A handsome stranger (ii)

I was superfluous and enchanted to meet you...

Princess Fei Fei!!

The mentioning of this name sparked a whole lot of curiosity throughout nearby onlookers who heard the masculine voice of the strange black cladded man. Moreover, Xiao Yuer wasn't left out either now that he fully comprehended who the lady beside the strange man was.

Princess Fei Fei of the Jade blossom and one of the daughters of emperor Shang Qing. The emperor of the supreme Qing dynasty that governed the Qingfeng kingdom with an amount of villages and towns. 

Really?

How could she have grown this much!?

To Xiao Yuer, he'd known this pretty young lady right from birth.

Back then after consort Fei Rong who was the mother of Fei Fei gave birth, it was said that she died afterwards, mysteriously. Hence, the royal members tagged the helpless little girl as a witch and a devourer of life. It was during this time that the grandmasters of the four main sect were summoned because of such trivial matter in order to find a solution to a problem that never existed.

Fei Fei could've faced death or worse, however, her aunt who also attended the summit and was the sole owner of the Jade blossom household accepted her as her daughter and took care of her. Depicting the reason why she wore an all green outfit.

But now she looked grown and beautiful. Her milky skin dazzling like never before!

Xiao Yuer wondered what had brought this princess here, and why she was clinging all over the strange handsome man as if he was her husband. Or were they married? Perhaps it was done after his demise.

He eyed Long Haoyu. Watching his strange, calm face for a moment, before looking away.

Who really was this Long Haoyu that was able to get her?

"But... Long Haoyu. You should have told me that you were hungry and... " The said princess Fei Fei's words of explanation were suddenly interrupted by a figure.

"Princess Fei Fei welcome to our town. Wuzhen. We're really grateful to also have you here also in the Song Chalou." A short plump man with braided moustache spoke as he approached the lady. He cupped his hands and bowed in respect.

Dispersing the quick annoyance of such interruption on spotting the elderly figure, Princess Fei Fei smiled and returned his greetings. "Thank you Mr. We are grateful." It was rather... Forced.

We?

Then they were really married!

Strange enough, Xiao Yuer felt a stinging prick in his chest when he thought about it. How could this handsome man already be taken by her? Why couldn't he be the first man he would seduce? With a sigh, He drowned his thought away after downing a cup of tea the waiter also brought out of charity.

"Welcome princess Fei Fei"

"Welcome princess Fei Fei!"

" Princess Fei Fei welcome! "

Greetings upon greetings left the lips of everyone within the Chalou, while the lady hopelessly replied with smiles and a wave of her palm until the greetings had died down and everyone returned to their previous discussions. Drunkards already gossiping about the beauty of the lady.

Not more than two seconds later Xiao yuer's corner became crowded by bunch of ladies who eyed both the strange man, and lady Fei Fei.

"Who's the Young Man beside you lady Fei Fei? Is he your husband? Can we know about him so we could greet him? "

Giggles erupted...

Xiao Yuer paused while he prepared to pick another tofu bread and eat. He frowned. Gossipers and gossips! He thought, his silver pupils raising beneath his lashes and glancing irritatedly at the bunch of ladies who lined up there for gossips. He felt his head thump annoyingly, then he face-planted within.

Xiao Yuer chose this position within the Chalou because it was hidden. However, since the appearance of this strange man things were beginning to get more irksome as time ticked by, and he didn't like it. Not even a bit.

Lady Fei Fei pressed her lips together, slowly shifting her gaze to the strangely unbothered man beside her, who maintained a calm and expressionless face. Then she fondled her green linen. She loved Long Haoyu but would it be the best option to confess it here?

Nervously she cleared her throat, still fondling her cloth, and motioned her gaze back to the lines of awaiting gossipers.

As her lips parted to speak, only then did a rebuking voice interrupt her.

Xiao Yuer raised his voice as he spoke, "Shush! Shush! All of you! Get out of here! Can't you see that I am eating? Wafting in pungent smell of unwashed clothes into my costly paid dish! Gossipmongers! Get out of here and get a life! "

With surprised faces everybody watched the unknown stranger with striking silver beauty wave his palms in demonstration as he spoke. It was insultive and hilarious at the same time!

Princess Fei Fei lifted up her palm to her face. Shielding her lips with her green linen as she giggled amusingly.

At the corner, the expressionless man towering beside lady Fei Fei finally displayed one as an amused smile crept it's way towards his lips. To Long Haoyu, this was the very first time he had ever smiled throughout his lifetime. He found the words and voice of this unknown individual... amusing but somewhat familiar!

