"Perhaps it was too dark, and Miss Feng did not get a clear look at your face."
After a long moment of thought, A'xi replied, "Your Highness the King of the Underworld, you are famously handsome. Even if she was scared, it must have been by how stunning you are!"
Si Jianye found her words reasonable and put down the bronze mirror.
Perhaps it was his overwhelmingly handsome face that made Feng Ninghe afraid to look.
In Xiyou Continent, anyone who dared to look at him for more than a few moments would inevitably fall under his spell.
This woman must be no different.
"Xin Xin, do you want Feng Ninghe to be your godmother?"
Si Jianye rose and walked towards Si Xinxin.
Si Xinxin's soft lips were still chewing, a hint of thought on her small face. She said crisply, "Why a godmother and not a birth mother?"
A godmother wasn't as sweet as a birth mother, was she?
Moreover, the beautiful elder sister was stunningly beautiful. Having someone so lovely as a mother would bring her honor.
Si Jianye paused, his deep gaze flickering with an unreadable expression. His male voice, when it came out, was slightly low, "But she has no intention of being your godmother, let alone anything more."
It was strange. A huge opportunity lay before her, yet Feng Ninghe was so hesitant.
Wasn't this woman always decisive?
What was she hesitating about?
"Father, leave this matter to me!"
Si Xinxin blinked her bright eyes, boldly reaching out and patting her small chest. A hint of determination was on her tender face, "With me here, there will be no surprises. I will definitely win over the beautiful elder sister to be my mother!"
She didn't want the beautiful elder sister to be a godmother! If she was to be one, she should be a birth mother!
Looking at the face that made such a solemn promise, Si Jianye felt reassured. He gently stroked Si Xinxin's tender cheek, "If you can get her to agree, you might just gain a godmother."
Even if it was just a godmother, not everyone had the chance to become Si Xinxin's mother.
The more Feng Ninghe refused, the more determined he became.
He wanted to see if Feng Ninghe could withstand the onslaught of Si Xinxin's soft and adorable charm.
A'xi, as if hearing something unbelievable, rubbed her eyes in disbelief and stared at the scene before her.
Countless women in Xiyou Continent wished to become Miss's birth mother, and then naturally climb into Si Jianye's bed.
But now, the King of the Underworld actually wanted Feng Ninghe to be Miss's godmother...
Could the King of the Underworld have finally found love?
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
A physician was treating Feng Tongtong's cheek.
In just one night, her face had become even more hideous. The wounds looked like bizarre, crawling centipedes.
"Doctor, is there any way to heal my face?"
Feng Tongtong looked at her unsightly face in the mirror with great worry.
The elders of the Feng family racked their brains and consulted books, finally concluding that without spiritual arts, she would have to wear a wig. The drawback was that the hair would easily fall out, and she had to be extremely careful with her movements. Even a strong gust of wind would be problematic.
As for her face, the elders were truly powerless.
The physician's expression was distressed, and he sighed, "Third Miss, my medical skills are insufficient. I truly cannot discern what has happened to your face."
Zhang Shi was equally anxious, asking impatiently, "How can you not tell?"
For young ladies, appearance was paramount.
Seeing Feng Tongtong's face in such a state caused her heart great pain.
The physician frowned, his facial features contorted in a tight knot. "There is nothing wrong with Third Miss's face. I truly cannot understand why it has become like this."
For Feng Tongtong's face, the Feng family had invited many renowned physicians from the Li Kingdom.
In just a few days, the number of physicians who came to the Feng family to treat her was countless. Each time a physician left, Zhang Shi would slip them a pile of spirit stones as hush money.
Feng Tongtong's matter had already become a widespread topic of gossip, and they did not want everyone to know that Feng Tongtong had been disfigured.
"How is that possible?"
Feng Tongtong was frantic. "That slut Feng Ninghe must have used sorcery to make my face like this! How can you not see anything?"
The physician sighed and shook his head.
Zhang Shi had no choice but to have the physician escorted away.
"Mother, why is Feng Ninghe living a life of ease while I have fallen into such a state? Is my face beyond repair?"
Tears welled up in Feng Tongtong's eyes. Her already hideous face became even more ravaged as she cried.
Zhang Shi quickly soothed her, "Your second sister will be returning soon. When she does, ask her to help and invite the Immortal Sect to assist. They will surely be able to heal you!"
These words instantly gave Feng Tongtong confidence.
Feng Ninghe's low-class tricks would be nothing in the eyes of the Immortal Sect.
With the help of the Immortal Sect, not only her face but also her hair would be reborn!
"Third Miss, the First Prince has arrived!"
Chun Tao rushed in and quickly reported.
Upon hearing that it was the First Prince, Feng Tongtong immediately stopped crying, her eyes instantly brightening. "The First Prince is finally willing to see me! Quickly! Dress me up beautifully!"
Chun Tao dared not delay and quickly began to help her with her makeup and attire.
News of the First Prince's arrival also reached Feng Ninghe's ears without delay.
Chi Xia did not forget to add the details, "The First Prince has also brought the wedding dress and jewelry that were custom-made recently. It seems this marriage is set."
Everyone was secretly waiting to see the show, to see if Baili Ye would ultimately marry Feng Tongtong.
Now, it appeared the marriage was unavoidable.
Old Man Xu munched on nuts and clicked his tongue, "Now that the Feng family's Third Miss has become like this, the First Prince is still willing to marry her."
"Baili Ye is ungrateful and values fame and fortune above all else. Naturally, he is unwilling to marry her."
Feng Ninghe smiled dismissively, her eyes showing contempt. "But the wedding date has been set. This marriage was personally decreed by the Emperor of Li. Now Baili Ye is in a dilemma. Even if he is unwilling, he must marry her."
Moreover, the affair between these two had become the talk of the town, leaving them no room to back out.
Not long after Chi Xia left, she hurried back again, "Eldest Miss, someone from the Bai family has arrived and wishes to see you."
Upon hearing that someone from the Bai family had arrived, Feng Ninghe's lips curved unconsciously. "Today is quite lively, with many visitors. Since that's the case, I shall go and see."
Old Man Xu, idle in the house and bored, became interested when he heard there was excitement to witness. He rose with her.
Baili Ye's arrival prompted Feng Guangyao to personally receive him.
No matter what had happened, this was still the First Prince, and he could not afford to offend him.
Feng Guangyao said with a fawning smile, "Your Highness the First Prince, Tongtong was disrespectful and presumptuous a few days ago. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and overlook her transgressions."
Baili Ye's eyes flickered, and a wave of annoyance washed over him.
His thumb had been bitten off, and he had tried everything to heal it without success.
How dare this slut bite off his finger!
To secure the Feng family's support in his bid for the position of Crown Prince, he had no choice but to suppress his irritation and remain calm.
"It's alright. I was also at fault for being so impatient. This matter is not Tongtong's fault."
Baili Ye feigned composure as he replied.
