Chapter 1097 - Act Pretentious with a Mask On

However, the big brother next door wasn’t as good-looking as Shao Zun.

He was a little dark and fat.

She wondered what he looked like now, and where he had moved to.

After the accident at her place, the big brother next door and his family went far away, and they lost contact.

After so many years, she had changed a lot; it was probably the same for the big brother. Even if they met again on the street, they wouldn’t recognize each other anymore.

“Auntie Lian, what’s troubling you? Isn’t Uncle Shao Zun nice to you? You don’t have to worry about food or clothing. It would be great for any woman to be like you.” The crown prince got up and sat next to Bu Yaolian obediently, watching as she nimbly made the intricate knot.

“Is it very difficult? You’ve been working on it every day, but it’s still not finished.”

“It’s hard. You have to stack them layer by layer, and you can’t make a mistake. Also, the jade vine isn’t easy to work with. You’re still young. You don’t understand the worries of adults. The biggest worry is when the person you like doesn’t like you.”

A trace of melancholy flashed in Bu Yaolian’s eyes.

“Uncle Shao Zun doesn’t like you?” The crown prince looked at her.

He was the son of heaven and earth. He might be clear about other things, but he really didn’t know anything about relationships.

“I can’t say that I don’t like him. He’s actually quite nice to me. I’m sure he likes me, but... he has someone he truly loves, even though she has already passed away.”

The crown prince chuckled. “She is no longer alive, but you’re still here beside him.”

“It’s different. She may have passed away, but she’s still in his heart; some people are still alive when they’re dead, while some living people are better off dead.”

Propping his fair, elegant head up with one hand, the crown prince said, “That’s simple. I’ll erase Uncle Shao Zun’s memories for you. He’ll only remember you from now on, and that person won’t be in his heart anymore.”

Bu Yaolian stopped what she was doing and her eyes sparkled. “Re... really? You can do that?”

That was incredible. The crown prince could erase someone else’s memories at such a young age?

“Auntie Lian, don’t underestimate me. Back then, my father ruled the six realms. It wasn’t easy to erase a person’s memories then, but not now. I haven’t grown up yet. My real strength has yet to be unsealed.”

“When will that happen?” Bu Yaolian asked impatiently.

“When the Sky Splitting Mirror is put back together, probably after my parents come back this time. I’ll help you when I get to Heavenly Palace Cliff and undo the seal.”

Crown Prince Feng thought that Auntie Bu Yaolian was so adorable, gentle, and nice to Uncle Shao Zun. Of course he had to help her.

“Heavenly Palace Cliff? What is that place?”

Crown Prince Feng pointed at the sky. “Up there. But... Uncle Shao Zun wears a mask every day. Have you seen his real face?”

Bu Yaolian shook her head. “No.”

“You don’t even know what he looks like, and you like him so much?” The crown prince found it unbelievable.

Human feelings were really hard to understand.

“I was conquered by his magnificence. Also, the mask gives him a unique temperament. I could tell at a glance that he’s an extraordinary person.” Bu Yaolian didn’t treat Crown Prince Feng like a child at all.

No one who heard him talk could treat him like a child.

“Tsk, looks like you can really act pretentious with a mask on.” The crown prince smiled. “Auntie Lian’er, don’t you want to see Uncle Shao Zun’s true appearance?”
