From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 177: Chapter 175: Bai Qi's Interrogation_1

Fang Ren suddenly reached out and stroked her silver hair as she spoke so seriously all of a sudden, and said with a laugh, "Silly girl, I was just getting jealous for no reason. Why are you taking it so seriously all of a sudden?"

"No, I'm serious." Mu Huanqing said, "I heard from your conversation earlier that a lot of people were picking on you. Anyway, I can't stand my man being bullied."

"We still can't go public with our relationship," Fang Ren thought warmly.

If their relationship were to become public, it wouldn't be long before the Central Area would take action, probably first trying to split them up through legitimate means. If those methods failed to separate him and Mu Huanqing, then maybe in two or three years, the Central Area might resort to force.

Mu Huanqing nuzzled her head against his neck, her face brimming with happiness. She didn't respond directly to the matter.

"Oh, by the way, did you notice an old man secretly protecting Bai Qi when you came?" Fang Ren asked.

Chen Cheng from the Bai Family had always been secretly protecting Bai Qi. Fang Ren wondered if the old man knew about his relationship with Mu Huanqing. They had just been passionately kissing in the little park; had they been seen?

Considering this, Fang Ren felt he was being paranoid. Chen Cheng was just a mid-term master of the Yingyue Realm; if he were to monitor Mu Huanqing, she would instantly detect it.

"Are you talking about Grandpa Chen?" Mu Huanqing said.

"Yes, that's him. He didn't see you coming here, did he?" Fang Ren asked.

"Nope." Mu Huanqing smiled and said, "When I saw him floating in the sky, I quietly knocked him out."

"Huh?" Fang Ren was taken aback, "You just knocked him out?"

He had considered that Mu Huanqing might do something to avoid Chen Cheng, but he didn't expect her to use such a simple and straightforward method.

"I had no choice. If he kept protecting Xiao Xi secretly, how could I go to Ah Ran? And just now, both of us in the park, we couldn't let him watch us," Mu Huanqing said.

"That's my wife for you..."

After leaving the park, Mu Huanqing temporarily parted ways with Fang Ren. After all, it wouldn't be good if she was recognized while Fang Ren was going to see Bai Qi.

When Fang Ren returned to the restaurant, he found that Bai Qi, the young lady, was indeed still sitting at the table waiting for him. However, the scene was a bit amiss.

Bai Qi was puffing her cheeks, tightly clutching a pair of chopsticks in both hands. She had already cleaned up all the dishes on the table. Her beautiful face was filled with an expression of anger...

At first glance, it gave off the illusion that a resentful aura was burning around her.

Seeing Bai Qi looking so peculiar, Fang Ren approached with large beads of sweat on his face, looked at the empty plates on the table, and asked, "Is it ... that you haven't had enough to eat?"

When Bai Qi saw him return and blurt out without a second word, looking at the table and asking if she hadn't had enough to eat,

This remark was like a sharp needle, piercing straight into her heart, which was on the verge of exploding in anger, setting off the bomb that was already igniting in her chest.

"Eat! All you know how to do is take me out to eat!"

Smack—

Bai Qi's chopstick snapped in hand, and he gritted his teeth, "Fools like you will never be able to chase after a girl!"

"What?"

Fang Ren was baffled; he genuinely didn't understand how this princess's brain worked, able to jump from eating to chasing girls.

"Who was that woman just now? Give me a clear explanation!" Bai Qi demanded angrily, slamming the broken chopstick onto the table.

Her sudden outburst drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant, who then looked at Fang Ren with faces full of disdain, whispering and gossiping quietly among themselves.

As for what they were whispering, it was nothing more than labeling Fang Ren a heartbreaker and beginning to sympathize with Bai Qi's ordeal.

If it were before, when Fang Ren was unable to cultivate, that would have been that, but now, he could clearly hear every word spoken.

"Haven't I told you? She is a sister from my family clan," Fang Ren said, his face covered in sweat.

"Uncle Fang only has one son, which is you, and only one daughter beneath you; where did this sister spring from!" Bai Qi exclaimed furiously.

"She's my cousin, cousin," Fang Ren hurriedly corrected.

"Cousin, huh," Bai Qi nodded, her expression suddenly serious, "Alright, tell me her name. I'm going to call someone and have them inquire at your Fang Family right now."

"This... she is a distant cousin," Fang Ren said as he sensed the looming threat of exposure and quickly switched to Oscar Actor Mode, "You know, I've never had any affection for the Fang Family since I was young, even disliking any contact with them. If it weren't for the fact that this cousin and I are distantly related, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with her at all."

"Say her name, even if she's a distant relative, I want to check," Bai Qi insisted.

Fang Ren was completely dumbfounded, wondering just how devout the princess's concept of "fiancé and fiancée" was. Why did he have to be investigated for merely speaking with another woman?

Now, his relationship with Bai Qi wasn't that of a spouse, nor did they like each other, yet this girl was already policing her future husband so frequently. What would happen when they got married?

He truly pitied the husband this girl would end up with... Fang Ren silently lamented in his heart.

Though preoccupied with other thoughts, Fang Ren didn't halt his verbal defense, "My cousin, her name is Yang Wenwen. It's going to be difficult to investigate because the relationship is so distant. If it weren't for Uncle Han telling me about this distant cousin, I wouldn't have known at all."

"Yang Wenwen, is it?"

Bai Qi opened her phone, typed three characters in her notepad, then composed and sent a text message to a number. Finally, she lifted her head and glared at Fang Ren, still angry, "I just don't believe it. If she's a distant cousin, then why didn't she sit down and have a meal with us just now? And what do you need to talk about that can't be said here and requires going outside?"

Fang Ren was truly helpless, slapping his forehead, "My princess, why do you have to meddle so much..."

"I'm meddling?" Bai Qi retorted furiously, "Don't forget you're my fiancé! What kind of behavior is it to flirt with other women outside? Do you even care about me at all?"

"I've already said, she's just a distant cousin..."

"No, I don't believe it!"

"What's the matter, is there no trust even between fiancés?" Fang Ren, seeing that she liked to bring up their betrothal, decided to tackle the issue from this angle.
