The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 298. Self-strategizing Zhao Luofei

Di Ao stood by the lotus pond in the garden. When she saw Fang Zhou appear, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

After being defeated by Qiao Sen, Di Ao fell into a low point in life, entangled with troublesome matters, and had actually forgotten about Fang Zhou, the peerless beauty she had taken for herself. It had been a long time since she had visited his room for intimacy.

"Why are you still in the mansion?"

Di Ao displayed a self-mocking smile, "Right now, I can’t even protect myself. No one is watching over you, so you can leave at any time."

Recently, people had been secretly escaping from the General Mansion. Di Ao originally thought that Fang Zhou, who was unwatched, would have escaped too. She didn’t expect him to still be here.

Fang Zhou thought to himself, you’re one of the baits I’m using to catch cult followers. If I’m not here keeping watch, what if the fish get away?

Of course, he couldn’t say this directly, so Fang Zhou casually said, "I’ll leave when I want, stay when I want."

Hmm, why does that sound a bit arrogant? It’s disgustingly conceited.

Di Ao gave a faint smile, said no more, and continued feeding the red carp in the lotus pond with fish food.

"Splash!"

In the next moment, the water suddenly exploded, and a figure leaped out of the pond, sword aimed at Di Ao.

Fang Zhou was taken aback, not expecting someone to attempt to assassinate Di Ao at this moment.

He hesitated and did not intervene. Although Di Ao was still somewhat useful alive at this point, he had stayed hidden for so long, it wasn’t worth exposing his strength for her.

Di Ao was also shocked. She wanted to dodge, but her injuries hadn’t healed, making her movements inconvenient. Moreover, the ambusher was stronger than her.

Just as she was about to meet her end under the sword, Di Ao suddenly grabbed Fang Zhou’s shoulder and pushed him forward as a shield.

Fang Zhou immediately got angry, dammit Di Ao, if this were a romance novel, I would at least be the male lead, right? You pushed me out to block the attack without even a moment’s hesitation.

No wonder you’re a damn single dog.

The assassin was dressed entirely in black, with their face covered and a hood, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

Her eyes were filled with hatred, seemingly focused solely on Di Ao, but when Fang Zhou was pushed out, her attention was immediately caught, showing shock and disbelief.

"You?!!"

The assassin let out a hurried voice and quickly turned the sword’s tip to avoid harming Fang Zhou.

With this delay, Di Ao had already escaped far away, and the two royal protectors responsible for her safety jumped out from the shadows to intercept the assassin.

The assassin stared blankly at Fang Zhou, her bright eyes filled with confusion.

Once the two royal protectors appeared, the assassin lost the opportunity to assassinate Di Ao and could only turn to flee.

As she fled far away, she couldn’t help but take another glance at Fang Zhou.

Through the assassin’s eyes and demeanor, Fang Zhou instantly identified her, feeling a mix of emotions, what the hell is this, how could such a mess occur.

The escaping Di Ao slowly walked back with an apologetic expression on her face and said to Fang Zhou, "Sorry, I didn’t mean it."

Hearing this typical heartless woman’s statement, Fang Zhou wished he could turn around and dunk her head in the toilet to marinate it.

Di Ao’s expression and tone were sincere, but Fang Zhou had long seen through her, a pure scoundrel, thinking only of herself and no one else.

Her pushing Fang Zhou as a shield wasn’t intentional; it was an instinctive action taken without a moment’s hesitation.

Now wasn’t the time to fall out, and Fang Zhou didn’t want to bicker with Di Ao, so he simply left with a stern face.

Di Ao watched Fang Zhou’s departing back, gradually restraining her expression, her eyes turning gloomy.

...

Fang Zhou returned to his room, and just as he opened the door to enter, someone rushed out from behind the door.

Fang Zhou was not surprised; he had heard faint breathing from inside the room before entering and could smell a tinge of blood.

He just didn’t expect out of the hundred rooms in the General Mansion, she happened to hide in Fang Zhou’s room. It was quite the coincidence.

She rushed out from behind the door and instantly covered Fang Zhou’s mouth, "Don’t make a sound!"

Once she realized it was Fang Zhou, her eyes widened, staring at him dazedly.

Fang Zhou really had no interest in playing any melodrama with her, so he simply reached out and pulled off her face mask.

As expected, it was Zhao Luofei.

Before, when Lil’ Liu said Zhao Luofei hadn’t returned to the team to meet up with Qiao Sen and the others, Fang Zhou knew she would definitely pull some kind of stunt.

Didn’t expect her to actually come to assassinate Di Ao, you have quite a vendetta with her?

"Xiaoyue, you’re really not dead!"

Zhao Luofei was filled with excitement, and her eyes even reddened.

Fang Zhou, however, got goosebumps all over from Zhao Luofei’s address.

Sis, when did our relationship become so good?

Could she really call him by his name so intimately?

To hide his identity, Fang Zhou had faked his death and escaped, thinking Zhao Luofei would forget about it in a while since they didn’t have any relationship.

But he missed considering Zhao Luofei was someone who loved to dwell on things.

After Fang Zhou’s "death," Zhao Luofei got stuck in her head, thinking she was the one who had caused Fang Zhou’s death and was tormented by it.

Under such emotional self-blame and guilt, Fang Zhou’s weight in Zhao Luofei’s heart grew heavier, appearing in her dreams every night.

Because of this, after returning to the Capital, Zhao Luofei went as far as to live under an alias, solely to assassinate Di Ao and avenge Fang Zhou.

But the General Mansion was heavily guarded, and Di Ao had three royal protectors no weaker than Zhao Luofei by her side. She had searched for a long time without finding an opportunity.

Recently, after Qiao Sen defeated Di Ao and the Di Faction’s power plummeted, Zhao Luofei found her chance and infiltrated the General Mansion to bide her time to assassinate Di Ao.

She didn’t expect to encounter Fang Zhou, leading to the assassination’s failure.

Zhao Luofei raised her hand, attempting to touch Fang Zhou’s face, her eyes full of confusion, "Xiaoyue, why are you in Di Ao’s mansion?"

Upon hearing this question, Fang Zhou could only give up on correcting her, sighing, "Ah, I’m forced to be here."

He was about to tell Zhao Luofei the truth but didn’t expect Zhao Luofei to grab his shoulder, saying excitedly, "I knew you were being forced!"

Fang Zhou looked confused, "What do you know?"

"I’ve always wondered why those three people spared me, and had a hunch until I saw you alive, and I was finally sure."

Zhao Luofei hugged Fang Zhou tightly, almost moved to tears, "It must be because you sacrificed yourself to save my life, isn’t it? And then you lied to me about your death to prevent me from risking rescuing you, right?!"

Fang Zhou: (눈_눈)

Sis, can you let me finish speaking first, and stop being self-moved and self-strategying, okay?

Fang Zhou was full of questions now, did this woman get her head injured by Luo Xuan, leaving aftereffects?

She was even self-rationalizing Fang Zhou’s deceit.

If it were in a previous life, encountering such an understanding and good woman, Fang Zhou would marry her on the spot, even if it meant selling everything.

Zhao Luofei held onto Fang Zhou, unwilling to let go, and didn’t give him a chance to explain, "Don’t worry, Di Ao is about to fall. I’ll take you away now."

Fang Zhou was about to push her away when footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the room.
