Marshal, Please Calm Down (MARSHAL)
A lady and a gentleman have an appointment. To showcase the gentleman's chivalry, no matter how late the lady is, the gentleman cannot express any dissatisfaction and must smile and say he doesn't mind her tardiness.
This fallacy somehow became a truth in Feng Yan'er’s mind. Whenever she has an appointment with a man, she will be at least half an hour late, and the most outrageous time, she showed up a full three hours late.
At that time, although the gentleman was smiling, anyone with discerning eyes could see the gritted teeth behind that smile. Only Feng Yan'er remained oblivious and still thought that being just a little late was already showing him respect.
If it weren't for the Feng family's slight influence, this reckless girl would have been dealt with long ago.
However, the gentleman who had an appointment with Feng Yan'er today wouldn't care about the Feng family's status.
Due to her father's admonition, and considering that Xuanyuan Chengtian was, after all, the legitimate young master of the Xuanyuan family, Feng Yan'er thought it over and decided to give the Xuanyuan family some face, so this time she would only be half an hour late.
However, she believed that by giving Xuanyuan Chengtian face, she should be treated with the utmost courtesy upon her arrival. Unfortunately, Wu Zimo and the others had no such intentions.
Seeing that the time had come and the person was still missing, the three gentlemen without a hint of concern, began to eat. Especially the Marshal, who would never let his lover go hungry waiting for someone who was not important at all.
So when Feng Yan'er expected to see a gentlemanly smile while waiting for her, she was instead met with the sight of dishes being ignored as they were being eaten. This proud young lady from the Feng family was understandably furious.
“Xuanyuan Chengtian!”
A sharp female scream came from the side that nearly startled Wu Zimo into dropping his chopsticks. Seeing Wu Zimo startled, Scott's expression immediately soured and frown as he turned to look in the direction of the voice.
As for the one being yelled at, Xuanyuan Chengtian appeared very calm. He had long been accustomed to this piercing voice of Miss Feng Yan'er.
Wu Zimo put down his chopsticks and turned to see a woman dressed somewhat, um, revealing, while glaring at them with fierce eyes.
What startled Wu Zimo the most was that if she kept breathing like that, the fabric covering her chest would soon burst and let her "big white rabbit" pop out.
To be honest, if Feng Yan'er had remained quiet and sat still, her appearance could indeed be quite deceiving.
Because the Feng family valued the Huaxia bloodline, Feng Yan'er was a very exquisite beauty, elegant and demure like a Jiangnan woman, a delicate flower.
But once she opened her mouth, all her grace and softness turned to dust.
Xuanyuan Chengtian also put down his chopsticks before elegantly wiped his lips with a napkin, and then stood up to address the furious Feng Yan'er, whose face was flushed red: “Miss Feng.”
“Hmph! Is this how the Xuanyuan family shows respect to their esteemed guests?”
Seeing that Xuanyuan Chengtian, this man, didn’t even realize he had done anything wrong, and not only failed to apologize but also maintained such an attitude, Feng Yan'er, who had previously considered him as a potential marriage partner, now absolutely would not look at such a man who lacked gentlemanly manners!
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Chengtian was unaware of Feng Yan'er’s current thoughts; otherwise, he would have immediately gone back to burn incense and thank the gods for finally getting rid of this troublesome person.
“Miss Feng is joking. Our Xuanyuan family's etiquette is indeed good, as for esteemed guests, hehe.”
He didn’t explicitly say anything about esteemed guests, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Feng Yan'er was not his esteemed guest; only she was blind to reality.
“You!”
Feng Yan'er might have a few screws loose, but that didn’t mean she was so foolish as to not understand the implication of Xuanyuan Chengtian's words. Just as she was about to explode, she suddenly remembered there were outsiders present. As a young lady of the Feng family, noble, beautiful, and sensible, how could she ruin her reputation in front of outsiders?
Since Xuanyuan Chengtian didn’t pamper her like the previous men, Feng Yan'er didn’t take him seriously and directly turned to see the target of this meeting.
Upon seeing the young man sitting next to Scott Alman, Feng Yan'er’s eyes flickered, and she slightly raised her chin before speaking in a tone of superiority: “You must be Wu Zimo.”
Wu Zimo, seeing the fire directed at him, was not worried at all. Feng Yan'er hadn’t noticed, but Wu Zimo could see Xuanyuan Chengtian giving him a look.
Thus, Wu Zimo didn’t mind putting on a show in front of this young lady from the Feng family.
“I am Wu Zimo.”
“Enough, I don’t have time to waste with you. You are a stray descendant of the Feng family, and since you have awakened as a guide, our Feng family doesn’t mind taking you in as an orphan. By the way, what is your quantum beast? Call it out so I can see.”
“…” Looking at the impatient Feng Yan'er, Wu Zimo was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
“What? Do you have an opinion? Hehe, being accepted into the Feng family is already your great fortune, don’t forget your identity.”
