CHAPTER 1042: CHAPTER 992: MASTER OF HIGHEST HEAVEN TOWER AND EMPEROR YIN

Lu Qingning once again felt as if facing a great enemy.

Only then did she realize something was amiss.

Finally meeting Ye Wanlan, her emotions were uncontrollable, naturally ignoring everyone else completely.

Including Tan Jingmo, she decided to put aside for now.

The only person Lu Qingning was concerned about first was Ye Wanlan herself; she wanted to know if Ye Wanlan had been well over the years, not caring about whom Ye Wanlan had met.

But how could this man call Ye Wanlan "Xiao Wan"?!

She disagreed!

Nor would she allow it!

"Hello, Miss Lu." Yan Tingfeng smiled, a hint of ambiguity in his words, "I’ve heard Xiao Wan mention you many times, it’s an honor to meet in person."

On the way to leaving Earth 723 to find the Time Administration Bureau, Ye Wanlan had elaborately told him about her experiences on Earth No. 9 in her second life, the people she met, and the life-and-death friendships she forged in battle.

She said she spent most of her time at Eternal Academy and remained at the top of the Eternal List.

After three hundred years straddling life and death, he finally got to be with her, naturally wanting to know everything about her.

She spoke, and he listened.

Except the more he listened, a feeling of jealousy and possessiveness secretly grew wildly within him.

How could he have missed out on just one life of hers?

In the life of Princess Yongning, he could at least stand by her as the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, leaving a legacy for the ages.

But in her second life, he didn’t even know her.

Though he had often heard her mention her younger sister, how formidable she was, and what a lovely person she was.

Yan Tingfeng lowered his lashes, raising his hand to gently touch his chest.

Lu Qingning asked quietly, "Sister Lan, who is he?"

"Tingting." Ye Wanlan nodded with a smile toward Yan Tingfeng, "I didn’t expect Little Deer to come over either. Little Deer, this is Tingting, Yan Tingfeng."

Lu Qingning covered her ears with her hands: "Ting what Ting, I’m not listening to anything. Sister Lan, what’s the relationship between you and him?"

Although she vaguely sensed something, as long as she didn’t hear Ye Wanlan personally admit it, she would pretend nothing happened.

"Whatever your relationship with Jingmo is, that’s the same as my relationship with Tingting." Ye Wanlan raised her brows, "But just when I was thinking about how to introduce Tingting, you suddenly appeared, Little Deer."

Lu Qingning was shocked, her voice trembling: "Sister Lan, you... you have a dog behind our backs."

Ye Wanlan appeared unfazed: "You had a dog behind our backs long before.

"It’s not the same!" Lu Qingning said seriously, "You know Mo Mo, and Qingqing knows Mo Mo; we all grew up together, Mo Mo was chosen by the two of you, and if you didn’t agree, I would’ve kicked Mo Mo away long ago."

Ye Wanlan raised her brows, speaking unhurriedly: "Would you really have the heart to do it, Little Deer?"

"Alright, I certainly wouldn’t have the heart." Lu Qingning felt troubled, "But Sister Lan, he—"

She glanced at Yan Tingfeng and mumbled: "Only passes for looks!"

Ye Wanlan nodded: "Not just passable, but perfect."

From the first glance at Yan Tingfeng in the psychological counseling room at Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, she knew this man fit her aesthetic perfectly.

When she saw him with white hair, she naturally liked it even more.

Who was the hunter, who was the prey, only she knew.

Yan Tingfeng blinked gently, smiling: "I’m honored too, that Xiao Wan likes this face of mine."

"No way!" Suddenly realizing, Lu Qingning exclaimed, "Qingqing said the best-looking people are the most deceptive. Sister Lan, you can’t get lost in beauty and forget our grand mission!"

Ye Wanlan replied nonchalantly: "I’m capable of having both the world and beauty."

She could guard the land beneath her feet and protect the people around her.

Lu Qingning squeezed her wrist while looking at Yan Tingfeng, giving a cold chuckle: "Fine, let’s have a contest."

Yan Tingfeng paused, seeing Ye Wanlan had no intention of stopping, then asked: "A contest of what?"

Lu Qingning: "Cooking!"

Yan Tingfeng: "?"

He discreetly pulled back the knife concealed in his sleeve.

So it was just cooking.

"What kind of expression is that?" Lu Qingning snorted, "I’m laying it out here if you want Sister Lan’s heart, you have to win over her stomach first! You pretty face who’s a fraud, I’m going to knock you down!"

Yan Tingfeng relaxed his furrowed brow, smiling deeply: "Compliance is better than resistance."

Two hours later, two tables of dishes were freshly served.

"Wow—so much delicious food!" Diwu Yue’s eyes lit up, "Oh my, Sister Little Deer, you’re amazing."

Cesar ate with relish: "Young Master Yan’s culinary skills are also quite excellent!"

Even Norton, uninterested in food, had another bowl of rice and fed Sinai with dedication afterward.

The only one who couldn’t eat a bite was Lu Qingning.

"Damn, damn, damn!" Lu Qingning stomped angrily, "How can his cooking be on par with mine, and even more suited to Sister Lan’s taste? I’m not convinced!"

Tan Jingmo was also somewhat surprised: "It’s my first time seeing someone whose cooking compares to Anning’s."

"Oh, damn!" Lu Qingning was very grumpy, "I lost, but I won’t concede. I must find a new way to defeat him and make Sister Lan realize."

Tan Jingmo held her hand, speaking calmly: "Why rush?"

"Of course, I’m rushed." Lu Qingning’s eyes widened, "I finally meet Sister Lan, and she already has someone, but in my heart, Sister Lan is invincible."

Tan Jingmo chuckled: "Then what about Little Nine?"

"Hmph, if it weren’t Emperor Yin, I would absolutely never agree." Lu Qingning turned away, "But there’s only one Emperor Yin."

"That’s why I say Little Nine is the most anxious in this affair." Tan Jingmo crossed his arms, smiling sardonically, "I haven’t seen her anxious in a long time, this time I must watch."

Lu Qingning: "Alright, you’re just bullying Qingqing!"

"How could this count as bullying? I’m just watching a show." Tan Jingmo spread his hands, "How many times has she bullied me, do you even know?"

Lu Qingning wiggled her finger: "Who told you to be Bajie."

Tan Jingmo: "..."

He smiled, already brewing a plan in his heart.

After their meal, Tan Jingmo found Ye Wanlan: "Congratulations, you’ve finally found a partner."

Ye Wanlan nodded: "Same to you."

"By the way, Wanlan." Tan Jingmo tilted his head, suddenly speaking, "On this, you were a step behind Little Nine. You didn’t set a sisterly example."

Hearing this, Lu Qingning got anxious again: "Mo Mo, how could you sell out our teammate? After all, he’s the one who brought us here."

Tan Jingmo shrugged: "I didn’t sell out anyone; I’m just giving Wanlan a heads-up."

"Hmm—" Lu Qingning pinched her chin, frowning thoughtfully, "That’s also true."

No, shouldn’t Emperor Yin get a heads-up first?

Ye Wanlan looked up: "What riddle are you playing at?"

"Not a riddle." Tan Jingmo smiled brightly, "Just letting Wanlan know in advance, you have a brother-in-law now, Little Nine is waiting for your return to hold the wedding and wants you as the witness."

Ye Wanlan remained calm and even smiled: "Who?"

Cesar shivered all of a sudden, feeling a chill all over.

He immediately wrapped himself tighter.

Oh no, there’s killing intent!