"Shush! Are you ladies deaf?! Get out!" Xiao Yuer shamelessly harassed the women who glowered and rolled their eyes. Leaving with humiliation written over their disgruntled faces. Was he insinuating that their clothes were dirty?

He was lucky enough to be strikingly beautiful. if not, they could have insulted him a thousand times over!

After those women departure, Princess Fei Fei muttered a heartfelt 'Thank you' to Xiao Yuer who just waved it off, requesting more dishes from the waiter. A stark of already eaten dishes right before him.

Princess Fei Fei was bewildered, and so was the waiter who brought more dishes for Xiao Yuer. Gently arranging them, before leaving with the empty used ones.

After the waiter's departure, with wide eyes, princess Fei Fei leaned closer. Her index finger pointing directly at the dishes before him. "Mr. Are you really going to finish all this despite having eaten those ones that lady left with? "

Of course he was! Who wouldn't if you had never eaten for a whole year!

Xiao Yuer exhaled and looked at princess Fei Fei. He cleared his throat then wanted to reply. However, a deep masculine voice nearby beat him to it.

"Fei Fei. The matters of choice doesn't need to be questioned nor butted in. If he has decided to purchase another plate, then it's definite that he'll have them all finished. And if he doesn't? Why bothered since it's his money and his own business. " The handsome magnificent gentleman had his pupils stare into nothingness right beside princess Fei Fei as he spoke.

Dazed and confused Xiao Yuer eyed the man before pressing his lips together. Bitting down the sudden urge to smile. Or worse, laugh. Xiao Yuer felt a sense of dignity towards the choice of words the man used. He was indeed filled with wisdom and wise words, and that got Xiao Yuer more curious.

Who was he??

After he was done. Feeling hurt on why she was scolded, Fei Fei pouted before looking away. "Ok. Fine. I won't ask again."

Xiao Yuer sensed her unpleasant demeanor and decided to chip in. Hopefully, to enlighten her mood."Princess. I sincerely appreciate your care for quite overthinking on my behalf. But yes, I can finish it since I haven't eaten for three days now."

it worked!

Princess Fei Fei gave Xiao Yuer a pitiful look in response to what he said, before shifting her gaze to Long Haoyu who had a smirk on his lips. She froze. Why was he smiling? This was the first time long Haoyu smile ever since she met him!

What amused him??

The man was always a towering oak with an expressionless handsome look even when he was in a tough situation. Never reacting nor showing emotions. Thus, he was named ... The Unfazed Shadow, Among his fellow sect members.

But seeing him like this had her all baffled!

Unknown to her, Long Haoyu smiled in regards to what the familiar voice said. Even though he couldn't see, he could tell that the individual was purposely trying to cheer Princess Fei Fei up. 'Such a carefree person. " He thought.

." Long Haoyu since you said you're hungry, let's head towards the VIP cache and eat. " Princess Fei Fei brightened up and held Long Haoyu's hand after recovering from her shock. She then acted like a small little girl as she continued with giggles.

"We'll buy chicken soup, roasted meats, dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, ramen and any other dish we can afford."

Xiao Yuer had never felt more jealousy as he watched the lady hold the wrist of the handsome man. His eyes felt like they were going to bleed the next moment so he ignored them and resumed eating after mumbling incoherent words. Then, he questioned himself on why he was bothered in the first place?

" Come, come, let's go to the VIP."

Princess Fei Fei attempted pulling Long Haoyu among but he didn't budge. Rather, he gently flicked of his arm and glanced at princess Fei Fei's direction.

" No Need princess Fei Fei. Here would be better. It's ok to sit with commoners." Long Haoyu said; as taciturn as usual.

Xiao Yuer didn't expect this, hence he paused eating and glanced at the two individuals before him. Why were both of them countering each other? Lovers? He hissed internally and wanted to resume eating; but was flabbergasted when he noticed the towering masculine figure lower and gently sit down opposite him. His upper frame parallel to Xiao yuer's. Xiao yuer's demeanor couldn't express how baffled he was!

"...? Long Haoyu?" It happened so fast to princess Fei Fei that she could only manage to call his name. Two times in a row did he disagree with her opinion and option!

"Yes? Please sit princess..." Long Haoyu's light coloured black pupils blinked, while his hands calmly patted the chair beside him. "We wouldn't have to time to walk around as I'll be busy in few hours to come... "
