Peerless Quotes

Cui Buqu pretended to be intently trying to recall what had happened. “I remember…you said I wasn’t allowed to die.”
“And then?” Feng Xiao asked coolly.
“That’s all,” Cui Buqu said innocently.
Feng Xiao sneered. “Good, wonderful, excellent!” Each word was heavy with sarcasm. “Cui Buqu,” he said savagely. “Let me say this: I’ll never look at you again for as long as you live, even if you beg!”

“If even the wise Feng-er has no answer to those questions, how could this humble Cui know?”
Feng Xiao didn’t beat around the bush. “Daddy.”
Cui Buqu choked in surprise, his coughs growing louder.
“We’ve been through this before.” Feng Xiao cocked his head. “If I call you ‘Daddy,’ you have to agree. You mustn’t go back on your word!”
Cui Buqu sneered. “I don’t recall saying any such thing.”

Cui Buqu ground his teeth. “Allow me to give you a massage.”

“It’s only such a pity you can speak.”
