Mu Yan suddenly asked Sakurin, "I heard you fought that Feng Wu earlier?"
Feng Wu's stomach lurched! They were talking about her! She had to listen carefully. Feng Wu pricked up her ears. Mu Yan and Sakurin walked away as they talked, and Feng Wu followed them. The two young women didn't notice Feng Wu.
Sakurin said, "Yes, I've met that Feng Wu."
Mu Yan sat down and gestured for Sakurin to sit down beside her. She then asked in a seemingly casual tone, "I heard Feng Wu is very pretty?"
Feng Wu couldn't help but glance at Mu Yan. She then looked at Sakurin. She was curious about what other people thought about her. Her mother was the most beautiful woman in the Junwu Empire, so she was very confident in her own beauty.
However, Sakurin seemed to be describing a different person. Sakurin smirked. "Pretty? I don't think so."
Mu Yan's eyes lit up. "She's not?"
Sakurin said grimly, "No, she's not pretty at all. I don't think she's that different from every other human being." Of course, Sakurin hated Feng Wu. After Feng Wu defeated her, Sakurin fetched Fuhara to help her, but Fuhara was killed by Feng Wu in the end. Sakurin hated Feng Wu to the bone. She could never view Feng Wu in an objective way.
"I see." Mu Yan was relieved.
Sakurin said, "She's nowhere near as pretty as you." She wanted to work for Mu Yan. Seeing the latter feeling threatened by Feng Wu's beauty, Sakurin began to slander Feng Wu.
Truth or not, Mu Yan liked what she heard. "You flatter me." Mu Yan shook her head. "There's no need to say such nice things about me. I know I'm the prettiest person only in the Dongsang Kingdom."
Sakurin didn't know what to say.
Mu Yan asked, "I heard Feng Wu is very capable. Is that true?"
Sakurin couldn't bring herself to tell Mu Yan that she was indeed the prettiest person in the Dongsang Kingdom. Hearing the question, she was glad to change the subject. "Who told you that? That's such an overstatement."
Mu Yan was pleased, but she still feigned a surprised tone. "Is that not true?"
Sakurin said, "Of course not! Feng Wu is only a Level 2 Spiritual King!"
Mu Yan said, "I heard she won battles in the junior arena."
Sakurin said, "Well... Well, that's because all our capable people are here, guarding the Immortal Spiritual Fruit." In fact, the Dongsang Kingdom had been watching the tree for a while. Night Owl was bold enough to fight to the death because he knew what the fruit could do. Fearing that Mu Yan wouldn't believe her, Sakurin said, "Lord Pan has the best Level 3 and Level 4 Spiritual Kings in our kingdom. Any of them can kick Feng Wu's ass!"
Feng Wu stared at Sakurin in astonishment. Was she serious?
