Chapter 376: 208, The First Confrontation Between Mo Xianxian and Tian Liuli_2
“Hmm, not bad.”
Mo Xianxian ignored Tian Liuli’s completely indifferent face, nodding and shaking her head as she wore a smile of reminiscence, “Just that it’s a bit scarce on the chili peppers.”
Tian Liuli gave her a cold glance.
Even Xu Yuan himself felt bewildered.
Mo Xianxian’s behavior was as if she had eaten his cooking before, leaving him utterly confused.
While the two of them were still harboring mutual suspicions, Mo Xianxian began to eat with great relish as if no one else was present, and soon, one side of a fat and fleshy stream fish had been devoured by her.
...
“Who are you? What brings you here? You claim to know my husband, yet my husband says he does not know you.”
Seeing that the fish was almost gone, Tian Liuli finally couldn’t sit still. Without a change in her demeanor, she raised her chopsticks, blocking the pair that Mo Xianxian intended to use to flip the fish.
This was bad.
Xu Yuan saw Mo Xianxian lazily lift her eyes, casually glancing at Tian Liuli with a smile, the arc of her smile widening wildly, and his heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
He remembered that what Mo Xianxian liked the least was for someone else’s things to come into contact with hers.
However, contrary to his expectations, Mo Xianxian simply gave Tian Liuli a cold, indifferent glance before turning her attention back to him, her voice infinitely tender, “How’s it been? Are you accustomed to living in Xunyang City? Has anything troublesome crossed your path?”
Tian Liuli’s face darkened, both from the way she was ignored and from the overly tender tone Mo Xianxian used.
“With me here, who could harm my husband?”
“Is that so?”
Mo Xianxian acted as if she had only just noticed Tian Liuli’s presence, her gaze falling on her, her tone icy, “But why do I remember that you two were driven out?”
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room turned utterly frigid.
The battle at Dawn City was one of the few defeats Liuli had suffered, and she had been brooding over her failure to protect him that day. Now that Mo Xianxian was deliberately bringing it up, it was tantamount to rubbing salt in her wounds.
“Alright, alright, a guest has arrived, let’s not talk about this, let’s eat first.”
Xu Yuan hurriedly stepped in to mediate.
If the two of them really started fighting, Tian Liuli would certainly be no match for Mo Xianxian; he would have to intervene to help.
He did not want to offend Mo Xianxian at this time.
“A guest? But who said a guest must be treated courteously? For a hostile guest, harsh words are necessary.”
Tian Liuli’s chopsticks still tightly clasped Mo Xianxian’s.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xianxian’s gaze turned icy.
Initially, she had thought to not make things too stiff on their first meeting, but it seemed someone didn’t appreciate that notion.
“...”
Xu Yuan’s expression stiffened, and he quickly changed the subject: “Speaking of which, lady, you say you know me, yet to my recollection, I do not remember you.”
“Let them fight, let them fight, it would be best if it ends with blood flowing like a river, so that I could benefit from their strife.”
Unfortunately, due to both of their Cultivation Realms,
Lin Qingque dared not to control them too openly with Heart Voice, and at most, she could only push things along from the shadows.
Tian Liuli opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something sharp, but hindered by the lack of words at her disposal, had to sit there, looking at her with darkened eyes.
“Miss Mo, it’s not very nice of you to speak so insultingly about my wife,”
Xu Yuan spoke up.
It was an excellent opportunity to score favor with Tian Liuli, and he certainly wasn’t going to let it slip by.
As for Mo Xianxian’s attitude, he wasn’t particularly worried.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t worried, but rather that worrying was futile.
As he had said before, he could grasp the moods of the other ‘yandere’ characters to some extent.
But Mo Xianxian was someone he just couldn’t predict.
The same situation could lead to different outcomes, merely due to a change in timing.
Therefore, it was better to focus on Tian Liuli instead of wasting efforts on her.
“...Master Xu is right,”
unexpectedly, Mo Xianxian didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled at him, then turned to Tian Liuli and said, “As for you... never mind, I’m not interested in your name, sorry, but I still have to remind you, a husband’s heart cannot be grasped by mere clutching.”
Tian Liuli’s face turned ugly, and she held Xu Yuan’s hand even more tightly.
The words of Mo Xianxian struck her like a sword at her vital spot, piercing the scales, hitting the mark, yet they were hard to argue against.
“Miss Mo misunderstood, this was my request,”
Seeing this, Xu Yuan hurriedly spoke again.
“Really?”
Mo Xianxian was first taken aback, then a meaningful smile appeared on her face; she glanced at Tian Liuli and said, “Then I shall take your word for it.”
Although he was defending her, for some reason, Tian Liuli felt not only no joy but even more irritated.
If it had been before, Mo Xianxian’s few words would have been like a fantasy tale to shake her Dao Heart.
For the previous her, whether the affection was genuine or feigned, it was enough as long as he stayed by her side.
But after spending these recent days together, she somehow felt that there was some truth in what the other party said.
Since she had no more obsession with returning to the Immortal Realm, perhaps her attitude towards Mr. Xu should also change?
