Chapter 381: Si Mobai’s Confession

Feng Tianlan shook her head and said, “Yunzhu, it’s nothing. Let me help him inside so he can rest.” The red patch between her eyebrows had been as caused by the natal contract. It would be fine after two days.

Luo Yunzhu stood aside, looking at the two of them as they went into the room. Now that they both had red skin dots their eyebrows, they looked even more like a couple.

Feng Tianlan helped Si Mobai lie down and fed him some water. He was a bit annoyed that he had to lie down right after regaining consciousness.

“How do you know about the natal contract?” Feng Tianlan asked and sat by the bed. The natal contract was very ancient. Initially, the agreement had only existed between humans and divine beasts. Later on, because the number of heavenly creatures had decreased (or some other reason), the contract was now forged between tow humans.

However, when a natal contract was signed between two humans, several harsh terms were involved.

The stronger party could not forcefully sign a single-sided natal contract with a weaker party. That would be a misuse of the deal because the weak party would die if the strong one did. Therefore, such a contract could not succeed without the more vulnerable party’s consent.

Another type was the one that Si Mobai had signed, where the stronger party forcefully agreed to a single-sided contract with the weaker party. However, this was a protection contract. Therefore, the weaker party’s consent was not required.

Si Mobai peered into Feng Tianlan’s beautiful face and replied, “Because I am not from the Guiyuan Continent.”

Hearing these words, Feng Tianlan’s heart clicked. She looked at Si Mobai in astonishment. He was not from the Guiyuan Continent?

“Did Si Ming come by when I was unconscious?”

“Yes,” Feng Tianlan said. Her vision was focused on the Zhusha dot on Si Mobai’s forehead again. His powerful spiritual force was sealed once again.

“Si Ming is not my father. He’s my subordinate.”

“Uh….” Feng Tianlan was stunned for a while. Finally, she muttered, “You don’t have to tell me anything more.”

This was his secret. He had no obligation to reveal it to her. He may have already entrusted her with too much.

Si Mobai reached out and took Feng Tianlan’s hands. “Lan’er, there are some things that even I do not know. I think you must have known that my Zhusha was a seal. Therefore, when we return to the city this time, I cannot be by your side all the time anymore.”

“Si Mobai.”

“There are a lot of things that I do not know. There are also some that I can’t say right now. Si Ming is not our emperor. He is a subordinate who serves us both.”

Feng Tianlan looked at Si Mobai. She was shocked by his words. Emperor Si Ming was just a subordinate? Then, what was his true identity?

“In the future, just go for it. No matter where I am, as long as you need me, I will instantly appear by your side.” This was why he’d signed the natal contract with her.

He had broken the seal once before. Even though it had been resealed, and the person who had unsealed it had been killed, he’d still been made vulnerable to detection by the opposition. Therefore, it wouldn’t do either of them much good if he were to continue staying by Feng Tianlan’s side.

He couldn’t protect Lan’er all the time. However, he could sense when her life was in danger and appear beside her. This would also be good for her training.

Feng Tianlan’s eyes sharpened. This matter was making her heart tremble. This was yet another reason why he’d signed the natal contract.

“Si Mobai, don’t treat me so well. I don’t deserve it.”

Feelings were not meant to be repaid. She couldn’t accept his goodwill so easily. If they were indeed in love, then they would make a double-sided pact rather than a single-sided one.

Right now, it was unfair to Si Mobai to give so much.

Si Mobai smiled faintly and stated, “I like you. If I am not good to you, then whom would I be good to?”

In this world, she was the only girl who could make his heart flutter. She was the only one who could affect his emotions. He was supposed to treat her well because she made him feel the joy of life.
