she was acting, they would not try to question her harshly.

Nan Hua was not paying attention to them. She instead walked to the incense burner and opened the lid before putting the things on the table. There were several worm like animals squirming there.

Upon seeing that, Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows.

On the other hand, Feng Mo Yue's face changed. She looked at Nan Hua in disbelief. "How…?"

"Master taught me." Nan Hua turned around. "They won't die so easily since you provided enough nutrients for them to live. However, it's not going to trick doctors who had learned in Zhang Xu Kingdom."

As treacherous as it might be, these methods were not that uncommon in Zhang Xu Kingdom. It was also the reason why people were always wary whenever they were talking with people from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

If they accidentally offended someone who had knowledge of these parasites, they were dead meat.

1 out 1000 people in Zhang Xu Kingdom was someone who learned how to use these parasites and how to control them perfectly.

"I see."

Feng Mo Yue was silent. She looked at Feng Ao Kuai. "Are you going to report me?"

Her calmness even when her cover was blown baffled Nan Luo. He knew very well that if it was him, he would never be able to calm down so easily when he was facing someone else wo found out about his secret. Looking at the resolute gaze on Feng Mo Yue's eyes, he felt slight admiration for this ruthless woman.

Just slightly.

"Depends on your answer." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his younger cousin. In fact, he and Feng Mo Yue were around the same age and he was only a few months older than this girl. But he always saw himself as someone older than her.

Feng Mo Yue shook her head. "I'm not that desperate enough."

"Even though you know that your target will be taken by them?"

"Can they even take it?" There was a hint of disdain on Feng Mo Yue's voice when she talked about her cousin.

Nan Luo was looking at the young girl in front of him with chills. He couldn't believe that this was the same simple minded girl who was so stupid a few years ago when they came here. At that time, she was nothing more than a pampered young girl who was very impulsive and arrogant.

Within three years, all of the traces of her naivety and stupidity was wiped out.

It seemed that Feng Mo Yue didn't even think too much about her cousins. Aside from Feng Kang Xiang, it was indeed true that her other cousins were not as smart as her and certainly unable to take the benefit so easily.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at his cousin. "No more blood?"

"It's unnecessary." Feng Mo Yue was calm. Her eyes landed on the parasites that was placed on the table before turning her head to look at Nan Hua. There was a sneer on her mouth. "If I were to use it again, I'll die, right?"

Nan Hua stared back at Feng Mo Yue. "Your lifespan is more or less the same as your younger brother."

"Wait, that thing reduced lifespan?"

"Mhm."

Even though human's lifespan was not fixed, but with their insides wrecked so badly, it would be hard for them to live long. These estimation number was only the estimation of the time left for their organ to hold on despite their badly damaged states.

Not only that, it was certainly impossible for one to replace the organs in this period of time.

Nan Luo noticed that Feng Ao Kuai had already obtained the answer that he wanted. Even though Feng Mo Yue didn't say things clearly, it was obvious from her way of behaving that she would not use the same method she used to her step brothers to deal with her cousins.

She still had a bottom line in doing things.

"My turn." Nan Luo tapped the chair. "You do this much for him, but have you ever think that he might not want it?"

Feng Mo Yue was thinking that they were here to rat her out. Hearing Nan Luo's question, she was stunned. But right afterwards, she shrugged. "What makes you think that way?"

"You do things without asking for his opinion." Nan Luo was calm on the surface, but he was actually sweating buckets inside. He didn't know whether he would be able to get the answer that he wanted. "Do you really think that this is the best thing for him?"

"The best?" Feng Mo Yue let out a faint laugh. "How do you even know that it's the best when there's no other option?"

"Ah?"

Feng Mo Yue looked at Nan Luo as she could see Nan Hua stood not far behind Nan Luo. For some reason, she felt that the reason Nan Luo asked this question was because there was something that he didn't dare to ask Nan Hua.

But even if she thought that way, she didn't mind answering.

This same question had troubled her countless times in the past. Before she came to this decision and sacrificed almost everything, she had to repeatedly convince herself to make sure that her belief was not shaken.

"I don't need him to feel thankful for me. I don't need him to know about what I did. I do it because I want to and because I don't want him to end up like me." Feng Mo Yue's eyes gleamed. "What do you think I can do in the future aside from relying on my future husband? I don't have the ability to go against so many people, so I could only slowly influence things in my own way.

Being locked here with those people who only want to use me. Having to be faced with the reality that I can't even control my own fate…" Feng Mo Yue was silent for a moment. She had tasted despair when she saw that even her own father would not defend her.

Even though her father used to care for her so much when her mother was still alive. He was now treating her as if she was nothing more than a nuisance.

She longed for his affection.

But she was not stupid.

She only let herself be pampered by the people around her before because she could. Now that she was in this position, it was impossible. She repeatedly hoped but her hope was crushed with every step she took.

"I only live once and I want to fulfill my mother's request to me."