Seeing Wu Zimo not showing any signs of excitement or joy, and failing to respectfully address her as 'Miss', Feng Yan'er’s eyes were filled with cold disdain as she looked at him.
A waste is indeed a waste because even after awakening, he was still so incompetent. She would definitely tell her father to send Wu Zimo to the most remote place; otherwise, he was just too annoying to look at!
This self-talking girl, Wu Zimo realized that as a normal person, he truly couldn’t understand the thinking of an abnormal person.
Just as Feng Yan'er was about to explode again, Wu Zimo weakly spoke up: “Um, Miss Feng, right? Did you forget to take your medicine before leaving today? Also, my surname is Wu; how could I possibly be a member of the Feng family?”
After saying this with a puzzled expression, Wu Zimo turned to Scott while looking even more confused, “Scott, didn’t you say the medical standards in the star realm are very high? How come this Miss Feng…”
While speaking, he shook his head with a sigh at Feng Yan'er.
Xuanyuan Chengtian nearly burst out laughing upon hearing Wu Zimo's words. To be honest, at first glance, Wu Zimo seemed quite quiet as he mostly stood quietly beside Scott while smiling gently.
But after interacting, one would find that this young man was actually quite sharp-tongued.
Feng Yan'er, having grown up this way, was hearing someone directly say she was sick for the first time, and it was no wonder she was furious. Under the influence of her master’s furious mental energy, her quantum beast, a peacock, appeared with eyes filled with murderous intent while spreading its wings and taking an aggressive stance towards Wu Zimo.
Starting a fight over a disagreement was exactly what Wu Zimo preferred!
However, before he could make a move, Scott’s silver pupils turned cold, and Caesar, like a bolt of black lightning, with sharp claws glinting coldly, pounced directly at the bird that was rushing towards Wu Zimo.
“Chirp!”
The peacock, which had initially charged at Wu Zimo with great momentum, couldn’t even last a round in front of Caesar, the apex predator.
Under Caesar's claws, it could only emit a mournful cry.
Having been subdued in one move by Caesar, fortunately, the peacock was a quantum beast; otherwise, the restaurant would have been filled with flying feathers. But even without physical feathers, Wu Zimo looked at the peacock being held down and plucked by Caesar, feeling quite sorry for it.
“Peacock!”
Seeing her quantum beast being subdued right after it attacked, Feng Yan'er was both furious and frightened. She had always heard that Scott Alman was very strong, but the proud and arrogant Feng Yan'er simply didn’t believe it.
Her peacock was the closest to the legendary phoenix, how could those ordinary quantum beasts compare? If she weren’t a guide, she would be the strongest in the star realm.
Yes, this girl was that mysteriously confident.
For such a frog in a well, someone would teach her a lesson in no time.
“Let go of peacock!” Feng Yan'er screamed at Scott. If it weren’t for maintaining her composure, she would have rushed in front of Scott and clawed at him.
Scott didn’t even acknowledge Feng Yan'er’s scream; not only he, but even Caesar ignored her.
Continuing to hold down the struggling peacock, he resumed his plucking.
Seeing that Scott was actually ignoring her and not letting go of peacock, Feng Yan'er was nearly driven mad with rage, even shouting out the Marshal's name directly.
“Scott Alman, are you trying to start a war with the Feng family?”
This time, Scott finally reacted, but Wu Zimo felt it would have been better if the Marshal hadn’t replied.
“You do not represent the Feng family.”
“Pfft.”
In fact, when their Marshal got sarcastic, he could be quite ruthless; one could see that because of Scott's words, the foundation on Feng Yan'er’s face was nearly unable to conceal her changing colorful expressions.
Wu Zimo tugged at Scott's sleeve, and when he turned to look at him, he gave him a thumbs up.
Seeing Wu Zimo’s thumbs up, Scott’s originally cold and murderous gaze immediately softened, and he reached out to ruffle Wu Zimo’s hair.
That woman actually dared to think about harming the young man in front of him; if it weren’t for Xuanyuan Chengtian’s presence, he definitely wouldn’t let her off so easily.
Starting a war with the Feng family? Not to mention that Scott completely looked down on the current Feng family; if it really came to war, then so be it!
Wu Zimo was unaware of Scott’s current thoughts. Looking at the peacock still being held down and plucked by Caesar, he quietly asked, “Caesar isn’t really planning to pluck all the feathers off that peacock, is he?”
Not far from them, the poor peacock had already lost half its feathers to Caesar. If at first, the peacock still had the strength to scream, now even its mournful cries were barely audible.
Scott merely shot a cold glance at Caesar but didn’t respond, instead signaling to Xuanyuan Chengtian, who had been watching the show.
Receiving Scott’s glance, Xuanyuan Chengtian understood that the Marshal was now very impatient. To be honest, he was also startled when he saw that Feng Yan'er dared to directly let her quantum beast attack Wu Zimo.
Fortunately, Scott reacted quickly; otherwise, letting the daughter-in-law of the Alman family have an incident on his territory, even if it wasn’t his fault, would create a rift between the Xuanyuan family and the Alman family.
