The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World

Chapter 309: Finally Understanding

Su Baifeng ran with Lian Fangcheng, but her speed was moderate. By the time she reached the courtyard door of Lian Fangcheng’s stone house, a large gust of wind blew in front of her. The terrifying black mass of wind made people feel afraid just by looking at it. Even if it did not reach her fully, just a small puff injured her. Even her face was not let off.

A couple of her followers were a little slow. They were blown away and then torn apart by the wind, letting out extremely tragic cries.

“Ah…”

Su Baifeng was scared out of her wits. With trembling legs, she still quickened her pace and followed Lian Fangcheng into the house.

Huangyi and the other subordinates also realized the severity of the matter. They dashed into the house with Su Baifeng. The slow-runners suffered quite a few injuries. Some had grievous injuries and were almost half dead.

Before everyone could get in, Lian Fangcheng shouted, “Quick, block the door and window. Quick, quick, quick…”

The wind this time was abnormally strong, at least ten times stronger than before. In the dark sky, the whistling was so loud that it was terrifying. The wooden boards rattled loudly, and several people had to press down hard to barely hold them in place.

Only when the door and window were blocked did Lian Fangcheng heave a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the scene just now, his heart was filled with fear and regret.

Had he known that the wind would be so terrifying this time, he would not have stopped to call Su Baifeng. He had suffered quite a few injuries, and some of his subordinates were wounded.

Towards his act of kindness, not only was Su Baifeng not grateful, but she did not even feel anything. After safely hiding in the stone room, she asked coldly, “What happened just now? Why was there such a powerful wind?”

Lian Fangcheng looked at the disheveled and cold Su Baifeng and felt that something was different. It was as if the goddess in his heart was no longer so perfect, no longer the number one beauty or talent.

In terms of beauty, Xue Fanxin was better than Su Baifeng.

In terms of talent, Xue Fanxin seemed to have won against Su Baifeng too.

Most importantly, Su Baifeng was not as gentle, graceful, and beautiful as the rumors had suggested. If not for Xue Fanxin exposing some things today, he did not know when he would really get to know her.

Noticing his lack of response, Su Baifeng got displeased. She said in a heavier tone, “I’m asking you a question! Answer me.”

To treat her savior like this, one could tell her character… Lian Fangcheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Then, he said indifferently, “What else can it be? It’s just the wind. This is a completely sealed space. The flow of time here is different from outside. Apart from the occasional lethal wind, there’s nothing to eat.”

“No food? What do you mean?” Su Baifeng had yet to hear the coldness in Lian Fangcheng’s words. Apart from that strange wind, she was resentful and jealous of Xue Fanxin. As a result, she did not spend any effort on Lian Fangcheng.

“It means that food is very important in this place. It’s okay if you’re only trapped for ten days or half a month. But if you get stuck for three to five months, or even a year, without food, you can only starve to death.”

“What did you say?” Su Baifeng recalled how she had asked Huangyi to distribute the food, then thought of how Xue Fanxin had mocked her, and how that young man had said that she was stupid… She finally understood the foolishness of her actions.

If she had no food and was trapped here for a long time, wouldn’t she starve to death?

So just now, although the four great families were praising her, they were actually mocking her in their hearts?

“Huangyi, how much food do we have left?”

“Miss, the people from the four great clans demanded too much. My food has already been distributed—”

Before Huangyi could finish, Su Baifeng roared, “You idiot.”

This was the last straw. Lian Fangcheng saw everything clearly. His mindset gradually changed, but he did not say much. He just waited quietly while treating his injuries. Then, he looked at the blocked window with extreme worry.

The wind was so sudden and powerful this time. He wondered how long it would last.

If not for Ye Jiushang’s reminder just now, how could they have run back to the stone house in time? Many people would have died.

But how did Ye Jiushang know about the sudden wind in advance?
