Chapter 1623: Why Wouldn’t I Dare?
Feng Wu chuckled. “What can I do apart from record how you and Miss Zuo are here crouching on the ground and talking about framing other people? I was just playing the audio. You’ll soon be able to see the two of you on screen.”
Recorded…
Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu looked like they had been struck by lightning!
“Don’t tell me you have the Spiritual Fossil Stone! Where did you get that? I remember that we have one in the imperial vault, but that’s my father’s… ”
Crossing her hands behind her back, Feng Wu gave her a half-smile. “Is the imperial vault the only place that has a Spiritual Fossil Stone? Princess Sefiro gave me a lot of gifts to express her apology.”
Of course Jun Wuxia knew about Nightsnow apologizing to Feng Wu with precious gifts, so she believed that explanation.
“You!” Jun Wuxia glared at Feng Wu. “What do you want?!”
Talk about going for wool and coming home shorn — that was Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu’s situation now!
Jun Wuxia threw a dirty look at Zuo Qingyu and found the latter a complete idiot. The woman had promised that it was a foolproof plan, but now?!
Zuo Qingyu bit her lower lip, but her eyes darted around.
“Speak! What on earth do you want?!” Jun Wuxia stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu raised an eyebrow. “Princess Jun Wuxia, don’t you want to see yourself crouching on the ground? I can’t wait.”
“Shut up!” The thought of seeing herself crouching on the ground and speaking those words to Zuo Qingyu made her feel shamel beyond measure. “Tell me! What will it take for you to remove the images in the stone?!”
Crossing her hands behind her back, Feng Wu said, “But I don’t want to delete the recording.”
Jun Wuxia stared at Feng Wu. “Feng Wu, do you think you can threaten me with that thing?!”
Feng Wu nodded. “I can.”
It didn’t take a genius to imagine the damage it could do to Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu’s reputations.
“Fine! You win!” Jun Wuxia took a deep breath and fought down her rage.
Her father already wasn’t happy with her from what happened before, and had told her to stay in her tent to reflect on her misdeeds. If he heard how she had damaged the imperial family’s reputation again, he would definitely remove all her titles!
“Just say it. What do you want?!” The threat worked.
What she didn’t know was that Feng Wu had no such stone, nor had she recorded any images.
The two voices earlier had been by Little Phoenix.
The ability to mimic voices was a new skill Little Phoenix obtained after it woke up this time.
Feng Wu smiled at Jun Wuxia. “Slap yourself.”
Jun Wuxia asked, “What?”
Crossing her hands behind her back, Feng Wu smiled. “You and Zuo Qingyu, slap yourselves. Right now.”
Jun Wuxia stared at Feng Wu. “How dare you?!”
Feng Wu raised her chin proudly. “I said it, didn’t I? Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Jun Wuxia said, “You!”
Feng Wu said, “Fine, don’t slap yourself. I’ll play the recording and save my own reputation. As for you and Zuo Qingyu —”
Jun Wuxia was so angry that blue veins popped on her forehead.
But before she could make a decision, Zuo Qingyu moved first.
She slapped herself loudly.
